concerned there is no doubt it will.
run smoothly through Congress.
Within a short time we shall be
faced with monopoly in place Of
the three competing services. This
is disturbing prospect.
"On the day the recommends
lions Of the Commission were made
public an official OF the companies
said to me: This is a bad BUSH
ness for you correspondents 1t
means that you will be at the
mercy of monopoly that can be
as high-handed as it pleases!"
Il notice that in the Herald
Tribune on Saturday it was stated
that national defense is a vital fac
tor in the consolidation program.
The Army and Navy insist that
in time of national emergency there
should be a coordinated comnuni-
cations organization that could
be taken over in its entirety and as
an entity of the government. In
the communications act and all
previous laws affecting radio there
IS proviso giving the President
power to commander these facili-
ties in time of national emergency
of any kind.
AT the present hearings Coll
Walter Kruger, senior member Oh
the joint planning board of the
Army and Navy, took the view
that. the communications COM
panles' operators should be trained
IN military requirements and the
personnel should be in the enlisted
or commissioned reserve l recon-
mend these cheerful thoughts to
our members. 1t is just as well to

 Jane kept her voice steady, and little cold, as she spoke into the phone. but there were tears in her eyes.
 I'm sorry, Kent, if you think I'm being stupid about this. But when your job gets to be more important than am"
 "oh, now. Jane, you know I never think of you and my job as having anything to do with each other. But I've got this darn late break to fill-and there's nobody else at the station tonight to an- tnounce except me. I'll come out and take you to the party, and call for you later"
 Thank you, no. don't care to be checked like a piece of baggage for the evening"" Please, Jane darling" Kent re- piled. Lets not make a war out of this"
 "Oh, don't try to put the blame on me-" Jane briddled. Any how, it's three minutes to ten. Time for you to make that desperately im- portant dance-band broadcast."
 Will you be listening, Jane? Please don't be so angry about this I'm just as disappointed about having to work tonight as you are."
 T wouldn't care if it were just this once, Kent, but it's happened too often. And this is going to be the last time. You needn't bother calling me tomorrow"
 'Jane! Don't talk like that. You don't mean it. Gosh, I've got to dash. I'll call you after the broad cast-about 10:15."
 Please don't. I'm going to bed early. I have bad headache. I'm terribly sorry, Kent, but this is definitely good-by."
 The receiver clicked with dismal finality as Jane replaced it. It was one thing to be angry and de- ceive-but it was quite another to endure the stiffness, the blankness after angry words were said. But of course you might as we'll realize you couldn't marry a man like that.
 Jane worked at the towns other radio station, and knew you had to expect and accept a certain amount of uncertainty" But two unreliable schedules in the family would undoubtedly prove too much. There-that was Kent on the air now.
 ". In the great fireplace at Big Cedar inn a roaring log fire is burning-it casts great moving shadows up against the walls and raftered ceiling. Smartly dressed guests are seated about at the rough-hewn tables. But now Don Emil. raises his baton, the orches- ! tra swings into The Dream Waltz = and the floor is crowded with dancing couples. It's a great night to be out at the fashionable Big Cedar inn!"
 A great night, indeed, to be mop I ing at home, missing the fourth party in as many weeks, Kent sounded as though he were in high , spirits, the brute. "The Dream ! Waltz" melted away into a theme
 song, and Kent was on the air again.

At il o'clock, out of old habit, therietaoinshrdlucmfwycmfwypppy she turned on her desk radio to the rival station. Kent had an i'm formal studio broadcast at that hour. Her heart beat painfully at the sound of his voice. Such a charming voice-especially when he was apologizing for having to work. Angrily, she listened. Every song is said to have a story of it's own. But take several song titles together, and they often For example, those on our program today would make quite a romantic little story. Chapter One: One fine summer evening 8 nice young man met very lovely young lady. They fell in love. It was all very beauti- full. They fancied themselves in Paradise
 Jane listened absently to the winsome melody called Para disc" They used to sing that a lot on the radio the summer she met Kent.
 Chapter Two: Alas, this bliss could not go on forever. The cruel everyday world came between the young man and his lovely young lady. He made the fatal error of having to work overtime. The girl was hurt. It happened again that his work cancelled an engagement. And again. The girl was angry. Many harsh words were spoken.
 Misunderstanding stalks like a vile lain on the scene. There was cer-
 tainly Trouble In Paradise !" | Jane felt her ears grow warm. What was the crazy boy thinking of? Thank heaven no one was in the office to see her blush. She found herself waiting with impa- tience for the melody to come to an end. Rents voice again--you could just see his wicked smile. Chapter Three What is our hero to do? The silly quarrel has grown i, to terrible proportions. She refuses to see him. She refuses to talk. to him on the phone.

