RUMAN|AN JEWS
DEPR|VED0F VOTE

Order to Cast Ballot
March 2,
by the Associated Press.


BUCHAREST, Jan. 22.-The Ru-
rnanian government tonight published
a new decree requiring all Jews to
prove they are Rumanian citizens,
while the names of all Jews were
struck from Rumanian election lists.
The decree meant Jews will be I'M
able to vote in parliamentary elections
March 2 unless they can prove their
citizenship before that date.
: Newest step in Premier Octavian
Goga's anti-Semitic campaign, the de-
cree ordered Jews to present birth GER
tiflcates at government Offices of their
birthplace within 20 or 80 days. If
born abroad they must submit their
naturalization papers to re-examina-
ton.

take too long to get back on election
lists before the governments anti
Semitic program meets a test at the
polls in March.

Inconveniently close to election
day have come piecemeal reports
and offhand predictions concerning
the U. S. fiscal situation. When
President Roosevelt talks finance
before congress on January 3, he
may ask almost anything. But right
now. as the President busies him
self with budget planning, he can
be guided by facts and forecasts:
Facts: Despite upswinging busi-
ness. the U. S. treasury deficit for
the current year jumped above

pain of discharge for noncompli-
ance. enforced membership in po-
htical clubs disguised as social"
organizations and diversion of WPA
funds for personal use.
Q Indictment in one form or an
other is almost prerequisite for
nomination in Pennsylvania, where
Republican Sen. James J. Davis
(once indicted for running Moose
lottery) and Democratic Gov.
George H. Earle Gndicted for al
legged graft in office) are opposing
each other for the senatorial seat.
Although Pennsylvania tax payers
have good reason to dislike their
Democratic state administration,
observers are wondering whether
the opulent Republican machine has
very much more political prestige.
Reason: The five "angels" of Penn
sylvania Republicanism are Joseph
N. Pew, oil millionaire; Moses l.
Annenberg, Philadelphia newspaper
publisher who has purchased an i'm
mense interest in the party; Ernest
T. Weir of steel fame; Jay Cooke,
rich Philadelphia political leader,
and Joseph N. Grundy, reaction
ary of amazing tenacity. Without
bothering to question the motives of
these men, shrewd politicians never
theless recognize that in 1888 a
quintet of millionaire sponsors is an
unpopular asset for any party.

WASHINGTON - "Unless some
thing is done to curb radicalism in
my section, there is going to be an
awful clash and a lot of people are
going to get hurt"
So spoke Fred w. Frahm, super
intendent of police of the city of De-
troit, Mich. And his statement was
under oath, for he was giving testi-
mony before a committee of the
house of representatives commit
tee charged with exposing to view
the un-American activities of GER
tain groups in this country. 1t was
the statement of a man who is serv-
ing city in an official capacity and
who has gone through 246 sit-down
strikes which he asserted were the
direct result of agitation by the rad
icals to which he referred. He looks
for more in the near future and
added by way of emphasis, that
these communists and radicals do
not want to seek adjustment Of diff
ferences between labor and man.
agement; they want to make trouble
all of the time"
Through a number of weeks, the
house committee before which Mr..
Frahm testified, has been taking tes-
timony, gathering evidence, digging
here and there in its effort to un-
cover the activities of subversive
groups and expose them to public
view.
1t has been the contention of the
chairman, Representative Dies of
Texas and some other members of
the committee, that most of us are
not aware of the unseen and malig-
nant grOwths that are being bred
into our national life. They are out
to destroy our government, to bring
to us the type of thing that has
made Russia famous.
Mr.. Dies is a sincere and honest
legislator, and he is trying to do the
job assigned him, even when sew
eral Of his committee members have
sought to balk his efforts. But there
il much more to be done in the di-
rection of exposing radicaism and
the chiseling, cheating, cowardly ef
forts the agitatorS put forth.

