one of the real fighting issues in
this Congress and vigorous sup

Senator Black is reintroducing
his 30-hour measure which passed
the Senate, by 2-to-1 vote in the
last Congress ana was pushed out

ment of the NRA, which was
supposed to achieve similar re-

The new bill will be more fleX-

to pass on individual exemptions

Black is supported by Chairman

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

THERE are times when you don't notice pam
l. until long after the cause is gone. Psychologists
attribute this to form of hysteria or to changes
brought about by strong emotions.
A football player is unconscious OF bruises or
other injuries until after the game. Soldiers IN a
charge during battle may be unaware that they
have Seer nit until they see blood flowing from the
wound.
Likewise. persons do not perceive pain during
periods of eXaltation or ecstasy developed by re-
iigious evangelism: neither so-called mediums
seem to experience pain when they throw them
selves into a trance
THE most conspicuous examples of inability to
l. perceive pain are seen among idiots, imbeciles.
and the insane. Similar conditions occur also
among persons who have recovered from inflamma-
ton of the brain.
Doctors occasionally see instances of malignering
or voluntary production of injuries to the skin and
the body which apparently the persons concerned
do not experience pain. These, however may be eX-
amples of a mental disorder.
Thus it is known that less pain is felt in one
part of the body when the attention is directed else
where One form of quackery rests on the pinching
of the toes to take the mind away from painful
toothache.
THERE are persons whose anxiety and fear are
l. so great. when going into dentists Office. that
they feel less pain the closer they approach the
place in which they 20 receive the dental min

The sense of pleasure you teel when pain dis

cases however the pain itself is seldom intense and
the emotional outburst associated with the pain is
exceedingly pleasurable

side in this conflict will be CAS-
sistant President" Don Richberg,
who admittedly favors the Section
IA which he once wrote for
MIRA and which was kicked out
the window by Congress.
The Richberg wording, its enc
mics charge, would have legalized
company unions and failed to pro-
hibit employers from coercing and
intimidating workers. 1t said that
existing satisfactory labor rela-
tionships shall not be disturbed"
The pressure of winter strike
threats may figure in ultimate de-
cisions.
Labor also has it's ideas as to
revision of NRA. 1t would give
NRA power to impose labor codes
on industries which don't present
acceptable codes, establish sepa-
rate minimum wage scales for
semi-skilled and skilled workers,
strengthen labor representation
on code authorities, provide for
inspection of employing estab-
lishments instead of the system
of simply investigating COM
plants, reopen codes on petition
of the Labor Advisory Board and
make amendments where justi-
fed, and give government
agency power to collect detailed
data on costs and profits from
each industry to aid in long-range
planning.

THE PROBLEMS OF CONGRESS
which to meet the Black-Connery

which to meet the Black-Connery
forces.
Several other emergency agen-
cies-PWA, FE2A and CCC
among them-and the RFC lend
ing powers will expire in 1885. The
Administrator will have Congress
renew them.
RFC still has a couple of bill
lion dollars to lend and plenty of
busted banks and railroads on its
hands which may need further
aid. AS soon as the HOLC stopped
taking applications for home
loans, foreclosures increased and
a flood of letters here make it
almost certain that Congress will
vote another billion dollars for
home loans.
AS Congress meets, there seems
to be less organized bowling from
the farmers than in any recent
year. Presumably this is due to
benefit payments and higher
prices for farm products under
the AAA.
But the farmer Hobbies will be
on the job-which means both the
real dirt farmers and the organi-
cations which pretend to be farm
err organizations, but are really
working for the interests which
exploit the farmers products.
THE AAA will encounter the
l. second of those Hobbies when
it seeks passage of amendments
which will strengthen it's power
over industries handling food
products. It's at this point that
the cry of RECOMMENDATION" rises.
Farmers themselves don't mind
RECOMMENDATION. They seem, in fact,
to Just love it.
The Frazier-Lemke bill will be
up agaln-not the farm bank
ruptcy one passed last year, but
the so-called mortgage write-off"
bill, under which the Government
would take over about $9,000,-
100000 worth of mortgages and
against which the Farm Credit
Administration was a compromise
set-up
Chairmen of both Senate and
House Agriculture Committees
Ed Smith of South Carolina and
Marvin Jones of Texas-have de-
clared for a separate Government
banking system for farmers, which
probably will be preferred by
Congress to the Frazier-Lemke
act, since the farm situation has
been eased by the FCA and higher
income.
The idea is to set up perma-
nent farm credit system 'as
powerful as the Federal Reserve"
and free from private profit.
Farmers would receive credit at
cost, plus small fractional
charge for reserves.
The system would issue cur
rency as the Federal Reserve does
and save interest charges of bond
financing, with a probable loan
interest rate of 81 per cent.
This proposal is worth watch
ing. 1t rnay develop an enormous
backing.

