RAILS CONTEST
PENSION LAW

ConteSting the conStitutionality
of the new law providing a retire
ment system for railroad en-
ployes, 1877 railroad companies ap-
piled to the District Supreme
Court today for an injunction to
restrain the Railroad Retirement
Board and its members from en-
forcing the law.
The companies contend Con-
greSs exceeded its powers under
the Constitutions comm erc e
clause in enacting the law last
June on the ground it is unrea-
sonable, arbitrary and places an
unreasonable burden on the COM
panies.
The complaint points out the
law will cost the companies $60,-
100000 for the first year on the
present payrolls and will increase
in cost annually.
Although there are more than
100000 employees now on the
rolls, the companies allege there
are 100000 not engaged in inter
state commerce, who draw total
salaries of $3OO,OOO,OOO. who would
be benifited by the law. Justice
James M. Proctor, after hearing q
portion of the companies case,
put off the hearing until WeQnes-
day.

ARTIST found.
DEAD ON ROAD

Positive identification of the
man killed at the Virginia end Of
the Key Bridge last night as
Frederick William Geare, 80, dis
tinguished Baltimore artist and
interior decorator, was made to-
day.
The body was identified at the
District Morgue by his son, Cliff
ford Geare, also of Baltimore.
Meanwhile police were search
ing for blue sedan. seen to
speed from the scene a few mo-
ments before the body was found.
Police believe the elderly man
either was beaten to death and
his body hurled from the car or
was the victim of a hit-and
driver.
At Georgetown Hospital, where
the body was taken, doctors
found deep gashes on the skull
which led them to believe he had
been beaten. At the morgue,
however, an autopsy showed in
ternal injuries, leading to the
belief he may have been struck
by speeding car.
Mr.. Geare, an authority on
ecclesiastical art, left Baltimore
last Friday to come to the Capital
and nothing had been heard from
him since.

NRA PRICE RULE
Up At HEARING
BY International News Service

BY International News service
Fate of the NRA's important
practice of forcing the filing OF
prices under industrial codes prob
ably will be determined by hear
ing before the Federal Trade Com
mission which began today.
Three rubber companies have
challenged the provision in the
rubber code which forces them to
file prices. They are the Phillips
Baker Rubber Company, of Provi-
dence, R. l.: the Goodyear Rubber
Company, of Middletown, Conn,
and the Lacrosse Rubber Mills
Company. of Lacrosse, Wis.
Attorneys for the NRA main
tanned that the Federal Trade
Commission had no power to alter
codes, but merely the power to de-
termine whether there have been
any monopolistic practices under
the code.

AAA HEADS FEAR
PROF|TEER|NG
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, which has been
trying to raise prices, today be-
gan sharpening its weapons for
action against the food profiteer.
With Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace predicting higher prices
as result of the devastation
caused by the prolonged drought,
some AAA officials were frankly
predicting widespread profiteer-
ing in some areas.
May Resort to Licensing
Use of the most drastic pow
erS of the AAA, including licens-
ing Of professors, may be re-
sorted to, under present law,
however, the department lacks
authority effectively to enforce
licensing. and Congress declined
to give the courts injunction
power.
The entire drought situation, in
Guiding both the question of relief
and profiteering, may be laid be-
fore a conference to be held by
President Roosevelt this week.
The President planned to confer
with Mr.. Wallace and with Aubrey
Williams, assistant to Harry L.
Hopkins, Federal relief admins
traitor.
Relief Fund Inadequate
The 100000 drought-relief
fund granted by Congress is ad-
mittedly inadequate. The full peak
of the load. officials say. will not
be reached until winter. Hundreds
of thousands of farmers, particu-
larly in the wheat regions where
gardening and dairying have not
been a part of the farmers life.
must be fed by the Government
next winter.
A special session of Congress is
considered unlikely. At the close
of the last session Congress
granted Mr.. Roosevelt authority
to use huge fund for direct re-
lief. He can call upon unexpended
balances of the RFC and the Pub
lie Works Administration for ready
cash.
Secretary w alIace remained
close to his office, while his aids
considered both the profiteering
problem and revision of the entire
farm relief program for next year.
$1.5O Wheat Foreseen
A possibility of wheat soaring
to $1.50 a bushel. corn to ST. and
other feed and food crops going
upward was seen by some officials,
should speculative fever grip the
exchanges, prices. it is believed,
would be carried even higher.
Vegetables and similar crops
which feed teeming millions in
the cities have suffered in the
drouth as we'll as the major
crops, continued drought seriously
curtail the late potato crop.
With this situation facing the
country, the AAA is planning to
stimulate production of some
crops next year. 1t plans to con-
tinue to exercise control, in line
with Secretary Wallace's idea of
a planned farm economic life.
All restorations will be lifted on
some crops. On others, under
tentative plans. reduction would
be enforced on poor lands and
stimulated on better lands.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN'


T~HE latest tendency, under which hope you
Il haven't fallen, has been to group all disturbances
of the bowls under the general term of colitis
This is due particularly to the fad that arose
some years ago for washing out the bowels with all
kinds of apparatus Colon washing began to be
exploited as a means of curing almost any kind
of disease.
If you'll look up your history, however you'll
find strangely enough how these fads have re-
peated themselves from era to
AS long ago II A. D, the Roman historian,
Plny. told how the Egyptians used to wash their
bowels in exactly the same way that the method is
exploited in our modern times.
Again in the sixteen century, bowel washing had
a terrific vogue and the French emperor Louis XIV,
is supposed have taken several thousand such in
testinal washings.

1T has become necessary to
create collective power, to mobilize
collective resources, and to work
out technical procedures by means
of which the modern state can
balance, equalize, neutralize, off,
set, correct the private judgments
of masses of individuals. This is
what l mean by a compensated
economy and the method of free
collectiviSm.
1T is a conception which is not
spun out of abstract theory. 1t is
rather an induction from many
experiments actually undertaken.
The oldest example of the method
is to be found in the operation of
a highly developed central bank.
The function of such a bank is to
correct the decisions of the men,
Der banks. It is supposed to con-
tract credit when they show a
tendency to over-eXpand credit,
and to make credit abundant
