BY JOHN C. HENRY.

BY JOHN C. HENRY.
William NJ. LeiSerson. chairman of
the National Munition Board. to-
day warned the Senate Labor Com
mittee that the broad labor policy
Of the Federal Government should
not be "chiseled away" by casual
rewriting of the Wagner Act.
Bracketing this law with the
Norris-La Guardia Anti junction
Act and the Railway Labor Act as
. three-way program Of national
labor policy. Mr.. Leiserson declared
they are related, built one upon
another. and together they constitute
one solid structure of congressional
policy for the protection of legal
and property rights of employees"
The basis for the policy" the
witness continued, was laid in 1880
when the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Texas and New
Orleans case upheld the Railway
Labor Act of 1926 and restrained the
railroad company from interfering
with the organization chosen by the
employees to represent them for col
lective bargaining purposes.
Pleads for Lab0r's Rights.
"At time when we are greatly
concerned at the threat to property
rights of employers that is inherent
in the Sitdown strike, should we not
be equally concerned about the
threat to employees property rights
that is inherent in the unfair labor
practice. practices prohibited by the
Labor Relations Act?
Fairness and justice in labor re.
lations cannot be achieved or main-
tanned without regarding the prop
erty rights of employees every bit as
sacred as the property rights of en-
ployers. The three acts of Congress,
Norris-La Guardia, Railway Labor
and Labor Relations, together with
the supporting decisions of the
courts, are designed. take it, to es :.
tablish and MAINTAIN a national la
Dor policy of treating the employees
property rights as equal in sanctity
to the employers property rights.
There are many who are not yet
convinced of the wisdom of the. pol
icy, but if it is to be changed, let the
whole policy be changed and an
other consistent one be substituted
for it.. No good will be accomplished
by changing one of the three laws,
chiseling away portion Of one OF
the integral parts of the policy.

La Guardia Proposes U. 5.
Collect Uniform Taxes

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Mayor FL
orello La Guardia of New York yes
terday suggested uniform tax sys-
tenn, with the Federal Government
serving as the collection agency.
In an address at a forum spon-
sored by the Illinois Tax Commits
sion. he said that where State and
Federal governments overlap in the
taxing field. the State should allow
the Federal Government to collect
the entire tax and then refund to
the State its proportionate share.
He explained. by way of example,
that the Federal Government could
collect a 10 per cent income tax in
the States and. if State had a 3
per cent income levy, then the Gov
ernment would give back to that
State its 3 per cent share of the
collections in the State.
Under such a plan" the Mayor
stated, "all citizens would bear the
same rate and this would eliminate
competition between the States.
I'VE cannot have 48 separate
economies or We'll have greater
chaos than we have today"
He figured income, inheritance
and excise taxes could be handled in
the manner he outlined and con-
tended such a system would avoid
duplication in collection and admin
istration and would involve less ex-
pense.

Matdnuska Coop
Buys Trading Post
And Warehouse
Another Step Is Token
Toward Economic
independence
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PALMER, Alaska, Dec. IA
Americas Matanuska colony, found
ed four years ago as an economic
and social experiment with dis
tressed farm families from the
Middle West, took another step
toward economic independence
yesterday.
The Matanuska Valley Farmers
Cooperative reported the purchase
Of all inventory stock in the colony
trading post and warehouse, which
together do an annual gross busi-
ness of 100000.
May Take Over "Civic Center"
Negotiations were announced un-
der way also for the coop to take
over all units in Palmer's "Civic
Center" The financed
Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corp.
has been the operator since the
colony was founded.
The latest moves followed the
co-op's assumption in July of the
creamery, produce and meat depart
ments. Coop Manager L. c. Stock
declared that I'VE must completely
divorce the project from Govern
ment relief"
II anticipate that it will take five
years more to place this project on
a firm foundation with the proper
volume Of farm produce required to
make the farms elf-supporting and
on paying basis" he said.
Mrs. Ivan Wilson, Matanuska
Weekly editor, commented: "The
farmers do not want relief, but an
opportunity to become independent
and self-supporting"
Stock in Good Condition.
The cooperative developments
came as the settlers optimism was
rising after a snowstorm that threw
a scare into the colony in October.
Livestock was reported in good con-
dltion and one of the mildest win
tiers In many years has prevailed.
Only two or three inches of snow
remains in the fields.
About 40 head of bulls, calves and
old COWS were butchered after the
feed shortage scare of October's
storm, but farmers say it was only
a beneficial herd pruning. The total
estimated crop loss was placed at
only about 3 per cent after crops
which were uncut were grazed over
by livestock.

