LABOR PEACE
WITHOUT UNION
Some of the governments labor
experts are now suggesting that
peace between the C. l. o. and the
A. F. of l.. may take place without
any union between the two groups.
All that's needed, they say, is a
fair-play agreement on the spheres
OF influence" the rival unions
ought to have.
For instance: A. F. of l.. might
waive all rights to organize auto
workers. and G. l. O. might give
I'D its rights in the building in
dustry. If such agreements could be
reached for half a dozen major
fields. it is suggested that the two
organizations could go along side
by side without much trouble.
MORE DOLLARS
The Dies committee is due to ask
for tand geD a new appropriation
to continue its work next year.
Noteworthy is the fact that the hot
opposition the committee used to
get from the liberal bloc" in the
House has cooled Off considerably.
An illustration of this fact is
furnished by the election campaign
recently won by congressman John
M. Coffee of Washington, the Ii
beral blocs floor leader Coffees
opponent made the Dies committee
his campaign issue and belabored
Coffee for having opposed the
committee. Coffee turned the tables
BY producing letters from major
ity of the committee-Congressman
Starnes, VoorhiS, Casey and DEM
psey- warmly urging his re-elec-
ton. He won by $4,000 votes.
Point is that an ultra-liberal
like Coffee not only can stand well
with the Dies committee, but can
as Coffee did in the campaign
state that congressional liberals
will support continuation of the
committee if it works as in the
last few months.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. - Leg
iSlation to give permanent status
to about 100000 temporary" gov
ernment employees in washington
will probably ges approval by Con-
greSs within the next few days, and
if the act is passed. it will permit
one of the slickeSt lodges ever
conceived to evade civil service res
trictionS.
The trick will be done through
the Ramspeck bill giving the Pre-
sident authority to extend civil
service ratings to government
workers vino are not now on that
basis. This bill has been kicking
around-or, more accurately. kick
ed around-in Congress ever since
the first of the year, but the last
kinks are now being ironed out.
It's passage would mean that non-
civil employees except for WPA and
administrative workers. could, un-
der presidential orders. get civil
service protection by passing non-
competitive tests. Thereafter they
would be protected against politi-
cal dismissals-although, of course,
they would not be protected against
lopping-off of their jobs if some
economy-minded Congress in the
future should decide to cut the bud
get.
Congress was a bit leery about
passing the bill before election
Republicans figuring it would en-
able the New Deal to salt away
too many faithful Democrats in
case OF a G.. O. P victory. 1t picked
up some screwy amendments along
the way, too, the worst being a
House -aided rider stipulating that
the blanketing-in couldn't take
place until all state and territorial
patronage quotas had been filled.
That would have meant that the
bill could never be put into effect,
for under this provision the Pre-
sident would have had to dig up
minor clerkships for 10 Virgin Is
landers, among others, to meet the
requirement But the rider is being

be repressive merely, but dynamic

ing days" he says, men may
achieve not merely that personal
security and common stability
which alone might mean monotony
and boredom. Men may look for
ward to adventurous participation
in the process of creative evolution
in the constructive transforma-
ton and betterment of life condi-

The 18th and 18th centuries,
Professor Merriam says, won civil
liberties by protecting person and
property against arbitrary seizure
and force. The 18th established po-
litical liberty through the right to
vote and held office. These are
largely negative
The positive stage now appears.
1t is open to this and following
generations actually to mold condi-

Psychology. psychoanalysis, psy-
cho-biology, medicine are all tools
now available fer this constructive

tools of political and economic de-
vices.

Among his proverbs is one which
Is especially worth recalling just
at this time. when we are all think

