Members of the House District
Committee who gathered In special
session today to pay a farewell
tribute to Representative Kennedy,
Democrat, of Maryland heard their
job of representing the disfranchised
residents here described as thank
less one that sometimes helped to
serve as a guillotine for their po-
litical lives.
The most critical condemnation OF
the penalty for service on the Dis
trict Committee came from Repre-
sentatives Nichols, Democrat, OF Ok
lahoma and Bolles, Republican, OF
Wisconsin.
In the first place, Mr.. Nichols said
members of the House look on serv-
ice on the District Committee as a
"thankless job" And secondly, he
added, members Of the committee
ARE often subjected to severe criti-
cism-sometimes vitriolic-by both
the citizens OF Washington and the
local newspapers"
Like an echo, Representative
Bolles declared:
You're penalized for being a
member of this committee. Nobody
back home cares a rap what you do
on this committee"
The only member who disagreed
with Mr.. Nichols and Mr.. Bodies
was Representative D'Alesandro,
Democrat, Of Maryland. Il don't

would meet the eye Of a stroller
down Fifth avenue from Central

On both sides Of the avenue every
plate glass window is gone and
about every third or fourth store
building is disembowled.

Now. still in New York, go down

dingy building is mass Of broken

subway station is closed to trains,
but up to 10000 residents Of New
York's Lower East Side sleep there

chargeable to the funds built up
by premiums of policyholders. For
instance, if pilot dies in plane
crash, his insurance would not be
paid out of the fund contributed to
by policyholders, but would be paid
out of certain public funds.
United States Government life
insurance generally now is self
sustaining and if this Government
should keep out of war, it is likely
also that the new national service
life insurance also would be self
sustaining.
The Government loss on the old
original war risk insurance of the
World War was tremendous. The
gross amount of claims awarded
under war risk insurance amounted
to S2266,00O 900, while premiums
paid by policyholders ran to only
about s454 900 900, leaving a net loss
to the Government of about $1,80O,-
100000
When the war risk insurance
was changed over, however, into
United States Government life in
surance it became a mutual insur-
ance system, under which the Gov
eminent takes care of claims result
ing from the extra hazards due to
military service.
Debt Moratorium Bill.
The debt moratorium bill passed
by the Senate yesterday is a mod
erniZed version of the old World
War relief act for soldiers and sail
ors, which had been re-enacted in
the selective service bill. The old
law has brought up 70 date and in
creased the scope of protection to
many more men in the service.
The new version, in the Senate
bill, almost identical with the meas
ure reported out by the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee, would assist
conscripts and other members of the
armed forces who are unable be-

meet their financial obligations on

ment buying and other debts.
The measure provides that de-
pendents occupying dwellings rent
ing for $50 month or less may not
be evicted and real or personal
property being purchased on the
installment plan may not be re-
possessed without a specific court
order.
Courts Given Wide Authority.
The courts are given wide au-
thority to make equitable settlements
or to stay proceedings entirely unit
the service man gets back home
Plaintiffs claiming default judg-
ments must make affidavits showing
whether the defendant is in service
If he is, the court will appoint ar
attorney to represent him, and the
man himself may reopen the case
anytime within 80 days after his
service ends.
A court order likewise would be
needed before property of men in
service could be sold for taxes
Homesteaders and holders of minera
leases would forfeit no rights by
their absence or inability to perform
required work on the property.
The Government would guarantee
premiums on life insurance up to
81, 900 If men in service were unable
to pay. Within one year after leav.
ing service the men might pay ur
the overdue premiums, with interest
and then resume regular payments
If they failed to do this, the policy
would lapse and the Government
would pay the premiums it guar.

third 81 per cent? of all refugees
from Germany were Christians, a
lower proportion than in the pre-
vious years.
Answering the fears of some
people that even this handful of
emigrants may further aggra-
vate the mountainous unemploy-
ment problem in the United States,
the Quakers point out:
every human being is a con-
sumer. He eats; he wears clothes;
he requires a place to live.
every immigrant who comes to
America is as much consumer as
anyone else, and his wants have
to be supplied by American bust
nesses and factories This is
especially true of the women and
children among the refugees. Per-
haps about a third of them will
become wage earners."
Thus of the net gain of $4,000
Germans in the past six years,
about 5000 will become or have
become wage earners in the United
States. When this 5000 is con-
trasted with the 100000 unem-
ployed, one sees what an infinitesi-
NAL effect such immigration really
has on the job market. The 5000
might have gone elsewhere and
still the overwhelming number of
American citizens unemployed
through no fault of their own
would be not one step nearer jobs.
England's Experience
But far from decreasing the
number Of jobs available, the
Quaker organization points out
that the German emigration may
INCREASE the number of jobs
available here, as it has actually
already done in England.

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
The Days End

I need so much the quiet of your
love
After the days loud strife;
I need your calm all other things
above
After the stress Of life.
I crave the haven that in your dear
heart lies
After all toll is done;
I need the star-shine of your
heavenly eyes
After the days great sun!
I need your compassion in all I do,
To comfort me every day
I long to see you always true,
At work or when you play.
Man looks to woman for his rest
Work does not seem to tire,
For then he feels he's indeed
blest,
When she looks after his every
desire.
It is the goal Of a mans day
When at home, to relax and see
His labor Of love, light a brilliant
ray
Aroand his family tree.
