CAN CONGRESS FINISH?
Many believe that it will be impossible to finish
necessary legislation this winter; that it will be nec
essary to call an extra session following the end of the
present short term, next March.
If obstructionist tactics are pursued by Senators
of both parties who seem to delight in throwing mon
key wrenches into the legislative machine, President
Hoover may be forced to call an extra session.
The present economic situation will be a subject of
much debate; the farm relief question is by no means
settled, in spite of the present law, passed after sever
al years of wind-jamming on the floors of both houses.
Senator Wagner’s long pending unemployment bills
will have a new airing. Appropriations for prohibition
enforcement will inevitably bring on a lot of talk. New7
bills will he thrown into the legislative hopper as a re
sult of the almost innumerable investigations in
which the Alaska Railroad will again be dragged over
the coals. Then there is Muscle Shoals, that perennial
bugaboo. In fact it would take a column to enumerate
all pending questions, each of which somebody or other
flunks the most vital issue of the day.
So, everythig considered, the question of whether
Congress can finish the imperative tasks before it by
March 4, is another very lively one.
NO THANKSGIVING
There was not much thanksgiving out to West
ward around Thanksgiving time, according to repo ids
of radio men who went thru that period of stress.
There was a big Japanese freighter in distress in
the Aleutians. The Baldwin and the Boxer were fight
ing for their lives coming down from the Bering ahead
of the ice. Then the California, a freighter on her way
to the Orient went to the aid of the Japanese vessel
hut her condenser wasn’t working right and she almost
lost her ownself. In addition there was a halibuter in
distress, a small Westward freighter and another gas
boat missing and Uncle Sam’s life-saving coast guard
cutters over a w^eek aw7ay.
The radio boys were pounding the keys and tear
ing their hair. What a life!
Mergers of big businesses in related lines reached
the acme of perfection recently in Frankfort, Ind. It
was found that liquor and tombstones were being man
ufactured under the same roof.
It is impossible to keep a city growing unless the
home people patronize their merchants and the mer
chants not only patronize each other but their patrons.
