Congress stalls on relief reform and fiscal restraint
In Washington, Congress and the Roosevelt administration push no serious action to cut federal expenses. The Robinson amendment to require state relief contributions failed amid White House pressure.

Lewis, aiming to mobilize rank and file workers inside federal service.

Ancient tunnels told as mythic feats beneath rivers
A Washington Post correspondent describes a legend of ancient Egypt and other peoples tunneling under hills and rivers. The Fairy-Jonians are blamed for deeper subaqueous work, while builders later bored drainage and water tunnels. The tale frames the most fascinating and dangerous underwater tunneling operation.
