Ut IS platitude to say that in the United
States the pioneer period is over. the doors
d of our frontier closed once and tor all.
This closing is the end of the threecentury
long Irritation with our country by its people.
Our whole nation - all of our volatile, im-
pressionable, undisciplined American folk
now faces lesson, a new lesson, hard for 1t to
learn: that there is nowhere to go from here
We have come to the end of the American
illusion that it is possible to escape from
dreary and meager daily life simply by crank
ing up the old car and rolling on. leaving our
tin cans scattered around the yard OF the
shack where we slept last night we are faced
with the nexorable fact that we must now
either live with those tin cans - or pick them
up: that we must - if we are to have lite
that is worth living - learn how to create 1t
out of the raw materials within us and around
US, because. by and large, there aren't any
other raw materials to be had.
1t is a crucial, poignant turning point IN
the life of every youth when the tine comes
for him to leave the shelter of the old home
that protected his childhood, and shape INTO
a new home the chaotic raw materials OF his
changed surroundings. The ending of our
pioneer epoch brings our nation to exactly
that poignant, that crucial turning point
that test of character. The closing OF our
frontier means something far more searching
and disconcerting than no more free farms

frontier life - endurance in the face OF mate
rial hardships. 1t is fatal for US to go on ad-
miring that, when the virtue we need terribly
at present is endurance in the face of the
absence of material hardships.
BY our American traditions and standards,
we are armed for a straightforward primitive.
blunderbuss warfare with material difficulties
and dangers; but by the facts of our modern
lives we are threatened by the subtle poison

Cox Aims Death Blow At WPA; New Deals Guard May Be Down
BY BRUCE CAPTION Democrat Washington
 Nov,raGnnufle1nk

Washington, March 23-One of the sharpest blows yet leveled at the New Deals relief system is being swung by man who iron- ically enough, is in a position to swing it because of the one suc- cess which the presidential purge" of last summer had.
 Congressman Edward Eugene Cox of Georgia is the gentleman in question. He has put forward a resolution to investigate WPA from top to bottom, and ultimate aim is nothing less than complete abolition of WPA and retirement of the federal government from the work relief field.
 A Democrat Congressman Cox is a vehemently anti-New Dealer The purge" was not openly aimed at him last year, although he says that undercover attempts were made by the administration to de- feat him. But the one man who was licked by the purge was Congress- man John O'Connor of New York, who as chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee was in a position to obstruct the New Deal legislative program.
 A PURGE
 REBOUNDS
 O'Connor's defeat was the bright spot of the campaign, as far as the New Deal was concerned. His departure meant that chairmanship of the rules committee passed to Congressman Adolph Sabath of Illinois, a New Dealer himself. It looked as if things would be better.
 But Sabath has been unable to control the rules committee. He lacks the force to take the con- mittee over the hurdles; and be- fore long virtual control of the committee had pretty much passed to Edward Eugene Cox, who is it's ranking Democratic member next to Sabath.
 Congressman Clifton Woodrum of Virginia is known as a leader of the economy bloc" in the House. He has resisted efforts to restore to the WPA deficiency bill the $780, 100000 which was cut from it by Congress month ago. Just the other day he charged that hundreds of millions of dollars appropriated by Congress for relief had not been spent for relief at all, and demand ed that WPA render an accounting.
 And Cox's resolution for a WPA investigation specifies that the in- vestigation be performed by the House Appropriations subcommittee which is run by Woodrum. Wood rum, says Cox, is well-balanced, able, industrious and courageous; perhaps 1t is only coincidence that he is almost the last man the White House would enjoy seeing in charge of a probe of WPA.
 SIGHTS
 EXTENSIVE QUIZ
 Cox's resolution provides that a report on this investigation be made at this session of CongreSs-presum- ably, for the guidance of Congress in its determination whether or not to restore that pruned $50, O,000, ,OOO. In reality, however, Cox forsees a continuing investigation which will have to go on after this session ends. He points out that the subcommittee which his resolution names already has the machinery of investigation at its disposal, so that it could swing into action as soon as the resolution was adopted.
 He expects that the subcommittee will subpoena everybody who knows anything about WPA," from Colonel Harrington on down.
 As matter of fact, the ultimate goal in Cox's mind is abolition of WPA. He thinks the government
