Time magazine, departing from its
custom of designating a single per-
son. today chose Generalissimo and

as the man and wife of the year"
1t is the second successive year
that the magazine has selected a
woman in its man Of the veal"

In commenting on the selection,
Time said:
Man of two years 1882 and
1934) was Franklin Delano Roose-
welt, but certainly he has not been
man of 1887 . If there is U. S.
man of 1887 he is John Llewellyn
Lewis who made his G. l. 0. a
primary force in the affairs of the
nation.
But there are good reasons why
no U. S. citizen is the man of 1887.

grea. a position as Nine. Chlahg
holds in China. Japan Launched
her great adventure without out
standing leadership, but China, the
victim of the adventure, has had
the ablest of leaderships.
Through 1887 the Chinese have
been led-not without glory-by ore
supreme leader and his remarkable
wife. Under this man and wife the
traditionally disunited Chinese peo-
pie have slowly been given
national consciousness. Her rise
and that of the generalissimo in
less than a generation to moral and
material leadership of the ancient
Chinese people cover a great page
of history
To-day the Generalissimo and
Nine. Chang have not conceded
China'S defeat. They long ago an
nounced that their program for as
many years as necessary will be to
harass, exhaust and eventually ruin
Japan by guerilla warfare. II Gen.
eralissimo Chang can achieve it,
he may emerge as Asia's man OF

IA, B. G. BOARD POWER
FACES COURT TEST
Suspension Over Violation Of
Credit Limitations Brings
Injunction Action.

The question whether the Alcohol
Beverage Control Board can legally
suspend the licenses Of liquor dealers
who do not conform strictly to its
credit limitations, was raised in Dis
trict Court yesterday and will be
argued April g.
Justice Peyton Gordon ordered the
board to show cause in court on that
day why it should not be enjoined
from enforcing q one-day suspension
against William S. Martin, proprietor
Of Martins Tavern, 1854 Wisconsin
avenue.
This action was taken In . suit
fled by Martin, . former Georgetown
University athlete Through Attor-
neys Harry T. Whelan, William B.
O'Conneu and William A. Gallagher
Martin told the court he had owed 4
wholesale concern $21.13 for 40 days
Cafes and restaurants are allowed
is days to pay such bills. and hotels,
80 days.
Martin was in the habit of paying
his bills when goods were delivered,
but was not in the store when one
load was brought in, thereby giving
rise to the debt, the suit explained.
His attorneys contended that the
credit limit should be flexible in order
to conform to the legal provision
that 1t be reasonable" They claimed
the action Of the board was unrea-
sonable and punished an unintentional
Violator.

But the advantage OF it is that it

President Roosevelt has said. time Ia
OF the essence. We need legislative
power now, right now. We should
not even have to wait until the next
session Of the present Congress The
powers OF Congress must be upheld.
Yet many Senators feel bad about
doing this in what they consider an
improper manner Senator Wheeler
says he nominates the American
people for dictator. All right, let them
dictate, but give them a chance to
do it right away.
Let Congress submit an amendments
Of the Constitution giving Congress
the power to override Supreme Court
veto, like Presidents veto, by a two.
thirds vote. Let ratification by COLI
Ventions be required, not ratification
by Legislatures. Then go further and
call the conventions by act of Con-
gress, not leaving this important de-
tail to the dilly-dallying of Legis-
latures. In the last amendment some
States did not get to vote on it at all.
Let Congress call the election for
these conventions to take place in
one month. We have had debate
all over the country and the people
are qualified to decide the question
now, right now. Then Congress at
its present session can act in Accord
ance with the vote of the people.
AS for irregularity, the Constitution
itself is ignored in times Of war be-
cause that is an emergency. Tho

try gather here for what the chamber

niversary.
Round Table First Day.
Discussion of this problem will be
launched at round-table conference
on the opening day, at which one Of

