 . One of the companies is the General Aniline and Film Corpor- ation of New York. What was overlooked was that this concern was one of the six indicted in January on charges of violating the antitrust laws in the produc- ton Of magnesium, @ key defense material.
 The indictment declared flatly that General Aniline and Film Corporation was organized by I. C.. FarbeninduStrie (giant German dye trust) in 1929 and its stock has since and through to the pres ent been directly or indirectly controlled by I. c. Farbeninustrie". |. It was formerly called the "Amer- ican I. c. Chemical Corporation"
 Also not brought out was that the last annual financial state- ment of General Aniline, on De- cefnber 31, 1940, showed that 1t owned outright 56,300 shares of common (voting) stock, valued at $6,136, TOO, of the International Gesellschaft fuer Chemische Un- ternehmungen A. c. Switzerland, and another 28,600 shares of this firms common stock listed as "5O per cent paid".
 The Justice Departments grand jury probe is for the purpose of ascertaining whether Chemische Unternehmugen, although listed as a Swiss firm, Is not actually Nazi-controlled.
 Another item under scrutiny in General Aniline's report is 43,750 shares of common stock valued at $772,0i2 of American Magne- sium Corporation listed as "sold subsequent to December 31, 1940." American Magnesium was organ- ized originally by the Aluminium Corporation of America, also one of those indicted in January. Since

USE OF THE ROD
(Boston Post)

An extremely controversial propo- sition has just been tossed in the laps of the Board of Education of New York city. A group of junior high school teachers has urged that a by-law be changed to allow cor poral punishment, at least in ex- treme cases. Generally, officials are opposed to such Q change. Tn the words of the superintendent of the city's schools ''Real teachers have never been known to need the rod'' and as regards the suggestion thai this form of punishment be used only by principals they are sM1p1 posed to possess the real teacher
 qualifications to . greater degree. That would seem to be the answer.

Selected Poem
APPOINTMENT WITH SPRING

Gouis Ginsberg in the New York Times) I must have, while the bombers wing, An appointment with the Spring I must glow with burning power, Lit by faggot of flower. I must be fortified by those Proclamations of the rose. I must watch how from the mold Dandelions dredge their gold. I must be well uttered by Violets that copy sky. I must interview the trees Anchored deep in verities. Tree and branch and flower and stem Conference I must hold with them; Until every stem and tree Will last take roots in me; And grow in strength once more Tyranny is weak before.

ever produced. It was said of him that no man of his generation more perfectly showed forth Christ's characteristics of gentleness and pa- tience than did he. But Martyr himself testifies that in his youth he had an ungovernable temper. He spilled 1t out over anyone, and his hot words and malicious rejoinders to those who presumed to differ with him often ran like molten lava over the hearts of his loved ones. His description of himself at that time gives us picture of most un- pleasant person.
 The worst passion in the world can be mastered if we set about to master 1t; not by ourselves alone, of course, but by ourselves and God working together. Martyr became a conspicuously saintly character not because of his strong will. but be- cause of his strong faith. St. Paul declared that he could do all things. but he was careful to add these words. through Him that strength eneth me"
 Be the passion little or great, 1t drives us at last to the despairing conclusion that we are helpless bee meath it's tyranny. Hut with Gods help, all things are possible.

ure and 1t went to the Senate. There 1t ran head on into another "frilw tangle--in reverse. This time 6 "frilp was put into the bill.
 Brick makers protested that
 the $3,OO0 limit specified for each housing unit barred the use of bricks, and demanded that the ante be raised to $3,500. Ono of
 the chief pro-brick spokesmen was Senator Bob Taft of Ohio, who sought to slash the lend-
 lease appropriation on the ground that 1t was excessive.
 On the argument that savings in paint, repairs and heating, through the use of brick would more than offset the $500 dif- ference. the Senate approved the boost--and added another delay. For now the amended measure has to go back to the House for 1t to decide whether bricks fall in the same "luxury" category as refrigerators and gas ranges.
 NOTE - Tn an effort to make up some of the time wasted by the frill-conscious boys on Capi- tol Hill, Defense Housing Co., ordinator Palmer has gone ahead with plans for a number of pro- jects, ready to start the moment the bill becomes law. one will be the largest low-cost housing project ever undertaken by the government.