LIFE WITHOUT FEAR. BY Peter
Fletcher. New York: E. P.
Dutton g. Co.
One of those books about how to
wipe out troublesome traits. Inter-
esting. Authoritative. But it makes
one wonder about the results that
may have been achieved from all
the volumes on the same topic in
the past few years. Good reading
most of them are. Their authors,
like Mr.. Fletcher, are motivated
by sincere desire to aid people.
But has any maladjusted person
ever corrected his difficulties from
having them named in a book?
Titling the inferiority complex, it
is acknowledged, has assisted many
persons into the slough of defeat
who might have had a chance if
they hadn'd discovered that psy-
biologists place the bulk of the
blame on the manner in which par
ents rear children.
Mr.. Fletcher himself holds very
little hopes for the person without
genuine will to overcome his fears.
But from whence comes this desire
the medicos do not seem to explain.
wilt thou be made whole?" Christ
asked the man at the Pool of
Bethesda. And in 1000 years the
students of the mind have gone
little farther.
People react in two ways to their
fears-by running away from life
or by putting up bluff and acting
masterful, says Mr.. Fletcher. But
what is more important than the
two methods of evasions, in the
mind of laynan, is what makes one
type react in one way or the other.
Perhaps the endocrinologists will
some day produce a cause, which
seems necessarily the prelude to
cure. In the meantime, however,
you will probably enjoy Mr.. Flet-
cher's handbook. v. K. G.

time we'll joined with concrete
view of medieval life.
In relating the extraordinary ex-
periences of the boy Arthur, who
was called the Wart because it
rhymed with Art, which was short
for his real name" Mr.. White re-
veals keen ability for wit, a knack
for poking a gentle gibe at English
speech and custom and for artis-
tically INTERVENING a thread Of
Lewis Carrollian nonsense through
the story. He gives you puffy Sir
Ector, the Warts guardian, titled
landholder in the best tradition. He
sketches a downright lovable old
Merlin, self-confessed magician Of
known probity and international
reputation with flrst-class honors
from every European university"
yet who, not infrequently became
muddled in casting his spells. Wart
and the youth Kay are companions
that are boys to the fullest degree.
The Wart, of course, is the central
figure; his dedication" under the
tutelage of Merlin provides the
agendum of the book. Merlin's
methods. allowing that he didn't
muddle his spells, are awe-inspiring
methods involving most unexpected
incidents, people and things. Once
the Wart was conformed into perch
in the castle moat and he learned the
evils of power from a cruel, soured
pike. In the being of badger he
learned from another, sager, badger
of the creation of life. Again, Mer-
Inns wizardry converted him into a
merlin falcon consigned to the castle
news, brought face to face with the
rigorous code of that military clan
of hunting birds.
Even in his normal earthly form
the Wart meets all kinds of uncom-
mon people such as King 'Pellinore,
who is everlastingly abroad with his
horn of fewmets in search of the
Questing Beast; Robin Wood Che
preferred wood" to "Hood") and
his stealthy outlaws; Sir Grummore
Grummursum, who wages vicious,
however bloddless, joust with Pelli-
more. Each succeeding episode Is
more hilariously absorbing than the
one before. THE Sword in the
Stone" is the most successfully "dif-
ferent" effort at entertainment to
appear in many moons. u. s.
A DIARY OF MY TIMES. BY
Georges Bernanos. New York:
Macmillan Co.
The atrocities and injustices he
witnessed in Majorca raised M.
Bernanos' passions to fever heights.
The Spanish situation and European
politics in general have aroused in
him a spirit of protest and denunci-
alton that are expressed in this vol
ume. Probably in the original
French, this expression is most
forceful and impressive. Alas, in
the translation, although one Is sure
of the underlying feeling and the
spirit of the author, the expression
is, much of the time, tedious rather
than arresting. The protest Is lost
in a maze of excess verbiage. The
atrocities are hidedn behind Gallo
philosophizing.
The serious student Of the world
situation will find In this book eye
witness accounts Of the Spanish
revolution that should be valuable
as. source material. He will also
find an expression Of the Mussolnt,
