EMPLOYERSMAY
 RECEIVE HELP
 HIRE MORE MEN

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. - Elm uloyees who find it difficult to pay for the hiring of additional workers under the provisions of the Nation al Recovery Administration codes may be given aid from funds pro- vided by the Reconstruction Fin ance Corporation. This was reveal ed by General Hugh s. Johnson, as an answer to the nations business men who said they did not have the money to go ahead an increase their wage outlays.
 Tn an elaboration of Johnson's remarks to the Retailers Association, at the hearing of their codes, he said that arbitrary price boosting was unjustified He requested the retailers to help the administration by resenting price increases by the wholesalers.
 Johnson said that some price in creaSes might be necessary due to increased production costs of firms operating under the Blue Eagle but he warned that these price in- creases must not be higher than absolutely necessary. High prices, he contended, will result in the fail ure of the movement.
 T,, II Smith made plea for the ''unlver- sal cooperation in a fair trial" of the National Recovery movement. He asserted that it's failure would mean digging in for a long seize with slow and painful rehabilita- ton. Smith said the plan must not fail through lack of individual CO., operation. Support of the Presi dents plan is the only course for good democracy when he, in the position as President of the United States. has frankly admitted that this is an experiment and that he will be the first to acknow- ledge it's failure if it does not work.
 Smith said that the President asks only loyal cooperation, and this cooperation he should certainly receive"
 In California, next Sunday, it will be Blue Eagle" Sunday. ac- cording to the announcement of Jack L. Warner, chairman of the State Recovery Board. He said that it was hoped that Californians would learn from their pastors just how much the movement means.

The entire Pacific Coast is way a. head of the rest of the nation in adopting the National Recovery administrations program he said. There is no doubt but that the pro- gram will be in full operation by Labor Day, he said.

A Phrenologist Might Help.

While the Department Of Agriculture
announced the appointment a few days
ago Of former Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo
of Mississippi to duties with the Farm
Adjustment Administration and il was
said that his salary would be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 a year. there
Is a d.Sconcerting hesitancy On the part
Of some Of the higher officials Of the
administration TO confirm the an
nouncement and come out flat-footedly
and say that he has been appointed.
This is unfortunate. While Mir Bill
bc's duties have been defined at the
department as assembling current in
formation records for the Adjustment
Administration from news, magazines
and other sources" Mr. Bilbo himself
emphasizes that. with his other quail
fications, he IS something OF phre-
nologist, and he told the Associated
Press in addition that he expects to be
kind OF a shock absorber, trouble

tries describe 1t, a public relations
director"

caused by the lack Of seasoned phre-
nologist. And while there is consider
able talk of doing away with some of
the scientific work Of the department,
everybody ought to agree that the
Farm Adjustment Administration should
not try to weather through the hard
days ahead without a pilot on the
bridge in the form Of public rela-

in the science of judging people by the

A phrenologist should be helpful-in

statements of farmers concerning the
extent of their acreage reductions when
these farmers apply for bonuses

is a question OF veracity, the farmers
should be ordered to Washington and

farmers accompany their applications

Tied for First Place.

the American League of Base Ball Clubs
With all the anxieties that now pre-
Na1 regarding the practical affairs Of
daily existence, there is still keen con-
Germ for the success Of the Nationals,
who have from the start of the season
been chasing the New York Yankees.
Yesterday the gap between the two
clubs. steadily narrowing for ten days
or so, was closed, with Washington's
victory in Chicago and New York s
defeat in St Louis. The two teams
are now tied for first place, each with
the same number Of games won and

Proceed With the National Gallery

The first exhibition of the collection
Of valuable objects Of art presented to
his countrymen by the late John GEL
latly brings to the fore again the prob
lem Of making adequate provision in
Washington for gifts bf that kind. OBJ
viously. building is needed for the
protection and proper display of such
treasures. That has been conceded for
years, and it has been generally agreed
that National Gallery of Art should
be one Of the necessary units of the
comprehensive plan for the greater
Capital. But because the function of
the proposed edifice was superficially
judged to be "idealistic" rather than
practical" there has been delay in
beginning construction.
The passage of time, however. has
brought change in the attitude Of the
people toward productive" as dis
tinguished from mon productive pub
lie works, and the traditional objection
has been eliminated. Instead, it now is
realized that a national gallery would
be an eminently useful institution. On
the one hand, 1t is perceived that since
man does not live by bread alone all
cultural shrines have practical value
as centers Of spiritual inspiration On
the other, 1t is understood that the
Nation would profit in a material sen5e
if the gallery were erected-many ad-
ditional gifts would be offered by
them were available
London has a National Gallery and
National Portrait Gallery as well as
the Tate Gallery and the Wallace Col
lection; Paris has the Louvre and the
Luxembourg. Italy, Germany, Austria,
Spain and Russia have many galleries,
large and small. Only in the United
States has there been procrastination in
providing an appropriate national
repository for the fruits of the esthetic
character Of the people. But at present
there are special reasons why that
tardiness should be corrected Other
important public works are scheduled
to be undertaken as part of the Govern
ments program for creating employ
ment opportunities for the jobless. It
follows that there is no excuse for
further neglect of the National Gallery
project. 1t should be started as promptly
as possible. 1t would give work to thou
sands. When completed, it would be an
enrichment of the city and of the
Nation. Mere announcement of inten-
ton to proceed would attract further
gifts of the type presented by Mr.
Gellatly.

