PUT AND TAKE

THE House has voted 20 take the proposed
Il Federal Social Security Board from the
Labor Department and set it up as an indie
pendent agency. The House Labor Commit
tee has voted to put the proposed Labor Re-
lations Board in the Labor Department. We
believe both of these moves are unwise.
The functions of the Social Security Board
will be purely administrative. AS such they
fall naturally under the Labor Department.
which is really a department of social well
fare. In this department now are grouped
services closely related to those the new
board woul dadminiSter. Labor statistics, for
instance, women'S and childrens welfare
labor standards and free employment ex-
changes are all under Secretary Perkins. IN
employment insurance must be linked directly
with employment exchanges to escape the OBJ
vious abuses
If a big independent service were set up
to administer old-age pensions. subsidies for
dependent children and state unemployment
insurance Standards the related services now
in the Labor Department would tend to CRAWL
tate from that useful executive portfolio and
leave it a shell.
a
board belongs in the Labor Department. In
other countries social security boards generally
are found under the labor ministries.
The Labor Relations Board, on the other
hand, should be independent as the Senate
has just agreed. This board will be a quasi
judicial body like the Federal Trade Commits
sion. and should be free of political influences.
A court belongs in no Cabinet department.
To place it there would open it to the charge
of bias, and jeopardize the success of the
whole industrial peace machinery. We have
yet to hear one logical argument for the
House committees action.
The Senate should put the Social Security
Board back into the Labor Department, and
the House should concur in the Senate's de-
cision to make the Labor Relations Board
independent.

the work relief scales below prevailing private
rates is necessary to prevent large permanent
work relief rolls and to encourage private re-
employment. The scale for highly trained and
educated professional and technical workers.
which ranges from S94 month to as low as

may be justified. however, by the emergency
and the fact that this is only relief.
But SIG a MONTH or 60 cents day, for sup

Peace may not come from the conference
but it will come eventually from exhaustion
and ruin if not from sanity. Already more
than 10000 men have been killed and many
thousands more wounded. When it is consid-

Paraguay only 100000, one can picture the

THE HERNDON DECISION

ON thin legal technically the United
~ States Supreme Court majority has re-
fused to hear the appeal Of Angelo Herndon,
nov. under an 18-to-2O year sentence by
Georgia court for an alleged attempt to incite
instruction That the technicality was
highly questionable one is shown clearly by
the sharp dissent Of Justices Cardozo Brandeis
and Stone.
Many issues are involved in this caSe-the
issues of fair trial. Of treatment OF Negroes,
of the constitutional rights of political minor
tiles. and of the ability of state Supreme
Court to change the trial courts Interpretation
of the law without notice to the defendant
But more important than any of these is the
tendency of the United States Supreme Court
majority in this and other test cases to make
decisions on the basis of minor technicalities
instead Of the fundamental law and justice
involved.
Herndon was charged in substance with an
attempt to enlarge the Communist party in
Atlanta The state said that was violation
OF an old unused state sedition law and was
punishable by death in the discretion of the
jury. It is not necessary here TO point out the
barDarlty ana Observation-Disclosures VI SuCA d
penalty for the alleged crime of increasing
membership in a legal political party. Nor is
1t necessary here to argue Herndons guilt or
innocence. The devastating fact is that the
United States Supreme Court refused even to
give him hearing.
And all because Of hair-splitting by the
Supreme Court majority which decided Hern-
don's lawyers did not make the constitutional
appeal soon enough! In refuting this, the
minority members pointed out that the pro-
lection OF the Constitution was reasonably IN
voked and that the court should proceed to an
adjudication OF the merits the settled doc
trine is that when a constitutional privilege or
immunity has been denied for the first time
by a ruling made upon appeal, htigant thus
surprised may challenge the unexpected ruling
By a motion for rehearing, and the challenge
Will be timely Within that settled doctrine
the cause is rightly here"
It is a tragedy not only for Herndon, but
for the nation. that the constitutional founda-
ton of Justice and civil liberty appears less
important than questionable technicalties TO

problem.
AS first step. they could be taken to the
lair Of some big-shot racketeer and watch
him contributing to a politicians campaign
fund. receiving the thanks of the politician,
and chatting chummily with judge and
police captain whose appointment that poll
tician controls.
Then they could go down the line bit and
see the big shot in action; see him providing
election booth sluggers for the politician on
election day. passing out hundreds OF bank
notes to various political leaders in return
for their favor of being permitted to operate
his Illicit business without restraint. and
so on.
After that they might watch the big shot
when the law tries to catch up with him.
They could observe the politics-hampered
COPS failing TO turn in the kind Of evidence
that results in convictions. They could see
a district attorney, mindful of his debt to the
political boss, purposely fumbling the ball so
that the grand jury would return no bill.
They could see the judge mentioned above
setting a low bail figure. accepting worthless
bail bonds, and granting to the big shots
lawyer a long series Of continuances and
postponements.
Lastly, they could see the big shot in
prison with the politically dominated warden
permitting him to loll at ease in coy hos
pital ward instead of cell and to receive
visitors from TIE outside without hindrance;
and to wind things up they could see an

tapping the big shot on the wrist and turning

All this might not make very pleasant
picture for these lads to witness But it
would help them to understand why large
scale crime remains a problem in America.

