Washington Washington, July 12--Attention in c»ngress on "amending the Wagner 'Labor Relations Act has shifted suddenly back to the House of Representatives. There the Labor Committee is holding hearings on amendsimilar to those pending in the te before the Committee on Edu-1 and Labor. But more import-' at the moment is impending ac-j on a resolution introduced by Rep-; resentative Smith, Democrat of Vir- j :ginia, to investigate the National Labor Relations Board that adminis- •" ' ters the Act. Floor action on that resolution is pending. Providing for >a five-man Special Committee, the " " -, resolution has a 50-60 chance of pas- ^ sage. If it does pass, it is considered v likely that its Chairman will be Rep- . , resentative Smith.

WALSH Phone 43 Rapraasnting THE TRAVELERS, Hwdwd ing in recent days to bring about agr eement on a bill that. could be rushed to enactment before adjournment. Conferences have been held almost daily" between farm group spokesmen and those at the Capitol endeavoring to get the wage-hour law amended at this session. The story most generally accepted is that there is now agreement on the main points of a new bill; that minor points will be ironed out within the next few days, and t"|it the Rules Committee will be asked to grant it right-of-way on the House floor under a closed rule* Such a rule would preclude possibility of «^ny amendment to the bi.ll The Department of Commerce, Which proved to be a stepping stone to the White House for the Iowa born Herbert Hoover, is to be revitalized by Hflggr Hopkins, another native son of that commonwealth who recently has reestablished residence there. Mr. Hopkins proposes to surround himself with a corps of highly trained specialists. These men may be given the title of executive assistants. Each would possess special knowledge of a given subject. The range of these subjects would embrace many activities of the government. As Capitol Hill has heard of this program it would provide for a specialist on such subjects as communications, power, taxation, labor, agriculture, transportation and the like. At the same time the department under Hopkins' guidance is working on the proposed Bureau of Industrial Economics recommended by the President. As this is being developed the Department also is seeking to adjust the activities of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce which under the now operative reorganization order has been divided. The Foreign Commerce at.- tivities are being shifted to the State Department while the Domestic Commerce work will continue in the Commerce Department.

Jhe survey, made by the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce, also reveals that tax ex emptions and delinquencies were subjects of particular prominence, and that use taxes to supplement sales taxes, and extension of various tax levies originally enacted as temporary measures, were also notable. Included in the field of business taxes enacted were these: Chain store taxes, five states; incorporation fees and initial taxes, four states; business and occupational license taxes and inspection fees, twenty-three states; and public utilities taxes, six states. Twelve states enacted legislation to tax banks and insurance companies. Wide difference cf opinion exists in the ranks of government economists over "the "business outlook *|or the Summer and Fall months. The majority are optimistic, however. But even then, there is disagreement over the degree of optimism. Some believe the trend points sharply upward. Others believe it is only a gradual climb. The pessimistic minority believe the other group is taking the European situation too lightly; also, they believe too little attention is being given the strike-talk of labor unions. However, with actual June figures not yet available, the optimistic experts are pointing to early June activity as indicative of a strong business picture for that month. For instance, industrial production which has been receding on a seasonally adjusted basis from January to April (and was little changed in May) showed considerable increase early in June. The advance reflected principally larger output of steel and coal, which had previously shown considerable declines. On the strength of this, the Federal Reserve Board economists have estimated June production at 98, compared* with an actual 92 in May. 200.00 420.00 800.00 120.00 120.00 The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has again postponed hearings on the Administration sponsored neutrality program. The Committee met on July 5 but adjourned until July 8 without any discussion of the bill. It is expected that when the Committee convenes again on the eighth it will take up the controversial Bloom Bill which was passed by the House after that body had adopted an amendment providing for an embargo on arms and ammunition. It is reported that the White House, furious at the action of the House in adopting the arms embargo provision, will make every effort to secure Senate approval of a bill eliminating this embargo, section arid then, by applying the "heat" will attempt to force the House to agree to such Senate action. The adoption of the embargo section puts a crimp, in the ambitions of certain individuals who desire to "sit in" on the' "power parleys" around the European1 chessboard; The school of thought i .which advances the argument that this1 nation must "sit in" on Europe's powj: wows loses sight of the fact that when! over Uncle Sam has drawn some. other nations chestnuts out of the fire he has always ended up with scorched fingers while the owner of the chestnuts has looked on with gleeful approval and then walked away with the "haul," and without even a "Thank You" for Uncle. Before we go sentimental over Europe's problems let us not forget the "Unknown Soldiei," "The Gold Star Mothers," "The American Army's cemeteries in France," »nd "Our Veterans Administration Facilities filled with wrecked and maimed mer#" Let us remember that no more American blood shall go to flow on European battlefields in settling Europe's difficulties. Our place and our interests are on this side of the Atlantic. American mothers are not raising' sons to be slaughtered in blooming manhood on foreign battlefield^ settling Europe's century old questions of national boundaries and financial and commercial powers. Let us have friendship for all nations, but entangling alliances with none. Just a Few BilKou More It is rumored that the President is insistent that Congress enact legislation at this session to carry out his new three billion 860 million dollar lending-spending pump priming program. As yet no bill to carry out the program has been introduced but it is expected that one will make its appearance within a few days. It rs reported that the President's program will • call for an expenditure of three billion sixty million dollars for srecalled self-liquidating projects, while 800 million more would be given to the United States Housing Authority Speculation is rife as to just how much of the new program would be "selfliquidating." If past performances mean anything it seems reasonable to assume that self-liquidating projects would have a very low batting average. It is .interesting to note that one of the reports states that the program will call for an expenditure of five hundred million dollars to be loan ed to foreign governments. Apparently it is the President's theory that good old Uncle Sam should again the part of Santa Claus. From gossip it appears that even Democratic members who usually go along with the Administration on everything which it desires are closing their nostrils when the new program - is mentioned. The Administration may be able to use enough high pressure ' tactics to secure enactment of a part of the program but our guess that it is in for some very tough may live in a for a long time without being ^observed because they are nocin habit. ft R E D U C E 1 The Safe, Natural Way.
