Senator Bailey Of North Carolina.
an opponent Of the court bill, yester-
day addressed letter to the members
OF the North Carolina State Legisla-
ture, setting forth his reasons for this
opposition. The Legislature recently
passed a resolution urging all North
Carolinians in Congress to support
the Presidents bill. He said in his
letter:
IT the powers reserved to the State
OF North Carolina ought to be i'm
paired, If the rights of the people OF
North Carolina as individuals are to
be abridged, If the powers of the
President or Congress ought to be
increased, there is way provided, and
that way Is the submission OF amend
ment to the Constitution for ratifica-
tion by State conventions or State
Legislatures"
No worse way, he said, could be
conceived than that proposed by the
President In his court bill. He insisted
that it was violation Of the Democratic
platform. that it would undermine the
independence Of the courts, and that
lit would invade the holy precincts
Of justice and bring her helpless down
to the pit OF politics"

population shifts took place during the
back-to-theland movement early in
the depression and during the more
recent migrations from the dust bowl.
The influence of chronological ad-
vances on production and unemploy-
ment, the shifts from one trade to
another occasioned by the expansion
OF some industries and the contrac-
ton of others and the retirement from
the high speed industries of men
past 40 years Of age are other eco
nomic and social trends about which
the Government would like more in
formation.
An independent enumeration Of the
unemployed, such as Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan, and
others have advocated recently. is re-
garded as relatively valueless by the
Governments statistical agencies. OF
such census, Secretary Perkins said
at her press conference Friday, sit
would not help greatly to know how
many are unemployed at any specific
date; we know just what We want in
the way of information about the un-
employed and eventually we will have
a census, maybe in connection with the
1910 census"
Plans for Jobless Count.
From other reliable sources, 1t was
learned, that the Labor and Commerce
Departments have definite plans for
an unemployment enumeration in con-
nection with the regular census In
the last few months they have drawn
up detailed prospectus of the infor-
nation desired and are waiting word
from the White House as to when to
go ahead
What the Government statisticians
want is a complete population enumer-
alton of the employed by industries
and trades and an enumeration of the
unemployed showing in which indus
tries they were employed last and the
date Of last employment. With such
basic figures at hand, the Labor De-
partment feels confident it can keep
the unemployment indices constantly
corrected with the help Of the employ
ment reports it receives monthly, the
registrations Of the Social Security
Board and the registrations with the
United States Employment Service in
connection with administration Of the
unemployment insurance act which
will be in force throughout the Nation
In another two years.
No employment enumeration, so the
Government statisticians argue. would
be enlightening without reference to
total population, which will not be
known until the general population
census is taken. What the Govern
ment particularly wants to know, it
was explained, is what proportion of
the population is out OF work.

enumeration, the Government statis-
ticians objected:

1t is the aim Of those planning the

to their actual status. what their last
trade or occupation was, whether they
had been steady or seasonal workers
whether they were new seekers after
jobs who had recently reached en-
ployment dated from their reaching
the age of 40, at which many men and
women in the high-speed industries
are being retired.
. Given such basic figures of unem-
ployment by industrial classifications
it would not be difficult matter, the
Government statisticians believe, to
keep the figures up to date, since the
principal industries, exclusive of agri-
cultural workers, report monthly on
gains and declines in employment.

BACKGROUND
During first campaign for presi-
dency, Roosevelt declared Gouern-
ment departmental set-up needed
revising and simplifying. During
first term. ho1OeUer, his admins
tration greatly increased ertent of
Government machinery.
At urging OF Senator Byrd of Vir-
ginia, Senate during last year un-
dertook study OF problem of reor-
ganising departments and bureaus.
Later President suggested such a
study and joint congressional CON-
nittee 1Das named. Before this
committee noU rests his specific
recommendations for reDisions in
administrative and e1ecutipe
branches.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt is not con-
cerned over the apathy on Capitol
Hill toward his plan for recognizing
the executive branch of the Govern
ment. 1t is known he has no inten-
ton of pushing this proposal for the
present, being content to allow it to
hang fire at least until disposition of
courts
Reports from his congressional
lieutenantS in regard to the Presi-
dents reorganization plan have not
been encouraging, it is understood
but he is not expected to attempt to
exert pressure to get action at this
time. His proposal now is in the
hands of a congressional joint COM
mittee.
Meanwhile Mr.. Roosevelt is con-
centrating his strength behind the
judiciary expansion plan, although he
appears unworried over the prospects
for passage of this bill. He has said
repeatedly in discussions with friends
he is confident he has sufficient votes
in the Senate and that his court pro-
gram will be successful.
To Leave on Vacation.
Satisfied that he has the winning
hand and that nothing will be lost
by permitting the opposition to run
its full course, the President will
leave Tuesday night for vacation OF
at least two weeks. during which
time ne will fish for tarpon in the
Gulf of Mexico.
While the President is showing nc
concern over the fate of his re-
organization plan, it is known he is
by no means as sanguine about the
outcome of this part of his New Dea,
legislative program as he is about the
court plan.
He IS not unmindful Of the really
serious opposition to his reorganiza-
tlon plan. He is informed the
opposition is by no means confined tc
Republican legislators. Many in his
own party have given evidence they
propose to fight the plan, or at leas,
certain phases of it, when the time
comes.
Principal Objections.
The President has been told bv his
lieutenants the principal objections
to his reorganization proposal concern
those sections which transfer the
Comptroller Generals Office to the
Treasury Department, and place most
OF the major Independent agencies
such as the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Civil Service
Commission, under the supervision OF
one of the regular departments. He
has heard, also. that his proposal tc
create two new departments, the heads
OF which would be in the cabinet. is
not popular, principally because this
tends to increase governmental ex.
penses.
Recent tendencies on Capitol Hill
| indicate there are number of legis-
lators in genuine mood for economy
and that they proposed to vote accord.
lngly. II this economy sentiment i!
more than temporary, it is likely i
may have some effect on the fate O.
the reorganization plan.
1t is pointed out, however, there
probably will be some touched by ths
economy wave who will go along with
the Presidents plan, believing it vii
effect expense cuts in Government
There undoubtedly will be others wht
will oppose the plan because there i
no indication it will result in econ
omies. The President, himself, ha
stated that economy was not his ain
in working out the program, his OBJ
jective being greater efficiency ant
/ better business methods.

