HOW Radicals Are Born

A ND am not fantastic in saying that this fight
in which the foe has a field goal is actually
the struggle between life and death. If crops are
to be planted which will hold the soil the farmer
must have cheap phosphates to fertilize them. The
all but idle plant at Muscle Shoals could easily
produce them, but there is legitimate fear that
any such enterprise would earn the Introduction of
the high court.
Accordingly, if any attempt is made it will be
to sneak up on the nine old men by telling them
that the Muscle Shoals plant must be kept active for
the purpose of national defense 1t seems quite
possible that the Supreme Court would sanction
the manufacture of phosphates and nitrates if the
suggestion were made that these needed for
the making of explosives and poison gas.
But the defense of the very fegiving soil itself
would probably be held illegal Thumbs up for
death, thumbs down for life" seems to be the motto
of the high bench
1t has been said that the IVA crowd is COM
posed of rampant radicals. Nothing could be further
from the fact. The young men and the old men on
the job are economic infants and political tyros.
Some of them voted for Hoover They are techni-
clans who began with the naive notion that the
right way to do job was the best way. 1 think
some of them may become radical. Scratch a tech

| C MEMS MONEY

One of the most popular sub
jects of discussion is that of the So
called redistribution of wealth.
Few stop to think that the process
is going On all the time, and has
been from the beginning of time
There is an old saying that it is
"only three generations from shirt
sleeves to shirt-sleeves." In other
words, no matter how much a man
may accumulate in his own life
time, his great-grandsons will have
to go to work to build up their
own fortunes.
Sometimes the process is speeded
up. The very rich find it more
and more difficult to keep their
fortunes intact. It IS a sound AK
ION that it is always harder to KEEP
money than it is to get it. AND
the more intelligent the temporary
possessor of great wealth is, the less
concerned he is about keeping it,
The late Andrew Carnegie said
that it was a disgrace for a maj
to die rich; and a recent court pro-
cedure disclosed that the trust
fund which he set up to provide
for his wife and daughter amount
ed to less than one-tenrh of his
fortune; the rest he gave away dur.
ing his life or left in his will fol-
public and philanthropic purposes
When J. P. Morgan sailed fol-
Europe a few days ago he remarked
to newspaper men that in another
thirty years there would not b
any more great fortunes left il
America. John D Rockefeller
Jr., returning from France, wher'
he had been receiving the thank
of the French government for gift
of many millions to restore SOM
historic edifices, told ship news re
rorters that he thought Mr.. Nor
gan was giving present-day for
tunes a pretty long time to live.
But the history of humanity j
that new men of ability and fore
are always rising from the mass
building new fortunes for themsel
yes, which they and their familiie
enjoy for a generation or TWO, tt
be in their turn dissipated. So i
has been from the beginning ans
so it will always be.

judgment of economic experts here
that farmers and all other Amer
lean producers are now in the for
tunate position of having what is
called a sellers market" Not
only agricultural SURPRISES but
commodity SURPRISES of all kinds
have been greatly reduced, while
the demand for consumer goods is
increasing. This is particularly
noticeable in clothing and furni=
bure industries, and something like
the beginning of a genuine build
ing boom seems to be under way.
There is no surplus labor in the in
dustrial market, the slack having
been taken up by the Govern

The outcome of the internal
warfare in the ranks of organized
labor, between the A. F. of l., and
John Lewis c. I. o., which means
COMMITTEE on Industrial Organi-
zation," becomes more acute, with
each side trying to get some sort
of a commitment of backing from
the Administration. Miss Perkins,
the Secretary of Labor, is keeping
On neutral ground on this situation.
Organized labor is not satisfied
with the fulled explanation which
Gov. Landon gave, in his letter to
Norman Thomas, the Socialist
leader, clarifying his position in
regard to labor. The attitude of
union labor leaders is that a com
pany union" that is, one confined
to the employees of a single COM
Pany, is something not to be toler-
ated, no matter how free the en-
ployees may be left by their en-
! ployers to organize as they see fit.
Gov. Landon has not denounced
company unions, though fully con-
ceeding the right of union organiz-
ers to use any form of persuasion
short of coercion to induce workers
to Join their unions.
For the first time since Presi-
dent Wilson went to France to
negotiate the peace treaty a Presi-
dent of the United States while in
office set foot ON foreign soil,
when President Roosevelt paid a
visit to the ceremony of Lord
Tweedsmuir, Governor General of
Canada. American newspaper men
who accompanied the President
were glad to have furnished to
them an English translation of the
part of his speech which he deliv-
cred in French for the benefit of
the people of Quebec, whose Off
cial language, is still that of

