CONGRESS WORK WILL BE HEAVY AFTER HOLIDAYS Only Small Parts of Huge Legislative Program Completed. Hu Scrluvs-Iloicard S'etcspaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—When congress comes back to Washington after the Christmas holidays it will find the heaviest part ot its winter’s task still waiting to be done, and only two months in which to do it. One-third of the short session is now over and only a small start has been made on tne legislative program. At the beginning of the session, plans ol Republican leaders called iur immediate action on regular appropriation bills, but none oi tne leven that must be passed by .uarch 4, if an extra session is to be voided, have become law. Muscle Shoals Waits Plans of Republican liberals called ior action on unemployment relief, uuscle Shoals, the anti-injunction oil), and the Lame Duck amendment. Muscle Shoals is still in conference committee, and little closer to enactment than it was three weeks ago, while the last two measures nave made no progress at all toward becoming law. To relieve unemployment, the accomplishments of congress so far, nave been these: It has passed a $45,000,000 bill authorizing the secretary of agriculture to make loans to drought itricken farmers, but has not, as yet, given the secretary any money for this purpose. When the money is appropriated, early ill January, the •secretary may make loans lor the purpose of buying seed, fertilizer, iced for work stock or oil for tractors. S3OO Per Farmer If the secretary wishes to interpret the words “and other purposes incident to crop production' as enabling him to do so, he may loan money for food to farmers in danger of starvation. Secretary Hyde, however, opposed loans for food when the senate attempted to provide specifically for them. The maximum amount that any drought-stricken farmer can receive under this bill is S3OO. The second unemployment measure to become law appropriates $116,000,000 for beginning work at nee on public projects already authorized. The money is to be spent on the federal aid highway system, improvement of national forests and forest roads, river and harbor work, and the Mississippi flood control system. Aside from these things, congress lias accomplished the following: It has appropriated an additional $150,000,000 for use of the federal farm board. One of the most striking features of the session has been President Hoover’s success in imposing his will on congress. Hoover was successful in having eliminated from the bill the provision for food loans to farmers; and he secured, in his public works bill, the clause giving him power to use more money for some of the projects and less for others instead of spending it exactly in accordance with the terms of the bill. Besides its legislative program, the senate has continued its investigation of campaign expenditures. Investigation of charges by Ralph Kelly that oil shale lands are being improperly disposed of by the department of interior has been ordered and will begin after the holidays. 18.000 HORSES LOOSE Congress Anxious to Get Rid of Wild Hordes in U. S. Hu Science Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. The king who cried “My kingdom for a horse!'’ could have 18,000 horses for nothing today, if he could catch them. These horses are roaming wild in the national forests of the United States. One thousand dollars is included in the agricultural appropriation bill now before congress, for shooting them or getting rid of them in other humane manner. The department of agriculture has stated that if taine horses could be allowed to range where the wild horses are now kicking up their heels, it would mean $20,000 in g azing fees to the government.

LONDON GROPES THROUGH WORST FOG OF YEARS Eight Persons Are Killed as Traffic of Entire City Is Tied Up. I By L'nited Press LONDON, Dec. 23.—A real “Victorfan’’ fog, the kind that Londoners thought had passed with the i era of hanson cabs and lorig skirts, I covered the city with a heavy, grimy blanket today. j The fog was the worst London and the south of England had Experienced for years. Eight persons were killed here, and many injured in accidents. The fog lifted in patches in the center of the city at noon, but still was heavy over the greater part' of the London area. Crowds of Christmas shoppers, who braved the weather, added to the congestion in the business distracts. Half Million Marooned Scarcely any trains arrived in London on time. The subway system was flooded with passengers, who usually relied on busses and trams for transportation. Minor traffic accidents were reported from all parts of the city. Thousands of workers were late in reaching their offices. Air ministry officials predicted no immediate relief, although it was expected that the weather would clear by Christmas. Half a million Londoners were marooned trying 'to get home from work Monday night ,and their problem of getting back to work today was no less difficult. Walking Is Dangerous Extra police, equipped with flares, guided pedestrians across streets. Walking was dangerous, for motor vehicles were lost in the fog and many of them came to a halt on sidewalks. Some pedestrians organized groups, joined hands, and started vocal fog horn choruses, guided by a leader who waved a handkerchief or some other white object as a warning signal. Visibility was reduced to three feet at the height of the fog.

THEATER AND RADIO AGAIN ARE WEDDED A Closing Act Brings Some Natural Fun to a Bill Because v These Actors Know How to Throw that Thing. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN I WONDER at times if the theater and the radio are really married. We have had those “personal appearances" of alleged movie “stars" walking out and doing for years a most unintelligent something. There are mighty few people who can become “wedded” to their audience over the air and then come in and get that fine gravey, known as “box office.’’ When they deliver on such a plan, I will tell you. And this has become a “wedding." I am speaking of Little Jack Little who has hung to the same idea on the stage. I have always thought that his introduction on the stage

(the radio thing) was confusing. And I will never change it- When he comes out in the flesh, he wins that necessary contact. He then brings the stage and the radio into

that thing I call “a wedding " He asks you if you want to hear the “saloon piano" and he gives you that thing as he would do it over the air. It is a laugh. But maybe the stage and the radio have been wedded too long. This very fine man has enough showmanship on the stage to give us anew thing. And yet he remembers that wedding of the stage and radio. And when

he leaves the stage for the final time, he asks a question and he then plays it. That is his encore. It is mostly radio language, Little Jack Little. There should be a definite language on the stage. Nobody can

Baker, Dove and Allen. On the .econd show Monday when I caught them, they missed many of their clubs. Every time they missed, I had the grand satisfaction that they “missed." I like their fun with clubs because it is old and honest. The Warners have children—speaking of the act. Children Lhould be children even on a Christmas bill. Elcota and Byrne—when the man starts playing the instrument on the stage and stops trying to be funny, he has a chance. Why the comedy? The movie is Charles Farrell in “The Princess and the Plumber."
