MEET DISCUSSES
PALEONTOLOGY

An address by Joseph A. Cush-
man, retiring president of the Pa
leonthological Society, featured the
joint meeting of that organization
with its parent body, the Geolo-
gical Society of America, today in
the Washington Hotel.
Following a talk on the policies
and aims of the organization, Mr..
Cushman also was heard in a
technical discussion on the "Fu-
ture of Paleontology."
In addition to these two organi-
cations, sessions also were being
held by the associated Mineral
ogical Society of America and the
Society of Economic Biologists.
The meeting was the fiftieth an
nual one of the parent groups.
At the sessions of all organization
more than two-score scientists
delivered brief papers on technical
subjects.

Miss Catherine M. ODonnell, of

covering today from facial in
juries and shock after fighting off
a colored man, who attacked her
last night across the street from
her home.
An employe of the Social Sc

police she was on her way home
when a short, stocky-built colored
man grabbed her and threw her to
the ground. Her screams aroused
the neighborhood and the assail-
ant fled. No attempt was made to
snatch her pocketbook.

aliens, and there is an estimated three million
and half illegally entered rollcall that is
being augmented with the docking of every boat
from Europe. No wonder we have millions of
unemployed among our own native!born or nat
uralized citizens.
In contrast consider the plight of the Ameri-
can who finds himself abroad and in need of
work The laws in Europe governing the en-
ployment of aliens are very strict, and there are
numerous instances of Americans being pushed
out of jobs there
America Refuge of Undertakes
America is becoming the refuge of any unde.
sirable person who is not wanted in his own
country.
In contrast to this wanton waste our amiable
Government is standing for. like to think of
the wonderful salvage job being accomplished
by Warden E. Lawes, the far-seeing head of
Sing-Sing, who has done more to rescue the
younger generation of New York City than any
man know of. Until his Boys Clubs were or
ganized the accident tolls and the arrest records
of boys from the age of nine and up were ap-
pallng. Now there are over a dozen safe and
clean Fairgrounds for youngsters and over 1900
boys and girls we're taken care Of this year. They
are sent to summer camps and taught the funda-
mentals of decent living.
They have also started a new indoor center
in New York called "Tot Lot" where the very
little children can play under able supervision
while their mothers go to their work in peace,
relieved from all worry.
My idea has always been that the Government
should create a Cabinet post devoted solely to
child welfare and juvenile delinquency. we
can have a Secretary of War and another for
the disbursing of our money, surely we could
have one to look out for our children, who are
the hope of the future.

The Administration has launched an under
cover, as well as an aboveboard, double.barreled
attack on the Ludlow referendum amendment
The Spearhead of the attack is that the proposed
amendment would handcuff the Government in
dealing with war emergencies
That, however, is not the true reason for the
RooseveltHull attack. Administration leaders
are not the least worried about its passage. They
are well aware that two-thirds of the House, two
thirds of the Senate and two-thirds of the en-
tire nation would have to support it before it
would become the law of the land. Friends and
foes alike admit that these are three stupendous
hurdles for the Ludlow amendment to jump.

argued, they should be "Substan-

have such material on top as could

dozen different societies, where everything we
hold dear in American life and tradition is torn
to shreds, and the American flag is stamped on

Get Rid of Alien MalcontentS

up at the last minute that night and I missed

there is plenty of documentary proof of the ex-

Our first step in cleaning out this nest Of NAL

by the representatives of the people. Too many
embarrassing questions would be asked Too
many why's, wherefores and howcones would be

Congressman would ask: Why does the United
States hang around war zones? Why do we
insist on the Open Door Policy? What is the
Open Door? Whose investments would we pro-
tect? What are our investments in China?
Why the proBritish policy of the State Depart
ment? Who would pay the bills, do the fight
ing and do the dying? What would happen to
the United States after such war were over?
What would we get out of such conflict?
Thus, Messrs. Roosevelt, Hull and their hench-
men drive desperately not so much to defeat
the Ludlow proposal but to even choke off any
discussion about the principles it involves.
Philosophy of Dictatorship
That represents the essence of the philosophy
of dictatorship. "Theirs not to reason why;
theirs but to do and die," said Tennyson of the
cavalrymen of the Light Brigade. His words
ironically, find apt application to the people