AIR 80. Germany
Col. Lindbergh, who has jus,

at what he found there. Germany
is far ahead of the rest of the
world in lighter-rhan-ai craft and
is recovering the leadership that

prophecy written nearly $50 year,

tives three cents.
A study by the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers indicates
that the total of goods made and
sold last year was about so billion
dollars, out of which labor and
Management were paid about 20
billions, or Sc percent of the in
take, while about 9 1-2 billions, or
10 percent of the selling price of
all goods, was taken by Federal,
state and local governments for
taxes. Less than a quarter of the
income from sales was left to pay
for raw materials, plant mainten-
ance and depreciation and the 9TH
er costs which every business must
carry, t. Nsay nothing of reserves
against a rainy day and dividends
to stockholders.
All of this is interesting in view
of the criticism hat the salaries paid
to the management Of the big cor
porations are too high. If by pay
ing a good manager three cents a
business is enabled to pay a work
er 81 cents, that would seem to be
to the workers advantage, especial
ly when they get nearly s. cents
and the big bosses less than two
cents out of every dollars worth
of goods sold. ~

G-Men Fun AT
Monument

Cleverly designed programs,
rolled like scrolls, tied with ribbon
and sealed with sealing wax, will
add note of genuineness to the
FBI Theater Group production Of
pierre Patelin" when it is offered
Tuesday evening at the Sylvan
Theater at $50.
Written in 1854 BY an unknown
author and immensely popular at
the time, Pierre" suffered obSo-
leScence and almost complete dis
appearance in the following cen
turtles. Farces had proved most
helpful to the peasants Of the
Fifteenth century, but the new
class of learned people who arose
found more delight in copying the
Italian poetry and in imitation
of charm of the classic ages and
farceS centering around such vii
lainS as Pierre became obscure.
In fact, there is only one known
copy Of the first publishing of this
book now extant, and that copy is
in the Bibliotheque Rationale in
Paris. Fortunately, that copy is
we'll preserved and the speeches
are all genuine. Moreover, the vol
ume is illustrated with six beauti-
full woodcutS which have been
copied and photographically placed
on the program that will be handed
out next Tuesday evening. These
are most interesting, both
in view of the fact that they rep
resent scenes from the show, and
since they are the first woodcutS
ever made to illustrate printed
play.
OF help, too, in the designing of
costumes, since they show exactly
the dress worn by the peasants of
that period. Costumes for the
production, which have been
worked out in conjunction with
the Community Center Depart
ment represent quite a task, since
there are over 40 people used in
the show.
Unless bad weather interveneS,
pierre Patelin,' one of the gayest
and most colorful farces ever writ
ten, will receive what is probably
it's first Washington presentation.

Echo Has
Record Crowd

Glen Echo rang the bell" in a
big way on the Fourth of July and
again snapped a long-Standing at
tendance record.
Patronage on the Fourth was
the heaviest in park history for
this holiday. Every section Of the
park activity partook evenly Of the
favorS Of the clientele.
The Crystal pool began activities
in big way early in the morning
and was thronged with those
smart holiday-makerS who had de-
cided to start the Fourth right by
getting thoroughly cooled off and
adding a touch more of brown to
their Sun-tan. A little later in the
morning the family picnic parties
showed up in force and got them
selves settled for Jolly parties.
All Of the colorful Glen Echo
rides were busy all afternoon and
evening. The motor-boat rides led
the procession of heavy business,
while the coaster dips, whip"
"dodgem," air rides, merry-go-
round, Midway of Fun" and "Old
Mill' were practically tied for sec
ond honorS.
That sudden afternoon shower
shooed the fun-seekers under cover
for a little while, but didn't oampen
their spirits, and the evening wit
messed a big renewal of good times
in the Spanish ball room and gen.
eral attractions, while the bril-
liantly lighted night bathing in

Comedy Team
For Met

Charles Ruggles and Mary Bo-
land come to the Metropolitan
Theater Friday. July 10, in early
To Bed, a Paramount comedy
packed with hilarious situations.
For the tenth time in pictures,
Charlie and Miss Boland appear as
man and wife. This time, how
ever, the wedding has been post
poned for 20 years because Of
Charles secret Sorrow-he walks
in his sleep, becoming something
of a tiger man. on his nightly
prowls.
This does not fit in with his
ordinary existence as chief book
keeper for a firm of glass eye
manufacturers. However, it brings
the film to hilarious heights when
Charlie follows a prospective pur-
chaser of glass eyes to Lake Ook-
awookaboogee Lodge. A robbery,
a murder and other depredations
occur after dark and there doesn't
seem to be much question but that
the wandering Charlie committed
them.
He is given one last chance to
walk in his sleep and fortunately
stumbleS over the real marauder
while in the midst of his wander
ings. Probably one of the funniest
shots of the season is the sequence
which shows what Charlie really
does while sleepwalking.
Newsreel and short subjects will
round out the Metropolitan's pro-
gram.
