Good Old Santa Claus

(By William Henry Huff for AMP
Now Christmas does not seem the
same.
There's nothing to it but the name;
Some person who thought he was
smart
Has taken out of it the heart
And killed the underlying
OF all its joy-old Santa Clause.
One does not find in it he thrill
As when old Santa came to fill
A stocking saved the whole year
through
With things to eat and something
new.

And listen for old Santa Clause.
But now they've put a lasting ban
Upon this good bearded man,
And, oh, we think it awful mean
To drive this good man from the
scene.

flaws
Why did they pick on Santa

For Removal of JudqeS

a zealot on the question of ju-
dicial reform"
Delay in the administration
of justice is the crying defect Of
our judicial system" he con-
tinued. Everybody knows 1t.
You do not have to prove it.
"A man knows" citing the
case of a Judge reserving deci-
sion for two and half years and,
then ordering a new trial and
record, that when he starts a
case in court, that very likely
he has embarked upon a life
long adventure"
The deviSers Of any system to
supplant impeachment would have
to exercise care" or they might
set up a procedure for removal
of judges which might become
oppressive" he pointed out.
His assertions were elected
when he recommended that q
budgetary and administrative sys'
tenn separate from the Justice De
partment be set up for the Fed

ALIEN JUGGLING
FLAYED IN HOUSE

GN.S.). Sharp criticism Of the
Bureau of immigration. for max
ing an agreement with Canada, so
that aliens illegally in the United
States can remain, was disclosed
in hearings of a House Appropria-
tions subcommittee today.
Under the agreement with Can
ada, the selected aliens are sent
there by the Bureau Of Immigra-
ton, permitted to reenter legally
and thus avoid deportation.
Representative Caldwell CD Of
Florida, during the subcommittee
investigation, asserted that 1T is
a violation of the letter Of the
law"
immigration Commissioner ]. L.
Houghteling vigorously denied
this. insisting the practice is en-
tirely legal.
He asserted that it is confined
to husbands or wives of American
citizens who have, entered this
country illegally and are subject
to deportation. If they were de-
ported, he said, families would be
broken up.
The subcommittee was told
Hundreds" of aliens have been
readmitted legally under this pro.
Cedure. 1t also was invoked, the
subcommittee was told, to permit
aliens to remain in this country
for whom special legislation was
sought but not obtained from
Congress.

I.NS.) The country has "out-

peachment" for removal of judges,
Attorney General Cummings de-
clared in testimony before a
House Appropriations subcommit-
tee made public today.
But what to do about it" he
said. ''is the question.
1T IS not clear whether salts
factory machinery could be de-
vised that could be put into ef-
feet by congressional enactment.
1t might possibly require a con-
stitutional amendment, but that
Is disputed question.
"But it is rather absurd that
the whole machinery of govern.
ment has to stop while we try
at great length elaborate
charges against judges. There
ought to be simpler way"

ON RELIEF BILL
Fight on House-PaSseC
Measure Expected
Rx ARTHUR HACHTEN

U.N.S.) Rumblings of a Sen
ate battle over the $3.50, ,000, 900
emergency relief appropriation bill
were heard today as the House
approved measure was received.
Administration leaders drove for
Senate passage of the bill by Mon
day. An Appropriations subcom-
mittee. headed by Senator Adams
CD Of Colorado, began hearings
on the bill behind closed doors.
Called to testify were Aubrey Will
liamS, acting Works Progress Ad'
ministrator:: Arthur j. Altmeyer,
chairman Of the Social Security
Board, and Daniel w. Bell, acting
Budget Director.
NEEDS STUDIED
Senator. Bone CD of Washing.
ton questioned whether $3.50 900,
900 additional would be sufficient
to take care of the needy during
the next four months, after which
funds for the next fiscal year. will
be available.
''I am making an investiga.
ton of the needs with a view to
offering an amendment for q
larger amount" Bone said.
All attempts to hike the total
were bowled over in the House be-
fore the measure was passed last
night, .351 to %. Adopted, 1877 to
90, was an amendment by Repre-
sentative Lanham CD Of Texas
to deny relief to aliens. While
aliens theoretically are denied re-
lief under existing law, the Ian.
ham amendment would require in
vestigation Of each applicant to
see that he or she is not an alien
CHANGE UNLIKELY
Since President Roosevelt spe
officially recommended $3.50 ,000,.
600, expectations were that would
be the amount carried in the bill
when passed. While some Sena.
tors said they felt the sum was
too low. others argued that with
the Social Security Board and
other relief agencies caring for
many persons. the appropriation
would be too large.

Employers to Be Asked
To Drop over AS Bars

G.N.s.) Secretary Of Labor Per.
kins plans to call a conference OF
large employers, in an attempt to
stimulate employment Of men over
IS years old, it was disclosed in
House Appropriations subcommit-
tee hearings made public today.
LUBIN BARES PLANS
Discussing the employment prob
lem faced by men in the 1854 age
group, DR.. Isador Lubin, commits
sioner of labor statistics, told the
committee:
IT do not know that I am vio-
lating any confidence when I
say that the Secretary Of Labor
is going to call a conference Of
large employers and put 1t
straight up to them"
Miss Perkins, in a Labor Day
speech last year, pledged her de-
partment to putting men over As
back to work.

what remedy he could suggest for
the problem, DR.. Lubin prescribed

He highly praised q claim by
the Ford Motor Company, that it

Recovery by
Building
SdysLuben

GN.S). Failure of this coun
try to return to the employment
peak of 1929 is largely because
the building and allied industries
have failed to recover, DR.. ISador
Lubin, labor statistics commits
sioner, told a House appropria.
tions subcommittee in hearings
made public today.
The post-depression employment
high of 1887 fell 100000 short
of the 1929 peak and virtually all
of the differential was attributable
to the slack in the building trades,
he said.
OTHER INDUSTRIES PROSPER
On the other hand. he added,
employment in "some industries
like steel, agriculture, and iron
was in excess of 1929"
Here is what he described as
the picture as a whole" in the
building trade in poSt-depression
peaks:
Lumber never got much
above 73 per cent of what it
had been, sawmills, 81 per cent,
nnillWork SO per cent, stone, clay
and glass rs per cent, brick so
per cent, cement 10 per cent,
and marble and granite, Al
per cent.
1T is interesting to note that
the United States Government
in 1885 consumed half of the
cement consumed in the United
States through its PWA pro-
gram, but thai industry did not
get above 10 per cent Of what
1t had been.
MUST BE KEPT MOVING
"Those (figures) are illustra-
tive Of the Importance of build
ing. The building industry
must be kept moving so that
other markets may be Stimu-
lated"
He said he believed that build.
ing in the future will not be so
concentrated" home building
