Bruce Cation in Washington
Dissects the News

WASHINGTON. May 4.-The man
the Republicans nominate for pres
ident this year will borrow spec
tacular leaf from FDR's book. if
plans HOW being pushed by high
party officials are adopted.
In brief. the idea is to have the
nOminee make a hurry-up trip to
Philadelphia immediately after his
nominatio" nd address his accept
ance speech 10 tie delegates as the
grand climax IF the convention,
just as Roosevelt did when he flew
to CHICAGO in 1892
As outlined tentatively. the speech
would be delivered in Franklin
Field the University of PennSyl-
vania's big football stadium in
Philadelphia probably on the final
evening of the convention. In that
way, it is argued. the nominee and
the party would get rousing send
off for the campaign, and the anti
climax usually caused by the long
wait between nomination and ac-
ceptance would be avoided.
Acceptance of the plan depends
chiefly on the reaction of the lead
ing candidates. who are being
sounded out now.
YOU CAN'T TELL JOB

There are 1900 different kinds of

10000 titles are used to describe
them and lots of the titles don t

This appears from a study of the

by the U. S. Employment Service

Vegetables should be prepared
carefully to prevent loss of the many

WAGNER ACT
VICTORY COSTLY
A year ago the New Deal licked
all efforts to modify the Wagner
act. Now it is paying through the
nose for that victory.
Top-heavy though the House
Democratic majority is. that body is
way off the reservation. 1t passed
the Walter-Logan bill with a whoop,
is about TO amend the Wage-hOur
law, and will probably go quite a
way with Congressman Smiths
Wagner act amendments.
Last years house couldn't get any
action on the labor law. All amend
ments were Smothered quietly in
committee. Despite widespread feel
ing that the law at least had a few
quirks that ought to be straighten-
ed out. the administration would
listen to no talk of change.
SO the house got sore. It's sore
ness branched out to executive
agencies in general, and now it's
getting even. And the ironic part of
it all is that if in 1899 the New Deal
had agreed to the Wagner act
amendments which it is now spon-
soring, almost all of its present
troubles would have been averted.

value for men who have had to
forget it in the necessities of

for the honor of our country,
things are being done today which
perhaps people of later time will
not look upon as redounding much
to anybody's honor.
In the thick international murk
of 1910, to look so far ahead as
1914 seems impossible. Yet it will
come, and perhaps one may even
now dare to hope that when it has
come the world will have remem-

The Olympic Games, planned for
Finland this summer. are definitely
off. Even after the war with Rus
Sia was concluded, Finland, with
characteristic gallantry, tried to ar
range the games.
Despite her own suffering. Fin
land might have been able to carry
on. But the condition of a Europe
at war makes the project impossible,
and the Finnish committee has had
to cancel the games definitely and
finally.
So in this year Of 1910 there will
be no White-clad group of keen,
ing in he bright sunshine to take
once more the traditional Olympic
oath:
we swear that We will take part
in the Olympic Games in loyal COM
petition. respecting the regulations
which Govern them and desirouS of
participating in them in the true
spirit of craftsmanship for the hon.
or of our country and for the glory
of sport
Not this year. The keen young
men Of more than half the world
are today engaged in playing a
srimmer game. They have been
told that they are playing this game,
too, for the honor of their countries
However that may be, it is already
clear that for many, many thou
sands of them the prize is not some
gay ribbon or bright medal, but the
dark garland OF death.
1t is because those games are not
to be held this summer and because
that oath is not to be taken by the
young men and young women, that
we have reprinted it above. For
though they have been temporarily
set aside by world intent on
graver matters, those principles
must not be forgotten.
The time will come, some day,
when the world must remember
loyal competition" The time will
come when respecting the regula
tons will not be a sign of weak
ness. but of strength. The time
will come when the true spirit of

nation, however, are being given week
in the theory that better boys today
mean better America tomorrow 1t
is move that every citizen will approve.
In other lands the youth are being

ing trained to lead healthy, independent
lives and to be equipped to take care of
themselves.
The youth of America is entitled to
every chance to succeed in the good old

must be placed on providing the oppor-

mechanical units. was disclosed to-

gram for the 1941 fiscal year. The
Army has on hand 492 light and
medium tanks and combat cars con-
