Present at the conference were Speaker Bankhead, House Democratic Floor Leader Sam Rayhurn, and Senate Democratic Floor Leader Bark-ley. The President started by saying that he wanted the leaders to crack the whip and put through his entire legislative program, Including a crop control bill.

Upon being inler- "Both the House and the Senate" Agriculture Committees will work on the bill during the recess," one of the leaders said, "and have it ready for action next January." "I don't see why a bill can't be framed now," the President remarked. "Congress doesn't have to rush home. It has been in session seven months and hasn't done a thing yet." The leaders bridled at this, particularly Bankhead and Rayburn.

"Mr. President," one of them snapped, "that is not so.

Sullivan as boss of New York's famous Tammany Hall, a New York press service wired its Washington correspondent: "Rush 250 words on Sullivan's congressional record." The veteran newsman shot back this reply: "Impossible. Sullivan has no congressional record." Although he has held a seat in the House continuously since 1917 and is a member of the potent Ways and Means Committee, Sullivan probably is the most do-nothing member in Congress. In fact, he comes to Washington only occasionally.

The story is told of him that following a visit to his Capitol Hill offiee, one of his own clerks inquired. "Who was that man who butted around here so familiarly?" MERRY'-GO-ROUND.

Costly To All Concerned Closing of the Plymouth Motor Co. plant in Detroit because of fighting between rival unions is regrettable. The company is the victim of a conflict which it did not start, and with which it had nothing to do.

The closing was made necessary by clashes between the CIO union, the United Automobile Workers, and the Independent Association of Chrysler Employes. The latter is a plant union but not a company uiiii n. The conflict arose out of rivalry between the unions in soliciting membership. Several fights, with injuries to the participants, followed by a sit-down strike, led the company to close the plant until some sort of peaceful settlement is worked out. Meanwhile the company loses revenue, the workers lose wages.

1937, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) You're Telling Me! By WILLIAM KITT. By WILLIAM RUT Joe finally agreed with the missus various chores of his occupation. And as we talked, in through the door came a shambling figure who said to my friend the janitor: "How's chances of getting half a buck from you, buddy?" The janitor leaned on- his broow and looked the beggar over. Then very quietly he answered: for dominance, and will not be the last. When two I unions within a plant are of almost equal strength, so that neither can establish a valid claim lo nego- i tiate for all employes, the solution is not easy.

I In such cases, the only hope lies in conciliation and I a mutual agreement not to attempt to take members from each oilier. Rival labor fights not only hamstring production and cause losses financially to all con- cerned but they also alienate public sympathy. i For instance, public feeling in the present in-stance is vwih the Plymouth Motor and against1 "Yes, I will give you Ihe 50 cents" The beggar brightened to attentionand the janitor went on: "Yes, I will give you the 50 cents if you take my brush and mop the unions in their fight with each other. and clean out the men's washroom."

Mrs. Robinson, personally, has no desire to enter politics. But her brother is very keen to have her assume office.

For many years he was a beneficiary of Robinson's powerful position, is now holding simultaneously two lucrative jobs, one as receiver of the Southeast Arkansas Levee District at $500 a month, the olher as an officer of the Southwest Joint Stock Land Bank, also at a very good salary. The election of Bailey would mean the end of Miller's inside drag. So he, and other relatives, are pressing Mrs. Robinson to seek her husband's place. If she should enler the contest it would be under a handicap.

She would have to run as an independent since Bailey was designated T1IF. CAMERAMAN: Cops to the floor or belter angle oil a dance scene.

And many a time since then have La that their house could stand a coat of paint. The last time it was painted Joe held up the job while arguing with the painted whether the Chicago White Sox or Cincinnati Reds would win the world series.

That gives you a rough idea of how long ago the last paint job was put on, but it gives you no idea how rough the house looked now. What paint hadn't peeled off had changed shades five times. At first Joe and the missus couldn't agree on what colors to pick. She wanted white with a green trim, figuring the two-by-four bungalow, thus disguised, would pass off for a spacious southern mansion. Joe wanted something distinctive.

He argued for a grass-green job with red shutters and the rain spout and chimney done in a canary yellow. But he wisely said nothing to her about it. Mrs. Joe left for a two-week visit wit hrelativcs. This gave Joe his chance.
