Rhe WEEKLYMSHIHGTOH MERRY TUM MUR ROUND PEGISTERtO NRA Decision Sends 1936 Campaign Off To Hot Summer Head Start; Roosevelt must Fight For New Deal And Opponents Have An Issue; Munitions Exporting Con tinues Active Despite Senate’s Probing; Senate’s Un noticed Anti-Lobby Bill Likely To Die In The House. by DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN ~ Washington — The Suprem Court’s NBA decision has changet the immediate political picture. Usually the summer just befor* a campaign summer Is somnolem and lazy. Political fences are re paired, but without any fireworks, This summer is different. The electoral campaign for 1936, in effect, already is in full swing. Heavy guns are wheeled into place. The firing is going to be hot and heavy. Reason is that Roosevelt oppon ents suddenly have been present ed with an issue. And they can’t afford to let it get cold. Hither to they had a number of minor issues, were groping rather fruit lessly for an effective way to use them. But now they have been handed a heaven-sent weapon. They can attack Roosevelt as the uprooter of the Constitution, an advocate of revolution, a disrecpecter of the Founding Fathers. Roosevelt, in turn, has decided to more than accept the chal lenge. He is taking the initiative, in the battle by insisting on push ing through his legislative pro gram in toto. This means Con gress in session all summer and the most vigorous political and legislative battle in years. Washington will be hot in more ways than one this summer. FAVORABLE The Honorable Michael J. Stack is a man with a big heart. The Philadelphia Democrat is a member of the House Com ’ mittee on Claims, which passes on all so-called "private bills.” These are measures authorizing payment to individuals who have claims against the Government. Thousands of them are introduced each session and it is the practice of the committee to divide them among House members to study, then recommend to the full body. Stack’s unfailing report on every bill turned over to him for perusal is “favorable,” a source of much amusement to his col leagues. The following is a typical ex ample of what occurs in the com mittee room when Stack reports: Stack: With reference to bill H. R. 16597, I report favorably. Chairman: What is the nature of the claim, Mr. Stack? Stack: Why ... er ... its printed right here on the jacket of the bill. And I report favor ably. Chairman: Hmm. I see, a claim for losses incurred while in the Government’s employ. Have you read the department’s re NOT1CE State of North Carolina, County of Alleghany.

BUSINESS AS USUAL Sensational and startling have been the secrets of the arms in dustry brought to light by the Senate Munitions Committee. But for all the effect these disclosures have on the business of the arms makers the committee might just as well never have existed. Int he first 3 months of this year—during the period when the Senate probers were most active —the munitions manufacturers exported a total of $632,539 worth of arms as follows; Pistols and revolvers, $77,289. Rifles, $126,716. Shotguns, $26,431. Machine guns and artillery, $125,414. Cartridges, $162,225. Shells and projectiles, $91,150. Smokeless powder, $23,314. These official figures, however, do not tell the whole story. First, government authorities admit that the figures are. incom plete. Second, there are no defi nite data on the amount of poison and other varieties of dis abling gases that were sold abroad. These lethal commodities are ship ped under trade and technical designations which mask their real identity. But Government experts are convinced that a large quantity of poison gaa was re ported. Finally, the munitions sales do not include the foreign disposal of aircraft and aeronautical equip ment. During tne nrst quarter, Ameri can airplane makers shipped abroad airplanes valued at $1, 782,593, all of them either der signed outright for military use or made so as to be easily con verted. One of the leading purchasers was the Nationalist government of China which bought 28 fighting and bombing machines in Janu ary. Nazi Germany also was a heavy buyer of airplanes. WRONG STORE Here, is General Hugh John son’s latest story: A woman, desiring to breed canaries, went into a bird store and asked for a pair of the yel low warblers. The clerk showed her a handsome couple. “How will I know," the woman asked, “which is the male and which is the female?" “Oh, that’s easy. The male eats the male worms and the female the female worms.” The woman purchased the birds and started to leave when a thought struck hex. Turning to the clerk she inquired: “How will I tell which are male and which are female .wprms?” “Madame,” replied the clerk, “this Is a bird store, not a worm store.” ANTI-LOBBY BILL For the second time in five years the Senate has sent over to the House a reform that has been needed almost since the founding of Congress. The excitement and confusion blanketing Washington since the Supreme Court’s NBA decision has obscured the Senate’s move, but the Democratic bosses of the House are acutely aware of it. They have been secretly con fabbing among themselves on what to do about the hot potato. What the Senate did was to pass Senator Hugo Black’s bill requiring lobbyists to register and file reports giving the names of the interests or individuals they represent, their compensation and expenses. ■ An added stinger in the biH is its application to lobbyists from government departments as well as to outsiders. * For the Bath Tafcei The Air [ toe ANGELES . . .

