An exchange hints that maybe;
Hitler and Mussolini have quieted;
down for awhile. Well, we hope
so, but cur honest opinion is that
they are only quiet long enough
to think up something else to
raise the devil about. They aren’t
being good. They are just mak
ing plans to start something new
and maybe worse than hereto
fore.
When Hitler gave the United
States government just one week
to clear out of Poland with their
consulate the U. S. should have
done some tall thinking. For in
stance, the Germans have a con
sulate in San Francisco which
our government could have order
ed them to close in the same
length of time, and if they didn’t
the entire lot should have been
pitched into the Pacific ocean for
the fish to eat—if fish eat such
trash. Truth is they didn’t wantj
our representatives in Poland to
witness the cruelties they are
practicing over there.
Unusual Easter
Easter has come and gone, and
what an Easter. Seldom is an
Easter on as early a date as
March 24. There has not beeni
an Easter on March 24th forj
more than 350 years and it will
be 451 years before it comes on
that date again. You can start
worrying about that now if you
care to.
About the year 325 A. D. it was
decided that Easter should come
on the first Sunday following the
first full moon which occurred on
or after March 21, making it
possible for Easter to come as
early as March 22, or as late as
April 25. Next year it will be
April 13.
Then the weather man took a
strong hand this year to make it
more unusual. He ordered snow
for most of the country almost
the full day, said to be the first
snow on Easter Sunday in 55
years.
Well these are unusual times
and a rare Easter is no more than
in keeping with everything else.

WASHINGTON
Washington, March 28—Movie
goers who saw the film “Mr.
Smith Goes to Washington” may
have got the impression that
sessions of Congress are apt to
be dramatic and exciting affairs.
As a matter of fact both the Sen
ate and the House of Represent
atives usually put on a pretty
dull show. Only once in a blue
moon is there anything of emo
tional or dramatic interest in the
debates in either House.
Senators and Members as a
rule keep their tempers under
pretty close control when they
are out on the floor where the
visitors in the galleries can see
and hear them. After they ad
journ, what they say to each
other is something else again.
There came near to being an
exhibition of fireworks when the
Senate began to discuss the
amendments offered by Senator
Carl Hatch of New Mexico to his
bill to keep Federal office hold
ers out of politics, which became
a law last year. Mr. Hatch pro
posed to extend the law to keep
all State employees whose sal
aries are paid in whole or in part
out of Federal funds, from taking
part in any way or contributing
to Federal election campaigns.
This proposal was aimed pro
marily at State Highway Depart
ments, which administer high
way funds provided in part by
the Federal Government. In
many states, perhaps in most, the
Highway Department has become
a powerful arm of the dominant
political machine.
Naturally, many Senators of
both parties didn’t like Mr.
Hatch’s new proposal. There was
more sputtering and violent lang
uage heard on the Senate floor
than at. any previous time this
session. And when Senators
gathered in the cloak room af
terwards the things that some of
them said to some of the others
were almost unprintable.
The Democratic floor leader,!
Senator Barkley of Kentucky, i
who had backed up Senator
Hatch, became so angry, when!
his party followers abused him,
that he threatened to resign his
position as the party’s leader, but
nobody called that bluff.
The Senate finally passed the
new amendments intended to
make politics pure, #and tacked
on another provision that no
body may legally contribute more
than $5,000 to any party cam
paign funds. If such a law could
be enforced it; would hit the re
sources of both parties about
equally.
Dramatic occurrence
The most dramatic occurrence
in Washington lately occurred in
the committee room of the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee.
Lester P. Barlow, a well-known
inventor, many of whose devices
are used by the Army and Navy,
explained to the Committee sit
ting behind closed doors the
workings of a new bomb filled
with a combination of liquid oxy
gen and carbon.
Everybody in the room was
sworn to secrecy but according to
Senator Nye, who said he had
never seen a Senate Committee so
thoroughly impressed, Inventor
Barlow convinced the Senators
that his new miiltary weapon is
the most devastating explosive
ever devised.
The detonation of a single
bomb dropped from an airplane
would destroy all life and all
buildings over a radius of many
miles. The committee was so im
pressed that before it adjourned
an oath of absolute secrecy was
administered not only to the
Senators but to the committee
clerks in attendance, and the
stenographers1 notes of the in
ventor’s statements were direct
ed to be burned, to prevent a
possible leak.
In another Senate committee
room a dramatic episode occurred
when a Negro Communist, Ben
jamin J. Davis, Jr., who is a
graduate of Harvard Law School
and an assistant editor of the
Communist newspaper, The Daily
Worker, delivered a fifteen min
ute tirade against the opponents
of the anti-lynching bill. He
abused Vice-President Gamer and
members of the Committee by
name and narrowly escaped being
thrown out of the Committee
room physically. He was actual

Most Interesting Topic
Outside of Presidential politics
and plans for distributing more
money where it will do the most
good in the Presidential cam
paign, the most interesting topic
which members of both Houses
are concerned with is the pro
posal to amend the National La
bor Relations Act to give em
ployers as good a break as em
ployees now get.
The issue is pretty sharply
drawn between the Conservative
Democrats, cooperating with the
Republicans, and the New Deal
ers in Congress over the recom
mendations for radical changes
in the Labor Relations laws and
Lie methods of their administra
tion.
This is the one measure now
pending before Congress in which
the full power of the Administra
tion is being exerted. Mr. Roose
velt’s aides and followers do not
want the law changed. The out
come is still uncertain.
Economy Forgotten
Congress will shortly begin to
give serious attention to new
plans for helping the farmers.
There is every indication that all
the economy talk will be forgot
ten^ and that a great many more
millions than the original budget
provided will be appropriated for
one form or another of Farm Re
nei.
Secretary Wallace’s new scheme
of raising four hundred and
eighty millions by a complicated
processing tax probably will not
be the answer which Congress is
seeking. There is a good chance
of the passage of a law to enable
tenant farmers to buy their
farm with money lent to them by
the Government on long-term,
low-interest mortgages.
