NLRB STENCIL

The House labor committee
proposal to fumigate the stencil
in the national labor relations
board is of itself stencil.
A quasi-judicial body has
discredited itself by becoming not at
all judicial but biased, prejudiced,
partisan and unfair. How can that
scandal be relieved by creating
two additional vacancies to be filled
by the same authority that appoint
ed the first one?
The proposal on its very face and
of itself admits the charge that the
board is devoted to partisanship
unsatisfactory to all three principal
ly interested parties-employers
and both sides of the divided house
of organized labor. On only one
possible theory can this partisan
ship be reversed-the selection and
appointment of men who can be re-
lied upon in every case, or at least
in majority of cases, to follow a
contrary bias.
This is the very vice of court
packing, jury-rigging and all SINH
lar schemes for paying lip service

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Inner circle master minds con-
tinue to make no progress in per-
suading the President to revive the
billion-dollar spend-lend bill turned
down by congress last summer.
With his ear attuned to the clamor
for economy on Capitol Hill, Roose-
welt has turned his advisers down.
But the confidential economic analy-
sis they have submitted to him is
disquieting.
On the basis of their estimates,
the federal reserve production in
dex, which was around 125 in Janu-
airy, will bog down to 80, or under,
by July. This was the low point it
reached in May, 1888, at the tail

100 PER CENT HOOVER

The political smear artists who
are out to get Chief Oman Hoover
realize that they can't do it on any
legitimate charges of inef1ciency or
ill-boding. The guy is 10G per cent
cop and 100 per cent honest.
But there is always the weapon of
ridicule which is so effective that
a man can be hurt by merely hear
ing his good points mentioned too
much-like Aristides who got him.
self kicked out of Athens partly
because some people got tired of
hearing him called ''The Just" So
they call J. Edgar Hoover 'The
Glamour Boy of the Beaches" That
is based on the following episode in
Miami:
Shortly after the Pendergast
cleanup in Kansas City. the then
attorney general, Frank Murphy,
who is real glamour boy both in
politics and among the gals, made
crack about cleaning up corrup-
ton in American cities.
He was not then on the Supreme
court, and he didn't want to 60 there.
He thought he had an outside
chance of becoming heir-apparent
to the Great White Throne. This
may have had nothing to do with
Attorney General Murphy's proposed
city cleaning crusade, but if Tom
Dewey could become a leading can
didate by cleaning one city, what
couldn't Frank Murphy do by clean
ing ten?
So he ordered Hoover and six G.
Men to Florida and later announced
that he had done so to cleanse
Miami.
That just about ruined Hoover's
effectiveness there because it was
an open warning to crooks in hiding.
1t warmed the ineffable Florida
Senator Pepper into lather. 1t is
true that it isn't any part of the
federal government business to
clean up local self-governments ex-
cept as federal offenses are in
volved. Mr.. Hoover well under
stands this.
Far from crossing wires with
local authorities, he has built up the
best cooperation between state and
federal police that has ever existed.

to principles of democracy and JUS
tice and betraying them at heart.
1t two, or even one, of the new
appointees turn out to be of like
mind with the members who have
smirched and perverted the pur-
poses of the labor act, this proposal
can only keep its shocking injustices
intact or at best make them worse.
And what chance is there that
any number of additional judges
would change this situation? There
remains the philosophy of whatever
reigning influence worded the law.
1t still defends the board it attempt
ed to shield from investigation.
After the boards conviction upon
the facts and at the bar of public
opinion, it is still unwilling freely
to acknowledge its errors and offers
only this futile and tricky clever
little scheme, to calm the public
clamor against it's evils.
1t is difficult to see why Senator
Wagner's opinion is to be greatly
considered in this matter. He did
not originate the labor board. That
was done by NRA in 1888 while he
was abroad. The idea of that board
was for strictly unprejudiced UNI
pire to decide the controversy in
the application of the provisions of
NRA for collective bargaining, in
dependent labor representation and
maximum hours and minimum
wages. Senator Wagner was sug-
gested in 1888 by the NRA admins
traitor and appointed by the Presi-
dent during Wagner's absence in
Europe.
But it was under the senator's
administration that the idea of a
strictly impartial tribunal was
scrapped and the board became a
government pressure bureau to or
ganize industry, not in whatever
form workers might select, but in
particular forms favored by the
board. That new policy is at the
root of the bad repute of NLRB.

voice answered. This is Nina

Linda replaced the telephone.

And why?"
Caroline closed the windows,
now that the odor was gone. Then
she put on her clothes. Quietly the

stairs They were leaving when a
taxicab stopped and Robert climbed
out.

night for two young ladies to go

asked. You're both white. What's
wrong?"

Caroline said. Somebody whom

LINDA SAT up quickly, throw
ing of the blankets, as she detect
ed the sickening scent of perfume
mingled with chloroform which
came to her in engulfng waves.
She knew that perfume, sweet
and sharp even above the chloro-
form. 1t was the same scent that
Nina Nev;ns. the actress, had worn
earlier in Roberts apartment.
But how could Nina gain en-
trance to this room? And why :?
To create a scene because she was
jealous over an imaginary romance
on Roberts part was one thing. To
plan murder was something else.
While she thought, she was
reaching for the cord in the lamp
by the studio couch. When the
room, familiar and comfortable,
came back from the strange dark
ness she ran across the floor to the
windows. There must be air, tons

window which she had left wide
was closed. She whirled, suddenly
afraid that someone was in the
room. Someone strange and fright

explain. The door which led from

was wide open. as though someone
had left in a hurry.
