Show Entertainment by 81st Congress Ranged From 1-Punch Fight to SenateDebate On Starlings By HARM. X W. NICHOLS , United Press SUff Correspondent . WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 OI.RJ j Congress has packed its ?" duffle' 5 and headed for home and it's a pity.. 7 The law-jivers took a lot of punishment, but they produced some pretty interesting copy. . For example, there was the time Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., of Ohio stood on the floor of the senate and defended the impolite starlings, which ' have ruined practically every buildir in town.'; ,. j Mess-re Killed V Ttiov cat mosauitoes. he said. - thereby killing a bill that would have made it legal to kiu a starling star-ling oh sight. It reminded veteran veter-an nf the ROth consress that no starling control bill was passed then, either, even though serious seri-ous little eastern scientist appear ed before a committee ana aavo-nt4 aavo-nt4 hirth-rontrol for starlings. His theory was that these birds don't have any sense. He said . that if you put pans of oil around where tne starlings roosi ana ! flak th nil with food, the mama bird will oil her .tail feathers and close the pores on the eggs when - - a . oh il she goes home to set. men me eggs won't natcn. The oleo tax repeal came up again. And once again Rep. Reid F. Murray, R, of Ogdensburg, Whv was in the thick of the Xlgm. inc Dill never u uuvu(u, but Reid created a stir when he , appeared before a committee to plead for the butter states which! don't think mucn of oieo. Goes Into Record Chinese children, he said in all sincerity, never get any butter to eat and they have' slant eyes. i "Do you want your children to srrow up with slant eyes?" he asked the committee. It all went into the record. Sen. Bill Langer, R., of North Dakota livened things in the 81st congress just the other dayv by breaking the rules. He complained of sore feet or something and started to give a speech sitting down. Senate Democratic Leader Scott W. Lucas of Illinois soon up-righted the gentleman from North Dakota. This same . Lucas got his dan-dar dan-dar up when he excused himself from an uncommonly I long night session and went to the senate restaurant for a snack. But the place was closed and he couldn't even find a candy bar. He made a little speech about it. 1 Out of Order Also in the senate, one of the members referred to a colleague as r'honest"! and was ruled out of order. The chair said If one senator was. called honest, that: was a reflection on the honesty of the rest of the membership. The house likewise had its moments. One day, a congressman congress-man suggested an investigation of Fort Knox "to see for sure if the gold is still there.'' He was set down proper by a colleague who thought this sort of thing should be followed ' y a sawing operation cutting the gold bars in two to make sure they aren't half lead. ' One day on the house floor, with the press gallery cleared, there was a Hollywoodlan one- punch fight. It was between aged ReD. Adolph J. Sabath, of Illinois, dean of the house, and Rep. E. E. Cox of Georgia. Nobody seems to know exactly what happened. Nobody No-body hit the deck, and, after it was all over, nobody was sore.

