MISS EARHART PROTESTS

THE resignation of Helen Richey, the first woman
- to be licensed as a commercial air pilot, brings
a protest from Amelia Earhart 1t should. If the
Commerce Department sticks to its ruling that
women pilots are untitled for the dangerous work
of flying in bad weather. only the limited field of
stunt flying, exploration and private plotting will
be open
Perhaps not many transport companies would en-
gage women pilots Yet it seems to us that COM
panies should have that liberty.
Helen Richey has proved that she is able to han
die commercial ships AS time goes on there will be
other Helen Richeys
Much of the best flying, as well as much of the
best motor driving, is done by women.

SUPERIORITY COMPLEX
LAID TO JOHNSON

BY J. L. N.
Gen. Hugh S. johnson having
completed his summary of the
Roosevelt Cabinet, has only con-
demnation for each of several very
sincere and able administrators.
Who is this self-styled genius OF
superiority complex to denounce the
successful efforts of these qualified
executives? If the general does not
know it, the country at large does
know, that he has proven to be the
champion of fizzlers in almost every
attempt either in private or public
life, therefore should be the last to
condemn others.
If the President is due any criti-
cism for any appointments, the Sc
lection of the general-even a Sec
ond time-after flzzling the first
probably is outstanding.
Had the President only appointed
the general to fill every one of the
offices in the cabinet, possibly the
country by this time would be the
example of perfection and have a
satisfied citizen in the now col
umnist" who may see, but never un-
derstand.

EDUCATION WEEK

plague, and pestilence struck, people
looked on in horror-helpless to de-
fend themselves.

scientific playthings which TODAY

maps more astounding and far

Ideas within the college walls. That
was one failure of education in
Galileo's day. People did not I'M
derstand. The aims and accom-
plshments Of education were not
interpreted to them.
Today people are asking: Does
education pay? Does it pay to have
one million boys and girls in Amer
lean colleges? 1t is undoubtedly true
that discoveries concerning human
nature have not kept pace with
those concerning nature. Still one
reason why the American nation has
not followed European nations with
revolutions of blood rather than
with revolutions of the ballot prob
ably is that American citizens prob
had more training in universities
and colleges than any other people
in the world.
Education Week is here. The ma
ton is again taking stock of its
schools and colleges. All of this
helps in giving us an education that
means something. At least we no
longer burn our professors at the
stake.

PAGING HAYWOOD BROUN
FOR UPPER LEFT COLUMN

By Guy D. sallee
Oh, where is our Haywood Broun
tonight?
But look who you've got in his
column, Editor!
A real general, who is forever
blowing bubbles in the face of his
sick chicken.
AS columnist, he's flop. Proof
here it's.
The General says in his column
The Way I See 1t:
His sorrows crown of sorrow is
that the popular 11aisconception of
his gluttonous, but foodless feast, "
etc, etc.
Believe it or not, the Generals
column on Farley Wednesday quail
fies for Ripley's Museum of Oddi-
ties.
I suspect the General is either
locoed or buckeyed SO we say to
him, GO west, young man, go
west, and grow up with the coun-
try"
Give us in the left-hand column
our own Haywood Broun. We like
him because his opinions and criti-
cisms are typically Broun's. That 5
how we know him, and why we like
his column.

All wounds will heal in time,

FROM THE DOCTORS VIEWPOINT

The recent gathering Of the Amer
lean Medical Association at Atlantic
City heard large quantities of sound
social sense. DR.. James S. McLester,
Of Birmingham, Alabama, the new
president Of the association, said in his
inaugural address that the health,
length Of life, stature and even ca
pacity for culture of human beings is
profoundly dependent on their diet.
Science, said Dr. McLester, has learn
ed what that diet should be; but
society has not advanced far enough
to supply it.
1T is difficult, said Dr.. Lester, ''to
estimate how many persons in this
country are unable to purchase the
food necessary to keep them in health
But it can be said that something
like 100000 American people are
living near or below the level of nu-
tritive safety This condition, if con-
tinued, will surely affect the health
Of the race The income of these peo-
pie must be raised, or the price of
food lowered.
Any plan that proposes to elevate
racial standards by improved nutri-
tion must give serious consideration to
political and economic factors, for to
carry out such plan, food must be
produced in adequate amounts at a
price that the public can pay. Ade-
quate nutrition in the last analysis is
a problem of education and Of the
government
In a sense, this is the old rule-of-
thumb saying that "man is what he
eats" But Dr. McLester recites
briefly how animals can be changed
and developed by diet, and declares
fatty that medical science is advanced
enough to do the same for mankind
if economic factors would permit
Every doctor knows that a too meager
diet in childhood is very likely to stunt
the growth; and every teacher should
know, after the experience Of this
depression, that an underfed child can
not learn much from books.
In the past said DR.. McLester
Science has conferred on those peo-
pies who availed themselves of the

