Slightly Confused.
Supreme Court justices apparently
have not been closely following the
progress Of New Deal law-making. At
least one has not.
After the court had listened to argu-
ment in the A. A. A. processing tax
case the other day. it proceeded TO
hear the Bankhead cotton act case. As
all New Dealers know, the Bankhead
act was not originally acceptable to
the New Deal because it involved COM
pulsion, as distinguished from the So
called voluntary A. A. A. control Of
crop production.
Consequently. some OF their
bright young lawyerS eyed each
other when Justice Van Deudnter
broke into the Bankhedd argument
to ask l1wyer:
as this part of the "A. A. A. act
Ue Just conSidered?"
However, the justices have certainly
been reading the international news.
Also, during the Bankhead argument,
Justice Harlan Stone interrupted an
attorney to ask: What are the sane
tions?"
The lawyer paused a moment Vis-
sions Of Ethiopia and oil and the
League confused him. Noting his pre-
dicament, Justice Stone continued:
''Th> sactions-the penalties?"
This brought the attorney quickly
back to the United States, but in a
tone which seemed to say: "Oh. you
mean the penalties"
BashfuI Principal.
A bashful lad with cheek of tan
approached President Roosevelt at
Warm Springs and told him the high
school at Durand, Ga, was going to
hold some exercises. He wondered If
the President would attend.
The President asked if the young
man was president of the senior class.
"Oh. no" he replied, I'm the prin-
cipal of the school,"
Inquiry developed that the principal
was 1e years old, had concluded his
freshman year at the University of
Georgia, and had turned principal for
a year in order to get money TO 80
back to the university.
The President is telling the story
to all educators who call on him.
He uses 1t as an example OF Dhdt
has happened to the American
system of education during the de-
preston.
Code Book Needed.
A code book should be issued by
diplomats so that others than them
selves will know what they are talk
ing about. For instance, survey these
elusive words from the tongue Of
Norman Davis at the London naval
parley:
"Our objective must be to insure
that, in the difficult and trying years

has proved such guarantee of peace
and stability, should be maintained by
means of mutual agreement rather
than by expensive and dangerous
competition. I may say also that the

LEAVE ACCRUAL
WAS ASKED
IN 1923
BY ]. EARLE MOsER

Cumulative leave for Govern
ment employees, such as is included
in the leave documents that are
to be taken up by Congress next
month, is far from a new idea.
According to a survey Of old
departmental reports, the idea Of
saving up offtime against real
necessity was first suggested by
DR.. w. w. Stockberger, Agricul'
ture personnel director, back in
1928.
The "Aggie" officials suggestion
was included in the annual report
of Secretary william M. Jardine.
and ran as follows:
although 30 days sick leave
n far in excess Of the require
ments Of the average emplOye,
cases of prOtracted illness, in
which the allowable 80 days is
exhausted before the emplOye Is
able to return to duty, are not
fnfrequent, and the additional
time required for recovery must
be taken as leave without pay.
During the calendar year
1927, 212 per cent of the de-
partment's employees in Wash
ingtOn found it necessary to
take leave without pay in addi-
tiOn to the 30 days sick leave
with pay. AS a measure Of re-
lief from this situation, 1 favor
legislation which will recognize
cumulative sick leave as .
means Of mitigating the hard
ships suffered by deserving en-
plOyeS who may occasionally
need an unusual amount Of
sick leave"
The Ramspeck bills now pend
ing, on which Civil Service Chair
man William j. Bulow has prom
iSed quick action. would also in
troduce the cumulative idea on
annual leave.

All Over WhiteWash

Somebody at the Finance Of
flee, War Department, will have
to shell out" $4.44 as the result
Of q ruling of Comptroller Gen
eral McCarl upholding the Gov
ernment's shoe, broom and brush,
making business at Leavenworth
Penitentiary.
It seems that a large number
of ERA workers were sent to the
Army Medical Center more than
q year ago to do some whitewaSh-
ing on buildings there. Having
no equipment, Army officers dis
tributed all available utensils and
then found they were three
brushes short. So three white
wash brushes were purchased from
a local paint concern.
When the item came through
General Accounting office, how
ever, it was abruptly disallowed,
and McCarl on Saturday again re.
fused to review his former deci-
sion, saying that under the law
all brushes must be purchased
from Leavenworth, regardless Of
the necessity Of buying them else
where to prevent paying man for
doing nothing.
