- New Deal independence

WASHINGTON The so-called federal inde-
pendent commissions some OF whose lndepen-
dence Congress undertook to preserve when 1t
carved up the presidential government reorgan-
ization program, are not always as independent
as you might suppose.
William Orvine Douglas has just been elected
chairman of the Securities and Exchange Com
mission theoretically he was elected by the
three other present members OF the commission.
Actually, it is very doubtful whether Douglas
could have become chairman if the full White
House influence had not been thrown behind
him. Wall Street influences tried hard to block
him seeking the elevation of a more conservative
commissioner
There was no question about the fitness and
ability of Douglas The question was whether
the SEC under his Craftsmanship, would be
tougher in dealing with Wall Street than under
the previous chairmen, Joseph P. Kennedy and
James NJ. Lands. Nearly everyone, from Wall
Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, guessed that
it would.
Chairman Douglas promptly announced that
his would be a conservative administration.
Possibly it will be recalled that Rex Tugwell
once, appearing before a Senate committee, in
sisted that he himsaf was "a conservative.
Liberals and conservatives often insist on calling
themselves the other thing.
Nothing that anyone knows ABOUT has oc-
CURED to make him more conservative than

The Valley Sets Up
A New Kind of Strike

He would be serious minded fellow
indeed who did not get chuckle out of
the admonition of Imperial Valley farm
ers to creamery employees that there will
be no milk delivered to any creamery
which is brought out under CIOh dom
ination. 1t is new kind of strike,l this,
and one to which CIO is not accustomed.
1t is perfectly legal kind of strike, too.
A farmer can sell his milk to whom he
pleases.
There is bit more than chuckle in
the situation, however. 1t may be that
Imperial Valley is leading the way
again in movement which the rest of
the nation may soon adopt, as it has
done on several occasions. The public,
here or elsewhere, is not long going to
stand labor strife which boosts the cost
of living beyond the average pocketbook
slows down the machinery of business
to depression level and helps only those
labor organizers who make their living
out of the dues paid by union members.
We may be witnessing here in Imperial
Valley the beginning of movement
which will conteract the radicals labor
advances of the last two years.
The farmers of Imperial Valley do
not intend to have their always unpre-
dictable incomes jeopardized by labor
warfare 1t may not be long before the
consumers of the United Safes adopt
the same attitude.

Emma Bovary tries desperately
to WOO funds from her former
suitors. Then, respondent and
sick, she begs a poison dose and
dies, in as grim and melodra-
matte a death scene as ever the
National Theater stage has
seen.
To one who arrived in his
first night perch, fresh from the
pages of the novel, Madame
Bovary," lacked a satisfying
substance for many of the char
acters that trod the stage.
Some of the incidents por-

plot nor are interesting enough
to merit the distraction that
constant raising and lowering of
the curtain involves.

a tour de force for Constance
Cummings, its featured actress.
She looks enchanting in many

tunes and when she has ad-
justed herself to its variable
moods and a more even tempo,

There are laurels, too, for Carl
Harbord and Eric Portman,

Bovary suitors, and first night
ers were plainly won by the
phlegmatic and gullible DR.. Ba-
vary, as projected by Harold
Vermilyea. Ernest Cossart has
the task of providing most of
the comedy and served well with
his droll and dry witticisms as

In the final analysis it struck

further developed and empha-
sized.

One Gallaudet Threat.

1t started late in the third period
after Leo Latz recovered a Shepherd
tumble on the Gallaudet %. Two
passes and line plays pushed the oval
to the Shepherd %. At the outset
of the fourth quarter, Drake and At
wood negotiated two fruitful end runs
which, coupled with 15-yard hold
ing penalty on the West Virginians,
put the pigskin on the Shepherd l.
Then the MoUntaineers frightened to
get the ball on downs.
Shepherd scored twice in the Sec
ond period, once on a 30-yard pass
from Willard 10 Hanna and again on
several line plays after a pass inter-
ception. In the closing minutes of
the final quarter Hanna intercepted
one of Atwood's heaves on his own
10-yard line and raced 80 yards down
the side of the field to touchdown.
Only once did Fornichelli fail to con-
vert.
Gallaudet has only one more en-
counter before their season ends. On
November 20 it travels to New York
TO play Hofstra. Yesterdays was its
fourth setback in five starts. It won

* Johns Hopkins gave American
University . double lesson in
de-emphasis here today, show
ing how \ schools football record and
its athletic exchequer could be de-
emphasized in one fell swoop.
Hopkins players gave the grid les
son by scoring in every period to bring
down the Eagles, 25-6, and their
schools administration impaired the
other bit Of wisdom. For whatever
satisfaction A. U. might have gained
by playing before the largest crowd to

was lost In sight Of the fact that the
visitors shared not at all in the gate
receipts.
Because. under Hopkins new policy
there wasn't any, its students and
specially invited guests" being ad-
mitted free. And because 1t failed to
receive a guarantee, it was pretty well
established that the only individuals
whom the game cost money were the
A. U. players themselves and their
roofing contingent. They had to pay
their way over.
1t was = typical throw-back to the
early part OF the century, other modern
items in addition to gate receipts and
guarantees being conspicuous by their
absence. There was no public address
system. no press box nor any peanut
and candy salesmen, and If one wanted
a soft drink he had to wait between
halves and walk to the solitary counter
under the stands.
1t also was an old-fashioned foot
