Wasdeil Not to Shift.

1t is likely that Hall Lee, the
rookie catcher, will be assigned TO

question In the mind of Harris but
that Washington regular outheId
will be composed of Johnny Stone,
Ben Chapman and Fred Sington. Lit

Jimmy has brought up the subject
Of shifting to the ouield, conceding
the first base job at present to Joey
Kuhel, but while Harris has no doubt
but that Wasdei can do the trick
he is leery of sticking another left
handed hitter in the lineup.
Hence, Jimmy probably will wind
up in Chattanooga, where he can
play regularly and await the day
when Owner Clark Griffith sees fit
TO work him in the majors. The
other inhelders. excepting Kuhel, are
of course, Cecil Travis, Buddy Myer,
Johnny Mihalic, Buddy Lewis and a

MODERN
ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Lee

q. When man and woman are
divorced, and by chance meet at
some social functions, should they
display friendliness towards each
other?
A. No. Etiquette demands that
they meet as strangers, for unless
there had been some good reason for
making friendliness impossible, they
would not be divorced.
@. Should invitations be sent 10
people who are in mourning?
A. Yes. These friends should not
be sighted, although they are not
expected to atter>
@. When one is Obliged to leave
The table during the progress of a
meal, to whom should one addres
his apology?
A. The apology should always be
addressed to the hostess.

Planning For Security
lCincinnati Enouirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer
The most crucial amendment necessary to make
the Social Security Act workable is the reduction o.
the taxes for old-age benefits to avoid accumu
lation of vast useless reserves The President has
Indicated that he will urge such change of the law.
and there is doubt but that Congress viii readily
enact tax schedule
But there is another amendment which ought to
be made 1t concerns The composition and tenure OF
the board directing this social insurance program At
present the small board is appointed by the President
for short 1t is extension of the Presidents
personality Whether Mr.. Roosevelt acts wisely or
foolishly in respect to social insurance this is an in
discreet set-up.
Social insurance at least od-age benefits, can
not be cassed as ordinary public function. It Is
business enterprise which happens to be conducted
by government 1t ought to be conducted as busi-
enterprise save Congress invokes the taxing
power to insure ample revenues.
Logically all authority social insurance ought
to be placed ii board OF directors appointed for
long and made quite independent of politics.
Like the Tennessee Valley Authority state liquor
monopoly it should be carried on much on bust
ness lines as may be possible in public enterprise
This would be abrupt departure from present
policy, for the President now has wide powers over
the administration of the act and Congress can
change the rules of the game at any time by altering
the benefits payable. But once the machinery OF
social security set in motion and the rush of starting
operations is passed Congress and the President
would do we'll to ntrust the whole business to nom
political board.
To be sure, this counter to the President 5
newly expressed theory that all administrative serv-
ices should be in of twelve executive departments
Yet the nature of the task imposed the Social
Security Board calls for sound business management,
and not for direct responsibility to political officer
of the government.
! Perhaps this technic can apply only to the old
lage benefits, not to other features Of the act But
the old-agc system is the important and wei
be handled separately.
