Washington. June 14--Most of tho news printed about the steel strike has pictured tho union leaders as pretty difficult fellows Go deal with. But In the private opinion of General Johnson, their bosses are a lot worse.
 Johnson has offered comprom. Iso after compr0mise to tho steel barons, only t0 have his offerings knocked down iiko ninesplns.
 The first Johnson proposal was for establishment of m arbitrhs ton board similar Co that set up to handle the automobile labor problem. This board consists Of one representative from labor, one from employers and one an impartial chairman named by the president.
 THUMBS DOWN
 But the steel barons turned thumbs down. Such \ board they snid was too radical. Then to dom onstrate their desire to co. operate. they made \ counter. proposal.
 This was esta blishment Of q board Of i've, two representatives Of employers, one from the A. Y. Of l.. union, ono from the com. pany union and an impartial chairman.
 In practice this meant cor. tain vote of three to two against organized labor. Johnson thank. ed the barong for their mag. nnnlm0us cooperation" ana vetoed the deal.
 BARONS HOLD OUT
 But tho barons refused to be discouraged. They brought for. ward another plan. This time it was n board of three, m impar. tInl chairman, one representative Of employers, one to Do elected by all the steel workers.
 In actual practice, of course, this meant that the latter would be company union man, The operators knew this. John. son knew 1t. So again he turned thumbs down.
 The tug.Of.war from tIen on was 6 hattie uphill struggle For the NRA chief. Argue and plead as he would, the steel barOns grimly refused to budgc an inch toward allowing . representative Of the 4. r. of l.. steel union on the proposed arbitration body.
 Faced by unyielding obduracy Johnson finally proposed q board of three: m impartial chairman, m employer, and c union man, but none to have any connection with the steel industry.
 To this the steel barons finally assented. They had virtually won their point.
 HOW ITS DONE
 Senator George Norris knows just how his amendment to abolish the electoral college came to be defeated.
 He withholds the names. But this is the story:
 The day tho issue was to be voted on a well-known senator came to him.
 "(;cOrge," hc said, "1'm for yOssP prODOsiflOn. 1 think it Is q most desirable reform, and | want fO vote for lt. But my cO!- league Is against you. ! don't want to embarrass him, sO :"
 q understand" Norris said. An hour later the colleague came to him, remarked:
 "Senator, I'm in quandary. I'm for your amendment, but my colleague is not. He is up for re- election, as you know. don't

Moscow Letter
BY JOSEPH U. BAIRD United Press Stan Correspondent

Moscow (UP).--A Soviet poll. tician, unlike some of his Ameri. can brothers, does not feel c0ns strained to kiss babies, or distfi. buto i0liypops to children. But neither does he neglect them.
 A case in point Is Paul Pesti. shev, so.calied "politlcai boss" of the Ukraine" who was sent to Kharkov recently by the poiit. bureau. postishev, . friend Of Josef stalin's and . mar with high political ambitions, has on. dcared himself to the population of Kharkov by various little at. tentions such as an American con. gressman might show his con. Btltuents.
 Recently he TO ceiycd a letter from q nine.yearsold 9iri who com. plained that she and her friends public gardens.
 Instead of handling this minor matter to c subordinate, P0stlshev personally replied to the child.
 "Comrade Linoshka," he wrote, q share your indignation. Of course you can play in the garden, It was made for that. Only, ask you, don't run on the grass and don't pick the flowers. ureetingsI'
 The trials of true love under Soviet law were experiences re. gently by q young Moscow bride. Tho two met while the physician was on 6 vacation In Odessa and the girl accompanied him back .to Moscow where they intended to De married.
 On arriving here they went to the marriage bureau (viewing, in. cidcntaIly the ever.present sign in such places: "KissinE is lnfectu. ous") and asked to have theiF vows registered.
 The registrar looked over their passports. (Each Soviet cltIsen carrier q passport authorizing him to live in Q certain town).
 "Your marriage cant be per- formed here," the attendant said. "The woman has no Moscow pass port. It is for odessa" And the woman could not obtain Moscow passport without being the d0c- tors wife, which would assure her Joint occupancy of his room in this overcrowded city with its acute housing problem. The pair could not afford to re- turn to odessa to be married, so they decided to live together with out being registered.
 But when the young man took his bride to his apartment house, the managing committee said she could not be registered as living there without Moscow passport. Nevertheless. the girl stayed, moi daring to leave her room Tor feat she would be denied entry on her return.
 Finally, the pair borrowed some money to pay their train fare Co | Odessa. But they. were nve min utes late at the station and thelf ticket expired without being used. They're still trying to figure a way out.

