Adolf Hitler wants to reach as many

may speak but an hour and a quar-

Dictates to Typists.
Hitler remained in Berlin to pre-

has two women typists who rate
among the worlds best, at least as
far as writing in German is con-
cerned. Before calling them in Hit

statements.
He then dictates directly to the
typists. He walks up and down, acts
as If facing big crowd, and so ef-
fectively conjures an audience be-
fore his minds eye that he once
said he could foresee exactly how
his listeners would react.
Racing along at terrific pace as
ideas storm in upon him. he gives
the typists merry time of it.
Once he has started debating
usually after midnight-he is not
likely to cease until the speech is
finished. That may mean that the
typists go home after daylight.
There is little revision of the
manuscript.
Changes often consist of important
afterthoughts. A classic example
was his Reichstag speech of jan
uary 80 in which he outlined Ger
many's needs of exports. At the
last moment he introduced the much
quoted sentence, Il, however, be-
lieve in long peace"
Because of possible last-minute
changes no speech is released until
after it is delivered.

and Reichs press chief, DR.. Otto
Dietrich, sits next to him in the
Reichstag.
BY sign language of their own
the two men agree when a de-
parture from the typed manuscript
shall be entered as correction, or
when the Fuehrer merely changes
the phraseology for greater oratori-
cal euphony but prefers to let the
original stand because Of its better
construction.

Extension of the privilege of issu-
ing subpoenas in Labor Board cases
to any agent of the board or to the
United States District Courts on
request Of parties to proceedings
might result in "harassment" Of
individuals or fishing expeditions"
into union affairs. Charles Fahy
general counsel Of the National La
Dor Relations Board. told the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor
today.
Such extension is proposed in the
bill OF Wagner Act amendments in
troduced for the American Fedora
ton of Labor by Senator Walsh,
Democrat. of Massachusetts.
Opposing the suggestion, Mr.. Fahv
told the committee that plainly all
the boards staff members (agents)
should not have unlimited authority
to issue subpoenas. The subpoena
power is one that should be safe
guarded so that its indiscriminate
and. uncontrolled use will not become
source of harassment. The mat
ter requires the supervision of the
board Tin whom the power is now
vested solely.
Records Threatened.
by the same token. the boards
experience shows that the subpoena
power must be guarded against mis-
use by parties to proceedings
The basic danger is in demands
for subpoenas for union records.
Many such applications have been
made and in a substantial number
OF them i has been obvious that the
objective was merely to conduct q
fishing expedition into the internal
affairs of the union for purposes
wholly unrelated to the enforcement
OF the statute or to any defense
under it.
"The information sought had no
pertinence to the issues and the evi-
dent improperly of such requests
and the constant threat of discrimi-
nation implicit in them. illustrates
the danger involved in requiring the
unlimited issuance of subpoenas.
THE board is. sometimes faced
with applications for the issuance OF
hundreds of subpoenas where the
testimony sought is plainly irrele-
vent or immaterial."
Procedure Held Unopposed.
Mr.. Fahy explained that the
board has modified its procedure on
subpoenas to the extent of allowing
limited discretion to regional direc-
tors and trial examiners and has
heard no complaint" on this score.
The N. l.. R. B. counsel also op-
posed proposal of Senator Burke,
Democrat, of Nebraska to prohibit
the board from modifying or set
ting aside one of its own orders at
any time after a petition for en-
forcement or review has been filed.

President Roosevelt told the White

nations children opportunities to
develop leadership.
Reminding the conference dele
gates, gathering in the East Room
Of the White House for his address,
that In his message to Mussolini and
Hitler 10 days ago he had stated
that he refused to believe that the
world is, Of necessity, a prisoner of
destiny" the President said:
I'm providing for the health and
education Of children, for the forma-
tion OF their minds and characters
In ways which are in harmony with
the institutions of a free society.
democracy is training its future
leaders.
The safety of democracy there
fore depends upon the widespread
diffusion of opportunities for de-
veloping those qualities of mind and
character which are essential to
leadership in our modern age.
Further, democracy is concerned
not only with preparation for lead
ershlp, but also with preparation for
the discharge of the duties of citi-
zenshlp in the determination of
general policies and the selection of
those persons who are to be intrusted
with special duties"
Measurement of Democracies.
Beyond this democracy must in
culcate in its children capacities
Tor living and assure opportunities
for the fulf1llment of those capaci-
ties" the President continued. "The
success of democratic institutions
is measured not by extent of terri
tory, financial power, machines or
ornaments but by the desires. the
hopes and the deep-lying satisfac-
tlon OF the individual men, wom-
en- and children who make up its
citizenship"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that only
a beginning has been made in af-
tordlng security to American chill
dren. reminding the delegates, "All
the lectures on nutrition will avail
nothing unless there is food for a
child to eat; a law for compulsory
school attendance is one thing, and
a chance to go to school is another" {"

said, that a happy child should
