WAIHINdtH
Washington, May 18. —When
the President returned from his
Texas fishing trip he found Con
gress disinclined to consider any
new programs of legislation be
yond what they already have be
fore them, but eager to get the
decks cleared and yet out of
Washington as soon as possible.
Also, he was told that Congress
was taking his economy recom
mendation seriously, and might
insist upon drastic cuts, not only
in appropriations for the regular
administrative departments but
also for relief.
The real leader of the new
"economy bloc" on Capitol Hill is
Vice-President Garner, who makes
his ideas heard through the voice
of Senator Byrnes of South Caro
lina. In the House, the spokes
man for economy is Representa
tive Sam Rayburn of Texas, the
majority leader. Behind these
leaders is a growing strength
which is apparently determined to
make a vigorous effort to bring
the national budget into balance.
The first step in that direction,
of course, is to spend less money.
The next is to raise more revenue.
Unless it becomes absolutely nec
essary to replace the income from
the Social Security payroll taxes
which would be the case if the Su
preme Court declared that Act un
constitutional, there will be no
new* tax laws at this session, but
a general, overhauling and reor
ganization of the whole tax sys
tem is planned for next year.
Meantime, both Houses seem very
earnest in their desire to cut costs
this year.
Belief Workers Organizing
The big problem is relief. The
pressure from municipalities and
states against any prediction in
relief appropriations is terrific.
The inclination of the economy
bloc is to cut the President's
recommendation of a billion and
a half down to one billion for
relief; the "mayors' lobby" is de
manding two billions. Harry Hop
kins, relief administrator, is
sounding the warning that even
the President's billion and a half
will not be enough, but would
have to be supplemented by an ad
ditional appropriation next year.
Washington is hearing reports
that relief workers and benefi
ciaries are organizing for a march
on the Capitol, to stage a demon
stration and "put the heat on."
At the same time, Senators and
Representatives are asking seri
ously why, if the business situa
tion is back to the 1929 normal,
which is generally true, is it nec
essary to continue to maintain
so many persons at Government
expense?
Best Period Since War
Nobody, not even Harry Hop
kins, knows the answer. The Fed
eral Reserve Board confirms the
statement that industry is now
running above the peak of the
most prosperous period since the
World War. Factory employment
and payrolls have more than
doubled since the bottom of the
depression in 1932. But unemploy
ment continues on a large scale.
The Relief Administration's
latest figures show 2,000,000 per
sons on the payrolls of the Works
Progress Administration and local
and state governments, provid
ing a dole for another 1,500,000
families. The Social Security
Board reports that 1,716,000 indi
viduals are receiving Old Age As
sistance through state old age
pension plans in which the Fed
eral government matches the
state's payments, dollar for dol
lar. The Resettlement Adminis
tration reports 400,000 farm fami
lies getting a monthly dole and
400,000 more getting loans and
grants.
That all totals up to nearly 6
million families getting Govern
ment assistance in a year of busi
ness prosperity comparable to
1929. The largest number ever on
relief, when the depression was at
its worst, was 7 million. Industry
is reporting a shortage of skilled
workers, yet the great army of
the unemployed continues. Why?
Congress would like to know the
answer, and the proposal for a
complete, accurate and timely
census of the unemployed, which
would give a true pictre of the
whole relief situation is gaining
support on Capitol Hill.
Court Plan Unsettled
The fate of the President's plan
for enlarging the Supreme Court
is still uncertain. The opposition
to it is becoming well organized,
while its advocates are putting in
creasing political pressure upon
wavering Senators and Congress
men. The best opinion here is
that the President will eventually
recede from his position of insis
tence upon the whole program,
and will listen to a proposal for
adding two justices to the su
preme Bench, under a plan which
would again reduce the Court to
nine in case of the death or resig
nation of any two of the present
members. Back of this suggested
VIGOROUS BEES
MAKE MUCH HONEY
Should Check Bees' Food Sup
ply and General Health for
- Best Results
SHOULD USE GOOD HIVES
A strong, vigorous bee colony
that has plenty of bees in the
spring will be in good condition
to gather a great deal of honey
this season.
C. L. Sams, extension apiarist
at State College, urges all bee
keepers to check their colonies to
see if they have enough food, a
good laying queen, and are free
from disease.
If the food supply is less than
15 to 20 pounds of honey a col
only should be fed 15 to 20 pounds
of sugar syrup. When food is
low, brood-rearing falls off and
the colony will not have sufficient
bees to gather honey.
If the colony is queenless, or if
its queen is old and failing, the
colony should be united with an
other having a vigorous, healthy
queen. Or the apiarist may pro
vide a new queen.
If any dead brood is found,
samples of comb two or three
inches square, containing as much
dead brood as possible, should be
sent to the bee culture laboratory.
Bureau of Entomology, U. S. De
partment of Agricultre, Washing
ton, D. C.
If the laboratory ftuds the trou
ble is European foul brood, young
vigorous Italian queens should be
introduced into the colony at
once. Eggs from Italian queens
are resistant to this disease.
But if the disease is American
foul brood, the colonies affected
should be burned at once to keep
ompromise is the report, seeming
ly authentic, that two of the Jus
tices now on the Supreme Bench
plan to retire at the end of the
present term of Court, this June.
It is reasonably certain that no
other major legislation will be en
acted until the Court issue has
been settled. Whether or not
there will be pressure from the
White House for new wage-and
hour legislation is still indefinite,
but it is known that the President
is giving serious consideration to
such a program, on a plan worked
out by Thomas J. Corcoran, coun
sel for the R. F. C., Benjamin V.
Cohen, general counsel of the
P.W.A., and James Roosevelt, the
President's son and secretary.
Those three young men are re
ported to be doing most of the
Administration planning.
