D.). Even if we suppose that the instrument was a lyre instead of a violin (or a lute, as Shakespeare wrote; in Henry VI), it is absurd to believe that Nero was playing on it and singing. Furthermore, we have the authoritative statement of Tacitus, the noted Roman historian, that Nero was 50 miles from Rome, at his villa at Antium, when the great fire was raging. Many writers believe that Nero himself planned and sponsored the burning of Rome, in order to rebuild it. This would be hard to prove--and probably harder to disprove. v?* » WNU Service. - Our Washington Letter QABBY QERTIE Washington, October 26--Reminis cent of the troublesome code days are the hectic scenes enacted at the Labor Department this week where thousands are clamoring for rulings as to the status of various classes of employees and industries. The {jair Labor Standards Act of 1938, nxilig minimum wages and maximum hdurs of work for millions, became effective Monday. Harassed and overworked Administrator Andrews is begging his questioners to be patient, and, in turn, promises no immediate "crack-down" of Federal power on compliance. In« dustries generally are expected ; to comply with the new law of the land until many vague and disputed points can be clarified by interpretation or by the courts. - The government is hopeful legal cases may be restricted until the inherent difficulties are ironed out. In sharp ' contrast with the turbulent scenes of NRA -days, the city is relatively- free from incoming delegations of business leaders called to the capit ol to set up codes. The new statute is not as far-reaching and Is based on a blue print which differs materially from the Blue Eagle design. The objectives of providing more income and better working conditions through shorter hours are identical. It is an easy conclusion that the Act will be amended at the next session to strengthen the administrative provisions. In addition, it is proposed to reach into states by a series of interstate compacts patterned after the Federal statute to lessen the competitive advantages of a business operating solely within a commonwealth as against neighbors who may be shipping their products across state lines in small quantities. After all the Act was designed to make the employee the real agency of enfdrcement whenever he or she feels the boss is dodging the law by short-changing the pay •envelope. Down at the Department of Agriculture they are quietly preparing for siege. The dopesters say that Congress will probably demand an investigation of the department's methods because of the widespread feeling among the farmers that the much-publicized farm program was not as good as tooted. If some of the Congressional candidates actually keep the pledges "Now-a-days a girl can't leave her vlothes lying all over the house unless she lives in a one-room apartment." POTPOURRI ' Man Made Port A vast system of man made locks which hold 30 feet of tide water in the "front yard" of Liverpool, make that city a famous port. When high tide water comes into the Mersey river, the boats come with it. The looks are closed and the ships are secure because the locks maintain a constant level. • Western Newspaper Union c5My Gt^ighbor A good falling for a one-crust pie is grated pineapple thickened with cornstarch. • v • • When preparing a meat loaf, have a slice or two of liver ground with the meat.

MODERN AND SMART they are making so glibly in the election contests the fur will fly in an attempt at house-cleaning under Capitol Hill pressure. The workers on farms are disgruntled as the Department's figures show the monthly wage rates for farm help declined during the last three months. Buried in the latest official price report was the statistician's comment that the purchasing power of farm products "is not so favorable to farmers as it was a year ago." That is the nub of the political complaint and probable vote-switching in rural areas. While the Administration was successful in staving off a Congressional investigation of the Federal Communications System, the snarls encountered in having the Commission probe itself have disclosed peculiar situations. The Commission has underway a thorough study of broadcasting ais part of the nation-wide inquiry by the temporary National Econonrtc Commission. Several legislators who resent the intervention of White House pressure sidetracking a legislative investigation have openly stated their intention of bringing th£ controversy out into the open at the next Congressional session. The F. C. C. has broad powers over this newest method of communication because broadcasters operate under Federal franchise which makes them more amenable to political ihfluence than other media. A. small but militant group of law-makers want to see whether there are skeletons in the closet at F.C.C. Talk of the town: What effect the numerous and scattered grand jury indictments of political leaders for alleged relief frauds will have on the elections; the belief that Congressional committees on Privileges and Elections will be obliged to hold deodorizing sessions to justify seating several contestants for high office as reports trickle into town aboutf election methods having a bad smell either by excessive use of money or other means of persuasion; whether the militant Representative Patman of Texas can be hobbled to let the contemporary National Economic Commission Investigate and report on the effects of chain stores rather than to put them out of business as he proposes; that the scope of the Administration proposals for extending the benefits of the Social Security Act will be modified if the $30 each Thursday plan of pensions is defeated in the California tests next month; that the organized farm groups will have something co yell about when the reciprocal trade treaty with Great Britain is trotted out from the vaults after the elections.
