BACK OF THE IVA DECISION

The decision of Federal Court of
Appeals, in the so-called IVA case, con-
firms the authority which the Government
has sought to exercise, subject only to a
review of the case by the Supreme Court
:,'".'5 A history of thecase illustrates to
what extent the activity of government
may be delayed through litigation So
far as we are aware no similar condition
exists in any other nation on the globe
That the public utilities of the United
States, with possible rare exceptions, are
on the defensive is not surprising to any
person who is familiar with their practices
and devices in the past few decades
There is little use to relate the sordid
and crooked episodes that have been re-
vealed by many Investigations but it is
worth observing that wherever the utilities
find themselves today, the site is of their
own selection, even if the structure on the
location is not what they expected.

NOISELESS PLANES

Army authorities report the invention
of an effective device for silencing the
roar of airplanes, by Sergeant Frank New
ton of the ordnance department, stationed
at the preside of Monterey, Calf.
A United Press dispatch states that
tests recently made with NewtOn's super
silent exhaust have demonstrated that it
will make the army's largest planes prac-
tically noiseless.
Army officers at the Preside say
that the tests made especially on the motors
of the large bombing planes at Boiling
Field, Washington, have demonstrated
that the new type exhaust in no way af-
fleets the power of the motor.
Airplane as we'll as automobile con-
structgrs who have been present at the
various tests declare the invention marks
one of the greatest advances in autOmOtive
engineering in recent years.
Patents for the exclusive army use of
the exhaust have been taken out by the
adjutant general of the army at Washing
ton.

WHAT WOULD you Dos



The United States is democracy. and the
people are supposed to run it, through their
chosen representatives But just how directly the
influence of the people is felt in Washington and
the various state capitals IS open to debate.
When crises arise the President holds long
and anxious consultations with his official adj
visers; Congress engages in wordy debates; in
dustrialsts. statistcians. college professors and
other experts harangue congressional committees
with their ideas for remedies
In such times. one wonders what the people
think. What would the man on the street do if
he suddenly were placed in power? What does
he think the President ought to do, for instance,
10 cure the recession?
Questions like these make doubly interesting
recent experiment in which a Philadelphia
newspaper undertook to find out what Mr. Aver
age Man would do if ne were President.
Reporters interviewed scores of persons of
every profession and every economic level Their
replies were interesting and iIIuminating-even
more so. perhaps, because some of the suggestions
appeared impracticable.
One man. minor CT o. official. said he
thought state lines ought 10 be wiped out to pre-
sent destructive competition between areas.
5 woman, drug store clerk said she would
see to it that automobile financing charges were
reduced.
A paperhanger thought the cure for the slump
would be to get John l. Lewis and William Green
together and force them to make peace between
the rival labor factions.
One student said he would raise most of the
import duties if he were chief executive.
Another said he believed the President
doesn't know thing" about the real economic
problems and should talk things over more with
business men.
A taxi driver said that if he were President
he would make every employer guarantee living
fer certain number Of years for every worker
siissEaSed s. laboF-saving machinery.
A candy man said he would not allow any
employer % ire an empsOye unless his books
showed without question that ne was losing
money.
Whether any Of these schemes would aid Re
turn to prosperity IS not the question What the
survey shows Is that nearly every citizen has
ideas and very definite enes. about what should
Be done
Whether car democracy functions properly
depends on how closely elected officials listen 70
thOse ideas how carefully they weed the goods
ones from the bad. ard how oonsciensiOusly they
strive TO translate the coed IDEAS into workable
legislation.

The SD. sister ship of the i'll
fated S-4, which was lost off Cape
Hatteras, supposedly, was lost un-
til today when wireless messages
received at Naval Station gave in
formation that the vessel was all
right and was proceeding to Nipe
Bay for naval maneuverS. The
vessel was reported missing Sat
urday and when by nightfall had
not been located it was thought
that she may have gotten off her
course and a call was sent out
for all ships to be on the lookout
for her. The mystery of the miss
ing vessel was cleared up when
the wireless reports were reeeiv-
ed today.

I before the expiration of the ulti- matum-and as suddenly as 1t arose
 It was admitted that Poland had taken extraordinary measures to end the dispute with Lithuania, one which had made normal relations impossible for IS years.
 But the Polish argument is that the dispute, which arose over Po- lands occupation of the Wilma area and was brought to a climax last week when Polish frontier guard was shot dead, was danger to all Europe and that the measures talk en, while extraordinary, actually were calculated to normalize rela- tions and thereby consolidate peace. Remove Citizenship Status
 Even while 1t waited for Lith- uania's reply, the government intro duced in parliament, with request for speedy passage, a bill legaliz- ing the removal of citizenship status for certain categories of citizens. The bill was motivated by the fact that 30,000 Jewish people in Aus tria, enjoy Polish citizenship even ! though some of them never really lived here, and that many are now eager to come to Poland because of the Nazi accession to power.
 Under the bill citizens might be deprived of their rights If they had lived abroad for more than five years, had severed their ties with the home land, or had refused to return to Poland despite a summons from Polish consulates.
