SPEAER URCES 55 DALLYN Says Concentration Would Enable Congress to Ad- journ by July 1. BY WILL P. KENNEDY., Speaker Joseph W. Byrns, irked by eriticism of Congress laxity from all parts of the country, declared today he belleves Congress should quit ad- journing for a day or two when mem- bers want to go to a ball game or take a trip and should concentrate on the half dozen measures on the admin- istration’s program which are con- sidered especially important. At the present rate, the Speaker estimated, Congress cannot get away before August 1. He says, however, that if the House sticks to its knitting it can be ready to adjourn by July 1. Speaker Byrns and other House leaders are annoyed by the suggestion that the Senate is stalling in an effort to have the House act first on the highly controversial N. R. A. exten- sion measure, The President is par- ticularly insistent that this measure be passed, while there is a strong gen- eral sentiment in Congress and in re- actions from all parts of the country | that this measure cannot be put | through at this session. The Senate expects to complete hearings on the N. R. A bill Thursday. Security Bill Work. The House attitude was disclosed today when the Speaker and Chair- man O'Connor of the Rules Commit- tee passed the word along that they hope to have the social security bill now before the House, and which was considered the greatest time consumer of all measures on the administration’s program, completed by the House this week. A canvass of House members strongly indicated the House will not be through with the social security | bill before mext week | Speaker Byrns said today that if | the House must act first on the | N. R. A. measure it is imperative to | complete action on the social security bill in order that the committee may give intensive study to the N. R. A. | measure. The Speaker said there is a drive | also to get action on the utility hold- ing measure and that this in some | form must be passed before Congress | adjourns. There is a strong predic- tion that this measure will not be passed by the present Congress in any form. Chairman Rayburn of the In- | terstate and Foreign Commerce Com- | mittee, which is daily considering the | utilities holding bill, declared em- | phatically that the committee will re- port it out and that he expects it will be passed. Omnibus Banking Bill. The omnibus banking bill, on which the House Banking and Currency Committee is concentrating in execu- tive session. is another one of the| party measures which the adminis- tration leaders are endeavoring to bring to early passage. but against which there is emphatic opposition, with the opponents insisting that it cannot be passed. The naval appropriations bill is an- | other highly controversial measure. There is very strong opposition to some of the increases. Speaker Byrns | admitted that it will take the best | part of a week to get this bill through | the House. ‘The transportation and bus bill, which is being considered by the Senate, is still another measure which is causing unexpected trouble for the administration forces Former Governor's Son Dies.

UCILLE QUARRY MANN, wife of the director of the Zoo, authoress of certain small, clear books on tropical fish and ani- mals, has finally found a wild animal with a fine disposition. Many and various are the sick and the young creatures that she has nursed in her home during the last few years, but the most lovable, the most charm- ing is Ginger, the serval cat. Ginger and Cinnamon, both servals, came from Swaziland in British South Africa last October. Benjamin Lepow brought them over for President Roosevelt, The 47-day trip and their diet of cornmeal mush and whisky had so depleted them that Dr. Mann took them straightway to his apart- ment. They were so exhausted that the mere effort of lapping up milk was too much for them. So Mrs. Mann turned over one of the bath rooms to them and regularly, gently started to build them up. There are two bath rooms in the apartment and with one devoted to the cats, plus the front living room, there wasn't much extra space. Three days later a girl with a deep Southern accent telephoned Dr. Mann and asked if she could bring an ali- gator as a present to the Zoo. Dr. Mann, thinking it was one of those small ones tourists buy in Florida, said, “Certainly.” In a few minutes the girl arrived, bearing in her arms a creature 3 feet long, dressed in a yellow and blue blazer, with a collar around his neck. His name, sald the girl, was Charlie Shirttail, and | he was the mascot of the Florida foot ball team. Charlie had been a big shot with the team until they had been trounced in Washington. Then they had fled, leaving a half frozen aligator and this girl, who described herself as their sponsor. When Charlie arrived Mrs. Mann put her foot dewn. “He cannot go in the remaining bath room,” she said, so Dr. Mann tied him to a table in ihe living room. All was fine for a few hours. Then Charlie began to thaw out. As he thawed, his pla- cidity left him and every time any one walked past the table he would rush out and bite ankles. Again | Mrs. Mann took a firm stand. Sh> | decided that the alligator should | straightway go to the Zoo “or else,” 5o the alligator went. For the next two months Cinnamon | and Ginger lived in the Mann home. With adequate food and doses of viosterol Cinnamon became strong. His legs straightened and his muscles | began to ripple, so Dr. Mann put him in a good cage in the Zoo. Ginger, however, had a very wobbly hind leg. The veterinarian thought he had slipped his knee cap. Now it is nearly six months since Ginger has been there. Both of his hind legs are partially paralyzed, but like the sick child in the story books, his disposition is heavenly. He is always happy, especially when Mrs. Mann massages his hind legs. This she does daily to start circulation. He plays all over the bath room and romps over the zebra skin rug and the Navajo in the living room. When e first came he wrought havoc with these carpets, but now he has learned to sheathe his claws.

Whether he will regain the use of his hind legs is problematical. Mr. Blackburn, the head keeper, thinks that when the weather is warm again and Mrs. Mann can take him out of doors the soft ground will give ‘)\\—"_//," aster ccessories STAR, WASHINGTON, him confidence and he may starf to use those legs. Plans for the Zoo are booming. Every day at 12:30 Dr. Mann has his lunch at the Zoo restaurant, where he entertains prospective architects, Gov- ernment officials, artists, writers and animal lovers. The food is good and his conversation smacks of veldts, timber lines and a tasty humor. s Culture of Norway Praised.
