Congress adopted the amendment,
then took a recess, all employees in
the war agencies getting $4,000 or
more, would be off the payroll until
the Senate could confirm them
later in the year.
Ramspeck Promises Hearings.
Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee pointed out
the Senate has passed separate
bill on the same subject, and that
his committee has agreed to hold
hearings on 1t later.
The House took the same stand
against a similar amendment, ap-
piled to personnel of the War Man
power Commission in the labor Sc
curity bill Friday.
In his futile attempt to recommit
the war agencies bill, Mr.. Dirksen
objected to elimination of the House
ban on OPA funds for subsidies. but
Mr. Taber said President Roosevelt
had vetoed the same issue in the
Commodity Credit Corp. bill. and
that the amendment might cause a
veto Of the appropriation bill.
The House originally voted to re-
quire that all persons who prepare
price regulations be able to show
five years experience in the business
affected by the regulations, but ac-
cepted compromise vesting dis
cretion in the price administrator
to decide whether appointees have
had sufficient experience in business
or commerce.
No Record Vote.

compromise affecting Mr.. Lovett,
Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Dodd. Chair

a final plea for insistence on the
original House ban. but the House

Can't be Transferred.
Asked why Mr.. Deschner had not
been transferred in line with his
request, Mr.. Werts said that
where men have to be confirmed by
the Senate, as in the case OF a
$500 VINO Job, they cannot be
transferred but. must be reselected

He said he had notified regional

3. While in st. Louis, he granted
an interview to a local paper in
which he was quoted as describing
the War Manpower Commission as
bureaucracy at its worst"
Mr.. Deschner came to Washing
ton as acting area director in Feb
ruary and was formally confirmed
the following month. He said he
had been told to reorganize the
USES and to develop it until a
permanent director could be found
and to introduce the VINO program,
including the appointment of a
| Labor Management Committe and
the establishment of a stabilization
plan. He pointed out that he had
done all these things and felt his
job was completed here.

been loaned from National VINO

Tennessee High Coud
Holds Law Repeating
Poll Tax Is Invalid
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July s.
Tennesseans must continue to pay
a poll tax as q prerequisite to vot-
ing, the State Supreme Court ruled
today.
In three e-to-two opinion the court
held unconstitutional acts of the 1874;
Legislature repeating half century.
old laws levying the tax, providing
for its collection, and prescribing
how evidence of payment must be
presented by voters.
The court took no action on an
other act Of the last Legislature
setting up permanent system for
registration of voters. This act was
automatically voided since 1t be-
came effective only when there was
no poll tax requirement for voting
Two Justices Dissent.
The majority opinion Of the court
was written by Justice Alexander
w. Chambliss of Chattanooga and q
brief dissenting opinion was written
by Chief Justice Grafton Green, on
behalf of himself and Justice A. B.
Neil.
Repeal bills were considered by
the last three biennial General
Assemblies. approved each time by
Gov. Prentice Cooper but opposed
by powerful forces close to the
State administration.
This year, with E. H. Crump, Mem
phis political leader. and Gov. Coop
er advocating it. the poll-tax re-
pealer passed the Legislature un-
eventually after a bitter fight had
been waged before permanent reg
1stration bill was passed.
Opponents of repeal all along had
declared such action was unconsti-
tutional but the Governor advised
the Legislature that it should do
Its part by passing the proposed bill
and let the courts determine the
legal questions.
Sheriff Initiated Test.
Burch Biggs, sheriff of Polk Coun-
ty. initiated the court action which
was concluded today. The case
came to the State Supreme Court
on appeal from decision Of Chan
cellor T. L. Stewart, who held it
unconstitutional in Polk County
Chancery Court.
The majority opinion of the court
held that "abrogation of require
ment for payment of an annual
State poll tax for school purposes
= is violative of the mandatory
imperative command of the Consti-
tuition" and that while one Legis-
lature normally may repeal laws en-
acted by another, in this case it was
improper, when one Legislature had
carried out definite constitutional
mandate, for another to attempt
to nullify it."
The only method now left open
to the repeal advocates. as pointed
out in the courts opinion today, is
by constitutional amendments
lengthy process involving approval
of two successive Legislatures and
then vote of the people. or the
alternate process of the Legislature
calling popular election on the
question Of holding a constitutional
convention which. in turn. would
have authority to amend the or
ganic law. All previous attempts
to amend the Tennessee Constitu-
ton have failed.

Is that where l am going there
will be no mothers and no
fathers-for after this mothers
are going 10 have very little use
for me and fathers are going TO
be too scared 10 take my part.
Now what do I mean when I
say fathers are the best
mothers?
At the beginning m o h ers
know nothing about babies.
They learn at the baby's ex-
pense.
II the first baby survives, they
use what they have learned on
the next one.
BY this process OF trial and
error mothers manage TO raise
families.
If the family is large enough,
II raises itself.
And how have we survived,
this terrifying process
Only because babies are In
destructible.
Not only can you bounce a
baby on your knee but you can
practically bounce him on the
floor.
If babies weren't so hardy,
none of us would be alive today.
I CAN remember way back
Il when mothers nursed babies.
Today fathers fix their for
mulas.
Right at the beginning we
have eliminated mothers.
And why do fathers have to fix
formulas?
Because mothers can't add.

Women pay no attention to it.
There is practically no woman
