Escorted by their two highest offi- | cers, Mrs, Russell William Magna, | president general, and Mrs. William A. Becker, president general-elect, the Daughters made a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon yesterday to lay wreaths | on the tombs of George and Martha Washington. This annual tribute to the first President and his wife is always one of the most impressive ceremonies of the entire Continental Congress. It was heightened yesterday by the fact it took place on Good Friday. In reverent silence women from every State in the Union watched | with intense interest the placing of | the wreath while all stood at salute. | Another pilgrimage was made to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington. Some of the women present were Gold Star mothers. Auld Grave Visited. Many also visited the grave of Lieut. Hugh Auld, a Revolutionary soldier of the Maryland line, whose remains were brought from the Eastern Store and reinterred in Arlington. Lieut.

By the Associated Press. A new attack against what critics call Government “intrusion in busi- ness” was predicted in official quar- | ters today as a probable outcome of | the convention of the Chamber of | Commerce of the United States, April 29 to May 2. A high official, who would not be quoted by name, said that although business has always opposed Govern- ment interference, many executives | feel currents now in motion fore- | shadow operations by the Federal | power far greater than ever before. An indication of the importance | of this topic was given in the cham- ber's Washington Review, published today. Curb to Be Planned. “One of the major concerns of | business today,” the Review said, “is the encroachment of Government into the business field as a competitor of private enterprise. “The actual intrusion that already has taken place and the threat of further activity of this character is one of the main causes of present business uncertainty. “The forthcoming meeting can be expected to define proper limitations upon government in business and to give occasion for renewed efforts to protect business against this kind of unfair competition.’ - The chamber's convention this year, the thirty-third annual meeting, is viewed as particularly important because of the legislation in Congress directly affecting business. New Difficulties Seen. “Much of the discussion” the ‘weekly review noted, “will center upon governmental policies and pending legislative proposals which look to modification of long established prin- ciples. “What effect consequent readjust- ments will have on our business structure, and to what extent the course of business must be altered to conform to them, will be considered. “Legislation now before Congress proposes changes in banking, public utilities, transportation, mining, ag- ricultural processing and the dis- tributive trades. Measures are under consideration which would produce new difficulties between employer and employe.” DUCKS CAUSE FLOOD Flock Rests on Stream, Which Overflows Banks. SPOKANE, Wash.

The project, according to Sabath. would be self-liquidating within 25 years on a 4 per cent interest and 4 per cent depreciation charge basis. ‘Aside from providing work, Sabath declared, such an arrangement “would iences to which members of Congress are subjected, especially at the begin ning of each session.” “These inconveniences,” he went on, “were particularly serious during the present session. Many weeks, even months, had passed before members were able to find half way decent quar- ters and at prices within their means.” Sabath maintains that the apart- ments could be rented from $80 to $100 & month, whereas some members >f Congress are now forced to pay from $125 to $250 a month for “old, dilapi- dated houses, situated a long way from the Capitol.” Marketed by “Wa! on’s First Fuel Oil Distributor” launch s three-year agricultural pro- duction plan. | vigilance,” the speaker said that the | newspaper is “affected with a public | | interest to a degree higher than is now being made at prevent the hardships and inconven- | j | any other institution short of gov- ernment itself.” Upholding the principle of freedom of the press, Sir Willmott predicted that so long as the press remembers its duties and obligations, it need never fear that the citizens of a democracy will desire to abridge its liberties.” The speaker took exception to what he described as a tendency in both | the United States and England, “with admirable exceptions.” to publish “absurd or sentimentalized features.” Raps Comic Strips.