saved the Government millions Of
dollars. He worked two and a half
years going over 10000 documents for
the Lindbergh case, l8 months on a
forged tax return case, which alone
would have cost the Government $780,
900. He testified in the recent
Raskob-Du Pont stock deal case. A
date was the issue. Further back the
revenue act of 1928 provides that
stocks once sold cannot be bought
back for 80 days, If income tax losses
are deducted. Souder produced his
thousandth-of-a an-inch ruler, testified
that "the date measured with the
body Of the letter, but not with the
price insertions"
OF great importance to the Ameri-
can mouth is Souders laboratory work
on the Standardization of materials
used in dentistry. Clements and dental
amalgum have passed permanency
tests. The method of producing inlays
is standardized. When your dentist
fills a cavity. fits an inlay, or bit Of
bridgework. you have an assurance Of
permanency.
I'VE approach the millionth OF an
inch in measurement" Souder says.
1t may well be, as Shakespeare said,
Much Ado About Nothing" 1t is
that nothing and what to do with
it that gives US scientists our Jobs.
In dentistry, as in other things, it is
that one fraction Of an inch that
tells the story of Standardization
With background Of religious faith,
which is the foundation of his present
philosophy, Souder was farm-born at
Salem, Ind, in 1884. He worked
hard, received his education. With
A. B. and A. M. degrees at the Uni
versity Of Indiana. he taught for
bit, came to the Bureau Of Standards
in 1911 for two years, obtained

Wage-Hour Haste Hit
Measure Should Be Subjected to Cool, Calm Debate
Before Passage, Observer Believes

intricate have they been that no man
could read them all with the intent
ness necessary to understand them
fully. And II a writer who, devoting
all his time to 1t and having no other
occupation, cannot read all OF the
Hood OF measures, members Of Con-
gress and others who have many other
duties are not likely to. This has been
one OF the advantages on the side OF
what Gen. Johnson calls the "Machi-
avellis." There were several OF them
they knew what they were doing, they
understood the technique OF doing 1t,
and the separate measures fitted into a
design, pattern.
Some Objectives Worthy.
1t should be added that some Of
the expressed objectives Of the wage
and hour measure are completely
worthy. But, about all these measures,
one always wonders if there are OBJ
jectives other than the expressed ones.
1t should be added also that the wage
and hour measure as it now stands
is very different from the measure as
it was originally introduced 1t has
had the scrutiny OF members of two
committees in the House and Senate,
and they have greatly reduced its
scope and modified its effects.
Yet the wage and hour measure
still represents large delegation OF
power to presidential board 1t rep
resents large extension OF Federal
power at the expense of State rights
and State autonomy. The wage and
hour" measure, like all the others,
must be looked upon not as standing
alone but in connection with other
measures or proposals. There may be
some relation between this measure
and the one, proposed but not now
imminent. to divide the country into
seven regional economic provinces
This latter proposal would quote
Gen. Johnson-"tend further toward
the twilight OF the States. because the
States do have some decentralized
independent, regional, political power:
but these seven economic provinces
will have none, they are under Federal
control"
Some, whose suspicious may be eX-
treme, think that the aggregate of
several measures would result, ulti-
mately, in the virtual extinction of
the States; the States would become
mere geographical terms, obsolete like
the names of departments in France,
or having some resemblance to the
term, for example, New England"
which is geographical designation
and not a governmental unit.
These and other suspicious may be
extreme. Yet it is reasonable to say
that the wage and hour measure
ought not to be passed in the heat
and hurry of a dying Congress. II it
is good, its goodness can stand up
to adequate debate For the country
to arrive at understanding OF the
Presidents court measure consumed
several Weeks-the entire period from
the first Introduction OF the court
measure, February 5, to the final dis
position Of it, July %. was five and a
half months. 1t might not take that
much time to arrive at understanding
Of the wage and hour" measure, but
certainly the few hurried days that
can now be given to it IS hardly
enough.
