all. We were just having a pleas
ant little chat"
Note-They had spent an hour
discussing relief and PWA appro-
priations for the new budget.
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT came
i near losing his Steel Labor
Board en- masse.
1t happened this way:
For weeks there had been stren-
uous behind the-scenes efforts to
bring steel operators and union
leaders into agreement.
The negotiations got nowhere.
Labor leaders insisted on e C
ignition of the principle of ma
jority rule. Employers refused to
yield on their demand for minority
representation in plant councils.
Finally, the Steel Board pro-
posed a three-point formula:
Factory elections to be suspend
ed for six months.
Employers to deal with all union
groups.
The Steel Board to be recognized
by both sides as arbiter in COM
plant cases.
The plan was submitted infor-
lnally to representatives of the
warning groups.
The operators signified their ap-
prevail. The Steel Board received
what it considered similar au-
thoritative assurances from the
unionites.
Elated, the board informed the
President of its success.
To give the matter an imposing
setting he summoned labor lead
ers and employers to a White
House conference.
The confab began most auspi-
ciously. The operators said that
while the compromise was not all
they wanted, they would accept.
President Green of the A. F. of L.
declared that the workers insisted
on elections, but did not oppose
the boards proposal.
But when President Roosevelt
called upon 7~7-year-old Mike
Tighe, president of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron. Steel
and Tin Workers, he blew the con-
ference sky high.
Members of the Steel Board were
terribly embarrassed. They had
assured the President that the
stage was all set for agreement.

Tough on the Orphans

CERTAINLY this pension would tend to promote
~ respect for old age and the tenderest sort Of
care for the health of the pensioners lest something
happen to curtail the monthly income. In time, of
course, the old people would be gathered to their
fathers, but by then their offspring would be nearing
so themselves and anticipating pensions of their own
on which to support their children until they, too,
were go and eligible.
But the orphans of, say 40 years, with a family

send pension to support his neighbor and the neigh
boris children, would be out of luck. With no mother
or father to put in for the 5000 a month, per head,
the poor orphan would be the one to give the party.
If the Townsend plan goes through there should
be a special clause to provide pensions for orphans.
That would seem to cover the entire ground. Then
nobody would have to work.

Nor was Mr.. Reilly the man to
overlook the possibilities in Mrs.
Hauptmann and baby Manfred.
The Bronx carpenters wife spoke
over the radio on her husbands

All these moves represented the
application of an aggressive tech

murder cases during which the
words mot guilty" have fallen
from the lips of jury foremen with
an almost monotonous regularity.
Mr.. Reilly knows his business.
Born in Brooklyn's old Fourth
Ward, the chief of Hauptmann's
counsel was educated in parochial
school and Boys High. He got a
job with a life insurance COM

was admitted to the bar and al

In the courtroom he will un-

In his long career he has saved
from the electric chair such cele-

TAX revision at lNlS session
Three of the most important
features of the plan are:
1. The principle that only an
arbitrarily fixed amount of wealth
may be inherited. The ceiling"
that Morgenthau and his advis-
ers have agreed on is a closely
guarded secret. But they want
the principle written into the law
on the theory that once it is fixed
the ceiling" can be raised or low
cred with greater ease.
2. A tax on dividends.
3. Increase of the capital stock
tax.
The program is the work of a
group of young economists whom
Morgenthau has had studying the
tax question for many months.
They recommended that the
Administration delay no longer
in fundamental tax reform, that
it begin by tackling the problem
of great inheritances.
This plan has been Professionally
approved by the President, but
will come before him in final form
before it is decided whether to
submit it to Congress.

XXTASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 3.-One great embar-
w rassment to a President or other statesman in
resisting such a scheme as the Townsend plan is an
exaggerated popular regard for old age, as though there
were something meritorious in the mere feat of living
for go years. There is a sentimental, silver-threads-
among-the-gold tradition that people of go years up
are uniformly wise and sweet and kind and also
pathetic. There is also a conspiracy to write off all

The Townsend plan makes no dis
elimination. 1t would pension at the
rate of 5000 a month a vast number
of itchy old loafers who never were
willing to pack their W weight and
earn their room on earth at any
time in their lives.
They would be treated on equal
terms with the upstream types of
similar age who find themselves

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

THE Dead Sea, regarded for centuries to be as
Il dead as its name implies, has turned out to be a
veritable gold mine of chemical wealth and a health
resort in the bargain.
These startling facts were emphasized in a recent
lecture before the Royal Society of Arts by Major T.
G. Tulloch. A resume of Major Tullochs lecture has
been made available by Arthur D. Little, Inc,
chemists. Cambridge. Mass.
The level of the Dead Sea is 1900 feet below that
Of the Mediterranean. The sea is Al miles long and
nine and one-half miles wide at its widest part.
Nothing is able to live in the sea because of the ire
mendous concentration of mineral salts in it.
Legends grew up around the sea. 1t was said
that birds which attempted to fly over it fell dead.
Travellers reported that the climate of the valley in
which the sea is located was unbearable and deadly.
But it appears now that the Dead Sea was only
playing poSSum." For Major Tuloch reports that
the Dead Sea today is a thing of life, pulsating with
health and comforting benefits on thousands of
human beings"
A DECADE ago, Major Tulloch and his associates
N became convinced that the possibilities of the
Dead Sea had been overlooked and that the sea
constituted a vast potential source of ordinary salt,
potash and bromine. Accordingly they organized
Palestine Potash, Ltd obtaining a concession from
the British government which holds the mandate
over Palestine.
Palestine Potash. Ltd, went to work in 1880. It's
experts found that surface waters of the sea were
diluted by the Jordan and other streams which
poured fresh water into the sea. Deeper down. how
ever, they found an increasing concentration of salts.
This reached a maximum constant value below 200
feet.
Consequently, a 3O-inch pipeline, $500 feet long,
was laid on. from the shore to this depth. Pumps
connected TO this line discharged the waters into an
open canal so constructed as to encircle evaporating
pans which covered thousands of acres.
THE hot sun and the steady breeze which blows
Il all day from the south and all night from the
north makes evaporation rapid. Sodium chloride,
common salt. is deposited in the first series of pans,
since il is the least soluble.
In the next series of pans a double salt Of mag
nesium chloride and potassium chloride, known as
"earnallite" is deposited. Finally. magnesium bro
mide is deposited.
During four years of work, Major Tulloch says,
there have been no illnesses among the several hun
dred workers. And so a seaside and health resort,
named Kallia, has been opened near the companys
works.
This has attracted hundreds of visitors since 1t
was opened last April. he says. and on one occasion
in the middle of July there we're 1000 visitors who
came TO dance and 20 battle by moonlight.
Major Tulloch thinks that the fact that the at
mosphere at 1900 feet below sea level is 6 per cent
richer in oxygen may account for the healthful quail
tiles OF the place.

conception of old age and the character of old peo-
pie which has received unearned acceptance by the
race. For a President to admit, however, that such
a thought had crossed his mind would be to arouse
the phoney fury of all the mammy-singers in the
country and bring down upon himself the accusation
of slandering every mans dear old mother and dad.
The opposition, therefore, must deny itself the use of
a very important point in the argument.
