BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DR.. Edward A. Rumely, secretary of
the National Committee to Uphold
Constitutional Government, refused
"on advice Of counsel today to fur
nish records demanded by a Senate
committee subpoena.
Appearing before the Lobby Com
mittee. DR.. Rumely said his attorney,

The National Committee to Uphold
Constitutional Government was or
ganized by Frank E. Gannett, Ro-
chester IN. " publisher, in 1887, the
day after President Roosevelt proposed
to reoreanize the Supreme Court. It
opposed Supreme Court reorganization
and is now opposing phases of the ad-
ministration's executive reorganizat ton
bill.
In testimony before the Senate
committee DR.. Rumely said his or
ganization began trying to awaken"
public opinion to resist changes to
personal. one-man government" in
connection with the executive reor-
ganization bill about 10 days after
the Presidents court plan was an
nounced.
Authoritarian Rule in U. S.
At that time, he said, information
came that the court plan was to be
the gate opener for a plan to set up
complete authoritarian rule in the
United States"
DR.. Rumely said his organization
had one set Of mailing lists with
million names on it.
The Lobby Committee, presided
over by Senator Minton, Democrat, of
Indiana, launched its inquiry as the
Senate approached vote on the
sharpest issue in the reorganization
bill-the Wheeler amendment to give
Congress a check on the Presidents
power to abolish or transfer bureaus.

THE HUMAN FACTOR
GOVERNS ACCIDENTS

The entire nation was shocked this
week at the death of score of school
children when the bus in which they
were riding was crushed under the wheels
of a speeding freight train near Salt
Lake City in Utah. 1t was such tragedy
as we can never become accustomed to.
Yet such tragedies will continue to
happen as long as the human element
continues to exist We cannot entirely
prevent them-we can only do our ut
most to guard against them.
AS this was written no definite reason
had been established for the accident.
1t appeared that either the bus driver
or the trains engineer was to blame
and the railroad company absolved its
employe. The bus driver was dead.
What Utah'S laws are regarding school
buses and bus drivers we do not know.
We do know, however. that CALIFORNIA;
laws in this respect have been as success
full as laws can be in avoiding such trag-
edies.
The law can go only so far 1t can
require strict, detailed examination of
all bus drivers and all motorized equip
ment. 1t can require, also, every known
safety device on school buses; and it
can force motorists to stop before pass
ing a parked bus, and trains to whistle
before reaching a crossing, and buses to
stop before crossing any railroad tracks
Beyond those things the law cannot go.
Beyond them lies the human element
and insofar as that can be controlled,
it is in the control only of the person
involved.
Thus the Utah bus driver, if blame for
the accident is his, was the only one
who could have prevented the tragedy.
Thus every driver involved in an acci-
dent is, in the last analysis, the only one
who could prevent it. It would be we'll
for each of us to remember this when
we sit down behind the wheel of an auto
mobile.

ALTOGETHER TOO MUCH
SYMPATHETIC UNDERSTANDING

Edwin S. Smith, member of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, demon
strated the whole Objectionable policy of
his organization in a statement in which
he declared that federal courts lack the
proper Sympathetic understanding" of
employees problems to take jurisdiction
in labor disputes, because the courts are
too much concerned with property rights.
The whip-lash of dictatorial leanings
comes in Mr.. Smiths statement that, ito
permit extensive review of the boards
findings would almost certainly lead to
a serious miscarriage of its purposes"
But perhaps Mr.. Smith is not wrong
at all. 1t all depends upon what the
boards purposes are. If, as many are
prone to believe, the aim of the board is
to bring about gross injustice for industry
as a whole, then certainly the courts
would interfere with that purpose if they
were permitted" to review board find
ings.
This statement of Mr.. Smiths is the
best argument we have ever seen for
amendment of the Wagner Labor Rela-
tions act, under which the board oper-
ates.
We are still enough of old-fashioned
Americans to believe that no one board
or bureau should exercise final, dictator
ial rights over any dispute arising be-
tween two parties. Yet that is what the
labor board does, or attempts to do.
Our courts were set up to prevent such
misuses of the law. Certainly they should
not now be deprived of their primary
right.
What the labor board needs is more
sympathy for justice, and less for radi-
cal labor unions.

