Bomb Sharks From Air

Madras-(P)- Bombing planes
are to be used to attack man-eat-
ing sharks which have claimed
several human victims off the
coast. The plan is to bomb the
area of water in which the sharks
appear to be lurking. Bombs are
expected to stun the sharks which
will then rise to the surface and
be dispatched by sea fishermen
with harpoons and rifles.

You'd expect it-knowing that Henry

1889 to be "the most car for the money"

is-and more! The fact is, you'd literally
have to pay hundreds of dollars more to
get any other car that can give you per-

anything like the same measure offered

THE GROWING LOVE OF MUSIC

A report by Nkolai Sokoloff, director of the Fed
eral Music Project of the WPA, gives some
startling figures on the work of that project since
its beginning in October, 1885, say 3lI years ago
1t has presented 6,772 compositions of American
composers born or living in this country, Lila
who are living here yet.
Mrs. Florence Kerr, figuring out the audiences,
concludes that no less than $685. 900 persons
have heard the programs or other musical per-
fomances since they starter in 1885, including
1850 orchestra programs.
Unless these figures seem to assume astrOn-
omical proportions,'' DR.. Sokoloff says in his re-
port, it must be remembered that single pro-
gram by the Wisconsin Federal Symphony Or
cheStra last August drew 10000 persons to Mil
waukee park, and a series of symphony programs
in San Francisco averaged 1000 listeners for each
concert Outdoor performances of Savoy opera in
Cincinnati were heard by $4,000 in a two-weeks'
run, and nightly audiences of 1000 are not un-
usual during the summer. A band concert by an
Ohio unit attracted 10000 persons.
"There is evidence of great eagerness for
music on the part of the American people, and this
is attested by the fact that mutitudes go to the
Projects concerts again and again. Many of these
have had the opportunity of hearing living music
for the first time, and it is certain that signif-
cant new audience structure, q body of concert
regulars and music lovers, is in the making"

EQUAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES

|THOSE states which are foremost in industrial
development are the wealthier states which
|have the highest average income for citizens
These states spend more money on public schools
than do poorer states, consequently their boys and
|girS enjoy the best educational opportunities But
unfortunately the poverty of an adjoining state
conditions adversely the educational opportunity
|offered those who later become it's citizens. Fur
|thermore we know that the widest and the most
|unbridgable chasms between individuals or groups
result from inequalities in educational opportunl-
tiles. The very first of democratic nation
is to make freely available to all it's citizens at
every level of experience, equal educational oppor-
tunitieS.
We, in this country, have developed public
schools locally and have been very jealous of local
control of educational policies and standards. We
believe this local control lies at the heart OF IN
dvidual freedom. On the other hand equal educa-
tiona opportunities for the whole nation can come
only from an attempt to equalize the financial re-
sources available to the various states. Our IN
dustries, agriculture commerce fit into mechani-
cal economic organization. What state con-
tributes to the national income and economic prog
ress cannot be governed solely by the incomes or
business activity against which the state may levy
taxes. The financial centers of it's largest con-
Germs may be outside the state. Nor DO the cltl-
zens of one state always continue to reside in that
state. Movements from state to state for work
and business reasons are customary and necessary.
The consequences of inferior educational oppor-
tunties may result in person becoming charge
on state not responsible for the initial cause. 1t
is wise public policy that the Nation should act
to equalize financial responsibility and educational
opportunities.
No more important measure is before Congress
than that of Federal aid for public schools for the
purpose of equalization of educational opportun-
ties for ALL No more productive investment could
be made with public funds for raising the level OF
educational standards raises the level of living for

