Election Day: Not Here

While those citizens of various sections OF the United
States-not Westinghouse exercising their voting
privilege today to be good time to call attention
to the effort being made to purify what little political
activity the District enjoys.
We refer to the political primaries held here every
four years to elect delegations to represent the city at
the national conventions of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties.
Those primaries are the nearest our citizens come
to hauing any political life, unless you count the
privilege of paying taxes to pay the relOards of
kenchn,en of the national politicians WhO control
the cOn1nunityS AFFAIRS
Heretofore the primary elections of the party delega
hons in the District have scarcely deserved that name
They have had no authority in law; no kind Of super
vision; virtually no votes and have existed largely to
further the political ambitions of few so-caled party
leaders.
So far as choosing delegations representative Of the
rank and file of the parties in Washington the primaries
have become absurdity.
SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE VIEWPOINT
OF WASHINGToNIANs THE DELEGATIONS FIRE.
QUENTLY HAVE INCLUDED THOSE WHO HAD NO
RESIDENCE IN THE CITY AND NO SHADOW OF
INTEREST IN LOCAL AFFAIRS.
These facts have long been known to and resented by
large part of citizens the resentment taking the
form of total lack OF participation IN any party ac-
tivity.
Some of those who have watched the deporable con-
dtons resulting from the unsupervised primaries have
prepared bill legalizng the primaries and providing
standards for their conduct.
The bill is pending in Congress.
Its Objectives should enlist the support of all of
our citizens vO are at all interested in decent poll
tics and decent government.
It is true that enactment of this bill with consequent
Improvement in the primary elections would not bring
about any immediate apparent effect in local govern
mental conditions.
BUT IT WOULD 60 FAR TOWARD MAINTAINING
THE sELF-REsPECT OF PARTY MEMBERS IN THE
CITY AND IT MIGHT, IN TIME, BE THE MEANS OF
GAINING THE CITY AS A WHOLE A LITTLE RE-
SPECT FROM THE NATIONAL POLITICIANS WHO
AT PRESENT THINK THAT THE NATIONAL CAP1-
TAI IS A FAIR DUMPING GROUND FOR LEGISLA-
TIVE THEORIES AND HARD-UP CONSTITUENTS.

BATTLE OF BOOKS

Into the 1885 battle Of books,
Donald R. Richberg, past poten-
tate of the NRA, throws a new
volume.
1t is a mild attack on the nest
Of the Blue Eagle.
Like his predecessor, Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson. Richberg criti'
cizes the NRA after his exit from
office.
Both men, warm defenders OF
the now defunct National Re
covery Administration when they
were it's moguls, find several rea'
sons why they should condemn
many Of it's principles when the
Blue Eagle is no longer the
golden goose it was.
In his book, Richberg discusses
plans to revive the NRA at the
next session Of Congress and
gives his views Of the failure al
we'll as accomplishments of the
agency slaughtered by the Su
preme Court.
Richberg's book is to be pub
lished in February and probably
will be one of the many tones
published prior to elections.
There Is some expectation that
Claude Bowers, present emissary
to Spain, will publish a book
ere long and express the apollo
gies Of the present Administra'
ton.
Other apologists are likely to
utter their explanations before
the 1885 test.
There is little doubt that some
Of the hundreds of press agents
recruited by the Raw Deal Will
issue ponderous reflections either
while in office or after their
designations.
There is little doubt, however
that a vast percentage Of the per
sons associated with this Admins
tration will give the publishers a
merry task before it passes into
history.

ASK REGULATION

While Congress is inactive, ths
utility interests are continuing
their attack on holding-company
legislation on large scale.
Investigations into their lobbieS
have not prevented distribution of
propaganda against utility legisla.
tion.
In a recently issued pamphlet,
the statement was made Of the
1885 public utility act:
"ItS passage was the successful
elimination of an intensive, highly
organized campaign of attack
against one of the country's vital
industries, waged for many years
by the proponents of Government
ownership of utilities, and more
recently by advocates of the theory
that "the State" should control all
economic activity"
This same pamphlet concludes:
at remains for the people Of
the United States to demand regu-
lation. not destruction, Of one Of
it's most vital industries, and to
demand that this threat to pri.
vate ownership and management
Of all business be supplanted by
program of fair and reasonable
regulation"
BY this method the utilities hope
to reclaim some Of the advantages
lost in the last Congress.

