Ponce de Icons fruitless quest for
the Fountain Of Youth in Florida 400
years ago is compensated for today by
the success which thousands Of Wis
itors have in leaving behind them the
rigors Of winter elsewhere and adding
years to their life expectancy In its
balmy resort sunshine.
AS I stepped of a Florida special
into the warm atmosphere and in
formal cordiality Of the welcoming
groups, a bit conscious, perhaps, Of
winter clothes, an abandoned Christ
mas tree seemed an alien note amid
the rustling palms. This year an cpl
demic has blighted many Of their
lower branches.
Soft coral sand drifts across the
edges of the highways, as though to
remind one that Florida was once
part Of the ocean floor.
Hospitality Noted.
Everywhere one has the feeling Of
being welcome. Bus drivers, for ex-
ample, obligingly wait for passengers
even If they are block away.
Perhaps nowhere do past and pres
ent furnish more vivid contrast,
with Indian settlements, Spanish
ruins, historic spots famous in the de-
velopment of French and English
colonies standing cheek by jowl with
modern cities, engineering develop
ments and citrus fruit plantations.

CrOtanS with inconceivable foliage

The once popular japanese hi

shamefacedly referred to as Oriental

Begonias have a glowing luster of

atingly alien. but the horticultural

Call Themselves Crackers"
The idea that Florida is inhabited
chiefly by tourists Is erroneous. Most
Of its population Is born within the
State. The residents call themselves
crackers" without apology and are
content not to absorb many OF the
characteristics OF their visitors.
Because of q $4,000 exemption to
homesteaders, absence of State in
come and inheritance taxes, simpli-
fed construction Of homes and absence
Of heating bills, Florida has also be-
come mecca for those who have
been retired On limited incomes as
well as for those who are seeking q
winter holiday.
The residential center Of West Palm
Beach leans toward the Spanish type
of architecture, but every now and
then one sees Southern Colonial

Cape Cod reproduction complete even

you may be fairly sure, for rocks in
this part of Florida are not indigenous.

Fascists and Communists in the

strength and that strength isn't very
great, Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt has
assured Brasetta Thomas Of Spokane,

Mrs. Roosevelt's answer to Miss

IN the March issue OF the Democratic
Digest OF the women's division of the
Democratic National Committee, which
carries a page entitled Dear Mrs.
Roosevelt"
Il can only speak from observation,
Mrs. Roosevelt wrote. 1T seems to me
that the number of Communists in
this country at the present time is
comparatively small. I feel that the
Fascists are quite as much in evidence.
However, have no fear of either
group as long as our own form Of Gov

MARCOSSON BACKS
NAVAL EXPANSION
Town Hall Speaker Holds
Collective Security Is
Impossible.

Warning the Town Hall audience
that there can be no collective security
for the world because there is no COL
lective intelligence. Isaac Marcosson,
author and journalist, last night urged
acceptance Of the naval rearmament
program submitted to Congress last
month by President Roosevelt.
When America has the greatest Navy
in the world to protect her double
coastline, he continued, then there
might be effected an Anglo-saxon
combine which would make this Nation
and Great Britain the stewards of
world peace.
Comedies Duce Intelligence.
The speaker, pleasing his audience
with numerous we'll turned phrases
and recollections of personal inter-
national journalistic experiences, dealt
caustically with the worlds dictAtors.
although according Mussolini a gen.
erous measure of intelligence. The
Italian, he said, is the only No.
dictator in the world today, al
though he shares with all others the
vanity, temperament and sensitive
ness to criticism.
Reducing much Of the international
strife to the familiar parallel OF the
"haves" and the have nots." Mr..
Marcosson blamed a great share of
the current manifestations of bitter
ness to the Versailles treaty, flung
open like Pandoras box to release a
frenzy of hate"
For several years, however, he said
he had believed no general war i'm
minent. In Eneland's recent gestures
OF friendship to Italy, he added, there
Is new hope of continuing peace, since
such an alliance would have dampen-
ing effect on the more dangerous
Rome-Berlin axis. Further discour-
aging to warlike intentions, he said,
is the knowledge of all nations that
they cannot trust each other as allies.
Contemptuous Of japanese.
Mr.. Marcosson spoke contemptu-
ously Of the Japanese, whom he termed
the most overestimated people in the
world shoddy in character, barbaric
in psychology and overrated as
fighters.

Although favoring wage-hour legis-

ment of board to fix wages and
hours. recommending that Congress
set those limits with reasonable diff
ferentials" to cover established pro-
duction areas. A board could be per-
mitted to vary the rules to cover
emergencies, he said.
Mr.. Baruch made what some observ-
ers interpreted as an indirect jibe at
the National Labor Relations Board,
asserting that such a board should
never regard itself as pressure bureau
for any particular union or form of
unionism.'
Opponents Of the board have accused
it Of bias in favor of the industrial
unionism fostered by John L. Lewis
c. 90.
At the outset of the hearing, the

added:
In correcting 'uneconomic' areas

employers to petition for lower wage
scales than the proposed N. r. A.
standard
THE total effect of the bill, if it be-
comes law, will be to depress wages
that have been raised above sub
sistence levels by collective bargain
ing. by conscientious employers and
by employer-employe cooperation.
Plan for Cutting Wages.
with no guaranty that the pro-
posed law can raise wages in the lowest
brackets, the administration bill does
provide perfect mechanism for re-
ducing wages. That demonstrates that
either the administration either does
not want an effective minimum wage
law or else it is so slaphappy on the
issue 1t can 10 longer think clearly"
Among the comparative figures, Mr..
Hartley said he would lay before the
committees executive session tomor-
