in special broadcast over Sta
ton WMAL starting at 10:15
o'clock.
It had been planned to select
80 of the entrants and have them
appear in a special one hour
program. But the jdges had such
a difficult time in holding the
selection to that number from
the more than 500 entrants, that
it was decided at the last minute
to change the original plan.
So Chosen Instead of 30
Instead of 80 they selected SO,
and instead of a one hour broad
cast the station cancelled all
other programs and will give
every one of the So chance to
appear in the special program.

night at 10:15 o'clock and you
will hear a most interesting pro-
gram. And when you have lis
tened, send in your vote as to the

chance to appear on the stage at
Keith's for one week, will go to
the two persons receiving the

gram will appear in special act
at Keith's starting next Friday,
the final week of the RKO
Greater Show Season.

Godfrey, president of the WMAL
Breakfast Club, who first sug-
gested the contest after he had

FERRY REV|VES
LOAN PLEA

Washington business men and
civic organizations will go before
the Public Works Administration
and urge that a loan Of $425, 900
be made to establish a ferry line
to the Eastern Shore, it was an
nounced today.
For three years a fight has been
" red to establish this service,
which would give direct transpor-
tation with the Washington trad
ing area to the 100000 residents
of the Maryland district.
The Chesapeake Beach Railway
Company has asked for the Fed
eral loan to start the service.
Twice before the Interstate Com
merce Commission had recon-
mended the R. F. C. grant a loan
to start the line. but each time
lolitical pressure was brought to
bear and the loan blocked.
Plans for boats and docks have
been drawn up, and if the loan is
granted at this time construction
will be started at once, it was said.
The ferry line would bring prod
ucts from the rich farm lands of
the Eastern Shore directly to
Washington. At present they are
sent to Philadelphia and New York
and reShipped to local markets.
A protest against the loan was
filed Saturday by the Claiborne
Annapolis Ferry Company on the
ground that there is no public
need for the service" This com.
pany has battled the proposed
lima for several years.

SCHOOL roll. UP
IN ARLINGTON

Arlington county public schools
opened today with what appears
to be a new high record of
enrollments.
Officials estimated that 400
more pupils would be enrolled
than last year. when 1859 were
registered.
There are 20 schools in the
county, three of them colored.
They are stated by 149 teachers.
The enrolment will not be
completed until late tonight or
tomorrow according to Fletcher
Kemp, superintendent.

INCOME TAX PUBLICITY

ONE thing to be remembered in the mass
~ of new legislation passed at Washington
is the fact that the President is empowered
to give publicity to income tax returns. A
good many citizens are likely to hope that he
takes advantage of this power.
The disclosures about income tax evasions
in the Morgan investigation would not have
been news at all if we had had publicity for
income tax returns during the last few years
And with those disclosures in mind it is
little hard to sympathize with those who op-
pose such publicity on the ground that it is
an unwaranted intrusion upon the private
affairs of individual citizens
1t took a senate committee to show us
that Morgan and his partners had found ways
of getting along without paying income taxes
Under the new law the President himself
by turn of the hand, could make such infor-
nation automatically available from day to
day.

THE WRONG REMEDY

IT is not likely that the railroads announce
- ment of their intention to reduce basic
wage rates by approximately % per cent will
win any very large amount of public approval
1t can be granted, of course, that the rail-
roads are pretty hard pushed financially.
great many of them need some sort of relief
Not as many of them have come out of the
red during the current revival as we might
like
But this time, of all times, is poor time
for wage reductions. The nation is bending
every effort today to get wages back up, to
stop defation and increase the country's pur-
chasing power.
For one of the nations largest industries
TO go ahead with far-reaching wage reduc-
ton would be little less than catastrophe.
The public will be almost unanimous in insist
ing that some other form of relief for the
carriers be found

THE WORKERS CHANCE

TODAY American wage-earners have an OPP
portunity to achieve through organization
the decent living conditions for which they
have fought so long.
The Norris-La Guardia anti-injunction law
rivets labor's right to organize and bargain
without interference of injunction judges yell
low dog contracts, or other obstacles. Section
of the new recovery act says employees
shall have the right to organize and bargain
collectively through representatives of their
own choosing, and shall be free from the in
reference, restraint, or coercion of employers
Of labor, or their agents, in the designation of
such representatives or in self organization or
in other concerted activities for the purpose of
collective bargaining or other mutual aid of
protection"
The Roosevelt administration is friendly,
its labor department an open ally of unionism,
the public, including enlightened employers,
eager to see the workers attain the maximum
buying power and security possible under the
New Deal.
The new act, Of course, will stimulate the
growth Of union membership as at no time
since the war period There is room for
growth, as shown by the fact that out of
100000 American wage-earners, only some
100000 are organized. The new growth, too,
will be along lines conforming to modern in
dustry.
Under the act, employers will speak through
large industrial groups; labor, too, should ig-
more the old caste lines that stirred endless
jurisdictional disputes and shut the unskilled
out of unions.
Due also is a more militant leadership The
intent and wording of the new act grants
labor equality with capital in organization.
But powerful employer groups are out to
nullify the act Hosiery mill owners in North
Carolina, Alabama and Pennsylvania even now
are discharging men for union activities. Steel
and other groups plan to dominate labor
through company unions. Others will offer
grudgng doles in place of short hours
THE industrial recovery act" says Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins, makes de-
mand on the highest ability of labor to pro-
coed in statesmanlike and cooperative way
with the problems confronting both manage
ment and labor"
Union labor can lead or be led as it
chooses. It's power to choose never was greater
than today.

