Glass Denounces
DEGRADATION Moue

WASHINGTON-Chairman Car
ter Glass, D., Va. of a senate
banking and currency subcommit-
tee, today bitterly denounced pro-
posals to extend President Roose-
velt's powers to devalue the dollar.
The subcommittee heard Secre-
tary of Treasury Henry Morgen-
THAI, jr., support proposals for ex-
tension of the dollar powers and
the $4,000. 600, 900 st alb / cation
fund both due to expire June 30.
Glass, s2-year-old founder of the
federal reserve system. exhibited
to the committee a neat bundle of
papers.
Il have here" Glass said, his
voice quivering with emotion,
German marks that used to be
worth $4,000, and they're not
worth wiping your nose on today"
Il am unalterably opposed to
giving anyone the right to take US
on this course by devaluing our
currency further" Glass said, wav-
ing the package of bills.

BEHIND The

NEW YORk-There is talk in
the air transport industry that pas
senger fares should be reduced to
increase revenues. But officials of
various air lines say it wouldn' I
do any good. The civil aeronautics
authority is Of the same mind. But
all agree that air mail rates should
be boosted. That can be done UNI
der the McCarran-Lea act passed
by congress last year.
The commission has already
boosted mail rates in cases where
proof was given that better service
was rendered than for value paid.
The commission would do 1t hastily
except that newspapers are howl
ing of the waste of public funds.
However. it's in the offing. That's
why informed interests are ac-
cumulating air transport company
shares.
Brewster - Airplane companies
doing army or navy work must
stand their own expenses for ex-
perimental purposes. To produce
a heavy-bomber model costs about
$3.50, 900. in some cases, as much
as 100000. But when contracts
arc signed this sum is offset de-
spite the fact that payments run
at ten plus cost basis.

Harry the Hop does not suit bust
nessmen generally as commerce secre-
tary. He may win them over, but to
date they are suspicious of him. Re }
liefers are hostile to Pink Harring

Bob Jackson was their choice.
AS to the remainder of the program
as it develops itself, the result re-

But the White House appears to be
inclined to exercise it's own judgment

There are different kinds of in
somnia. One person will fall asleep
soon. after going to bed, and wake
MISUNDERSTANDING wide awake, to
discover it is one-thirty in the morn
ing. There seems no possibility of
any more sleep that night. Then
about three or four he falls asleep
again and wakes again completely,
lnstantly-at seven. But he has the
feeling that his night has not been
restful. The insomnia worries him.
For such person the best treat
ment is the reading lamp and the
book at the side Of the bed. If he
dlsmlsses worry, if he does not try to
court sleep consciously, he will fall
sleepy again over his book and
shorten his waking period.
= Then there is the insomnia who

COMPLETE insomnia, as we
limited at the end of yesterdays ar
ticle, never occurs. Sleep is a neces-
sary function of the body, as neces-
sary as the liver. If the liver is re-
moved, death occurs. If sleep is re-
moved, death is just as inevitable.
Psychologists and psychologists
alike tell us that long, sound sleep
at nights is not necessary for perfect
health.
But there are graduations of in
somnia. For one man the necessary
function of sleep may be fulfilled in
three hours, and the rest Of the night
he is staring wide awake. For an
other, maps all through the "a may
make up quota of six or seven
hours sleep, but most of the night is
wakeful. For practical purposes,
insomnia may be defined as inability
to sleep through the night. And for
all the reassurances of the psychol-
ogists, it is an extremely disagree
able and even alarming symptom.
We like to sleep when all the world
is quiet and asleep-insomnia and
loneliness go hand in hand.
Fear of Insanity
The fear Of insanity is one of the
most depressing features of the an
xiety about insomnia. It is by all
accounts an unfOunded fear.
l have yet to see a patient"
writes physician Of Guys Hospi-
tai, London, "whose mental disorder
could fairly be attributed to sleep
lessness."
