BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 13.-James
Montgomery Beck, former Solicitor
General of the United States and
Representative from Pennsylvania,
died unexpectedly at his home
here late yesterday.
MIR. Beck, who was rs had prac-
ticed law in Washington since his
retirement from the House in 1894.
He had been prominent recently as
an American Liberty League attor-
ney and as a bitter critic of the
New Deal.
His physician said the cause of
death was coronary thrombosis, a
heart aillnent. He had appeared
well at luncheon, but collapsed later
and died at 4:30. Funeral arrange
ments have not been announced.
Mr.. Beck, in the midst of his third
term in the House, announced his
retirement on Sept. IS, 1884, because,
he said, under present conditions
Congress is merely a rubber stamp
for the executive, and to be one
four-hundredth part of a rubber
stamp no longer appeals to me-"
Because of his reputation as a
constitutional lawyer, Mr.. Beck had
taken an active part in Liberty
League opinions regarding consti-
nationality of New Deal laws. He
argued against the IVA, which the
Supreme Court recently upheld.
Mr.. Beck was. Solicitor General
from 1921 to 1925, in the Harding
and Coolidge Administrations. In
his early political career he was a
Democrat. He went over to the
Republican Party because of his OPP
position to the free silver" policy
of William Jennings Bryan.

THERE isn't any particular point
l. in this except that it may help
the outsider better to understand
some of the bizarre behaviors of
the country.
But seriously, in my book these
two teams figure as the class of the
league. The Tigers spotted the rest
of the league a months run OF
mediocrity last year and then won
going away, coming from nowhere
They are stronger now.
The veteran AL Simmons can help
the Tigers a lot, but it may not
make any difference whether he
does or doesn't. They won without
him last year. True enough, few
clubs ever manage to win three
championships in a row. The Tigers
of 1907, '08 and '09 did, so plainly
there is no law against their mod
ern prototypes repeating.
TINE st. Louis Cardinals are the
i popular choice to win the Ma
tional League pennant and of course

resources is always a fairly safe
selection. But it should be kept If

The rap against the Cubs is thai

But who says they'll have to? Al

ably could have won if they hac
taken no more than seven straight

The statue was presented to In
dianapolis by the people of the
state of Indiana. 1t was moved
to Garfield Park in 1915.
Note the easy pose of the statue
and the naturalness of the folds
in the clothing. Note, too, the
martial expression of the military
man which the artist has sue
ceeded in catching. Unlike much
other biographical sculpture of
the period, which generally had
about as much life as the cast
iron deer you used to see scat
tered on lawns, this figure has a
, living, vital quality.

FACE AT Il

MARLBORO, N. Y, Frederic
William Goudy observed his list
birthday buy cutting the last
matrix of his most recent type
face in the renovated cloth mill
here which is his workshop and
headquarters Of the oldest private
press in the United States. AS yet
unnamed, the new type face Is his
9th, and he said it deserved cele-
bration more than his birthday.
He said:
"It's strong and simple. 1t will
make a good black page. But /
can't trust my own judgment
any longer. The popularity Of
these new, bizarre styles in type
makes me realize that I've never
been a really great designer. II l
had been, people who have
learned to read from type that I
designed would have better
taste"
Although the modern vogue for
distortion in type faces fills him
with dismay, Mr.. Goudy said to-
day that he was not discouraged.
He recalled the discharge from a
position as bookkeeper in Chicago
40 years ago that started him as
a type designer, and the fire in
1908 which destroyed everything
he had done and left him and his
wife total assets Of less than 81.

smarted with shame. The
thought of these Americans return
ing to the United States and de-
scribing how glorious was the life
of workers in Russia made me
furious.
Victims Of Deception
And now that I am back in
America, and see these friends OF
labor, and professors hold forth
about the freedom and happiness
of the Soviet workers. I find that
I have no means Of convincing
them that they were victims OF a
terrible deception.
Can a plain workingwoman be
believed by the American intellec-
tuals? Stalin's propaganda ma
chine seems stronger than all the
testimony of all the common
workers who went to Russia to
give their all to Communism and
who have come back shattered by
their experiences.
The American friends" Of
labor may be deceived, but the
Soviet masses know that their
enemy is the Soviet government,
and that history will still give
them a chance to. settle accounts
with the tyranny Of Stain.

