Washington, March 23. ? Pour subjects of major interest domi nate all Washington thinking and conversation these days. They are ? taeTVA controversy, the Tax bill, the Governmental Reorganization bill and politics, with special ref erence to the Congressional elec t-ions next fall. The Tennessee Valley flood con t>ol and power project has been a violently controversial subjact irom its inception. It broke into the white light of publicity when Chairman Arthur Morgan of the TVA wrote a letter to Congress man Maury Maverick of Texas <. narging his two associates. David l.ilienthal and Harcourt Morgan, with a great variety of improper conduct, including attempts to uake the TVA into something noty contemplated by the law, and with defying Dr. Arthur Morgan's au tnority as chairman. UV A Quiz Looms This gave the opponents of the whole TVA scheme the opening they had been looking for and t'hey did not miss the opportunity. It is as certain as anything in the future can be that there will be "igid and far-reaching investiga tions of everything which has * 'jeen done hy the Authority, in ? luding a public examination of t'he charge, made in the annual report of the acting Controller '?eneral, that some ten million ? ollars had been spent without proper legal authorization. Opponents of the TVA scheme ?A putting the government into the electric power business are predicting that a scandal of major proportions will be disclosed if the investigators dig deeply -.nough. In any event, the situation is 'jaded with dynamite and holds he possibility of widening tlie split between New Deal and Con servative wings of the Democratic ?tarty, a spilt which has been get ting wider ever since the break in party solidarity over the Presi rlent's Supreme Court reorganiza tion plan. -i ,? -ongres.s Takes Keins That Congress is now doin^ its own legislation without taking or ders from the Executive^ branch tiecame evident to everybody in ihe debate in the House on the aew Tax bill.^The bill, as report ed by the, Ways and Means Com mittee, was distinctly an Adminis tration measure, especially the third basket" section which puts >" an additional heavy tax penalty family controlled or closely leld corporations. The defeat of "his part of the bill by the House tiroughti sharply to the fore the ?act that Congress seems more sympathetic to the appeals of bus ness for relief from stifling taxa tion than are some of the Presi dent's advisors. Shrewd observers are predict ing that' when the Tax bill reach fa the Senate It will come in for further manhandling. The Senate can do nothing about any tax measure until the House is through with it. The Senatte Fi nance Commit'tee has to study and report on the bill in the form 1n ?which it finally passed the House. Senate Committee Hostile The present Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee is the Hon. Pat) Harrison of Mississippi who is still smarting over the President's action which deprived aim last summer of the position af majority leader in the Senate. Idr. Harrison has always felt that ae would have been t<he choice of .his party caucus, after the death af Senator Joe Robinson, if the President had not written his fa^ aaous "Dear Alben" letter to Sen ator Barkleyof Kentucky express-' :ng his hope that- Mr. Barkley would step into, the dead leader's thoes. Even this manifestation of Presidential influence succeeded in defeating Senator Harrison by ?only one vote and he, together with many of his friends, have looked with Increasing bitterness upon Administration activities. Therefore, now the Tax bill finds itself In the hands of a Sen ate Committee whose chairman and majority of members are op posed to almost anything the President wants and moBtr of whom have expressed sympathy from time to time with the plea of business and industry for re jief from oppressive taxation Senate Favors Tax Relief Most hated of all New Deal Tax measures has been the undistrib uted profits and capital gains clauses in tihe current revenue structure and both of these tax provisions have been retained in the new bill, though in a modified form. Observers who claim to be .able to read the Senatorial mind are predicting that tihe Senate Fi- J nance Committee will recommend the complete repeal of the undis tributed profits ?tax and further reduction of the capital gains tax. and that the Senate will do what its Committee recommends. The ultimate outlook for the President's reorganization plan is still obscured by fog as to details but it Is believed here that certain groupings of executive functions, / generally conceded to be neces sary in the interests of economy, will be authorized but that the broad powers sought by the Pres ident will not be granted and that the proposal to change the civil ?ervlce system and do away with the present functions of tihe Con troiler-Oeneral la passing upon Dead or Alive?

Forecast OOP Oains Political prophets are begin ning to be more specific in Uheir predictions. It is conceded private ly, even by the most) ardent Demo crats. that the Rpptiblicans Willi gain between 40 and 60 addition al seals at this year's elect-ions, I giving them around 140 members j of the lower House instead of their present 90. That would still leave the Democrats with a two to-one majority. Professed readers of the Presi dential mind, of whom there are many who seldom read it correct ly. represent Mr. Roosevelt as be ing reconciled to letting political events take their natural course, as well as keeping hands off Con-^ Kress.

The following schools have been closed on account of Measles epi demic in these localities: Runn, Pearce, Pilot and Harris. There is only oue way of elimi nating the spread of this disease, that is by segregation. Whenever a child shows symptoms of Meas les such a child should be kept at home and other children from the same household who never have had Measles should certainly uot be allowed to attend school, for riding in school buses and attend ing school is one of the most pro lific sources for dissemination of Measles or any other contagious disease. The following is the law about reporting Measles and other con tagious diseases: "When a . superintendent or teacher of any private or public school has reason to suspect that any disease herein declared to be reportable exists in his or her school. district, he- or she shall ?nuke a report within 2 4 hours to < the lofal quarantine or health of ficer. giving the name of the per son or child, name and address of the householder with whom the person or child lives and the name of his or her school district, and shall prohibit 'return of person or child to school until a permit is granted by t-he health officer. ? "Parnet, guardians, and heads of households must niptify the health officer or quarantine offi cer in the absence of an attend ing physician of all cases occui'ing in their household." * * * i?; lie * * * * * f * HOME DEMONSTRATION ? j * DEPARTMENT ? <?

The trouble is that one extrav agance always suggests another. "IT TOOK 11 YEARS TO PROVE IT - - - but the proof is most conclusive!" NOW, OVER 50% OF ALL THE ELECTRIC I REFRIGERATORS SOLO TODAY, ; HAVE SEALI9 MECHANISMS General Electric introduced the first sealed-in-ste.?l refrigerator mechanism just eleven years ago. It immedi ately became the target of competition. "Foolhardy," they exclaimed, "to seal away a mechanism." But, the saaled-in steel mechanism, sealed away from the destructive forces of air. moisture, dirt and tinkering hands, needed no atten tion. It proved a tremendous step forward in dependable, modern refrigeration that could not be ignored. Soon, other manufacturers followed and today more than 50% of all electric refrigerators sold have sealed mechanisms. BUT ONLY G. ?. HAS OIL COOLING, PLUS PRESSED LUBRICATION You cannot oil the mechanism. It isn't necessary, for a permanent supply of cooling oil bathes the vacuum sealed mechanism of the Triple Thrift refrigerator . . . lubri cating every moving part, cooling the entire motor.. Tech nically this may mean little to you, but economically it means much more. It means lower operating cost, greater dependability, and longer life. 6. E.
