1T is our intention to make
recommendations to Congress by
January 3, the date the Seventy
sixth Congress convenes," said
Vandenberg, who is member of
the Senate Finance Committee
as is Herring.
First witnesses to be heard prob
ably will be from Procte.' &
Gamble Company and the Gen
eral Motors Corporation, Vanden
berg revealed.
Proctor & Gamble probably
has the oldest large-scale pro
fit-sharing plan in effect in this
country" Vandenberg said, con-
tinuing:
There are probably 5000
employers in our country who
deal in direct profitsharing in
one form or another, and there
are about 200 different plans in
effect.
EAGER FOR FACTS
The purpose of our hearings
is to get the facts, to learn
whether profit-sharing can be
encouraged by an incentive tax;
that is, by allowing exemptions
or rewards for such portions of
earnings as are delivered to
profit-sharing purposes.
My personal belief is that
the way to popularize capital
ism is to make capitalists in
some degree out of the largest
possible number of our people,
and the way to assure a mass
understanding of the so-called
profit system is to bring the
largest possible number of
workers into intimate touch
with profits and losses when
they are made"

If actual work on the memorial

PWA HOOVER IDEA

Agencies which, as Washington
sees it, have a more or less per
manent lease on life, even though
launched by the New Deal, in
clude:
/. The Social Security Board
and the system in general,
2. The Civilian Conservation
Corps, universally praised.
8. The Securities EXC h n e
Commission which, though Its
functions may be modified, seems
likely to endure as part of the
permanent Federal structure.
4. Public Works Administra
ton. embodiment of an idea
Herbert Hoover pounded away on
while he was Secretary of Com
merce in 192O-24. and a e r
launched as President.
RFC TO CARRY ON
5. The WPA or some other
agency to handle the relief load
with the possibility that this
responsibility may be shifted ultl-
mately into Social Security, since
the two are halves of the same
whole.
6. Reconstruction F i n n c e
Corporation, another carryoVer
from Republican administrations.
7. Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, Home Owners Loa n
Corporation, United States Hous-
ing Authority and Federal HouS-
ing ADMINISTRATIONS these
housing agencies all are expected
in many quarters to be brought
eventually into single housing
agency under one roof
iva DUE TO STAY
8. There is the possibility that
TVA, the Electric Farm and Home
Authority. and Rural Electrified
ton Administration will also be
combined, and the latter two may
be abolished But IVA apparently
Is here to stay.
9. Farm Credit Administration,
itself the product of merger OF
farm credit agencies, is another
agency which can hardly be wiped
out or greatly curtailed, although
it could be shifted into one of the
departments.
10. The Maritime Commission,
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration and numerous lesser
agencies also appear TO be accepted
as desirable acquisitions to the
Federal structure.
OTHERS ON ANXIOUS SEAT
That leaves the National Labor
Relations Board, the Coal Com
mission, National Emergency Coun-
Gil, National Youth AdminiStra-
ton, Surplus Commodities Cor
poration, Commodity Credit Cor
poration and a few others on the
anxious seat 1t is the organiza-
tions in this group which seem
to have the feWeSt friends in Con-
gress, or 10 have done less to
justify thelr existence since they
were organized than most of the
others
On the whole, Washington looks
for few major changes in the es-
sential functions of the Govern
mt9t either as the result of enact
mentS by the next Congress in
January, or as a result of future
political turnOvers.
A reorganization bill of some
kind is regarded as certain to be
passed eventually-but not now
unless Congress controls the de,
cisions. Should President Roose
welt revive the reorganization
issue, he will find Congress insist
ing more strongly than ever on a
veto power over all presidential
moves. There are indications that
on that basis they might get to