Wind Erosion

A large part of the country has been learning about wind erosion. Successive years of drouth in the middle west have brought about widespread, freakish dust storms. Recently cloud of dust blank eted part of Minnesota and spread as far east as the Atlantic and as far south as Washington. Considerable damage was done not only to human eyes and throats but to young crops. In some places drouth-powdered top soil was removed by the wind, leaving roots exposed to the air. In other places it was deposited as a fine coating over tender young shoots. Both processes were destructive.
 Wind erosion is an old story to soil con- servation students and to sections of the country where rainfall is normally slight. Near Dalhart, Texas, for exemple, 1t Is Q problem requiring continual study and preventive effort. Farm leaders there point out that vegetation of some kind is essential to hold the soil. Many farm CTS, therefore, have found it wise to spare certain weeds and wild vines which they would otherwise try to eradicate. Late fall weeds are allowed to remain until af- ter the high winds of the following spring. It is estimated that wise cooperation with these weeds have saved 60 per cent of tho soil fertility that would have been lost by unchecked wind erosion. Forestation would be another and more lasting aid

A Book a Day.
A Fine Book About Down East Fishers

One of the more remarkable books of tho spring is Men, Fish, and Boats," by Alfred Stanford.
 This is book about the Down East'' fishing people, and 1t is mostly photographs; photographs, as the title promises, of men, fish. and boats. Some of the pictures are deeply beautiful and some of them are very graphic, and all are very interesting.
 Yet the charm which this book possesses is not entirely due to the excellence of its pictures. A good part of it arises from the sub- ject matter.
 For we have here, in this fish, ing trade of New England and Nova Scotia, one of the last sur viving relicg of the great age of sail. The Cape Colder or Blue- nose schooner is a direct descend ant of the days when the whole northeast coast was dotted with shipyards, where men built ves- sels for voyages to the ends of the earth.
 Those days are gone. but the schooners remain--for q while, at any rate: power boats with Diesel engines are crowding them out. Their builders are as skfllful as the builders of the old clippers; their men are as staunch seamen as any that ever lived anywhere. The book contains enough anec- dotes and descriptive matter tc show just how good these Down East fishermen are, as sailors. Tne record Is impressive.
 With the fine photographs 70 | illustrate if, the book i6 . remark ably She memorial tO one of ouf most pIctufesque and heroic ff. dualfies.

Health insurance is necessary, votes the American College of Surgeons. It intends to back nationwide campaign for ust such movement following an eight months survey of medical costs and care in the United States. It follows closely on the statement of New York doctor who declared that the day of state medic inal service was close at hand. The re- port from Chicago indicates that efforts will be made to promote plan whereby people of moderate means will always be able to afford necessary medical or hos Eital service through some type of healtf, insurance That more medical service should be available was also the concensus of the college. Four groups to whom such services should be made more readily available were classed as "the indigent; the uneducated and credulous of the com. munity; those, who because of limited resources, are unable, unaided, to meet the costs of serious illness and hospitaliza. tion; those living in remote districts where adequate medical service is not ob- tainabe." Such a step as the American College of Surgeons contemplates Is cer- tainly praiseworthy and deserving of all support possible.

The modern generation of theatergoers won't be able to form many recollections of Maggie Cline whose death has just occurred at Fair Haven, N. J. But there are many people still alive who remember we'll this gifted performer of the variety stage as it was known in her day and for some time thereafter. Maggie Cline was a native of Haverhill, Mass and came in. to national fame with her rendition Of McCloskey". We often wondered if the song would have reached it's fame without the aid of Maggie herself. She was quite the darling of the stage in her time and 1t boasted Lillian Russell, May Irwin, Pat Rooney, and many other mmortals She lived to the age of 75, retiring from the stage in 1917. Her marriage in 1887 to John Ryan was lasting one, unlike so many of those of the stage.
