Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Mother.

Mother
I've heard the music that takes wings
From pipe and horn and trembling
strings.
I've marveled at the glorious art
Whose mystery thrills the human heart.
But endeavor all in vain
To recollect some splendid strain.
Instead comes echoing sweet and low
A simple song of long ago.
'Tis but dear old-fashioned hymn.
With memory mists my eyes grow dim,
And as I listen there appears
A face with tenderest smiles or tears.
1t is no song by genius wrought,
All cunningly devised and taught.
A mother-song, it soothes my ear
With love unselfish and sincere.
I've read some poets who amaze
With splendid thought and dazzling
phrase;
I've read philosophers and feared
Their wisdom as they subtly sneered.
Such words, though wondrous they
may be,
Have small significance to me
Compared to that old hymn so sweet
That told of mother-love complete.

to trade in a manner which naturally

mediately began to kite its wages under
the rising demand, while organized busi-
ness Immediately kited its material
prices? These factors killed last years
budding boom. Would Gov. Phil have
Government step in to control wages
and prices, in spite Of union and busi-
ness pressure? The very strong infer
ence is that he would.
Then the Wisconsin Governor lists as
the first of his basic principles the fol-
lowing:
"The ownership and control of money
and credit, without qualification or
reservation, must be under public and
not private control"
But the two controls that differentiate
the totalitarian states from the ordinary
capitalistic states are the controls over
prices, including the price of labor, and
controls over investment of credit and
savings. The state undertakes controls
that the free market Of competitive
capitalism once provided. These con-
trolls involve a type of regulation that
would be extremely difficult under
democracy as it is organized in this
country at present.
Phil La Toilette clearly is convinced
that a move in the direction of basic
controls is essential. But President
Roosevelt has seemed to be equally con-
vinced. The problem is to devise blue
print that can be fitted into the Con-
stitution and that then can be sold to
the organized business and organized
labor and organized finance Of the
Nation
The La Follettes argue that Mr.. Roose-
velt's controls, where applied, have been
aimed at scarcity, particularly in agri-
culture.

Barkley told reporters. 81 believe
the program will be confined
largely to amending and correct
ing existing laws. doubt if there
will be a lot of new stuff"
He did not reveal what New
Deal laws will be up for amend
ment. He also was vague on the
subject of taxes, saying merely
that it probably will be necessary
for revenueipurposes, to continue
certain nuisance" 'lepies that are
due to expire. He doubted that
new legislation would be needed
to carry out the administrations
naval expansion program but said
a different situation exists con-
cerninS its army, aviation and
anti-aircraft plans.
Congressional Democrats who
have called on the president since
the party's setback in the Novem-
Der elections, left with the i'm
preston that he not only is
amendable to revisions in the
most draftisc New Deal reform
laws and to a more conservative
"middle-of-th -the-road" program, but
that their views are to be given
more consideration than in the
past.
A survey of congressional SEN
timent reveals a strong feeling
among conservative Democrats
and Republicans for changes in
the Wagner act, the Guffey coal
act, the farm program and the
Social Security act. A fresh at
tempt is certain to be made by
Republicans to transfer admins
tration of relief to the states. 1t
will receive an indeterminate
amount of support from Demo
Gratis, some of whom Mr.. Roose-
velt sought to purge" in the
primary through the alleged use
of relief funds, and from other
party members who are honestly
alarmed by recurring charges,
whether justified or not, that the
party is playing politics with hu-
man misery.

SOLONS FACE MANY

sembly will not be as bitter as in
the past, nevertheless a strong
sentiment exists among legisla-
tors for further modification of
the levy.
On opposite side are those who
point out that the large appropri-
ations requests and the expanding
field of governmental activity
make it essential that revenue, in
Guiding that from the sales levy,
should not be reduced.
North Carolina has executed
condemned criminals with lethal
gas for the past three years. Agi-
tation for return to electrocution
has Smouldered since the first gas
execution and might we'll flare in
to the open at this session.
The question of reducing the
scope of the death penalty, which
now includes rape, first-degree
burglary and arson as well as
first degree murder, also may be
discussed. North Carolina is the
only state in which a man may
be executed for first degree bur-
glary.
Another proposal is to give su-
perior court juries the power to
recommend capital punishment or
not as they see fit in individual
cases. At present, conviction on
a capital charge automatically
carries a death sentence.
Almost a foregone conclusion
is some modification of the states
election laws. Bitter primary and
general election controversy over
use and misuse. of the absentee
ballot indicates a strong effort to
eliminate it entirely, although
some Legislators. are convinced
stricter enforcement of. present
laws is needed to prevent the
charges of fraud which this year
kept the state elections board
busy from June to October.

$4,000 Rumanian
Baptists Close
Their Churches

BUCHAREST. Dec. Is. (UP)
More than $4,000 Rumanian
Baptists, affiliated with the World
Alliance of Baptists, yesterday
closed their l,500 churches
through Rumania as King Carol
II's dictatorship augmented its
anti-Jewish program with measur-
es against Protestant organiZa-
tiOnS.
The Baptist leaders voluntarily
ordered the closing of all church
es and prayer houses to forestall
government action under a decree
issued last June l5 by Bishop
Colon of the Rumanian Orthodox
church, who is minister of cults
in the cabinet.
In order to continue services
all religious communities were
required to present petitions sign
ed by at least 100 family heads
in each community within six
months. Subsequently the figure
was reduced to so, but the Bap-
fists were unable to produce even
this number because their church
eS are scattered all over the coun-
try in small communities.
1t was believed that, in event
of a cabinet reshuffle placing a
new minister of cults in office
who is not an Orthodox priest,
the Baptists might be allowed to
resume religious services. <.
1t was reported tonight, how
ever, that the long-anticipated
cabinet shake-up had been indef-
initely postponed with possible
exception of a change in the for
eign office.
