UTTLEHOPE ISFELTFOR SOIMEED Congress Expected To Drag Along Until July; Fireworks May Pop Soon WASHINGTON. May tf.—<AV As leading democrats now assay the situation, this congress will not be ready to quit much before the time fireworks begin popping for the Fourth of July celebrations. Home from a week-end outing with President Roosevelt in the Blue Ridge mountains—where they apparently heard nothing to lead them to believe Mr. Roosevelt had altered his desire to see a five-point legislative program enacted—the leaders were seeking to speed things. Many Possibilities There were many contorversies fraught with potentialities for a longer session. Though the house went ahead more or less serenely Monday with a legislative approp riation bill, the senate faced three matters bearing the germs of much talk and delay. Senator Long <D-La> planned to deal at length with the post office committee’s majority report turning thumbs down on his attempt to ob tain an Investigation of Postmaster General Parley on a long list of charges. Then. too. the senate faced the situation revolving around the at tempt of Senator Norris (R-Neb) to get action on his bill to strength en the Tennessee Valley Authority’s rowers. There was a threat of an other republican filibuster against this. If the issue should lead to pro longed debate, democrats were be lieved ready to try to set It aside for another controversial one—the future of NR A Senate democrats are Insisting on extending NRA only until next April, while Presi dent Roosevelt was informed at kp’inday a conference that the house fprobably would vote for the two year prolongation he desires. NRA For* Bu«y Thu Involves possible trouble. Foes of the Blue Eagle In the sen ate have threatened to let It die on June 16 11 the house leaders seek to carry out the president's ideas. The American Liberty League was on record for the shorter extension Monday, saying the Clark resolu tion for that purpose would be "the mosi feasible method for rescuing American business from a quick sand of bureaucracy and visionary experiment.” NRA extension is one item in the five-point program the president desires. The others are the social security, omnibus banking, trans portation and holding company bills. The last named measure is due to emerge any moment from the senate interstate commerce committee to the floor. Though it has been mod ified much, it still contains the bit-1 i terly fought provision for abolition ) ot holding companies by 1942.

GUNMEN BECOME ‘LONE WOLVES’ College - Trained Criminal Fighters Breaking Up Gunman Gangs WASHINGTON. May 13. yP>—The government's college-trained crime fighters—young men who may work with a machine gun one day and an auditor’s report the next—now are trying to make “lone wolves" of all “big-time" criminals. Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Bureau of Investigation said Mon day this aim is behind the present activity against bank bandit gangs and jewel thieves. “The lone wolf cannot succeed in anything,' Hoover said. “A kidnaper must have his contacts with law yers; friends who can hide him out; women who will accompany him and want to share his ransom loot; even doctors who will care for him when he is wounded or ill." This is especially true of bank robbers and jewel thieves, he said Both must have “fences’’ who can dispose of securities or jewels, or col lect fat rewards for their return. That is the reason, he indicated, that the government is seeking to bear down hard on persons who har bor fugitives, or aid them. “It is our policy to lock up and convict any person or persons who have given criminals any aid." Typical of this. Hoover said, was the kidnaping of Charles F Urschel at Oklahoma City in 1033. Although the actual kidnaping was perform ed by three or four persons. Hoover said 23 persons already have been convicted, including six sentenced to life terms.

The measure asks $1,884,934 more than the 1935 appropriation bill but Is $2,590,140 under budget estimates Mast of the net increase was ex plained accounted for in the restora tion of the final 10 per cent salary cut to members of congress.

Because of a complaint by Cap tain William 8 Orthman that his capitol police force wasnt very ef ficient because congressmen named under age. under weight, over age and over weight men to the jobs, the committee wrote into the bill a provision that those named to the police force henceforth must meet standards prescribed by the capitol police board.
