SMITH ATTACKS
c. |. D. BLACKLIST
Candidate Charges Unit Is
Attempting TO Run
Country

Charges that the Committee for In
dustrial Organization and Labor's Nom
Partisan League are trying to run the
country by blacklisting numerous
members of Congress. including him.
self, were voiced today by Representa-
tive Howard w. Smith of Virginia.
Mr. Smith is campaigning for re-
election in opposition to William E.
Dodd, jr., in the eighth district.
In paid advertisement in an Alex
andria (Va) newspaper, entitled
Who's Running This Country?" Rep
resentative Smith reprinted Wash
ington newspaper account of Labor S
Nom Partisan League announcement
that it would seek to defeat those
members Of Congress who had opposed
the union.
MY name is on the blacklist" Rep
resentative Smith said 1T will be re-
membered that the c. I. O. originated
and conducted the sit-down strikes
that terrorized and paralyzed business.
Sit-down strikes are anarchy.
I will continue to fight them and all
other un-Araerican activities openly
and uncompromisingly
Accused Of Evasion.
In reply the "Dodd for Congress
Club" accused Representative Smith
Of evading the issue.
''Yes, you are on the blacklist" the
club stated. But why pick on the
c. I. o.? You are on the blacklist of
every Democratic voter in this district
who believes in the aims and objectives
of President Roosevelt.
I'VE have never had a sit-down
strike in the eighth district As for
un-American activities, your high
handed work on the Rules Committee
(of the House, still rankles in the
hearts of all true Americans, be they
Democrats or Republicans. You are
an obstructionist and a reactionary."
Denies Byrd Is Issue.
Previously Mr.. Dodd had referred to
Representative Smiths membership
on the House Rules Committee and
this groups efforts to block action on
the wage and hour bill during the last
session of Congress.
Meanwhile, supporters Of Mr.. Dodd
refused to acknowledge" that Sena-
tor Byrd of Virginia is an issue in their
campaign.
G. Alphonso Smith, jr, publicity di-
rector for the Dodd campaign in Alex
andria, said ito the best of our knowl-
edge" the Senator's name has not at
any time been mentioned by Dodd
supporters in their campaign. To
charges that Senator Byrds voting
record against several New Deal meas
ures was being used by Dodd support
ers as bait" to catch New Deal votes
Mr.. Smith replied: I'VE need no such
bait

EXTRA FOR SPEED
Architects and Engineers
Benefit From Unusual
Dispatch

Premium payments to architects
and engineers who demonstrate "un-
usual dispatch" in preparing non-Fed-
eral P. w. A. projects for construction
before the January deadline will be
included in the As per cent grants
of funds to municipalities under ar
rangements worked out by the Public
Works Administration.
Administrator Ickes approved the
plan, it was said, because he felt the
men deserved reimbursement for over
time and for hiring extra help to get
projects in shape. Heretofore, fees for
architects and engineers were allowed
only within limitations, and any extra
expense had to be met solely by them
or by the municipalities hiring them.
In other words, officials explained,
the P. w. A. will pay As per cent of
all extra fees when it is demonstrated
that the technical staffs, which occupy
key positions in the programs, were
responsible for expediting construction
work.
Pay on Sliding Scale.
Payment will be made on sliding
scale arrangement, varying from an
increase of 10 per cent of the base
fee calculated on construction cost
of $250,000 or less, to payment of
per cent increase of the base fee
on construction cost of over ST.
25O00O.
The P. w. A. program already has
reached the construction scale and
the order respecting premiums will
work decidedly to the advantage of
those cities that were late in getting
the applications in The law speci-
f1es that construction on all non-
Federal projects must start before
January and each contract must
specify the date in which work shall
commence.
r. E. A. Joins Parade.
With 2,40s non-Federal projects ap-
proved by the P. w. A. and plans
being pushed to start pump-priming
for the heavy Industries, another
agency, the Rural Electrification Ad-
ministration, today joined President
Roosevelt's lending-spending parade
with expressed hopes of assigning its
entire sl4O,000,0o0 to projects during
the present fiscal year.
Administrator John M. Carmody,
who informed the vacationing Presi-
dent by wireless of his hopes, an
nounced he would send field men into
l3 States between July % and August
29 to hasten organization of rural elec-
trio co-operatives.
These would be granted longtime

Tadpoles Like Radium.

Tadpoles given eight times the
dosage OF radium rays for human
beings apparently like it. This has
been discovered by scientists using
the wigglers in experiments at the
Westminster Hospital Radium Annex
in London. Tadpoles given the maxi
mum amount have difficulty in swim
ming, but survive. The experiments
are to determine the right quantity
OF rays to give human patients and
the intervals at which to give them.
1t has been found that the growth
OF tadpole can be stopped for IA
days, after which they resume normal
growth, apparently none the worse
for their experience.

YOHN BARRYMORE recently
struck devastating blow at the
egotisln Of actors.
He said that actors are un-
important people.
He said they were particularly un-
important to intelligent people.
People who really count in this
world" said the famous actor, "are
the ones with imaginations.
They can read into a portrayal
much more than an actors perform
ance and see it in their Imagination
much better than any group OF mines
could hope to do it.

Of this time I have given only hand
full Of good performances. And even
these performances can't hold a can
die to the performance that an intelli-
gent person could imagine.
AN actor is about as important as
feeble illustrations in a good novel.
An actors performance at best is the
way he happens to feel about a GER
tain character. And why should the
way an actor feels be important to
persons who are capable of doing their
own feeling?

formance in my lifetime. And I gave
it only because I was scared stiff. I

Just to show how the world fairly
swarms with movie talent scouts, the
man from whom our intelligence on
the subject comes points out that John
Trent signed his Paramount contract
while plotting a transport plane at
$4,000 feet. That's pretty high for
transport planes, but that's what the
fellow says and we were not there.
Then. by way of proving that one
is not safe from Hollywood gold, even
at sea, there is the story of Frances
Farmers signing with the same COM
pany. Miss Farmer was riding home
from Europe. still uncertain as to
whether to be neWspaperwoman or
something less exciting, when man
on a bring m-back-beautiful expedi-
ton saw her. From that minute she
was for his company or he would have
been failure. He was not failure
for way out there under the stars Miss
Farmer signed contract.
But even though you do not fly at
$4,000 feet, or ever return from Eu-
rope on a boat, you need not worry.

EVEN with all its worry and fretting
about taxes, the dominance of
child stars, dual features and the next

these days to be happy that Spencer
Tracy won the Academy Award for the
best acting performance of the year
1887. The award never was bestowed
upon a more popular choice. Every
one seemed to approve of it, except
the modest Tracy, who says he thinks
1t should have gone to Freddie Bar

real genius of Captains Courageous Z"
Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, for whom
the modest and tremendously talented
Tracy works. approved of the award
more than any one else in the whole
universe. The company gave Tracy
new contract calling for slightly more
than $4,000 week. That is lot of
dollars per week, but in spite of the
fact that Robert Taylor is better look
