Controlling subversives

ATTORNEY General Jackson asks
Congress to legalize the tapping Of
telephone wires by Government law
enforcement officers, including Hoo
yer G-men who are branch of the
Department of Justice.
Wire tapping has been outrage
ously abused in the past. The prob
abilities are that the Attorney-Gen-
erals recommendation will be APP
proved but that tapping of wires will
be definitely forbidden by anyone ex-
cept the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation and other proper enforcement
officers.

DRUNKENNESS PUBLICLY
CONDONED

Drunken driving. which is univer-
sally condemned on the highways
and airways, is apparently to be con-
doned on the railways and by Gov
ernfhent edictl
The case in question involves an
engineer Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. Over a year ago this man was
discharged for drunkenness after
members of his own crew and a
competent examining physician had
testified he was absolutely unfit to
handle an engine due to alcohol.
Five years before the same man was
discharged for similar offense, and
was reinstated with the understand
ing that another violation of this
basic safety rule could not be toler-
ated. He was also discharged in 1887
for violation of another rule, but
again was taken back.
Last November, the First Division
of the National Railroad Adjustment
Board ordered the engineer rein
stated, with seniority rights unim-
paired, and with pay for all time lost
after March /, 1910. The Board bas-
ed its decision purely on techni-
cality, involving the procedure of the
railroads inquiry into the case. And
it did this in the face of the fact
that all who had testified at the in
vestigation, including the engineer
himself, stated that it had been car
ried on fairly and impartially, and in
spite of the further fact that there
was no denial or doubt as to the
condition Of drunkenness.
The railroads position is further
complicated in that the portion of
its system over which the engineer
is entitled to run is within state
which makes it criminal offense
for a railroad to knowingly continue
the employment of an engineer who
has been found guilty of intoxica-
ton while on duty.
This whole matter seems to call
for a real investigation. An engineer
who is drunk endangers the lives of
hundreds Of people, and of hundreds
of thousands Of dollars worth Of
property. The railroad simply did its
ineseapable duty to the public and
other railroad employees when it
discharged the offender. Such de-
cision, if allowed to stand, seems as
dangerous to public safety and well
fare as is a drunken engineer at the
throttle of an engine.

A Place To Save
Public Money

To any thinking person, one of the
main problems connected with oul
gigantic defense program is to gel
maximum results at minimum cOsl
to the government--whic means al
minimum cost to the taxpayers OF
to-day and tomorrow who must pay
the bill.
There is at least one phase of de-
tense where this eminently sound
principle seems to have been virtu-
ally thrown to the winds.
That is the electric power phase.
There is general agreement that our
power supply must be substantially
increased, In order to care for the
demands OF various kinds of arms
factories. And SO a certain group of
politicians are urging the ''neees-
sify" of building more government
power dams and expanding others
with, OF course, the taxpayers mon
ey. So far, some $4,000, 100000 has
already been spent in this manner
The sound way out Of any '.power
problem" that may exist is very diff
ferent It lies in encouraging the
private industry to expand suf1ci-
effly to meet cur potential needs
expansion which would be paid for
entirely with private money, and
which wouldn't cost any taxpayer a
nickel. No one who knows the pri-
vate electric industry can believe
that it would fail in this if it were
given the simple assurance that it
would be permitted to stay in busi-
ness, and not be faced with more
government competition from tax
subsidized, tax-built, politically op-
Grated plants II isn't asking for
great profits It asks only that it be
able to go ahead under public reg
ulation in the normal way of busi-
ness. serving the public to the best
of its great abilities, and earning
enough profit to pay investors
moderate return on their money.
II this hasn't occurred to our law
makers, it should be brought to their
attention. Not one cent should be
spent by government for generating
or distributing power unless it can
be proven beyond question that the
existing private industry. which has
met and conquered many crisis Of
the past, is unable to meet the stu
alton today.

RADIANT LIVING
Beyond The Gate Beautiful
By REV. c. NJ. eRTFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, CeciIson, Nd.

