Mrs. Van Zandt Tells
Pen Women of
GermanY's Aims

Speaking on "Germanys Growing
Pains" before the District branch of
the National League of American
Pen Women last night, Mrs. Lydia
van Hogen van Zandt, lecturer and
traveller, who recently visited in
Germany, declared that she found
that country an armed camp, with
capital, labor, industry and agri-
culture all modified to support the
army.
Mrs. van Zandt illustrated her
talk with propaganda maps which,
she explained, are used in German
schools. One of these illustrated
Hitler's plan for the return of Ger
man colonies and other outlined
his plan for uniting all Germany.
The speaker, whose talk followed
the Pen Women's weekly family
night dinner at the Grafton Hotel
said she found it very easy to obtain
information about the program in
Germany, as the Germans are very
proud of what they are doing.
She declared, however, that the
visitor feels sorry for the real Ger
man people because they are domi-
mated by minority group.
Mrs. van Zandt spent six months
IN Central Europe with her husband
Maj. j. Parker van Zandt. who made
an airline survey of that section, and
made three visits to Germany. She
was introduced last night by Mrs.
Gilbert Grosvenor.

Pecan-She||ing Industry
Castigated by Wage Board
BY the Associated Press.

pS tIC hSSOSldecd ASocs
=, The wage-hour administration
coupled a strong denunciation OF
working conditions in the Texas
pecan-shelling industry with rejec-
ton yesterday of request from the
Southern Pecan Smelling Co., San
Antonio, for permission to pay
learners" less than Is cents an hour.
Reporting his findings, Merle D.
Vincent, chief of the exemption sec
ton, said some of the 1000 to 10000
pecan shelters in the San Antonio
area had received as little as $3.50
to $3.50 a week in the past.
Calling this insufficient to meet
the lowest standards of life" he
added:
For years they have been en-
ployed under shocking living and
working conditions. w. P. A.
relief, church aid and private charity
have had to bridge the gap between
their slender earnings and starva-
ton"
while public tax funds have
footed a part of this labor cost"
Mr.. Vincent added. "the industry has
not been depressed or unable to meet
its social and economic responsibility
to the community. On the contrary
1t has been fairly prosperous.
Vincent cited the Southern Pecan
Smelling Co., a partnership headed
by Julius Seligman, as having made
large profits. In recent two-year
period. he said, it's net realization
exceeded $500,000.
During these years the workers
who shelled the pecans that the
Seligman company handled" he said,
continued to be public charge"
