96 SIGNATURES
ASK GUT HOURS
ON NRA|LWAYS
By international News Service

By international News Service
A campaign for passage OF the
Six.hour Day bill for railroads
already backed by 96 members
was under way in the House
today.
The measure was urged as
companion to the Connery 30
hour Week bill for industry, for
which a drive also is being con-
Quoted in the House.
las Signatures Needed
Representative Withrow (R)
of Wisconsin, is leading the
movement for House considera-
ton of the Crosser Six-hour Day
Railroad bill. now pending before
the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
A petition to discharge the
committee from consideration OF
the measure and bring it into
the House was signed by the SO
members in a short time. A
total of las signatures is neces'
Sary.
With the shorter work week
sentiment strong in the House,
it appeared possible that the
measure would be passed before
adjournment, but Senate action
was unlikely.
Representative Crosser (D) OF
Ohio. chairman of the Democratic
steering committee and author
has attempted to discourage action
on the petition. Representative
Crosser said he was 100 per cent
for his bill, but wanted to give the
Interstate Commerce Committee
Of which he is a member, time tt
act.
Although the committee hearc
spokesmen for the railroad
brotherhoods argue that hundred!
Of thousands of jobs would b
created by the six-hour day, the op
position has not yet been heard BY
the committee. Crosser said thu
stock exchange bill and other legiS
1ation had prevented committel
action.
Under the Crosser bill, railroad
would be required to continue tt
pay the present rate of wages
based on the Adamson eight.hou
1aw-for six-hour day.
The President would be required
to name a commission to observe
the working of the six-hour da!
and submit a report to Congress.
A petition for a vote on the Con
merry 30-hour week for industr,
also has been filed in the Housl
by Representative Zioncheck 3D.,
of Washington.

RELIEF AMOUNT

has already been spent for relief
purposes in the District during
the present fiscal year, which has
two months to go, while school ex.

views from two local leaders.

Il can't see why such a large

GROSS INCOME TAX
RETENTION URGED
Resume of Arguments Is
Mailed Candidates.

A drive for retention of the gross
income tax law has been launched
by the state administration with the
mailing out of a bound resume of
arguments for the statute and sug-
gestions for replacement.
A copy of the bound outline of the
laws accomplishments has been
mailed to each legislative candi-
date. The effect on property taxes,
school upkeep and local corporation
returns are analysed thoroughly.
Among the criticism of the law
are the comments Of G.. Wiedman
and L. F. Shuttleworth, president
and secretary of the Associated Re
tailers of Indiana, which seeks to
replace the gross income tax with
a sales tax.

Russian training, the author implies,
at least partially was responsible
for many of AleXander'S faults; for
the dead YugoSlavian monarch was
great admirer of czaristic methods.
When he first succeeded to the
throne, Mr.. Adamic says, with wis
dom, tact and firm inSiStence on
moderation, Alexander, with his i'm
mense popularity among the masses,
could have forced or induced the
parliament to do it's work intelli-
gently, kept adventures and graft
ers out of Office, and thereby made
it possible for able and decent men
to get into politics. But Alexander
was not that sort of king"
Increased Own Allowance
While creating his great military
machine and building his personal
fortress he played one party against
another-SerbS against Croats; Slo-
venes against both; Moslems against
orthodox Christians; the latter
against Catholics.
This" says Mr.. Adamic, created
a spirit under which the various
racial and religious groups became
more attentive to their differences
than their reSemblanceS.
THE king, with his Machiavellian
cunning, had no difficulty in rails
ing his personal allowance to over
million dollars year, and &C
quiring estates and castles without
paying for them. The bulk of his
money he has been sending, since
1922, to banks in other countries"
Parliament Joke
With this sort of thing as a
precedent from their leader, Mr..
Adamic points out, parliament re-
duced itself to an international
scandal and joke, which was what
Alexander wanted. On Jan. 6, 1929,
following particularly revolving
murder on the floor of parliament,
the king issued a manifesto abolish
ing that body and the constitution
and making himself absolute dicta-
tor.
Mr.. Adamic closes his discussion
Of the Yugoslavian king on an &C
curately prophetic note. He may
stay in power one, two, five or ten
more years; but the future is clear
ly and definitely against him."
For people who wish a full and
thorough insight into the entire
Yugoslavian problem, its history, its
ramiflcations, and its present status,
"A Natives Return" will prove a
brilliant, lucid and charming boob.

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

TINE Russian Soviet government has presented
Il DR.. Ivan P. Pavlov with annual pension Of
10000 rubles in honor of his eighty-ffth birthday,
according to adviceS which have just reached this
country In addition, the government has made
fund of 100000 rubles available for the enlarge
ment of the physiological laboratories in Lenngrad
and has established five scholarships of 5000 rubles
each.
These scholarships to be known at the Pavlov
scholarships, will be awarded annually for research
in physiology. The government also announced that
a complete edition of DR.. Pavlovs works will be pub
lished soon by the Soviet Academy of Sciences
There is probably chapter in the history Of
science to duplicate the relationships between DR..
PavlOv and the Soviet government. From the very
start this world famous psychologist, in some ways
the greatest the world ever has known has been
outspoken in his criticisms of the Boshevk govern
ment.
But that government chose to ignore his hostile
attitude and do everything in its power to encour-
age his scientific researches
DR. AVLOVS greatest claim TO fame rests upon
- his discovery Of the conditioned reflex. This
had profound effect upon psychology well as
physiology and has influenced research in both fields
ever since
His historic experiments in this field were per-
formed with dog It was found that when the dog
was shown food his salivary glands were excited to
action. In simpler language the dogs mouth
watered.
Later, Dr. Pavlov tried the experiment of ringing
bell each time the dog was given food. Suisse
quently, when the bell rung, though no
food was shown the dog, his salivary glands be-
gan to function.
The original reaction, DR.. Pavlov called nat
ural reflex. The one he called conditioned
reflex
PROFESSOR JOHN B. WATSON founded his
psychological school Of behaviorism upon DR..
Pavlov's work. Professor Watson sought to reduce
all of animal behavior, including human behavior,
to the basis Of conditioned refexes.
BehavioriSn, as outlined by DR.. Watson, left no
place for such terms consciousness. thought free
will, and so forth According to his theory, the
whole story of any persons life was to be explained
by his conditioning Heredity counted for nothing
in his theory. Environment the things which
brought the conditioning accounted for everything.
Thinking, in his theory, constituted "subvocal
thinking He believed that there point to
talking about consciousness.
Today, the general opinion among psychologists
is that DR.. Watson and his followers carried their
notions to unjustiied extremes. Certainly, most
scientists would disagree with the abrupt way in
which DR.. Watson disrniSses the importance OF
heredity
Most psychologists unwilling to dismiss such
terms as consciousness which have definitely useful
meanings.
