8-Inch Snake Found Inside Live Cricket

HANFORD, Cal, May 31 (U. P.) —Scoffers had proof today that Supervisor Russell Troutner really did find an eight-inch snake living in the body of a cricket. “After accidentally stepping on the cricket, I could hardly believe my eves when I saw the snake wriggle out,” he said. “I pinned it down with small sticks and found it was eight inches long. The snake lived about 24 hours.” Mr. Troutner was howled down when he told his fellow supervisors about the incident, Later, however, he exhibited a bottle containing the tiny snake and the cricket. His story was strengthened by Agricultural Commissioner Fred P. Roullard of Fresno County, who said the reptile was a parasitic hair snake, a type which often grows to maturity within cricket, grasshopper or fish.

Veteran, 94, Forgotten 1n Own Parade

LANCASTER, Pa., May 31 (U. P).~Lorenzo McCracken, 94, the town's only active Civil War veteran, stood his ground valiantly while his own parade passed him by. According to the printed program, he was to have led the parade and preside at Memorial Day services at the cemetery. He put on his uniform and waited hours on the porch for the parade committee to call for him. Forgotten, he heard the band, walked to the corner and stood stiffly at attention while the parade passed.

CONGRESS SETS ADJOURNMENT FOR MID-JULY

President May Defer His Significant Tour; Pleased By Farley Report.

WASHINGTON, May 31 (U. P). —Congressional leaders advised President Roosevelt today that they believe Congress can finish its “major legislation” and adjourn by July 15. The leaders met with the President shortly after his return from Hyde Park. Speaker William B. Bankhead said “the consensus of leaders was that it was possible to conclude” by July 15. In that case Mr. Roosevelt would postpone his tentatively scheduled mid-June trip to the West Coast until after adjournment. The leaders promised to give him more definite information next week. Lists Legislative High Spots

Regarding reports that Congress might stay in sesion until mid-Au-gust, Speaker Bankhead said he was “certainly not in favor of that.” He enumerated four major points of legislation to be dealt with: Neue trality, taxes, relief and social security. Before leaving Hyde Park, where he had spent the Memorial Day week-end, the President disclosed at his regular weekly press conference that he had received a favorable report on the national political picture from Postmaster General Farley, who has returned from a tour of many states and a visit to the San Francisco World's Fair. He did not indicate, of course, whether Mr. Farley's favorable report would be taken as a "green light,” in regard to a third term, but said he planned a trip to San Francisco, Seattle and Alaska, probably next month.

3d Term Race ‘May Be Forced’

Meanwhile, Senator Norris (Ind. Neb.) said Mr. Roosevelt may be forced to seek a third term to complete the New Deal because of the lack of a candidate who would “carry on" his policies. Senator Holt (D. W. Va.) is preparing a resolution designed to place the Senate on record against a third term. He said illness and the task of gathering data has delayed its introduction, but that he would bring it before the Senate

soon.
