Harrison Bonus
Bill Is Attacked
Today By Patman
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, April 18—Patman

would rather lose the bonus battle
than accept a compromise.

stand by his bill. Under the Har

Former Chief
NRA Appears
Before Senate
(Bv The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, April 18th—Gen
eral Hugh S. Johnson, former chief
of the NRA, told the senate finance
committee the mistake of the NRA
was due to his administration, but
to abandon the whole structure
would be like burning down your
house to get rid of a few rats in the
attic.
He freely admitted mistakes and
errors in the NRA but as faults of
the administration and not of the
law of the Blue Eagle set. He said
to stop the trend of concentration of
industrial power which is wiping
out the small man, should be one of
the purposes of the government im
mediately.
Demand For
Tungsten Ore
Creates Boom
(By The Associated Press)
NANCHANG, China, April 18 th—
The increasing world demand for
tungsten, the essential element in
the manufacture of steel which goes
to make battleships and big guns,
brought boom times to the moun
tainous regions south of here.
Half of the world’s output of this
scarce metal is produced in this
area. With the nations of the
world racing to rearm, the produc
tions of tungsten have grown so
rapidly that the provincial govern
ment has created a monopoly to pre
vent the industry from getting out
of control.

—
(By The Associated Press)

assistance would probably be initiated tomorrow, here, with

any aggressive nation or nations not members of the league
in the event of attack. Germany is not a member.

Pres. Campaign
(By The Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA, April 18—Full
verification of the precocity extract,
one of the most unbelieveable dis
coveries of science, was reported to
the American Philosophical Socie
ty today.
The extract comes from the thy
mus gland of calves and causes
young rats to grow up physically
and mentally in half the normal
time, without shortening their adult
lives, which begin so much sooner.
The extract is ready to be tried out
to learn what human uses it might
possess. However, doctors said they
have no expectations of it doing to
humans what was predicted and ac
complished in the action of rats.

CHIEF ASSAILS THE
ADMINISTRATION
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, April 18, (Copyright by AP) — J. N.
Darling, chief of the Biological Survey, Wednesday assail
ed the administration's failing to carry out his wild game
conservation program.
Darling said he had been at work for more than a year
without being able to stir more than lip service from con
gressmen, cabinet members and other government officials.
He said: “I’m ready to quit unless matters are correct
ed very rapidly and very soon.” He stated that there had
been great expectancy built up among sportsmen and con
servationists but despite the support of them and the presi
dent “the program from the very beginning has been block
ed and hampered, sidetracked, and pigeon-holed until it ap
peal's almost useless to continue.
As an illustration he said that congress had provided
the Department of Agriculture with seventeen thousand,
five hundred dollars to increase the number of game war
dens in Alaska, but didn’t provide transportation needs. He
added that Alaska had enough game wardens for game law
enforcement. but no money, not even enough to buy gaso
line for the boats which were built last year for patrol work.
He also complained there was no money under the work
relief measure which set aside water fowl and game restor
ation although such projects would provide work.
