Work on the refuge began more
than two years ago, shortly after
the tract was acquired from the
Resettlement Administration. From

rected by DR.. L. c. Morley, who is to
be superintendent in charge. DR..

Survey. is credited with promoting

Expansion Of the refuge activities
will be slow, since the administration

Wagner Health Bill!
Hearing 10 Resume
Late This Week
Dr.. Fishbein's Protests
Urge New Approach
To Entire Question

With the hearing on the Wagner
health bill suspended until late this
week, the Senate Education and
Labor Committee has in the record
a recommendation from DR.. Morris
Ffshbein, editor of the American
Medical Association Journal, that
the measure be scrapped and new
approach made to the question Of
Federal aid in promoting health.
The committee, deferring fu'ther
consideration after DR.. Fishbeins
testimony Friday, probably will get
back on this bill Thursday.
The Medical Association leader
said his organization could not ac-
cept the measure as it now stands,
and he did not believe it could be
altered suitably by amendments.
Instead of Federal grants -in-aid
for health promotion in States
matching the funds, he said, Federal
and State funds should be used in
localities where need exists and the
communities cannot provide it.
Questioned by Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York, author of
the bill, DR.. Fishbein urged crea-
ton of Federal agency combining
most of the present health activi-
ties and empowered to pass on re-
quests for Federal grants to be used
In health betterment.
He criticized the operation of
similar plan under the Social Sc
curity Board, however, declaring
Its expenditures for health needs
SHOW more than the usual vast
age" and were-~"not employed with
the greatest efficiency"

Thursday in November instead of
the last Thursday of the month.
In~announcing his plan, the Pres
ident said he was DESTROYS Of rear
ranging the November holiday so
that holidays will be more evenly
spaced" There is Labor day on the
first Monday in September; there
are no national holidays in October;
Thanksgiving day in November and
Christmas day near the end of De-
cember. So, Mr.. Roosevelt said it
seemed better to move Thanksgiv-
ing day a bit forward. His action,
he explained, was taken after. many
business men had urged 1t as a
means Of giving more time for
Christmas shopping. It IS well
known that shoppers do not really
get going on their Christmas buying
until after Thanksgiving day, and
Mr.. Roosevelt said the change
might spread out the usual rush.

the identity Of those business inter-
eSts he had consulted. Some lines
of trade felt that terrific damage
had been done them and their
shouts were angry. Religious groups
have remained silent. as organiza-
tons, but their individual members
have had unpleasant things to say
about the change. Althogether, the
picture seems to show a bad reac-
ton throughout the nation.
Let us look at the thing, however,
from practical STANDPOINT:
Mr.. Roosevelt made his announce
ment without consulting the state
department. IF he had sought adj
vice there, he would have learned
that a presidential proclamation
can be enforced only in the District
Of Columbia and the territories of
the United States. No state needs
pay any attention to a White House
proclamation unless it desires to do
so. Hence, the declaration that
Thanksgiving day shall be Novem-
ber23, 1889, is binding only upon us
folks here in Washington, and those
in Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
There are II states that have laws
fixing Thanksgiving day for the
last Thursday in November of each
year. Their legislatures are not in
session. They will not be called
into session again before the forth
coming Thanksgiving day. Which
day will they celebrate and praise
God for the blessings He has given
them? .-.. &c.,.
There IS no national statute fix
ing the date. It is a traditional
ceremonial day, a day which, to
Americans, means actually the con-
nection between our economic life
and the Almighty Power that guild
ed our nation from its inception, the
link between material things and
religion. IL .@ +
For the reasons of its establish
ment, it strikes me that there ought
not be national law on the sub
ject. It is sacred thing. But my
guess is there will be a law and that
law will say that the last Thurs
day in November shall be set aside
as a national holiday for expression
Of our gratitude. I think such a
law will be passed at the next ses-
sion Of congress. .s
