labor vote which, though it helped
elect him district attorney last
year, is still Democratic.
Lehman support: New York state
Democrats, who have controlled the
governorship many years; New
York city Jewry, because Lehman
is Jewish; Tammany lwhat is left
of it), because Tammany bitterly
dislikes Tom Dewey for prosecuting
its favorite son, Jimmy Hines; the
American Labor party, because
Lehman has endorsement of both
A. F. of L. and c. I. o.
Since he must attack his strong
est points, Candidate Dewey's first
blast was against Tammany, which
necessitated dragging Candidate
Lehman into the picture. Uninten-
tionally, said Mr.. Dewey, the gov
ernor is ''the good viii advertising,
the front man and window dressing
for a thoroughly corrupt machine"
Proud of his own anti-crime record,
Governor Lehman answered he was
amazed" that the young district
attorney would abandon" his rack
cts prosecution to enter government
al affairs in which he has mo real

What everyone knows is that Tom
Dewey can have anything he wants
from the Republican party, even the
1910 presidential nomination, if he
wins. That is one reason Franklin
Roosevelt was willing to patch up
his quarrel with Governor Lehman,
who opposed the Supreme court en-

cut effective October /; that caused
protesting rail workers to call a

Upshot of threatened pay cuts and
strikes has been President Roose-
velt's invocation of the 1926 Railway
Labor act, automatically effecting a
60-day truce between employers and
employees: 80 days (until October
27) while fact-finding committee

railroad management Represented
by j. Carter Fort) and railroad la
bor (by Charles M. Hay) began pre-
senting their cases.
Managements claims: Business
is critical, 20 per cent under last
year. Causes are depression, de-
creased traffic, competition from
other forms of transportation, ex-
cessive taxation, restrictive rate
making rules, increased material
prices, low passenger and freight
rates, high wages, burdensome
union rules. About $4,000 rail en-
ployees lost their jobs last year, but
the remainder now earn a higher
average salary ($1,785) than the
average worker.
Labor's claims: Railroads have
top-heavy capital structure and
management is by railroad bank
ers." Average 1887 wage was not
$1,785 but $1,115 computed by
throwing in every man who worked
two months or less, while manage
ment's $1,785 average includes only
men working part of every month"; +.
Wage cuts will solve no problems,
effect no reforms. Only cure is a
comprehensive national plan for
regulation and correlation of all
transportation.
While Justice Stacy's committee
gathers facts, railroad-vs.-lab
opinion is growing throughout the
U. S. Most Americans believe la
Dor should take some cut (though
not necessarily Is per cent? in view
of similar steps taken by other in
dustries. Biggest result of the
squabble has been to focus atten-
ton on the railroads plight, SHOW
ing wage disputes into the back
ground. A moot question is whether
rail labor would not suffer through
the very coordination of transpor-
tation it recommends, since this
would automatically erase duplicat-
ed service, consequently decrease
employment in the rail industry.

Is Hitler Through With
Demands? Is the Question

5. We must not be too confident
about the purity of purpose of those
who guided the affairs of Czecho-
slovakia. The glory that was Czech
oslovakia was stained more, am
afraid, than most of us Americans
know. It is hard to believe all of
the things, all of the methods of op-
preston, charged against the
Czechs. Information concerning
their treatment of the Sudeten Ger
mans in Czechoslovakia was distort-
ed by the Germans. There can be
no doubt of that, because the propa-
ganda machine of DR.. Goebbels was
working overtime. There was
enough leaked through, however, to
show that the Prague government
was guilty of some harshness. It
may have been that the Sudetens,
themselves, brought it on. Of that,
there can be only guess. On the
other hand, we have seen enough of
the pulling and snarling, the sniping
and trickery of other minorities to
have reasonably good idea of what
could have gone on within the con-
fines of Czechoslovakia during its
20 years of life.
What of the settlement? Is Hitler
through with his demands? Are
there other underlying motives and
conditions yet to be dealt with and
outside of the desires of the German
minority to get back to the Reich?
The answers to these questions
explain why I said at the outset that
the peace appeared only for ga
while" The Czechs probably have
been "sold down the river" to save
the continent of Europe. I have no
faith in the man, Hitler; almost as
little faith in Mussolini, the other
dictator. The Czechs are going to
be unhappy long time; they will
be resentful, and maybe they will
start something. Hitler doubtless
still wants the German colonies TAX
en- away by the Versailles treaty. It
would be strange, likewise, if he did
not want "the Polish corridor" re-
stored to Germany. Each ambition
constitutes a fostering sore.
The Ely miner., 1938-10-13
Hitler Plans to Make
Germany Self-Sumcient

