A RESUME OF GO^RNMENMENTAL
HAPPENINGS IN
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Washington, Sept. 14.?Even when
congress is not in session many of
its members are busy on official
business. That applies particularly
to members of committees and subcommittees
engaged in investigations
and the preparation of legislative
measures for the next session of congress.
One of the most interesting ar I
unusual of these betwven-session invest
ipritinn<: rVi?> iutincr 1
in New Hampshire "by Representatives
Butler and Wiidsworth of New
York, to find out what became of 34
ballots which were cast at the 193s?
first New Hampshire district.
This is pan of an effort to decide
the first "dead heat' congressional
election in 110 years. Republican
candidate Arthur B. .Tenks and
Democratic candidate Alphone Roy
were each credited with exactly the
same number of votes, ol. 679. on the
original count. A recount was held,
and Mr. Jenks was credited with ?0
additional votes. He took his seat
in congress but his right to it has
been challenged by Mri Beiter, who
claims that 34 legitimate ballots cast
for hrni were either lost or stolen
while the recount was in progress.
Tiie committee of two is taking
the testimony of election officials
and other witnesses to find out. if
they can. where those 34 ballots
went. On their report will depend
whether Mr. Jenks retains his seat
in congress or whether Mr. Roy
takes his place.

se by congress that H would give
early consideration at the next session
to a new plan for Federal crop
c ritrol. he gave all of the members
cf congress, especially those from
preponderantly agricultural districts
work to do over the recess. What
members want to know is how much
and what kind of crop control their

President has in mind, but well in,
formed Washington observers say
that he no longer sees eye to eye
with his secretary of agriculture on
this subject. Mr. Wallace is said to
he :hying away from any new
plunge into rigid production control.
The President wants to start
where AAA left off. with ever, more
! control The rurncr is that a serious
, rift has developed between the President
and Mr. Wallace, who has been
away from Washington most of the
! summer. and a cabinet change is
j hinted at.
Meantime the International Jnsti[tute
of Aficufture. in its annual iheet;
:ng at its headquarters in Rome, has
I gone on record as opposing any artij
fica! crop control, such as is pracj
ticed, it points out, in the totalitarian
j states of Russia, Germany and Italy.
and in the United States.
Tlie welfare ot the world depends
upon Increased production and more
efficient distribution in order that
the economic needs of all people
shall, be supplied, soys the institute.
Edward F. Mrdrady Resigns
The resignation of Edward F. Mci
Grady from the post of assistant secretary
of labor to become the counselor
on labor relations of a big inlustrial
corporation is regarded here
with regret that the administration
has lost the services of one of its
ablest harmonizers in the troubled
field with which the labor departj
ment is concerned.
Air. McGrady has been the. stabilizer"

i having brought Secretary Perkins
j around to a more impartial point of
view on strike tactics than she held
when she expressed the opinion that
sit-down strikes were not illegal.
| j The resettlement administration,
the pet project of Prof. Rex Tugwell
for putting people back on the
land, has gone out of existence. In
its place has been set up the farm
security administration, under the

besides financing tenant farmers to

International Situation Tense
Secretary of State Hull, according
to Washington gossips, is bitterly .
i disappointed that his dream of bring- i
! ing the world back to sanity under j
the leadership of the United States, ;
by means of reciprocal treaties to ;
restore the free flow of trade, has
had no effect on preventing the occurrence
of one international crisis j
after another.
The far from peaceful interna-!
tional situation is giving the admin- ,
i istration much more serious concern ,
jthan appears on the surface of official
pronouncements. Memories
hark Back to the administration of
Wood row Wldson, under whom Presi- !
dent Roosevelt served as assistant
secretary of the navy. Mr. Wilson
had started a new deal of his own.
He was driving ahead to broad
reforms when the World War came
I along, halting his program at once,
because the economic upheaval was
felt in Amcjica for nearly three
I years before we got into the wark.
The world today is again on the
brink of serious trouble. Whether
this country becomes involved or
not, any outbreak of general warfare,
either in Europe or the Far
East, would seriously affect Ameri
! can business and industry and reduce
i uio puouc s recepuvuy to programs
| of reform.
