nothing else.
The only time I disgraced
myself was, I think, during
the World War. Because of
the strenuous work in the Navy
Department, I was a bit in
arrears on sleep. The tempera-

the neighborhood of a hundred.
There I was sitting on the

The Reason
You must not bang the Navy on
it's academic nose
Or you will have to take in
rhyme what else you'd get
in prose;
For when a Captains dander's
UP his ship is never fleeter
Than are the dancing, prancing
steps of his hendecameter!
Just tell him that he is a boor,
a lout, and shy on brains,
And you will get a lyric lifting
lacing for your pains!
It's tough on us reporters though
who have to write the story
OF how bold Captain Brereton
stepped into fame and glory
BY putting up his naval sword
and taking down his pen
And lighting into critics Of his
cultural acumen!
At any rate, when someone
slammed the Nays lack
of art
Twas Captain Brereton who
took the matter so to heart
That calling his iambics up, he
put them through their PAGES
To cast the foul reflections IN
his critics flaming faces!
And here is printed, word for
word, the verse the Captain
wrote
When ISLANDERS on the state Of
naval culture got his goat!

LABOR is PROVED RIGHT

The ICC has approved plan for remodelline
S434 1888, $50 of the divers and sundry debts OF
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Interest charges
are to be cut $11 ,116,225 per year these debts
and considerable sum in annual charges on debts
of subsidiaries. The holders of these notes anc
bonds are yet to be heard from; and nothing is
done about the debt of S72,771 578 which the B
& O. owes to the Reconstruction Finance Corpor
alton. And by this juggling, it is hoped to stave
off a reorganization under the bankruptcy statute
The scheme cuts the interest charges but il
makes only trifing change in the weight of the
debt Again and again in the involved, intricate
almost ununderstandible "plan," reference is made
to 5O-year bonds. Who, SO years ago. or even IL
years ago, knew anything worth mentioning
about what would happen to the B. & O. by this
time? No one. Then why substitute one series
of bad guesses for another?
The mere announcement proves that railroad
workers were right in insisting that a Is per cent
wage cut would not get the railroads out of the
hole All organized labor, and the President, ant
his emergency board were right, too.

under the bed every night just to make sure that
there is no spy lurking there The business OF
spying is not new. Each nation considers it a
part of it's appointed task to find out just what
is going on in every other nation. Especially when
it comes to the question of military and navel
tivities. Not only so, but industry itself is in
tested with spies. One business is trying to keep
track of what it's competitor is doing. The same
practice prevails in sports, we understand.
The fact that such is going on constantly does
not prevent the recurrence of those occasions when
the country becomes greatly excited We are made
to feel that a vast board of spies have suddenly
descended upon u.s. Yet, perhaps it is well that
we are made conscious of such possibilities. Else
we would cease to be vigilant and allow spies to
work unmolested.
Spying brings out some rather interesting
pecuiarities in people. If spy on another nation
and turn over my own country the secrets l dis

acclaim of my countrymen But if the other
country discovers me am of all people the most
despcable and death becomes to me too merciful.

IN THE news
JOSEPH B. EASTMAN
i = !. !. !. i \ !. ). \ i 4 4 j. i

Joseph B. Eastman has been more
talked about for the last 10 years
than any other man on the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The only time
he has had to take second place in
publicity was when the railroad
unions were trying to keep the favo-
rite writer of the Wall Street Jour
nal off the ICC-and didn't succeed.
And yet, there isn't a man on the COM
mission, or in any other reasonably
prominent place in the government at
Washington, who cares less about pub
licity than "Joe." 1t has been thrust
upon him, literally.
AS the son of New England Pres
byterian clergyman, Joseph Eastman
could be expected to stand by his con-
victions. In the gay days of the
Twenties, when the Wall Street Jour
nal said the railroads were worth $685.
O00,0 100000 and ought to be allowed
returns on that sum, Eastman held
that actual prudent investment should
be the basic factor in all public utility
rates; and with Frank McManamy by
his side, he fought battle after bat
tie on this issue. At least, the two of
them kept the capitalization of the
railroads from being more topheavy
than it is.
AS secretary of the Public Franchise
league of Boston, Eastman came into
close contact with Louis D. Brandeis
which couldn't help leaving it's mark.
AS Coordinator of the Railroads in
1933-34, he gathered and assorted the
information which will be used to
solve the railroad problem if it ever
is solved. He deserves a Ph. D. in
railroad economies; and is-when you
can catch him-one of the most inter
esting men to visit with that can be
found in Washington.

