 The suit eventually will go to the supreme court, but until then the SEC is not supposed to di- vulge the salary secrets of the five firms.

 Yours for Peace
 Frederick Libby of the National Council for the Prevention of War, who has offices just opposite the War Department, was selling Peace Bonds" to finance drive for reduction of armament. He hit upon the idea of selling them in Hollywood.
 One of his buyers was Anita Louise, young screen actress.
 After the bond was purchased, Miss Louise consented to be inter- viewed and pose for the photogra- phers.
 Miss Louise," asked one newsman, "what is your opinion of peace and war;"
 "Oh," replied the movie star, applying a touch of rouge, T think peace is nicer."
 Yes and No
 The American Federation of Labor, which maintains regular Legislative agent" on Capitol Hill (usually called "lobbyist"), is wor- dering just who he really repre- Sents.
 The gentleman in question, Will liam c. Flushing, recently ap- peared before the Senate In1mi- grafton Committee in favor of the Kerr-C Coolidge Bill. This would give immigration officials discre- tion not to break up families by deporting worthy aliens.
 The A. F. of L. is for the bill, and Flushing gave 8 perfunctory endorsement. Suddenly fiery tongued Senator Reynolds, of North Carolina, burst into the picture. He wanted to know if the Kerr-C Coolidge bill really received Hushing's endorsement.
 Section 4 Out
 Flushing stammered, fumbled for words, finally said:
 "T am terribly handicapped, Senator. But I have to go along with the views of my superior officers, of course"
 "Well, what about Section A" demanded Reynolds. "Are you for that or against it?"
 q am not supposed to express personal opinions. But I am go- ing tO do so anyway. The sec- tion is very bad in my opinion. I would never agree to it." Immigration Inspectors
 Starting from there, Flushing ripped into the entire bill and assailed both Secretary Perkins and Immigration Commissioner Daniel w. MacCormack.
 Flushing was particularly re- criminatory regarding the action of Miss Perkins in disbanding the notorious squad of so-called "Im- migration Inspectors" who during the Hoover administration even raided churches in their drive against alleged aliens.
 He did not point out, however, that when Miss Perkins fired these Immigration Inspectors" she also fired MT. Hushing's brother. Smile When You Say That
 Senator Joe Robinson, Arkansas, democratic floor leader: "The sen- ator from Iowa is an able lawyer, and he will be able to state the theory of law upon which that section rests ."
 Senator Louis Murphy, demo- crat, Iowa: Notwithstanding the complimentary reference to the majority leader, I am not law yer"
 Senator Robinson: "Oh, I am sorry and I apopogize very earnestly"
 Senator Lynn J. Frazier, repub- lican, North Dakota: q cannot quite follow the argument of the senator from Vermont. Of course, I am not lawyer .."
 Senator Warren R. Austin, re- publican, Vermont: T expect that perhaps the senator from North Dakota could answer very much
