The Point Of View

 This is the season for returning American travel CTS to observe how chaotic and depressing most for eign countries and how peaceful and secure life Is in America That certainly is of the benefits of foreign travel recalls to forgetful minds the manifold advantages of ones own country But it Is also possible that the comparisons most Americans make when travelling abroad somewhat lopsided. Very often they fail to the depressing side of life in their own land because they live rather isolated from the ugly currents of the American scene
 How many of those who have lately seen the horrors Of revolution in Spain the tense armed truce in Palestine have visited the onion fields of Ohio during strike? Or have actually entered tenement in the most filthy of large Ameri- can city? Or have toured the land of the share croppers whose poverty matches anything in Europe? How many of them realize that Kidnapping is far more common here than in any European country How many realize that there more unemployed in this rich nation than in any other in the world?
 We do enjoy great blessings, in America But there is tendency to see America in terms of the comfortable existence of it's middle class and to com- pare this with the obvious poverty and unrest which greet the traveller in any foreign country To make an accurate comparison, should tour the United States as he would foreign country forming impress sons anew. That might disclose painful short comings in American life that need the utmost atten ton we would boast of higher standard of living and our greater security.

Rosenberg Recalls
Old Days i'm Yard

They were hectic days in the
Washington Navy Yard, those in
1898 at the time Of the Spanish
American War.
Louis Rosenberg, Of 728 Sixth
St. S. E., recalled them today as
he recounted his early employ
ment in the local gun factory,
where he started his career in
1898.
Hired and Fired
Explaining that there was a
great amount of unemployment in
those days. he said:
Because Of the difficulty
men encountered in getting any
kind Of work, they all thought
that a job with the Govern
ment was a great opportunity,
and many came to the Yard
looking for employment.
"They had to hire lots of men
at the Yard, and of all the ap-
plicants a large number never
had seen the inside Of a machin-
ist's9ShOp before. There was no
way for those who did the hiring
to know this, however, and the
result was that many machines
were wrecked because of the un-
familiarity of some with the
machines. OF course, there
we're many of the inefficient
who got hurt, too.
"The job of sorting out the
good wOrkmen from the bad was
a great one, and consequently
there were as many as half a
dozen hired and as many fired
each day.
NOW ALL PROFICIENT
"FinalIy, however, the situa-
ton was Strengthened out, and
the men who were kept were all
proficient machiniSts. Now they

International News Service


Omen, arch enemies of killers,
blackmailers and robbers, today
emerged from their underworld
prowls in five States to track down
turkey buyers.
Relinguishing their machine
guns, tear gas, and similar weap-
onS which have brought under
world leaders to final accountings,
they began an extensive investi-
cation into complaints of alleged
price fixing of the holiday birds
by wholesale buyers.
Many Complaints
Announcement that G-men have
moved into the turkey market was
made by Attorney General Cum
mings, after receipt of complaints
from turkey growers in Texas,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Utah.
The complaints charged buyers
Of large numbers of turkeys con-
spired and agreed to fix maxi
mum price for turkeys on the farm.
The purpose of the agreement,
turkey raisers charged, was to OBJ
tain a greater margin of profit
through retail distribution Of the
birds.
The Attorney General said:
81 want to make it emphatic
that these complaints are receiv-
ing the very serious attention
Of this department. The Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation will
make a study to determine
whether or not the antitrust
laws have been violated. They
will confer first with the per-
sons who filed the complaints"
INVESTIGATION HURRIED
The Attorney General said the
investigation will be completed be-
fore Thanksgiving.
Prominent among the complain
ants were Representative C. l..
South CD of Texas, the Texas
Turkey Growers Association, Mel
son County Farmers Union Of
North Dakota, and a number of
individual raisers in Pennsylvania,
Utah and Ohio.
