The regrettable feature was
that, while the Senator knew all
about eating them, he could not
follow Senator Longs practice
and tell how to prepare them.
But he has promised to find out.
The whole thing came about
because a delegation of gentle

Huey Long may be dead, but his

John Overton, now the sole Sen
ator from Louisiana, is about to
take his late colleagues place in
the Senate as gastronomic ex-

Senator Overton'S emergence
from the shadow in which he sat
while Huey lived took place at a
meeting of the Senate Committee
on Commerce. The subject under
discussion was fish, and a lot was
being said by experts from the
Bureau of Fisheries about the
great falling off in the consump-
ton of fish in the United States.
After Senator Fletcher had led

Overton made the mouths of the

SCHOOL, PLAN
OF DISNEY
Representative ellis Of
Bill in Address to
Women's Clubs

Establishment of an academy,
resembling West Point, to train
men and women for government
service at home and abroad was
urged today by Representative
Wesley E. Disney CD of Okla
homa.
To be known as the National
Academy of Public Affairs, the
school would be set up under the
terms of a bill he has reintro-
duced in Congress, Representative
Disney told the board of directors
of the General Federation of
Women'S Clubs at their annual
midwinter meeting. He said
"The purpose Of the academy
shall be the education and train
ing Of young Americans in ad-
ministrative and diplomatic ca
reer service, both in national
and international affairs.
THE underlying principle is
that graduates of the institution
will have a type of civil service
preference right, with attendant
retirement rights. The national
academy would be cO-educatiOn-
al. nOnSectarian and nOnparti-
san"
NATIONAL DRIVE BEGUN
Included in the proposed course
Of study would be economic his
tory, sociology, international law,
social and economic planning, the
functions of government, and
political history.
A national drive to promote
study of the American ConStitu-
ton is being launched by the
federations department for junior
club women. Mrs. E. w. Shirk. of
Redlands, Cal. told the board
members. Calling for the defense
of democracy, she said:
I'VE believe that communism,
faSciSm and other political syS-
TENS which tend to curtail free
expression of thought or under
mine our democratic form of
government must be opposed"
DARLING GIVES VIEWS
Organization for conservation
of wild life was urged by Jay N.
Ding" Darling, former chief Of
the United States Biological Sur
vey, who presented the program
Of the recently formed North
American Wild Life Conference.
A large conservation body, de-
signed to include the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, is
needed lin order to provide a
pressure to offset local CONNER
cial groups interested in projects
detrimental to the cause Of con-
Servation," he said.

Fears School Exams.
Found Dead BY Gas

Eighteen-year-old Joseph E. Will
liamS turned his problem over and
over in his mind yesterday.
It was a big problem to him and
one particular consequence of that
problem was one he diSliked more
than anything he could imagine.
His problem was whether he
could pass his examinations and
graduate from Central High School
in the mid-year class.
The consequence he dreaded was
that he might fail to pass and be
left behind by his classmates to
spend another semester in the
school.
He confided his troubles to his
mother, Mrs. Maude M. Ryon, who
works in the Treasury Department.
He refused to be comforted by the

PRAISE MERIT
SYSTEM
House Leaders Conn.,
mend Civil Service
Week Observance

Observance of the current Ma
tional Civil Service Week was
commended by three outstanding
members of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee today.
Josh Lee, Democratic Repre-
sentative from the Fifth district
of Oklahoma, declared that mas
much as the entire civil service
program is an effort to place a
premium on merit in the Govern
ment service it should be ex-
tended wherever its application
is practicable.
This sentiment is identical with
the suggestion the Civil Service
Commission recently included in
its annual report to the President.
Jennings Randolph, Democratic
Representative of West Virginia.
Second district, also said:
THE American people are
served year in and year out by
our faithful Federal employees,
and the civil service act has
brought into the service men
and women who are efficient
and qualified for the work they
are doing. / sincerely hope
this system will always be car
ried on and brOadened to meet
the demands of the times"
Representative Charles A. Hal
leck, Republican from the Sec
ond Indiana District. said:
ut is an old axiom, but one
the truth of which has not
been IesSened through the
years. that good government
and a sound system Of public
personnel administration are
inSeparable. A reasonable APP
plicatiOn Of the merit system
as the basis for Federal jobs
is the only system fair both
to the taxpayers and to the
employees themselves. It means
efficiency and economy in the
transaction Of public business.
The conduct of government
should be immune from spOilS-
men,"
The statements we're given to
national headquarters Of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees. which is con-
Quoting Civil Service Week in
cooperation with affiliated or
CARNATIONS and the Civil Service
Commission.

PARTY GIVERS
By HELEN ESSARY

A friend of ours learned a lot
about Washington from a Chi
cago man he met on a plane.
The Chicago man was just back
from a trip to the Capital, where
he said he learned the lowdown
on a situation that pretty nearly
scared him to death.
Mr.. Roosevelt, the Chicago
man said, if he were reelected
was going to amend the Constitu-
ton Immediately, and turn over
the Presidency to Mrs. Roosevelt.
The Chicago man said that now
was not soon enough to stop tin,
kering with the laws Of the ma
ton.
Our friend remarked that he
lived in Washington, but he hon
estly hadn't heard about such
plans. The Chicago man replied
haughtily. He said it was too bad
that WaShingtonianS never knew
what was happening. With that
he turned away and stared at
the window of the plane into
blank space for the rest of the
trip.
Senator Bennett Clark as every
body knows, is now engaged IN
removing the false whiSkerS from
the munitions racket. But Mrs.
Clark-who incidentally is one
Of the cleverest women in town
had an encounter with false
whiskers long before the Senator
from Missouri began investigating
things.
Also the false whiSkers Of Mrs.
Clark'S career were worn by
amateurs.
Once in Iowa Mrs. Clark was
directing a performance OF THE
Mikado." AS the curtain was
about to go up, the prize como
dian. the Lord High Executioner
of the cast, suddenly fell to the
floor unconscious. After he had
been worked on with reStoratlves
for IS minutes while the audience
waited. the invalid slowly came
to life.
Feebly pulling at his false
whiskers, he moaned:
''They did it. l used TOO
much stickum on them. The
stuff had ether in it. And
all but died."
There is probably a moral to
this story.
Mr. John J. Raskob, at present
very much occupied with the LID

Montana labor news., 1936-02-27

Loss by the typo union Of almost every strike
last IS years is a logical explanation of its chief
tain's becoming an advocate of vertical or in
dustrial unions including employees of various
trades within an industry. So many times has
the typo union suffered defeat and extinction of
local Jurisdictions" with severe financial sac
rifice and suffering by its members that its pres
tige and influence have been very greatly i'm
paired. Employers throughout the printing and
publishing industries have observed that the
typo union is far from invincible. They know
that with vigilance and determination its worst
onslaughts can be successfully resisted.
Acutely conscious of the debility of their or
ganization, typo-union leaders are ready for radi-
cal expedients to try to bolster its strength. If
they could contrive to absorb and assume control
of other printing craft unions, they might re-
cover some measure Of lost power. Some have
expressed the idea that with centralized author
ity to call card carriers of the various crafts out
on strike simultaneously, they could do better in
battle.
'"There is no intention to interfere with craft
organization in those industries where that form
of organization has been effective" says the
typo-union president. But that form of organi-
cation has been so ineffective in the printing in
dustry that the chieftain's assurance can scarcely
conceal the desire of the type union to gobble up
the other printing unions. Whether the latter
will care to cast their property and reserves into
the typo unions balance sheet remains to be seen.