NATIONAL HEALTH LEGISLATION
RECOMMENDED

IN January President Roosevelt submitted to
Congress message on Health Security relating
progress IN studying national health problems.
When the Social Security Act was drafted it was
deemed wise to defer action in this part Of the
field. Accordingly an Interdepartmenta Commit
tee to Coordinate Health and Welfare Activities
was set up to study and make recommendations.
The Committees recommendations were received
last summer in a National Health Conference con-
slSting Of about 200 men and women. That con-
ference agreed on two basic points: (a) There is
serious need for medical services which is not met
and (b) the growing capacity Of medical science
to prevent or control disease and disability is not
utilized to capacity.
The Committees recommendations utilize the
federal-Statc cooperation principle with the Fed
eral Government taking the initiative. The recon-
mendations dealt with five fields: Expansion Of
the Public Health Service including material and
child care; construction and development Of hos
pitfalls and other organized medical services to meet
community and rural needs adequately; medical
services for the needy; insurance plan for self
supporting persons and their families; protection
against loss of income during partial or perman-
ent disability.
No group knows better than wage carners how
much they could be saved by adequate medical ser
vice and attention at the beginning of disease
Wage earncrS lose IN wages billion year by loss
of work-time through sickness Much Of this could
be prevented or reduced. Health insurance is
therefore, Il provision that would help the great
maj jorty Of our citizens with ma or difficulty.
Serious illness comes to individual only Oc-
fCasiollay but for the individual illness is uupre
dictable III occurrence and costs. Comparatively

OUR INESCAPABLE PROBLEM

TT is the practice of our social order that either
we make what we want OF buy such things from
others who have them to sell. Money is the gen
eral medium of exchange between those who have
and those who want. Persons without income can
no longer get even the neceSSaries of fe-on their
own initiative Since this is social order, every
adult person must have source of income the
basis for Independent living. The most demoral-
lzing thing that can happen to an individual and
his dependents is loss of job. When reflect
that since 1929 the number of persons without
jobs climbed to Is millions, and has never gone
below Z millions and is now approximately II mil
lions, realize the scope of the cataclysm are
living through. Economic dependency brings
spiritual and physical retrogression-the most
disastrous results of unemployment. The only real
cure for unemployment is jobs-jobs in nor
NAL economic institutions.
Relief work, important as it has been, is in
sufficient, for those who need incomes want more
than anything else that feeling of security that
comes from employment that has real degree Of
peTmanence. For that security workers turn to
private industries. Our basic problem is to put
our great credit reserves to use by private indus
try that workers employed will earn incomes
adequate to maintain production of consumers
goods and so stimulate production of durable
goods. Credit, the machinery for production and
work force, are at hand. The President recently
stated that the period of basic reform was over,
as it is unlikely that any change in administration
would repeal any major legislation now in effect, so
far our internal affairs concerned there is
no good reason for delay in business revival.
Labor wants jobs desperately. The unions Of
the American Federation of Labor stand ready to
cooperate with their industries in efficient pro-
duction for the reciprocal advantage of all con-
cerned-lnvestors, management, production staff,
and purchasers
Government can help to get private industries
under way by well-tmed, well-consdered public
projects co-ordinated that stimulus is carried
into private industry. Mere spending is not enough
and is without justification in view of these years
of experience 1t is obvious also that the technical
procedure to control and direct business activity at
capacity, must be determined by public agency
in which Labor, Industry, Commerce. and Agr-
culture are represented with the Government act
ing co-ordinatOr. Such course is only hope
of escape from the successive up and down Of bus-
ness activity that has constituted past experience
so that every individual may be assured oppor-
tunity to living.

FREE BY PROTECTING FREEDOM

(frOm flectrlCal workers JOurnaD
Here is a principle which every
American might well paste into his
hat. AS long as any citizen is unsafe,
every citizen is unsafe. If man can
be separated from his civil rights be-
cause he has mole on his left cheek,
or is red-headed, short or tall, blonde
or brunette, or because of racial pc
culiarity, no citizen has any civil
rights. In those countries that have
waged wholesale destruction and cruel
persecution against citizens, the first
group that were liquidated were labor
unions. The second were the Jews.
The third were the Catholics. In those
countries, justice is but a hollow name.
Even the minor courts, the traffic
courts, are filled with unfairness and
chicanery. Life is nightmare. In the
field of civil rights, men fall or rise
together. There can be no exception
from this principle.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1939-03-23

few individuals OF families can save against such
emergencies for a major illness can absorb family
income over an indefinite period or bankrupt the
family. However, for the nation as whole we
can determine averages and approximate insur-
ance costs, as practically all other industrial coun-
tries have done by health insurance legislation
Now that the President has asked Congress to
consider National Health, we confidently hope for
Federal legislation. In those states where lack Of
medical care and services is most appalling the
main cause is poverty and such states cannot meet
the need without Federal aid The Federal law
must set standards to be followed so that all may
oe assured equal opportunity.

