Silver ! - Our ; f Washington Letter " -By- National Editorial Association Washington, Jan. 30--There are at least a dozen or more men and women having a hobby, the gratification of which requires them to attend all public hearings of the Senate and House comir.ittees. If the average citizen had the inclination and the time to accompany these folks, he would probably obtain a birds-eye view of what is going on^in Washington. It is true that most of the testimony, especially on technical questions, is usually beyond the comprehension of the little old ladies, sometimes knit, but always listen. The views of all organized groups in regard to pending legislation are presented at these committee hearings. The more important work of revising proposed measures and debating the implications of the printed testimony is transacted behind closed doors. The public is mislead in the belief that oratory on the Senate JUM! House floor desides the ' fate ,of . yaricus measures. • If you joined the ranks of this s£tfappointed audience this week on a tour of committee hearings, you would find growing sentiment In the Senate against the bestowal not only of additional executive power, but also of legislative powers to the President. Many Senators feel that the House in passing the four billion dollar relief bill practically gave the Chief Executive a blank check. Therefore, the Senate has under preparation amendments to curb the delegating of a distinctly congressional authority to Mr. Roosevelt. There are a number of other amendments which may find their way in the final Senate draft, such as, a restriction of the Federal enormous public works program and limiting the wages paid on' government projects to prevailing wages as a means of protecting the labor supply of farmers. The only knowledge that Congress has as to how this four billion will be spent is a tip m the special message to Congress transmitting the reports of the National Resources Board. The President said, "A substantial portion of this sum will be used for objectives subjected in this report." " There is some talk on Capitol Hill about the necessity for plugging loopholes in relief administration. The charge has been laid at the door of the Post Office Department that they are deliberately encouraging petty graft at the expense of taxpayers by: refusing to co-operate with local relief committees. By checking with banks and loan associations it has been possible for relief administrators to determine whether applicants for funds and food are actually in need or just chiseling. The drawback to fair enforcement is credited to the unwillingness of the "Post Office department to reveal information as to the amount of money deposited in postal savings accounts by certain individuals applying for relief funds. cLocal agencies claim that if the Federal government would abide by the practices required of private banks it would be an easy matter to separate the grafting element from the picture. There have been innumerable cases reported where foreigners, for instance, known to have accounts in the postal savings were receiving weekly relief/to which they were not entitled. The Postal Saving? gained by leaps and bounds after the bank failure in March, 1933,- so that today "tnore than one and one-quarter billions is the ^um on deposit for 2,- 562,082 depositors. At least four " committees of the Senate and House are devoting their attention to matters dealing with militarism and pacificism. A special Senate Committee is continuing the probing of the muntions industries. It has now branched out into an inquiry about war-time shipping. government's competition with pri- j Skeletons are now drawn out of povate enterprise in carrying out this . litical -closets. The House Military Affairs Committee » studying the momentous question, "how to take "the profit out of war." While these committees are ostensibly bending their efforts towards a national peace policy, the powerful Army and . Navy groups are demand iirg at least a billion dollars from the public works funds for equipment.» A large portion of which will be supplied by domestic munitions manufacturers now on the Congressional gridiron. There* is no easy sailing for the Military and Naval area of the government. It is not surprising to keen observers to note that the World Court issue was not a subject for prolonged debate in the Senate, Somehow, the dynamic Senator Hiram Johnson of California, a surviving member of the "irreconcilable" group of Senators opposed to foreign entanglements during the Wilson administration, j could not arouse the public interest at this time. The explanation is that i attention wanes when more urgent domestic matters are absorbing the time of the general public and war days are forgotten. The current rumors that there will be wholesale reductions in personnel of the New Deal alphabetical agencies ha? given new life - to the various Democratic legislators organizing a rebellion against the Farley patronage policies. Panic-stricken job-holders. who fear the ax<\ are overwhelming their state's Congressoina! delegation with demands! for protection. At the same time, party workers back home who have become disgruntled at their failure to obtain places on the Federal payroll are raising a rumpus. The net result is that the Democratic lawmakers find themselves in a quandary: and blame Farley ' for plight. - SHERIFF INVESTIGATES THIES STORE ROBBERY The -McHenry county sheriff, Henry :; > Nulle, conducted an investigation last Thursday concerning the robbery r \ at the J.

IMs MotoM You can't hoar carbon knocks as easily today. Modern gasolines muffle the sound, but carbon piles up just the same. 4 Years ago, you had carbon removed whenever you heard it. Today, mechanics estimate 92% of all cars have enough carbon to cause" serious loss of power. Then why doesn't someone do something about it? Your Skelly Man is doing that now. In his pumps is new Tailor- Made Aromax, containing Solvent K-27. This new solvent sends gum and carbon harmlessly out the exhaust. Carbon Whipped At Last Test car runs prove that K-27 whips carbon. Even with especially made test gasolines, heavy with carbon and gum, K-27 kept these trouble makers from depositing, sent them harmlessly out the exhaust. Truck and bus fleets get the hardest use. Carbon deposits easiest under overloaded conditions. But truck and bus fleet overhaul and carbon grinding costs have been cut in halTwith thip^ new-type gas-, oline. ^ Exclusive With SkeUy Skelly Aromax continues to be Tailor-Made to your starting and driving conditions. At zero, it starts in 3Vfc revolutions, while most gasolines need from 6 to 13, and many as high as 30 and 40. ^ Just as Tailor-Making is an exclusive Skelly advantage, so Solvent K-27 can be secured only in Skelly Aromax and Aromax Ethyl because it ' is protected by U. S. Patent Pending. You get BOTH these advantages without extra cost: Faster start by Tailor-Making; cleaner motor with Solvent K-27. Begin enjoying these extra advantages today, in both Aromax and Aromax Ethyl. * FARMERS ATTEND MEETING Clinton Martin, Matt Schnritt and _ _ K. E.
