A Bad Name, Bud No. peserpedlu

II ME monotonous chivalry and amity which had
characterized the Americas cup races for all
those years gave saboat racing bad name with the
citizens which not entirely deserved. They had
had their little fouls and squawks in yachting right
along. In one interesting within the last few
years a Sailboat on Long Island sound, failing to
show much foot the wind and her spread
of lingerie deserved discovered to be dragging
a sort Of hte-tail of tin and old buckets.
This was good foul as anything that Jack
Sharkey performed in all his distinguished career,
but for some reason it never exploited properly
and the sport of saiboat racing was denied degree
of earned prestige with the citizens.
On the social side of things, the champion loser
at the little sports and pastmes in the gambling
casino this time not any Wall Street financier,
but sports writer who up a deficit of $4,000
and left the management piece of paper to remem-
Der him by. Journalism is coming on. 1t is to be
hoped, for the good name of the profession, that
the journalist in question will take up his paper in
good time.
But even if he should only pick up 10 per cent
of it, that still would be for fnanciers of
the Newport set to look askance at journalism The
Newport f1nanciers laid much paper themselves in
the way of bonds and stocks in the era of beautiful
nonsense whose holders would be lucky to cash in
at 10 per cent.

Accusing Each Other on Sight

THERE is a very good legal theory behind this
Il rule, the idea being that the defendant deserves
his chance to enter counter-Squawk, relating to the
incident. In the learned and honorable pro-
feSSion of the law, distinguished members of which
had hand in the writing of the rules for the Sa-
boat race this is routine procedure. Consequently,
persons who the Ward Line for injuries suf-
fered in the Moro Castle disaster may themselves
be sued for playing with matches failing to turn
in their life belts reaching the beach.
The committee therefore advised Mr.. Sopwith
that to entertain his belated squawk would be to
violate fundamental principle of squawkery.
Consequently when they sailed again both sports
men were to be flying the squawkflag from the
start of the Taking chances this time. they
accused another on sight and the great interna-
tional sail boat closed out fttingy with both
sides sore, according to the highest traditions of in
ternational sport.
After thirty-nine years, it was a grand revival
in yachting of the same sporting spirit which inn

in July, according to figures issued
today by the A. F. of L., arbitrary
action along these lines is consid-
cred a distinct possibility.
If some such step is not taken,
passage of thirty hour week legi-
lation by congress is more prob
able than at any earlier session.
The federation is supporting, this
fall, only candidates who promise
to vote for their short work week.
THE cotton garment contro-
l. versy is almost as old as
NRA. This industry, making
shirts, overalls and pajamas, has
been largely non-union. The dress
manufacturing and mems clothing
industries, each having contracts
with organized labor, signed codes
providing for shorter working
hours and higher wages.
Before long charges were made
that exploiting employers we're
seeking sanctuary under the cot
ton garment code and were COM
peting unfairly with manufactur-
ers operating according to the
higher standards of the dress and
mems clothing codes.
The charges were threshed out
at stormy hearing last June.
General Johnson and President
Roosevelt thought the matter over
for two months and then decided
that the cotton garments indus
try ought to be required to hire
more workers and pay larger
wages.
If a strike is called, it will put
to the test new procedure for
handling labor troubles just an
nounced by the National Labor
Relations Board.

Just q Defense Mechanism

DUT let It be remembered that in the beginning
ID General Hugh S. johnson actually struck terror
into the hearts and minds of those men who ran
most readily under that easy label 1.-The vested inter-
ests" He was fuzzy-wuzzy, who broke the pluto
cratic square, Perhaps broke" is too strong word.
He nicked it. The ranks reformed and the general
never made a second successful charge.
am one of those who believe that his intentions
at all times we're honorable He failed partly out OF
Ignorance partly out of fundamental weakness OF
character didn't take the tough boys very long 10
find out the generals violence of expression was
what the Freudans call defense mechanism
He frightened them at first because the perform
ance which he put on as the uncompromising dlcta-
tor of industry seemed so plausible. Few men are
as eloquent as General Johnson when the spirit
moves him. He is the best phrase maker OF point
ical generation Although it was in husky oari-
tone he could make words sing and the tune was
one of fervOr and determination.
I think the newspaper owners we're the first to
find him out I believe the code which the pub
fishers gained in Washington was the decisive de-
feat in the career of General Johnson 1t was per-
haps his most difficult problem.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-09-28

