ROOSEVELT PLAN
 WILL BE TESTED
Continued from Page D

 switch of such stalwart democratl as Senators Tom Connally, Texas Ellison Smith, South Carolina, ane James E. Murray, Montana, to thu ranks of foes of the bill gave thu coalition bloc its greatest encourage ment.
 Plan Has Good Backing
 But even with such Q develop ment, the number of senators wht have definitely put themselves or record for the plan was approxi' mately equal to the number wht have definitely expressed opposition
 A new poll of every member ol the senate now in Washington witt the exception of several who are i'll, showed 30 definitely expressing intention to vote for the plan anc 28 expressing intention to vote against. The survey, however, wal far from complete.
 In addition to six absentees there were 32 senators who declined tc commit themselves. In that block appeared to be many who might be bought into line by administration pressure although some privately expressed opposition.
 Country Discusses It
 The house acted while the coun- try discussed President RooSevelts proposals on Q tremendous scale The Texas senate saved the states congressional delegation to vote against them, while the Colorado house asked its states delegation to support them. The Maine legisla- ture and the Connecticut house both republican controlled, urged their delegations to oppose, while similar resolution introduced in the New Jersey senate was referred to its judiciary committee. The South Carolina house refused to consider a resolution approving the proposals That the country wide debate was to increase was indicated in the an- nouncement that Ali M. Landon President Roosevelt's opponent in the November election, would at- tack the proposals in a speech in New York Friday night.
 Drafted Before Plan
 Indications were that neither Summers bill would meet vigorous democratic or republican opposition Summers drafted them before MT Roosevelt's reorganization-whicl included both-was sent to congress
 Rep. Emanuel Celler, d.. N. Y. ranking member of the judiciary committee and close ally of Sum- ners, said the committee hoped through the retirement measure "to ease the tension because the su- preme courts dignity has suffered and tempers have become ruffled."
 Celler opposed the increase in court membership and assailed the president for not presenting his pro- gram to the house judiciary com mittee before sending it to congress.
 Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, d., Tex, told reporters that no demo- cratic opposition was being formed against the two Summers bills be. cause both had been advocated in the presidents message.
 Whip Up Sentiment
 A conservative democratic "con- stitutionar' bloc led by Representa- tives Eugene E. Cox. d., Ga. Andrew Jackson May, d.. Ky, and Emmett O'Neal, d.. Ky, prepared to appoint 8 steering committee to whip ur sentiment against the proposal on a "state-by-state" convassing basis in the house.
 Meanwhile. Senate Majority Lead CT Joe T. Robinson predicted thst the presidents reorganization pro- gram would be approved "substan- tially" in the form submitted but with minor notifications.

NEW BRITAIN HAD CENTRAL BLAZE

New Britain, Conn, Feb. 10. (UP) Fire, which swept a two-story central business block, causing esti- mated damage of $20,000, was brought under control early today.
 The blaze started in the cellar late last night. A general alarm was sounded. An explosion, believed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion, ruined the interior of the Italian Musicemporium and hurled radios and musical instru- ments through a plate glass window into the street. Two firemen were injured slightly when a door was blown from its hinges.
 The ground floor was occupied by the music store, an importing com- pany and shoe store. The second floor contained offices.

thin layer. Give it time to burn
well and heat the house, then
add a full charge of coal. When
the gases have burned off, reset
the hampers for normal burning.
This same rule applies should
the fire get very low and almost
burn itself out at any time. Be
careful not to smother it with too
much coal. Open the ashpit dam
per and close the check damper.
When the fire again is burning
brightly, shake the CRATES gently
until the first red glow appears
in the ashpit, add full charge
Of fuel, allow the gases to burn
off, reverse the dampers-close

save fuel and cut down trips to

Gid Their Teeth

The ladies in old Japan and also
of today, to some extent, gid their
teeth, and those of the Indies
paint them red. In Greenland the
women color their faces with blue
and yellow. However fresh the
complexion of the Muscovite may
be, she would think herself ugly
If she was not plastered over with
paint. The Chinese used to have
their feet as diminutive as those
of the she goats. In ancient Per-
STA an aquiline nose was often
thought worthy of the crown. -

No Poverty in Bali

In Bali the people produce
enough food in four months to last
a whole year, leaving eight months
to be devoted to leisure and the
pursuit Of happiness. The only
vices known to the inhabitants of
this earthly paradise are gaming
and cockfghting. There is no
poverty. People have so little use
for money that they bury it-until
necessity calls.-Chicago Tribune.

