Tugwell Bill Will
 Be Heavily Opposed
Study of Testimony of Witnesses Reveals OverwheIm=
 ing Opposition to Measure in Present Form

Washington, Dec 15.-A study of testimony of witnesses before the senate subcommittee hearings on the Tugwell bill has revealed an overwhelming opposition to the measure in its present form.
 Opposition to the bill and it's provisions was voiced by members of the committee in the course of the hearings and by some 50 witt nesses who testified.
 While representatives of con- sumer organizations differed in their expressed opinions of the bill, the evidence revealed prepond- erance of sentiment against the measure. Organizations of news papers, magazines, radio broadcast CTS, manufacturers and retailers represented by spokesmen were un- animously opposed to the measure.
 c. c. Parlin, speaking for the National Publishers association, and for magazines with more than 50,000,00O readers, said the bill if enacted, would bring seri-

A Daily Story
 Real Life

Sorenson's Garage where he used to manicure and gas up cars. ELI Sorenson was sitting in the gar. wall and his feet tucked up on tho table. Caleb entertained the fool idea that Eli hadn't moved since he left town. But he let the front of his chair drop when he recog- nized Caleb.
 "Hiye.' he said. Heard you'd come back. "Where you been"
 "Oh, here and there. I'm inter- ested in airplanes," Caleb said. This is my manager. Mir Hast ings, meet MT Sorenson." "say, Caleb, Glad
 You Come Home"
 "H'ye," said Eli. "Say. Caleb, glad you come home. Wanted to talk to you bout somethin'. You remember fixin' Bunny Frazer'a car, long bout three years back ?"
 "Why-why, yes,' Caleb said, recalling the job clearly, though with difficulty. "Why?"
 "What'd you do on the carr"
 Why, I put in a new differen- tial. And filed down the clutch. And put in two new spark plugs. And, let's see. I put in two new bearings in the steering gear"
 By cracky!" Eli shouted. jump ing up from his chair. q knew Bunny was tryin' to outsmart me! I told him you'd put in them bearin's and he said you'd never goin' to bill him for 'em.''
 UMoop In COW ha nauar haard nf you flying the Atlantic?" Slim asked Caleb as they walked away.
 Maybe he did and maybe he didn't. Caleb said. "But If he did, it didn't impress him." Ellis indifference had given him shock. In the two weeks that had elapsed since his landing with his plane in Canada, he had gotten the habit of heroes. Without any too much conceit, he had come to believe that everybody in the world en- vied him. Now, he wasn't so sure. He thought of Mary Jennings. the girl to whom he had been tacitly engaged when he left Havenville and whom he had not thought of for a year now. T want to go down the street a ways, Slim" He said, T want to meet another old friend. I'll see you at the house later"
 He walked four blocks and at the edge of the town came to Mary's house. Mary, herself open ed to his ring. Her mouth was smiling but her eyes were cold.
 Glad to see you. Caleb" she said. 'T saw in the papers that you'd flown the Atlantic. Quite a stunt"
 Mary" Caleb said, '.I wished I'd written you moro often. But you know how things are in the city. A man gets so busy
 'Certainly.' Mary said. "I un- derstand. That was childish af- fair, anyhow. I'm really in love now. Going to marry Tom Has brook"
 Slim was talking to Ma Martin when Caleb came in and took his arm and led him into the living room.
 "Got that Trans Atlantic con- tract with your" he demanded.
 Sure" said Slim.
 "Give it to me- Caleb said. "Im signing it before they change their minds. You were right. Slim. Fame sure passes. And it doesn't impress many people, not in Hav- enville anyhow. You know what | am. I'm just a mechanic with wings"

There was Senator Brundage and Charlie Zimmerman, editor of the Havenville Bugle, and Rev ZelIial Maynard, pastor of the First Pres byterian church. And Mrs Michael Martin, Caleb's mother.

