Visiting Motorists

One reason why motor travel has in- creased so much all through the United States is the absence of legal rebus at state lines. The motoring vacationist can 20 from coast to coast and from the Ca iladian border to the Rio Grande without buying new tags anywhere-unless he accepts job or stays over the prescribed time limit--twenty-three days in Texas, ninety days in most states. The expira- ton date of his own tags fixes the limit fin two states.
 Rhode Island restricts the visiting mo- torist to single fuel tank of less than thirty-five gallons capacity, but that's not very serious restriction. MaSSa- chusetts requires that he have liability insurance in force. Connecticut state police may make him prove his car road worthy, though in practice they rarely bother him. Oregon requires him to reg fgter upon entering the state and mark his car with sticker, both free. If he's had an accident, Delaware requires him t0 prove he has $5,000 in cash or insur- ance for personal injury and $1,0O0 for property damage. If he Hunks that test he can't use the roads any more, even to leave the state.
 Otherwise. the roads are fine and the @elc0me signs are everywhere. If traffic regulations Lights, signals, turns, and so orl--were made uniform throughout the country there's be no handicaps at all.

 Behind all this is one of the most paradoxical hidden byplays in the New Deal.
 Chester Davis, when he joined
 the AAA, was not an imposing
 figure. He was an assistant to
 George Peek, then chief admin
 iStratOr.
 But General William I. Wester- welt, ex-arIny officer, soon cropped up as the real executive. He pretty much ran Peek and the whole show. Davis was very much on the gidelines.
 Liberal Aid
 About that time, Jerome Frank, AAA legal counsel, Gardner. Jack son of tho Consumers Division, and other liberals, put their heads together to help Davis. T hey felt that General Westervelt was case ing him completely out of the pie ture.
 But WeStervelt soon joined SEARS ROEBUCK; George Peck resigned and little Chester Davis proved capable of taking care of himself. He stepped up and up, finally became NO. l man in the AAA.
 And the minute he stepped into real power Chester fired Jerome Frank, Gardner Jackson, and other liberals who had once tried to help him. This purge of the AAA was incident to get Chester Da. wis in wrong with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
 Wallace remarked to close freinds at the time: Davis and Tugwell don't mix. They can't get together permanently. All ! want to do is to keep them both work. Ing together long enough to tide things Over."
 Meat Packers Friend
 The end of that period came last winter, upon passage of the new AAA bill. After that, Wallace went to the White House and asked for Chester Davis scalp. He argued that Davis was too close to the meat packers, flour naillers and other big proccssors.
 Chester was sent abroad to give him Q breathing spell. Simultan- eously, General Westervelt, once considered the enemy of Davis, came to his rescue. He offered .

 Mrs. Davis fell all over herself urging Chester to accept lt. And he didn't need much urging. He was almost broke.
 Davis Is parting with the New Deal on the best of terms, how ever, and will make speeches in the Midwest when needed.

 LandOn For Security
 A group of eastern republican leaders were out in Topeka the other day sizing Up Governor Landon. Among other things, they wanted to make sure that he was not too strong for Social Security.
 'Tvs got the New Deal stamp" they said, "and what's more, the Supreme Court is go. ing to throw it out as unc0n- stltutional."
 "Some parts of it, yes," said Landon, "but other parts gre constitutional, and must be kept"
 They argued but got nowhere.
 "The system of federal grants to cooperating states Is s0und," LandOn, insisted, land we might as we'll come out for 1t openly" He showed Q surprising acc quaintance with the details of the Social Security Act, also gen. uine interest in the head of the Social Security Board, John c. Winant, former republican gov- ernor of New Hampshire.
 'What do you think Winant will do In thls CampaIgn?" Lan- don asked.
 "T think he'll go fishing," the eastern leader replied.

STOCK YARDS BILL
SUBSTITUTE VOTED
Opposition Fails to Prevent
Defeat of Senator Cap.
per'S Measure.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Amid opposition protests that 1t
would permit the Secretary Of Agri-
culture to send man to Jail by his
personal decree" the Senate yester-
day passed a modified substitute for
the Capper stock yards bill, which
had been debated three days.
It was sent to the House, by vote
Of 80 to Is, where even its sponsors
predicted a rough road for 1t this
session. The bill would place packer
owned stock yards under the super
vision of the Secretary of Agriculture.
Defeat of his bill left Senator Cap
per. Republican. of Kansas slumped
disconsolately in his seat. Holly he
had battled Senators from the cattle
States of Wyoming. Arizona and Texas,
who objected to a provision prohibiting
packers from buying directly from
farmers. but requiring them instead
to purchase from competitive public
markets.
Bill as Substitute.
Senator Connally, Democrat, OF
Texas advanced the bill proposed by
Senator Murphy. Democrat, of Iowa
as a substitute, saying he did so only
to defeat the Capper bill"
The Murphy bill would require
packers to put up bonds to insure
payments to cattle raisers, a measure
intended primarily to affect smaller
packers, since, said Secretary Wallace
in the letter, the big packers are, Of
course, financially responsible"
The bill also would broaden the
authority of the Secretary to proceed
against packers to correct unfair
trade practices and would authorize
filing of claims against packers for
violations of the stock yards act. The
present act allows claims to be filed
only against stock yard owners, mar
ket agencies and dealers.
The bill would extend the authority
of the Secretary over stock yard
owners or market agencies in rela-
ton to schedules of rates and regula-
tions for handling live stock and would
put upon the yards and agencies
the burden of proof of establishing
need of increases.
Penalty Possibility.
Violators could be suspended from
business and could be prohibited from
engaging in business again for any
period designated by the Secretary
up to two years. The Senate struck
out a provision under which any
stock yards or agency under the act
could be prohibited from giving en-
ployment to any violator.
Finally, the bill would open the
books of the packers to inspection
by the Secretary of Agriculture as
q means of enforcing other provisions
Of the stock yards act.
