Teachers Are Needed

MISS FRANCES COMFORT, vice president of the De-
lVl troit Federation of Teachers (AFL protested this
week against the Board of Educations proposed 1941
budget because she said it would necessate the dropping
of about so teachers from the present roster,
Miss Comfort pointed out that classes in Detroit
public schools already are overcrowded She Said 593
classes have more than 45 students each.
"Overcrowded classes in school vicious
thing" declared "They bring down the standard of
education. Basic classes such English and history
too big"
Miss Comfort spoke soundy and truthfuly. tits an
established that school teachers simply cannot trans
nit knowledge properly to overbg classes because dis
cpne bound suffer and personal direction of the less
alert pupils is impossible. Indeed most public school
experts agree that classes should not comprise more than
SO pupils at the outside.
Surely the Board of Education should find some way
of economizing besides firing teachers
Miss Comfort and her associates might suggest
few frs which could be eliminated that the teaching
staff is left intact.

A NlLLAlNoCo hd"h oai'ie
\ during the Summer to the
Hermitage of Hibiscus Island
down in Dade County, Florida,
and, chalked off Mona the mock
ing bird and several members of
her immediate family and fright
ened all the other birds away.
Now we no longer hear them
Cabling in the trees outside our
windows in the early morning
and we find we miss them sorely
They would assemble at hours
when we thought all good little
brides were supposed TO be IN
she'd and we think now that the
tap-tap-tapping OF the type
writer attracted tn m. We
think the noise must have been
the subject of their garrullty
We remember with regret how,
when they got too boisterous,
we would stick our head out
window and tell them TO dry up.
John Tyler. the ebon care
taker at the Hermitage. says he
noticed several small patches of
feathers about the place along in
Midsummer, but paid no par
ticular attention to them. 1t
never occurred TO him that
they were evidences of das-
tardly crime. and no thought of
a murderouS hawk entered his
head. No hawks had ever be-
fore visited the Hermitage eX-
cept Philander. the fish hawk
and his only concern is finny
stuff.
Incidentally, Philander is
terrible dope. Frequently he
tries to lug off a fish too hefty
fo. him to hanGle. Naturally he
has TO finally drop the fish and
pick on ono his size. But he
never learns from experience.
He keeps trying to move up out
of his weight class. We suspect
that Philander lives in hope
that one day he is suddenly 60
ing TO get strong as an OK.
ONE morning John Tyler heard
" a great furry in the top
most branches of a tree and
looked up TO see Mona in the
clutches of a hawk. Before John
could set up an outcry or heave
a rock, the CHASTITY business was
ended and the hawk was gone
with his prey John was so de-
pressed by the incident that he
neglected to set his traps for
Sidney the rat for two days and
with the passing of Mona. the
hooking birds came no more to
the Hermitage.
Somewhat Infatuated by Johns
report of the crime. we loaded
up long-barreled 12-gauge
shotgun that used TO reach can
vaSback at incredible ranges on
the Chesapeake and sat out in
the yard at intervals for several
days hoping the hawk would re-
turn. But while sitting there we
had chance to reflect and our
reflection somewhat dampened
our ardor for vengeance. We
reflected that for all we know
TO the contrary there may be a
law against shooting hawks,
especially within the city limits.

w human hawks are pro-
tected by law, but we arc not

Court Gives
New Vi+aIi+y,
To NlRB
Expansion Of Power Seen
in Heinz Case Decision
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9---Con-
w greSS may think il has been
dieting the National Labor Rela-
tons Board into sylphlike
slenderness. But the new SUI
preme Court is now feeding II
Wtamins on the side so fast that
even NLRB'S papa won't recog-
nize il when the court gets
through.
In the Link-Belt case. for a
. prime instance. Justice William
Douglas spoke for the court the
edict that conclusive facts are
not necessary for NLRB to find
a man guilty. Here no one fact
is conclusive, the justice said.
But the whole congeries of the
facts before the board support
its findings. eThe word is con-
gerieS" not conjuries,' as Doug
las used it,
But the greatest expansion of
power NLRB has received since
its inception was in the stimuli
taneous decision in the Heinz
case.
The man who wrote the law,
Senator Robert Wagner, said in
presenting it to Congress that it
did not require an employer TO
sign any agreement of any kind.
Congress has no power to impose
such a requirement. An agree
ment presupposes mutual con-
sent"
Mr., Wagner has found out diff
ferent, since the Heinz decision.
There the court said with less
ambiguity than the words imply:
An employer may not have to
make. an agreement, but he must
put ii in writing.
The fact seems to be that the
Wagner Act was written in the
broadcast terms TO give NLRB
the power 10 do about what it
sees fit to accomplish its pur-
pose. and the Supreme Court is
now writing expansive details
into the law in terms which
NLRB has chosenp

MR.. ROOSEVELTS budget
AVA may have seemed TO be a
mystifying contradiction. He
predicted the greatest boom in
the history of the nation Ia ma
tional income of SS7 100000, 000D
for precisely the same period of
time in which he wants a bill
lion dollars-yes, Sl,000,000,000
to spend for relief.
In explanation, the following
example of the relief-boom
situation has been officially
given:
There was a plant down South
employing 1000 Negro and white
WPA men. The foreman, in
changing the plant over for
more permanent work under
civil service, went through the
rolls and found there were only
600 men who were capable of
holding a steady job. The other
400 were either elderly tall
though under 65 and therefore
not eligible for old age pensions),
or did not have the mental ca
pacity to even dig a ditch, on
were so unsteady cit might
have been liquor or something
elSel that they could not be de-
pended upon to show up for
work five days a week at S a. m.
They were really unemploy-
ables. incapables. Healthy enough
in a physical way, they could
just not expect to find employ
ment anywhere in private indus
try even in boom times when
every man is needed for national
defense.
But TO classify them as what
they are would hurt them, in
the opinion of the federal adj
ministration. While the states
are supposed to handle unem-
ployables. this class created a
borderline situation in which 1t
was thought best TO continue the
relief appropriations.
This situation applies gencr-
ally and nationally Therefore,
the relief budget for the next
year can be cut only one-thlrd.
WHAT the administration Is
w driving at here apparently
IS the permanent establishment
of a system of support for IN
capableS. II their need is to be
a billion dollars in the coming
fiscal year tJune to june when
the nation is making an unparal-
lelcd effort 10 defend itself. il IS
not likely 10 be less IN future
years. The Work projects Admin
iStration IS 10 decide which ones
are really incapable and which
arc only Slothful by nature. The
money is 10 be given for what
ever work they appear capable
of doing irregularly. 1t is TO be
easy work.
Congress viii investigate the
situation to find how generally
the condition of the southern
factory may apply. and whether
billion dollars is needed for the
purpose. But its inquiry can be
made only through questioning
officials of WPA who gave the
President his recommendations.
The Appropriation, therefore.
may be sliced but not much.
