[ Sabotage” Effort iCharged in Pressing Walter-Logan Bill ! ‘Paid Lobbyist’ for | Measure for Appeal To Courts Denounced B the Associated Press, + Benator Mintgh, Democrat, of In- diona asserted in the Senate yes- tterday that a “paid lobbyizt for the INational Association of Manufac- ‘(urm" was seeking passage of the [po-called Walter-Logan bill in order %o “sabotage” indirectly work of ad- inistration agencies. * « The bill would facilitate appeals fo the courts from administrative | rulings of Government agencies. | Senator Minton made the asser- tion in reply to demands from Chairman Ashurst of the Judiciary Committee and other members that the Senate consider the: Walter- ogan measure, . Senator Ashurst ‘old the chamber that “silently and cretly” Government officials were working “undercover” in an effort to block consideration of the bill, Commenting that the “lobbyist” &or N. A. M. was “probably sitting in the gallery and listening now,” Sen- mtor Minton said the big trade asso- ciation had “inspired” letters to Songress members in support of the i1l 5 Barkley Shouts Deflance. 1\ Majority Leader Barkley, who as- Eerted that defense, relief and tax | imeasures were more important, and should Le considered first, told the | ‘Senate that he had received letters in support of the Walter-Logan bill khowing that proponents wanted to “hamstring” the National Labor Board, the Wage-Hour Administra- ‘tion and the Securities Commission. “If we are going to do that,” he | shouted, “we ought to have the ‘courage to do it by an act of Con- gress and not pass the buck to some court.” Senator Ashurst argued that the bill would merely give to a citizen injured by an administrative ruling the right to be heard in court. “Bureaus long drunk with ar- bitrary power,” he said, “refuse to have the cup of arbitrary power dashed from their lips.” Senator Barkley announced he would oppose an agreement proposed by Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada to take up the Walter-Logan bill after the Senate has disposed of a measure to authorize an 11 per cent increase in the Navy's fighting ships and a bill to put into effect on June 30 President Roosevelt's last three reorganization orders. “Insinuations” Denounced. Senator Barkley denied what he said were “insinuations” that there was an effort on the part of the lead- ership to prevent a vote on the ques- tion of taking up the bill. Senator Ashurst said he was not blaming Senator Barkley or any other Senator, adding: “I charge that those members of departments who have been issuing rulings in secret—ukases—they are the ones who are trying to prevent considera- tion of this bill.” Senator Ashurst asserted that he would vote against adjournment if denied an opportunity to vote on taking up the Walter-Logan bill. |Byrns Will Be Speaker At U. D. C. Ceremony Representative Byrns of Ten- nessee will speak at ceremonies commemorating the anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis, presi- dent of the Confederacy, at 11:30 am. tomorrow in Statuary Hall of the Capitol, under the auspices of the District Division, United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy.

Peter Pierre Smith, a Confederate veteran, and David Coulter, presi- dent of the Children’s Chapter, will | place a wreath on the statue of the | Confederate leader. | | Autopsy to Determine | If Bullet Caused Death An autopsy was to be performed | today to determine whether George | Haynes, 39, colored, 306 S - street S.W., died yesterday of a bullet fired into his abdomen 11 years ago. | He died in Gallinger Hospital of ‘an acute intestinal obstruction,” | 10 days after he was admitted for treatment. Doctors said it was highly possible a bullet fired in Mr. Haynes' body during a fight in 1929, according to police reports, might be the “obstruction.” Miss Elliott Ready to Start THE EVENING STAR,” WASHINGTON, D.

Artificial Wool and Silk Made From Soya Beans ‘Two Japanese chemists have ex- tracted from the soya bean a fiber that can be made into artificial wool or silkk and they point out that the manufacture of soya bean clothes will be the next step, it is reported &t Tokio. The inventors are of the opinion that the wool fibers can be manu- factured more cheaply than lanitol, the product which the Italians make out of milk. The particular step in their process which will interest all producers of artificial fiber is that of keeping the liquid fiber from changing its character and becom- ing jellied before it can be worked.

Miss Harriet Elliott, only woman | on the new National Defense Com- mission, has her summer reading cut out for her—it will be market reports and price lists. For Miss Elliott, dean of women | at the University of North Caro- lina, has been assigned the job of keeping an eye on the amount Mr. and Mrs. America must pay to eat| and live as the Nation turns to strengthening its ramparts. The work is going to interfere with her golf. “Oh, well,” she said, “I haven't had much time for golf anyway in the last few years.” Miss Elliott hopes to get in some swimming, however, for keeping fit | §s to her mind part of doing a job well. She is small of stature, with & quick, friendly smile—and no one would guess her to be 68 years old. When she came out of the com- mission’s first meeting at the White House yesterday, she frankly ad- mitted she didn't know at the mo- ment just how she would begin her new job. “I've got to think it through and work out a plam,” she explained. Her first step, though, will be to help her chart the zig-zags in !he‘ } price of butter, cabbages and socks. Miss Elliott has the air of a dean who could understand that some- a math class. She also gives the im. pression of being a confident execu: tive—one who years ago organized | the women of North Carolina to get out and get the vote. She long has been interested in welfare problems. She is president of the North Carolina Conference of Social Service and was formerly ac- tive in the State Relief Administra- tion. She sees in her new job an extension of these interests. “A nation’s strength is based on the well-being of its people, who should be well fed and well housed,” she said. A Quaker, she has worked for peace, and now she is “out to do all that I can” to help a leonl grow strong enough to be left at| peace. set up a bureau of statisticians to| times it might be important to cut| ! 1107 “F” STREET Stores Throughout NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, ILLINOIS | S e —— - 1| WHITE dexo __ CRAB MEAT " 35¢ 0 Bean STRINGLESS Tomatoes Pineapple Grapefrui TENDER, GREEN STANDARD QUALITY JUICE Dole or Del Monte JUICE AGP or Sundine M i I k WHITE HOUSE EVAPORATED Eight O'Clock FRESH CROAKERS b, FRESH JUMBO SHRIMP HADDOCK FILLETS No.2 can No.2 cans 18 oz. cans 4:n23¢ 6: 39¢ tail can COFFEE 1 Ib. bag 13¢ 1b. bag Heinz *» Foods 3 *22¢ HEINZ JUNIOR FOODS con 10c Asparagus ,\"&x SugarCorn 1Y = 2b¢ No.2 cans No.2 cans . 19¢ . 17¢ Ann Page Beans splfkl‘ Pur:’ErsEiE!lFEvon CALIFORNIA 45¢ Ib.
