"0n Wrong Side of Thirty"

That times change but people do
not is neatly illustrated by the more
than two-century -old phrase, "On the
wrong side of 80 if she be day, u
sums up in a nutshell the general
conception that man reaches his peak
at 80, after which, his decline, i'm
perceptible though it may seem, starts.
The earliest recorded use of this
expression is by Jonathan Swift in his
Polite Conversation, Dialogue l." in
the line:
Shes no chicken; she's on the

This proposed measure, perhaps,
the most widely discussed bit of leg
islation in pre-legislativechatter, is
far from complete as yet. Many
changes may occur in it before it
reaches the floor Of the house, but a
fairly defininte outline of what its
sponsors would like to see enacted is
known
In its simplest form, the bill would
call for expenditure of around $4,000
for the first year of the patrol.
1t would be financed from state
highway funds, derived from gaso-
line taxes. In addition any surplus
%accruing from fines paid by law vio-
lators would be used to ease taxpay-
ers' burdens in supporting the patrol.
The patrol and it's activities
would be governed by the state high
way commission, a non-political body.
At first the patrol would consist
with automobiles and assigned to rov-
Of between 10 and 20 men, equipped
ing details along the heaviest routes
of travel. Headquarters would be
established in larger key cities, but
the entire state would be %patroled.

Fears that the Democrats would
pack the halls against the Republican
senatorial candidates were expressed
today by Senator Daniel o. Hastings
of Delaware, who declined the invita-
ton Of Senator James Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois to arrange a series of
joint debates between the Repub-
hcans and the Democrats.
Hastings is chairman of the Repub-
lican Senatorial Campaign Committee
and Lewis, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Committee.

ings iE his letter to Lewis, with so
many Democrats employed by the
Government, mere suggestion of the
Democratic political boss would send
them headlong to such a meeting and
they would occupy a large part of the
front part Of the hall.

to obligate my committee to take part
in any such program, and while your

that one of your first suggestions if
we enter into any such agreement
would be for you and myself to meet.
Only BalIyhoo Left to Democrats.
"That would be a wholly unfair
contest. Your keen wit and your pure
English would overcome the weakness
of your argument. know you are
quite sincere when you say all bally-
hoo should be avoided, but from my
point of view the only thing left for
the Democrats in this campaign is
truly ballyhoo."
Senator Hastings, while he agreed
with Chairman Lewis that the issues
of the coming campaign were the
most important since the days Of the
reconstruction after the Civil War,
said;
1.-THE Democratic party has in the
past Is months made the issues and
we propose to hold their feet to the
FIRE"
The Republican chairman took ex-
ception to the Lewis proposal on sew
eral counts. He said that Senator
Lewis apparently limited the subjects
to be debated to the constitutionaity

proposed to be debated by Senator
Lewis were of great importance. He

PLANS ADVANCED
FOR N. R. A. REVISION
Proposed Five-Man Board Studied
by President Undergoes
Changes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Reorganization of the N. r. A.
looms now as one of the principal
problems confronting President Roose-
welt.
One tentative reorganization plan
which has been receiving considera-
tion is based along the lines Of a
military organization.
A proposed five-man board with
each member directing the activities
of sector" or group of industries
is included in this tentative plan,
Eleven divisions would be created
instead of the existing eight and
various codes would be shifted and re-
grouped to make for uniformity and
more efficient administration
At the top of the new set-up as
outlined in the tentative chart, would
continue to reign Hugh S. johnson
as administrator The board, it is
assumed, would have only supervisory
powers always subject to the admin
istrator's final say.
The five members would be called
assistant administrators. The first
sector would handle producing in
dustries and would have four divi-
sions-food, textiles, basic materials
and chemicals-each to be headed by
a divisional administrator. The sec
ond sector would embrace the equip
ment industries and would have three
divisions-equipment arts and crafts,
and construction.
The third sector would cover serv-
ice industries with divisions for public
utilities, finance and commerce, and
professions and services.
Distribution trades would be in
cluded in sector four with only one
division covering wholesale and re-
tail trades. while sector five would
include field administration
