strictly a Congressional affair
as the White House is on the
outs with the party.
Leaders in the Senate co-oper
ated in making the drought re
lief sum $60,000,000 instead of
as recommended, $25,000,000 in
the budget.
Democratic leader Robinson
warned against a floor fight un
less a higher amount is agreed
on. Further test in co-operation
appeared probable during the
debate for $100,000,000 for build
ings. This also appeared to be
in danger of a fight as difficul
ties have been encountered with
the House appropriation com
mittee.
New . discontent appeared in
the S' over Secretary’s dis
approval of the proposal ~to ban
all immigration for five years.
Reed of Pennsylvania spon
sored on? and Johnson of Wash
inton, the other. Stimson said
snch a law is unnecessary as im
migration will fall low under

As he was reading his speech
of acceptance his voice faltered,
and with a quivering hand he ad
justed his eyeglasses and said
huskily, “Unfortunately I cant see
is I used to.” Then swaying and
groping for support he whispered,
‘I can’t go on."
They got him a chair and a
?!ass of water and Hector Puller
of the Mayor’s committee finished
reading Lipton’s speech.
