74th Congress Closes After Long Session and Tax Bill
The 74th Congress adjourned after five and a half months, approving nearly 10.0 billion dollars in appropriations. An emergency tax bill expected to raise 800 million dollars passed in closing hours, while the Supreme Court invalidated the AAA and Guffey coal bills. The bonus for soldiers and other large programs swelled the total as measures like the Florida canal project and Passamaquoddy dam were not approved.

Smith Calls For Roosevelt Be Put Aside At Convention
Former Governor Alfred E. Smith and four anti administration Democrats urge delegates to replace Franklin D. Roosevelt with a genuine Democrat. The tele gram lists Bainbridge Colby James A Reed Joseph B Ely and Daniel F Cohalan among signers. Governor Lehman of New York dismisses the move predicting Roosevelt will win New York in November. Death of Bernhard von Buelow removes a top German diplomat and heralds possible changes in the foreign ministry.