 Jane knew that if Kent was smiling now it was appealingly. And somehow-that smile reached her across the air. This was too much.

SUCCESS THROUGH COOPERATION

An interesting example Of what agrlcultur-
II cooDeratves can achieve, when we'll man
aged and loyalty supper cd, Is presented by
the D~airvmen's, League Cooperative Assoela-
tion OF New York, a pioneer in the Eastern
field.
Due to the aggressive, construction work OF
the organization, milk prices did not tumble IN
fhe Leauge's area until about a year after the
values of ether farm products had slumped
heavily. A when, under the pressure OF great
economic forces, the milk prices structure did
crTmble. the League didn't take time out Tor
a "crying party" but at once went to work 70
remedy conditions. The result Of thai IS
found in the fact that, according to Novem-
Der reports, the milk price average is practical
" back to the level Of November 1881, before
the worst Of the depression hit the milk shed
This doesn't mean that the troubles are
over for League members. The League will
continue to work toward e~ffecting a better ba-
lance between the cost of milk and other costs
In the Of the past experience, it is not too
much to forecast that these efforts will like
wise succeed.
Other farm co-ops, dealing in all manner of
commodities, have shown similar record. This
is not due to luck-it is the consequence of
knowledge, of enthusiasm, of hard work, and
faith in the cooperatiyes by members. When
all work together for the common good, bet
ter times result.

man Of small means than to the man with large.
means IN spite Of all the talk about taxing
the rich, I government subsists principally
from revenue derived from taxes on things
bought by the millionsof representativeAmer
leans. The rich are taxed heavily, it is true
but the revenue from that source barely makes
a dent in governmental receipts. The rich
are 50 few and far between, especially in these
days, that if governmental comiscated all
their wealth it would soon be bankrupt with
out additional funds.
Ii has been reliably estimated that 20 per
=. centof an annual family income Of $4,000 goes
fol. taxes-and that fact has led to the erfo-
neous belief that people with small means es-
4~cape paying for governments That belief,
should be thoroughly exploded-every bag Of
groceries, every gallon Of gasoline, every pair
Of shoes you buy, is taxed. If you rent your
home, part Of the rental represents taxes which
the owner Of The house must pay. If you take
a train, the heavy taxes paid by the railroads
are reflected in the cost Of tickets. If you
turn on a light about Is per cent Of your elect
rc goes for taxes.
The average citizen eats as much, wears
as many clothes and moves about as much as
do people with much larger incomes. AS a re
suit, it is this average ci izen who is most
seriously affected by extravagant TT wasteful
government. And it is the average citizen
who profits most from economical, efficient
and thrifty government.
When these acts are realized by the Amer
lean people, there will be a campaign for tax
reduction that will not confined itself to
pretty speeches, but will get results.

Washington-The FERA nursery
school program directed by DR.. Grace

the Middle West. Administrator Har-
ry L. Hopkins announced last week
the approval of two hundred addition
al units in Missouri, Indiana, and ILL

ulation topped the list with 1O2; Miss

The schools in Illinois reported no
distinction on the basis of race or
color. East Chicago, Indiana, report
ed two FERA nursery schools, one ex-
clusivelH for colored children, and an
other with a large enrolment had five
colored children. Gary, Columbus.