Coal Mining Takes
On New Life

From the Connellsville Courier.
The resumption Of plants OF the Pitts
burgh Coal Co. in the northern end OF
the county and of Frick mines in the
southwestern section Is to be accepted
as very definite proof that the coal in
dustry is undergoing a marked measure
of improvement.
Increasing activity at industrial
plants. with railroads increasing their
requirements and the by-product coke
plants taking larger shipments, the de-
mand has undergone an appreciable
change for the better during the last
few weeks.
The beehive coke trade has not re-
sponded correspondingly, although
contract for furnace coke has been the
outstanding development, but ship
ments hereunder are not scheduled for
some days yet. Once under way there
will be an increase in production. Al
ready shipments are exceeding those Of
last year and have been for two months
or more.
Any improvement in the fueling in
dustry in the county cannot be other
wise than beneficial to business as a
whole. The calling Of men to employ
ment Is perhaps the most noteworthy
feature. 1t will mean the removal Of a
considerable number Of persons from
the relief lists and to that extent will
reduce the demands upon the county
and the local relief agencies.
The several towns of the county are
patiently awaiting a season of revival,
but it is generally realized that the i'm
provement will come slowly. That will
be infinitely better than q sudden boom
which might prove to be but temporary,
In that event the effects would be more
than helpful, the result be-
ing reversion to . deeper depression
than has prevailed.

Public Schools Should
Teach Pupils Expression

To the Edito> of The Star:
Don't you agree that expression
should have much greater place than
it now holds in public school cuIricu-
lum? If the arts are to live and grow
in America. the people must develop a
capacity of appreciation. In our in
dustrial civilization esthetic subjects
have been grossly neglected; The re-
cent failures of the principal opera
groups, of our theater stock companies,
are directly due to a lack of educa-
tional preparation in our public schools.
We Americans are willing to instruct
our children in commerce, finance and
politics, because we want them to make
an adequate living wage and formulate
just government.
Why don't we realize that an ideal
balance Of happiness can be obtained
only through attention to the spread
of artistic appreciation? How can we
hope to achieve a worthy goal If we live
only to earn money to give our chill
dren pleasures which they have not
been trained to appreciate or value? II
We educate the youth of America to
earn money which in turn is used to
educate their children to earn money,
what have We accomplished? Surely
to educate them to understand and
love the finer things of life Is q much
nobler object.
One of Americas foremost expo
nents Of opera said in recent article
that what this country needs to stimu-
late interest in good music is the trans
lation Of opera into our own language.
This is taken as matter of course, but
how can Americans make intelligent,
appealing translations unless devel
oped and educated up to the fulfillment
Of that purpose? Isn't it rather hard
to picture our jazz band leaders COM
posing acceptable versions Of opera?
But these men are jazz leaders because
our public educational facilities have
not given cur public the cultural tastes
to desire anything better. They are the
raw material which might have been
made into something infinitely finer.
The temporary pleasures Of jazz
mad existence may be stimulating in
small doses-but what q let-down aft
erward The pursuit of light pleasure
may give us amusement for short
time, but only cur progress in attain
ing higher standards CT intellectual and
eSthetic appreciation will live( after us
in that bond OF brotherhood which Is
mutual human understanding

Families in Office
In Federal Service

To the Editor of The Star:
In Washington we find not only a
man and his wife on the Government
pay roll, but sometimes nearly every
member of the family.
Instances have been known where
husband, wife, sons and daughters all
had Government jobs. The combined
salaries of such families was quite a
large amount.
There are men fully competent to
fill these positions. These men are
married, have no job, and are in great
need great injustice Is being done
in placing more than one member OF
the family in a Government position.
Another injustice in Government en-
ployment is the giving positions to boys
and girls in the teen age, having no
financial obligations; their parents are
well-to- do and have large incomes.
One may we'll ask when will this injus-
tice cease? They can easily be rene
died, if the proper authorities will look
into the matter.

Carner's Judgment Lauded
AS He Rejects Radio Offer

cism, some of it, as he would probably
admit himself, deserved. But the
fundamental quality of the man is
exemplified in the promptness and deci-
sion with which he has refused to al
low his name or the high Office he
holds to be identified with a project
conducted for private profit"
ITO his eternal credit" asserts the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. "he turned
a deaf ear to all entreaties. He was
not willing to lower the dignity Of his
Office nor to profit pecuniarily by the
tremendous prestige it carries. His
view was that he had no moral right
to trade on the Vice Presidency. Cactus
Jack for long time has been known
to his countrymen for his homely
sterling virtues. He is not averse, 1t
is true, to playing pork-barrel politics
on occasion. But that is no reflection
ON the moral character of the man.
Politicians have been like that since
Pericles was the head man in Athens.
When it comes to the crucial test OF
honesty and integrity the Vice Presi-
dent is all wool and q yard wide. It
requires a man Of the best quality to
turn down an offer Of 81 900 week IN
these days of economic stress. But
Cactus Jack had the courage to do
that because he did not believe the
work offered him was consistent with
his duties as Vice President. All honor
to him!"
"The magazines have been diligent,"
records the Charlotte Observer, in
reaching out for public men who are
induced to become contributors at
fabulous pay, the financial reward
offered being altogether out OF pro-
portion to the value of the service
rendered. Now it is the radio people
who are alive to opportunity. Mr..
Garner did not hesitate to turn this
offer down. He saw the improperly OF
using his official status in manner
of that kind He could not countenance
the proposition to use his of1cial posi-
ton for private gain. He is being gen.
orally commended for his decision In
