NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
GIMME BOYS BUSY

While Congress has been in recess and its mem
hers trying (vainly, as it happened, in nearly 6
hundred instances) to get themselves reelected, the
axecutiye departments at Washington have beer
doing some heavy top thinking.
Each one of the Old Line cabinet members and
the heads of all the New Line or independent
"emerpency" agencies of the government wants his
share of the money to be disbursed. rs 4
Tbet will ask the new Congress for more money
more people more power. ...-.-.---.--- .s
The DEPARTMENT of Justice wants an extra bunch
of handpicked federal judges to hear cases under
tbe new laws already enacted. Also, it must have
another 100 high-powered lawyers to hunt trust
witches.
Agriculture will ask for processing tax on farm
products to squeeze $300,O00,O0O more from Mrs.
Americas grocery budget next year.
The Post Office Department wants to keep its
own accounts with no power of audit by the comp
troller general Others, too, are CALLED by this re-
strant,
Harry Hopkins may demand a permanent port
folio as head of new Department OF Largeese.
There will be an effort to bring $4,000 admlnistra-
tive employees from the relief organization into
Civil Service.
Some of the other "gimmes" such as army and
navy expansion call for OUTLAWS that many will say
are desirable if only there were more meal in the
sack, writes Herbert Corey in Nations Business.
But already the Government is spending 10 years
ahead of it's income.
There are those penurious enough to suggest pay
ing off some of the installments past squander-
ing and trying to lift part of the national mortgage
before plastering the nation with any more.-The

MINERAL FOOD ON
RANGES is TESTED

LAS CRUCES, N. NJ, Dec. 10.
(UP)-The animal husbandry de-
partment at State college is car
rying the laboratory to cows on
the range in a relatively new kind
of experiment which will last for
three years.
The work is intended mainly
to find out if range cattle get
enough calcium and phosphorus
from normal range feeds, by de-
termining the amounts of calcium
and phosphorus in the blood.
Work of this nature has been
done on dairy cattle, but results
are not applicable to range work
because it is impossible to get
normal range data from feed lot
tests. .f'i'f ~ -
Z" Two separate groups of cattle
are being used. One is quartered
on a natural range pasture. The
other with a mineral supplement-.
Results of this experiment should
be valuable in determiningF't the
value. Of supplemental mineral
feeding for range cattle, college
instructors said. s'.: -&7 a. =
Range work of a similar nature
is being done in Arizona and

ferent because they bring the

NEGOTIATIONS BY IVA

1t was curious spectacle, that one yesterday of
one New Deal agency, IVA, flatly refusing Mr..
Wendell WILKES plan to allow another, SEC, to
arbitrate the dispute to what is fair price for
the properties of the Tennessee Electric Power Co.
Does IVA suspect that SEC will not bring in a fair
price-that part of the New Deal can't be
trusted to deal fairly by another? Well, Mr. Will
kie says it is such thing-that on the contrary
IVA is afraid that SEC will bring in fair price
and that IVA doesn't want fair price but a price
that will justify its "yardstick" rates regardless
About that we can't say positively, but what can
be said positively is that IVA plainly means to set
its own figure. Mr.. Krug, the IVA engineer, says
indeed that he wants price 'tset by negotiation
around the conference table" But can't you just
hear that negotiation? ---.
''Well, Mr. Willkie, we think this is a fair price.
Oh, you don't think so? Well, now, amt that just
too bad? All the same, Mr.. Willkie, you had bet
ter take it. Oh, gettin' tough Ell? Well well, we'll
that being the case, We'll simply call on Mr.. Ickes
and his PWA to build duplicate plants to compete
with yours. We'd hate to do that, Mr.. Wikie, but
it would enable us to buy you out for half price In
the end, And now, on reconsideration, don't you
really agree with u.s. Mr.. Willkie, that our price
emlnently fair? All, we knew you were a reason
able man, Mr.. Wikie That's what we always say
no reason for fighting when reasonable people IKE
us can settle things at the conference table. =

