If House Adopts
Roosevelt’s Flans
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINBTON May 17, — Some
senators predicted that if the house
passes the seven point NRA pro
gram approved by Roosevelt and
Richberg, that there will be no NRA
law or no books when the present
NRA expires June 16th.
The house acceptance of the plan
would lead to a prolonged tug of
war with the senate which lias al
ready voted to trim the NRA’s sails
and extend its life only ten months.
Even senate democratic leaders
are apprehensive about completing
the new legislation by June 16th.

LONDON, May 17, — Viscount
Cecil, attacking Benito Mussolini for
his Ethiopian policy, declared that

for a collective system in the north

Lord Cecil, wiho is President of the
League of Nations Union.
“Nor can a unilaterial breach of
part five of the treaty be justly con

WASHINGTON
S CURRENT
COMA NT
On the 30th of April, the United
States Patent Office will issue pat
ent number two million. About a
century ago, an official in charge
of patent matters expressed the op
inion that the time for stopping the
granting of patents had arrived,
since everything novel and useful
had been patented. The two mil
lionth patent is a distance marker on
a road of progress the length of
which the old-time official did not
forsee and probably could not have
been expected to foresee.
Fifty thousand persons thronged
the lawn of the White House on Eas
ter Monday for the annual egg roll
ing festivities. More than a hun
dred children were lost in the crowd
but were returned safely to anxious
parents. Egg-rolling, unlike bridge
is not governed by elaborate rules.
.The main thing is to have fun. One
solemn-faced youngster selected a
tree as a target and smashed his
dozen eggs against it by well-dir
ected rapid-fire shots. He enjoyed
himself in his own way, with harm
I to no one. Likely enough, his moth
er thought the eggs would be used
otherwise. Yet among the unalien
able rights referred to in the Dec
laration of Independence is the pur
suit of happiness. Who, after all,
should stop the other fellow’s chase,
provided that no damage is done in
the hunt?
Washington window sills were
covered lately by a brownish film.
Many did not notice it. Good
housekeepers and men who are par
ticular about the appearance of the
office made a swish with a cloth
and the dirt was gone. It was a
far-flung remnant of the mid-west
dust storms. The plains folk could
not brush their troubles away so
easily, yet they are not without