Some mention has been made of the fact that great road-building plan will be projected when the war scare subsidies and defense industries start to taper off their schedules. We never could see how road-buiding would take the place of general employment. More than this will be needed to keep men and women enl- ployes throughout the land and officials should be giving some thought to that right now.

probably could set up an insurance fund of It's own. The average liabil- ity Alyment is by no means high. One only reads of the high ones; one seldom hears or reads of the low payments: and in cases where the drivers were not at fault. there usually are no payments at all, and most often not even lawsuits.
 The legislative scheme would be tremendous windfall for the legal fraternity. and political payments probably would predominate.

Someone with more originality than sense matched a scheme in the Legislature to have the state clamp down another cent-a-gallon gasoline tax and with the proceeds of $3.000,- 600 c year provide liability insurance for all cars in the state. For a pre- mlum of that ansbunt the state could automatically insure every car.

MIRA
 BACKWARDS

Over-simplifying, Administrator Henderson's big job is to stop price spirals before they happen. Conse- quently, 1t would be in perfect order for him to clamp Q top price on steel, make everyone take 1t, make everyone like 1t. Here is NRA all over again, in reverse ncouraging, stimulating production instead of stifiing 1t. Keeping prices down in- stead of up.
 To prevent profiteering, to con- trol prices and to control supplies of every commodity is obviously going to require what is known as 8 whale of an organization, and that is probably what MT. Hender- son will soon be building. It is too early to tell what form that or ganization will take. Mir. Henderson himself probably doesn't know de- finitely. but the inference is there will be sections to handle various groups of commodities like ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, textiles, drugs and eventually foods.
 Finding space for this whale in overcrowded Washington is a job in itself. Henderson's old price stabilization group of 25 top men and perhaps 50 clerks has been functioning from headquarters in an old red brick mansion way out in the 2000 block on Messachu- sets avenue. That's out of the question now.
 As to the future of OPACS. it's success will be that of its head. Henderson is unquestionably bril- liant with a mind like i7-jewel watch. He never misses tick. He has drive. Give him an inch and he'll take the mile. He is liked and he Is hated. He has been q government administrator since is34. in MIRA, WPA, TNEC. SEC. He has had no practical business experience, never met Q payroll, Tn the last war, he rose from prl- vate to captain. He is c Delta U.. ! c Mason.

son VIII De a houSehold word be. fore many more battles are fought in Washington, and you wouldn't want to be taking the name in vain.
 If 48-year-old, Swarthmore grad uate Henderson can keep his bal- ance, he stands today the best chance in the world of being the Bernard Baruch of the present war. He achieves this potential stature by reason of his presiden- tial appointment as administrator of the Ofilce of Price Adminis- tration and civilian Supply - OPACS for short = and that's arl- other word to scrawl on the wall. MAKES NEW
 DEAL HAPPY
 New Dealers in Washington to- day are hailing the appointment of Mir. Henderson to this high but obscure office as a great victory for their side in the fight for power as to who shall boss the defense ef- fort--the New Dealers or Big Bus mess.
 Up to now, Big Business, as per- sonified by Knudsen, Biggers, Nel- son, Stettinus and the dollar-a- year men, have been on top. Ap- pointment of Henderson to head OPACS is the first shovelful in another heap that is probably des. tined to be just as big as OPM, if 1t doesn't actually come to over- shadow 1t, which is the better bet.
 The authority with which MT. Henderson's OPACS is filled is tremendous. Without repeating the long presidential order creating this new alphateic agency and studying 1t closely, 1t is perhaps impossible to give any real grasp of what Hen. derson, OPACS and company can do.
 It Is not too much to say that this organization practically amounts to an economic ministry with absolute control over all prices on all supplies and com- modities from hot soft mush to cold hard steer. There has never been anything 50 far reaching in this line in American government. It is therefore something to watch, It may be around for a long time, even after the war Is over.
 The governmental organization theory is that OPACS and OPM shall be parallel organizations un- der OEM - Office of Emergency Management - which is the Presi- dents holding company for the entire defense effort. MT. Hender- son is to be the equal of MT. Knudsen- -Hillman. The latter will run the defense show. The former will run everything else.
 If our wartime economy works out that way, dandy. If no con- fiicts on priorities and prices and supplies for the armed forces and for civilian use are inevitable, and then begins the fireworks, the old battle of the New Deal against Business, all over again.
 The need for an organization like the office of Price Admins tration and Civilian Supply is ob- vious Take just one item, steel.
 Ten per cent wage increases have been granted by some steel companies. If this 10 per cent is tackled onto the price of steel, most basic of all defense materials, the cost of defense is increased, taxes and government debt are increased and there is created Q perfect ex- ample of what the economists call price spiral.
