BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
az RODNEY puTcHER.

bath becomes Eugene Cox of
Georgia, even more anti-NeW Deal
than was O'Connor-especially to-
ward administration alliances with
organized labor. Next is Howard
w. Smith of Virginia, whom New
Dealers vainly sought to purge"
this year. J. Bayard Clark of
North Carolina, who was in the
anti-wage hour bill bloc, ranks
next. And then there's none other
than Martin Dies of Texas.
SABBATH, at least theoretically, is
a key man in any event. Tradi-
tionally the House is controlled by
the Speaker-now William B.
Bankhead of Alabama-and the
Majority Leader-now Sam Ray
burn of Texas-and the chairman
of the Rules Committee.
SABBATH was born in what re-
Gently has been Czechoslovakia. in
1866. He is a son OF poor b.
hemian parents, and was brought
to this country at IS; he worked in
a mill, studied law and after prac-
ticing became a municipal Judge
in Chicago. He has represented
the Fifth Illinois congressional
district 80 years and in January
will begin his 18th term.
He is snort, stocky, white-haired,
white-mustached and always
faultlessly dressed. He still speaks
with something of an accent.
Without the force, influence or
personal following of O'Connor, he
nevertheless is popular in the
House. The administration had
hoped Greenwood would take
much of the heavier work off his
shoulders and now will try to see
that one of its more dependable
men is assigned to the committee
to help him.
9 He has actively supported meas
ures for protection of investors,
immigration legislation and relief
and social welfare bills.

MASSAGE IT DAILY

Have you ever seen Il bald
headed man with a loose scalp?"
| asked my barber the last time
| had a haircut.
"No, I never did," he replied
emphatically. "The scalps Of bald
headed men are as tight as a
drub / don't believe a man would
get baldheaded if he would keep
his scalp loose"
If a horse becomes hidebound,
his hair will fall out too. The
thing to do to keep a horses hide
in good condition is to curry it
daily.
One very old lady with a good
head Of hair said he kept it that
way by "masticating" it every
day.

PROTEST OF NAZI SAVAGERY is
REAFFIRMATION OF FAITH
(By BRUCE CATTON)

A significant thing has happened III
American life during the last few days.
For the first time in many years, there has
developed an issue of vast Importance on
which the American people have shown
themselves to be in complete agreement
and have shown themselves also to be very
much in earnest.
The newest Hitler pogrom simply turned
Americas collective stomach. The sponta-
neous, nationwide chorus of indignant pro-
tests that poured forth was a revelation
Here, if nowhere else, was an issue on
which all Americans think and feel as one.
On the surface, perhaps, there is moth
ing so very remarkable about all of this.
After all, no decent people can enjoy the
sight of bully torturing an utterly de-
fenSeleSS victim. A crime against humanity
and against civilization, when it is as easily
recognizable as the one just committed by
the Nszis, certainly ought to draw protests.
Vet that simple stand for ordinary de-
cency and humanity goes to the root of the
whole matter
For this whole fight against dictatorship,
against tyranny, against repression and
RECOMMENDATION in all their forms and for
liberty, democracy and freedom-wEat is
it, at bottom, but fight for ordinar.r de-
cency and humanity?
Those are the first casualties under any
dictatorship. 1t is not decent and humane,
for instance, to deny men the right to speak
and think as they please, to persecute those
whose race or religious convictions differ
from yours, to arrest without warrant and
imprisOn without trial, to substitute force
and reason and to subject men to mental
and emotional straitjackets. Yet every die
tatorship begins with precisely those acts,
committing them under the plea that ne
cesSity cOmpels them.
And the noise that the dictators make
the apparent success that they have won,
often make us forget what their power is
based on: direct and simple offense
against the most elementary principles of
civilized conduct. So We actually get to
the point where we can talk about the
good things which this or that dictator has
done for his people-Oyerlookin the fact
that his whole program is founded on a
profound and unqualified wrong.
This new Hitler pogrom restores the
whole picture to its proper focus. Here the
real meaning of dictatorship-any dicta-
torship-is brought out into the open in
such way that no man can fail to see it
for what it is. If we never realized it be-
fore, now We are compelled to realize that
tyranny means brutal and cOntemptuous
denial of the most fundamental ideals of a
decent and humane society. .fa '.,,:
That is why this spontaneous, nation
wide revulsion against the Nazi excuses is
so significant.
1t reveals that the American character
simply cannot stomach the obscenities or
which any dictatorship must be built. Il
shows that the ultimate defense of our free
dom is something fundamental to the spirit
of all of our people. This protest against
the savagery of the Nazis is reafirmatior
of our faith in the American way of life.

"GIVE THANKS"

The observance of national day of ThanEsglV-

merted, nor have We earned the multitude OF Gods
blessings but they have been the gracious gift OF
loving Heavenly Father. 1t is fitting, therefore,
that in our public services and in our private de-
votions we follow the admOnition of the Apostle:

Have you a plan for your own

you can run your own life in

all, but webbing all over a road

But you will need solitude to
think deeply. If you cannot get it
any other way, have yourself

President Roosevelt for ''contum-
