Five months of continuous session have frayed nerves and made a number of members unduly jumpy. Both the White House and the Democratic leaders are aware of this situation. It is IrApiring them to speed up adjournment with eveTy trick in the baa. In the process quite a few gentlemen will see their pet bills dumped overboard. Rome of the measures slated for the scrap heap bear administration labels but the President and his advisers have agreed on the sacrifice rather than prolong congressional agony.

row between Senators Carter Glass of Virginia and Duncan Fletcher of Florida last week is typical of the touchy condition Coiv'itss has developed. Glass took it as a personal affront because Fletcher failed to name him as one of the conferees on the stock market hill, yet Glass himself had established the precedent. When the banking bill was in conference Glass decided that members of t'ne drafting sub-committee should ro resent tjje Senate. Fletcher was passed up despite his seniority on the full committee. Some undercover personal feel-, ings also prevailed in the House' concerning the Mi.r! fact' they caused market bill.

In isrvelf to tfcke the rather unusual extreme of announcing publicly lie wanted the conferees to accept the bill as it passed the House with the Federal Trade Commission regulating the Stock Exchange. Word had readied the White House that House lead ers were preparing to to the. Senate and take the upper. body's version, which would create a special rcgula'ory commission. A little icalou.y exists between those leaders and at ive Sam Rayburn of Texas, author of the' House bdl.

They didn't want him to get the credit. 0 0 0 PROGRAM The only measures inns ealen dar are the $1.322. (100, 000 recovery appropriation, the communications bill, extension of bank deposit guarantee, and the housing and repair bill. Add silver legislation --of a permissive character to this list and you have about, everything that stands much chance of passing. Unemployment insurance is out the window for this session.

So is Senator Wagner's bill to strengthen the National Labor Board. Chances are slim for the bill regulating commodity exchanges anr Secretary tckes' proposal for oil control. Another dead turkey that has stirred up hot discussion is the1 new Food and Drug bill sponsored by Senator CopeJand or New York and -inspired by Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Rex Tug-well. The powerful lobby that, has fought this measure unceasingly for a year is satisfied it will never come to a final voter- $'ord has been passed around among the opponents that it might possibly get through the Senate- -largely to help Copcland's campaign fur reflection but that it iScrta.iii to die in the ILnise. Ci SHIFT The t-'anm- l.aborites from i Minnesota have a gri( vancc.

They-tjhink they have boon doublr-cro'-siil' by the Roosi vlt aelminis-trruVin. Afl'-r' veiling with great regularity for administration measures as they came up in the House the Farm-Labor b'oc has just learned the Democrats are going to try to grab their seats this fall. A complete Democratic ticket is In the field in Minnesota and every effort is to be made from headquarters to elect it. Scouts for the Democratic National Committee have just returned from the state. They report, this is the year the Democrats have a chance to win.

The. fact that the liberal Farmer-Labor-11 es have strung along ovith the administration in nearly every instance is discounted by these ear-to-the ground boys. They claim the President's personal popularity is such that the Farmer-Laborites had to 'fall in line whether they wanted to or not. "The time is ripe to step in and build up our own organization," they say. Only on two occasions have the Minnesota Farmer-Laborites in the House gone "camfnry to Roosevelt's wishes.

They voted for. the soldiers' bonus, which died jrf. the Senate, and the federal pay' and veterans' increase measure, which was adopted over a presidential veto. It is quite likely in view of latest developments that tins little group will become more independent jrtft the remainder of the session. FIGHTERS For.

wie thing, they will fight for a far bigger public works appropriation than the White House has requested Representative Paul Kvale told Roosevelt his bloc was prepared even to hold up adjournment if it possibly could in order to force a two or three-billion dollar allotment. They probably won't make that grade. In addition to Kvale, those -'hose seats are threatened are Magnus Johnson, Henry Arens, Ernest Lun-deen and Francis H. Shoemaker. Senator Henrik Shipstead also is up for re-election this year.

Three days' delay, to 'give defense counsel more time, was granted today by Superior Judge Louis Ward when Millard Hickman, port engineer, appeared before him for arraignment on an indictment charging him with the murder of Louise Jeppesen, 23-year-old Ogden, Utah, girl. Hickman entered court at 9:30 o'clock this morning with Attorney Harry McKenzie. Clad in a blue suit, and his countenance haggard from coafinement, Hickman stood the bar as Clerk Maurice Cronin went through the formal reading of the indictment. "Are you ready to plead?" Cronin asked. MORE TIME ASKED McKenzie announced that the de fense was not.

ready, stating. that "he had heard of the indictment, but had not read tne transcript of evidence taken by the grand jury." "We would like at least five days or a week," he said, "so that I could have time to look into the legal mechanics of this case." "I can not see any reason for such a long delay," the court responded. "There is no good reason why the plea should not be behind us, though the court will exercise care that haste does not result in a miscarriage of jusTOeeither for one side or the other." The judge then inquired whether three days would be ample, providing the defense obtained a copy of the transcript. McKenzie said that it would. GIVEN TRANSCRIPT The court clerk then furnished McKenzie with the transcript, and arraignment went over until Thursday, The prosecution, represented by Assistant Distict Attorney Peter Mullins, made no objection to the postponement.