RED HAND

Homer Martins reluctant admission to the Dies
committee investigating unAmerican activities that
practically all the strikes which have taken place in
the automotive industry have been fomented OF In
spired by the Communists, merely confirms what
has long been more than suspicion
The red hand of Moscow has been apparent In
most of this sort of unAmerican activity for long
time, and not only in the automotive industry, but
in industry generally.
Most of these strikes have not been called fol-
any legitimate American purpose.
The fantastic and purely Communistic idea OF
fomenting industrial trouble from the inside to Gre
ate class hatred and further their revolutionary
plans, has been, by Homer Martins own admission
behind most of this nefarious business.
There has never been any real question of higher
wages or better working conditions although these
questions have occasionally been used as smoke
screens. ..f...
Whenever these strikes won concessions-which
their leaders would have preferred not to win
they quickly found some other excuses for further
sabotagng their work.
A lot of people have pooh poohed all this. John
L. Lewis and demagogues of his sort have denied
it flatly.
But Homer Martin has known that it is so, and
his admission of the charge is officially record
That ought to be sufficient to- suggest to the
American people what to do about it.-Rock Hill

DREAM RECEIVERS

MELVILLE, Pa, Dec. TO-
(UP)-"You could have knocked
me over with a feather"
That was the remark of Robert
Mitten, 80-year-old retired pro-
duce dealer, of Davenport, Ia, as
he picked up shrunken and
spongy rubber ball which he lost
in field near here more than a
half century ago.
Mitten said he was directed to
the spot where he had lost the
ball while playing as youth by
a "strange dream" He said the
details of the dream were so clear
in his mind that he was prompted
to make an investigation during a
visit with his niece, Miss Ruth
Hemminger, Of Carlisle.
He said he found the ball in a
small hole near the brook as in
dictated in his dream. Mitten
tucked the ball in his pocket and
took it west with him.

France were. ready to otter etfec-
tive resistance.
They felt that Hitler would take
all of Czechoslovakia. But they
underestimate the ease with
which he rode and which enabled
him to content himself with the
Sudeten areas and complete DOM
nation of the rest without SOW
ereign ownership.
This done, the way was open to
the Ukraine through either Po-
land or Rumania. And it is the
Ukraine toward which he is driv-
ing When Hitler promised Cham
berlain that he would seek no
more territory in Europe, many
supposed that this would end his
drive They did not remember the
predictions referred to.
These were that Hitler would
attempt propaganda penetration
of both Rumania and the Ukraine,
setting. up minority bogies, pro-
ducing confusion and agitation and
even violence in the Ukraine and
Rumania. He would gamble on
arousing nationalist spirit in the
Ukraine and setting the people
there off upon revolt against
Russia. Germany could then sup
port the struggle of the Ukrainians
to, be free" 1..
Now this very week comes news
from Berlin that Nazi party circles
are discussing in detailthe project
of an independent Ukrainian
state. 1t is to include Ukraine and
Ruthenia, organized as a puppet
state The plan, we are informed,
proposes ceaseless agitation to
make the Germans conscious of
the Ukrainian issue and to set off
the revolutionary energy which is
supposed to srnolder in the
Ukraine. Thus Hitler moves with
retnorseless logic toward his goal

THE favorite term for Hitler in
l. this country now is mailman"
1t is of profound interest to watch
how this "madman" moves with
infexible logic toward his goals.
More than two years ago sew
eral volumes appeared in Europe
(notably Ernst Henri's 'Hitler
Over Europe") in which Hitler's
future plans were outlined. These
outlines were based partly ON
Hitler's book but also upon in
Vulnerable statements made by
nim since he came to power. AT
the time wrote an outline of the
predictions of these books. Since
that time almost every prophecy
then made has been fulfilled in
abundant measure and now we see
hitler preparing TO fulfill the
others.
Inc core of the Hitler policy,
according to these analysts, was
tne capture of the oil fields of
Rumania and the grain fields of
the Ukraine, They said Hitler
made 1t clear that she would move
toward the east and that he would
pegin by the absorption of Aus
trla; They even described in
some detail the means he would
use; And he did precisely that.
They said his next step would
be Czechoslovakia. They pointed
out that he would make the
Sudeten question the excuse for
internal agitation in Czechoslo-
vNakla. They concluded that he
would go into Czechoslovakia in
order to get the great industrial
resources of Bohemia and would
use the suppression" of the Ger
man minorities as an excuse And
they insisted he would act with
