"OR the last or 10 years Or.
l. Jay B. Nash OF New York
University has been turning in
L alarms which cry the mortal
danger Of leisure. Currently, he tells
| an audience of educators at Spokane
that no great civilization ever has
developed leisure and lived" He sees
no reason why America should be an
exception.
DR.. Nash, professor Of physical edu-
cation, is, incidentally, an official Of
| the American Posture League. Con-
| sidering the fact that Sitting Bull
seems to be the country's patron saint
| just now, it might be inferred that
the professor is scolding the sit
| downers, but that isn't it at all. He
was warning against leisure long be-
fore the start of the recumbent, or
semi-recumbent, era, mainly on the
grounds that leisure makes an alto
gether flabby and useless human race.
He feels pretty deeply about all this,
and usually brings in Rome and its
decadence, as he did in the Spokane
address.
| A friend who has been back-trail-
ing the Latin poet, EnniuS, in his
native Calabria, fills me in with the
story of the leisure issue in Rome
about 200 B. c. Certain gloomy citi-
zens were insisting that, with the
gladiatorial combats and such, Rome
was becoming a nation Of kibitZers
and would surely go to the dogs. En-
MUS, a genial skeptic, the author OF
the "Saturae," commented on the fact
that the rational organization Of
leisure made it more of a business
than business itself" Seneca was
disquieted by the vices of leisure"
but Cicero considered it "the mother
of philosophy" There seems to have
been sharp disagreement among the
Romans.
For Is years DR. Nash was director
Of physical education and superin-
tendent of Fairgrounds at Oakland,
Calf He was an instructor in edu-
cation at the University of California
and has been on the faculty Of New
York University since 1926. He is a
member and officer Of many societies
in the field Of public health and
recreation, vigorous protagonist OF
industrious leisure.
Clarence Darrow once said that he
became a lawyer because he wanted
to get out of hard work on the farm.
The easiest jobs with the shortest
hours always pay the best" he added.
Gene Sarazen hated school when he
was in the eighth grade and quit to
help his father, an Italian contractor,
build houses. Driving nails developed
steel wrist.
One thing that bothers DR.. Nash is
that, as nation, we suffer from
"spectatoritis." That, of course, sug-
gests base ball. and in the news is
another reminder of the thin line be-
tween leisure and business. The De.
partment of Justice, responding to the
appeal Of Representative Raymond J
Cannon Of Wisconsin, orders an in.
vestigation to ascertain whether majo.
league base ball violates the anti-trus
laws.

Gus crime. For without submitting
the case to the people, the local police
will suspend Of themselves the NTH
amendment Of the Constitution, under
which no person in a criminal case
shall be compelled to be witness
against himself. The brutalitles OF
Nazi S. A. men, the castor oil tactics OF
the Black Shirts have all been de-
scribed in detail for a horrif1ed Amer1-
can public. But they are the same
tactics which our own police officials
blithely employ continually, in ma
grant violation Of the basic law.
Nor is that all. The sixth amend
ment to the Constitution entities
every citizen to speedy trial by
an impartial jury, and the eighth
amendment forbids excessive bail or
cruel and unusual punshment'-
the latter even after conviction. But
punishment which ought to be un-
| usual and is certainly cruel Is in
flicted on American citizens regularly
in police jails before they have even
| been indicted for crimes, to say moth
ing OF being convicted. And as our
law operates there Is little they can
do about it.
The most appalling case recently
| was that of Frank Monaghan, \ hotel
man of UniontoWn, Pa, father OF q
Yale professor, who was arrested In
Fayette County, Pa. for driving
while intoxicated" and was hideously
beaten to death by detectives and
policemen in the flngerprtnt room OF
the jail. The autopsy, I am in
formed, revealed that he had not
been drinking. Eleven ribs were

Thus the disputes between different

ers and economic losses to the Nation
as a whole, seem to the labor board
to be just an internal affair of a
couple of union groups here and there.
This is in marked contrast to the
idealistic purposes and objectives pro-
claimed when Senator Wagner and
President Roosevelt participated in 4
pen-signing ceremony with moving
picture cameras reeling off new era
of industrial peace for America. To-
day the national labor act is to all
intents and purposes dead letter
because the labor board is Influenced
by President Roosevelt, who in turn
has political fear of the power Of
John Lewis. The Wagner law prob
ably will be declared invalid in Ger
tain sections next week, but it con-
tains the foundations of a good labor
policy for America provided it can
be amended to include among unfair
labor practices" the misguided acts OF
over-zealous labor leaders as we'll as
of unscrupulous and tyrannical en-
ployers.