a passport fee Of 6 rubles.
TOOK ALL GRAIN AWAY
II had to deliver IS pools
(1,26O pOunds) of potatoes from
each hectare (leSS than two and
One-half acres), 312 quarts Of
milk from each COW, nearly so
pounds Of meat from each cow
slaughtered, and q third Of a
pound Of wool from each sheep
ShOrn.
"They took all our grain away.
We paid as much as rubleS .
pound for bread. Lots Of people
perished. So 1 came to Moscow"
There were millions like this
peasant woman who deserted the
land which their families had cul-
tivated for generations. Incredibly
hard as life was for the industrial
workers, it still seemed like a
refuge to the pepole from the coun-
try. In the cities one could beg,
and the chance for survival was
greater.
Occasionally our factory work
erS did enjoy a special feast. This
happened when foreign delegates
visited the Elektrozavod-one OF
the Soviet model plants. 1 re-
call particularly the coming Of an
American delegation in 1898.
"SOnia," the women in my
shop said to me, "let'S make for
the restaurant. Today we will
have a heal meal"
The ordinary price Of a meal
was from two to two and half
rubles. I seldom went there be-
cause of the cost. and the food
was uneatable. How amazed I
was when I reached the restau-
rant this time.
Brings Magic Change
The tables were covered with
cloths! The main dish served
was meat. The American delega-
ton had wrought magic change.
Some of the delegates asked us
how much we paid for the meal.
The workingwomen replied two
rubles and 40 kopeks. The interp-
reter translated it as 40 kopeks.
One of the delegates asked a
working girl how much she earned.
The answer was IS rubles month.
The interpreter translated it as
275 rubles.
I thought I would burst from
rage, but I suppressed my indigna-
ton. There was not a woman in
our shop who earned more than
$50 rubleS.
But the meal was a real banquet

lea. We are both in the same
class, except that 1 will get
my freedom soon and you will
remain a slave. When 1 re-
turn to America 1 will tell the
workers there how you live
here"
I gathered up a few things
which belonged to my daughter
and gave them to the poor
woman. But there are millions
like her. In the Elktrozavod
where I was employed I was
the envy Of the Russian work
ingwomen. Often they would ask
me why the Soviet government
lied to them about America when
they themselves could see that
Americans were well-dreSSed and
well-fed.
"Why don't you ask COmrade
Stain that question:" l once
turned upon my factory friends.
I'VE know that it's a great
deception they sighed. But
tell us, why did you come here?
Why don't you 80 back to

She gave gruesome details. An
other peasant woman who had
just found a job in our factory
picked up the conversation.
"I had a little farm In the

me. II had to leave 1t because
it was impossible to pay the

How Free Are We?

1t has always been the pride and boast of Amer
lea that it is the home of the free. But just how
free are We? With our hundreds and thousands OF
federal and state laws to say nothing of city ordi-
nances, what citizen can go through a day of "a
hours without consciously unconsciously violating
more of them!
Yet, Ignorance OF the law excuses no man." And
yet again, official in hundred is familiar
with all the laws and ordinances which he is sworn
to enforce.
1t is true, of course, that the increasing COM
plexity of civilZation-or is it civilization?ap
pears to make laws necessary from time to
time But is there any justification for the orgy of
law-making, with its inevitable accompaniment of
law-breakng which this country has witnessed in re-
cent years?
The most disturbing result of all this is that
really serious crimes, such murder, burglary, ar
and the like are not always punished while the
ordinarily decent citizen is harassed in his business
and in his private life by maze of laws and bureau
cratic regulations which require army of officials
to enforce And at that they not enforced.
1t looks as if we are paying tremendous price
for government, the principal object of which ap-
pears to be the destruction of those fundamental
rights for which forefathers fought and died.

that Martin Nelson is a real lead

praised Mr.. Nelson's statemanlike

grasp the fact of his real greatness
