Hunting for a StOOge

THEY decided that it was too bad that there was
l. nothing in the bill to limit the profits of the
contractors but there nothing that they could
do about it until the other said it might
make piece for the papers to steam up some mem
Der and get him to introduce an amendment limit
ing the profits to 10 per cent. 1t seems that the
them ideas of their own which presently pop up in
the debate and make news
Accordingly, the two ink-stained wretches went
pattering down the stairs looking for stooge among
the members to present their idea on the floor
Mr.. Lewis particularly wished to find Marion Zion
check, Democrat from the state of Washington
who, on his record and from personal acquaintance
seemed to him to be suitable for their little enter
prise, but couldn't him down. The time was
getting short when they into Charles w Tobey
a Republican, from Mr.. Lewis own state of New
Hampshire.
Together they explained their idea to Mr. Tobey
who said Fine business have always thought these
profits ought to be limited to 10 per cent myself"
and the three of them sat down somewhere and
drew up the amendment on sheet of scratch paper.
The two reporters then went back to the gallery and
listened while Mr. Tobey with only 10 minutes re-
naming, obtained the floor put in his amendment
and fought it through against the protests of Mr..
VnSon and other who claimed it not germane
From that point on, the fight Mr. Tobey's
and he had to scrap for his economy before the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee against the oppos1-
ton OF admiralS who thought it wasn't feasible and
even against the protest of Lewis A. Douglas then
director OF the budget, who sent over letter an
nouncng that the limitation as written, did not
meet the approval of the President.

100 MiLIiOn-SdUed!

MIR. DOUGLAS proposed an Administration sub
4V1 stitute eXempting from the limitation all con-
tracts for $4,000 or less, but Mr. Tobey hung on,
made pcstiferous nuisance of himself and finally
reduced the exemption to petty contracts involving
$4,000 or less
Citing the records of the Nye investigation of the
munitions industry, Mr.. Tobey estimates that the
profits, on bilon-dolar program, without this re-
strction would have been something between 40 and
so per cent and that the economy thus may be
reckoned at no less than s1OO0OOOOO. which is the
round number for 10000 09091. Nowadays in
breakage, like the penny money at the pari-mutuel
windows There is no telling however, but that the
cost might have risen still another 100 million if the
builders had been allowed to their conscience
for their only guide Profits, in some cases, have
been as high as 80 per cent.
Mr.. Tobey up for reelection last fall an6 the
10 per cent limitation very helpful in his cam
palgn, so it was thought to be fair and sporting to
let him have the entire of it for that purpose
inasmuch he did, after ALL fight it through
against strong opposition. However, the fact re-
mains, and may now be reported without injustice to
Mr.. Tobey, that the saving originated in the idle
reflections of two newspaper reporters sitting in the
press coop on dull day and that but for their
initiative at the psychological moment it would not
have been proposed at all.
That this could be interpreted as a work of Jour-
nalism under the terms of the Pulitzer award is
doubtful Strictly speaking, it was anything but
journalism for they wrote the true story and
possibly the two brothers could be run out of the
halls OF the sacred heritage forever for lobbying.

France. He has said Germany no
longer lays claim to Alsace-Lor-
raine. The German colonies, he
says, have been given up. The
Polish Corridor issue has been set
tied directly with Poland, at least
for 10 years, after which it is diff
cult to see how it can be resur-
rected.
There would seem, therefore, lit
tie in the way of a Franco
German understanding, if Herr
Hitler really wants it. And if
France and Germany can get to-
gether, the prospect of peace in
Europe today would seem brighter
than it has been in years.
TWO stable clouds, however,
u remain on the horizon. One
is Austria. The other is Ger
many's rearmament. But even
these may be brushed aside once
the Saar is definitely back under
the German flag.
In any event the peace project
of Premier Mussolini and M.
Laval should prove helpful. Ger
many will be asked to join in a
series of European pactS designed
to safeguard not only Austrian
independence, but her own east
ern frontiers. An effort, too, will
be made to get Germany back in
the League, and at the disarmament
table.
If Herr Hitler refuses to CO.
operate in those peace moves,
especially now that the Saar is on
its way back to the fatherland,
European suspicious will be
thicker than ever. Fear of his in
tentions will mount, and the real
reason for the Nazis' feverish re-
armament will seem clear.
Accordingly, if Herr Hitler won't
join the European peace moves,
now in full swing, he will almost
certainly find himself surrounded
by glistening bayonets to prevent
him starting trouble.

Your Health

NTHEN a person complains of pain, don't ridcule

Pain is a warning signal of physical disturbance,
although fear, anger rage anxiety and despair may
modify it somewhat
For example, the pain associated with blow
or knife wound differs from that associated with
surgical operation. The pain associated with
illness differs from the difficulty of breathing that
comes from too much exercise.
The pain from a sudden violent blow may be
companied by sensations of anger fear of death.
The pain from sudden severe attack of collie is
likely to be accompanied by feeling of anxiety.
The pain of toothache may produce simply sense

All these expectations were ful-
filled-and some more besides.
Chief among these is his ag-
eressiveness, a characteristic
which is developed far more than
Miss Perkins or Richberg relish.
Miss Perkins, as Secretary OF
Labor, is Biddle's tituiar superior.
But he goes along almost entirely
on his own. serenely oblivious OF
her jurisdiction.
Donald Richberg also is sup
posed to play an important part
in forming labor policy. And he
was more than irritated at Bid
dies independent handling of the
Jennings case.
All this has come to head at
a time when important labor leg
islation is coming before Con-
gress. Section IA is to be clarl-
fed or modified.
Biddle. a militant upholder OF
majority rule for collective bar
gaining. wants the law rewritten
so as to strengthen the Govern
ment's power to enforce that
principle. But Miss Perkins and
Richberg are decidedly cool to-
ward ma jority rule.
AS a result those on the inside
see every indication of a headon
collision between the independent
and unhustered Mr.. Biddle and
his two titular superiors.
TN Washington, it's never safe
i to assume a superior attitude,