The final strawS that finished
johnson with Roosevelt came only
recently. One was his reference
to conferences with Justice Bran
deis. This did not go down well
with the President.
The fact was that friend of
johnson took him to see the SUI
preme court justice one day with
out Brandeis knowing he was
coming.
A MOTHER straw was Johnson's
L n statement that textile labor
leaders had violated specific
pledge to him when they declared
their strike. This was fatty dis
proved by the Presidents special
textile labor board.
Another thing which riled
Roosevelt was Johnson'S state
ment that his heart bled" for
George A. Sloan, chairman of the
textile institute. This came after
the President had secured an ex-
plicit promise from johnson that
he would not get embroiled in the
textile strike. Roosevelt also got
a report on JohnSon's general be-
havior when he made the speech
and it did not go down well.
Thus one of the most colorful,
dynamic and at one time most
genuinely useful members of the
Roosevelt family gradually eased
himself out of big influence in the
New Deal.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

A LTHOUGH society has grown quite bit more
lenient in its attitude toward victims of vener-
cal diseases, there still is hesitation on the
part of such victims to apply for immediate and
authentic medical aid
AS result, serious consequences may come from
cases that could be cured if treated quickly.
In the case of locomotor ataxia particularly,
treatment to be beneficial must be immediate II a
person with this condition delays seeing reputable
physician for any length of time, the change in the
tissues of the nervous system is great that not
much can be DONE
However, under any circumstances, active and
intensive treatment may be helpful.
Although only from to per cent Of persons
who have syphilis, the most serious venereal dis
order, eventually develop locomotor ataxa 1t is now
we'll established that every case Of locootor ataxa
develops from syphilis.
THERE is some evidence to indicate that special
Il form of spirochete-the organism which causes
syphiliS-is responsible for locomotor ataxia It is
believed to reside in the nervous system.
The condition usually develops from five to
twenty years after the original syphitc Infection
but, Of course, it may appear at almost any period
after infection
Majority of cases of locomotor ataxia occur in
men past 40 years Of age, although cases do occur
in women and even in children.
Symptoms Of locomotor ataxa by which the doc
tor makes his diagnosis rather definite. In the
first place the reexes like the knee jerk begin to
disappear.
~ EASON Tor disappearance OF these reflexeS Is the
IN fact that the disease blocks the path in the
spinal cord along which stimulation for the action
ordinarily travels. There changes in the re-
actions of the eyes and also in stability of the body.
Severe pains which develop in locomotor ataxia
are sharp, stabbing, shooting ones. occurring most
commonly in legs and arms. These dart from place
to place and last for one two seconds. They are
so characteristic that they called lightning pains.
Sometimes these pains occur in the internal
organs When the internal organs affected. the
disorders are called crises In such conditions there
is paroxysmal pa n in the abdomen, with pallor,
sweating. sometimes vomiting, and good deal OF
distress.

toned to the brisk determinations of the ring ana
ball yard, something too nSpid for their interest.
But it will have to be acknowledged that when
they did shed their refinement and get down to
squawkng, the yachtsmen more than caught up on
their arrears of squawkage. Mr.. Sopwith complained
of something which Mr.. Vanderbilt had done and
the committee disallowed his moan on the ground
that one good squawk deserves another. He waited
until the heat was run and did not break out his

back to the buoys. The committee, very properly,

modify any of the agreements it
approves. the regulatory powers it
was supposed to exercise in lieu of
the antitrust laws would be a
dead letter.
Another serious strike, involv-
ing workers in forty-two states, is
threatened also if the Presidents
order is not obeyed.
The cotton garment industry,
not to be confused with the cotton
textile industry, is the second party
in this dispute.
TINE President ordered it, six
l. weeks ago, to reduce work.
ing hours 10 per cent and to pay
as much for the new 36-hour week
as it has been paying for 40 hours.
The industry, with former NRA
deputy as managing director of its
code authority, said several weeks
ago it would not obey, and or
dered counsel to take legal steps,
if necessary" There have been
indications since then that it
might agree to compromise or
might seek to delay the showdown.
Other industries are watching
the dispute with close attention.
This is the first time the Presi-
dent has attempted to use his au-
thority to modify codes and some
of them fear, if he is sustained,
that other orders will be issued.
Last March, the President asked
all industries to reduce working
hours 10 per cent and raise wages
10 per cent by voluntary action,
and most of them did nothing
about it. With another winter APP

Too Much to Learn and UnIearn

IL of public opinion For just little while he
stood as one Of the boldest men in America. For
week maybe ten days, he took the attitude that ne
would and could tackle the united force of the
American press. Then the newspaper owners began
to crack down and johnson understood for the first
time precisely what that phrase meant. The rules
established by the Marquis of Queensbury hardly
we're respected in this onslaught. Johnson gave in.
From that day on he was licked mar. There
was an emptiness in the bravest words he
uttered.
Perhaps this theory which 1 advance is over

contended. He was just dumb. He had too much TO

It can not be said even now that he is the darling
of big business He swatted his own class vigorously
for a time. And though his crusade collapsed some
