FLYING FISH
NATURES OWN
"SEAPLANES"|
Flving Submarines Posi-

By HITLER KREIGHBAUM
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, July 5. HTP} =.
Flying submarines will be posi-
Bile when human inventors can
match the flying fish, natures
own seaplanes," Carl L. Hobbs of
the University of Michigan init
mated in the Smithsonian Insti-
tution's 1888 annual report re-
leased yesterday.
The flying fish is able to travel
under water like a submarine and
fly brief distances as a seaplane,
Hobbs wrote. "The idea had be-
come so firmly fixed in mans
mind that birds are the pre-emi-
nent animals of flight that they
alone were looked to in the at
tempt to discover the principles
of flight.
"This firmly entrenched idea
that bird flight is typical of all
animal flight has since the time
of early records prevented large
proportion of observers from APP
preciating the true method of fish
flight. This erroneous preconcep-
ton, like thousands of other fixed
ideas, has blinded the eyes of
man.
at has put into his mental vi
sion movement of the flying fish's
wings which his eyes did not see
and could not see, because they
do not exist. xxx Through the
long period when men have al
lowed their minds to put move
ments into the flying fsh's
wings, trained field naturalists
have seen that these animals,
while in the air, hold their sup
porting planes, the greatly ex-
panded pectoral fins, as rigidly as
though they were made of steel"
Hobbs described how the flying
fish "taxies" on the water before
taking off for its brief flight just
as a seaplane does. He said that
most flights of the flying fish last
ed for only a few seconds. The
maximum of those he was able to
time with a watch were slightly
less than half minute.
"Flying fish are indeed an out
standing example of the fidelity
with which nature long ages ago
anticipated, in the evolution of
animals, both ancient and mod
ern inventions of man," Hobbs
concludes. go.

WASHINGTON, June 5. (UP).
Popular estimates of the supreme
court generally divide the MEM
bership into two groups, liberal
and conservative. -.
The distinction as applied to
the court has scarcely been snf-
ficiently defined, granting that it
is possible to classify thus nine
men of widely different back
grounds and with marked in
dividualities.
Gilbert Sullivan set down the
basic distinction, however, when
they wrote long ago that Every
boy and every gal that's born in
to this world alive is either lit
tie liberal or else a little con-
sentative" And the tendency to
divide political opinion into these
two groups persists when analyz-
ing the court as well as else
where.
This distinction makes itself
most known to the public when
the court splits and dissenting
opinions are written. Contrary to
some popular conceptions, dis
sents are comparatively infrequ-

BILL TO BAR
Prison Goods in Interstate
Commerce

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Prohi-
bltion of interstate commerce in
prison-made goods is provided in a
bill introduced this week by Represen-
tative Hatton w. Summers, of Texas.
chairman of the judiciary committee,
to which the bill was referred. The
bill was introduced at the request OF
the American Federation of Labor.
The bill follows the wording of the
Webbkenyon act which prohibited
shipment of liquor into dry states.
It is q corollary to the Hawes- Cooper
act, which enabled the states to ap-
ply to goods coming into the state
the same restrictions imposed on
goods produced in their own prisons.
Enactment of the measure is not
positively assured in this session of
congress, but its supporters have
some basis for hope. 1t is pertinent
legislation in connection with the ex-
tension Of the national industrial re-
covery act under which was formed
the prison compact which has proved
such a failure in keeping prison-made
goods off the open market in compe-
tition with the products of free labor.
Representative Summers discussed
his reasons for sponsoring the bill in
an address delivered on April in
New York city at the annual meeting
of the national committee on pris-
ons and prison labor and broadcast
over the NBC radio system.

Street Car Workers

Memphis, Tenn. (ILNS)--A three

more than Ats employees of the Mem

car union signed new contract. For
experienced operators of one-man cars
who have been paid SO cents an hour,
the increase is 5 per cent. Experienced
one-man car operators, barn and

There's big battle on in Washing
ton to save the union 10-cent cigar
cite.
The unionized portion of the to-
bacco and cigarette industry which
turns out dime cigarettes needs the
support of every wage Garner in its
fight to bring about a tax equaliza-
ton that will permit the 10-cent Gig
arctic to live.
If the dime cigarette is killed by
failure to equalize the tax, then the
wage earners who smoke the dime
brands will either have to pay more
money for cigarettes or go to the
roll-your- owns.
To-Day the federal tax on every pack
of 20 cigarettes is six cents.
For the makers of the dime brands
there are just four cents left after
the tax is paid and that has to cover
every cost, from farm to customer.
When the same tax is taken from
dime cigarettes that is taken from
the 15-cent cigarette, THAT'S UN-
FAIR.
Weeks ago the Tobacco Workers
international Union asked the labor
press Of America to join in the battle
to equalize the tax and thus save

bly,, but the battle isn't won yet.
REMEMBER: EVERY DIME GIG
ARETTE is UNION MADE.
The Big Four" whose profits are
so huge they almost look unreal, does
not make dime cigarettes.
Identical bills, now before congress,
to save the dime cigarettes, are H. r.
$3.50, H. r. 1924 and H. R. 1858.
Build sentiment for these bills.
Write to senator's and congress
men.
Introduce resolutions, get them
adopted and send them to senators
and congressman.
Send copies to the Tobacco Work
ers' international Union, Louisville, or
to the Allied Tobacco Trades Council,

