Smith Amendments dead"
1t doesn't look very much like the
present congress is going to pass the
Smith amendments to the national
labor relations act, recently passed by
the house.
The senate committee on education
and labor, of which liberal Senator
Thomas, Utah, is chairman, last week
voted almost unanimously to take no
action on the amendments at this
| time, since several of the amendments,
the committee held, required lengthy
public hearings. This was way of
saying that the amendments are going
to lie dormant indefinitely.

slider it good business to do a patri-

The Churchill government, purely
as a desperate effort at self preserva-
ton, has taken over these plants.
After all, why should the question of
national defense be handicapped by
considerations of private individuals
for profit? An effort in that direc-
ton by the United States government
would meet with overwhelming sup
port of the people, although it would
be vigorously opposed by the United
States Chamber of Commerce and the
National Association of Manufactur-

G. o. P. and Poll Tax

G. 0. P. and Poll Tax
1t will be interesting to watch wha
the Republican National Convention
does with resolution submitted to its
resolution committee to reduce pro
portionately the number of represent
atives in congress from the poll-tax
states.
The resolution submitted reads ::
"The number of representatives in the
congress of the United States appor-
toned to any state requiring the pay
ment of poll tax as a prerequisite
to voting in general elections shall
be reduced in proportion to the num-
Der of citizens whose right to vote
Is denied or abridged"
This is in conformity with Section
of the Fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution which provides that when
the right to vote at any federal cleo
ton is denied to citizens or abridged
In any way, the basis of representa-
ton in congress shall be reduced pro-
1t has never been en-
forced.
1t doesn't take either a prophet or
the son of a prophet to predict that
he resolution will be safely tucked
away or thrown into a waste-paper
basket.

BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG

She walks into the ward and
something happens to the room.
Every sailor, every marine in the
Naval Hospital has something he
wants to get of his chest, perhaps
favor to ask. Or maybe he just
wants to hear her laugh, or even
scold him.
1t was that way from the begin
ming. the first time she walked into
the hospital eight months ago.
1t began because a sailor she got
out of trouble in China, a marine
she befriended in Nicaragua. sick
man in the Mare Island Hospital
passed the word along to another
sailor, another marine.
Enlisted men are suspicious u.
"do-gooders." They may take
organized welfare work with grain
Of salt. But they knew about
Mother" Underhill.
They'd heard a man could talk to
her, tell his troubles and she would
keep it in confidence. They'd heard
she knew the service language, knew
the regulations, knew how to steer a
fellow out Of deep water. They
knew there was only one thing she
wouldn't forgive, going lover the
hill"-desertion.
Blamed Stories on Sergeant.
There were some pretty heroic
stories, too. But they knew if ever
a man mentioned them she's warn
him. not he. believe all those tales.
Shed bfAnie tliein on the old SER
geant that suggested the boys
needed mothering, back in 1920,
when her husband commanded the
legation guard in Nicaragua.
No matter. The boys at the Naval
Hospital accepted Mother" Under
hill. They started counting on her
daily visits They liked to pile into
her car and get away from the hos
pital for a while. And that's the
way it's been.
A marines wife had q baby a
while after he came to the hospital.
Mother" Underhill knew he was
worrying. So without a word to
him she drove down to Quantico to
see the new baby.
Two of the sailors had been long
ing all day for some chewing gum.
They got the idea In their heads
and couldn't get 1t out. So when
Mother" Underhill came by and
asked them If they wanted anything.
out came the request for chewing
gum. A few hours later, back she
came to the hospital In evening
clothes. Shed left party to fetch
some chewing gum.
Searched for Back Scratcher.
She searched all over town to find
q Chinese back scratcher for a ma
rine nearly crazy with the itching
that went with jaundice. He treas
ures that back scratcher.
One of the men was so i'll he could
take nothing but soup and the hos
pital soup wassmore than he could
swallow. Every day Mother" Un-
derhill prepared chicken broth her,
self and brought it to the hospital
It's simple enough formula. A
mother doesn't expect thanks for
what she does. She does it, dirty
work and all, day or night, because
she wants to- And Mother" Under
hill, who is, incidentally, the wife of
Col. j. L. Underhill, U. S. M. c., has
$4,000 sons" None OF them is her
own, but it doesn't seem to make
any difference. While her husband
is stationed here, her immediate
family" are the sailors and marines
OF the Naval Hospital. But she gets
letters from the others, sons" from
Pearl Harbor to Portsmouth. She
might weep over one OF them occa-
sionally, but she wouldn't let you
know about that.
What does she look like? Well,