INVESTOR WANTS SAFETY FIRST

The wise investor follows the old r2Hroad
motto Of Safety First"
Depression has taught him one thing Of IN
calculable value-that speculation is for those
who afford to lose-a category in which very
few of us have a place. Securities are sub
iect to their own laws of gravity, no matter
what we thought in boom days, and what goes
up is always likely to come down.
The average American, as a result, is turn
ing resolutely to Investments which provide
the maximum Of security for principle. Profit
is secondary consideration. He IS seeking
means of inves1 ment whereby his savings may
be spread about widely among basic, essential
Observation-Disclosures which will weather the
economic storms, and eventually come out with
colors flying. He knows that he is not saving
for today, but for tomorrow, when his earning
power will decline, and dollars which are earn
ed with relative ease now will be very difficult
to come by.
This attitude, shared as it is by the great
bulk of average citizens, promises well for the
National future. Many people are pursuing
their investment programs through life insur-
ance, which is especially we'll suited to the
needs and the desires of persons Of all finan-
cial standings. But whatever the plan adopt
ed, the trend toward safety presents a splen-
did illustration of American thrift, wisdom and

FEW REDS AMONG ATLANTA
NEGROES SAYS COMMITTEE
Interracial Group Assures Public OF
Negroes LOyalty-Suggests Cor
rection Of Ills as Best Defense

Atlanta, Ga. Dec. THAT com
munistic following among Atlanta Ne
groes is negligible and that the city
has nothing to fear on hat score is
the substance Of a statement given
to the public ~ an i~nterracial com
mittee representing tn white and
colored churches Of this city.
American Negroes are additionally
loyal to their government the state
m mt says, and do not look with favor
upon movements Advocating violence
and revolution The committee pledges
its Influence against such movements
il Atlanta and in this effort conf
IDENTITY anticipats the support Of the
great majority Of Atlanta Negroes.
The statement. is as follows:
eve, the m-terracial Committee,
COMPOSED Of representative ) of the
Atlanta Christian Council and the
Committee on Church Cooperation cf
the Negro churches Of Atlanta, desire
to reassure the public r lative to the
fear Of communist influence among
the Negroes Of this city. AS a com
mittee Of conference and cooperation
which for twenty y ars has been
closely in touch with Negro life and
thought in this city, we are convinced
that this fear is practically ground
less and that the communist follow
ing among Atlanta Negroes is negli-
gible.
Our committee, of cours D., individ-
ually and collectively. is unalterably
opposed to the revolutionary philoso-
ply Of communism, which advocates
governmental changes by violent
means and seeks to cmbitter certain
elements Of the citizenship against
our democratic institutions and Off
Gals. We stand pledged to use our
utmost influence against all such
teachings and rfforts; and in this
stand we confidently believe we are
supported by the great majority Of
Atlanta Negroes.
"The loyalty Of American Negro.
to their government is a matter of
history. Revolutionary movements
have never appealed to them. In our
judgm mt the present situation is no
exception. We wish. therefore, to
bespeak for the Negro people of At
lanta the continued confidence, and
helpfulness of our officials and the
public.
at is possible, indeed, that a few
Negroes may have been compromised
by designing propagandists operating
under false pretens-s. Should that
be found to be true, we suggest that
in such cases patient correction is
needed rather than extreme severity.
We would caution also against the
danger Of inflitting shame and suffer
ing upon innocent people by arresting
on mere suspicion, holding in jail
without proof, and convicting on ia-
conclusive evidence. Finally. we
would suggest, respectfully but with
great earnestness, that revolutionary
movements among the people Of any
race can be bcst combatted by cor
r%ectilig the ills and injustices upon
which revolution thrives."

PROVERBS AND PARALLELS

PERFECTION OF MANHOOD

I'm him were elements SO mixed
That nature might stand up and say
To all the world, This is a man"
Of course, there is no such thing as
human perfection, but the only means
Of progress is striving in that direc-
ton.
There is among US the tendency to
surrender to human frailties, innate
imperfections and other deterrent in
%fiuences. Doing this, one does not and
cannot put forth his best efforts in
the interest of improvement and of
self-conquest.
Men have overcome physical and
mental defects. They have conquered
hereditary weakness, serious and Diet
rimental physical elements of their
natures. And the same can be done
in regard to moral defects.
No, men of this generation cannot
hope for perfection but they should
strive to be and to do the best posi-
