Scientist Is Seeking
Grass ScOurge Cause

Prof. M. Newstead, who discovered
the breeding place Of the tsetse ny tn
the African jungle and saved thou
sands from the dread sleeping sick
ness, is to attack new scourge. It Is
the grass sickness responsible for the
deaths Of thousands Of horses in Scot
land. particularly in Aberdeenshire,
and may be affecting the health Of
humans.
Now 80 years old, Prof. Newstead
has consented to make the research,
according to reports in Aberdeen, at
the request Of David Min, head Of q
large seed firm, who will finance the
work.

Victery Dinner Comment.
In his victory dinner address, March
4, the President, referring to the
courts decision In the New York mini
mum wage case, said:
THE Nation was told by q judicial
pronunciamento that although the
Federal Government had thus been
rendered powerless to touch the prob
lem Of hours and wages Gin the N. r.
A. and GufIey decisions), the States
were equally helpless, and that 1t
pleased the personal economic prede-
hctions' Of = majority Of the court
that We live In Nation where there
Is no legal power anywhere to deal
with its most difficult problems no
mans, land of final futility."
In his decision upholding the Wash
ington minimum wage law. and Incl
dentally reversing the ruling in the
New York case, the Chief Justice
asserted:
The Legislature Of the State vas
clearly entitled to consider the situa-
tion OF women In employment, the
fact that they are in the class receiv-
Ing the least pay. that their bargain
Ing power Is relatively weak and that
they are the ready victims of those
who would take advantage Of their
nscessitous circumstances. The Leg
tslature was entitled to adopt meas

the light Of the language Of the court.
In his 1reside talk, March ., the
President said:
Since the rise Of the modern move
ment for social and economic prosress
through legislation, the court has more
and more often and more and more
boldly asserted . power to veto laws
passed by the Congress and State
Legislatures in complete disregard Of
this original limitation. (That the
validity Of . lav is presumed until
its tnvalidity Is proved beyond all
reasonable doubt) In the last four
years the sound rule Of giving statutes
the benefit OF al reasonable doubt
has been cast aside"
In his opinion In the Wagner case,
Chief Justice Hughes said:
THE cardinal principle Of statutory
construction is to save and not destroy.
We have repeatedly held that as be-
tween two possible interpretations Of
. statute, by one Of which 1t would be
unconstitutional and by the other
valid, our plain duty is to adopt that
which Will save the act. Even to avoid
. serious doubt the rule is the game"
The President, In the same address,
also said:
Our difficulty with the court today
rises not from the court Is an In
stitution but from human beings with
tn 1t. But We cannot yield our con-
stitutional destiny TO- the personal
Judgment Of . few men who, being
fearful Of the future, would deny US
the necessary means Of dealing with
the present"
Again, In the Wagner decision, was
found this reply: .
We are asked to stut our eyes to
ths plainest facts Of our national life
and to deal with the question Of direct
and indirect effects (on interstate
eommerce) IN IN intellectual vacuum.

 Tn october the United States, however, regained the lead as chief exporter to Argentina. De- spite a German trade mission in 1884, the Nazi trade scheme has not fitted into Argentina's needs, which dovetan better with the United States.
 Italy Spares No Expense
 The place where the United States is definitely behind Is in naval and military missions and re- sultant sales of arms. A naval mission Is now in Brazil, but the proposal to lend destroyers has snagged on the recent, political overturn there.
 Germany or Italy will be happy to oblige, however, If the deal with the United States falls through. Italy has already offered two ex- cellent destroyers to Chile. Me. aragua, in buying e big order Of an- ti-aircraft guns from Switzerland the other day, said 1t preferred to deal with the United States, but had been unable to get delivery. Italy spares no expense in demonstrating and selling It's military aircraft in Peru and Chile.

 A Temporary Boost
 American movies have always been popular to the south, and have led many to study English as their second language" rather than French or German. Here again Fascist influence is seen in the barring of "The Road Back" and "They Gave Him Q Gun" in Brazil and Chile as "hampering the development of 6 sound pa- triotic mind." German and Italian movies are not apt to offend on that score.
 The German "barter" expedient of buying with "AsK1" marks which may be spent only in Ger many has given that country Q temporary boost in the South American market. Last year 1t pushed the United States out of first place as chief exporter to Brazil and Chile.

FUNDS USED FOR
 HEALTH STUDIES
U. s. Outlays Provide Ad. vanCed Training for To.
 cal Dept Workers

Part of the United States Public Health Service funds available to Connecticut under the Social Seclir- ity Act is being used for the ad- vanced training Of personnel from local health departments and those in state health service, the State Department of Health announced today.
 Public Health scholarships afford- ed by these funds are limited tn general, however, to people who are working under the direction of a full-time health ofilcer, who are eligible for admission to accredited graduate or professional schools and who agree to return to their pres- ent organization for at least ono year after completion of their ad- vanced studies.
 Under this program, public health physicians, nurses, sanitar- ians and bacteriologists may receive this training which Is of growing importance, since the more progress sive cities are setting high standards for their public health personnel. While personal aptitude and adapt ibility are of utmost importance In health workers, the bulletin point ed out, advanced training in pre- ventive medicine has become a ile- cessity. A physician may be among the best in his community as Q practitioner of medicine, yet totally unprepared to deal with the epic demioiogical and educational proo- lems of modern public health ad- ministration. This applies with equal force to the public health nurse and the sanitary engineer.
 At the present time, i7 Connecti- cut people are taking advanced stud- les under public health scholar ships at various colleges and hose pitals. They come from the State Department of Health and from the local health departments In Water bury, New Haven, Bridgeport, Hart. ford, Middletown and Bristol.
