The bill would apply particularly to
code authorities.
Labor leaders testifying before the
committee during hearings on the
measure said that one of the princi
pal reasons for failure of the NRA to
help labor has been the overwhelming
preponderance of industrialists on all
administrative and policy-forming
boards.

being Huey—
Or Father Coughlin for being

Or General Johnson, Frances Per

Or even Franklin D. Roosevelt for
going fishing in April, 1935?
That first swirling cloud of misty

Contained the potential nerve—
Which became a light-seeking eye—
On acount of an inquiring intelli

Which demanded knowledge of color

Then discovered new relations be

By which it could measure dis

In terms of millions of light-years.
But embryonic also in that cyclonic

Were all the intermediate side

The dead-ends of physical and men

Ineffectual outcomes of trial-and

Troglodytes and pterodactyles—

Immanuels and Attilas—
Enmeshed also in the cosmic rays—
Inescapably bound by the impal

Bound for more far-reaching per

Capable of adjustment to reception

More selective as to incoming vibra

With prismatic capacity for anal

Along with the interfering frac

Senate Committee
Backs Lynching Ban
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—The
senate judiciary committee has ap
proved the Costigan-Wagner anti
lynching bill, and authorized Senator
Van Nuys, of Indiana, to draw up the
report. The measure would provide
severe penalties for lynchers, officers
who fail to exercise due diligence in
protecting persons from them, and
counties where mobs take the law
into their own hands.
Attorney General Hits
Prisons' Overcrowding
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Attor
ney General Cummings said here that
the California state prison at San
Quentin, in which Thomas J. Mooney
is confined, has at least twice too
many occupants.
"I was there last August and it was
one of the most depressing sights I
ever saw," he added. He used San
Quentin, where nearly 7,000 men were
imprisoned, as an example of serious
overcrowding in the nation's peni
tentiaries.
He said that around 18,000 men now
are in federal institutions and that the
government was considering expan
sion of its prison facilities.