She io the first ranking aereen star to pilot » piano aeroos the tonatry. this provision will be a bitter pill IF it becomes law. But the IF is a big one. The reason is that House rul ers—Republican as well as Demo cratic—have always opposed curbs on lobbyists. Despite repeated lobbying scandals and sensational investigations—the Mulhall probe in 1913 and the Caraway inquiry in 1929-30—every attempt to clamp down on lobbyists has come to naught in the House Following the late Senator Thaddeus Caraway’s disclosures the Senate passed his bill re quiring lobbyists to register. The House promptly pigeonholed it. What will be the fate of Black’s measure—offspring of his ocean and airmail lobbying revelations— remains to be seen. Betting in Congress cloakrooms is that it will get no further than Caraway’s proposal. BAPTIST Philadelphia’s Representative J. Burrwood Daly is a Roman Catho lic. But coming from a polyglot district he has leaned over back ward to avoid any suggestion of religious preference in his patron age appointments. Particularly was he anxious to be meticulous in this matter in making his West Point and An napolis selections. Finally he de cided on what he thought would be an air-tight solution. He asked three prominent Pro testant minister in his district— a Baptist, a Methodist and a Presbyterian — to recommend worthy young men for appoint ment to the- service colleges. This they did. ' And heading their list was a youth bearing the name of Aloysius Fitzpatrick. “The interesting thing about this boy,” explains Daly, “is the fact that he is a Baptist. But just try and make anyone be lieve it.” MERRY-GO-ROUND Inspired by the Supreme Court’s smashing turn-down of the NRA, utility interests opposing the Ad ministration’s Holding Corporation Bill are openly* threatening to throw the measure into the courts. . . Despite reports from close friends of A1 Smith that he would not accept a fusion can didacy against Roosevelt next year, Administration politicos re fuse to be convinced. Among the inner circle, where feeling against A1 is strong, it is be lieved that if A1 thought he saw a chance to win he would run. Big Jim Farley is strongly of this opinion. . . Dr. Frank E. Townsend father of the oldr-age pension plan, is having his hands full out west trying to stamp out a movement among his followers to oust Robert L. Clements, his business manager. The rank and file are demanding that Town send submit to a national board of directors who would have a voice in the management of the organization. . . Assistant Secre tary of War Harry Woodring has leased the historic Nellie Custis house at Woodlaw, 1 Virginia. Three miles from Mt. Vernon and overlooking the Potomac River, the old mansion was bfiilt in 1799 by George Washington as a wedding gift for his step-daugh ter.

In response to his in quiry the principal said: “Your son will probably go down in his tory—” “That’s good news,” glowed the parent.

Sleep at Twice the Price Visitors to the house in the daytime made so much noise, that the night nurse could not get sufficient rest to prepare her for her work. One day she happened to men tion this to the doctor, who wrote a large notice with the words: “Please remember the night nurse” and placed it in the hall table. Next evening, when she came on duty, she found, beneath the notice, a shilling, a six-pence, and a few coppers.—Liverpool Express.
