ACTION SPEEDED ON LEGISLATION Congress Moves Rapidly Toward Adjournment Os Session Washington. Aug. 4 — (U.P) — Congress moved rapidly down the adjohrnment pathway today with both house and senate driving essential measures on the administration program toward passage. Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley conferred with Mr Roosevelt at the White House to report on progress of the legislative program. House leaders busied themselves to iron out committee jams and expedite major bills toward debate on the house floor. Developments: The house labor committee reached agreement on wages and hours legislation, voting to report the senate bill plus amendments, backed by the administration and the American Federation of Labor. The committee’s formal report is expected alter today. The joint congressional committee on tax avoidance and evasion concluded its work and agu>ed to submit a report to the house ways and means and senate finance committees on methods of closing tax law loopholes tomorrow. Brief hearings on a tax loophole bill will be started by the ways and means committee Monday. The senate moved toward passage of the Wagner housing bill, approving minor amendments. The bill was expected to be ap- ] proved today. The house rules committee ap-1 proved a rule for four hours house debate on the Jones sugar bill. The bill will be brought before the house tomorrow with final action expected Friday. The senate approved and sent to the White House the District of Columbia tax bill which carries the controversial Miller-Tydings retail price maintenance rider. House labor committee agreement on the wages-hours bill marked a victory for the house I leadership’s adjournment driv?. Discarded in the interest of party harmony and to protect the bill from house controversy was a proposal to allow the labor standards board to set work weeks as low as 35 hours and w r age levels up to 70 cents an hour. The senate bill, as amended by the committee, carried the A. F. of L. revisions designed to protect collective bargaining agreements.

In addition the bill carried a committee amendment including retail stores in scope of the act; an amendment requiring appointment of the five members of the labor standards board form five regions of the country; restrictions on imports of goods manufactured below American wagehour standards: and providing a state director for the act in eacn of the 48 states. The committee agreement came as a new threat arose to wage and hour legislation. A bloc of house members from cotton states caucused and showed resentment against refusal of President Roosevelt to acquiesce in a program for new loans to cotton producers. Threats were voiced that unless aid was forthcoming a bloc might form to oppose wage-hour legislation. -4 o Dean Laments Modern Tempo Stanford University, Cal. —(U.R) — Dean Grayson N. Kefauver has characterized moder nsociety as a combination of noise, speed, vocational monotony and competitive drive for profits. He urges a new mode of life to relieve modern tension and emotional conflicts. o First Plows of Tree Branches The first farm plows were made of crooked tree branches and worked by man power.
