that congressional insurgents against

II mrs be explained, there are
two types of insurgents IN congress
One type is composed Of Old Deal

The other type Is composed o
P~rogressives, ultra-NeW Dealers.
They are the one who put teetf
into New Deal measures. or 60 be-
yond the New Deal in spite Of New
Deal leaders in congress.
That may be a paradox, but II j
the truth.
As a recent example. Old Dealer

fits bill. Progressives. rising sgains'

wrote IN confiscatory taxes on wal

more IN sympathy with the frs

The fact is. the democratic lead
ers in congress have little sympathy
with the New Deal.

Nervous Business Man
Needs Readjustment
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal OF the American Medical ASSOciatiO
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine


Doctors recognize that heredlty may have some
thing to do with development Of nervous breakdowns
In some families, members incline to break down
rather early In life. Whether this has to 0o with
some internal weakness Of the physical structure. or
whether II represents an intensified reaction Of one
or more members OF the family on the others. is a
matter for investigation IN each instance.
II Is known that certain forms OF mental disease
associated with a change in structure Of the nervous
system are passed on through families. Thus there
may be q tendency to mental defect and also 10 that
form Of insanity called dementis praecox or schizo-
phrenic insanity.
Chief causes n nervous breakdoVnS are 70 be sought
IN the environments Of the person concerned. Some
times the influences primarily involved have been op-
eratiye during the childhood OF the person concerned.
and there are some who insist that they may date
back even to prenatal lift.
A record OF al exceedingly difficult childhood or Of
severe malnutrition in the expectant mother may
eventually show itself in nervous breakdown Of the
child.
During childhood and early life. improper feeding
and malnutrition may 80 iniure the body structure as
to reveal itself in serious disturbances later. Infec-
tious diseases sometimes cause permanent damage 70

Finally. there are the stresses and strains Of a life in
this time OF extraordinary speed, and the psychic and
social causes associated with living conditions at home

These psychic and social causes concern such ques-

Erratic-When President Roose-

q full conception Of the ramifica-

First there was the problem pre-
sented by Henry Ford. The admin

ing that Ford never agreed TO code
restrictions but basically was COM
plying with them. and thus was
eligible TO sell autos to Uncle Sam.
And latest has been the Colt Fire
Arms case. II develops that If any
federal agency asks for an excep-
ton NRA may make II even though
the contracting firm has lost its

.LAND0N URGED
TO ADDRESS
N. Y. DINNER

NEW YORK, Dec. S UNS0.
Eastern friends of Gov. Alf NJ.
Iandon of Kansas, a leading can
didate for the G.. o. P. presiden-
tial nomination, were reported
writing to him today to reconsider
his declination of an invitation
to speak at the Lincoln Day din
ner of the National Republican
Club here in February.
Governor Landon's friends, 1t
Is understood. planned to point out
to him that the dinner is regarded
as the "springboard" to Eastern
support for the presidential nomi-
nation and has been so ever since
Abraham Lincoln was brought to
New York to speak prior to his
nomination. Presidents Roosevelt,
Taft, Harding, Coolidge and other
Republican Presidents were speak
Nrs at the affair prior to their
nomination.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the club, in announcing
Governor Landon's refusal Of the
Invitation, said:
"While declining the invitation
because he feared he might not
be able to rearrange dates to
which he was already committed,
the tone of Governor Landon's
letter indicated that if he is able
to rearrange these dates, he may
reconsider and be with us for the
Lincoln Day dinner"
Colonel Roosevelt said he had
received a letter of acceptance
from Senator Arthur Vandenburg
Of Michigan, who was also invited
to speak at the dinner.