C.
This fight is in every sense labor
fight.
The two big companies, 100 pc,
cent union, that make dime cigarettes
and every other kind of cigarette anc
tobacco product except cigars, are the
Axton Fisher Tobacco Company anc
the Brown & Williamson Tobacco
Corporation, both of Louisville.
Not only back these union compan

Use OF FEDERAL
ARMS

The Connery resolution, which is in
the hands of the house committee on
military affairs, to prohibit the use
of federal owned equipment by state
militia engaged in strike breaking,
reads as follows:
''To prohibit the use of supplies and
equipment furnished by the United
States to the National Guard while on
service in connection with any labor
dispute without express approval of
the secretary of war.
Resolved by the senate and house
of Representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled,
That no arms, clothing, equipment,
equipage, stores, or material hereto
fore or hereafter supplied by the
United States to the National Guard,
or heretofore or hereafter purchased
for the use of the National Guard out
of any funds appropriated at any time
by the United States, shall be used
by any unit of the National Guard of
any state, territory, or the District Of
Columbia while on duty for any pur-
pose in connection with any labor
strike, dispute, or controversy whether
or not martial law has been declared
in force in respect thereof, unless ex-
press approval for such use is given at
the time by the secretary of war in
each case for each such unit"

"Men can't go around with rifles
without hurting people.
Definite Check Urged
II believe some definite check
should be placed on governors who
mobilize the national guard the mo-
ment some employer who has a strike
on his hands lets out wall about
protecting his property!
If the right to use federal equip
ment-and that means the guns and
bayonets that the national guards
men use-if the right to use federal
equipment by guardsmen is vested
exclusively in the hands of the presi-
dent of these United States, through
the secretary of war, then these pan
icky governors won't be sending

ernor, who wants to mobilize his mill
tia, informs the president and the
president calmly studies the situation
the need for troops generally will
have passed and trouble will be
averted.
Strike Killings Unjustifable
| "And there will be fewer killings
Just because someone has smashed a
window in mill.
Whether the strike is justified
or not, there is not the slightest
justification in sending out sol

You can't restore him to his

And remember, there is no lav
against strikes. Strikes are legal il
this nation. And, when there is ;
strike, why should the employer hav'
the sole right to call upon troops t
take his side? What right has the EN-
ployer to call upon troops to breal

But there is no investigation to de-

Not Slightest Justification in Sending Troops to Shoot

Philadelphia (ILNS)-Some definite

President to End Cruise
tomorrow or Monday

MIAMI, April Q.N.S).-Pres-
adent Roosevelt today was pre-
pairing to leave for Washington,
either late Sunday or early Mon
day morning.
Concluding what was reported
as a fine cruise during which
he enjoyed excellent hin g
among the Bahama Islands south
of the Florida coast, he was said
to be rested and refreshed.
He will transfer from the
Nourmahal to the U. S. destroyer
Farragut at sea and will come
ashore at the most convenient
port. He will take a train d.
rectly for Washington.
The end of his fishing cruise is
being spent north of Cat Island,
off Little Salvador Island. The
decision to return to Washington
was expected here, although mail
reached the President by plane
yesterday, and if necessary he
could have received the works
bill at sea.
His return was interpreted here
to mean that he intends to give
closer attention to the work
relief bill as Congress has acted
on it, probably postponing his
approval until he has studied the
bill at his desk.

non-dollar work-relief bill, on
which Congress completed action
yesterday, will be signed by the
President upon his return from his
Caribbean fishing trip Tuesday or

White House today.
At the same time Mr.. Roosevelt
probably will announce publicly
the set-up of the work relief organ,
ization under the bill.
The money will be spent pri-
marily to take 100000 heads
of families off relief rolls by
providing them jobs and to lend

December. It should provide a
million more jobs by stirring up
industrial activity in thousands
of lines, through Government
purchases of raw and finished
m terials for use on relief
projects.
Up To President
Tremendous responsibility was
given the President for spending
the huge fund. Only a few re-
Strictions were thrown around his
otherwise un INIT d discretion.
The most effective limitation was
q ban on loans or gifts to States
or their political subdivisions to
be used in purchase of existing
power plants or like projects.
A series of maximum ALLEGATIONS
was placed on expenditures for
types Of projects. For instance,
the bill decreed that not more
than 800 million dollars could be
spent on highways, roads or grade
crossing elimination. It also or.
dered that funds for that type Of
project be divided among the
States on a ratio of population,
road mileage and railroad mile
age. This money also must be
spent through State commissions
Broad Powers
Another section ordered the
President to use existing Govern
ment agencies to construct irriga-
ton, reclamation. flood control,
rivers and harbor projects, and
public buildings. It did not touch
his discretion as to choice of such
projects.
Congress gave the Senate one
small check on the President. It
was a section requiring the Presi-
dent to secure the advice and
consent of the. Senate to all ap-
pointments of national, regional
or State relief administrators who
draw more than $4,000 a year
salary. BY paying an admins
traitor less, the President could
escape even this check.
But Mr.. Roosevelt will have
the Comptroller General as a
check. The authority of that Off
Cial to review all Government ex-
penditures was not impaired by
the bill, although tremendous dis
cretionary power was given the
President. Mr.. Roosevelt can
avoid the Comptroller Generals
veto by keeping within the letter
Of a broad law.
