By YuIe Gift of
| Artificial Lea

Santa Claus dropped an artificial
leg from Washington factory into
the stocking of 56-year-old man in
North Carolina to make this his
happiest Christmas in IA years.
The North Carolinian, tired of
hobbling about on an old wooden
leg that had about worn out, ordered
the new one and had it fitted here
In 1924.
But he suffered reverses in his
business, could not afford to pay for
the new leg and managed to get
along on his old one in his home
town, while the new limb lay on the
factory shelves here.
Finally, his three children got to-
gether this year and decided to make
him Christmas present of the new
leg he had waited for so long.
The children arranged the pay
nent with the artificial limb manu-
lecturers here, j. E. Hanger, Inc,
.nd the company saw to it that
Santa Claus got 1t to North Caro-
lima.
1t was one of dozen or so arti-
hcial legs or arms ordered from them
for Christmas presents this year,
omcials Of the firm said. These were
all shipped out of town, however,
and 20 far as they knew none Of
their products was destined to I'LL
Christmas stockings in Washington.

Discovery Of America
Defended by Debates
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
LONDON.-After heated de-
bate, local grammar school has
decided that the discovery of Amer
lea was good thing.
1t took lot of arguing, however,
to override the debaters of an op-
posing school,
Principal points recited by pro-
ponents of the motion that Amer
lea should never have been dis
covered" we're that America not
only had made no concrete advance
ment in civilization, but had glori-
fed crime and encouraged cheap
manners and magazines
The opposition won its case by
shouting back that America not
only was a great patron of all arts,
but of modern arts as well. Just
to clinch the case, it cited an ex-
ample-Walt Disney.

vandenberg Outlines
Personal Program
For Congress
Wants Relief System
Returned to States,
Social Security Revised
By the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
OF Michigan put forward today his
personal program for the approach
ing Seventy-sixth Congress.
Among his special interests" in
the forthcoming session, Senator
Vandenberg listed in an interview:
Reorganization Of the relief sys-
tenn to provide more relief for less
money by returning administrative
responsibilities to the States"
Revision of the Social Security
Act to eliminate the full reserve
fund provision for old-age benefit
payments. He said he wanted to
eliminate the possibility the re-
serve may reach the nonsensical
total of $4,000, 100000 by 1890"
Elimination of "the last vestige
OF the iniquitous undistributed
profits tax on thrift"
Incentive Taxation"
Reasonable experimentation with
'the new idea of incentive taxation"
to encourage businessmen to try
profit-sharing or other desired pol
icies.
Recapture by Congress of powers
delegated to the President under
various emergency acts.
Keeping the United States out OF
foreign wars.
"If the President asks Congress
to permit him to identify aggressor
nations and apply American sane
tions," the Senator said, "I'll try
to see he doesn't get what he asks
for" Senator Vanderberg is men,
Der OF the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. i
AS a member of the Senate
Finance Committee, too, he said he
was interested in a balanced budget
and pledged himself to vote for all
economy measures which might be
submitted by the administration.
Wants to See Budget Balanced.
I'm anxious to see the budget
balanced before my grandson grows
old and dies" the Senator said.
He agreed with Minoriay Leader
McNary that it was mot the busi-
ness of Congress" to go on record
hSdlll d tlll1u UCl1l 1Ol CllC 1CS4-
dent. If the Senate was asked to
vote on the question, Senator VAN
denberg said, he would oppose a
third term. But he added:
Il certainly won't raise the ques-
ton"
Senator Vandenberg, a member of
the Social Security Boards Ad-
visory Committee, fought last ses-
sion for q smaller reserve for old
age payments. The committee con-
sidered his proposal in its recent
meetings.
Expects Some Reality.
when, two years ago, presented
II heads Of life insurance concerns
who said the reserve required by
the Social Security Act was not
necessary, the exhibit was brushed
aside as an annoyance" he asserted.
But now that the official ad-
ministrative council on social secur-
ity has vindicated by position, I
would expect some decree of reality
to percolate through the situation"
Senator Vandenberg declined to
discuss proposals for revision Of the
Labor Relation Act. Last session,
he suggested its amendment to per-
nit appeal to the Labor Board by
employers embroiled in labor dis
putes.
He concluded by saying Senator
elect Robert Taft, Representative Of
Ohio, would be a good choice for
Republican presidential candidate
tn 1910.
Mr.. Taft recently described Sena-
tor Vandenberg as now in the
lead" in the field of potential candi-
dates.