homes and families and dreams. Per-
haps dreams come ahead of many
other things.
Strange how the unreal things be-
come the most real of all, while the
real is something to get away from SO
often
AS the real becomes happier real
ity it loses it's forbidding nature and
there is more contentment in living
with things as they are
But for today, there is an enormous
surging Of hope to find better
time, if even but for an hour in some
dramatic escape into play acting, as
shorn of responsibility as it is filled
with color and happiness.

WAGNER AND
GUFFEY BILLS
Win Roosevelt's Support

BY A. F. of L. News Service.
Washington, D. C.-In a conference
with congressional leaders. President
Roosevelt included the Wagner-Con-
merry labor disputes bill and the Guf-
fey coal stabilization bill among the
measures which he insisted should be
passed without delay
Chairman O'Connor, of the house
rules committee, promptly called the
commission together for hearing
on the procedure to get the Wagner
Connery bill before the house 1t has
already been adopted by the senate
and reported to the house twice by
the labor eommittee--once before the
supreme court decision declarisg the
NRA unconstitutional and again after
the committee had amended it in cer-
tain directions to meet the objections
raised by the court in its NRA edict
The Guffey bill was favorably re-
ported by the senate interstate COM
Imerce committee some weeks ago, but
has not been taken up for action 1t
was hoped that it would get through
both houses before June 16, the day
scheduled for the bituminous coal
miners strike to begin, but the con-
certed delay in the senate made such
prompt enactment impossible.

Hosiery Workers Try To
Unionize Minneapolis Mill

Minneapolis, Mimi. (ILNS)-After
several weeks of quiet organization
work, Organizer Cleo Casebeer, of the
American Federation Of Hosiery
Workers, has publicly launched a
drive to unionize the Strutwear Hos
iery Mills here. The company has
adopted the customary tactics of firing
men suspected of being union sympa-
thizers. The discharges took place i'm
mediately after the supreme court de-
cision was announced.
Organizer Casebeer plans a whirl-
wind drive to establish an effective
union among the Strutwear workers
This concern is probably the only full
fashioned plant in the industry that
pays weekly wages only, and has no
piece rate scales whatsoever.

JOBS in STEEL
Industry Decreased During
Month of April
By A. F. of L. News Service.

BY A. +. of l.. News Service.
New York, N. Y.-Those who own
and dominate the steel industry con-
tributed nothing toward providing
jobs for thousands of idle steel work
ers during April, according to fig
ures made public by the American
Iron and Steel Institute.
Total employment in the steel in
dustry,' the institute said, during
April was 424,623, decrease of only
one-eighth of one per cent from the
total of 425, 5,189 employees in March. In
April, 1884, when operations averaged
52.64 per cent of capacity, compared
with 4918 per cent in March, 1885,
and 1928 per cent last month, All ,086
employees were on steel industry pay
rolls"
The statement also pointed out that
the purchasing power Of steel indus
try employees was two per cent lower
in April than in March, but slightly
in excess of April, 1884. The payroll
figures given are: April, $45, 800, PA;
March, $46,764,185; April, 1884, $45,-
All ,878.
"The average hourly wage rate in
the steel industry in April" the state
ment said, was 65.9 cents, the high
est average rate for the entire indus
try since employment and payroll rec
ords have been collected by the in
stitute.

wEyD AND THE NRA DECISION

WEVD AND THE NRA DECISION
How a radio station can be of sery-
ice to labor was illustrated by Sta
ton WEVD following the supreme
court decision on NRA. WEVD saw
its opportunity and lost no time in
starting a series presenting labor
views on the decision. David Dublin
sky, president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union, led
eff with an important statement, to
which every member Of the union was
asked to listen. Another speaker was
Chester NJ Wright, editor Of Inter
national Labor News Service.
The decision and its meaning to
labor and the nation was discussed in
the next few days by several promi-
nent labor spokesmen, including
Chairman William T Connery, Jr.,
of the house labor committee, and
sYork State Federation Of Labor.
George Meany, president of the New
WEVD, which is a New York city
station with united labor support, was
highly complimented for its pro
grams on the decision.
