As the severity of winter weather slides further into the background, everybody tends to feel better about the outlook for jobs.

STEWART Washington, April 10. —Congress aW most certainly will not get away from Washington as soon as its leaders re cently were predicting, and as its en tire membership and the administra tion were hoping. For awhile the middle of April was spoken of as the deadline; then May 1; then mid-May; row early in June. Considering that the Republicans’ Cleveland convention starts June 9, “early in June” is fairly late in the season for Congress’ adjournment. It is politically very awkward to have Capitol Hill’s lawmakers still in ses sion with a national convention or two in eruption simultaneously.

Private industry today would be only too glad to put everybody who is now out of a job back on the pay roll. But the truth is that their old jobs no longer exist for many of these 11,000,000 people.

Former President Hoover’s erst while lieutenants are reputed to have decided to support Landon. That means the southern bloc will be for him.
