THE WALSH BILL

CUBSTANTIAL support among industrialists for
~ restoration Of wage and hour standards was dis
closed today in responses to questonnares distrib-
uted by House subcommittee that is studying the
proposal to apply labor principles of the defunct
NRA to government contracts.
Rep Healey 3D. Mass), chairman of the Judiciary
subcommittee scrutinizing the Walsh bill passed by
the Senate last August estimated that about half of
the replies to inquiries sent to 1900 large and small
industries favored predetermined standards of wages
and hours as a means of stabilizing business.
The responses were regarded as surprising in view
of the resentful opposition which has met other sug-
gestions for government regulation of industry, re-
sentiment which typified by the refusal of most
large industrial groups to participate in the confer
ence called recently by Major George Berry, Presi-
dent Rooseves co-ordinator for industrial co-opera
ton.
Meanwhile separate study conducted by NRA
disclosed drift toward longer hours and lower
since the Supreme Court nvalidated the codes Dis
solution of MIRA has left the report uncompleted;
Rep, Healey's subcommittee had hoped to utilize the
findings in connection with the Walsh bill.
NFA studied the effect Of the Blue Eagles demise
in about 5000 firms doing business with the govern
ment. Work was discontinued before the results
were COmpleQ, Dut OIHclalS SAID tney discovered
instances where working hours were increased to as
high as 72 a week after the Schecnter decision.
Rep Healey said efforts would be made to have
the study completed for the committees All
employees of the N2A division in charge of the study
we're dismissed recently except Director Frank
Healey and one assistant.
The committees QUESTIONABLE showed almost
unanimous support for prohibiting child labor and
prison labor in government contracts.
The QUESTIONABLE also asked ndustrialists wheth.
predetermined labor standards would equalize
opportunities among competitors and result in more
general bidding and whether requirements should be
confined to fixed wages and hours or follow the
principle of the Bacon-Davs law which stipulates
the payment of prevailing wages in building con-
struction.
The Walsh bill, according to its author, Senator
Walsh Cd. MassO is intended to lend the paradox
cal and unfair situation in which the government
urges employers to maintain fair wage standards
and the other hand gives vast orders for supplies
and construction to the lowest bidder often con-
tractor or manufacturer who does not sympathze
with and fights hardest against labor and social
welfare policies"
The bill would apply wage and hour provision of
the defunct codes to all government contracts,
which advocates of the believe would serve
to raise labor standards generally.

MARTIAL LAW

Martial law is dangerous weapon. If misused
it can do much more harm than good.
Indiana's troops are commanded on the whole by

VANNUYS ON LYNCHING

CENATOR VANNUYS is seeking Senate nvesti-
~ cation of lynchings that occurred in 1885, and
hopes thereby to give impetus to the Costigan-W ag
ner anti-lynching bill.
AS chairman of subcommittee Senator VanNuys
redrafted the Costigan Wagner bill and obtained its
approval last session by the full Judiciary Commit
tee. Southern Senator's threatening hlibuster pre-
vented vote in the Senate.
In announcing that he would introduce resolu-
ton to investigate "the IA ynchngs which have oc-
Cured since May l. 1885," Mr. VanNuys said:
During the debate on the motion to consider the
Costigan- wagner BILL various Senators made state
ments to the effect that Federal legislation is
necessary the states and will prevent lynch
ing and punish those responsible for this mob
violence
yet, despite these statements there have oc-
Cured in the United States since the close of the
debate on May l. at least IA lynchings
my resolution is designed to have the Senate
authorize the Committee on Judiciary or any sub
committee thereof to investigate fully the facts and
circumstances surrounding the IA lynchings, incud-
ing the relationship of these acts of violence to other
crimes and consequent depreciation in the MAIN
tenance of law and order"
According to Tuskegee Institute there were 20
lynchings in the United States in 1885, compared
with Is in 1884
All occurred in the South except one in Cali

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

TINE blurbs say that Nancy Pope's book. 1--WE
Il Three; the Care and Feeding of Parents" is
witty, gay enhancing. 1t is that
You'll be in stitches for pages, because it's about
the kind of happy-go-lucky people who are so de-
hghtful to meet in books and so bothersome in real
life. They react on us as the genius does-we like
to listen to him; we hate to live with him.
For instance, if the ordinary husband came home
late to dinner as Nancy's father did, to see his wife
toss tablecloth dishes and food out the dining
window would he laugh heartily and grab the little
woman for big hug? PROBABLY not. She'd likely
get the old-fashioned spanking she deserved.
And while loathe stiff parties, informally is
certainly carried too far when guests jugge eggs all
the kitchen. No housewife would really enjoy
that-especially if it were her kitchen.
Most of us have witnessed the lively antics of
some members of family whose behavior tallies
with that of Nancy Popes household. They're
mighty drawback to the orderly life, too.
But, hear you ask, who wants orderly life?
Most every does after the effervescent state of
adolescence. What Miss Pope argues for, of course,
is sense of hunor with which to battle life. The
Lord knows all of us are in favor of that. THE
hight touch she calls 1.-THE touch which turns
despair into fun, the gay manner of taking trouble
round the waist and doing little dance
Individuals who have that light touch and use it
with reasonable restraint are the grandest folk on
earth-and the world would be drab. SNUG place
without them
The SWEETEST part of Nancy Pope's story, how
ever. is the way she portrays the happiness of a
home where the family lives together in love and
harmony Life might indeed be long lark If par
ents and children could achieve the same friendly
companionship the Popes had.