Caleb looked up at him with a reproachful grin, but he wasn't as annoyed as he looked. He wrote his name with a flourish and said to Slim Hastings, his manager:
 "Well, let's go. Slim"
 Are you braced?"
 "All set Caleb assured him. Don't let the danes get you. They're so soft they's tough. And no more autographs on the way. We got plenty business and we'll be in Havenville within an hour" Caleb almost laughed out loud at Slim telling, him what to do. Slim seemed to forget that man like himself who had made a record flight from Ireland to Nova Scotia might be able to take care of himself on the ground as well as in the air. He'd do just as he pleased.
 So He Started
 To Follow Slim
 So he started to follow Slim through the car, seeming to stare straight ahead but really watching the effect the sight of him had on people. It was like giving them the needle. They acted the same way now as they always did. An old lady was knitting in the first seat, facing forward. She looked up as Caleb entered. She dropped her knitting and reached for her autograph album but Slim and Caleb were past her before she could get up from her seat. Two business men were in the next one and young woman across the aisle from them. The three rose as one and ignoring Slim made a concerted rush at Caleb. Caleb again looked reproachful but stopped to write his autograph in three different books. By the time he had finished, the whole popula- tion of the car was upon him.
 Slim broke them up and rescued Caleb but he had to do it three times more before he was able to slam the compartment door in their faces. He sat down all red and mad.
 Hell, Caleb" he said, you don't crash through them right. You spoil them. What you have to be is tough. You don't mean anything mobile or a four-alarm fire. Some- thing they've read about in the papers,"
 "Oh, don't know, Slim,' Caleb objected. After all, they don't sec a/ fellow like me every day. They'll be bragging to their grand children that they shook hands with Caleb Martin. the guy who flew the Atlantic Ocean alone from cast to west in the fastest time in history. I like to give 'em a break"
 "Yeh?" Sims gaze was cu- rious. "So you like to give 'em a break, do you? Well, all I got to say is, just try and remember how anxious they were to see you when you were a garage mechanic back in Havenville, that home town of yours, before you made the flight. I bet they weren't fighting to get your autograph or to shake your hand then. And try to remember they'll be feeling the same way as soon as the next good murder breaks. Caleb, much as I hate to admit it, you're just an item in the days news.

Something erased lovely smile Borrowed from angels for us awhile Something knows his soft sweet voice Never can make us again rejoice. Something stopped his great big heart, Gods image here-His counterpart Something stied those beautiful hands So delft and gentle-at your commands.

REGULATION OF BUSINESS

A great experiment in the regula-
tion of business is soon to be at
tempted by the government. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's radio talk of May
gave some idea of the form it will
take. The first thought about it
was suggested a few weeks ago, by
proposition to require the indus
tries to operate on a 80 hour basis.
That idea has since been modified,
as it seemed to many to be too in
flexible.
Each industry is likely to be put
on its good behavior, with a man
date to stop excessive production,
provide fair wages and working con-
ditions, and prevent exorbitant
prices, accomplishing these results
through trade associations. AS such
forms of cooperation might be held
to violate the antitrust laws, it ap-
pears probable that some modifica-
tion of those laws will be permitted.
Over these efforts of the indus
tries to regulate their own abuses,
the government will maintain a
watchful eye. Industries that show
a disposition toward unfair compe-
tition or exorbitant profits or unfair
treatment of workers, can expect to
feel the power of the government.
The idea that bureaus and COM
missions in Washington could issue
plans and schedules governing pro-
duction in all factories, seems too
elaborate for successful operation.
The work would be too much for hui
man intelligence. 1t would pile up
in such vast mountains that the in
dustries would be stif1ed by delays
and red tape.
Now we shall see how far the |
Industries can regulate themselves. |
The boys will probably be given
much freedom, subject to restraint
Il they don't behave. We refuse to
lie them hand and foot, we give
hem liberty of action. We tell
hem the results of fair wages and
prices we expect If they get the
we shall bless them. If
hey don't, they can expect to feel
he chastising hand of the Great
Father.
