A NEW CHAIRMAN

Because of the contemplated expan-
sion of the national defense program, the
advancement of Congressman Andrew
Jackson May of Kentucky to the chair
manship of the military affairs committee
of the House is of more than passing in
terest.
While ne is an advocate of govern
ment economy in general, he also believes
in adequate preparedness, and recently
expressed the opinion that the army and
ylt4 bid fofce, hs well as the navy. should be
strengthened
The military affairs committee has
also HAD chdFger VfTlegislation in the House
pertaining q the Tennessee Valley Al
thority, who e directors have been en-
gagged in long controversy among them
selves. and whose activities have been
widely criticized.
Chairman May will seek authority for
his committee to make a sweeping investi-
CATION of the IVA, which he has charae-
terized as wild. reckless spending ex-
petition. Mr.. May is a Democrat, and
has been member of Congress since
1881.

A TUMoR INSTITUTE

Commenting on the proposal to estab-
lish in Chicago what may be the most
modern facilities for the study and treat
ment of tumors in the world, the New
York Times suggests that this new institu-
ton might well be made sort of clearing
house for cancer research.
The Chicago Tumor Institute will be
made possible through the philanthropy of
a number of the city's wealthy citizens,
and it will be directed by distinguished
committee of experts in various fields Like
similar institutes elsewhere, it viii be de-
voted to the one main purpose of fighting
cancer
1t is the belief of the Times that too
many cancer Institutes duplicate one
another's work, with the result that there
is much threshing of old straw, taking
time and money which might be devoted to
more varied research and experiments
Therefore, it is suggested. that the
Chicago Tumor Institute, besides carrying
out its own program, might perform a
further great service by periodically call
ing together the heads of existing cancer
Institutes and inducing them to agree on
projects which would not conflict with one
another. Such cooperation should hasten
the attainment of the long sought goal

The use Of balloons to provide a sec

developed By the British Air Ministry.
When first advanced. the idea caused con-
siderable amusement among those who
knew anything about the efforts TO use bal
looms for this purpose during the World

Experiments have convinced officials
that the balloon barrage possesses great

AN EDITORS DILEMMA

NORTH Garolihas libel laws seem rea-
sonable enough, as it is said that a news
paper may clear itself of liability if it re-
tracts offending statements within a rea-
sonable time. But it appears that in a
case which has recently arisen retraction
would only make matters worse
Commenting on the candidacy of F.
d. Grist for the United States Senate, the
Greensboro News said the gentlemen
would make IAN elegant dog-catcher."
Mr.. Grist demands a retraction of the
statement, which was highly offensive to
him.
The editor seems willing to do the
right thing. but points out that retracting
would imply that the gentleman would not
make an elegant dog-catcher; in other
words, was not fit to be dog-catcher. And
the News admits that 'there, is nothing
whatever in the public record of this dis
.tingnished citizen that would warrant
such conclusion
So, at last report the News was stand
