By EDWARD W. PICKARD ONGRESS settled down to earnest work that would clear the way for early adjournment, the two chief mat- ters under consideration belng taxes and rellel, Demo- cratic members of the house ways and means committee worked In executive session to draw up the new rev- enue measure which they expect will yield about $700,000,000 in additional taxes during the next year, The mi- nority members stayed away, scornfully as- gerting thelr presence was useless because the preparation of the measure was utterly partisan. Representative A. P. Lamneck of Ohlo, Democrat, was insistent on his plan to raise $500,000,- 000 by a flat 20 to 22 per cent tax on corporation income, * or a Harry L, Hopkins To produce $263,- 000,000 more and bring his plan nearly up to the money requirement outlined by President Roosevelt, Lamneck would repeal the present exemption of corporation dividends from the por- mal income tax rate, On that, he was in agreement with the committee pro- gram, Harry L. Hopkins, head of the WPA, appeared before a subcommittee of the house appropriations committee, also in executive session, to urge compil- ance with President Roosevelt's re- quest for an additional billion and a half to finance relief in the 1937 fiscal Year, Various committee members at once demanded that Mr. Hopkins tell what had been done with the $4,800, 000,000 granted last year. He was sald to have promised to do his best to satisfy them, but Chairman J. P. juchanan warned the minority mem- bers that “this is not to be made into an investigation.” RESIDENT ROOSEVELT, happy and well tanned, wound up his fish. ing cruise in the Bahamas and re- turned to Washington, He landed at Fort Lauderdale and boarded his spe- cial train at once, being accompanied for a time by Governor Sholtz of Florida and James A. Moffett who may be appointed assistant secretary of the navy to succeed the late Henry Roose- velt. Governor McNutt of Indiana, possible keynoter of convention, went up from Miami greet the President, On the way to Washington Mr. Ga. to farm and take a swim pool. Passing through part of the region devastated by the recent torna- does, he received reports from eyewit- nesses along the route, Warm Springs, ENATOR BLACK'S lobby commit- tee won a considerable victory in the District of Columbia Supreme court when Chief Justice Wheat refused to enjoin the committee _ from using the tele. grams from and to Wil- liam R. Hearst which had been seized. The Judge held that the court had no jurisdic. tion over the commit- tee, and said he could not see that the free. dom of the press was in any way involved. Sald his honor: e “I have rot been in- Senator Black formed yet of any case in which any court has assumed to dictate to a com- mittee of the senate what it should do and what it should not do, and I do not feel that I have any right to inan- gurate any such principle as that.” Elisha Hanson, counsel for Mr. Hearst, announced that he would ap peal from the decision, and It was certain that the case would ultimately be taken before the United States Su- preme court, Continuing its Investigation, the Black committee heard the testimony of Fred G. Clark of New York, na- tional commander of the Crusaders. Mr. Clark denled that the organization had ever engaged In lobbying, and de- clared that it had assailed the meth- ods of lobbyists in a national radio broadcast, Benator Black endeavored to show that the Crusaders, the American Lib- erty league, the Sentinels of the Re- public, the Southern Committee to Up- hold the Constitution, the American Taxpayers’ league, the National Econ. omy league, and similar organizations opposed to the New Deal were sup- ported largely by the same small group of wealthy industrialists. One of his investigators put In a list of contrib. utors to two or more of the groups named. Mr, Clark obtained permission to Include In the record a list of hun dreds of small contributors, who sent in sums ranging from $1 up fn re sponse to the radio program. Aa USSOLINI'S African adventure aml Hitler's Rhineland doings and future intentions, tangled togeth. er, hase created a situation that seemed to inperll the formal friend. ship between Great Britain and Franve, ‘The British were insisting that ltuly be curbed, that her use of pol son gas in Ethiopia be taken up by the League of Nations and that peace negotiations between Italy and Ethi. opla be opened quickly to forestall any attempt by Premier Mussolinl to sign a settlement which might rise from ruins of Halle Selassie's Ethi- oplan empire. Forelgn Secretary Eden indicated the British were determined to make peace progress “before we leave Geneva,” Britain reserving its decision as to what to do next if this conciliation effort falled. The conciliation committee of the league was making little or no prog. ress, and In Rome Mussolini told his cabinet that Ethiopia's armies should and would be “totally annihilated.” His own forces, meanwhile, were mov- ing rapidly toward Dessye and Addis Ababa, France was reverting to her for mer policy of letting Italy go ahead with its African conquest, devoting her attention mainly to Germany and cen- tral Europe. The British continued to treat all that in a conciliatory way, which disgusted the French. Premler Sarrant handed In his government's reply to the Hitler settlement pro- posals, submitting In return its own plan. This demanded that Germany keep “hands off” the rest of Europe for 25 years, renouncing her apparent Intentions of action against Austria, Danzig and Memel, and claims for colonles, It submitted a French peace plan based on “collective security” with regional mutual assistance pacts backed by an international army di. rected by a commission working through the league, EDERAL money totaling $076,000. 000 will be spent in the next four years on low-cost rent and slum clear- ance construction projects, provided the administration's housing bill, intro. duced by Senator Rob- ert F.

