President May
Be Nearing End Of
Coddline Labor
BY Is. C. FORBES

Are we justified in interpret
ing President Rooseveit's rebuke-
to the overreaching farm bloc
in Congress as foreshadowing
adoption of similar attitude
towards overreaching la Dor
leaders?
Heretofore the President has
kowtowed 10 all demands made
by champions of farmers-just
as he has kowtowed to organ
lied labor.
Doubtless his vetoing Of the
bill engineered by farms inter-
ests, which would have forbid
den the government 10 market
any of its huge taxpayer-owned
stocks Of wheat and cotton, will
shock agricultural folks.
One is reminded OF the Lon
don coStermonger's aged donkey
which one day dropped dead. It's
owner coaxed and kicked it TO
get up but, OF course. all in
-Xain- Finally, he shook his head
and remarked 10 the gathering
street crowd:
Of never gone and done
hanything like this before"
President Roosevelt's action is
indisputably sound, His own
trusted secretary Of the treas
ury, Henry Morgenthau Jr., had
characterized the demand that
government storehouses OF farm
commodities be frozen as
wicked.

K. T. Keller Gives
Apt Picture Of
Defense Program
BY sILER FREEMAN

K. K efler, president of
Chrysler, gave a-terse but COM
petent picture of the defense
situation. just before the cor
poration showed visiting news
papermen from all over the
country what it is doing on the
program. Said Keller:
"The defense program IL In
that phase where you have
fruit coming off some of the
trees, and where, on the other
hand, You have a lot Of this
preparatory work which il
hard 10 see coming 10 fun de-
velOpment."
Keller was referring especially
TO the job undertaken TO make
center fuselage and nose sections
for the Martin medium bomber.
Goodyear will make the wing
assembly and Hudson the tail
assembly and the whole ship
will be assembled at the Martin
plant in Omaha.
