Minds and morals of men, are laid
down like beds of coal
By slow processes of generations of
living
Human thinking is translated into
action, not by swift refexes-
But by slow comparisons of mem
ories recalled
In light refracted from past events,
new problems are examined
New batteries Of ideas are set up
From which go currents of thought
throughout the world
Once started thus, ideas can travel
again like lightning.

For New England towns, where men
travelled on foot
Town-meetings could keep up with
progress of events
Changes in property for the next
100 years
Could be controlled by horse-and-
buggy legislatures
But when steam and electricity add
ed power and speed
Outdistancing slow movements of
legal control
Disorder crept apace among institu-
tions of society
For laws were made by minds ac-
customed to slow notion
Which suited owners of newer forms
of property controlling speed
Swift-moving in business matters,
they preferred slower law control
When controls were proposed cor

The owners talked of revolution" "

Find it hard to accept the hard
realities of new era
In which SPEED is being applied:
to commerce, and to WAR
And so, perforce, to relations be-
tween governments.

Here again, new owners of new in
struments of SPEED
Insist that old principles of social
control are obsolete
That modern governments must be
automatic
But this has been said Of every new
facility
For which, later, after testing of
all others
Democratic methods of controls have
been formulated
And are now continuing in develop
ment and use

Every new autocrat-
Gathering into his own hands con-

OF fruits of generations of social
experience and labor
Insists that he has something new
and different
Beyond the understanding of the

But throughout the centuries, auto
Gratis have come and gone
While the people have worked out
the solutions of their own
This is not a new thing, this

$100,o00 Sought
By Central Mission
For Addition
Men Sleeping in Chapel
Pews Emphosize
Dormitory Needs

The Central Union Mission an
nounced yesterday the start of a
campaign to raise funds for the
construction of an addition to pro-
vide more beds for homeless men.
Plans to raise the estimated $780,
900 necessary for the construction
of the proposed wing were made
when the inadequacy of the present
dormitories was revealed by the fact
that 80 to 100 men are sleeping in
the pews of the chapel.
Clifford L. Johnson, formerly as
sociate general secretary of the Y.
M. c. A. here and now president
of the Aderton-J johnson Associates
Of Harrisburg, Pa, has been ap-
pointed director of the Embarrassing
organization.
The two lots on which the pro-
posed wing, the John H. Bennett
Memorial Building, is to be con-
structed are already owned by the
mission. Located Immediately cas-.
of the mission and eXtendin"
through c street to Indiana ave-
nue. NV. the lot were '-o,cl,t
with funds subscribed in 1887
campaign. At that time a1~-ox;-
mately $4,000 was raised
According to mission officers all
records at the mission for housing
and feeding destitute men were
broken last month. An average of
500 free meals day were served.
Preliminary to city-wide funds
solicitation, the board of directors
of the mission is organizing pre-
sales" committee to seek special
gifts for the addition
The mission has never conducted
a campaign for running expenses, as
it is the outpost of help to the des-
titute conducted by the churches,
but it does appeal to the public
whenever buildings must be erected.

moral backwash which follows in

tor Tydings said:
Il said in the beginning that we
were neglecting to prepare for one
of the most serious aspects of our
national defense. the financial front.
That flank is dangerously exposed
and If it remains exposed, the re-
suits may be fatal or tragically
serious in the years that are to
come. We should not delude our
selves with the thought that simply
by passing appropriations for the
increase of the Army, Navy and
air forces. and by taking other
measures to provide ourselves with
an adequate national defense, we
have suitably prepared this country
for the future. Most decidedly we
have not. Most decidedly we shall
not, unless we change our handling
of the financial arrangements of
this Government.
II believe the American people
realize this. They want this de-
tense and they want it quickly, on
every front vulnerable to attack.

doing to make the United States

condition, is not dealt with we
will face all the dire consequences
of such neglect in an utterly in
excusable state of unpreparedness.

"As soon as we have provided the
ways and means of money and the
methods to put the Army, Navy and
air forces in a condition for our
adequate defense at the earliest
possible moment, this Congress, be-
fore it adjourns, should write a tax
bill embodying the policy of pay
as you 60 as nearly as we can and
put our financial defenses in equally
strong condition. We will need this
flnanciay preparedness whether we
go into war or stay out of it.