Have you ever noticed how many
people today are Ike that certain
character in the New Testament?
have reference to that lame mar
who was carried daily to the Temple
and placed outside its walls by the
Temple Gate.
Although this man was carried
every day as far as the entrance
into the Temple, he had never been
inside that Temple. His eyes had
never seen the beauties which adorn-
ed the interior of that sacred sruc-
ture.
Yes, many of us are just like him.
We never get any further than the
Temple Gate, because we are lame.
Only our lameness is not in our
ankles. 1t is in our eyes. Somehow
they are not able to comprehend the
spiritual. 1t is true, we see the
Temple Of Divine Beauty, but we
have never been through that Gate
OF divine amounting which ushers
one. into the amazing and marvel
Gus glories of the Divine
To His disciples Jesus declared:
BLESSED are your eyes, for they
see." 1t was their joy to enter with
Him into the Temple of Divine Beau
ty and to comprehend those eternal
varities which are never seen by
the wise and prudent"
What greater joy could one have
than that which came to those sor-
rowing perplexed disciples in their
humble home in Emmaus when, as
they were entertaining at supper a
stranger, when their eyes were OPEN
ed and they recognized that this
Stranger was the Christ-risen and
living again among men!
The prayer of the Apostle Paul
for us is that 'the eyes of your un-
derstanding being enlightened; that
ye may know what is the hope of
His calling, and what the riches of
the glory of His inheritance in the
saints, and what is the exceeding
greatness of His power to us who
believed"
What a prayer this is! Why not
make it your daily prayer?

! The capital stock fire insurance
industry of this country, working
through its central organization, the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
has put into effect far-reaching
program concerning fire protection
in its relation to national defense.
Some time ago the Board estab-
lished an advisory bureau on fire
protection in the War Department.
That bureau is now working, and no
cost to the government of any kind
is involved Now the Board has an
nounced the establishment of a SINH
lar bureau in the Office of the Navy
Department, Bureau of Yards and
Docks.
The technical service to be rend-
cred the Navy will include surveys
and reports, with recommendations
covering fire protection in its var
ious phases; consultation on water
supply and water distribution sys-
TENS; suggestions for safeguarding
the fire hazards in building con-
struction and advising in relation to
automatic sprinkler protection, fire
alarm systems and industrial haz-
ards. A contract has been signed
with the Navy Department which in
wolves the payment to the National
Board of the sum of one dollar a
yearl
That is a real contribution to ma
itional defense. The various navy
yards are centers Of unprecedented
activity now as the new super
navy" program swings into gear.
One big fire might set that program
back for months. And time is some
thing we cannot afford to waste
now. Thus do the stock fire insur-
ance companies set an example of
real patriotism when ii is most
needed.

activities of automobile manufactar-
ing plants throughout. the country.
General Motors has frequently dir
ected attention to its sources OF raw
materials and supplies which are
drawn from every State in the Union
to be used in the manufacture of
motors. This company is drawing
heavier than ever nowadays upon
the States for natural products. be-
cause the Defense program shows
General Motors is not only manufac-
turing its regular products, but is
employing its engineering and pro-
duction facilities; and the skill, ex-
perience and technical ability of its
organization, and the essential spe-
cial machine and equipment that has
been demanded for the manufacture
of lot Of strange goods and ma
chimes. Allison liquid-cooled air
plane engines for the British and the
United States Government are being
manufactured.
Trucks of various military types
for the British and u, S. Govern
ments are being delivered.
Motors for submarine and other
naval units are in the program at the
Cleveland Diesel Engine division.
Preparations are being made for
production of machine gums at divi-
sions of the General Motors that
make FrigidaiEes, spark plugs, steer
ing gears, and lamps; and for shell
parts at the Olds motor division. Air
plane equipment will be manufac-
tured at the company's Rochester
division.
Additional products ordered from
various divisions include fire con-
troll equipment, tank gun mounts,
cartridge cases, fuses, magnetos, mo-
tors and other items Of technical
nature.
Defense orders placed with Cen
eral Motors for the United States
and Great Britain in Canada and the
United States are estimated at $780,

this great corporation has become
inasmuch as it is now one Of the
