committees . In Session
(C. I’. By Guardian’: Sllecinl Wire)
orrrawa, April 2'7.—Four of the most important special committees of the Hausa of Commons will be in session tomorrow morning and probably every morning for the re- mainder of the week. They are the committees on. pensions, election and franchise acts. Vioadcastins. and wheat marketing.
Progress has been made by the first named committee. under the chairmanship of Health ivunister Power, in hearing evideribo from ax- Icrvice men's bodies and individuals on pension and returned men's problems generally. Considerable pensions legislation is under con- sideration. designed to strensthen the machinery and speed up action in dealing with claims.
Much interest attaches to the radio broadcasting committee in view of he proposed legislation which would have the effect of sub- stituting a general manager for the present commission control.
sessions of the radio committee up to date have had to do almost exclusively with investigation of the political program "Mr. sage" put on in the interests of the Conservative party during the last general elec- tion campaign.
Dctails or the wheat marketing situation with particular reference to the market activities immediately after J. R. Murray of Winnipeg be- came head of the Canadian Wheat Board early last Deccmbe. have been occupying the committee on wheat, with former Prime Minister Bennett leading the examination of witnesses. Mr. Murray was under examination when the committee Udlourned Friday last.
Election reform has been the sub- léct of the committee on electior and franchise acts at previous ses- -sions. with particular attention be- ing paid to proportional representa- tion and the transferable vote. It is not antlcpated this committee will recommend legislation at the vresent session of r ent in Vie wof the lateness of the season Ind the fact that no general elec- “OH is expected for several years.

Liners Assist crippled Freighter:
(A. I‘. By Guardian's ‘Special Wire) mrw YORK. April m~—'l‘bree liners resumed their courses today after crashing through a southwest gale to the aid of two crippled freighters in mid-Atlantic.
The freishters. the Ivanhoe of Norway and the st. Quentin of Great Britain, succeeded in riding out the storm and cancelled their calls for help. Both have steering gear trouble.
The liners Bremen and Washing- ton were ploughing toward the St. Quentin when the British freighter wirelemecl:
"Weather moderating. Sustained considerable deck structure damage. After effecting repairs to steering Rear will proceed this afternoon without assistance. Thank you all."
The Polish liner Plisudski already ha drenched the'Ivanhoe, but the N0!'We81an decided to wait for a sal- vage tug.
A third freighter that experienced troub'e in yesterday's gale, the R-U-5119001. was believed, in the ab- sence of any further word. to have effected repairs.
Urge completion or lluodiiy Project
(A. P. By Gum-dla.rr's Special Wire)
AUGUSTA, Me., April 23—G0ver- nor Louis J. Brann left for Wash- ington today to “insist" to President Roosevelt that the Passamaquoddy Bay tide harnessing project be com- pleted. He carried the endorsement of 700 Maine citizens.
Brann said he took with him tel- egrams from 700 Matne residents urging him to "secure continuance" of the Quoddy project.
"I will place them before Presi- dent Roosevelt." said Brann, "and couple them with my insistence that Quoddy be completed."
Those close to him indicated the Governor intended to remain at the National Capitol until "final action" was taken on Quoddy's future sta- us.
Lack of Congressional approval and Mr. Roosevelt's recent state- ment that no further funds for; Quoddy would be forthcoming with— ‘ out sanction of Congress threatened the doom of the big tidal job.
Army engineers have estimated present funds would carry it along until July 1.

"Having tried all the weapons in the gun cupboard in succession—and having failed to blew his fingers off. he has been driven to reading Sydney Smith's Essays and studying l~Iogari.h's pic- tures."