Liberal Viewpoint
BY DIR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

A RECENT headline ran as follows: "Profes-
N sors Trying to Run World Warned to Stick
to Own Knitting"
Such was the press report Of the implica-
lions of the study of legal education IN the United
States and Canada made under the auspices
of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching.
The report concluded that the learned pro-
lessor might be a master OF his own field, but
was likely to be worse than useless when he en-
tered public service and attempted to assume
guidance of public affairs and community well
fare:
Possessing infinitely greater knowledge and
capacity than a mere layman can ever hope to
acquire, he (the professor is subject to the
temptation of confusing the part which he
knows best with that whole of which we all
know SO little"
If we were to follow the logic OF this para
graph to its natural conclusion it would seem
to imply that those who know little moth
ing about anything specific are more likely than
the experts to know a great deal about public
problems. A greater absurdity has not come
to my attention in a long while.
That phase of a professors knowledge tai
entS and training which pertain solely to his
work in the classroom has admittedly little in
it to qualify him as a leader of society in our
complex age.
If he is a good teacher, his classroom ex-
perience may aid him in becoming somewhat
more articulate in expressing his knowledge
than the average layman But this advantage
may be offset by the acquisition of an intellec-
tually arrogant and dogmatic manner and state
Of mind
DUT for the professor in the role of an in
ID formed expert and a leader in public af-
fairs am willing to go to bat Immediately
and to the limit. Only in the leadership of the
trained expert, whether he has ever spent an
hour teaching a university class or not is there
the slightest hope for the solution of the prob
lens of preSent-day life.
The old democratic notion that any Tom
Dick or Harry is fitted to deal successfully with
any governmental responsibility might have been
defenSible in the days of the rural township
Of early New Eangland in the simple life OF
the American frontier. But it is obviously dan
gerously out OF date amidst the complexities OF
the twentieth century life.
The most challenging fact of today is that
few or no persons can legitimately pose as real
experts in connection with any large area OF
human experience or flock Of social problems. 1t
would require more than a score of Well-trained
experts in various fields to turn in a really au-
thorltative report on our economic life alone
And all of them might be abysmally ignorant OF
many problems of technology, society or the fine
arts. But only such trained men know enough
about any phase of our life today to be reliable
guides along the path to human betterment
We might as well realize the fact that nc
single person now living within the boundaries
OF the United States-or anywhere else on the
planet for that matter-could possibly be a
thoroughly competent Pr Sident of the United
States.

CLERGYMEN CRITICISED
FOR SERMON TOPICS
By Harvey St. Clair.

In your paper I read that a GER

Is it any wonder that thousands

on the churches and the ministers

do we have to go to any church
to hear a preacher pick up timely
topics and apply them to a religious
instruction? Such lingo as race
track reference has no connection
with the religion Of Jesus Christ,
especially when used as quoted in
your paper.
In my days I have visited many
churches and have heard many So
called sermons, and in most of them
I heard the preachers talking about
some subject that had no connection
with Christ or His teachings.
In many cases I heard banjo
players. fancy drunmers, and other
musical instrument manipulators;
witnessed the performance of magi-
clans and sketch artists and light
ming calculators. all used as a side
attraction to pull people to the

FATHER COUGHLIN'S THEORIES
ARE NOT SOUND, HE SAYS
By W. L. Ballard.
By W. L. Ballard.

I think that if adults who are
themselves not Catholics or even
Christians would send for a copy OF
Father Coughlin'S application for
membership in his Union, and would
read the prelude" and the small
print at the bottom, instead of only
his 16 numbered points, they would
lose their enthusiasm for Father
Coughlin. Half his present adult
following would withdraw if they
thought the issues were religious.
That issue eliminated when the
Constitution separated the state and
church.
I received recently and gratui-
tously such an application. 1t told
me I was supposed to agree with
my policies" as Father Coughlin
calls them, although he was discus
sing matters holly discussed by
Debs, Bryan, Andrew Jackson and
our forefathers. I was to accept or
reject specific issues stated, and also

a follower of him; mind you, a fol-
lower!
Members are to be mere scalps at
his belt, yes-men, rubber stamps, to
be led whithersoever he listeth.

also Huey Long, start a political