promised to impose a code on the
recalcitrant telegraph industry,
These developments are sam
pies of definite increasing trend
toward Federal supervision of in
dustry which Congress will abet
rather than abort.
Roosevelt and Congress also
will see to it that the Govern
ment retains its position as an
umpire in industrial disputes. In
legislative collective bargaining
and other rights for labor, Con-
gress may even pass more drastic
laws than Roosevelt wants.
TINE present situation with re-
l. spect TO collective bargaining
and Section IA of MIRA is badly
muddled, with industry in open
revolt against decisions of the
National Labor Relations Board
which in turn is sometimes in
conflict with NRA.
Roosevelt, however, isn't dis
posed to make much change in
the present labor relations set-up.
He doesn't want either capital or
labor to be given too much adj
vantage"
But Senator Wagner of New
York, strong Administration
man, is again introducing his
anti-company- union bill, which
would reinforce and continue the
NLRB as a supreme court for la
Dor and enable it to initiate nego-
tiations to end disputes, sub
poena witnesses, and compel sub
mission of records.
Wagner may even ask to have
the majority rule principle set up
by NLRB established in law.
OF course, the bulk of industry
~ will bitterly fight the Wagner
bill. Officially, it favors a policy
of collective bargaining only when
agreeable to both sides, which
means when labor, without the
assistance of Government, is able
to wrest that right.

NOBODY seems to give much thought to the
question whether it is ever going to be paid and
If so how Nobody living will live to see the dav
when 1t Is paid, for the debt is going to be be-
queathed with best regards to posterity along with
a system of bridges, motor highways, model tene-

custom-made hlyponds and paintings of COWS in the
meadow eating buttercups.
1t can only be reported that in Washington just
now, where the figures are housed, nobody any
longer feels any pain. There are about 10000 Gov
eminent employees in town, many of them with two

everything seem all right. The statesmen long ago
gave up trying to appreciate the immensely of the

there than has existed at any time
previously and to obtain congress
sional sanction for preservation of
wage and hour standards and fair
practice provisions which would
otherwise vanish with expiration
of the MIRA in June.
VOU may anticipate with vir-
\ tuai certainty that the new
Congress will answer the demand
of many business interests for
less government interference"
with law which will provide at
least as much Federal supervision
as the present MIRA.
The actual administration atti-
tude is that unregulated self
government of industry would
simply mean industrial chaos.
Legislation will follow the lines
of administration policy. Indus
tries which sought the privilege
of fixing prices and controlling
production in return for accept
ance of minimum wage and maxi
mum hour standards have found
the going rougher of late.
The Administration has learned
that it must try to protect the
consumer as we'll as the laborer
unless such artificial methods and
resultant higher prices are to
choke off recovery.
1T has become Startlingly clear
Il that Roosevelt means to keep
a whip-hand over industry and to
crack his whip when he considers
it necessary. Industries which &C
copied codes have had those codes
changed by the President after
periods of operation convinced
officials that parts of them were
not working out in the public
interest.
