If we have to make speeches until morning!' Austin on Senate filibuster. Washington, D.C., July 1. The Senate met at noon yesterday and kept going until 1:53 the next morning. Reason was that a republican bloc, opposed to allowing the President continued power to devalue the dollar and the Treasury to dip into the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund, filibustered until midnight, at which time the power was supposed to lapse. Some opinion held that the power could again be granted, even after that time, so Senator Warren R. Austin told reporters that he had a list of 10 Senators who would speak if it held the Senate in session until dawn. The monetary authorization was, as was promised, 'talked to death'

Bureau of Standards breaks up plates for a reason. Washington, D.C., May 23. Just about everything manufactured in this country is made the subject of tests in the Bureau of Standards here. Even the dinner plates used in restaurants go through a series of tests in order that the government may known just how long it can expect them to last in usage. R.F. Galler, Chief of the White Wear section, is here operating an impact machine to determine the amount of force necessary to cause those germ-concealing chips in a plate. Previous in this test, the plate is ground with porcelain to find out how long a plate may be handled before it loses its gleam, and samples are heated to find out how much heat is necessary to cause cracks to appear in the glazing

Introducing a resolution in the House to that effect, the legislator said, ' the American Indian was no worse than some of our own ancestors, and there is no more reason to memorialize his misdeeds than there would be to set up a monument to the witch burners of Salem'
