The Administration has dropped its original bill which would provide for a "Packingtfe'of the Court with six new Justices immediately and has substituted in its place, a proposal which would enable the President to appoint one additional Justice a year for each Justice in the Court who is over seventy-five years of age. This new proposal seeks the same objective as its predecessor, naimely, "Control of the Supreme Court of the United States." A review of the first two days procedure, however, reveals that the Administration's proponents of the measure have talked about everything but the bill itself. Senator Robinson, who, by the way, is a candidate for one of the positions on the Court that the bill would create, spoke for three hours on the subject of Filibusters. The Senator feels that Filibusters are nasty things. Sometimes they are, but when the future democracy of a nation is at stake, the end justifies the means. Senator Hatch, who signed the Senate Judiciary Committee Report condemning the original "packing" bill, tried to explain why he has wade an "about face" and is now supporting his socalled compromise. Then Senator Logan told the Senators that all good Injuns should support the "Great White Father" in anything that his heart might desire. Later Senator Guffey made Ja vicious personal attack on the present Court Members, who, of course, were not present and 'could not defend themselves. The Senator came hurriedly out of his corner, swinging wildly, but when Sena- 8 tors Wheeler and Burke started throwing counter punches, he demonstrated that he had no liking for verbal left and right jabs and soon covered up, retired to his corner and was groggy at the bell. Slo far the proponents of the bill have advanced no argument that would convince a fourth grade school child that the measure is justified. Wage and Hour Bill in Doubt Speculation is rife as to what the fate of the Black-Connery Wage and Hour Bill, which is now pending before the Labor Committees of the House and Senate, will be. Hearings | on the measure were concluded several weeks ago. lit is reported that considerable opposition a3 to the bill as originally introduced, has developed in both the Senate and House Comjnittees. There are rumor® that the bill will be shelved until the next session. Most of the opposition - sefems to> be directed against the centering of too much power in one Board, such as was proposed under the Black-Connery Bill as originally introduced. It is reported that both employers and labor unions are against the bill in its'1 original form. Both believe that many changes are necessary. A New Farm Bill Congressman Jones, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture, .recently announced that he would soon present a new Farm Bil! to Congress, which will probably be based on the idee of the present soil conservation set-up. Indications point that the new program will apply to all farm production, that some sort of an ever normal granary plan will be provided for nonperishables and that payments will probably be based on tilled acreage: that stfme sort of marketing control will be sought and that the benefits will be limited to farmers who comply with the program as a whole. The fate of the new bill will depend upon the opposition which it may develop and upon the length of the Session of Congress. It appears thdt it will not ,he possible for proponents to rosh itj through in a hurry.

Ships, flowers, trees, clouds, locomotives, colonial architecture, historical monuments, gargoyles, machinery, babies, horses, dogs, pats, birds, insects are only a few Subjects which have their devotees fus special picture hebbles. Enthusiasm for photography combines with the collector's instinct, resulting in bums of photographs of the chosen bject that are a source of pride, leasure and instruction. In addition to the enjoyment of aking the photographs, the value a special picture hobby Is that usually leads to an accumulation >f knowledge about the subject that s educational and broadening. If e photographer starts making pic* ;ures of flowers, he soon discovers at there are many things about jflowers that he never knew before. ' jHe is likely to become quite a bot- •jlflnist.

He photographs them on the spot and caprtures them to take home for Indoor ,Shots. He has become an amateur entomologist. Now he really knows ;»bout "bees' ,knees," "butterflies' eyebrows" and how many legs a caterpillar has. He finds that photo* graphing Insects in the open fields, garden or woods, Is really a sport. Some kinds you can stalk success* fully but he tells you that, more often than you would suppose, yott have success by lying in wait for an inseot to com© within lens rangO-^- and pose itself on flower, leaf or, twig on which you have focused. If you locate yourself In a place where there are plenty of them, it won't be long before one of the multitude hops or flies into position In front of your waiting lens. Of course, if-- you do not have a close-focusing bellows camera, you should use a pop* trait attachment in order to get a large image, and in either case yoi will usually need to have an enlarge-5 ment made from the important parrot the negative.
