P labeled must by the administration and h host of other hills demanded by various members, the Seventy third congress closed Its second session. The measures passed during this session Include some of the basic laws of the New Deal and considerable elaboration and modification of laws passed lat year in addition to the regular appropriation bills and a normal amount of necessary routine legislation. As in the first session, President Roosevelt was In full control, though the legislators displayed a more critical attitude and a tendency to give proposed legislation closer scrutiny before giving It their approval. 'I his could not be attributed to a lessening of the President's Influence or of the confidence In him, hut rather to the fact that the members of congress didn't wish longer to be labeled as yes men. On the whole Mr. Roose-Tel-t succeeded In getting what he and In preventing what he did not want. Several measures that hail the hacking of the administration failed of passage. These Included the oil hill, ardently desired by Secretary Ickes; the pure food and drug bill, which neer came to a vote; the ratification of the St. Lawrence waterway treaty; and a series of amendments amplifying and clarifying the powers of the AAA. In its closing hours the congress spent money like water. Indulging In what Congressman Britten of Chicago called an orgy of spending such as never has been known In the history of the world during peace times. The last of the major bills disposed of were: The deficiency appropriation hill, allotting the President more than two billion three hundred million dollars for relief and other emergency purposes. The one billion dollar housing bill to promote the revival of the building trades and of the durable goods Industries. The Frazier bill for relief of farm mortgagors. The bill amending banking legislation. The railway labor bill. president of Federation of succeeded where President Roosevelt, Administrator Johnson and all others had failed. He appeared before the delegates of the steel workers unions at Pittsburgh and persuaded them at least to pos tpone their threatened strike. The plan which lie offered, and which may lead to a permanent settlement of the controversy, In brief provides : Establishment of a three-maboard by the President to adjudicate and mediate all violations of code on matters of discrimination against employees. To Insure the right of workers to organize, empowering the board to hold and supervise Industrial elections for collective bargaining representatives. All grievances or complaints would be referred to the board for final decision. If acceptable to labor, capital, and the federal government, the strike would be called off permanently. Leaders of the "rank and file Steel Earl J. workers, Including Forbeck and other chiefs of local unions, were especially bitter In their attitude toward General Johnson, and were still eager for a strike, but they were outnumbered and tne Green plan was adopted as a basis for further negotiations. The union leaders went to Washington for a final decision. They carried authority to call thp strike If the peace plan were rejected h.v the government or the steel operators. WILLIAM GIUCEN, Iai-bo- r, A formal letter, accompanied by long explanation, the code authority of the cleaners and dyers has notified the President that It has withdrawn Its consent to the code. The reason assigned for this action Is that Administrator Johnson, acting by authority of the President, suspended the minimum price and other fair trade practice provisions of the code while leaving In effect all other provisions. Including those establishing minimum wages and maximum hours of labor. The cleaners and dyers say that with operating costs greatly Increased by the labor provisions It Is Impossible to make a profit unless a minimum price Is established and enforced. In its appended explanation the code authority challenged the validity of this action by General Johnson, con- IN tinuing : We cannot believe that yon would knowingly countenance a reckless disregard of repeated promises and assurances given to authorized representatives of the trade by the administrator personally within two weeks of the date on which he played a major roe Jn their breach. r'MIANCLI.LOR The code was consented to, says the memorandum, "on the express understanding" that the minimum price and other trade practice provisions were absolutely necessary If members of the trade were to comply with other provisions of thp code, Including the limitations on maximum hours The and minimum wages of labor. suspension of the minimum price proa deprivation vision Is pronounced of the primary benefit of tin code to Members of the trade, leaving them only the burdens. The memorandum states that 07 per cent of the 1 . x plant owners and 75 J H) to 2imi,(M) retail shops are able and willing to comply with the price and other trade practice provisions If there Is reasonable on the part of the government In enforcing compliance on the other 3 per cent. There Is virtually complete compliance In U!2 of the 312 districts." In conclusion the memorandum takes this wallop at Administrator Johnson : "We are equally confident, however, that confidence In a program, no matter how meritorious, cannot long he maintained when its administration Is Intrusted to an agent who makes so little of the elementary requirements of good faith and who Is oblivious to the hardship and suffering his conduct Is causing to thousands of loyal and law abiding citizens of this 1 K OF WAR HERN and Roosevelt have received a unanimous report from a house investigating committee demanding that Maj.

