GOV. NICE TALKS
ATTAKOMA C. C,

TAKOMA PARK, Md, April 6.
Governor Harry w. Nice and Sen
ator Willard E. Tydings Stunned
political discussion before the Ia
koma Park Chamber of Com
merce at the Fire Department
Building last night.
In short talk which was
opened with the statement. I am
not going to talk politics because
! am not a candidate for any Of
flee in the world-as yet" Gov
ernor Nice blamed the present
road conditions in Maryland on a
$4,000, 900 deficit in the State road
fund at the time he took office.
However, he said, hundreds Of
miles of new roads have been con-
Structed despite this deficit.
The increase in the State tax
rate was necessitated by the ire
mendouS flood damage of two
years ago and the heavy State re-
lief burden, Governor Nice de-
clared
Senator Tydings in speaking on
national defense said:
THE United States should
have a Navy second to none in
the world or give up the fight.
This decision to construct a
large and powerful Navy for
the defense of the Nation should
not be delayed because it takes
four years to construct battle
shin"

60 it went for the last few hec-
~ tic days before the final
vote. If it wasn't threat of de-
feat in the coming elections, it
was a bride that was offered in
relief loans, public works prof.
ectS and patronage.
Nearly every Senator who
raised an objection to the
measure admitted readily that
other presidents had offered
recognizing bills even more
drastic in some instances than
the present one. They agreed it
was not this that worried them,
but that they had a deep-rooted
distrust of what Mr.. Roosevelt
might attempt to do in admin
istration of the bill.
And then, when citizenS-or-
ganized in groups or morgan
lied, it makes no difference

of the Constitution, to petition
Congress, Mr.. Roosevelt calmly
denounced those citizens as at

HEART DISEASE,
WORRY LINKED

NEW YORK, April 6 Q.N.S0.-
Partial confirmation that there is
a definite relationship between
nervousness and heart disease was
reported today by DR.. George Ed
ward Hall, associate professor of
medical research at the University
of Toronto.
Experimenting with dogs by dis
turbing their nervous systems with
daily injections of acetylcholine So
luton until they died it was found
that "myocardial and coronary
artery damage" had been produced
in the dogs following chronic over
activity of the parasympathetic
nervous system.
The experiments were made, DR..
Hall said, to test previous observa-
lions that high strung, worried
business and professional men are
more susceptible to the coronary
disease than the placid, insenSi-
tive individual"

SWALLOWED Ideals

4 T least score of the Sena-
"A tors who voted for tbs pas
sage of the reorganization bill
did so against their own private
convictions. But being members
of a political machine. having
no desire to become ex-Senators
and with one-third of the Sen
ate up for reelection in Novem-
Der, they went along"
Mr.. Roosevelt instructed his
contact men to turn on full
pressure against wavering Sen
atorS. The Administration drive
was concentrated against less
than IL legislators. One Senator
IN whose State a large PWA
project had been scheduled fol
construction. was told engineers
had been studying the situation
and now the Administration
wasn't quite sure the project
would not have to be abandoned.
Caught between the prospects
OF a howl from constituents who
had been anticipating jobs and
fat Federal contracts, and Ad-
ministration pressure, the Sen
ator salved his conscience and
personal convictions by ex-
pressing a piouS hope the House
would come through" and then
voted for the bill.
Another Senator, who had
had hard time heretofore 90
tanning a relief loan for his
State, was informed that pros
poets had taken a sudden turn
for the better in the last few
days and that, if all went WE'LL"
his requests for the loan might
be granted. "All went we'll"
when he cast his vote among
the "ayes" in favor of the re-
organization bill. Now he is
waiting for the loan.
Yet another Senator, up for
reelection this fall and upon
whom the pressure of the White
House fell most heavily, sat in
the office of colleague a week
before the final vote and casti-
gated the measure in terms un-
printable. But" he added,
what can I do about it?"

Wage Plea
HiLLn1an Asks ROOSe-
UeLt to Press Bill

Sidney Hillman, president of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America, has appealed
to President Roosevelt to press for
wage-hour legislation as a means
of hating widespread pay cuts.
Emerging from the executive Of
flee, the CLIO leader said:
II think Congress will recognize
that wage reductions already have
started and that purchasing power
is being cut down. Unless some.
thing is done, we will again head
into a downward spiral such as we
experienced in 1882"
Hlllman said the Government
must continue spending on
large scale until national income
rises. Events have proven, he de,
clared, that conditions will not
improve quickly through natural
processes.
The Washington times., 1938-04-06
Appeals Defended

