RS?'
A FTER several daya of hectic work,
pushing through the Inst measures
labeled “must** by the administration
and a host of other bills demanded
by various members, the Seventy-third
congress closed Its second session.
The measures passed during this sea
slon Include some of the basic "laws
of the New [leal and considerable
elaboration aW modification of laws
passed last year In addition to the
regular appropriation bills and a nor
mal amount of necessary routine legis
lation.
As In the first session, President
Roosevelt was In full control, though
the legislators displayed a more crit
ical attitude and a tendency to give
proposed legislation closer scrutiny
before giving It their approval. This
could not be attributed to a lessening
of the President’s Influence or of the
confidence In him, but rather to the
fact that the members of congress
didn’t wish longer to be labeled as
“yes men.” On the whole Mr. Roose
velt succeeded In getting what he
asked and In preventing what he did
not want
Several measures that had the back
Ing of the administration failed of
passage. These Included the oil bill,
ardently desired by Secretary Ickes;
the pure food and drug bill, which
never came to a vote; the ratification
of the St Lawrence waterway treaty;
and a series of amendments ampli
fying and clarifying the powers of
the AAA.
In Its closing hours the congress
spent money like water. Indulging In
what Congressman Britten of Chicago
called “an orgy ot spending vmrh as
never has been known In the history
of the world during pence times.” The
Isst of the major hills disposed of
were:
The deficiency approprlntlon hill,
allotting the President more than two
billion three hundred million dollars
for relief and other emergency pur
poses.
The one billion dollar housing hill
to promote the revival of the building
trades and of the durable goods In
dustrles.
The Frazier bill for relief of farm
mortgagors.
The bill amending banking leglsla
tlon.
The railway labor bill
Earl J.
Forbeck
W ILLIAM GREEN, president of
the American Federation of La
bor, succeeded where President Roose
velt, Administrator Johnson ihd nil
others had failed. He
apf**nred before the
delegates of the steel
workers’ unions at
Pittsburgh and per
suaded them at least
to.jKt&Lp one their
threatened strike The
plan which he offered,
and which may lead
fo a permsnent settle
ment of the contro
versy, In brief pro
vides :
Kstnhllshment of a
three man board by the President to
adjudicate and mediate all violations
of code on matters of discrimination
• against employees.
To Insure the right of workers to
organize, empowering the board to
hold and supervise Industrial elections
for collective bargaining representa
tives.
All grievances or complaints would
be referred to the board for final de
cislon.
If acceptable to labor, capital, and
the federal government, the strike
would be called off permanently.
This was a modification of the plan
offered by the administration and vlo
lently opposed by the more radical ele
ment among the delegates.
——Leaders of the “rank and file”
steel workers. Including Earl J.
Forbeck-and other chiefs of local
unions, were especially bitter In their
attitude toward General Johnson, and
were still eager for a strike, but they
were outnumbered and the Green plan
was adopted as a basis for further ne
gotiations. The union leaders went to
Washington for a final decision. They
carried authority to call the strike
If the peace plan were rejected by the
government or the steel operators.
IN ITS second report to the Presl-
* dent the national recovery review
board, headed by Clarence Darrow,
loosed another blast at Administrator
Johnson and In effect recommended
his removal as head of the NRA. The
hoard said Johnson had given the re
covery program an un-American and
dictatorial tinge that handicapped It

TERRORISTS In Cubs, who have
been stirring up continual trouble

cipitated bloody warfare In Havana
hf making an unprovoked stack on a
parade of 85,000 members of the ABC,
the island’s largest secret political so
ciety. The radicals, ambushed In
cross streets, opened fire with ma
chine guns, pistols, sawed-off shotguns
and rifles, mowing down scores of the
marchers and many bystanders About
a dozen were killed outright The
tABC members fought valiantly with
their revolvers and with clubs and
stones Later the fighting spread
throughout the city, the Itudents tak
ing sides with the terrorists.
Col. Fulgenclo Hatlsta, chief of staff,
declared martial law In Havana as
soldiers, sailors, and marines strug
gled to item the rioting. _
Only n few hours before this furious
battle. President Mendleta narrowly
escaped death at the hands of the
terrorists A bomb was exploded be
hind his chair during a luncheon at a
naval base across the bay from Ha
vana, and he was badly wounded tn
the legs and arms and severely shocked.
Two naval officers were killed and ten
others were wounded by the blast.
S ECRETARY OF WAR DERN and
President Roosevelt have received
a unanimous report from a house In
vestigating committee demanding that
MaJ. Oen. Benjamin
D. Foulols be re
moved as chief of the
army air corps “with

port accused the gen
eral of "dishonesty,"
"gross ' misconduct,"
“tneftlclency," “Inac
curacy," “unreliabil

and "mismanage-

Gen. Foiltols . „ . . ..
After praising the
“young men" who fly army planes un
der Foulols* direction, the report con
cluded :
"We find It necessary to report that
we are most firmly convinced, from
the evidence and records submitted,
that before any substantial progress

attained. MaJ. Gen. Benjamin D.
Foulols must be relieved from his 1
position as chief of the air corps.”
The re|K»rt referred to "certain vio
lations and evasions of law and army
regulations by. also the gross miscon
duct and Inefficiency of," General
Foulols "and other executive officers
under his command." Particular ex
ception was taken to the fact that
army airplanes had been bought by
negotiation Instead of alter competi
tive bidding.
Striking back at the committee for
Its aecret hearings, Foulols challenged
his accusers to a meeting In open
court.
