And What
They Do
BokeIite Inventor
Fervid Apostle Of
Human Spirit
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Pity the poor proofreader In
times like these. There is always q
suspicion that this name of Polish
town has been bombed into a pi-
line by the Germans. But, in the
past, they have herded tougher words
than any Of these into the news COR
ral-and here's a peacetime word
quite possibly denoting something
more important In the long pull of
history than the immediate news
from Poland. 1t is oxybensylmeth-
ylenglycolanhyedride. Try that on
your cement mixer.
That was what young DR.. L. H.
Baekeland got in 1908, after four
years of hard work in his laboratory.
1t was the first phenolic plastic, the
start of all this "bakelite" alchemy
which, with similar wonder working
in the allied field of synthetic resins,
is showing industry, notably auto
mobile manufacturing and electrical
appliances, faster into the world of
tomorrow than Adolf Hitler has
dragged it into yesterday. The news
today, just note In the back-page
dustbin, is that the Union Carbide
& Carbon Corp. Is taking over the
Bakelite Corp, founded by DR..
Baekeland in 1910. Other lesser
deals are on. The Transforming
processes of synthetic resins are
being articulated and modified.
Scientists see in all this a sweeping
advance in the industrial arts.
This department, as noted the
other day, will try to pick from the
news the builders, rather than the
destroyers-creative intelligence VS..
doom. DR.. Baekeland's is banner
name. He himself stated the issue
in 1924.
Science" he said. "wars against
waste, disease, poverty, misery, sor-
row, narrow mindedness "a war
against ignorance, which breeds all
these calamities."
At rs, he is still unf1agging, a fer
vid apostle of the humane spirit,
unfaltering in his faith that intelli-
gence will triumph over stupidity
and savagery. But he climbs no ivory
towers. He says, I'VE suffer as much
from knowledge without ideals as
from ideals without knowledge" He
would team the two.
Born in Client. Belgium. he was
educated at the Municipal Technical
School and was laureate of four uni
versities before coming here in 1889
as a research chemist. In 1921 he
became professor of chemical engi-
neering at Columbia University. He
was president of the American
Chemical Society in 1924 and has
been the recipient of the highest
honors in his profession.

Claiming Stepdaughter, 7,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 5.-A
neighbor had Ross Hale, %, arrested
here last night and charged with
claiming his 2-year-old stepdaugh-
ter to the kitchen wall
Deputy L. D. Borum said he ar
rested Hale at his home and de-
clared he found a chain and collar
which Mrs. Hale told him were used
to keep the child from running away.
The deputy said he examined the
girl, who was asleep in bed, but
found no marks on her neck.
Mrs. Ivy Gilbert swore out a war
rant charging Hale with assault and
battery against the child, Myrtle
Lorraine Martin.
He beat the child numerically
with pieces of kindling and chained
her up to nail on the kitchen
wall by dog collar around her
neck so her toes could just touch
the floor" Deputy Borum said Mrs,
Gilbert told him.
The officer asserted Hale denied
the charge and claimed: Il don't

The Political Mill
RooseveIt's Radio Neutrality Plea
Unlikely to Alter American Opinion

