THE Tennessee valley is one of
the vital national defense areas Of
the country" he continued. Its geo.
graphical location, it's resources in
necessary war materials, its muni-

largely increased supply Of electric

Turning from the rivers role in

presidential nomination.
A utilities executive, lawyer and
Indiana corn-and-hog farmer, Will

can but two years. He supported
President Roosevelt and the DEM
ocratic ticket in 1882 and remained
favorably disposed to the new deal
TO- some years thereafter.
Coming finally to fundamental
differences with it, he expressed
his criticism of the administration
and his W approach to problems
of governments in these two major
points:
l.. That such social and economic
reforms as are necessary" includ-
ing government regulation OF busl'
ness, should be accomplished by
flaws expressly stating detectives
and methods and not by commls-
sion regulations"
2. That these reforms should be
enforced by a government friend

ably won't be time to get action
on the Smith amendments. If the
session is extended, however, in
dications now are that the Senate
may act favorably.
Should the amendments become
law, both the board and the Wag-
ner act would be entirely different.
First, there would be a brand-new
board of five members. Second,
and far more important,
the boards judicial and p~rosecut-
ing functions would be completely
divorced, with an administrator
handling the latter and the board
confined to passing on the evidence
submitted by him.
Close friends of the board COM
plain that these changes would
emasculate the whole act. W. IN

that by refusing to heed criticism,
by steering unskillfully through the

GUILTY." But this judg-
ment Of the court was a mere matter
OF form. Cyrus Godfrey had really
entered a plea of guilty at the
very start. What he asked of the
court was probation, a chance to
escape the usual trip ''up the river"
This startling case is known
today as mercy homicide" a sub
Ject that has undergone a world
wide discussion, both pro and con.
In disposing of Godfrey, the
court said: ut is a certainty that
most people would agree that carte
blanche justification of this type
OF homicide would be exceedingly
dangerous to society,""
And here are the courts final
words: with one so obsessed with
the love of his own child that he
himself would lay down his own
life with his, it can scarcely be said
that he was devoid of the sensi-
bllities of life, or that he was Dos
sessed OF genuine criminalinstincts."
The sentence Of the court is
that the defendant be committed
to an institution for five years, but
that the sentence be suspended and
the defendant be placed on proba-
ton for that length of time"
1t was a loss for mercy homi-
eide" but a win for the man. Cyrus
Godfrey.
This is taken from a true case.

Behind The Scenes In
Washington
The News Washington
CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, - Barring early
adjournment of Congress chances
are good that the sweeping Wagner
act revisions voted by the House
of Representatives will become
law.
Until recently, friends of the
Labor Board assumed it didn't
matter much what the House did
. . that the Senate firmly in con-
troll of the administration would
block any really hostil action.
Then the picture changed.
Outstanding element in the
change was the letter sent to
Chairman Howard Smith of the
Labor Board Investigating Com
mittee by President William Green
of the A. F. of L. in which Green
gave his support to the Smith
amendments.
BY taking this stand Green not
only stole a long march on the c.
l. O., but also served notice on
A. F. of. L. friends in both houses
that he was in effect abandoning
the Labor Board to its fate.
THEN CAME
REINFORCEMENT
Another element was the strange
apathy in the administration. Until
very recently the administration
was firmly set on blocking any
sweeping revision of the law. Then
came the famous rapprochement
between the White House and the
conservative southern Democrats.
Senator Byrnes of South Caro-
lima was all but publicly crowned
as heir apparent to the vice presi-
dency. Senator HARRISON of Mis-
sissippi plugged for a third term.
F. D. R. patted Martin Dies ap-
provingly on the back. . . and
administration opposition to the
Smith proposals lost its punch.
Mary Norton, who fought the
fight for the Labor Board in the
House, was giving away no secrets
when she complained the admin.
istration had been letting the bat
tie 60 by default.
Meanwhile the situation stands
as a distinct triumph in strategy
for Congressman Smith. Through
out he played his cards master
fully.
He began his hearings last fall
by questioning the boards mod
crate member, DR.. William Lesser
son and bringing out the full story
of dissension within the board.
He spent days bringing out evl
dence stressing the youthfulnes'
and inexperience of many boare
employees who had key positions
in administering the law.
Most important, he took full ad
vantage of the split within thu
board by centering his heavles
fire on the person of David Sa
poss, head of the research dlvl
sion. Defenders of the board wer'
promptly divided into pro = AM
a~nti-Saposs camps.
While they rowed bitterly owe:
a basically unimportant pom
Smith plugged away at his man
target-fundamental revision o
the law and abolition OF the boart
as it nov stands.
