SANTA CLAUS SENDS GIFTS
 TO CHILDREN
Related Distribution of AL aska Steamship Com
 pany Takes Place

Of course, there's a Santa Claus and if you think that's a pecul- jar remark for this time of the year, man, you're mistaken. Be- cause Santa Claus = in spirit, at least-visited this city yesterday aboard the steamer Alaska.
 Aboard the Alaska Line steamer were gifts of candy for the boys and girls of Alaska-candy which usually would have been distribut- ed by Santa when he came in De- cember on the special Christmas cruise. But, this year, the strike kept Santa Claus and his gifts down in Seattle. and disappointed many a youngster.
 To lessen that disappointment somewhat, the Alaska Steamship Company has arranged for the can- dy to be distributed throughout AL aska to boys and girls, twelve years of age or younger.
 In accordance with the plans, the candy and other gifts were ta- ken to the Juneau schools this af- ternoon by the representatives of the Alaska Steamship Company in this city and distributed
 Four years ago, the Alaska Line inaugurated it's Christmas cruise, when met with such enthusiastic response that it was decided to make it yearly custom. with Christmas decorations, a gift-laden tree, and a real Santa Claus, the Christmas shop has become a big event in the holiday season for AL aska children. This year, due to the unavoidable delay, the Alaska Line agents in the various ports are "pinch-hitting" for Santa.

VALUE
REGULATED IN
SENATE BILL
International News Service

A broad program for regulation
and sterilization of the value OF
the dollar was presented to Con-
greSs today in a bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma.
Thomas said his program also
will stabilize the price level of
commodities and services and
eliminate threats of initiation and
deflation. He said:
"This program is absolutely
necessary and, when adopted,
will give the country breath
ing spell in so far as monetary
legislation is concerned"
The bill proposes that the board
Of governors of the Federal Re
serve System shall be converted
into an agency of the Government,
designated as monetary authority
for the expressed purpose Of super
vising the operations of the pro
gram, or law.
It also suggests a formula for
determining SuCn pOlnL OF value,
suggests the means by which
the dollar shall be adjusted. regu'
lated and stabilized, Thomas
added.
Thomas asserted there is ample
authority under the Constitution
for his program. He said:
"The Constitution provides
that Congress shall regulate
the value of our money. The
laws enacted to date form the
first step in the program for
the regulation and stabiliza-
ton of the value of the dollar.
The next step is to determine
the proper point Of value at
which the dollar should be
stabilized"

Brenckman told the Senate Ju-

he said, they would side-track the
Presidential plan and seek new
powers for Congress and the Exc

Warns of History's Verdict
He warned:

at the bar of history with hav-
ing SupineIy acquieSced in a step

Declaring the Supreme Court

its powers, Brenckman said:
"The truth appears to be that

Supreme Court because 1t has
exercised the power with which
it Is undeniabIy vested, are i'm.

SELF"
Then directly attacking thu
Presidents plan, he said:
"Aside from the objections to
packing the Supreme Court in
order to influence its decisions,
against which millions Of patri-
Otic citizens are rising in revolt,
1t is clear that the real issue is
one which involves a redistribu-
ton Of power as between the
Federal Government and the
States. Thus far, this phase Of
the question has scarcely been
mentioned.
"If the people want to change
the Constitution, so as to give
the Federal Government greater
control over agriculture. indus
try and commerce, that is their
undisputed privilege. However,
before such a step is taken, it
would be well to bear in mind
that there is only one way in
which the powers Of the Federal
Government can be expanded
and that is by contracting or
restricting in a corresponding
degree the rights Of the States
and of individuals.
But in all fairness, the Su.
preme Court has no right to
change the Constitution through
strained or unwarranted inter
pretatiOn. That is what some
people are demanding of it."
If done to achieve new economic
goals, Brenckman warned. III

Departments Studying
 Community Facilities
Statewide Survey Underway on Health Service in Connecticut Cities, Towns; Improvements Desired

bulletin, is in complete harmony with the well known fact that the general sanitary and health stand= ard of C community IS shown by its infant death rate. It is said that infant mortality Is the most selasi- tive index of health conditions. In fact, the bulletin stated, efforts to improve infant and maternal health may form the basis for development of full-time health service under a well trained personnel. Any plan resulting in well-rounded health program will improve the health of mothers and children. ...
 With such Improvements as the objective, a representative of the State Department of Health has called upon the health otfcer Of each town to learn the facts and procedure of existing health factl- tiles and to obtian suggestions for improving them. Local physicians, public health nursing agencies, school superintendents and commit nity organizations interested in health are asked to contribute in- formation along these lines and to meet in group discussion for this purpose. The department repre- sentative tabulates the information in survey form, including existing methods in control of acute com- municable diseases, supervision of sanitation, milk and food service and the like.
 Group Discussions
 The group discussions have shown that with coordination of effort ex- iSting health facilities may be de- veloped into a more adequate ser- vice for community health, the bul- letin reported. In some commit mites, there is need of additional generalized public health nurses. Some towns are entirely without this service. In some areas, 1t may be advisable to have more frequent well child conferences, and more opportunities for mothers to secure information about prenatal care. It is now easy to obtain tull-time health service in all towns. the bul- letin pointed out, for an act of the 1885 legislature provides that towns may combine resources to form sanitary districts in which that ser- vice can be provided jointly, and under this arrangement funds will be available through the depart ment to bear a great part of the ex= pense.

 And will the market 90 up? And will 1t come down again?
 It might be profitable to discuss whether or not the SEC caused the break if the actual cause were not so much in evidence. It may soothe the feelings of many who hate the idea of government interference in business to say that. But practical men must be realistic. As a matter of fact the SEC has used almost none of its great powers against the market. It maintains @ bureau to watch for manipulation and that bureau frequentll scotches rnanipu- lative practices. Also 1t forces in- siders to disclose their stock pur- chases and sales. And the act itself has resulted, through the Reervc Boards action, in 56 per cent mar gins.
