The greatest human right is the right to enjoy health. The gov- ernment should encourage all activ- ities in that direction.
 Because of technological and so- cial advances the nation has entered a period of shorter working days which provide much additional op- portunity for recreation and enter tainment. If this extra time can be utilized in health-giving pursuits such as athletic activities on open air playgrounds. the individual and the nation will be benefited"

ing eagerly a book on Greedy by Col.
William Mitchell, who died last week.
It is perhaps known only to their
intimates that the explorer and fiery
discoverer were close friends. that
Mitchell, in fact, owed his career in
the Army to Greedy.
Mitchell enlisted at 10. Some time
later Gen. Brainard recalls, probably
at the request Of the elder Mitchell,
Senator, Gen. Greedy saw to 1t that
the boy was made a second lieutenant
in the Signal Corps which he headed.
A harum-scarum youth with the same
proplivity for getting into trouble that
was to cause him in later years to be
the central figure in celebrated court
martial, Mitchell fell afoul of an officer
under whom he was serving and the
result was a recommendation that he
be severely disciplined-perhaps even
busted"
Greedy depurred. Some concessions
had to be made for youngsters, he
said, and further, he argued, there
would be no justice In asking action
that might be felt through life.
That view prevailed-and Mitchell
never forgot. Brainard is not inter-
ested in the efforts of DR.. Frederick
A. Cook to have his polar claims sub.
stantiated by the American Geo.
graphic Society.
Cook, he says bluntly, is a cake"
pointing out that when the Univer-
sity of Stockholm looked over his
records they found nothing but a
chronological account Of activities,
unsupported by any scientific data.
And although Gen. Greedy, he says,
always doubted that Admiral Robert
E. Peary reached the Pole. he felt
otherwise.
II never doubted it," he says IT
knew Peary well. and If he didn't
reach the Pole. know he thought
he did"

Strenuous" it is more than likely
that Brainard would have wanted no

ROBINSON BRINGS
I BILLS TO LIFE
Rural Identification, Chain
Store and Stock Yard
Measures Get 0. K.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A status of Give legislation" was
given by majority leader Robinson
yesterday to seven Senate bills, in
cluding the rural electrification, chain
store and Capper stockyards measures.
Robinson said he had agreed to per-
NIT sponsors of the bills to bring
them up for floor consideration this
week or as early as possible between
appropriation measures having right
Of way.
His decision, announced to reporters
clustered about his desk, threw open
the gates of debate on some Of the
most controversial legislation facing
the session.
The list Of seven also included a
measure by Coolidge Democrat, Of
Massachusetts,, for deportation and
exclusion of undesirable aliens; the
Panama Canal tolls bill by Senator
Gore Democrat, of Oklahoma), and
two measures by Senator Fletcher
democrat, of Florida.
One of the Fletcher bills would in
crease capital of the Commodity
Credit Corp. from 100000 to
$100000,000 to aid in financing mar
keting of agricultural products. The
other would "reafirm" the immunity
from taxation of preferred stock, CAPT.
tai notes and debentures of State and
national banks in the hands of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
Robinson emphasized that he was
giving no preferred status" to the
legislation, and had not decided in
what order any of it would come up
His decision, however gave promise of
busy days for the Senate for the re-
. naming weeks of the session.
The Capper bill to extend super
vision of the Secretary of Agriculture
over private stock yards as well as
over public yards has been the center
of battle for several sessions.
Reported out by the Agriculture
Committee last August 10, it was de-
signed to prevent packers using sup
plies of livestock in their own yards
to influence the price in public yards
Moreover, it would prohibit packers
running feeder yards as source Of
supply.
The rural identification bill by Sen
ator Norris of Nebraska, Republican,
would authorize rural identification
administration to lend 100000, 900
yearly for 10 years to finance power
plants, distributing systems and wiring
for farmers.
The chain store bill, introduced by
Robinson, was designed to prevent re-
bates or special benefits being granted
by brokers to large purchasers to the
disadvantage of small stores.
The Panama Canal bill, already de-
bated for several days earlier in the
session, was intended to plug asserted
''loopholes" in the tolls act. but it
brought protests from number Of
Senators who claimed it Disseminated
against certain classes of vessels.
