Agriculture as a whole is con-
trolled by an all-inclusive organ
ization called the Naehrstand, OF
Food Estate, which is designed to
regulate production, sale, prices
and price spread of agriculture

the interest of trade and the gen

vision of the Nazi minister of ag-

Chained to Soil
The Hereditary Farm Law hurts

are being proletarized. It would
seem there is nothing left for them
to do but go to the cities and Join
the ranks of the unemployed. But
they cannot even go to the cities,
since it is forbidden. Bound to
the soil again, they must work for
their eldest brother, or other farm
ers, like slaves, being paid little
wages and given bad food.
Therefore, it is no wonder that
the farmers are trying all possible
ways of escaping the blessings of
this law. The law is valid only
for Aryans! Therefore, it is very
Understandable that recently a
farmer, who wished TO escape the
provisions of tie law, tried his
hardest to prove that he had a
Jewish grandmother. The Jewish
grandmother, who, in the third
reich, is very unpleasant relative
in the families of officials and or
ficers, is a much sought for ar
ticle among the farmers.
Slavery and poverty are the re-
suits of the much glorified Her
editary Farm Law.
Organizations Destroyed
The situation of the farm hands
has become even worse than in the
time of the republic. They suffer
from the bad living conditions, and
must content themselves with dogs
wages. All possibility of organic
alton has been taken from them in
he third reich. All independent
farmers and workers organiza-
ions are destroyed.

Senator Tom ConnalIy, junior
Democratic Senator from Texas,
had looked forward to the end of
the long and hard first session
of the Seventy-fourth Congress so
he could rest. Adjournment came
last night.
But with it came a blow which
wiped out all the joy he had en-
visioned in planning a vacation
with his family in the open spaces
of the Lone Star State.
Mrs. Louise .Clarkson Connally,
81, his wife, died in his office in
the Senate Office Building from
a heart attack.
Falls in Elevator
Mrs. Connally had become tired
from packing for their belated
vacation to Marlin, Tex, their
home.
Last night she was on an ele-
vator in the Senate Office Build
ing when she collapsed. When
she had been carried to her hus-
bands office, the Capitol physi-
clan, DR.. George w. Calver was
summoned.
Ten minutes later she died, but
not before Senator Connally, who
had been in the thick of the fight
in behalf of the cotton amend
ments to the third deficiency bill
which delayed adjournment of
Congress, had reached her side.
She looked up at him and smiled
as he held her in his arms.
Wed in 1904
The Connallys were married
November 16, 1904, when the
Texan was a member Of his State
legislature. Following that he be-
came prosecuting attorney OF
Falls county, and later came to
Washington with Mrs. Connally
when he was elected to the House
in the Sixty-fifth Congress. He
served there for several terms
before being chosen to the Senate
where he has served since.
The Connallys made their
Washington home at the High
lands Apartments, California
Street and Connecticut Avenue

yer at Houston, Tex, also sur

Senator Connally will accom-
pany the body to Texas by train

Is headlines, it was revealed by
Secretary of Interior IckeS today.
Important projects in Missouri,
Taxas and South Carolina may be
scrapped entirely due to the i'm
possibility of organizing them be-
fore the September IL deadline
on works applications and the
December is deadline on con-
tracts announced by President
Roosevelt recently in an execu-
tive order.
This order was necessitated in
the Presidents opinion, by the de-
sire to get $500, 900 unemployed
at work by November /. The ef-
feet of the order, it was evident
at the PWA, has been to hurry
Secretary of Interior IckeS too
fast for the usual processes es-
tablished by his organization for
the orderly working out of the
program.
Mr.. Ickes commented:
"It is going to be very diff
cult to get construction projects
going under the new Setup.
Under the plan applications
must be in by September IL, and
contracts awarded by December

He explained that most munich
palities require at least a month
or six weeks after bids have been
asked to get their projects going.
In addition, he foresaw difficulty
on the part of most of these
localities in drawing up their
applications before September IL.

personal servant of Gen. Ulysses
S. Grant, has applied to State
relief authorities for an old-age

In applying for the pension, the
aged man, known as "the Rever-
end" because Of early religious
training, explained that he was
not entitled to an Army pension,
since he was never an enlisted
soldier. Entering the war as a
servant, he worked up to the post

Times Books

IF we are going to keep out Of another war we
l. shall need to get our thinking on interna-
tional affairs set straight. We require books
which not only give facts but also that they be
brief and readable and at a cost within the
reach Of Americas millions.
We are fortunate in having the Foreign
Policy Association launch its series Of popular
headline books with volume on War To-
morrow: Will We Keep Out?" The authors
Omar Pancost Goslin and Ryllis Alexander Cos
lin, are as well chosen as the title. They have
already brought out the best primer on the
current economic set-up in the United States
their Rich Man, Poor Man" They have brought
the same talents for Illuminating populariza-
ton to bear on the international crisis.
This little work seems far and away the
most important book published in some time
in the field Of international education. All the
essential facts are presented without evasion or
ambiguity. Spades are called spades, but there is
nothing sensational in the work. 1t is brief
not over 5000 words 1t is simple, vivid and
absorbing. And the price, IS cents, makes it
available to millions, even to many on relief.

POLITENESS FROM POLICE

to be polite or lose their jobs. Police
Chief John j. Mccarthy has ruled that Hey,
your is out, that wisecracks have had their
day, and that citizens are entitled to con-
siderate and courteous treatment at all times
and under all circumstances"

life that the issuance of such highly sensible
orders should be accounted news.
police department ought to be courteous
and polite. Policemen are public servants;
one would suppose that a decent measure of
politeneSs and courtesy could be taken for
granted. But in most cities the reverse is true.
The average copper is honest enough and
well-intentioned enough, but the idea of
treating taxpayers with modicum of civility
never seems to enter his head. We greatly
need few more police chiefs with ideas like
those of st. Louis Mccarthy.

OLD DOGS LEARN FAST

MERE is familiar old saying to the effect
that you can't teach an old dog new
tricks. But educational authorities who have
been teaching grown-ups under auspices of
the WPA are beginning to believe that it is
all wrong. Not only can an old dog be taught
new tricks they say-he can usually be taught
faster than young dog.
DR.. R. L. Alderman, educational director
for the WPA, says his teachers have found
that grown-ups learn five times as fast as
children. This incidentally is the reflection
of wide experience, for some $4,000 teachers
were paid last year to conduct classes for
more than 100000 depression victims.
The discovery isn't hard to understand.

and lessons are something to be got through
with as quickly as possible.
But when an adult goes to school he goes
because he sincerely wants more knowledge.
He has an incentive for studying which the
child too often lacks entirely.

When Betsy Ross, a patriotic civil

in 1776, it then was adopted by the

honored by the entire United States,
both North and South.
Nine Presidents from the South

Those Presidents upheld the flag

1t is easy to see that capitalism is
alarmed over the crumbling system.
In Europe, certain dictators are at
tempting to convert the peoples
mind from their economic plight to
so-called patriotism and war scares.
In America, we now have so-called
Constitution defenders" They do
not make themselves quite clear as
to what they mean. What we need
is defense Of human rights as guar
anteed by the Constitution instead
Of using it as a club to force the
worker to submit to selfish interests.
Labor can gain something by de-
handing passage of a workers
rights amendment. Such an amend
ment was written by Morris Hill
quit, prominent Socialist. AS to
this being constitutional, I refer to
the preamble and Article l, Section
8, paragraph l. Certain politicians
have been trying to deny citizens
on relief the right to vote. I refer
them to Article Is, Section I Of the
amendments.
Is labor going to form its own
party and fight for its rights or is
it going to run like a whipped cur?