Oct. 22 (U.R) Science marked up another score Saturday in the development of a new welding process a technique tech-nique that permits pieces of metal to be fused without the use of heat, electricity or chemicals. The process, developed by British Brit-ish scientists, has been brought to the United States by William Dubilier, who already has won worldwide fame for his work in the development of the electric condenser, an achievement that has enabled man to have fast communication and cheap radio and television sets. Dubilier, founder and technical director of the Cornell-Dubilier Electric Corp., South Plainsfield, N. J., heads a new company the Koldwell Corporation which has purchased American rights for the new welding process. The company intends to license the new process to all of American industry, large or small. The new welding process, according ac-cording to, Dubilier, will revolutionize revolu-tionize industrial and job welding of many metals, especially aluminuma alumi-numa metal that is used on a wide-scale in the aviation industry. indus-try. Industry is expected to save tremendously through use oi the technique, which involves the use of comparatively cheap special tools that use pressure to weld rather than heat, 'electricity . or chemicals. Metals, as thin as foil to those heaviest elements, can be welded in a matter of seconds. Steel' Production Records Rolled Up In 10-Year Period Eleven years ago, if a forecaster had predicted that 800 million tons of steel would be made in the ten years of the 1940, his mental processes probably would nave been questioned, but his prediction would have been accurate,1 ac-curate,1 says American . Iron and Steel Institute in a review of the closing decade. Equally astonishing aston-ishing is the payment of nearly 17 billion dollars to employees in this period. In many other ways these ten years stand out as the greatest in the history of the steel industry. indus-try. , Passing through - rearmament, rearma-ment, war, reconversion and the postwar boom, the industry has met the varied demands despite manpower and materials shortages short-ages and strikes. The 800 million tons of raw steel made in the 1940s was more than twice the amount produced in the 1930s and 70 per cent above the output of the 1920s. In fact, the percentage gain of the '40s over the '30s was by far the greatest great-est of any decade this century. Largest bell in the world is that known as the Great Bell of Moscow, Mos-cow, which weighs 220 tons. 20-30 Club at Springville Puts 'Sallies' at Crossings SPRINGVILLE As their first official contribution to the community com-munity following organization and charter night, the Springville 20-30 club in cooperation with the Provo unit has jalaced Safety Sallies at street crossings near the schools of the city.

PRIDE OF BOSTON BOSTON (U.R) There's something some-thing new in Boston's skyline. The John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Insur-ance company has opened its new 26-story building in the Back Bay. Built at a cost of $20,000,000, it's the tallest skyscraper in New England. McFADDEN FOR COMMISSIONEft submits the following program pro-gram for the consideration of the voters of Provo City. I am an ardent supporter of our Power Plant and very much interested in its' future growth and success. I worked hard to help bring municipal power to Provo in 1935, acting act-ing as campaign manager for the ticket that won our power plant election. My belief be-lief today is, we should seek to pass onto, the citizens of the community whatever profits, earned by the city's public utilities system, can safely be distributed. Cheaper Culinary Water For Citizens I see no need of abundance of water that Provo Citizens today, and to my knowledge being sold to farmers out of the city at the rate of $3.50 per acre feet, when property owners are supporting a million mil-lion dollar revenue bond, are having to pay higher meter rates and our lawns suffering for the want of water. Mr.. Tax Payer, please ijote: Strawberry water users have paid and are still paying since 1912, $5.00 per acre feet. This has been called to the attention of our city commissioner com-missioner by your candidate months ago Therefore that statement above was his own commitment. City Rest Rooms I believe impetus should be given our much needed pub- . lie rest rooms which have been promised by past candidates can-didates but nothing has been done about it up to the pre sent time. If elected your city commissioner, I will propose that this badly- needed project pro-ject be given first attention. Recreation I "am of the opinion that in order to get our public swim ming pool, we should enlist the, support of all. Church and State, Capital and Labor in this great civic movement which -will help pay dividends divi-dends to our future leaders tomorrow. Nature has especially espec-ially favored . our city with every facility necessary to make of her a scenic center, a tourist haven and a convention conven-tion city. We should look to the east of us in our beautiful canyons which have so many choice recreation spots with the aid of our forest service we could make an outdoor haven. Lake Pollution. Sewer Dis posai, city Auditorium are indeed worthy projects. I am of the opinion we could enlist en-list the support of the Federal Fed-eral Government, State, County industries and Ken-necott Ken-necott Copper, who is one of the large benefactors of our j loke water. They should sup-1 sup-1 port such a worthy project because they derive as much benefits as any one from the lake. My intentions are to vigorously push public improvements im-provements within the means of the city corporation. Ninth South Street Opening If elected I will move that our city attorney bring mandamus man-damus proceedings upon Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Rail-road Co. who are illegally trespassing on the city's rightaway, to remove all bar-' riers constructed by them at once, restoring all road bed materials as was there before. be-fore. Labor The laboring man must be protected in his rights to organize, or-ganize, bargain collectively, to strike and peacefully picket. I stand by my commitments. i .1 I : v- ' v 'j I r p'' i ROBERT J.
