Mine Subsidy Bill
Appears Dead
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Despite a
new setback for mine subsidy leg
islation in the House rules com
mittee yesterday. Rep. Engle <D.
Calif.) continued to hold out hope
for the measure.
The committee at a closed-door
meeting refused to clear a mine
aid bill for House action. Chair
man Sabath fD.-Ill.) told report
ers he remembered the vote as be
ing five to four against the bill,
but Engle said he understood it
was a tie vote.
Two members of the rules com
mittee favoring the measure were
not present for the vote, Engle
said.
Because of this, he explained,
he feels that the committee may
reconsider its action.
This optimism was not shared
by either Sabath of Rep. Peterson
<D.-Fla.), chairman of the public
lands committee, where the legis
lation originated.
Sabath told reporters he believ
ed the mine subsidy bill had
"reached the end of the trail” with
the committee’s action.
Peterson said he saw little
prospect that the committee will
reconsider the measure, or that it
can be brought up before the
House under a 21-days notice rule.
‘ The bill turned down was one
drafted by Sabath himself, which
would have authorized $165,000,
000 over a four year period in in
centive payments to stimulate the
development and conservation of
strategic minerals.
It was a compromise of legisla
tion originally prepared by Engle
which would have provided for
$330,000,000 for incentive pay
ments over a like period. The
rules committee refused several
weeks ago to approve the Engle
bill.

For Incompetence

al that military aid for embattled

sign and let someone else admin
ister the program to which he
was. and perhaps still is. so vio
lently opposed.”

Bulx> Ruth
Closes Its Doors
BALTIMORE, (JP) — The house
that built Babe Ruth and turned
many an orphan and toughie into
good, solid Americans passes out
of existence today. St. Mary’s in
dustrial school is closing its doors.
For 84 years—since 1866—the
Catholic-sponsored school has
taken into its grey walls boys who
weer motherless or tabbed as po_
tential law-breakers.
But because the state has made
other arrangements for its juven
ile problems, financial aid has
been withdrawn.
Georg; Herman Routh entered
the school when he was seven be
cause his father, a saloon-keeper,
thought his environment around
his place wasn’t too good. Young
Ruth was listed as an incorrigible,
but in later years you could never
get the fathers at the school to
agree that he was.
He stayed there until he was 18
and his baseball career was in full
bloom.
Mrs. Alice Dempski. mother of
Joe Wallace has been visiting her
son, owner of the Wallace Hotel
for the past two weeks and helped
him celebrate his birthday yester
day. She plans to celebrate the
Fourth of July in Nome before
returning to her home in Seattle.
Enroute she will visit her grand
daughter Mrs. Russell Maynard in
Juneau.
Love is like an apple pie—a
little crust nad a lot of apple
sauce.
