6. W. STUDENTS
GO TO POLLS

The George Washington Uni
versity campus was a political
battle-ground today as students of
all shades of political opinion,
ranging from extreme conServa-
tism to extreme radicalism, went
to the polls in the university
Union election.
With an efficiency and guSto
that would do credit to such poll
ticians as Jim Farley and John
Hamilton, campaign managers for
the Right. Left and Center Parties
distributed handbillS, buttons and
propaganda to all students.
"The Left Party offers a pro-
gram for an abundant Amer
ica."
"Vote Center! We believe in
a sane and orderly Govern
ment."
"The Right Party believes in
restoring this country to the
people"
The students are voting for the
three parties, the representatives
of the parties being secondary to
the platform. The Right, Left
and Center candidates are Ben
nett Willis. Charles F. Kiefer, jr.,
and Robert j. Doolan, respective
ly. The Union, conducted much
the same as the Federal Govern
ment, is a forum for the discus
sion Of national policies, social,
economic and political.
According to Sylvia Bahar, the
Left party is farmer-labor party,
advocating a peoples front.

Instead of the country 60
ing to the dogs, as sometimes
rumOred, it looks as if it's
now headed for the ballOtbOx,
from the way New York city's
registrations for election have
broken all records by a half
a million. No matter how the
voters feel about prosperity,
they seem well aware of the
fact that at least the polling
booth is just around the
corner.
It's certainly good to see that
our citizens at last fully ap-
preciate the privilege of cast
ing a ballot. An American
voting booth is one of the few
places where you can voice a
protest against the Government
without the aid of guns.
The Republicans report that
most of the chSck-up in vari-
Gus magazines, and newspa-
pers, show that the Democrats
will be defeated. . Evidently,
they're hoping this will be the
Straw.vOte that broke the

size Of the crowds promising

a cinch that nObOdy'S going to

Senator Promises D. G
Bill If Necessary
To Speed Action

Creation of a Peoples Court for
the District has the hearty ap
proval of Senator William H. King
CD of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, tha
legislator said today.
The chairman recalled that two
years ago he had suggested just
such an institution and called
uron the legislative drafting bu.
reau at the Capitol to look into
the matter. Other pressing legis,
lation pushed the proposition into
the background. The Senator de.
C]ared today:
TO PUSH BILL
81 am very glad that Judge
Nathan CaytOn has revived this
suggestion. l am in favor of the
creation of such a court and, if
legislation is necessary, will
see that it is introduced at the
next session of Congress.
II have again called upon the
legislative drafting experts to
look into the matter and pre-
pare a bill.
81 do not think it would be
necessary to have another
judge appointed to take care
of the situation, but / think one
of the judges in the Munich
pal Court could very well be
assigned to this work.
INFORMAL COURT
I'm my mind the court should
be designed to handle cases in
vOlving less than $50. 1t should
. be informal in character and
carried out SO that the litigantS
could come right to the clerk,
make stheirecOmplaintS and have
them irOned out at the earliest
convenience in an informal seS-
sion. No pleadingS should be
necessary and no technical ju.
dicial bars would be put up to
prevent frank discussions of the
cases."

Public Health Service
Doctors Will Check
Materials

Tracking the source of q nys-
ferrous poison that has been af.
flicting plate printers at the Blu
reau Of Engraving and Printing
with a violent rash, a group of
physicians attached to the United
States Public Health Service to-
day launched an intensive study
into the cause of the ailment.
Alvin w. Hall, director of the
bureau, revealed that several print
erS have been disabled as a result
of the skin infection and now are
receiving disability compensation,
and that still larger group work
ing at the bureau have milder
form of the disease.
Will Examine 42O
The investigation by the Public
Health Service will necessitate ex-
animation of 400 Bureau employees
who come directly in contact with
certain types Of material suspected
of causing the ailment.
DR.. P. A. Neal, one of the in
veStigating physicians, pointed out
that there will be a preliminary
probe of the cause of the rash.
which will include an analysis of
every ingredient of the material
and then a more extensive survey
that probably will continue over
18 months.
He pointed cut that some of
the modern materials used in
printing currency and stamps were
of highly complicated nature
and that they contain so differ
ent kinds of chemicals.
Can't Find Cause
The poisoning, according to DR..
Neal, has never been fully investi-
gated, and physicians to date
have been unable to determine its
exact cause or cure.
The bureau and one other in
dustrial institution which prints
the currencies and stamps of for
eign countries are the only estab-
liShmentS which could be affected
by the particular from of disease
being Investigated, as they are the
only ones that use the type of
material which is supposed to
have caused the malady.
DR.. Neal pointed out that plate
printing is a highly specialized
art, and that it requires the crafts
man to come directly in contact
with the materials with his bare
hands.
