GOOD INTENTIONS— WASHINGTON—When President Roosevelt strongly urged economy, but at the same time presented estimates of revenues and expenditures showing a 1938 deficit of $418,000,000, his congressional lieutenants called at the White House to talk back on economy, later believed they had left him favorably disposed toward Senator Byrnes's proposal of a flat 10% cut in all appropriations except fixed charges (interest on public debt, veterans' government contracts). But last week, on the eve of Franklin Roosevelt's departure for tarpon fishing off the Texas coast, Senior House Appropriations Committee Clarence Cannon of Missouri, after a White House visit, sponsored a 132-word resolution simply "impounding" 15% of all appropriations for fiscal 1938 and providing that "no account so impounded and set aside shall be available for obligation unless and until released and restored in part by the President." Asserting that the President favored the idea, Speaker Bankhead promptly spoke up for the 15% proposal, which looked bigger than Senator Byrnes's 10% proposal but was not mandatory and might end up as no saving at all, depending on the President. Since congressmen could thus take credit for promoting economy, and the President all blame for sinking it, this was a tempting proposition. But congressional temper was such that Senators Robinson, Byrnes, McKellar an dother, less regular, administration supporters with good intentions strongly opposed the idea, said they preferred a certain 10% cut (about $250,000,000 net after fixed charges) in the hand, to a possible 15% cut ($1,100,000,000) in the bush. After this senate backfire, Speaker Bankhead announced he had only assumed that the Cannon proposal had President Roosevelt's approval, was further embarrassed to discover that under a 1906 statute the President already has precisely the authority set forth in the Cannon resolution. RELIEF— DETROIT, Michigan—When it was discovered that Mrs. Violet Crocker of Detroit had bought a new spring wardrobe, packed up to go to the coronation, officials dropped her from the relief rolls.

Olive St. Anaheim, C FOR PEACE AND WAR— WASHINGTON—Reported out of a house-senate conference committee, swiftly passed and flown vacationing President Roosevelt only five hours before expiration of the current temporary statute, as a new and permanent neutrality bill, which continues the 11 statute's mandatory bans on financing loans, credits, arms, munitions and implements of war belligerents; forbids U.S. citizens to travel on belligerent vessels except as provided by the resident; forbids the arming of S. merchantmen; requires residential approval of food, clothing and medical contributions such as U.S. liberals are now sending to Spain's embattled rivalists. Prime new feature of the bill, to tried for only two years, is provision for putting all trade with warring nations on a "cash and carry" basis—requiring the purchaser to collect and pay for goods in U.S. ports. Prodded by four peace-at-any-price men—Lie, Clark, Vanderburg and Bone—the senate had voted in March put cash and carry trade in force automatically at the beginning of war abroad; but the confluence committee pulled the bill's shift by arranging to let the resident decide if and when the rule should take effect. Author of the cash and carry case former war industries board chairman Bernard Mannes Barush no thinks that shipping, not selling, is what embroiled the U.S. the world war, that the real way to keep peace is to have the U.S. so well prepared to fight that nation will dare to antagonize. Last week, day after the house and senate conferences agreed on the neutrality bill, the house militaryairs committee put Baruch's scheme to the fore by agreeing to report on a new mobilization bill providing, not a flat 95% tax on abnormal war profits as proposed by the American Legion, but government absorption of "all surplus profits" above a "fair, normal return" — specific rates to be recommended by the secretary of the treasury within 30 days after congress declares war. The rest of the bill would make the President a near dictator in wartime, with power to marshal under government control industries, material resources, public services, stock and commodity exchanges; with power to license every business except publishing, fix prices, wages, salaries, rents. Fiercely attacked was a proposal to let the President draft the nation's entire manpower for service in trench, field and factory. Hence the committee left in the mobilization bill only a provision permitting industrial managers to be drafted into the government's civilian service. LAST HOURS— DOVER, Delaware—The Delaware general assembly stopped the clock fortnight ago, stayed in boisterous session all night to finish up its year's work, slept late next day before returning home—happy that the session was over. But last week several assembly members were called to discuss with Governor Richard C. McMullen the serious matter of the $7,000,000 school appropriations bill which they were to have passed for running Delaware's schools for the next two years. There was a record of the house's sending the bill to the senate with an amendment, of the senate's killing amendment and sending the bill back to the house with another. After that the records were blank. Some legislators assured the governor that the bill debarked from the "Queen Mary" at Southampton nearly a fortnight ago. The U.S. press, feeling knee breeches unmanly except for sliding bases or playing golf, was in a characteristic, hayseedy dither over whether Special Envoy Gerard would wear court dress. He opined: "If my host dined in pajamas, I would wear pajamas. On this occasion my host will wear court dress," To this flurry was added another when from impressionable young reporters in Washington came word that General Pershing, military representative, would attend the coronation in a gaudy $600 uniform of his own design, consisting of an ostrich-plumed "fore and aft" hat, a frock coat embroidered with oak leaves, epaulets, brass buttons and a buff silk sash. Infuriated, General Perishing stomped up the gangway of the "President Harding" in New York without ever explaining clearly to reporters that his coronation costume was no flight of fancy but the regulation full-dress uniform of a U.S. army general. Grinned Admiral Hugh Rodman, naval representative: "I think I'll wear pink undies." Laborite members of parliament last week received special permission to attend the coronation in dark business suits or ordinary morning dress: cutaway coat, striped trousers, spats optional. Quakers will wear ordinary evening-dress trousers. Two kilted delegates from the Fiji Islands will wear no trousers at all. War office underlings in London were for weeks in a state of jitters over the decision of Major General Sir James H. MacBrien, commissioner of the Royal Canadian mounted police, not to allow his troop of 34 scarlet-coated "Mounties" to reach London soon-or three days before the (60% to 65%), molten Epsom salt (20% to 20% water to moisten).