I ATTACKS REFUNDS
TO Professors

BY Andrew Heath
The Supreme Court, to my way
of thinking, has erred in its de-
cision against the AAA. This is one
of the most unjust decisions handed
down by the Supreme Court to date.
AS every one knows, at the time
the AAA became effective the proc
eSsors gave this excuse for hiking
prices to the consumer. They ex-
planned at the time such a rise in
prices was justified, inasmuch as
they (the processors) had been COM
PEELED to pay the Federal govern
ment stipulated amount on meats,
flour and all other foodstuffS af-
fected by AAA codes.
The consumer paid this added tax
willingly because he was under
standing of such a condition. The
Federal government in turn passed
this money on to the farmers in the
way of allotments apportioned &C
cording to the extent of their efforts
toward curtailment of such items as
were affected by AAA codes.
Now the Supreme Court has seen
fit to rule against the AAA, stipu-
lating these impounded process
taxes to the extent of 200 million
dollars must again be paid to the
professors, without recommended
ton to the professors to show
whether or not the professors had
passed this tax down to the con-
sumer.
Such action should be resented
by the consumer and immediate &C
ton taken to prevent such a distri-
button. To my way of thinking, the
professors have already been paid
and for one can see no reason why
they should be paid again.

CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE
FARM ACTION

By L. NJ.
The nation is faced with a crisis.
The responsible agencies for meeting
that crisis are the legislative and
executive branches of the govern
ment. Action must be immediate.
These two agencies base their
action on their intimate knowledge
of all factors involved, on their close
contact with the humans involved
under pressure of every interest af-
fected. What they do comes as close
to approXimating the will of the
people as it is possible to determine
it under this form of government.
For two years and a half the gov
eminent functions.
Then one day the third branch of
the goVernnent-Which until this
moment has been silent-expresses
itself. A lawsuit has reached the
Supreme Court, which makes a de-
cision. It does not decide merely
whether or not law has been
obeyed or violated; it does not de-
eide whether the law has been fairly
or properly administered.
1t decides that it never was a
law in the first place, notWithstand-
ing that it has affected the lives
and fortunes of the nations whole
population.
And that becomes the fact.
You don't know about these mat
ters, says the court to the Con-
gress; you are empowered by the
Constitution to write laws and to
declare the national policy, it is
true, but-regardless of the Consti-
tution-we do not trust your judg-
ment as to what is a good law or
what is good national policy. We
declare your law no law; we de-
clare your policy is not the policy
of the government.
What then to do? The court does
not suggest. The court has no
power to suggest.
The court, in other words, makes
of itself simply wrecking machine.
1t destroys; it does not build. .
AS one looks upon the wreckage,
as one sees the two branches of the
government struggling once again
with the tremendous emergency
which still faces this half employed
country, we come to this conclu-
sion: If this actually is our form of

From the earliest recorded history
of the human race, the highlights
of that history are the records of
mass homicide, sometimes between
nations and more often between
groups of nations, and at the pres
ent time we have two undeclared
wars in progress, either of which
may involve the entire civilized
world.
Now, as in the past, the stage is
being set for another large-scale
conflict and as could be expected,
al nations, including our own
peace-loving nation, are re-arnling

planes Immediately.
That is the first step, but even if
Congress should authorize such a
program, who would fly them? We
have no such reservoir of reserve
aviators as the Russian government
has provided, nor are we equal in
reserve strength to England,
France, Germany or Italy.
My eldest son is a member of the
Air Cadet Corps, maintained by the
Air Defense League of this city
along with scores of other young
men, where they are learning avia-
ton, but neither they, the Army, or
the Navy can train enough fliers
without full public support.
In foreign countries, it is common
practice for the governments to sup
port and encourage young men to
learn to fly. Senator McSwain sug-
gests governmental backed Junior
Air Corps, Of course not compulsory,
and such an organization would in
sure future supply of aviators,
both commercial and military.
With a reserve Air Corps of many
thousands, no nation would take a
chance on offending this nation.
My hats off to Senator McSwain.
We have the richest country on the
face of the earth and the least with
which to defend it-and sooner or
later we will have to defend it.

VOU who regularly throw away
i your green beet and turnip tops
undoubtedly will be surprised to
learn that, weight for weight, they
are twice as rich as eggs in one
valuable vitamin.
This is vitamin b or CT. impor-
tant in treatment of pellagra. In
this serious disease, the skin, par
ticularly those parts exposed to the
sun. becomes red. The tongue is
soft and irritated, and the bowels
loose. In many instances, the body
becomes extremely thin, and even
the mind may be affected.
Whether deficiency of vitamin b
or G is the only or even the out
standing factor. it certainly is regu-
larly associated with pellagra.
Besides green tops, diet rich in
milk, meat. yeast, and egg yolk will
prevent the appearance of pellagra;
in early cases, it has been well
established, a cure may be effected.
"ITAMIN G is found IN the same
' foods as vitamin 81, with one
exception. That is the white Of egg,
which contains vitamin b, but not
vitamin b.
incidentally, vitamin BE- is not
destroyed by heat and may be found
in canned foods as well as in fresh
ones. If you are healthy, and are
eating the essentials of an adequate
diet, don't worry about any def
cheney of vitamin b.
A shortage Of this vitamin will,
however, check the growth of chill
dren, and gradually inju-e the
health of a human being at any
age. When it is absent, even for
any considerable length of time,
there are digestive disturbances,
general weakness, and an unhealthy
condition Of the skin.
When it is present, the nutrition
improves, and the person is likely
to have better than average health
and vitality.
This doesn't mean, however, that
you should. take this vitamin in ex-
cess, because there is no evidence
that an over-supply OF the substance
will bring about extraordinary i'm
provement.

A BOOTBLACK in the Lincoln

hand SO that when the top of the
brush strikes it the noise happens.
But he doesn't &c it for every one.
Time was, he said, when boot
black wasn't worth his salt unless
he had a bag of sound tricks. It
gave snap to the job. But during

But his theory is that medicine