A PART from the fact that any
"A one who differs in view
point with the Roosevelt Ad.
ministration is consistently de-
nounced as poSSeSSor of some
base and sinister motive and
guilty of Misrepresentation"
the fact remains that the Con-
stitution gives the right to the
people to appeal directly to their
Representatives.
There are many citizens. who
sincerely believe this country
will suffer harm if Mr.. hoose.
welt puts into effect many of
the powers he seeks to gain in
his bill to reorganize the Gov
eminent. BY kilograms ard let
tiers they petitioned the Congress
"for a redress of grievances"
To Mr.. Roosevelt, hoWe ever,
who will gather unto himself
more centralized powers on top
OF those he has retained from
the first emergency session of
Congress in 1888, this operation
of the democratic process of
government is an attempt to
purchase" the U. S. Senate.
Verify one wonders more and
more whether Mr.. Roosevelt is
interested in any kind of democ-
racy other than his own partic-
ular brands

Army Officers
Bill Approved

A bill, increasing the officer per
sonnet of the Army from 1884 to
1859, was finally approved by
Congress yesterday. The bill will
enable the Army to assign enough
officers to the Air Corps to man
$3.50 planes by the end of next
year.
The Washington times., 1938-04-06
WPA Idea Dropped

THE Executive part of it is
l. most readily discernible in
the decision to drop WPA plans
for housing the country into
prosperity with Treasury funds.
One story is that Federal
Housing Administrator Stewart
Macdonald dashed red-faced
over to the President and said,
Good heavens. if YOU put the
Government into the housing
business you will drive everyone
else out of it." Private builders
cannot possibly compete with.
the Government any more than
private utilities.
Be that as it was, the idea
has been definitely stepped on.
The President has decided such
plans would constitute a change
in Government policy, would
cost more money than he wants
to spend.
The WPAers who eSpoused it
have been content to file the
idea for future reference.
X X
THIS executive decision appar-
Il emily was accompanied BY
q similar decision to keep the
Morgenthau School of Treasury
watchers in the saddle for :
while longer, at least. The gen.
eral inner understanding is
that their opinions will be the
general spending rule until mid
summer by which time the fu-
ture course of business will be
more evident.
The same course was implied
in the Jones victory, which also
was a victory for the Morgen-
THAI school of advisers.

looked up and although he
laughed, she saw something bright

Maisie ;ace Redeemed with hap

They weren't talking about me!
They Jerent!"
Aloud she stammered, "Why, oi
course we can take care of him
Mr.. Emery. We can do it just
fine!"
A model was entering the studio
as Maisis left. She was young and
beautiful and her hands. Maisie
noticed, were white and smooth
as Easter lilies. But Maisie die
not hide her own hands at sight oi

PAIR OF HANDS

1t was a drawing of a pair OF
hands. They weren't young hands.
Nor even pretty. In fact, they
were ugly. They we're wrinkled,
the nails broken, the cuticle
jagged.
Remember that art exhibit I
told you about" asked Mr., Emery.
We'll, I'm going to submit this
along with some other stuff. But
like this best. In fact" redden-
ing slightly. I'm pretty proud of
this"
Yes, SIR" said Maisie, mysti-
fled. All at once her gaze flew to
Mr.. Emery's. Then she knew.
Those were her hands. And Mr..
Emery was proud of them!
"Took you a long time to recog-
nize your own hands," teased Mr..
Emery, smiling into her startled
eyes. Maybe I'm not so good
after ALL"
A lump crowded into Maisie's
throat.
But, Mr.. Emery" she faltered,
Il thought you only drew beautiful
things :"
Mr.. Emery freed her hands from
her apron and took them in his
own. There they lay, tired, work
bitten, Wrinkled.
These are beautiful" said Mr.
Emery huskily, looking down at
her hands. "The most beautiful
hands I think I've ever seen.
There's love and sacrifice and hui
man sympathy written into every
wrinkle. every broken nail, every
poor, swollen joint"
The Washington times., 1938-02-03

Besides, she has a son to sup
port. She needs the work"
Maisie backed away from the
door before they could see her and
when she was safe distance down
the hall she just stood there.
DECIDES TO QUIT
Work? No! Charity! That was
what Mr.. Emery was giving her.
Letting her work for him because
he was sorry for her; because she
was supporting John: because she
needed money and Mr.. Emery was
too kind to let her go.
Maisie fumbled her way down
the hall toward Mr.. Crump's stu
dio. Mr.. Crump was away and
she could be alone there. Then
she could decide what to do.
It didn't take her long. AS she
left Mr.. Crump'S studio, eyes red
but fearless, she heard the click of
high heels and saw the red-haired
girl disappearing down the hall.
Mr.. Emery was alone.
She didn't known how to tell
him she couldn't work for him any
more.
Mr.. Emery was at his drawing
board, looking intently at some
thing which lay in front of him.
He raised his head and smiled as
MaiSie came in.
Just the person 7 wanted to
see," said Mr.. Emery and from his
tone, Maisie knew he was pleased
about something. Come here" he
went on, and motioned her over.
She stood beside him shyly, her
hands instinctively thrust under
her damp apron.
Look" said Mr.. Emery, and
pointed at what lay on the draw
ing board.