There was a record of the house's sending the bill to the senate with an amendment, of the senate's killing amendment and sending the bill back to the house with another. After that the records were blank. Some legislators assured the governor that the bill had been finally passed; others said it had not; nobody seemed very sure. Promptly calling a meeting of the whole assembly, Governor McMullen sternly warned that if, after the meeting, a special session must be called to correct an error like that, it must be held at no expense to the state. LAWN SITTER— LONGMONT, Colorado—Planted in a rocker on her father-in-law's front lawn in Longmont, Mrs. Genevieve Johnson, 26, went into the second week of her sit-down strike to force her estranged husband to pay the $6.70-per-week separate maintenance awarded her by a court.

This formula, says the Frings, "seems to be just as effective as the (common) 5% arsenic bait; it is cheaper, and it is absolutely harmless to humans, cattle, swine and poultry or other birds." The poison is scattered among the vegetation. Apparently the first to have discovered that Epsom salt is poisonous to insects, Pennsylvania state college's Dr. Vernon Haber has been spreading the news to other entomoligists by word of mouth, has recommended that a spray of Epsom salt in water be used against Mexican bean beetles. Maine agricultural experiment station's J. H. Hawkins advocates that the spray be used against wheat wireworms; the Frings believe it "could be used safely on many vegetables and fruits." BABIES, BOMBS AND BATTLESHIPS— MADRID—Great waves of German planes swooped low last week over Guernica, "Holy City" of the Basques, blasted the houses from their foundations with heavy bombs to turn this ancient village of 10,000 to a furnace. Following the bombers, fighting planes swooped down with all machine guns popping, harrying terrified peasants through the fields, sending them sprawling in their own blood. Over 800 men, women and children were killed; but the small munitions factory and barracks on Guernica's outskirts went untouched, were later seized by advancing rightist infantry. Said Catholic Canon Alberto Onoindia of Valladolid cathedral: "I saw the bombing and burning of Guernica, one of the terrible crimes of this age. I walked through the streets thick with blood and saw the bodies of the dead, many of them dismembered. There were bodies of old men, children. And behind the carnage of German aviators I saw the blood-crazed Moors move through another town at night, raping wives and daughters of the innocent. . . Now I am going to try to see the Pope and beg him to intervene . . . in the hope that he can obtain a promise from the rebels to renounce this warfare against the civilian population." As elderly Viscount Cecil of Chelwood uprope in Britain's house of lords and cried: "There is no precedent in the history of civilized nations for anything like this raid.