Underneath all of the problem,
too, lies Hitler's program to make
Germany self-sufficient, to make the
nation independent of foreign
sources of supply. The Rumanian
oil fields, rich and productive, are
coveted by more than one nation.
England and English oil interests
maintain a rather definite control,
but it is control that can be broken
easily. On the other side of Ruma-
MIA is the dictator, Mussolini, who
displayed the true character of his
soul by his rape of Ethiopia. Put
these things together and draw your
own conclusion, mindful always that
to the north lies a great Russian
bear, governed by an individual with
different concepts, ruled by steel
boot, people who can be fired with
hatred for the Hitler type of govern
ment. Some say even that Stain is
only awaiting an opportunity to jump
astride Hitler's neck. Anyway, just
remember that Stain is over there,
too.
Finally, in Britain and in France,
there are differing groups. Prime
Minister Chamberlain. Daladier.
wonder if two men, especially, with
regard to Chamberlain, ever carried
a greater burden when they went to
meet Hitler; when they were seek
ing to prevent a catastrophe by what
the Czech partisans called, selling
the Czechs down the river?" Politi-
cally, both Chamberlain and Dala-
dier will have to fight for their lives
within their respective nations of
England and France. One or both
may sink into oblivion as a result of
the courage shown. And who knows
what underlying motives existed in
addition to fear of general war?
Their trip to Munich on September
20 was a fateful trip, one which we
in the United States may have to
wait several years fully to under
stand.
And so, the final question is: can
Hitler bring his own people back
from the brink of war, from the fer
vor of war preparation, to the life
and economy of peace? That is
very real problem.

if it were as innocent as it's
claimed, why do they pirate
about the strict rules and regu-

hasn't changed in myriad years,
so why should nudism change it
overnight? They know it won't,
hence their rigorous laws.

I like best of all as have a very
dry skin. Do you think it would
be right for me to give these
gifts back to the ones who gave
them to me and explain that I
cannot use them and let them
give them to someone else or
keep them? DELLA.
No indeed, Della. They tried
to give you something nice and
it would be disappointment to
them to know their gifts were
not just what you liked. Why
let them know? You will find
use for these things in your
guest room or use the creams to
massage your feet, if they are
not the kind you use for facials.
Don't feel too thrifty about it.,
but indulge your feet and legs

can't. Lazy folks are always
jealous. If one is jealous be-
cause of being too lazy to be as
good as he or she can be, then
it can easily be fixed. Easily?

Physically
It's the Bunk

I doubt very much if any
thing you, or I. or anybody else
could say against nudism would
get your husband to change his
mind. When a man knows he's
wrong and pretendS he isn't,
there's nothing short of being
on his death bed that will make
him admit it. However here
are a few observations on the
subject that you may possibly
have overlooked.
Physically, nudiSm is the
bunk. If the good Lord wanted
His people to join in skin
parades He would have provided
them with thick skins or furry
coverings as He did His other
animals to protect them against
the elements. Hence it's not a
natural thing to do.
Morally, it's like a loaded gun
in a baby's hands. Moreover,
it's an offense against all estab-
lished churches, as well as the
laws Of civilized nations. And,

Wages for Wives
Is Explained by
Mrs. Roosevelt
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Famous Authority on Problems
OF LoUe and Marriage
(copyright. 1898, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
A 7 one of her recent press
"A conferences, Mrs. Roose-
welt touched on the question
of an allowance for wives.
She did not call it wages"
but said, in effect, to the
newspaper women that he
housewife who cooke d,
washed, ironed, tended the
babies and did the thousand
and-one other things that
housewives do, should not
find herself without a penny
in her pocket.
This struck responsive
chord in my consciousness.
Thousands Of tragic letters
come to this column from
women who tramp blocks to
save a penny on a loaf of bread,
a pound of beef liver or a head
of cabbage, and never have a
cent to call their own.
Penniless Purse
Gives Inferiority
Such degrading dependence
deprives women of their self
respect. A wife and mother.
burdened with an inferiority
complex-and nothing can give
one like a penniless purse-in-
cluding other housewives prob
lens, is likely to handicap her
children. A down -trodden, apollo
getic mother is incapable of
handing on to the children
those qualities that make for
success.
On a recent lecture tour, Mrs.
Roosevelt was interviewed dur
ing a fifteen-minute stop be"
tween planes en- route to ANA
rillo, Texas, on the question OF
"Wages of Wives" She an
swered: "I didn't mean it quite
that way. Women nowadays
have more chance to earn their
own living, and must sacrifice
their earning power to family
responsibilities VIII en- they
marry. We are more than glad
to make this sacrifice, but I
think we should get something
in return for it"
No Money
For Stamps
Unbelievable as it may seem,
I actually get letters from
women who tell me they are
unable to write home because
they haven't pennies for postage
stamps. They do the work of un-
paid servants-Work whic h
would bring from $50 to $50 a
month if it were paid for at
the current wages given to
general servants.
Yet their husbands balk at
giving them a dollar week, or
taking them to movie, where
they could forget for a little
