He was the first witness before
the Seven-man committee which

HALF AS MANY. MORE
HOMES SAID NEEDED
Nv Louis J. SCHAEFLE

By LOUIS }. SCHAEFLE
WASHINGTON, Aug. l3. (UP)
The national emergency council
last night submitted long-await-
ed report to President Roosevelt
describing the Southern States as
a vast, underprivileged section
where relatively poor wages,
health, housing, credit and educa-
tional facilities prevail.
The 60-page survey, prepared
by southern officials in the fed
eral government with the aid OF
an advisory committee Of 22
southern educators, executives,
planters and professional men,
made no recommendations to al
leviate the situation. The report,
however, found the south's eco
nomic health to be so poor that it
is expected to command the i'm
mediate attention of the Wage
Hour Commissioner Elmer F. An
drews, who has optional power to
raise industrial wage Immediately
to the Accent minimum levil pre-
scribed by the 18th congress.
Southern congressman, almost en-
block, bitterly opposed passage of
the act.
The report additionally came
on the heels of a personal declara-
ton Thursday by President Roose-
welt at Athens, Ga, that purchas-
ing power must be raised in areas
where it was too low. Mr.. Roose-
welt himself ordered the NEG to
undertake the survey, after char
acterizing the south as Our No.
l economic problem" The mon
partisan" investigators agreed
with him. Their report stated
that the south is a treasure-trove
of soil, water and population re-
sources, but has failed to achieve
the level of purchasing power,
credit and living standards to
which it is entitled.
The report indicated that over
dependence on cotton as a cash
crop was largely responsible for
the south's economic dilemma.

Al reaching the very heights of heroisn and
here was an ordinary dog doing precisely the
same thing.
This shows better than any sermon the God
given spark that is not only in the hearts of all
poor human beings. but is also given mans best
friend, the dog.
I am trying so hard to read and understand
remarkable book by Emmett Fox, called "The
Sermon on the Mount" In it he explains, as
Christ did, that greater love hath no man than
to give his life for friend"
We all love to help our friends and we all do as
much as we can, but what difference there is
in helping, and then going home to our families
or going down to the movies, from staring death
in the face deliberately and knowingly and acting
without a moments hesitation. When you read
things like this you realize what a grand and
glorious world this is and to what remarkable
heights human nature and canine nature can
reach.
Service to ones fellow-men should be our first
consideration, and it is so true, 'love will last
when wealth is gone. Just be glad that you are
living and keep cheering someone on"
You may be sure that dear little Willie is living
gladly and gloriousy in freer and happier world.
because he not only tried to cheer his little dog
along, but gave Up his own life to try and save
the thing he loved the best.

most brilliant person in the world, who would
stand calmly by and see the things he pretended
to love be struck down without even making a
move to help them.
The cases were reversed when the three little
boys were swimming. Two Of them managed to
get to shore, absolutely exhausted leaving their
little companion drowning. There was their pet
dog running up and down on the beach, crying
and whining sensing there was danger, but not
knowing exactly what it was. One of the boys had
sense enough to call out, GO get your master"
and, without an instant's hesitation, this little
dog, who had never been trained in the art of
lfesaving, plunged into the river and pulled out
the half-drowned boy.

The Senate seemed to have
the same idea. 1t SHE'D away
from the presidential proposal,
although this is an election year
and the senatorial heart has
likewise bled profusely for all
who are voters. Here's why:
Exactly 16 Of those newly
created Federal judgeships are
on the level; the other four are
on the political side. This is
indicated by the fact that the
annual judicial conference of
senior circuit court judges last
September decided the judiciary
needed only 16. The House
upped the number to %. The
Senate thought this was carry

But the British are also quite certain that some
of the sunken ships flying British flags were
running contraband munitions and therefore
simply "got what was coming" to them.
Instead of laundering blindly into the Mediter:
ranean with British men-of-war to levy punish
ment on the rebels, the British are first mend
ing their own fences by proposing to tighten up
regulations concerning registry Of vessels. For
under the present lax British registry rules
many vessels fly British flags operate under
British register, but are owned completely by
foreign nations or foreign companies.
And the British suspect that the loyalist gov
eminent owns many of the British-flag-flying
ships which have been bombed by the rebels.
So being exceedingly cautious and understand
ing so well that prancing around in righteous
Indignation may eventually cost the lives of
100000 Englishmen, the British are first set
ting about making their own position impreg-
nable.