The loans would be repayable over a period not to ex- ceed 60 years, at such rates of inter est as the authority decreed. LYING through a fog on its way to Pittsburgh, a Transcontinental and Western Alr liner went far out of its course, plowed through the for est seven miles southeast of Unlon City, Pa, and smashed into a granite wall on Chestnut Ridge, Nine pas sengers and the two pllots were killed. The stewardess, Miss Nellle Granger, managed to drag one man and the sole woman passenger from the flam- ing wreckage, bound up their wounds, ran four miles to a farmhouse from which she telephoned to Pittsburgh the news of the disaster, and then returned to the scene to care for the survivors until a rescue party could arrive. The pilots were flying on a radio beam, and It was belleved thelr radio apparatus failed. At this writ ing there is no other explanation, OMETHING new in Spanish history took place in Madrid. The parlia- ment, by a vote of 238 to 5, ousted Niceto Alcala Zamora from the office of president of the republic. This ac. tion, accomplished by a coalition of Socialists, Communists, Left Repub. licans and ten minor groups, was taken on a Soclalist motion that the presi. dent had acted Illegally in dissolving the last parliament before the elections and that therefore he should be ex- pelled from office. Back of this mo. tion, however, lay radical sentiment that Zamora, In using his power ac. cording to personal whim, has ham pered the progress of the “republican revolution.” Diego Martinez Barrio, speaker of parliament, was made temporary pres ident to serve until elections are held. USSIA has rejected China's pro- test against the soviet-Outer Mon. golian mutual assistance pact, but as serted the treaty does not signify any territorial claim by the Soviet union over China or Outer Mongolia. The Russians believe that Japan plans to set up puppet states In North China and Inner Mongolia and then to selze Outer Mongolia, The Manchukuo government gave out details of a bloody battle between Manchukuans and Outer Mongolians in which the latter were repulsed, los ing six bombing planes and some tanks, ENATOR NORRIS' bill ereating a Mississippl Valley authority to ap ply the TVA experiment to 22 states is’ not approved by the National Grange, which thinks it would be absurd fo! bring new land into cultivation by irri! gation while farmers are being pald) for letting their land He fallow, Fred H. Brenckman, legislative representa. tive of the Grange, appeared before s' senate agriculture subcommittee and sald the organization also objected to the proposal to construct huge dams throughout the Misslssippl valley for the production of hydro-electric pow- er. He favored a scientific program of soll conservation but insisted upon a | distinction between conservation and | reclamation. He also advocated a scl entific flood control program, but dis tinguished between flood control and hydro-electric power development, Like previous witnesses, including electrical engineers and Morris L. Cooke, the New Deal's rural electrifi- cation administrator, Mr. Brenckman Informed the committee that flood con. trol can be accomplished only by con- structing little dams far up in the headwaters, IVE hundred members of the Work ers’ Alllance, in convention In Washington, marched to the White House to demand continuation of the Works Progress administration, but neither President Roosevelt nor any of his secretaries was there to recelve thelr petition. The men were orderly and the police did not molest them, WPA Administrator Hopkins also was absent from his office, but his assis. tant, Aubrey Williams, received the delegation, David Lasser, national chairman of the organization, told Willams the group had been promised food and shelter during their stay In Washing. ton and transportation to thelr homes, Willlams sald that under a regula. tion promulgated February 2 no fed- eral funds could be donated for con- ventions of the unemployed unless congress made a specific appropria- tion for that purpose, UE to the insistence of Senator Vandenberg for publicity on large AAA Denefit payments, Becre tary Wallace has begun telling about them. He made a partial report, withholding the names of recipients with three exceptions. This revealed that the largest cotton rental benefit payment, $123,747 for 1084, went to a Mississippl company headed by Oscar Johnston, an AAA official. Among the largest cotton payment recipients in 1933 were the Mississippl state peni- tentiary, which received $43,200 for controlling production on Its cotton acreage, and $25500 to the Arkansas state prison. ESOLVING itself into a court, the senate began the Impeachment trial of Federal Judge Halsted, L. Rit- ter of Florida—the twelfth such case in 137 years. It was believed the trial would Inst at least one week, The defendant was represented by Carl T. Hoffman of Miami and Frank R. Walsh of Washington and New York. The prose. cution was In charge of Representatives Summers of Texas, Hobbs of Alabama and Perking of New Originally approximately 60 wit- nesses were summoned for the trial, but 20 were excused because of with. drawal by the prosecution of two specifications in article seven charg. ing Judge Ritter acted improperly In electric rate and banking proceedings. Judge Ritter Is charged In seven impeachment articles voted by the house with allowing A. IL. Rankin, a former law partner, exorbitant recelv- ership fees, with “corruptly” receiving $4,500 from Rankin, with violating the Judicial code In practicing law while on the bench, and with evasion of taxes on part of his 1020 and 1030 in. comes, : In a 12000-word reply, Ritter de. nied all of the charges. He asserted none of the actions cited had “brought | his court Into scandal and disrepute” or “destroyed public confidence in the administration of Justice” in that court.

A wellknown food expert Hyperacidity 1s often caused, not by an oversecretion of hydrochloric acid In the stomach, but by slow passage of food through the stom- ach. In this case the natural acid becomes concentrated and the re sult is irritation in the lining of the stomach. Acid foods and foods which stimulate the flow of the gns- tric julce must be avoided. For this reason the diet must be low in ment and condiments. Sweets are irri tating and alcohol must be avoided. Foods with a large amount of fiber 4 RES such as whole cereals and raw vege.