Eyebrow Lore

met recently in New York, intro

are made in "a1l colors and shapes,

are made for men as well as
women.
Eyebrows are revealing, dia-

much of anything about them in
any of the encyclopedias. An

BECAME REFLEX
The idea, as I recall it, was
about like this: Primitive man,
just getting up on his hind legs,
was shaggy creature with bee
ting brows and bushy eyebrows
which, in their normal state,
tended to obscure his vision. Sur.
prised or alarmed, he inStinctively
raised his eyebrows, obviously to
get a clear outlook.
This became quick, sure reflex
with a definite survival value, and
John G. Neanderthal got home
safely to his cave and the little
wife and kiddies because, with
clear vision, he got the first
glimpse of his enemy and beat
him to the club or the rock. His
children inherited his sensitive
eyebrow muscles and, in the life
relay, there was a steady build-up
for the breeds with the hair-trig-
ger eyebrows.

tenance by the long and arduous
encounters which eventually
picked the Winners-and that's
what we are today, even crooners

Mr.. Rea makes no bones about his
book. He declares himself the press
representative of Manchoukuo in
his preface and BADLY informs the
reader that he is partisan in Japan's
defense. He declares that What it
(Japan) has done constitutes the
one step that the people of the East
have taken toward escape from the
misery and disagreement that
have been theirs. I believe that
the protection Japan is extending
to Manchoukuo gives it its only
chance of happiness"
And for almost 400 pages, Mr..
Rea goes on to prove his points,
one by one, in forceful and colorful
language. His book is well-written,
fascinating, and powerful. He sees
Manchoukuo as rightfully Japan's
under international law, seemingly
proves it, and rakes American policy
over the Goals in handsome style.
In more moderate and more
idealistic terms does Mr.. Gulick
handle the problem. No thunderer
like Mr.. Rea, Mr.. Gulick nonethe-
less makes a good case for Japan.
If we will treat the Asiatic across
the seas" he writes, land also
Asiatics in our midst as we would
like to be treated were we in their
place there will be no military
struggle. If we see to it that there
is no white peril for the yellow
man there will be no yellow peril
for the white man"
Mr.. Gulick has the reputation for
rigid honesty and his ably worded
book should be valuable volume
for every student of Japanese
American relations.
For good, solid foundation on
Japan and her problems (pro-Nip-
pom, of course, Times readers are
recommended to Mr.. Gulicks book.
For more advanced students Mr..
Rea's thunder is worthwhile con-
tribution.

DENTAL CARE,
DOCTORS TOLD
Government Studying Broad
Project, Health Off,
Ger Says.

A definite program which will pro-
vide adequate dental care for United
States citizens has been proposed,
and now is being considered by the
Federal government. Dr. c. T. Mess
ner, Washington. D. c., member OF
the United States Public Health
Service. announced here today.
The proposed program. DR.. Mess
ner told delegates to the seventy
seventh annual convention Of the In
diana State Dental Association, is
in three parts.
The first two provisions have been
approved and recommended by the
United States Public Health Service.
They will, if adopted, provide pre-
tentative dental care for more than
eight million children of the poor.
and restricted care for all persons on
relief or in public institutions.
All treatments will be by private
dentists, to be selected by the pa
tents. The restricted dental care
Of persons on relief and those in
institutions probably will deal only
with the elimination of infection and
the relief of pain.
Third provision of the proposed
program is Tor a credit or deferred
payment plan, TO be instituted by
dentists which will provide for dem
tai care on small weekly and
monthly payments.
A special meeting of the board