GENERAL MOTORS TO REHIRE
$4,000 MEN IN NOVEMBER

New York City 0LNS).-By the
end Of the first week in November,
General Motors expects to add $4,000
men to it's payrolls. The announce
ment was made by Alfred p. Sloan,
Jr., chairman Of the board of directors,
who also announced pay cuts of sal
aried employees, made last February,
would be rescinded.
"Our new models" said Sloan in his
announcement, "have been well accept
ed. There appears to be greater in
terest than a year ago. This is evil
denced by the attendance at the show
ings of our new cars as well as by the
number of new orders actually re-
ceived.
"Therefore, the corporation feels
justified in increasing its current pro-
duction schedules by revising upwards
the plans made last summer, as well
as in readjusting its general operating
program to a higher level of volume y
100000 Now At Work
Unofficial advices from Detroit in
dicate that about 100000 workers are
employed by General Motors now,
most of them on part time. The aver.
age employment during 1887 was 261,-
977 1t is obvious, therefore, that the
General Motors authorities are not
counting on such a rush as they enter
ed into rather early last year.
Estimates of the additions to the G..
NJ. payrolls must be received with
large caution, since they are, to date,
purely financial estimates; and booms
promised by accounting departments
seldom work out fully in the pay en-
velops. If the $4,000 taken back have
steady work, they may get through
the year about 100000. Full time
employment instead of part time is
figured to yield another S60,0O0,000.
Unemployment Still Serious
"This rehiring of $4,000 workers
mitigates the situation" said Homer
Martin, president of the UAWA; "but
serious unemployment in the automo-
mile and other industries remains.
at still seems that the corporation
will not find itself in position to re-
hire all the men who worked in the
various plants in 1897. These men and
their families will have to remain Oh
WPA and welfare"

A gathering of scientists has just told us that
not only is the 2OO-nch' telescope now being
mounted twice as large as any known before; but
that photography has improved so fast that the
new instrument will give nearly 4 times the in
formation it would have given dozen years ago
Which gives us some sort of measure of progress
in matters which affect us a lot more closely.
Silk without any silkwom is fact and sew

We still talk about the "age Of iron,' but we've
passed it. We are in the age of alloys. The steel
we now make has one or more of half dozen sub

metals; and half of our machine shops would need

Whitney, former president of the New York

that though many of his associates knew OF his

Iup thus:
"The attitude that the Stock Exchange was
more of private club than public institution
and that it's responsibilities were to it's members
rather than to the nation of investors which it
served, has had long history 1t was we'll en-

TIME FOR A CHANGE

No man is allowed to operate railroad loco
motive-though it runs on rails along prede-
termined track, with every conceivable safety de-
vice to prevent accidents without long and
rigorous training, and periodic examinations for
health and capability.
No man can command ship-though it plies
oceans and waterways where the chance of col
lison with another vessel is microscopcaly small
without similar training and examinations to
determine fitness and ability.
No man can fly an airplane-though it's "high-
way is the empty air-Without providing absolute
proof of his competence.
Yet any man can operate automobile down
crowded streets and highways, where the margin
between safe passage and a possible serious acci-
dent is matter of inches no matter how ill-ftted
he is to drive safely.
That fact largely explains our gigantic motor
vehicle accident toll In some states no examina-
tion of any kind is required to obtain driving
license. In others not even license is needed
the most ignorant and incompetent can get behind
the wheel and roar away, endangering everyone
in his path. And in most of those states where
drivers licensing systems have been established
the law is usually inadequate and prevents only
the most obviously incompetent from endanger-
ing the public safety.
Physical nfrmitieS bad vision, defective hear
ing, and, most important of all, psychological
handicaps that make safe driving impossible
these are found in literally millions of people who
are today operating steel juggernauts capable OF
hundred-mile-an- speeds. Well never go fal
toward solving the accident problem until every
state takes the steps necessary to making certain
that no person is given license without providing
proof of reasonable capabty and thorough
knowledge of traffic regulations. We've let the in
capable drive as they pleased-and they've made
our highways shambles.

Where We Hutchet Out
The Truth
o IMPORTANT BUYING
O MORE JOBS
. COMMON SENSE
. POLITICAL SHOUTING

Important buying by the utilities
means more employment.
That's the big thing in the govern
ment-supported move of the large
utility systems to place immediate
orders" for new electrical equipment in
connection with national defense
plans.
More jobs mean more business ac-
tivity, more prosperity for ALL.
Plans for the utilities buying were
announced by the Presidents National
Defense Power Committee following
conferences with utility industry rep
resentatives.
Too bad this move was not made
long ago.
There has been talk of it for years
but little or nothing was done beyond
necessary replacement purchases. In
stead, government and utility officials
wasted time and energy denouncing
each other.
1937-38 depression, after it had run
awhile, made some of the loud mouth
ed ones begin to think bit.
Thinking has brought constructive
action, apparently. Thinking always
gets more constructive results than
abuse, name calling and general hull
abaloo.
A lot Of people have yet to learn
this elementary fact.

War of words between government
and utilities has made the judicial
minded grieve, where it has not made
them laugh in derision.
So much bunk was talked by poll
ticians and business men alike!
Now common sense is beginning to
reassert itself.
One utility leader said the plans
for expansion showed what can be
done when government and industry
sit across the table in cooperation.
Organized labor and employers have
been following this plan for a long
time.
1t has worked. 1t has prevented
industrial strife, led to practical
cooperation between workers and
employers.
1t will work in other. fields, includ-
ing the field of government-industr
relations.
Public utility issue, like many issues,
can best be handled without much bel
lowing from the politicians.
The believing serves to arouse heat,
but gives scant light.
Utility abuses can be corrected by
vigorous but sane action.
Citizens don't have to depend on
Washington, either, for remedy.
State and local action will get re-
suits and will gain in effectiveness as
it gains in experience.
This has been proved again and
again. Local initiative and action
brings relief from all sorts of op-
preston, including utility rate op-
preston.

should subsidize railroads. The governments