Miracle Work err
WOrshipped
In Death

NEW YORK, Nov. II GNSD
All through the day they come;
some on crutches. some wan and
wasted by disease, some staring
eagerly with eyes that see not.
They kaeel beside the crystal
and gold-plated caSket in which
lies the body of Mother Fran
cesca Saveruo Cabrini the Little
Nun" who on Sunday will be
beatified in St Peters, Rome,
after exhaustive inquiry by the
Congregation of Rites into her
life and works and the miracles
attributed to her intercesSion.
LIGHT OF FACE
You expect, perhaps, to have
a miracle wrought before your
eyes. there in the little anteroom
off the chapel of the Mother Ca
brini High School, FOL Fort Wash
ington Avenue.
There is none, unless it be the
miracle of seeing faith wreathe
a face that was despairlng with
the light of peace and hope.
But there have been miracles,
sister tells you. Two that led
to the beatification, necessary
step that in future years may lead
to Mother Cabrini's becoming the
first American saint.
And miracles that have not been
Judges by the Congregation OF
Rites but are claimed in all parts
of the world by those who have
kneIt beside the casket of crystal
and bronze.
MANY LETTERS
There are thousands of let
ters every day." says the sister,
who taught in New Orleans
public schools until the material
world became too much to bear.
Many say they have been cured
through the intercession OF
Mother"
Mother Cabrini died in 1917,
but the sisters speak Of her as
though she still moved among
them, a tiny, frail figure that
never seemed to rest.
SISTERS ASLEEP
A delicately-tinted mask of a
composition made in her native
Italy covers her features. 1t is a
mask made from a photograph Of
the Little Nun" when she was
young. One tiny hand, also covered
by a waxen mold, rests on the
black habit which is her Shroud.
A child pipes, whats the SIS
ter doing, mother?" And the
mother says. "she is asleep"
Lips are moving in prayer and
there is a rustling whisper Of
beads, but many heads nod in
agreement.
SEEKING COMFORT
To Mother Cabrini they still
come-and will for years-Seeklng
faith, comfort or cure, finding at
her side the solace that, perhaps
they might not derive from relic.
Mother Cabrini came to New
York from Italy in 1899 and set
tied in the Slums. She cared
for Italian orphans at first. Later
she converted two old buildings
into Columbus Hospital, where she
lived for many years, familiar
figure in her black habit, with
black silk veil, black cap with
Shirred bow under her chin.

The fine was the heaviest i'm

Little Change Seen as
Result of Election
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

It is WashinRton's guess that
few of the "Coing concerns Of
the New Deal Will be either abol.
ished or materially modified by
Tuesdays turnover in Congress.
Looking ahead YOU can find
plenty of money to back the opln-
ion that few New Deal agencies
now funCtioning will be wiped out
at all-even if a Republican Pres
ident and Congress were to oe
elected in 1910
This view finds more than a
little support in private and pub
lie expressions Of New Deal critics
on Capitol Hill. 1t isn't the
physical structure of the New
Deal they denounce so much as
extravaganza, waste, use Of Fed
eral funds for obviously political
purposes and the constant rise Of
the relief load.

Well-informed quarters felt that
the fine would serve to wipe out
the fortunes of rich Jews, while
the poorer will be assessed in pro-

In addition to the fine, the Jews
are to be compelled to pay for
the property damage, which OBJ
servers estimate to be in excess of
an additional billion marks.

Asked if the Memorial Commis-

plans if he was shown they
called for destruction of 500 trees,
Gibboney said:
Il can't answer that now"
Due Here Tuesday
Gibboney said he would come
to Washington Tuesday to discuss
the proposed destruction of trees
with National Parks officials.
The National Parks Office to-
day said it could not tell how
many of the cherry trees, vener-
able elms and big sycamoreS,
white birches and naples in the
area will be killed.
I'VE are merely acting as
agents for the Thomas Jeffer-
son Memorial Commission and
we must carry out their plans
with the least possible destruc-
ton to the park beauty" A. E.
Demaray, associate director of
the park service said.
OTHERS IN GROUP
Members of the Commission di-
recting destruction of the cherry
trees include, besides Gibboney,
Senators Elbert D. Thomas, Of

this pressure from back home" To
achieve this end, we must first raise
funds which are necessary to carry
on an educational program for our
cause. Then the campaign for, the
vote must be continued relentlessly by
tireless chairmen in every city, coun-
ty and State in the Union. Natur-
ally. this would be a tremendous task,
requiring wise and energetic leader
ship, but the reward would be a real
victory for democracy and for the
District of Columbia.
In this progressive age of ours, We
have seen many evils of the past
corrected. feel strongly that the
present unsatisfactory political sit
uation in the District OF Columbia
cannot be permitted to continue much
longer.
If our ideal Of political democracy
is worth its admittedly high price,
it is worth fighting for against all
odds-even II only 100000 against the
rest Of the Nation! However, I
know that if we continue our fight
Systematically, the latent sense of
political justice will be aroused in
America. Then we will no longer be