Stories Of Strange Heroics
By Fighting Morse

By WILLIAM H. sToNEMAN.

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent
LONDON. May 28,-Stories of
strange heroics in the frozen north
continue to Alter down from the
fjords and mountains Of Norway.
None Of them is more heroic than
the one about DR.. Maehre, the viii
lage dentist OF Honningsvaag, a fish.
ing hamlet. northwest of Hammer
fest, and his great naval expedition.
When the German hosts invaded
Norway, DR.. Maehre decided that
something must be done about it,
and quickly. So he got together two
fishing smacks, concealed IS brawny.
well-armed and very eager fisher
men beneath the matches of each.
and set sail looking for the enemy.
The super modern armed German
trawler Malangen, built at the cost
of nearly 100000 reichsmarks
earlier this year, was unlucky enough
to be in the neighborhood. Sudden
ly, two shabby fishing boats came
alongside and even more suddenly 80
friends jumped aboard, fists flying
and revolvers banging. 1t all hap
pened so suddenly that nobody even
had time to touch of the scuttling
bombs with which the trawler was
equipped.
Since then. DR.. Maehre and his
crew have been parading up and
down the fjords looking for more
Germans. They have rechristened
their ship the Honningsvaag, and
DR.. .Maehre, according to a friend
Of ours. who has just arrived from
Hammerfest. has become very un-
bearable indeed.
There are other more gargantuan,
but unconflrmed, stories going
around daily, destined some day to
take their place in a new and greater
era. They tell. for example, of a
peasant sharpshooter who has shot
down II German planes single
handed. Of tiny bands roaming the
mountains, pouncing on the Ger
mans by night, and of an untold
number of fighting peasants EMU
lating their fierce forbears in the
Middle Ages.
Norway may be beaten to a pulp
but the Norwegians apparently don't
know it.

TeIevision Is Held Up
Pending Agreement
On One System
Prompt Action Seen,
However, for District
Experimental Stotion
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.


Television broadcasting on reg
ular commercial basis was put of
for an indefinite period by action of
the Federal Communications Com
mission yesterday.
In a 29-page report the commits
sion left the decision on unification
of the several transmission systems
up to the engineers of the industry.
The commission said, however, that
it would take prompt action on
pending applications for television
broadcast stations on an expert
mental basis. These include sta
ton for Washington, sought by the
National Broadcasting Co.
"As soon as the engineering opin-
ion of the industry is prepared to
approve any one of the competing
systems of broadcasting as the
standard system" the report says,
THE commission will consider the
authorization of full commercializa-
ton"
Agreements Extent Unspecified.
The commission did not indicate
whether it will insist on unanimous
or majority agreement in the in
duStry. There are several systems
of transmission, each of which must
have appropriately designed receiv-
ers to pick up the signal of the
particular transmitter being pro-
NOTED, and sponsors of each insist
theirs is the best.
Previous action of the commission
in suspending its original approval
of limited commercialism caused a
furore in the industry and in Con-
greSs. The step was taken on the
ground that promotional work OF
the Radio Corp. of America in SELL
ing television receivers would freeze
television on R. c. A. standards.
The commission in its current report
hit again at this corporations, when
it said:
''It is obvious that the industry as
a whole does not share the r. c. A.
view of forging ahead regardless of
the untested possibilities of improve
ment on the horizon. It further ap-
pears that the industry was not
prepared to accept Sarnoff's David
Sarnoff, president of r. c. A.
premise of We live on obsolescence
as a basis for justifying a heavy
public investment at current levels
of efficiency"
Patent Interests Involved.
THE positions of the different
companies on this whole problem
| cannot be viewed with total disre-
gard of the patent interests of
competing manufacturers which find
expression in desire to lock the
scientific levels Of the art down
to a single uniform system based
in whole or in part upon such pat
ents," the report says. THE func-
tions of this commission are not
to be usurped and utilized as q
means of monopolizing this i'm
portant industry either through this
or other devices"
The commission has just granted
full commercialization for frequency
modulation broadcasting, the new
system of sound transmission, the
patent rights for which are al
legged to be held by one individual