The courtrpom was crowded to capacity, but there was no overflow of spectators, as it was generally supposed Hickman would be taken into court at 10 o'clock instead of 9:30. In the room, quietly observing the proceedings, were Captain of Inspectors Charles Dullea and Inspectors Allen McGinn and George En-gler of the homicide squad, the three men most responsible for building up the state's case against the engineer. NEW EVIDENCE SOUGHT Both the police ana private investigators were busy over the week-end seeking new evidence in the case. The authorities sought confirmation of their story that. Hickman, after a drinking party in his apartment May 12, took the girl to Golden Gate Park, beat and criminally attacked her then strangled her with hor own belt.

The defense, insisting that police chain of circumstantial evidence will be proved groundless, had its own investigators "picking up details the authorities overlooked." HOPE FOR WITNESSES ickman's attorneys hope to find witnesses who can place Hickman far from Golden Gate Park at the time police say the Utah girl was killed. Hickman insists he put the girl out of his apartment after a quSarel and never saw her again. He spent the remainder of the night with Blanche McKay, blondo "alibi girl." The police case hinges on his activities between the time Miss Jeppesen left the apartment and Miss McKay entered the place. '5; F.

2 New Robles Suspects Sought TUCSON, May 21. (U.R)-A search for the kidnapers of June Robles, 6, was aimed at two new suspects today after police were informed by an unnamed Informant that he had been threatened. Details of the informant's story were guarded closely but it was said he had been forewarned against supplying officers information that might lead to arrest of the suspects. The latter were said to be strangers here. Investigators reported their informant was agitated and frightened when he told them his story.

A further siege of questioning was in store for a "dude rancher" who diM tmeared 4he day -Juna-wasi kidnaped and who returned home after the girl was liberated from an iron cage, sunk in the desert sands. days later.

INSECTS tadybug hunting ap- peared likely today to replace gold mining in the Oroville district as a hard times occupation following a recent announcement that ladybugs were wanted by a Los Angeles entomologist. Several mountain residents appeared at the county agricultural commissioner's office this week and said they knew where there were so many ladybugs that they could be scooped up with a bucket. Another man.

realizing that opportunity knocks only once, didn't wait for details. He brought 20 gallons of the bugs to the office. When he learned that it would be necessary to consult the Los Angeles entomologist before shipping -them, he disposed of the bugs to local farmers who wanted them to clean up aphis. OOO TANNED The season of sun- tanning having arrived, Monterey fishermen are preparing to take full advantage of Old- Sol's rays. Not that these sturdy sons of Italy who "go down to the sea in ships" are frying to compete with milady of the beaches in her abbreviated bathing Suits.

It's the nets that are to get the sun baths. Once each season the sardine nets are taken from the boats and tanned by special process during which they must hang for days in the hot sun. Heretofore they have been stretched on poles along the beaches but this year the fishermen have evolved something new. Floating tanning plants, anchored out in the bay are being used instead.

He claims that the ma- chines spoiled the stories, di: vice versa. Cobb who is spending a few the Hotel Del Monte says, "No one cares about the author-its the story that counts. The tendency of some of our ultra-modern-' istic writers seems to be show themselves off with the story as a convenient vehicle if they don't forget all about the story in their anxiety to show how smart they can be!" OOO HOT vs. COLD 14 was the hot-1 test day of that recent hot spell which drove Bay District thermometers up to new highs.

His coat lay over the back of his seat. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and his shirt was open at tpe neck. His hue was that of a boiled lobster.

Beads of perspiration rolled down his face, off the tip of his chin and splashed on tha pages of the book he was reading. I became curious as to the title of that book. What literary gem could possibly hold anyone's attention so completely on such a hot day. I peeked. The title was "A Christmas Carol." OOO PEPPING IT UP Strikes are very earnest affairs and' it is not advisable for any disinterested citizen to-monkey with any strike anywhere, in the opinion of Colonel Charles Anderson, former City Commissioner, who saw a visible demonstration of this fact many yeafs agfr-iwyrChi- cago.

It seems that there was a teamster's strike. It was a real rough strike and it had many violent moments but there were also moments of calmness, as theret usually are. During one of these moments of calmness, a bright young clerk, a friend of Anderson's, grew bored at the inaction and decided to start" something, with the assistance1 of another friend. "I'll tell you what we'll do," said the bright young man. "I'll run down the street and you run after me and yell So they did it, and the scheme worked worked so perfectly that all the strike sympa thise? that part of Chicago joined in the chase and caught the bright young man and gave him such a beating that it almost took two ambulances to get him to hospitaL He had wanted to start something and he did.

All of which, argues Colonel Anderson, proves that strikes are very earnest affairs and must not be tampered with.
