CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed Belief As this column is being written the House and Senate wings of the Capitol are in the throes of feverish activity. The fiscal year ends at midnight tonight. So far the General Relief Appropriation Bill for the next fiscal year has not been finally agreed to by both Houses. This measure must become law by midnight if there is to be no interruption in the flow tf relief funds. It is anticipated that the ^Conference Report ^which will probably finally be agreed upon by both Houses will provide as follower A total appropriation of $1,755,600,-3 000; of this amount the funds will probably be divided as follows: The Works Progress Administration will get $1,477,000,000, the National Youth's Administration will get $100,- 000,000 and Farm Tenancy $143,000,-. 000. The bill wjll also provide for a jungle WPA administrator iristead of the three-man board originally demanded by the House and the Federal Theatre Project will be abolished. The $125,000,000 which the House set aside for PWA will probably be withdrawn and the bill will in all probability limit federal contributions on non-federal WPA projects to $52,000, which will be a compromise between the House figure of $40,000 and the Senate figure of $75,000. The bill will probably further provide that WiPA clients who have been on relief rolls eighteen months must spend a thirty- day holiday instead of the sixtyday holiday a* was originally approved by the House. Dollar Devaluation Anohter bill which the Administration is using every possible effort to secure its enactment into law before the midnight deadline is the Monetary Bill, which continues the authority of the President to devalue the dollar. Unless this bill is enacted into law before the first day of July, the President's power to devalue the dollar will expire. The bill as passed by the House continued this power for two years and also extended the life of the stabilisation fund. When the bill reached the senate, however, that body eliminated the section which extended the President's devaluation power and also struck the section which permitted the buying of foreign silver. The bill was sent to a conference between the two Houses and as a result of terrific pressure from the White House, and over the objection of Republican conferees (one of which was) the writer) a conference report was. approved by a conference majority (the Republican members of the conference t refused to sign the report), which provides as follows:- 1. It extends the life of the stabilization fund. 2. It extends the President's power to devalue the dollar. 3. It permits the purchase of foreign silver. 4, It establish^ a ppce .of seventy cents an ouruM for domestic silver to be purchased by the Treasury. While it is expected that -the eonference report will be approved by the House it may run into a very prolonged debate in the Senate. We won't be surprised if it fails to secure Senate approval by the 12 o'clock midnight deadline. Investigation of the N. L. R. B. It is reported that some time today the House Rules Committee will report out a Resolution providing for an investigation of the National Labor Relations Board. If so, the Resolution will probably come before the House for approval next week and will undoubtely receive favorable action. Don't be surprised if you hear that the House Committee on Labor has Changed its attitude and has decided to submit a bill providing for amendments to the NLRB in the very near future. Every possible effort will be made to stave off the investigation of the NLRB. Everybody knows that the "powers that be" can't afford to have the "searchlight" thrown on the Labor Board and its practices.

New Bar at BiJI Mertes' Newly Remodeled Oak Park Tap Room HAMMOND,. IND.--For the .first time in 23 years, a father and a daughter are talking to each other: with the aid of radio amateurs in Hammond, Ind., and Los Angeles. It was only recently that Walter Baden of Hammond found the daughter who was taken from hint by his wife at the time of their di* vorce nearly a quarter of a century ago. She is Mrs. Olive Carolyn Klar of Los Angeles; widowed mother of a four-year-old child. But neither she nor Baden had enough money to go to the other. V. L. Harnack of Hammond, operator of amateur radio station W9- LMO, and Ashby Stratton of Los Angeles, station W6TMX, arranged for two-way conversation. When the first talk was arranged, Baden approached the mike in Harnack's home tremblingly. He heard the faint words: "Hello, daddyr can't you hear me? This is Olive." All the things Baden had planned to say fled from his mind. Tearfully, he cried: "Olive." "It's--it's nice weather out here,'* Olive said. Then suddenly she burst out: "Oh, daddy, why can't we see each other? I'm so poor I had to borrow six cents for an airmail stamp to mail you a letter." "We'll see each other soon," Baden promised her. "I'll find the money some way. We'll talk again soon. I'm sure." And he wasn't mistaken, for Har* nack and Stratton have arranged for other conversations between the father and his long-lost daughter until the time when they can be reunited-- in person.

Washington Indians Declare Cobra Always Verifies Its Kill BEDAGAMA, CEYLON.--A cobra attended the inquest here of a man it had bitten, at least that is what natives believe. While walking home one evening the man accidentally trod on the snake, which bit him. He ran the rest of the way home, about a quarter of a mile, and there collapsed and died. During the inquest, which was held in the house the following evening, a cobra was noticed crawling about outside. Villagers caught it and showed it to the coroner, saying that it was the same one that had killed the man. They explained that an injured cobra will often not be content with biting the person who injures it, but will follow him about afterward If he escapes the first time, it will lie in wait and attack him again.
