Labor Group Offers
Many Amendments
To Virginia Bill
BY A Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 16.-De-
spite the fact that little hope is
held for adoption of any amend
ment to the States proposed un-
employment insurance act, the
Virginia Federation of Labor today
was prepared to offer amendments
to the bill which embody the
recommendations approved at re-
cent meeting here of the executive
board.
These proposed changes will be
offered to both house and senate
when the bill comes to the floor.
Admitting that they did not ex-
pect adoption of the changes, labor
leaders explained that they de-
sired a vote upon the proposals at
this time to uncover the Senti-
ment of the legislators.
Proposed Changes
One of the proposed amend
ments would place every employer
in Virginia who hires more than
one person under provisions of the
employment act. Another would
offer the organization scheme pro-
posed by the governor.
The most lengthy of the amend
ments sought by the labor group
would virtually revamp the entire
administrative Set-up now being
considered.
Among prominent labor leaders
of Virginia attending the hearings
on the unemployment bill here
are John Saxton, of Norton, presi-
dent of District %, United Mine
Workers of America, and w. F.
Minton, also of Norton, secretary
and treasurer of the organization.
Although the public hearing by
the joint committee closed late
yesterday, much work remains to
be done on the bill before the
first reading on the floor.
Stick to Agreement
The house committee convened
at II o'clock today, while the
senate committee met at 1920
a. m. One change both commit
tees seem to be agreed on is to
make clearer distinction between
the status of contractor and that
of Subcontractor.
Despite the fact that the Vir.
ginia Federation Of Labor, led by
w. D. Anderson, its legislative
chairman, and other groups ap-
peared at the hearing yesterday
and urged the legislators to con.
slider other phases of social Secur-
ity, such as old-age pensions, child
labor restrictions and an eight
hour working day for women in
industry, the lawmakers appeared
determined to stick by their
agreement to consider only the
unemployment act.
After adjournment of the House
at noon yesterday, the finance
committee held a brief session and
reported out the bill sought by
the governor which amends the
act of 1888 empowering educa-
tional institutions to issue mort
gage bonds on improvements
financed in part by Federal grant.
The amendment enables the insti-
tutions to sell bonds to private
investors as well as to Federal
agencies.
Bills Presented
Fifteen additional bills pre-
sented yesterday afternoon were

TRUE T0XMAS
TRADITION
Of YuIetide
Joy Follows Age-OId
Example of Magi

BY the GOODFELLOW EDITOR
Two thousand years ago three
wise men from the East came to
the little town of Bethlehem, seek
ing the Christ. And when they
had followed the star to where he
lay, st. Matthew says:
"And when they were come
into the house, they saw the
young child, with Mary his
mother, and fell down and wOr-
shipped him: and when they
had opened their treasures they
presented unto him gifts, gold,
frankincense and myrrh.'
Through the centuries that
have passed since that night
people over all the world have
practiced the giving of Christmas
gifts, as did the wise men of old.
Those first Christmas gifts we're
the beginning of a custom which
has grown into an unbreakable
tradition.
And now the citizens of Wash
ington are given an opportunity
to give a priceless gift-the gift of
happiness on Christmas morn to
children who otherwise would
spend a Yuletide full of tears be-
cause they were forgotten on that
happy day.
Through the Goodfellows Club,
you may help bring to unfortunate
children that Christmas joy which
is the right of every child at the
Yule season. 1t is eaSy-merely
communicate with the Goodfellow
Editor, signifying your willingness
to take care of a family for Christ
mas Day, to provide few toys for
youngsters who otherwise would
have none, to give few pieces Of
warm clothing for little bodies
that otherwise would be unpro-
tected from the cold.
If you alone cannot take care
of a family, why not team up"
with some of your neighbors or
office associates, and form a little
Goodfellow Club of your own.
Then the cost to each would be
almost negligible.
The families taken care of by
the Goodfellows are just everyday
folk like the rest of us, but they
are "down on their luck" And
the unselfish spirit exhibited by
some of them should prove a spur
to GoodfellowS to help them, as
witness this, written by a 14-year-
old boy in nearby Maryland:
"WilI you help me sell my cleo
trio train set and drum set so
can get a bicycle and a Christ
mas present for my mother?
My mother and / are alone and
we have no relatives to help Us
and we are very poor. My mother
is not able to work. Will you ask
Santa Claus to bring us some
warm things for Christmas and
Christmas dinner?"
He goes on to say that he wants
the bicycle in order that he may
get a paper route to help sup
port his mother and himself. Sure
ly some Goodfellow would not
miss a few things to help this
youngster and his mother have a
happy Christmas!
Then here is another case of
dire poverty:
"I am asking you please to
provide a few toys for my four

OF course, to a white man,
Chinese politics are a lot like
chow mein You never can
tell what lies beneath the sur
face.
What I'm wondering is if the
mutineerS will strip the General
of his medals, or resort to the
usual Chinese custom of merely
tearing the buttons off his
shirt.
But you know, it looks pretty
hopeless for the rest of the
world when the oldest civiliza-
tiOn hasn't yet found a way to
secure permanent peace.

