DRAWS PICTURE
OF DIRE NEED

By a Hoosier.
Now that the silk mill strike and
races are over, let us start on a
and some almost as bad. What
about the c. w. A. workers-some
are back, but how?
You get Sc a week and are very
forcibly told you ought to be glad
to get it at all. Either you walk
three to five miles to work or take
transportation out Of your Sc and
$3.50 for a little shanty. Every
week you need fuel to cook with,
if you have anything to cook.
Groceries are sky high.
Do you get government supplies?
You do not, unless you have seven
or more in your family and kick for
it.
When the shoes are off your feet
and your overalls off your body,
what will they do? Give you bur-
lap sack or barrel? Where is our
buying power? The CWA made men
feel like they we're human once
more, even those who didn't know
which end of the pick to use, soon
thought it a badge of honor. But
what now? Poverty, half hungry
nothing to look forward to, and
still believe God is in His heaven.
Well, the primary election went
over big, but am afraid there will
be a lot of has-beens this fall if
thew don'S feed lis good first.

AS former De Paw student,
organizer and first editor of the
old De Pauw Weekly, from which
sprang the present De PAW
Daily, and as a former member of
the Alumni Athletic Association
in indianapolis, I have followed
with interest the career of DR..
Oman as president of De PAW
university. never have seen him,
nor entered in any way into the
controversies, but at this time I
feel impelled to indorse The Times
attitude.
1t seems to me that DR.. Oman
has been the storm center of a
mess ever since he arrived at De
Paw. Undoubtedly he is what
you say-a man of strong person
atty. He seems to thrive as the
center of fuss.
If the trustees feel that they
want a man who exceeds any of
his predecessors in obtaining per-
sonal publicity and keeping the
university in the fight limelght,
they picked good candidate.
Where there is so much smoke
there certainly is some fire, and
those who complain about DR..
Oman must have good cause.

attendance on father Dionne when he saw
it was needed.
Note the gruff warning to Dionne that "hed

Note the a. m. trip of DR.. Dafoe to the
Dionne home, the calm way in which he re-
lieved the trembling midwife when a third
baby had been born and two more were yet
to come.
Note the untroubled way in which this
country doctor regarded the whole thing as
just another case in his long succession of
1900 childbirths, how with kindly dictator

kept life in the five infants by old-faShioned

STEEL STRIKE AND CONGRESS

GONGRESS is doing very dangerous thing
~ in idling around with the Wagner labor
disputes bill. During the last two weeks the
nation has been drifting rapidly toward gen.
eral steel strike. And the total of congress
sional effort to avert that and similar calam-
tiles is exactly zero.
About the only hopeful aspect of this threat
from the beginning has been that it was not
sprung as surprise There has been plenty
of time to meet it: Yet nothing effective has
been done.
The fault rests with the federal govern
ment 1t is all very we'll to offer the easy ex-
cuse that each side in the controversy is stiff
necked and uncompromising. OF course. This
is almost always the case in major dispute
and this attitude of the disputants is the
heart of the problem.
1t is because they are incapable of settling
their own differences that the intervention of
the third party the public representative, is
necessary to avert the clash So to sit back
and blame both sides for being unreasonable is
futile The public interest is at stake. 1t is
definitely the governments duty to step in.
The government has gone into the contro-
versy-that is the executive branch of the
government Federal labor conciliatorS, Ad-
ministrator johnson and Counsel Richberg of
the NRA, Labor Secretary Perkins and Chair
man Wagner of the temporary labor board,
have been in the dispute up to their necks.
But there have been no results.
That is where congress comes in or rather
where it should come in and hasn't. Months
ago. Senator Wagner, on the basis of his ex-
perience as chairman of the inadequate
temporary labor board, informed the President
and congress that existing government ma
chinery was too weak, that a new labor dis
putes law, including a stronger board was
necessary to prevent widespread strikes. Since
then Senator Wagner's point has been proved
by the repeated failure of existing machinery
and BY the lower court decision against the
government in the Weirton steel case.
The President has known all about this
from the start. Indeed it was his ability to
see ahead that led him early last fall to go
as far o. he could toward creating the labor
board which congress had failed to provide
in the original legislation. And in his sue
cesstve executive orders on this subject he

YOUTH FETISH
BRANDED STUPID

BY Forty-Three.
Here's another thing that some
thing ought to be done about-it's
the youth fetish, one of the numer-
Gus adventur IS in stupidity to which
America is addicted.
Even the most rabid youth wor-
shipper, including employers, surely
will concede that a baby must crawl
before it can walk. Yet the most
callow youth can step in and get
job where a man of 40 or As, re-
CARELESS of ability, experience and
physical condition would be turned
down.
1t is good thing that the youth
fetish has not won complete VIC
tory. Otherwise, Paderewski prob
ably would be displaced by some
piano thumper from jazz or
chestra and Giovanni Martinelli
would lose his job in the Metropoli-
tan opera so some high school or
college crooner could have a place.

ABSOLVES COMMUNISTS
OF "BOOING" CHARGE
BY Constant Reader.

BY Constant Reader.
In your editorial, Poor Psycholo-
gy," it is alleged that Civil war
veteran in the Memorial day pa
rade in Cleveland was booed by
"a little group of Communists. You
state that men so abysmally ig-
norant of American psychology can
never convert many Americans"
To use your own language, an
editorial writer so abysmally ig-
norant of communism should never
write about it, or so it seems to me.
Any one who knows anything
about communism, any one who has
ever read Marx, knows that such an
incident just couldn't happen; that
the little group could have been
Communists.

BELIEVES RESPECT FOR
FLAG is WANING

By a Veterans Wife.
While marching down the streets
of our city on Memorial day, was
surprised to see the little interest
shown by the public. Not more
than one-third of the men on the
sidewalks removed their hats as
odd Glory" passed by.
Is there patriotism or reverence
for the flag only in the hearts of
the men who have worn the uni
form and marched under it's starry
folds?
Isn't the younger generation be-
ing taught the tradition of our
glorious republic?
Who will carry our colors in the
next conflict? These marching COM
rades will be physically unfit. Will
their sons be willing to shoulder a
gun seeing the suffering of their
fathers and knowing the abuse be-
ing heaped upon them in the name
of economy and the like to save
money-blood money if you like?
Does not the sale of buddy peoples
so nobly met by our citizens, show
that they at least realize the need
of our boys?
And does it not speak in senti-
ment for the payment in full of the
adjusted service certificates so badly
needed?
Only those who know, or take the
trouble to find out, and see the need
and suffering of these veterans and
their dependents know how much
it would mean to them. After all,
the public eventually will decide,
and not the politicians.
Patriotism-what is the meaning
of the word? Teach it to the chill
dren.

Memorials

Each man for himself a memorial

And he carves it with hand of his

A monument made of his life and

we have been
Is erected for all men to see;
May we build then. oh, God, so in
us others find
A monument worthy of Thee.