THE POWER THAT is Mr.. FARLEY'S

In q copyright dispatch from Washington, David
Lawrence warns of the power in the hands of the
postmaster general, James A. Farley. 1t is not
surprising that Mr.. Farley has the votes, but what
is surprising is that few people in America care
enough about the way the Farley machines get the
votes, to insist that the congress of the United
States find out how a number of its members are
being influenced if not coerced, in the exercise of
their legislative functions.
Last session, much was heard about lobbying by
special interests, but not word is heard this SEES
sion about the most powerful lobby that was ever
let loose in the United States senate the lobby of
political pressure engineered by the political bosses
and their allies in Washington, the officeholders
and partisanS." This lobby eXertS its pressure "by
the use of public funds and public Offices"
What is the moral fiber of congress which
comes under this baneful influence through Its own
action in relinquishing control of huge appropra-
tons? OF a congress which permits bureaucrat,
Harry Hopkins to make demands in the language
he used? Of congress so eager for political IA
vors that it is without courage to stand up for
what it believes to be right? Of congress, in
short, which tolerates this powerful lobby beside
which the Hobbies maintained by the utilities and
others fade into insignifcance?
Mr. Lawrence is right in charging that the
American congress is controlled by funds it has
itself appropriated. Mr.. Farley as the presidents
chief dispenser OF patronage is powerful person.
He has not hesitated to remind groups of what
their federal government has done for them with
their funds. Mr.. Farley is formidable because
the American congress chooses to give him power
which it should be welding itsef.--The Charleston
News and Courier.

WHAT IS A MORON?
BY WICKES WAMBOLDT

The first step toward correct
ing a trouble is to realize what
the trouble is. We cannot improve
a thing in which we can see no
room for Improvement. A great
difficulty with US moronS is that
we think ourselves smart.
No one has any occasion to be
conceited about himself. If he
does have some little sense, or has
accomplished some little thing, he
should be humbly grateful, and
should strive with increased hui
mility to gain more sense, and
to accomplish more.
Probably there is not man or
a woman who has reached middle
age, whose true life, if known and
analysed, would not brand him or
her moron. That is why it is so
common that persons who have
lived long, look back over their
lives and call themselves failures,
The trouble was that they started
out in life without the realization
that no one is so ignorant rs he
who does not know, yet does not
| know that he does not know. And
many come TO a green Id age
without ever finding out that they
| do not know.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AHA! so THIS is THE REASON

Congressman COnnery, of Massachusetts, an
nounces that the House labor committee, of which
he is a powerful member, will ask for the enact
ment of law by the present Congress making, $ Is
the minimum wage and 80 hours the maximum
work week in the textile industry in America.
The Congressman also informs that he had dis
cussed this measure with the President before he
went tarponing and that the President told him
ITO GO TO IT."
You would suppose that this reform would be
urged by Congressman Connery a matter of
principle
That he feels that labor in the textile industry
is entitled to such concessions both as to wages
and hours as would be made by this enactment,
But such seems not to be the case at all
II don't want anybody to think" announces the
Congressman, that because | on the House
labor committee, l am lined up with labor
What is the urge, then, for the introduction of
this bill if it is not for the benefit of the aboring
masses in the textile industry?
All! That is question.
But one easily answered-answered by Con-
gresham Connery himself. We allow him to take
the stand and give the evidence.
every manufacturer in Lawrence and elsewhere
in New England as well as every employee" he said,
should be for the minimum wage and maximum
hour bill for the textile industry because it will
take care of the unfair southern competition.
Southern manufacturers have been paying small
wages and working their help long hours for many
years."
So, it's not a matter of social-mndedness at all
Not even a matter of more New Dealism!
Nor even so much as matter of showing
friendlineSS for labor and a sympathy for its eco
nomic aspirations
1t is only matter of striking a blow at the
southern wing of the textile industry.
| selfish, miserable, mean, vulgar and contemp
| tble matter of furnishing the textile industry OF
the South in order to enable the textile industry
Mr. Connery's own city and section of New Eng
land to gain an economic benefit and advantage! A.

NO REPLY ON

The state department probably
will not reply to informal repre-
sensations by the German embassy
against George, Cardinal Munde-
LENS criticism of Chancellor Hit
Ter as can Austrian paper hanger,
and poor one at that" Secretary
Cordell Hull said last night.
Cardinal Mundelein, himself of
German extraction, denounced
Hitler and the German govern
ment in a speech before priests
of the Chicago Archdiocese Tues
day. He accused the Reichsfuehr-
cr and his aides of prosecuting
the church and of forcing the
German people to return to pa
ganism. He said it would be Cow
ardly' if some member of the
church did not make some answer.
Secretary Hull said it was his
opinion that no reply was requir-
ed by the form in which the rep
reservations were made. He con-
coded, however, that DR.. Thom-
sens action constituted "repre-
sensations" and indicated the state
department so regarded them.
