Scare-Sparrow
Is New Novelty
To Sightseers
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, June 22, — Rocke
feller Center's tenth story farm,
offered a popular new attraction
to urban sightseers today in the
form of a “scare-sparrow”—the
city’s version of a scare-crow.
Sparrows ate so many seeds
from the skygcraper corn and oat
patches that the scare-sparrow
became a necessity. It differs
from a rural scare-crow in that
it wears a tuxedo and has a
white handkerchief in its breast
pocket.
Several Of Big
Bills Lost When
Congress Closed
(Bv The Associated Pressi
WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 22,
—Leaving on the White House
door step, a bundle of bills that
included the new revenue and
relief measures, the 74th Con
gress adjourned its six months
session.
The senate was gripped in a
filibuster which killed the Gutf
ey Vinson and Guffey coal bills,
as the last gavel fell.
The House idled through a few
final bills and then marked time
until the senate adjourned.
The long-embattled tax bills,
estimated to raise eight hundred
million dollars revenue, were
passed Saturday, but the coal
and ghip subsidy, and housing
bills were held up by the pro
ceedings. The ship bill was fin
ally squeezed through but the
housing bill was lost, along with
the coal bill, the last measure
designed to replace the court in
validated coal control act.
An eleventh hour effort to
push the three year old food
drug bill through the house also
failed.
When congresgional business
was done, democratic members
trekked north to Philadelphia for
the Democratic National Conven
tion. ,
President Roosevelt deferred
his usual week-end yachting trip
to work over the besketful of
bills sent him.
He already has signed a large j
number of bills including the an-:
ti-price discrimination bill de
signed to prevent large retailers
from obtaining “fictitious” rebat
es from wholesalers.
Bills passed included the soil |
conservation program, designed
to replace the old AAA outlaw- j
ed by the Supreme Court, and
the Soldiers Bonus payment bill,
: the latter being passed over the
pregident’s veto.