president of the Caterpillar Tractor
Co. of Peoria. Ill. The general meet

pickets as targets for the merciless
fire Of their hired thugs as dis
closed at the La Toilette hearings?
Lowell Group Held ''Mockery."
The c. l. o. said the Lowell group S
appeal was "a mockery." and de-
clared:
These are the same men who de-
cry any and all attempts of the Fed
eral Government to regulate the evils
now prevalent throughout the country
These men represent a school OF
thought that feels that Government
should be dictated to and controlled
by their small. select, SNUG group OF
financial Bourbons.
Furthermore, we submit that there
is not one sit-down in the State OF
Massachusetts, at this time, nor has
there been single sit-down strike
that lasted over four hours in this
State and in no case has there been
q defiance of the forces of law and
order by the workers"
The telegram said the c. T. o. well
coined an investigation because 1t
would disclose that the presence OF
armed guards and detectives oper-
ating for private industry, the ease
with which injunctions are continu-
ally granted against peaceful picket
ing and the exorbitant sums asked
in labor cases for minor offenses would
be proven to be some of the funda-
mental causes of sit-down strikes.

former to show others how the work
Is done. They will receive prevailing
rates Of pay in domestic service for
q minimum number of hours each
week. Junior demonstrators may be
transferred from other w. P. A. prof.

It Is expected a great many OF the
women will be placed in private jobs
and thus be removed from w. P. A.
rolls.
Any persons interested in house.
work or the problems Of household
employment may attend the demon

herself attend or send her maid to
witness a demonstration in biscuit or
cake baking, proper methods Of clean
ing, ironing, busting or other related
subjects.
The demonstration projects are to
be set up on a Statewide basis and
any State may initiate them locally

Essential.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Socialist
Leader Norman Thomas, in q pre-
pared address on President Roosevelt's
court reorganization suggestion, as
serted tonight:
LII I were member of Congress
sHpuld vote yes on the Presidents
proposal with genuine feeling of
regret that he raised the constitu-
tipnal issue at this late date in this
form and with a lively inSistence that
the issue cannot be properly settled
without constitutional amendment.
IT do not believe that of itself the
Presidents proposal is blow to De-
mocracy," he added in speech over a
c. B. S. radio network. Il believe
that it was blow to the ideal con-
ception of Democratic functions that
the President should have refused to
discuss the issue during the campaign
only to raise it as critical after the
campaign. ] did my best to make the
ment to the Constitution vital in the
last campaign. That was when it
should have been discussed. Then
mandate might have been given to
expedite an amendment. was COM
pftely unsuccessful in bringing this
issue to the fore. I got no help from
aspublic which was resolved to vote
for Mr.. Roosevelt with untroubled
mind"
Thomas contended at least three
amendments were necessary TO make
the Constitution reasonably workable
Id this day and generation" Advocat-
ing an amendment to make the Con-
stituton easier to amend as the first,
he added:
THE second desirable chance is
provision for the direct election Of the
President and Vice President Of the
United States with some guarantee
Of the right Of minority groups to get
Oh the ballot.
FINALLY, 1t is necessary that there
should be a carefully framed amend
nfeEt positively conferring power upon
Congress with concurrent though
subordinate power for State Legisla-
lures to legislate without danger Of
judicial veto for the economic and
social well being OF the people"

Domestic workers trained under a
w. P. A. program initiated last Feb
ruary are to be given employment at
Government demonstration centers, it
was announced yesterday, to teach
housewives and maids household work
as skilled art
Household occupations, the largest
field Of work open to women, Is the
only avenue Of employment for women
where the demand for trained workers
far exceeds the supply.
Training centers established by the
w. p. A. in II States, the District Of
Columbia and New York City pro-
duced small army of skilled domes-
tic workers. Nearly 5000 of these
found employment speedily.
Under the program, the girls and
women received no compensation dur
ing their training period and many
desirous Of preparing for household
employment could not enroll because
they had to work on regular w. P. A.
projects to support their families.
Ellen S. Woodward, assistant admin
istration, conceived the idea Of turning
these training centers into demon
stratiou oenters, employing women
