Farm relief bill splits votes as war powers loom
AES President's farm relief bill passes the House amid vigorous debate. Supporters include Democrats and Republicans while critics warn against centralizing authority. Senate prospects remain uncertain and amendments loom before White House signature. The unemployment relief plan advances with three steps and a two billion dollar price tag, as labor unions oppose the low daily wage. And former banker Barles B Mitchell is arrested for income tax evasion allegations tied to 1920s earnings. The administration seeks broader economy measures and a push for government consolidation to trim outlays. The U.S. weighs terror reports and beer law changes fuel new regulatory battles.

White Men Visited Canada 600 Years Ago in Manitoba
Dr D A Stewart of the Manitoba Historical Society outlined a theory that white men travelled the Red River 571 years ago after a 1899 stone found along Upper Red River described Norse and Gothic voyages from Hudson Bay into North Dakota and Minnesota. He linked these to an expedition from Norway around 1350 seeking missing Greenland settlers, and traced Manitoba’s documented history to 1612 with Thomas Button landing near the Nelson River. He divided Manitoba history into five periods: discovery, fur trade monopoly, rivalries in trade, Selkirk settlement, and provincial life.
