NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A call for

proposed a meeting in Washington

he believed the damage could easily

program.
Mr.. La Guardia said Progressives
invited to the conference included
Senator Robert La Toilette of Wis

was defeated for reelection by the
Republican resurgence.

Radio Goes to Court.

And now, ladies and gentlemen of the
radio audience, you are about to hear q
series of broadcasts direct from Traffic
Court. by courtesy of their honors, the
presiding judges. and under sponsor
ship of the Traffic Committee of the
House District Committee.
The court has agreed to blare all over
the air as a leSSon-and a warning-to
motorists of what will happen to them
VI they get caught. 1t is planned
to set up microphones in front of the
bench and put the proceedings on the
radio at least once a day.
The plan has interesting possibilities.
A policy of pitiless publicity on traf1ic
offenders has well recognized advantages.
The newspapers have received commen-
dation from traffic authorities for aiding
In the campaign to impress motorists
with the gravity of the accident problem
and with the heavy responsibility which
rests upon every driver of motor car
The radio broadcasts are logical en-
largement upon the publicity program.
Some objection had been raised to the
proposal on the ground 1t might ruhie
the dignity of the court. Trying to keep
things dignified in Trafic Court is a
Job for even the sternest of judges and
attaches. Perhaps the awe-inspiring
microphones will prove to be an aid to
the court in maintaining order.

No Problem fOrthe Senator.

The ladies can always be counted on
to be certain of what they want or do
not want, as the proposal to add an equal
rights amendment to the Constitution
which now is pending before the Senate
Judiciary Committee amply demon-
Strates.
One faction, capably directed by the
National Woman's Party, is certain that
the legislation would be the finest thing
that has happened since Adam lost the
rib: a militant opposition mustered un-
der the aesis of the National League of
Women Voters suspects that the pro.
ponents have cloven hoofs.
Those working to defeat the proposal
declare that its principal effect would be
TO tear down the protection that has
been thrown about women in industry.
Its friends counter with the declara-
ton that TO make man and woman equal
before the law would do away with the
necessity for protective legislation.
This all seems pretty bahhing to
mere male; highly inconsistent as mat
Ter OF fact, considering that the con-
nictlng arguments come from aroups
which otherwise have so much In COM
mon. and ordinarily, the Judiciary Com
mltlee members who must pass on the
issue would be entitled to sympathy.

expected TO acquit itself with credit In

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Wooden n-facedness Of modern youth is
not due altogether to q desire for pro-
lection against psychological assaults.
Relaxation plays a part.
The relaxed person, young or old, tends
to be wooden faced
the healthy person is relaxed.
Health makes for relaxation and re-
taxation, to some extent at least, makes
for health.
The young people, having consumed
more vitamins and other health factors
than any other group, are probably more
healthy than any other class.
And the more relaxed.
Hence the most wooden faced.
Immobility of feature is advocated in
some books on Self-help.
One volume in the flood of Yogi books
of recent years goes so far as to praise
a complete relaxation of the face at any
time one is confronted with censure from
another.
Not only does this calm the mind,
when calm mind is needed. says the
work, but it helps fool the attack.
The one who criticizes no matter what
his position may be, has some of his fire
taken out of him by the wooden face
before him.
He cannot see what results he is Sc
curing by his TRADE, and SO hesitates in
his attack.
Modern youth learned this little trick
long ago.
1t had the physical basis of it. because
it is a more healthy generation
All the orange and tomato juice, the
fresh air. the long hours of play, and
especially the lack of nagging direction,
played part.
The more natural. in a physical sense.
the more closely human life approaches
that of the strict animal.
And the closer to the animal the
nearer to the grave features OF the
beasts.
ANY one who has seen cows in the
meadow knows the calm benignity of
those creatures.
The face Of the widest wildcat Of
them all has certain immobiltv which
has stirred poets and philosophers TO
verse and prose in their defense.
The perfect relaxation of the animals,
except IN times OF danger, has been noted
by many observers
Primitive man has been shown to
possess the same quality TO large
degree. which has been lost in ciyiliza-
ton except by those who make mighty
effort 10 escape the clutches of hurry
and worry.
The more complex our living becomes,
the more harried we are. and the more
tense We become.
This is so universally recognized today
that several much-needed books have
been published upon the subject
The need for relaxation is. indeed. an
imperative one, but how is it to be
achieved?
Many cannot get their youth back
again if they tried: all they can do is
envy the wooden face which denotes its
possession.

No ''HOnOr" After ALL

Mlsled rOmanticiSts who believe that
an underworld code seals the lips of
criminals must have been rudely shocsed
at recent disclosure, drawn by an adept
prosecutor from a reluctant witness, that
money, not honor silenced the victim
OF a" local gang shooting
The witness story concerned the
strange case of Joseph O'Brien, who
would not "sQuea' on the men who shot
him. Early one July morning in 1896,
an underworld posse sought out OBrien.
Its bullets left him lying in the street.

"ell-known Charles rags, Warning,
were indicted for assault with q dam

They were tried and convicted, although

upon to testify. Perjury Indictment.
followed and Carpenter and Berhle were
found guilty.
Then OBrien who, though crippled
oy his enemies. still supposedly was loval
to the code went to trial. Assistant
united States Attorney Roger Robb put
on the stand a young man to whom
OBrien alleeedly had talked in an un-
guarded moment. The witness said
O'Brien told him he had received q. 500
10 keep quiet and that the MONEY
came from Emmett Warning. brother of
the leader of the gang which shot him.
Even If it achieves no other purpose
than to prick the bubble which seems
to NIL the popular mind that the UNDER
world adheres TO rigid code, the work
OF the young prosecutor should be com.
mended. Gloriflcation in Aim and nc.
tion Of the gangster has created An I'm.
healthy atmosphere for the young to
breathe. The public should be made to
understand that persons who lack SUN.
cient moral stamina to play the game
according TO the rules rarely possess tho
virtue OF loyalty.
When criminal refuses to tell police
the name of the man who has vroneed
him it usually is for one of three reasons
He is afraid of reprisal; he has been
bought OH; or, most often, he thinks that
anything he says may bring about his
own prosecution. The shooting of
oBrien is an example of the latter mo-
tive. Attorneys for his assailants told
the court months ago that their clients
took the law into their own hands BE-
cause they were afraid to complain to
police that they had been robbed. If
there were honor among criminals police
would, indeed have hard time of it. for
most solutions of crime are reached be-
cause some one talked" and generally
some one does talk

COga Government Quits.

Eieotry suffered blow at Bucharest
yesterday, when the anti Semitic gov
ernment of Premier Octavian Goga fell,
after turbulent and inglorious reign of
hS weeks. The debacle was precipitated
by decision of the Rumanian Juridical
Committee, body clothed with supreme
court functions, declaring that the royal
decree of January %. challenging the
citizenship of the countrys 10000 Jews,
violates the constitutions equality clause
because it singles out one class OF citizens
for special treatment by forcing them,
and only them, to prove citizenship. In
ferentially the ruling convicted the Goga
government also of tranSgressing the
rights of mnorities pledged by Ru-
mania when she obtained her independ-
ence at the Congress of Berlin in 1878,
and reaffirmed by her in the treaty Of
Versailles in 1919.
1t was because the decision automati-
rally calls into question all the anti
Semitic measures enacted since the pro-
Nazi ministry took Office early in De-
cember that Goga primarily was forced
from Office. DR.. Miron Cristea, patriarch