penetration. A corollary feature is RUS
sian willingness to bulwark Rumania
against Hungarian attempts to despol
her Of Transylvania.
With Austria brought firmly within the
Na1 orbit, acquisition Of Czechoslovakia,
or at least that portion Of it adjacent to
the Reich border which is reponderantly
inhabited by Germans, has long rated
as Hitler's next objective in Central
Europe. Hitherto it was supposed that
Russian help to the Czechoslovakians
would be limited to aircraft. Current
developments indicate that the great Red
army now plans to be in position to ap-
pear in formidable strength on the west
ern slope of the Carpathians and con-
front German-Austrian forces threaten
ing Czechoslovakia from two sides.
So Germany's traditional drive to the
east" Is to be met by a Russian drive
to the west. Hitler and Mussolini are
plainly not to be permitted automatically
to order the destinies of Central Europe,
including revision of It's frontiers, with
out opposition from Franco-Russian-
Rumanian- -Czechoslovakian combination
capable of offering the dictators resist
ance worthy of their steel.

physio-chemical complication, its un-
doing.
n>allergy also, it appears. there is a
combination of protein, or some con-
stituent of a protein, to produce poison.
The Agriculture Department chemists,
under the direction of DR.. Henry Stevens.
will try to find the basic "allergens," or
substances. which enter into the physio-
chemical reactions, to produce the allergic
effects. The problem is especially diff
cult, because, so far as is known only
human beings suffer from allergies, SO
that it will be impossible to use expert
mental animals.
Associated with DR.. Stevens in the re-
search is DR.. Harry S. Bernton, professor
of hygiene at Georgetown University
Medical School. Funds for this investiga-
ton are provided by the Bankhead-Jones
act, which enables to Department of
Agriculture and State experiment sta
tionS to proceed with long deferred re-
searches of fundamental significance to
agricultural science.
They are not concerned, the Depart
ment of Agriculture chemists emphasize,
with finding 'cure" for allergies. But
they hope to provide some basic chem
ical data for use in medical research.

Sniping the G.Men.

Not only explanation but searching in
vestigation into the activities OF the
Secret Service agents of the Treasury
Department with regard to the work OF
the Department of Justice Bureau of
Criminal Investigation should result
from the protest of Attorney General
Cummings which followed the disclosure
of an effort to discredit the Department
of Justice operatives who have made such
encouraging headway against organized
crime in this country in recent months.
The activities of the Treasury service
should be traced to the source of author
ity without regard for the repute or posi-
ton of the official directing this espion-
age.
The purpose of the inquiry into the
circumstances of the killing of two Of
the public enemies" who were cornered
and slain, with entire provocation, by
the Department of Justice operatives is
evident. It is to besnlirch them and their
chief and the department which controls
their activities. In both instances the
"G-men" took life only when their prison.
ers resisted with deadly menace. There
has never been any concealment of the
facts. Both of these men were des-
peradoes, known to be killers. In both
cases the operatives acted in accordance
with instructions.
Back of all this activity on the part
of the Secret Service of the Treasury
Department is believed to be a desire
to bring the Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION into the range of political patron
age. Mere jealousy between the investi-
eating branches of two different depart
ments cannot possibly account for this
extraordinary effort to discredit the
F. B. I. and its chief. 1t is known that
the retention of that chief was resisted
by one high up in the political organiza-
ton of the administration.
With the Attorney General denounc-
ing the unwarranted activities of the
Secret Service and with the Secretary Of
the Treasury Mortified" at the revelation
of the use of branch of his department
for spying upon the G-men, and with the
administrative assistant Of the Secretary
expressing the same feeling of indigna-
ton at this unwarranted activity, there
is reason to look for definite revelation
of the source of authority for the maneu-
vers. The administration simply cannot
afford, as a mere matter Of politics, If
for nothing else, to let this exhibition OF
interdepartmental partisanship go un-
punished.

Proposed Width of New
Chain Bridge Inadequate
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
The proposed width of "a feet for the
New Chain Bridge, with fve-foot side
walks, or "a feet over all, would provide
two lanes of traffic only, no opportunity
for vehicles to pass on the bridge. Con-
geStion is bound to result, and the time
to protest is now. The Commissioners
of the District have until recently held
out the hope that the new bridge would
have Q 36-foot roadway surface, with
6-foot sidewalks, or 48 feet over all. The
Senate was willing to increase the limit
of cost to $460,00O to cover new bridge
and adequate approaches. The Com
missionerS opposed the increase, and the
increase of 100000 was dropped in con-
ference because of that opposition.
The writer has voiced his individual
protest against the narrow width. A
similar protest has been addressed to
Col. Sultan by the Conduit Road Citi-
zens' Association, also by Mr.. j. w.
Somerville, private secretary of Senator
Carter Glass. Others will probably
voice their protests. The Commissioners
have already begun the study and
preparation of the plans for the new
bridge. LLEwELLYN JORDAN.
