ROGERS AND ASTAIR HAVE KNOCK-KNEES Anatomy of Bodies Like That Aids in Development of Expert Danc ers, Is Claim Pasadena, Cal., June 22. —(AP) — Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire are both knock-kneed. The California Osteopathic Asso ciation today was told it was one of the secrets of their dancing success. “Their dexterity or the grace of ballet and ecstatic artists, like Theo dore Kosloff, or Franchon Wolfe,’,’ said Dr. William Madsen, of Pasadena is due to the fact they are knock kneed. In fact, one could make the startling assertion the best dancers are knock-kneed. The anatomy of the pelvis, thighs, knees and legs puts these members in a knock-kneed po sition when they properly support weight. “Knock-knees are also an asset to a linesman of a football team,” the doctor said, citing Ed Widseth, of the University of Minnesota tackle. 8 PAGES TODAY Six Days of Heated Contro versy on New Appropria tion of $1,500,000,- 000 End POST OFFICE ACTS UPHELD BY FARLEY Postal Chief Says He Had Power To Refuse To Carry Mail Into Strike Plants; Navy Announces It Will Construct Two New Battle ships Itself Washington, June 22 (AP) —The Senate approved the administration’s $1,500,000 000 relief bill today, winding up six days of heated controversy. A few minutes before, with shouts of “no,” a majority defeated an amend ment to cut the bill to $1,000,000,000. The proposal was made by Senator Bridges Republican, New Hampshire. Efforts yesterday to require speci fic contributions from communities for relief projects likewise were de feated. In the meantime, Postmaster Gene ral Farley contended in United States District Court the Post Office Depart men had legal authority to stop de liveries of mailed foodstuffs in the strike-besieged steel plants in Ohio. Farley made the contention to a mandamus action brought against him by the Republic Steel Corpora tion, in which the latter sought to compel the- department to permit de livery of packages containing food and clothing to its plants in Niles and Warren, Ohio. The postmaster general charged the corporation had offered such pack ages for delivery primarily to involve the government in the industrial con troversy. Elsewhere in Washington the Navy Announced it woul dconstruct its two new battleships in government navy yards. One will be built at the New York yard and the other in Phila delphia. Meanwhile, White House officials said President Roosevelt had virtually recovered from his nasal trouble of yesterday.