Where there is no vision. the

just as the whole zest of life is in
having something to look forward

cnly thing that gives a social or

any strength is the feeling that

There has been too much talk of
preserving democracy" Certainly
1t must be preserved, but always

what it used to be. The glory of

SECURITIES
{ Milwaukee JournaD

Senator Harry F. Byrd, discussing the
excess profits tax bill, warns Congress
that it is not beginning to meet the pres
ent revenue emergency.
The excess profits proposal will pro-
duce only about $500, 100000 in revenue.
Previous changes in the tax laws will
add only about S700,00O,000 more. The
total of new revenue will, therefore, be
only S10OO,00O,000 a year. Little of
that will be available for defense, for the
regular departments of government have
long been operating partly on borrowed
money and there is no indication of econ
omy in this direction in the future.
So most of the enormous defense ap-
preparations which this Congress will
make will be unmet by any revenue meas
ure so far considered. Uncle Sam, says
Senator Byrd, cannot avoid going bank
rupt within a few years at this rate, un
less something drastic is done to raise
more money.
AS beginning, the Senator asks that
future issues of government bonds carry
the same tax liability as other bonds. He
asks that the tax exemption feature be
removed =.
Tax exemption of bond issues has been
matter of subsidy. In the past the Fed
eral government has subsidized state and
local governments, as we'll as itself, in
the money markets. Public borrowing has
achieved an advantage by giving an ad-
vantage-an advantage which is in real
ity limited to the very rich, for they only
are in position to gain from extremely
low interest rates coupled with tax eX
emption =.
If government cannot get the money it
needs without subsidy, there is something
wrong with government.

A REVOLUTION

Speaking or revolutions, the work of
the National Chemurgic Council should
not be overlooked. Right now it is seek
ing especially new uses for surplus
crops which were formerly exported and
the cultivation of new crops formerly
imported
Industrial chemistry has already done
amazing things with agricultural prod
ucts. Soy beans, skim milk, castor oil
and sugar cane fiber are among the farm
materials which reappear in paints, cars,
lubricants for automobile and airplane
engines, plastic materials of countless
uses, and so on.
So far the work of the chemurgists
has provided more income for farmers
and industrialists alike. That has meant
a rising standard of living-more useful
goods at lower prices. 1t has also aided
national defense and made the country
better able to stand period of isolation
from world markets.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 49, - Love
has wrought some amazing changes
in the life of Big Boy Williams.
His old hauntS and henchmen see
little of him these days. The lunch
con crowd III the Universal cafe sits
.open-mounthed and silent, almost
aghast. to hear the sentimental ef-
fusions which the huge actor pours
into the telephone when Lupe Velez
calls him during the noon hour.
There's a great improvement in
Big Boys appearance. He wears a
coat and tie, and he keeps his
great mop of curly hair combed if
not cut. When I saw him last he
confessed he was going to take
Lupe to the opera next evening.
Its Lily Pons in-ah-somep'n,' y
he said Il amt ever been to any
opera.
LUPE TAKES
TO THE RANCH
Miss Velez' Beverly Hills house is
for sale, and out at Williams Is
acre ranch there's a great hustle
of remodeling and enlarging for
the coming of a bride. ITS all
western, said the shaggy actor
proudly. Navajo rugs and every
thing. I'm buildin' her a bedroom
that's 40 by Is feet. Well it had
TO be big-the one in her house is
80 By 16, so I thought I'd top it."
Lupe Velez de Villalobos goes out
to the ranch almost every day. There
are horses, cows, sheep and Shet-
Ian. ponies-the latter kept for
the amusement of the kids of Big
Boys friends. Williams is one of
the best riders and polo players in
Hollywood, though pretty wild. Lupe
likes to ride, and he has a black
thoroughbred named Boogeyman for
her.
l asked if it would seem a little
restraining and company manner
ish to have woman around the
place. He said goodness gracious
no. Why only the other day he
boughe 100 baby chickens and
brooder for her, and when he
drove out after finishing at the
studio there was Lupe with all the
chickens in the house, running
around on the Navajo rugs. He
had an awful time coaxing her to
put EN- in the brooder.
I asked whether they'd had any
tights yet, and he said couple.
Then he added: She won 'em both"
WILL ROGERS
TAGGED HIM
Williams is even bigger than
Johnny WeiSsmuller first husband
OF the Tempestuous Tamale, His
bulk is a little more than twice
her lis pounds, and he's almost
Is inches taller than her feet.
He's 40 years old, which is 10
more than his fiancee. 1t was Will
Rogers who gave Quinn Williams
the name of Big Boy. Lupe just
calls him "Beeg."
Big Boy, who came out of De-
catur, Texas. in 1919 to become an
extra. a western star and then a
character actor in scores of NOV
les, has hundreds of friends in
Hollywood ranging from $5.50-a-