THE MODEST DESIRES OF UTILITIES

NPOkt1SMtN OF the electrical utilities are re-
- ported in the New York Times to demand that
the Federal government make six concessions be-
fore the private and holding companies can be sat
Stied Only two of these are Important sharp
boundary around the IVA and an end to PWA
loans to municipalities.
few facts will show what increase in stand
ards of living among the workers and farmers in
the 'INA region is.
The number of domestic customers in that
valley IS over 100 per cent; and the output of pow
cr nearly 300 per cent since the IVA came in
The cost Of domestic power in that region be-
fore the IVA was 11O per kilowatt hour. Now,
the average paid by domestic customers there is
90 cents per klowatt hour
In Alcorn county and Corinth Alabama, the
domestic rate was formerly 5.37 per'kwh 1t is
now 1 .82 per XVIII. In 1upelo Miss in 1884 it was
71O. Now, it is LIB per XVIII.
Even private companies have cut their do
mcStic rates in the IVA about % per cent, and
their business has increased 80 per cent.
VIII IVA workers and farmers give up this e.?
Or will other workers and farmers give up hope
Of getting PWA loans which will give somewhat
similar rates? Not that anyone has heard Of.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hutchet Out
The Truth
. NO MONEY-NO WELCOME
. CONGRESS TO
INVESTIGATE
o AFL AND WAGNER ACT
. PRESERVE NOT DESTROY

Fellow who has no money in his
jeans isn't usually welcomed with any
great enthusiasm by retail merchants.
The latch string is not for him, to
put it more plainly.
That's what President Roosevelt had
in mind when he told Congress that
merchants and landlords will suffer if
lack of funds forces discharge of WPA
workers on large scale.
Merchants and landlords, in general,
are aware of this fact, reports in busi-
ness and trade publications indicate.
But there are some in every COM
munity who have fallen for the "econ-
omy' propaganda and are not giving
enough thought to the matter en-
phasized by the President.
Organized labor throughout the
nation can help to bring the facts to
their attention.
President wants Congress to vote
$150,000,OO0 more for the WPA.
He says over a million men and
women will have to be discharged by
the relief agency unless the increased
amount is authorized. He estimates
discharge of a million or more persons
would affect some 100000 in all.
Congress, which isn't satisfied with
the working of WPA, balked once be-
fore on the $3.50, 100000 additional ap-
preparation and might do so again.
Looks like it is up to Congress to
see that no drastic cuts are made in
WPA roles, and then make search
ing investigation of WPA to ascertain
the truth of charges against it.
The Cherry Tree believes that would
meet with the approval of the nation.

Panning the American Federation
of Labor is one of the favorite sports
of the intellectuals who write for the
New York "liberal" magazines.
Just now they are having spasms
over the changes in the National La
Dor Relations Act proposed by the
Federation.
They make all sorts of goofy as
sertions, even going to the absurdity
of charging that the A. F. of L.
amendments will destroy the Labor
Act.
They ignore the fact that the Fed
Grafton was largely responsible for
the enactment of the act in the first
place and is interested in seeing it
preserved and improved, not Destroy

some of the intellectuals, when they

Indignation, not spirit of COM
placence, is still called for in regard
to the auto death and injury toll, the
Travellers Insurance Company points
out in it's newest traffic booklet, "Lest
We Forget" Says the booklet:
"The United States enjoyed in 1888
it's second yearly decrease in motor
vehicle fatalities in more than four
decades of automobile transportation
and it's lowest traffic death total since
the depression years of 1882 and 1888.
This record is heartening.
"But the death total remains far
too high. No one can feel any COM
placency about a record which saw
$4,000 human lives sacrificed on the
altar of carelessness."