The report aeeused the general of "dishonesty, misconduct, " gross "inacIneficieney, unreliabilcuracy, ity, incompetency, and mismanage-ment.- " SECRETARY After praising the young men" who fly army planes under Foulols direction, the report concluded : We find It necessary to report that we are most (irmly convinced, from the evidence and records submitted, that before any substantial progress In the upbuilding of the morale and materiel of the army air corps enn be I). attained, Maj. Gen. Benjamin Foulols must be relieved from his position as chief of the air corps. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT went up to New Haven, (Nuin., for the Yale commencement and was presented with the highest honor the university cun bestow, the degree of doctor of laws. After the ceremony lie attended a luncheon of alumni and took occasion to challenge the critics of his New Deal and especially those who make fun of the brain trust." It Is true, he told his hearers, and there was obvious In his voice a note of defiance, that today, more than ever before In our public life, we are calling on the teaching profession for assistance In our government There have been certain ribald comments and some laughter about the use of brains In the nntional government, but It seems to me a pretty good practice. "It Is a practice that will continue, he added firmly. And the professors around him started the vigorous applause which followed. Later on be evoked further applause when he said; I couldnt tell you the party affiliations of the majority of people holding responsible positions in Washington, and It is a mighty good thing I cannot.

In tiie Ape of Billions Old Bill Did Not Know More Land? What For? The potato flea beetle Is a tiny, plump, shiny black insect about as long as the diameter of the lead In a pencil and slightly narrower In width. The presence of flea beetles may be easily detected by the peculiar perforated appearance of the Injured foliage. In cases of serious damage to leaves by this pest, says a writer In the Wisconsin Agriculturist, the leaves look as If they had been riddled by shot. The beetle hops like a flea which gives It Its name. During the warm (lavs of June and July Is ttie time to wufc'h for this pest and use the sprays and dusts best suited for Its control. Flea beetles feed on a large variety of plants, but are most troublesome on cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants, radishes, and cabbage, and are believed to be responsible for the spread of certain diseases. In July or August a second brood may play havoc with potatoes, tomatoes, and egg plants. Fortunately flea beetles dislike leaf surfaces covered with any foreign material, such as sprays or dusts; and If treatments are made before serious Injury occurs and If the leaf surfaces are thoroughly coated, the insects are easily held In check. Since the adults appear suddenly and work fast. It is important to keep a close watch on the field or garden to de-- ' tect the first signs of Invasion. Calcium arsenate In bordeaux mixture is regarded as the safest and most effective spray, while tobacco dust with lime of a calcium arsenate and monohjdrated copper sulfate dust with lime nre recommended among the dust preparations.

We have no dictator in the United States, and shall not have one unless something strange and unusual happens, but the President has as much of a dictator's power as he chooses to use. Congress, with unimportant exceptions, obeyed orders while In session, and the country will look to the President now to Initiate ami put through whatever he chooses. That situation probably does not suit him. It involves great responsibility. "Old Bill, dead in London, was a carrier pigeon.

Leaf Hopper Is Blamed for Stunting Alfalfa The yellowing and stunting of the second growth of alfalfa so prevalent last year was not due to "sun burn" ns commonly anticipated but to an Insect foe of alfalfa, according to L. F. Graher, University of Wisconsin authority on alfalfa. This Insect, the leaf hopper," said timber, "Is a tiny hut potent foe of alfalfa, enuslng stunting and marked yellowing of the second growth, yet Infestations arid Injury are easily controlled. Our findings have definitely shown that the simple expedient of delayed cutting of the first crop Is the effective remedy. It Is hard to believe but nevertheless true that a matter of deferring cutting of the first growth from six to twdva days will Increase the seasonal yields by as much as a ton per acre because It reduces the number of that will appear in the next growth, Graher asserted. Leafhoppers do not appear In the first growth until spring and by de ferring the cutting until about the end of June the Insect will lay the bulk of its eggs In the first growth so that they may he removed In and with the liny.

The British will not give up any territory If they can hold on to it, which they can easily do in this case. And apart from that, what good would It do us to ncquire more territory and have some foolish congressman Insist on giving It away? We could not possibly get from the British anything as valuable as the Philippines, and we are doing our best to get rid of them at this moment.
