ADJOURNMENT IN TWO WEEKS IS POSSIBLE Modified Wage and Hour Bill May Be Only Major Act Enacted By JOE ALEX MORRIS, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July (U.P)Administration leaders prepared today to drive through congress 8.

modified wage and hour bill It Ls the only major bill likely to be enacted because of increasing general anxiety for quick adjournment but it too will encounter concerted opposition. The date for congress to end its 1937 session remained uncertain, but--with farm legislation virtual-! ty abandoned--adjournment day did not appear to be more than two weeks away. Majority Leader Alben W. 'ley, checking over the program in purely tentative indicated that the labor bill, sponsored by Sen. Hugo L.

Black, the $700,000,000 band housing bill, offered by Sen. Rob-; ert F. Wagner, N. and legislation to plug tax avoidance loopholes were the principal measures on the agenda in addition to the mild lower court reform bill. On Monday, the senate will at-! tempt to act on the bill offered by Een.

Pat. McCarran, to limit freight trains to 70 cars, but! whether that measure can be pleted or not the leadership exto take up the Black labor late Monday or early Tuespected day. Vandenberg Offers Amendment The general belief was that the labor measure, greatly modified in committee, would be passed after a tussle over amendments offered by Sen. Arthur Vandenberg. by Sen.

Henry Cabot Lodge, Mass. The bill would set up: a labor standards board with power to establish a wage standard up to 40 cents per hour and a maximum hour limit as low 85 40 hours per week. Vandenberg's proposals, offered as amendments to the Wagner la-! bor relations act. will be pressed as rider on the wage-hour bill, tended to equalize responsibility between workers and employers; carrying out contracts. The Lodge proposals were designed to protect "ourselves against low wage foreign competition" as result of higher wages in the United States under the legislation.

Hope for farm legislation at this session appeared slender after Chairman Ellison D. Smith, 8. of the agriculture committee, told the senate that his group believed it would be better to hold hearings on general farm problems during the congressional recess and report next January. Although Barkley said he would confer next week on the status of executive department reorganiza- tion proposals, there appeared to be little or no chance of action on that controversial at this session.

Will Use 'Financial Dictatorship' Powers to Balance the Budget LANSING, July 24-(UP) Governor Frank Murphy today cracked the whip of the "financial dictatorship" given him by the 1937 legislature in an attempt to balance the state budget for the first fiscal year of his administration. The governor lopped more than $8,000,000 off the budget with vetoes, but still found the state confronted with the prospect of going nearly $15,000,000 "in the red" and warned department beads that further cuts will be forthcoming. Budget Director Harold D.

Smith who said he "had had very little sleep for 8 week" while struggling with state finances, revealed that the governor had approved appropriations totaling $121,958,665 the Arst and $121.112,058 for the second fiscal year. Smith's figures showed that Murphy had vetoed appropriations amounting to 406,382.75 for the first and 000 for the second 12-months perlode. Figure Is Optimistio Anticipated state revenue. on the basis of Smith's estimates, is placed at $107,000,000, annually. "And that's un optimistic figure," the budget director said.

AB the governor left the capitol for the -end yesterday, he Bald his' plan for balancing the budget "was still in the formative stage. "Sipce 1 have signed several large sppropriation billa, I have I received, calls from department heads wanting to know if they could go" ahead with their Murphy said. "My answer has been that they must make budget plans on 8 very limited basis, I have sent them all warnings, thru the budget director. that there will have to be enormous reductions in order to meet the problem of unbalancing the budget that legislative enactment has created." Altho he threw up his hand when asked what basis of financial cuts would be used and said "I don't know yet," It wag understood that a sliding scale plan: would be adopted.

It WAS long distance call. Operators made their connections and it was discovered that Deputy United States Marshal Tom Randall was calling The Chronicle office from Tekonsha. Visions of post office robberies. Mann act violations. and other dire crimes with which United States marshals are concerned danced thru our mind as we grabbed pencil and paper and prepared to take down the story of the day.

Mystery Solved "We've solved the mystery." exclaimed Deputy Marshall Randall. "What mystery?" we asked, pardoning the marshal for being 80 Indefinite because we realized that he had probably juat been thru a great ordeal. "Why the big mystery of the, was the reply. "The mystery the graves in which no bodies were found." Mr. Randall of course had erence to the two "graves" had been found in the Center and Ceresco cemeterles, graves which had not been dug by the cemetery authoritles, and which when opened disclosed no: bodies.

We pricked up our ears. wondering if the "graves" had been used as places in which to conceal. the loot of A federal robbery. thus' involving the United State's marshal's office. "Ellas DeKoyer of Burlington solved the case." said Mr.

Randall. "How did he do it, and what did he find out?" we asked. "Well this is how It happened," WAS the answer. The Fredonia bear and the Burlington snake got together and started mortal combat. The snake chased the bear up A tree, then the bear chased the snake into the ground and tried to follow in the hole made by the snake.

When the fracas was over, the ground was 80 torn up that it looked like a new grave had been dug." For the benefit of those who may have forgotten, we will call to mind that Fredonia claims to have a bear roaming the township, and that Burlington is tortured by the presence of one of history's largest snakes, which no one has as yet been able to capture.
