the matter of regulating minimum wages and maximum hours. The House may write a new wage-hour measure instead of seeking to force the House Rules Committee to unhand the present one. The Antilynching Bill has been assured early consideration, and the very fact that 1938 is election year will make the fight on it more bitter than ever.

Compromise Is Possible

Before the next session some compromise may have been worked out on reorganization of Govern-

the same dilatory tactics which kept this part of the President's program from passing this year probably will be resumea. Principal targets of criticism are the sections dealing with civil service reform and placing independent agencies under the Cabinet departments. At the next session the fight to pass the Norris and Mansfield bills creating new conservation and power authorities similar to TYA will be undertaken in earnest. Power companies may be expected to call out their full battalions to defeat it, and a struggle like the holding company fight of 1935 may develop. The bill was not vigorously pressed this year, in Senator Norris’ absence. The President has said he wants new tax legislation at the next ses-

sion, and he may present a comprehensive plan for drastic revision of tax laws. Also he may have his proposals for strengthening antimonopoly laws ready at that time. Three other measures the Administration is anxious to pass are the Chandler, Lea and Barkley bills to strengthen bankruptcy acts, regulate the conduct of protective committees, and provide for supervision of trust indentures. All have been recommended by the Secrities and Exchange Commission. The House passed the Chandler Bill. The others are still in committee.

Bills Await Action

and-drug bill, promised in the early Roosevelt days. Another attempt ‘will be made also to strengthen the Federal Trade Commission Act and broaden the Commission's powers.

The Natural Gas Bill awaits action by the Senate. The House having passed it without a dissenting vote. It was brought out of committee in the Senate so late that the threat of a filibuster prevented action.

Another measure held up by talk in the Senate would put regulétion of air transportation in the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The Deportation Bill, another battered veteran of five previous sessions, awaits action in the Senate after pasasge by the House. It provides for ridding the country of criminal ‘aliens while permitting a few of good character, now technically deportable, to remain. In the House, efforts will be renewed next year to otbain a vote on the measure permitting Federal ‘and state governments to tax each

Writhing Reptiles to Carry Tribal Message to Rain Gods

in a weird ritual conducted by priests of the Snake and Antelope Fra- | ternities, prayed to the gods of the underground waters today to look

Thousands of curious white tourists gathered to witness the Hopi Snake dance—oldest religious ceremonial in America—and immediately prepared to flee from the Pueblo to escape the torrential rains that

Today's culmination of the savage, nine-day rites began at dawn, to end at sunset when the writhing, hissing reptiles are to be released on the desert floor to carry the Hopi message to the gods.

Snakes Are Washed

At noon, the Snake priests re- | turned to their kiva to perform the snake-washing rites to the accompaniment of an eerie humming chant, the rattle and swish of the accompanying gourds and the hissing of angry snakes. The priests, sitting in a circle around a sacred bowl, marked time to the hissing clamor by waving two snakes each above their heads. As the chant hit a fierce, wild crescendo, they plunged the deadly

The climax of the final day's ritual is to come at sunset when the Antelope priests, weirdly dressed and

LOCAL UTILITY ASKS APPROVAL REFINANCING

Readjust $38,000,000 Indebtedness.

The Indianapolis Power & Light Co. today petitioned the Public Service Commission for permission to refinance its $38,000,000 outstand« ing bonded debt. The petition was filed by Harry T, Pritchard, president of the local utility. Company officials said the refine anced obligation may be obtained as lTowas 33 percent. The 1. P. & L. now is paying 5 per cent on its bonds, according to the petition. The utility issued $30,000,000 in 5 per cent bonds when the Merchants’ Heat & Light Co. and the Indianapolis Light & Heat Co. property was acquired in 1927 by merger, Common stock in the Power & Light Co. is held by the Utilities Power & Light Corp., a holding company controlled by Floyd B. Odlum.

The labor resolution, signed by Carl Vestal, Marion County BuildHammond, Indianapolis Central Labor Union president, said: “ ... Resolved, that we, the representatives of organized labor, and their members, multitudes of whom are taxpayers, do hereby g0 on record as favoring the building of a Jarge Coliseum in the downtown area, with facilities large enough to take care of any convention or gathering for years to come.” The Junior Chamber's letter, signed by President Doyle Zaring, said: “We must go forward and keep pace with other progressive cities that |