agriculture

One feature of the 1888 farm bill
calls for u. S. loans on crops af-
fected by falling prices. When crops
are sold, loans must be repaid. Due
November l were repayments on
loans covering $4,000, 900 bushels Of
corn. But by mid-October, with corn
selling on the farm from 33 to 38
cents, and at market for "A cents,
disgusted farmers saw they would
be money ahead to default on loans
and give Uncle Sam their corn.
Thus, overnight, the U. S. govern
meut became the worlds largest
corn broker.
This is but one phase Of Chinese
puzzle known as the American farm
problem. Since 1888 it has been the
personal headache of Iowa's Henry
A. Wallace, secretary Of agricul-
ture, who can remember the halcyon
days when all surplus wheat and

The new wage-hour law affecting
the lives Of some 100000 people
engaged in interstate commerce in
dustries, has gone into effect with
much less bluster and coercion than
the Inflated NRA. Placing a floor
(25 cents an hour) under wages, and
a ceiling (44 a week. over hours, the
act brings pay raises to 100000 peo-
pie, with shorter hours for 1,500, 900

smooth inauguration has been Ad-
ministrator Elmer F. Andrews,
whose slow-moving policy has left
many employers puzzled over their
compliance requirements, but has
nevertheless been a potent force in
encouraging peace between govern
ment and business. Since NRA was
outlawed because it attempted to
regulate intrastate as we'll as inter-
state commerce, the administration
hopes each state will formulate its
own fair labor act, thereby making
the national-state program COM
plete. But wage-hour regulation is
due for headaches before its numer-

Texas, where several thousand low
salaried pecan shelters were thrown
out of work, and in Puerto Rico,
where 100, 1000 more workers were
ousted, laborers wondered if low
wages weren't better than none.

Politics

In an organization the size Of
WPA, corruption will creep in re-
gardless of who holds the reins.
Spasmodically pecking away at New
Deal prestige for three years. cor
ruption has again raised its ugly
head at the crucial election time.
In New Jersey. where Fascist-like
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City
is the Democratic party's head man,
indictments have been returned
against 16 corporations and 80 per-
sons. The charge: conspiracy to
defraud WPA of $3.50. 900 in purchase
Of sand and stone.
But a much more distasteful case
has arisen in New Mexico, where
crusading grand jury returned in
dictments against 73 persons
charged with making political cap
ital of WPA. Behind this wicked
picture stands Democratic Sen.
Dennis Chavez, who, like every 9TH
er senator. has wangled every pos.
sible cent of WPA cash for his home
state. New Mexico's indictments
naturally do not touch Senator Cha
vez. but they strike very close to
home. Among indictees are his SIS
ter. his son-in-law and his cousin.
The charge: use Of threat and in

c. I. 0. Being Used as Tool
For Destructive Purposes

There will be much more labor
trouble. You can count on that.
The Communist party representa-
tlveS will never allow the slightest
chance for creating trouble to es-
cape them. They are determined to
convince labor that it cannot trust
the managements, they are en-
couraging the breaking of agree
ments between labor and manage
ment to the end that employers will
have no faith in the leaders of labor,
and they are using the national la
Dor relations board wherever that
can be done to give official voice to
labor troubles. That fact is chiefly
responsible for the position which
the c. l. o. group has taken in op-
position to proposals for revision of
the labor relations act. William
Green and the American Federation
of Labor are urging revision of the
law, but c. l. O., having its tenta-
cles in the labor board, obviously
does not want its grip broken.
1t has been known for long time
that the c. l. o. was being used as
tool for destructive purposes, but
the agitators and emissaries were
sly and careful. They covered their
tracks. Such information as leaked
out was promptly discredited by the
very reds who had done the job
and they discredited any individual
who repeated the story by laughing
at his gullibility.
However, there is one instance
which cannot be denied. The clerks
in the rural electrification admins
tration organized a union and affili-
ated with G. l. o. 1t was to have
social as well as fraternal aspects.
There was a dance scheduled. Ne
gro workers attended and insisted
on inter-racial participation in ev-
erything that was done. They said
they were told to do so by repre-
sentatives of c. l. o. After the
dance was concluded, so partici-
pants have reported, phonograph
record was procured and the bel
lowing notes of The Internation-
ale," communistic anthem, blared
forth
