Rep. Bloom presents sculptress with check from anonymous New Yorker to save home. Washington, D.C., Nov. 18. Early this week a reporter on a local paper discovered that Adelaide Johnson, sculptress, who created the Susan B. Anthony Sufferagist Group in the U.S. Capitol, was about to be evicted from her bare house. She had no means of moving several busts and statues which she had in the house and had set about destroying them. The matter was called to the attention of Rep. Sol Bloom of New York who investigated. An anonymous woman in New York sent a thousand dollars, and other amounts brought the total up to almost $2,000. Rep. Bloom arranged a suitable agreement with the realty company, and now Miss Johnson, shown here receiving the check, will be allowed to stay and continue her work. In the background is a bust of Susan B. Anthony

Gentlemen, I am here [...]' began General Moseley. Washington, D.C., May 31. Major General George Van Horn Moseley, U.S.A. retired, provided members of the Dies Committee with testimony today following a brief argument over a statement which he wished the read. With the opening statement, 'Gentlemen, I am here...' he was cut short by acting Chairman Arthur Healy. 'You can answer that question. You're not here to make a speech.' He said that if he were president, he would enforce a 1929 statute which empowers the president to use the army to fight subversive activities within the country. Behind the General is Rep. J. Thorkelson of Montana, whom Moseley said would 'bring it all out on the floor of the House'

Cotton state Solons present demands for enactment of farm program to president. Washington, D.C., Aug 5. Led by Senator Ellison D. "Cotton Ed" Smith, of South Carolina, a delegation of congressmen from the cotton states called on President Roosevelt today and presented their demands for enactment of a farm program before congressional adjournment.

In the picture, left to right: Rep. William R. Poage, Texas; Rep. John J. Sparkman, Ala.; Senator Ellison D. Smith, S.C.; Rep. Rene L. De Rouen, LA.; Rep. Lyndon Johnson, Tex.; Rep.
