every justice remaining on the court
after reaching the age of seventy
five years. Under its provisions the
President would be permitted to
name one new justice this year (be-
sides filling the vacancy left by the
retirement of Justice Willis V a n
Devanter) and assure him of at
least one new appointment to the
court in each remaining year of his
present term of office. All of the ap-
pointments would hinge on the de-
cision of justices seventy-five or
older on retirement.
The opposition Immediately
charged that the new bill was as
offensive as the old one. Sen. Burton
K. Wheeler, Democrat, Montana,
said: 'The compromise is not going
to get through. The new bill is just
as Objectionable as the old, because
it seeks to pack the Supreme court
just like the original bill did" Sen.
Edward R. Burke, Democrat, Neb-
raska, said the 43 senators would
vote against any kind of measure
that would increase the Supreme
court.
Some of the other provisions of
the new bill were:
Authority for 20 additional APP
pointments to lower courts in
the event that judges over seventy
fail to retire. The old bill would
have permitted so new appointments
altogether.
Speedy Intervention by the gov
eminent in cases involving consti-
tutionality of federal laws, and
speedy appeal to the Supreme court.

E.D.R. Wakes Impatient

TT WAS believed that the pressure
1 of public opinion in the steel
strikes had driven President Roose-
welt close to supporting federal Leg
islation similar to that in the amend
ments proposed by Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg of Michigan for the
national labor relations act. The
President indicated at a press con-
ference that he was as much put out
at the c. I. O. for forcing organiza-
ton upon the steel workers as he
was with the corporations for refus-
ing to negotiate in terms of a signed
contract.
Senator Vandenberg's proposed
amendments were designed to
broaden the rights of employers un-
der the Wagner act, forbid "sit-
down" strikes and other unfair"
union practices, and provide severe
penalties for unions which violated
contracts with employers.

Asserts Short Hair Cut
Is More Healthy for All

People are more healthy and vi
vacious with their hair cut short,
according to M. Kershaw Walsh,
associate professor of psychology
at the University of South Carolina.
The general capacity to endure
is weakened when the hair grows
long and it has been shown that long
hair saps strength by draining vital
material in the form of oil from the
body, Walsh said.

Mediators Blame Steel

THE federal mediation board
L named by Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins, which reached a
deadlock and gave up in its efforts
to help the c. I. O.-affiliated Steel
Workers Organizing Committee and
the independent steel corporations
solve their difficulties, laid the
blame for its failure at the door of
the steel concerns.
eve cannot but believe that the
bitterness and suspicion which sep
parate the two sides would be al
layed by man-to-man discussion
around the conference table between
the heads of the four companies
and the union representatives, and
that the only present possible hope of
settlement lies in such a meeting"
the boards report said.
eve further believe that the re-
fusal of the four companies to enter
into any agreement with the S. w.
o. c., regardless of the number of
employees whom it actually rep
resents, which could be demonstrate
ed by secret ballot election, is
not the way to industrial peace"
The report said that Tom Girdler,
chairman of the board of Republic
Steel and leader of the companies
fight, stated that she would not
consent to a term contract because
he believed it necessary for the
proper operation of his company
that it should be in position to
meet the fiuctuating price of steel
by wage variations if it became
necessary"
On the board were Charles P.
Taft, chairman; Lloyd K. Garrison
and Edward F. McGrady.

"a person is in much better phys
ical condition when his head is close
ly cropped" declared Walsh.
Hair growth on the body is no
definite sign of strength, although
many individuals with such growth
are unusually strong"
Women haven't monopoly on
long hair, either.
Musicians and the artist group
as whole still cling to the long,
hair motif. Tradition plays an i'm
portant part in this CUSTOM" Walsh
said.

Woman Passes as Man

Budapest.-Paul Kuszenda, thirty

was put in the mems section. When
the prison doctor later discovered
the prisoner was woman, she con-

She said she had worn mems clothes

Satsuma ware is a famous va

yellow and has minute crackles in
the glaze. 1t is richly painted and
lavishly gilt. 1t was widely manu-
featured in the last century at
Awata, near Kioto. The cracked ap-

Rebels Take French Ship

IT HE situation in Europe was
1 hardly improved, with Germany
and Italy still anxious to give the
full rights of belligerents to both
rebel and loyalist governments in
Spain. AS the directing subcommit-
tee of the committee of q nations
for non-intervention met, Britain
and France sought desperately to
effect some compromise which
would keep the entire non-interven-
ton program from being washed
overheard, but the two Fascist ma
tons were difficult to WOO with any
compromises Britain and France
could afford to make.
Meanwhile, two French warships
were speeding for the Spanish coast
between Bilbao and Santander,
where, according to reports, the
Spanish rebel cruiser Almirante
Cervera had fired upon and cap
tured the Tregastel, a French ship
carrying loyalist refugees from
Santander. The refugee ship had
been chartered by a French popu-
lar committee to aid the loyalists.
It had been reported halted less
than three miles off shore, well with
in Spanish waters.

IsoIafes Paralysis Germ

WHAT the medical profession
w considers major step in the
conquest of infantile paralysis was
taken when DR.. Edward Carl Rose
now announced to 100 physicians,
surgeons and medical research
workers in Glendale, Calf, that he
had isolated the germ which causes
it. DR.. Rosenow is professor of ex-
perimental bacteriology at h e
Mayo foundation in Rochester,
MINI.
Work with spinal fluid taken from
nurses who had contracted the dis
ease at the Los Angeles general
hospital in 1884 enabled him to iso-
late the micro-organism.
DR.. Rosenow said that now the
germ has been isolated steps must
be taken to develop a serum SIM
liar to the serums used in fighting
other ravaging contagious diseases.

THE most Incredible thing has

year after year, building up rep
utation for invariably being right,
the same as George Bernard Shaw

-bango!-I make one little slip and
the trusting reader is shocked from

The other day I suggested taxing
salaries of governmental en-
ployees. Now from all sides I'm
told federal employees are subject
to income taxes; only the vast ma
jority of them, and probably the
hardest-worked ones, draw such
small wages that they owe Uncle
Sam nothing when March is rolls
around.
So far as recall, this is the sec
ond time in my life I've been wrong.
I can't cite what the other instance
was-some very trif1ing matter, no
doubtful it must have occurred
because ! remember the nationwide
excitement which ensued, with peo-
pie going around in a daze mutter-
