Says:

You know, for a bunch of folk
who are just getting out from
under the greatest depression
we ever had, l never saw so
much discomfort as is now being
caused by labor, law, lucre and
love.
The last two mentioned al
ways have been a big problem,
but between the Supreme Court
and the unions, a working man
doesn't know whether to stand
up for his Constitutional rights,
or to Sit-dOwn for his bargaining
ones.
1t does seen funny that these
two major subjects should be
of national Importance at the
same time. However, / guess the
movies have sort of educated US
to expect dOuble-features.

that we're out of the horse and

be a lot of people who still want

JOHN H. DAVIS
100 YEARS0LD

John Henry Davis will pass the
century mark March 27. Sitting
in an armchair and gazing through
a window at his home, TOT Fifth
st. S. E., he said today that he
felt like he could live a hundred
more years, but that he might
and he mightn't."
This venerable man, who is now
the father Of three Give of his
children are dead), the grand
father of 13, and the great grand
father of II, fought with the Penn
sylvania Light Artillery during the
Civil War in the battles of Bull
Run, Charlottesville, Fredericks
burg, Antietam and Gettysburg
Referring to the close of the war
he says:
II heard the band a-playin,'
and it's still a.ringin' in my
ears"
Mr.. Davis was born in Hagers
town, Md, and made his residence
in Washington at the close of the
Civil War. He was a timer by
trade and went to work for the
local branch of large oil com
pany.
His family physician attributes
his longevity to a good appetite,
but the old gentleman thinks that
"a moderate amount of whiskey''
might have had something to do
with it.
His 50-year.old son, Harry Davis,
with whom he lives, can remem-
ber only one spell of sickness that
his father had. That was two
years ago, and became down with
pneumonia. His son said that his
father refused to leave the mustard
plasters on his chest, and soon re.
covered.

Resigned
SLIP OF THE PEN
BY HELEN EssARY

The Conscience. That Bites
A conscience, the New England
brand that stands a bit more
straight and asks itself more trou-
blesoime questions than any other
species, lost President Roosevelt
one of his most conscientious
workers when Chairman John G..
Winant, New Hampshire, resigned
recently from the Social Security
Board.
John Winant-that's a rugged
sounding name in itself, for a long
time has been troubled by the fact
that, although a Republican, his
sympathies lay in other than Re
publican paths of thought. (He re.
signed from the board during the
campaign, you remember, to speak
out for the Social Security act
then so bitterly attacked by Mr..
Roosevelt's opponents.)
Mr.. Winant's conscience at last
took possession of him. It refused
toilet him stay on the board as the
representative of Republicanism
when he generally agreed with the
New Deal on the Social Security
law SO the Social Security lost a
fine, intelligent worker.

On Measure

Fresh opposition to the bill to
legalize racing in the District
famed today with the disclosure
by two members of the House Dis
trict Committee who are hostile to
the measure that they have been
threatened with political assas-
sination" if they continue in their
opposition.
Both members sought to have
their names withheld. At the
same time they were understood to
be prepared to bring the threats
into the open when the bill is con-
sidered by the House on March %.
ReprisaIs Threatened
It was reported that they had
been threatened with political re-
prisal by other members of the
committee who are favorable to
the measure, and who voted with
the favorable majority in report
ing it to the House by a 10-to-8
margin.
AS the first reaction to the
revelation it was learned that
three members Of the committee
who were not recorded as voting
when the 10-to-8 vote was taken
in the committee may join the
present hostile minority in oppos.
ing the measure. Should this
happen it would reverse the atti-
tude Of the committee, placing II
Of its members on record as op-
posed to racing, and 10 in favor
Of it.

members of the committee who
claim they were threatened with
political embarrassment unless
they dropped their fight are work.

Joined by the six other members

against reporting it favorably.
Among members of the opposi.
ton who are most vigorous in
fighting the proposal to legalize
horse racing here are Representa-
tive Bates CRO of Massachusetts
and Representative Hull P.) of
Wisconsin. Both are gathering
data from other cities which, they
say, tends to show that during the
racing season merchants are un.
able to sell their normal volume of
merchandise or collect their &C.

When the vote was taken in the
committee Representative Mary T.
Norton CD of New Jersey, it's
chairman, used two proxies to OBJ.
tain a vote in favor Of the bill. At
that time several of the new mem
bers as well as one or two veterans
on the committee who opposed the
bill charged that it had been rail