FORD. INDIVIDUALIST

HENRY FORD, declaring in a recent inter-
= view that there are no radical or drastic
cures for economic ills, seems to reveal the
psychology of one great indivdualistic manu-
facturer who does not recognize the emergence
of a new era.
Mr.. Ford thinks that when people try to
fix the world they only wind up by having
the world fix them.
He is so saturated with the philosophy of
every man for himself that he does not
seem to recognize the vast social implications
of the industrial recovery bill. He said:
see nothing in the program that has not
been in our own program for years, with the
exception of few minor points How the
government agents are to improve the quality
of the thousands of kinds of goods manufac-
tured, lower the cost of their production. and
so get these goods to the people at less cost.
I do not know. -.
However there is no ground for saving
much as yet. Each of us has job to do.
The theory of the recovery act seems to
be that while each concern has Job to do it
faces common problem which involves CO.
operation and new type of governmental
guidance and control which seems alien to
the thinking of Mr.. Ford
However, Mr.. Ford is a practical man of
great common sense. He has dealt with
machines all his life. He thinks machines

THE NEW DEAL-WHERE TO?

THE NEW DEAL-WHERE TO?
ATOW that the smoke has cleared away at
~ Washington, it is pretty evident that the
acts of the last three months have started us
off at one of the most rapid clips we ever
attained
But it isn't yet at all clear in what direc-
ton We are going.
Maybe we are heading toward Socialism;
maybe we are swinging off for state CAPT.
talism of kind that will make Signor Mus
solinis Fascism look watery.
Nobody can tell, today, and so far nobody
seems to care very much. The important thing
is that we are on our way. We can figure out
the goal later.
That, in fact, is one of the most interest
ing things about the new program. We have
passed one great fork in the road-we have
swung away from the free individualism of
the past, and it doesn't look as if we ever
should go back to it-but the main fork still
is ahead of us.
We still have plenty of time to decide
whether we are to go on to outright Socialism
or whether we can build our next century Of
progress on cOnIrOIleu, cdTeluly Regulated
capitalism.
Lump together all those amazing recov-
cry measures-industrial control, farm relief,
Muscle Shoals initiation, mortgage relief, and
all the rest-and you find that we haven't
committed ourselves definitely.
Capitalism gets its chance to prove that
1t can lay down and follow out a plan in
which the interest of the average citizen
will be protected fully
The great fields of manufacturing, trans
portation, finance, agriculture, and dstribu-
ton still are held by their original owners.
If they can produce satisfactory crop dur
ing the next few years, we'll and good,
On the other hand, we are going to get
pretty good idea of what the federal govern
ment can do on its own hook. Is it capable
of running large, publicly-owned industry,
Of overseeing every sort of commercial and
financial activity, of maintaining decent wage
levels and stabilizing money and prices2
We shall have pretty good answers to those
questions in very few years.
Meanwhile, We still are free to make our
choice We are not, at the moment. trying
to go toward anything; We are trying to get
away from something-the depression, low
wages unemployment, hunger chaos, misery.
Where we may fetch up, in the end, is
something for the seventh son of a seventh
son. Meanwhile, We are on our way.

ON THE WAY OUT

TT would be extremely foolish to suppose
= that the current business revival has solved
all troubles which the depression brought us.
Nevertheless, a nation which has suffered
from hard times for three long years can be
pardoned for letting itself goat bit over the
increasing signs of a solid and substantial
pickup.
Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, one of the most
respected business diagnosticians in the coun-
try, told the Ohio Bankers association the
other day that business recovery is going
forward in the United States with a vigor
never before equaled."
Not in IA years, he said had American
business recorded as great monthly ad-
vance as was shown this year from March
to April.
Furthermore, he predicted that the i'm
provement from March through June will
prove to be the greatest ever recorded in any
three months of American history
Our troubles aren't over but isn't the
end of them in plain sight, at last?
