GEN.. JOHNSON
BRANDS C. 0. P.
PIRATE GANG
Party Goes to Dark Ages for
Social Program, Says
NRA Head.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 9.-General
Hugh S. Johnson was expected to-
day to offer a fuller explanation of
the new NRA price-fiXing policy
after speech last night in which
he virtually reversed the original
Interpretation that price fixing was
to be abandoned.
Speaking by telephone to the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers in Chicago, johnson said:
Il can not use too much emphasis
in saying that this policy does not
affect codes already approved"
Hits at Republicans
This would limit application of the
new policy to the minor remaining
uncompleted codes. In the first an
nouncement, the NRA advised
division administrators to seek to
amend and change codes already in
effect to comply with the new
regulations.
The announcement that price
fixing would be abandoned except
to prevent extreme and destructive
low prices which jeopardized code
wages and hours and threatened the
existence of competitors brought
protest among many industries.
General Johnson's address, con-
tanning some of his most sizzling
rhetoric, took some hefty swings at
Republican opponents and other
critics.
Kippered Herring Produced
Said General johnson, referring
to the Republican national commit
tee meeting in Chicago:
Il understand that all the old
dealers also had a roundup out
here. What they did was to go
into the purple silence and produce
a kippered herring in a dark can.
You know, a kippered herring is
one that smells and hasn't got any
-well-insideS.
You will be interested to know
that these pirates are not only go
ing to have a social program but
they have reached way back into
the dark ages of the old deal and
pulled out Mr.. Fletcher to head it
up.
Fletcherize Social Program
I'm other words, they are going to
Fletcherzie> their social program
you know-just the way Mr.. Hoover
taught us to do in the war. You
take almost nothing into your
mouth and then you chew it and
chew it and chew it until it really
is nothing. But what with the
saliva that you have generated and
the WEAKNESS of your jaw muscles
you get up from the table thinking
you have had a full dinner.
Its a great system. It's just like
the man who had the bright idea
of mixing sawduSt with oats, in
gradually increasing proportions to
teach a horse how to live without
food. It was ingenious; it was
clever, but the fool horse died of
starvation before the experiment
was completed.
THAT is exactly what these gen.
tlemen did to you before and now
they want to try it again-social
program from that crew under the
jolly Roger-you might as we'll try
to pick f1eaS out of sand pile with
a pair of boxing gloves on your
fingers"

Today S Science
; BY DAVID DIETZ

CIANT radio tubes capable of handling the cleo
" trical energy needed to run city's street car
system are the latest wonder of science. They at
traced the attention this week of delegates to the
convention of the American Transit Association in
session in Cleveland.
The new tubes were installed recently by the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company
in the airport substaton of the Cleveland Railway
Company.
Within your radio set is tube known the rec
tier It's function is to turn the alternating current
with which the power company supplies your home
into the direct current required for the operation Of
your radio SET
Like your radio set, street car system requires
direct current But as you can readily imagine
there's difference between the amount of current
needed to your radio and needed to run flock
of street cars.
Each of the two rectif1ers installed in the sub
station in Cleveland is 100000 times powerful
as the tubes in your radio SET These rectfer tubes
do a job which otherwise would require motor
generator set The tor-generator is essentially an
alternating current motor driving direct current
generator.
The mercury arc rectifiers have no moving parts.
They function in absolute silence.
THESE recti1ers take alternating current, received
i from the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Com
pany either 1900 900 volts and with the aid
of auxiliary transformer equipment convert it into
direct current 625 to 672 volts for the operation
of the street cars.
Unlike the radio tube the mercury arc rectifer
is not enclosed in glass tube. In this case, the
tube" is steel tank surrounded by water jacket.
Every trace of air has been removed from the tank
In the bottom of the tank pools of mercury.
When the rectiaer is in operation, jets Of mercury
vapor are shot up from the pools. These jets OF
mercury steam are condensed when they strike the
water-cooed walls Of the tank falling back to the
floor of the tank in the form Of drops Of liquid
mercury.
Over and over again, the rectiher is operated,
the jets of mercury steam rise from the pools, only
to fall back again in the form Of mercury rain.
In the top of the tank are iron electrodes Now
when the tube is in operation the mercury vapor is
ronized That is many of the atoms of mercury lose
electrons. These atoms then become positively cleo
trihed TIE electrons. which set free. are mega
lively electrified.
THE eectron stream moves in only one direction.
i It goes from the pool to the iron electrodes
Consequently, it constitutes one-vay bridge for the
electric current.
The alternating current supplied by the power
company the direction of its flow sixty times
second That is why it is called sixtycyce current
But since the eectron bridge will only allow current
to flow in direction, the current which comes
out Of the recers is direct current Its flow Is al.
ways in the same direction This is the sort Of cur
rent required by the street motors.

The Star of David Us. the SUastika

ONE detail which Mr.. Brundage does not appear
~ to have gone into in his dealings with the Ger
mans is the matter Of the salute the colors which
is traditional rite in all Olympic games In fact,
the athletes spend good deal of their time swapping
to attention, facing the mast and saluting set
or another of national colors they are run up
the pole in recognition of victories on the field
or in the water. Then, also, there are the grand
ceremonals and salutes to the colors of the nation
Which happens to be host to the games both at the
start and at the conclusion of the festival.
1t imposes some strain on the imagination to
fancy Americas Jewish athletes solemnly saluting
the Nazi swastika unless special dispensaton could
be obtained to permit them to substitute the rasp-
berry or Bronx cheer. In that case, doubt, they
would be glad to salute with great enthusiasm.
Yet, if they do not salute in the formal manner
German national custom will require that the mob
rush down out of the stands and kick them around
until such time as they can be locked up in the
police station. In due to be sure, the Amer
lean consul will get them out and the German gov
eminent will excuse please" but by that time
the athletes might not be of much to the Amer
lean Olympic team. 1t might even be necessary to
bury them.

AsSurance-IrOn Clad

= ME spectacle of Jewish athlete on the Amer
Il lean team-and there always Jews on the
American teams-saluting the swastika like that of
a Catholic athlete paying similar respect to the
insignia of the Ku-Klux Khan is picture no artist
paint
Mr.. Brundage has evinced gift of diplomacy
which should not be neglected after this Now that
he has obtained the promise Of Naz government
minister, a sportsman and gentlemen, to refrain
from prosecuting the Jews for this limited time and
in this limited connection, perhaps he could induce
the billygoat to smell prettier when wet.
There is just trace of doubt, however, as to
the worth of this pledge. Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh relied on the honor of the who murdered
his child. The man promised to return the baby
for $4,000 and didn't. Now the Germans have got
the Olympic games and the rest of the world has
only the promise of the Nazi government to guaran-
tee decent treatment for some of the participants.
1t is hardly what you could call ironcad assurance.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 29.-
With the "old guard" in complete
control, the Republican party, led by
Robert Moses, its gubernatorial de-
signee, today opened a campaign
against the New Deal in President

The new leadership swept to VIC

removal of Chairman w. Kingsland

Nomination of Moses foretold de-

Ten persons were known dead to-

The London Blackpool express

where the tracks were raised ten
feet above the ground level.
Two coaches of the express were
