T II E N EW = EAL
IN WASHIN GTON
lay RODNEY QUICKER

WASHINGTON. - The Senate
" and the House like to hit
each other over the head with
rubber clubs, but it's usually all
in good clean fun and they nearly
always wind up scratching each
others backs.
Especially when it's a question
of spending money.
No truer demonstration of this
spirit of brotherly love could be
found than in the slight difference
between the House Independent
Offices appropriation bill for 1883
80 and the Senate Appropriations
committees version of the same
bill.
The House passed a bill ap-
propriating Sl,4l0,628,5l5. After
certain addition and subtraction
the Senate committee reported a
bill calling for Sl,4l2,O69, 465. The
committee decreased the House
DILL by Sl,322,050 and increased it
y S2,763,OOO. Net increase: ST.
t40,95O.
All of which is just so many
hgureS unless you notice that
the increase was entirely "for
construction of a dam at or near
Glbertsville, KY" to carry out
the provisions" of the IVA act.
IVA wanted to build that dam
and so did the House Military
Affairs committee which nurses
IVA. The House Appropriations
committee objected to this extern
sion Of the IVA system.
But Kentucky is the home state
OF Senator Alben w. Barkley,
Senate majority leader. A Gill
bertsville dam would be a big
asset for Barkley, who had been
having reelection worries because
OF Governor Happy Chambers
aspirations. Obviously, his fellow
senator's couldn't let Alben down.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1938-02-08

And so, while providing for
start on the GilbertSville Dam,
they carefully pruncd certa n
items from the House bill for no
better reason than trading pur-
poses. They cut $4,000 from the
Central Statistical Board, Sl5O,OOO
from the Civil Service Commits
sion, ;S24,050 from the Employees
Compensation Commission, $780,
600 from the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, S75,-
0ta from the National Archives,
S395,000 from the National Labor
Relations Board and so on.
None of these cuts made any
particular sense except for the
fact that the bill would subSe-
quently go to Senate and House
conferees for a compromise. The
House conferees could be expected
to agree to GilbertSville Dam If
the Senate agreed to restoration
of the reductions.
And so it goes in the U. S.
Congress.
SPEAKING of figures, one of the
~ most creditable things to be
said for the New Deal is that
most of its statistical agencies
have struggled notably to make
their tables, charts and compila-
tons more and more accurate.
Sometimes one strikes a snag.
The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics studied awhile and de-
cided that its figures on distribu-
ton and sales of commercial APP
pies were sour and should be can
ce!ed for good because of i'm
possibility of getting relia bic
statistics. But the commercial ap-
pie interests nave made a big
squawk.

THAT'S BIG NEWS: In these
hustling political times one is not
surprised to read from day to day
of candidates offering for office,
but when F. d. Dalton comes forth
with the definite announcement
that he isn't in the race for any
office, it reminds one of the old
law of determining news values.
We were taught that if an ordi-
nary dog bit Il man, and with no
bad results, that was not of news
value, but that if a man bit a dog
that was unusual and therefore of
great news value. Man can make
good front page news by merely
stating that he is not a candidate.

age those who are not in distress
to apply for public help? When
you do, you break down about all

and determination to 60 ahead on
his own strength and initiative.
BY increasing the number helped
we increase the public burden.

Showing theWay! New Zealand 25 Years Ahead. of United States in Saw ing Babies.


 Babies born in New Zealand have 8 much better chance of living to celebrate their first birthday than those born in the United States.
 The lives of about 39,0O0 white infants could be saved each year in the United States if this country was as efficient as New Zealand in thwarttng infant mortality, accord ing to statisticians of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance Company. "In- stead we are 25 years behind that country in this respect the statis- ticians say, flor our infant death rate at the present time is still as high as New Zealand's was a quar- ter of century ago" These figures reflect an almost incredible dierence in the infant mortality rates of the two countries, for the rate in the United States, though it has been cut nearly in half during the past 20 years, is nevertheless 66 per cent higher than in New Zealand, which bnarts the lowest infant mortality of any country in the world.
 It is significant that where the comparison with New Zealand is least unfavorable, to us is in the cause of death difficult to control, namely, ccngenital malformations and debility and diseases peculiar to early infancy. The mortality from these causes is practically the same in the United States aSin New Zea- land-918 per 100000 live births. For all other conditions, that is, essen tially those which can be prevented by proper care and feeding, the mortality in this country is con- siderably higher than in New zea- land.
