What was this ugly duckling' doing ill the distinguished stroke seat?
 But his smoothness was what the varsity oarsmen needed. He was fine pace-setter, and his mates. from the number seven man behind him through the engine room in the middle of the boat, to the bow-all took up his beat and propelled the Huskies into sec ond place at Poughkeepsie last June, just few scant feet behind that fine, record breaking Califor- nia eight.
 Things were looking up for Coder. He had won his place in the var sity boat was being counted on to stroke an even finer Washington shell this year. And he was going to stop over in Michigan on the way home and get himself new automobile.
 Then, at Pendleton, Ore, Ia t summer, something went wrong. There was sudden curve. Coder and his new car overturned. He was injured seriously. Paralysis set in from the waist down. This smil- ing, strong backed youth would not be able to row
 Undaunted, he set his heart on recovering And he didn't forget rowing. Often during the early spring afternoons he was helped from an automobile into a wicker chair at the Husky shellhouSe, where he chatted and laughted with his erStWile teammates.
 They nicknamed him the ghost, and when the Huskies rowed | against California here April 20 Coder told them "the ghost would be pulling that ninth oar" for them.
 The Huskies won by virtually two lengths. tH
 They credited the ghost" for the victory.
 Wins Coveted Trophy
 Annually, the rowing senior who is regarded as the most inspira- tional is awarded the Pigott tro- phy. For 20 years seniors, many of them now legendary around the shellhouse, have received the award.
 A few weeks ago at a crew ban quet the oarsmen balloted for the 1940 recipient. Rules were thrown overheard. A senior did not win it.
 Rules or no rules, the trophy went to Coder.
 The smiling youth still hopes to pull a stroke oar before finishing at the University.

The country looks to its statesmen
and to its political leadership to

way and give support to these
practical considerations which now
press so heavily upon us.
C. I. o. Stands for Protection

The Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations stands for no involve
ment In any foreign war. It
stands for the protection of the
youth Of the Nation, including the
members Of your organization. It
stands for the preservation Of civil
liberties. It asks that that pro.
lection and those liberties be &C.
corded every citizen born under
this flag regardless of his color
or his creed or his geographical

You know, we have a brand

favor Of giving that Supreme Court

that we can find out whether or
not we really have as good a Su-

There are at least eight Southern
States that deprive Americans with
out money of the right to vote.
They levy poll taxes against the
poor Negroes and Whites, and they
cannot vote in the elections un-
less they pay their poll tax, ana IN
addition to that, If through a
period of years they have been
SO poor that they could not either
pay or vote. whenever the time
comes when they can pay, they
have to pay for all the defaulting
years in order to vote.
There is not any politician in
this country, there is not a lawyer
or an economist or q sociologist or
an ordinary citizen who does not
understand that these laws and
these poll taxes are levied against
the people of those States in order
to impair their constitutional rights
as native Americans to vote in the
political elections.

and for Americans. The Congress
of Industrial Organizations has a
legislative program. 1t runs to the
questions In which you and every
American are interested. I'm
fortunately, Congress in this ses-
sion Is not taking very much notice
of 1t, or anything else But one of
the first Of the subjects covered in
that program is that the No.
problem Of America Is still the
problem Of 8 to 10 million men and
women who are still without jobs
IN private industry. In spite of the
most intensive acceleration of busi-
ness activity during the last few
months, the huge number of unem-
ployed remains undiminished.
For three years the Congress of
Industrial Organizations through its
leaders has been petitioning the ad-
ministration here in Washington,
including the President of the
United States, to call a national
conference on the question of en-
ployment for Americans. Not huge
town meeting or great convention
but a conference of the distinguished
leaders OF industry, finance, agri-
culture, labor, Government and any
other cross-section of the popula-
tion, to hold clinic on this subject
and to recommend to the Govern
ment and to the American people a
sensible course of procedure to be
followed and a sensible approach
to the question of alleviating unem-
ployment and putting Americans to
work.
The average man must know that
when America goes to work every
other economic, social or political
question which arises from that
fundamentally wrong situation will
fall into its proper slot and classi-
flcation and respond in reasonable
manner to a reasonable treatment.
The questions of taxation, the ques-
tions Of internal income, the ques-
tions Of the budget. and all of the
collateral questions which now con-
front our people would be readily
capable of being solved If there were
Jobs for Americans.
Why Not Hold a Family
Conference on Problems?
Well, why not do something about
1t? I think it is quite true that
there is no one man in America who
has the answer of exactly what to
do. I think it is quite true that if
any one man did have the answer
and did present his plan to the
country. that the country would not
accept 1t. Because they would dis
trust his motives, because they would
not know him. They would say,
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts"
And when that time comes it is time
to call a family conference on a
family problem. If we are all one
great happy family here In our
country. as the President says. why
not hold family conference on that
question and give to Americans the
right to participation in the internal
economy Of this country and the
right Of participation in the in
creased productive efficiency of our
producing machines and q participa-
ton in the natural bounties which
nature and which Providence have
given us here in our own land.
That conference has not been
called. I do not know why. I am
weary of asking. The United
Mine Workers of America in their
