nON'T tell President Roosevelt
~ but-s Senator who comes
from a State between Ohio and

Finance Committee on revision
Of corporate tax. So far he
has found half Of the committee
has changed its mind since last
session and now is In favor Of
notifications to help small
business a lot and large bust
ness a little.
Whether or not Mr.. r. favors
revision, 1t is still a 2.to-1 bet
that Congress will.
THE "stare decisis" may not
= mean anything to you. but
it is likely to be a misplaced
pin in the robe Of Justice
Black.
Before Mr.. r. pushed Black
off the front page with q de.
ceptive foreign policy. a lawyer
discovered Black had once said
in the Senate: "No doctrine Of
stare decisis applies to opinions
on constitutional question" In
English that means Black
thought the court could reverse
all its historic constitutional
principles.
Apparently Solicitor General
Reed has found that out. In
arguing a minor case before the
court this session, he sought to
reverse the courts previous atti-
tude and the attitude Of his
own Justice Department ex-
pressed only a year ago. And
Reed used exactly the same
words about "stare decisis" that
Black had used in the Senate.
A decided stare passed be-
tween them, and left lawyers
wondering what the Constitution
may really turn out to be a few
years hence.
The recently analyzed list Of
Democratic candidates omitted
Senator Wheeler and Governor
Lehman. Some OF their friends
have complained by wire.
Wheeler was left out for this
reason: His leadership in the
fight against the Supreme Court
may have made him the most
courageous-C Congressman Of the
year, but it has not helped him
politically. His liberal friends
are sore. The conservatives can
not champion his cause, frankly,
because he is too left wing fer
them on other subjects.

How long must an outraged

seems, while sex-maddened crea-

youngsters whose toll as victims

Several perpetrators Of these
atrocious crimes were the pos

CHILD WILL INSIST
 ON FOLLOWING PADS
Unhappy Under stigma Of Being
 "Dlfferent"
(From Stein and Blaine, New York.)

/ Many parents do not realize that children of school age arc the most hidebound conformists fin the world when lt comes to clothes. In this. the final article on "IIow 10
 Dress the Children" Olive Rob-
 erts Barton details for NEA
 Service and The Waterbury
 Democrat some of the clothes
 quirlIS she has found in her long experience as a child training
 expert
 What shall the school child wear? It all depends -- first of all, rlatur- ally, on purse. Anything from older brother Georges hand-me- downs to things from this swanky Chil- dren's Shop on the Avenue. Any thing from basement bargains to the imported trousseau that Aunt Martha brought from France. It all goes, and 1t is all correct. We must do what circumstances dictate and not lose sleep over 1t.
 Children themselves, however, have 6 code of their own about dressing. We are only the arbiters of their apparel to a certain degree. And we would do well to pay some attention to their claims.
 Children Shy From
 Exclusive" Models
 While Mrs. Smith rages if she sees Q duplicate of her exclusive gown and berates the importer who assured her that no other like 1t exists, here small daughter is begging for a monkey cap like all the other girls are wearing" or tugging at her mothers arm to let her have 6 pair of strapped shoes like Mabel's.
 Boys are even more sheeplike than girls in this matter of herd dressing. They don't care a snap
 how awful they look, as long as they are in school style. These styles, by the way, are usually lo- cal, and there Is no way of tell- ing what will strike the ring leaders next. It may be anything from wearing their shirt tails out to flashing odd stockings on each leg; usually 1t is something queer and disturbing, be sure.
 While mothers may try to keep things balanced and insist to a certain degree on regulation dress ing and neatness, she will also be wiSa to allow for the violent need of her boy or girl to be in the swim. If 1t Is all the same to her, instead of buying James . brim hat, 50 be- coming to him, let him have his visor cap, or helmet, that will not mark him as different.
 Children will wear torn clothes or darns, but hate patches. Don't ask me why. They do, that is all I know. A little sight is permisSt- bic here, because this land of 0ura was raised oa good old patches. But