Of 1935-1937 were of the statute
books the United States would have
far freer hand in meeting any sit
uatlon that may arise today. There
seems no slightest doubt about that.
Only an act of Congress, however,
can bring about a change.
This Is the tough neutrality nut
which the legislators may be called
upon to tackle before long. With
sentiment mounting in this country
Tor the British and the French and
the Poles-as undoubtedly it is
mounting-the amendment or repeal
OF the Neutrality Act and its en-
barge may be put through Congress
In quick time. Behind the undouhted
sentiment in America favorable to
the old allies against Germany lies
also a mounting desire on the part
OF those who wish to sell arms and
munitions and other goods to the
warning nations.
President Roosevelt strongly de-
nounced any prof1teering on the
part of American producers or mer-
chants, at the expense either of
American citizens or those citizens
OF nations at war. 1t may take
something far stronger than denun-
citation, however, to curb the war
prof1teers. 1t did in the last war
and the curb was not applied until
after prices had scared to tremen-
dous levels. American farmers were
feeding the allied nations in Europe
IN those days. as well as the Amer
ican people. Between the great rise
in prices and the encouragement
which the farmers received from
this Government to increase pro-
duction came a land boom in the
West and Middle West from which
the country suffered-and continues
to suffer-years after the close of
that war.
How far this country can avoid
the mistakes which were made dur
ing the World. War - mistakes in
dealing with economic as well as po-
htical and military problems-re-
mains to be seen. At least the rec
ord is there for the American people
and the American Government to
read.
The Presidents radio address, on
its surface, gives the British and
the French no occasion to cheer. He
announced purpose to keep this
country out of the conflict-when
many Of the British and the French
would have liked to hear a bitter
denunciation of the Hitler govern
ment with an implied promise to
back up the allies. But the tenor
OF his address. when it is scrutinized
carefully, leaves distinct impress
sion that this country will at least
give the allies the much needed
supplies they require. Furthermore,
the President said in so many words
that devastating war in Europe
had been forced by German inva-
sion OF Poland. In effect, he named
the aggressor nation against which
public sentiment will arise.
In this country the President
pleaded that partisanship and self
lshness be adjourned and that the
American people show a united
front. with the national interest at
all times uppermost. There may be
and undoubtedly will be varying
opinions as to the proper foreign
policy for this country to pursue.
Who Is selfish and who is partisan
Will depend upon the point of view.
There is no doubt, however, that
the greatest common good can be
achieved from unity when a wise
policy is advanced.

were American citizens, followed
almost Immediately the Presidents
declaration. If the Germans COM
NIT such outrages, it will not take
long to turn this country from a
neutral into an active participant in
this new war which has been thrust
upon the world by Hitler.
1t was clear from the Presidents
address that his sympathies are dis
tinctly aligned with France and
Britain and Poland in the present
struggle-although he proclaimed
himself a neutral. The President
further said that he did not expect
the people-that he could not ask
the American people-to remain
neutral in thought.
The President has said that this
country, however, will remain neu-
tral. The Germans must know that
whether the United States continues
neutral will depend largely upon
their own actions. Unless they are
entirely unmindful of what hap
pened in the last war, they must re-
alize that.
Neutrality Laws Objectives.
This country at present has a
series OF neutrality laws, passed by
Congress in an attempt to make 1t
easier for America to remain outside
of foreign war. In the main, these
laws direct the President to place
an embargo on the shipment Of
arms and munitions to foreign ma
tions at war; they undertake to place
personal responsibility on Americans
who put themselves in Jeopardy or
their possessions in such jeopardy
after war has broken out It is not
going to be easy, however, to re-
strain this country if the Germans
destroy American lives on defense
less ships, neutrality laws or no laws.
Without making specific reference
to the proposal which he advanced
to Congress at its last session re-
garding the neutrality laws, the
President in his radio address said:
Il trust that in the days to come
our neutrality can be made a true
neutrality" This has been inter-
preted as meaning he will propose
again that Congress repeal the
mandatory embargo against the sale
to warning nations of arms and
munitions - accompanied perhaps
with a provision that the nation
making the purchases must acquire
title to these arms and munitions
before they leave American shores
and must take them away in ships
other than American ships.
The repeal of the embargo would
necessarily have the effect of per-
mitting the sale of arms and mu-
nitions to France and Great Britain
If they control the seas as they
did in the last war. Under such
circumstances it would be impossible
for the Germans to make purchases
of any goods in this country
whether arms or food. Not to repeal
the embargo plays into the hands of
Mr.. Hitler; to repeal it means as
sistance to France and England.
Depending upon the sympathies,
any action or lack of action by the
United States to repeal or revise
the neutrality laws will be considered
unneutral, now that war Is actually
under way. If these neutrality laws