DON'T CONDEMN
ALL GERMANS

(Santa Barbara News-Press)
One very vital point not to be over
looked in denunciation of Germany'S per-
Secution of religious races and creeds is
that we as people do not lean backward
to the point we lose our tolerance of the
German race.
This does not mean we should not do
everything in our power to stop such
evils and decry such condition from
every housetop and public place, but let's
be sure we place the blame where it be-
longs rather than on another section of
innocent peoples
A careful reading of the incidents re-
ported from Germany showed violence
ceased as soon as the signal was given
officially from DR.. GOebbelS. This is dir
ect evidence it was not a case of mob
Madness but an organized and directed
assault 1t was the work of uniformed
bodies When the truth comes out of Ger
many it will be found, undoubtedly, the
German people, as such maintained an
attitude of passive disapproval and
furtive compassion for the victims.
AS to Hitler, Goebbels and others of
the high command there is no question
of their injustice and intolerance. The
sins of their prosecutions should rest
heavily on their heads. Never has the
world since August "a, 1572-the St.
Bartholomew Day massacre-seen any
thing quite so inhumane and dreadful,
as what took place recently.
The world it was hoped, had marched
a long way since 1872. Only a madman
could be responsible for such atrocities
today That such measures as causing
neighbors to turn on each other without
open revolt and the overthrow of this
ruling power is a constant puzzling fac
tor.
Citizens of German lineage in United
States are as much appalled, and shocked
such conditions could exist in the Father
land as are all our other citizens and the
citizens of other Christian countries.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-12-02
Famous Sayings

The next session of Congress will
hear much of war and the rumors
of war. 1t will presumably vote
money for further expansion of the
army and navy. 1t will speed up
production of war planes. 1t will do
other things to perfect the nations
military preparedness.
And it may, just possibly, get
around to taking vote on the
Ludlow anti-war amendment.
This IS the proposal which would
make it impossible for the United
States government to declare war
except in case of invasion of AM
erican soil-without first obtaining
the approval of the people through
a nationwide referendum vote.
1t ought to make firSt-rate
trailer to the preparedness omnibus.
There cannot be any question that
the people of the United States,
supporting a strong rearmament
program, are thinking solely of self
defense. Events overseas have con-
vinced even the blindest, by now,
that this world of today is no place
for an unarmed innocent. A great
nation has great responsibilities, and
responsibilities cannot be met now
adays unless there is force to back
them.
But the American people, who are
putting up enormous sums to make
such force available, have a pretty
clear notion what they intend to
do with it. They don't propose to
intervene in European wars or to
fight for any but their own vital
domestic interests. They want to
stay at home and mind their own
business, secure in the knowledge

Bruce Cation Says
- Democracy Means Voting on War or Peace

that no power on earth can inter
fere with them in that pursuit.
And passage of the Ludlow pro-
posal would be an excellent means
of insuring that their new arma-
ments would be used for that pur-
pose-and no other.
It is little hard to take some
of the arguments against this meas
ure seriously. 1t is urged for in
stance, that such law would tie
the hands of Americas statesmen
and rigidly restrict them in their
conduct of foreign affairs. And
that, to be sure, is true-and it's
one of the big reasons why so many
people think this is a good idea.
If restricting the statesmen helps
to keep the country out of war, so
much the better.
Then there is the argument that
the delicate matters of statecraft
involved in a possible declaration of
war are not things that the masses
can properly decide on in general
election. Yet the very theory OF
democracy is that the people have
the right to make their own deci-
sions: and it is a trifle hard to think
of any decision of greater conse-
ouence than the decision for war
or peace. If the people are not
competent to decide such an issue
for themselves, what on earth are
they competent to pass on?
America wants to be able to de-
fend herself against anybody-but
she also wants to keep out of war
if it is humanly possible. Adding
the Ludlow bill to the preparedness
measures ought to be a good way of
achieving both ends.
