that John L. Lewis "is entirely

The Secretary said she believes
the practical way to handle the
labor situation at this time is tc

machinery and through voluntary
cooperation rather than through
compulsory measures.

She was one of four major Off

however, that reopening of the

Mr.. May and other committee
members said they interpreted the
opposition of the four officials as
part of an administration effort to
block the controversial bill.

to know why these officials waited
until after our committee and the
Rules Committee had approved the
bill before they expressed their op-
position, and Wether their opposi-

He commented that "it seems more
than merely a coincidence that all
four of them" should state the same
reasons for their stand
Mr. Knox, Admiral Land, Miss
Perkins and Mr. McCloy said in
their letter that the legislation runs
squarely counter to the national
policy embodied in the voluntary
and unconditional no-strike agree
ment entered into by industry and
labor with the President immedi-
ately following Pearl Harbor."
The agreement. they contended,
has been proved satisfactory by ex-
perience, and 'it would seem unWise
in time of war to experiment with
an untried substitute for a policy
whose work is already demon
strated"
The legislation. most stringent the
House has had before it since the
Pearl Har6or attack, seeks to pro-
hibit strikes in Government-oper-
ated industries, outlaw them in other
industries until after a 30-day notice
and a secret vote of workers in

annual financial and membership
statements and strengthen the au-
thorlty of the War Labor Board.

PHOENIXV1LLE, Pa. June l.
Hundreds of American soldiers who
were fighting on the North African
front month ago observed Memo
rial Day at Valley Forge. And for
most of them the war was over.
An 11-car hospital train arrived
here just before dawn of the holiday
dedicated to Americas war heroes.
1t looked more like a troop train,
outbound, as the invalided fighting
men stuck their heads out the win
dows and joked with the few per-
sons assembled alongside a railroad
siding.
Several of them asked. "How's
everybody doing back here? We
heard they're having a tough time
with rationing'
AS photographers boarded the
train, one soldier shouted, Hey,
buddy, wait a minute till I cover up.
Cant let people see this stump I got
for leg. Might be bad for their
morale"

he take whatever action he felt
necessary to end the dispute.
The Galbraith-Maxon feud first
reached public attention when they
took opposite sides on the question
of compulsory grade labelling Of
canned goods. Mr.. Brown, who once
indorsed grade labelling, finally
abandoned the plan in favor of
compromise.
Much of the criticism Of Mr.. GAL
braith, in and out of Congress, has
concerned the complexity of price
regulations.
A native of Iona Station, Ontario,
Canada, Mr.. Galbraith entered Gov
ernment service in 1910 as an ad-
wiser to the old National Defense
Advisory Commission. He went to
OPA in May, 1941, and was one Of
Mr.. Henderson's key men,

Mr.. Maxon replied that If he had
his way he would give Mr.. GAL
braith IS minutes to pack.
Following those sharp words, con-
tinue officials, Mr.. Brown told re-
porters that if they can't get along
I'll pick the one I think is best and
let the other one 60"
Mr.. Maxon left the city imme-
diately after this and it was reported
that he would not return unless
assured that he would be given the
position he sought There was no
immediate indication today whether
Mr.. Brown had~feached a decision
regarding Mr.. Maxon's future status.
The suddenness of Mr.. Galbraith's S
resignation aroused some specula-
ton that James F. Byrnes, new di-
rector of war mobilization, might
have suggested to Mr.. Brown that

 T am returning to Nassau very shortly for an indefinite stay" Nancy stated today. q feel sure I will be able to help Freddy now. My trip has proven very satisfactory to me"
 While her husband paces a hot prison cell, the nineteen-year- old heiress who dashed 1,125 miles by plane from the Bahamas in des- perate effort to aid him, is in New York at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Paul Zahl, arranging her af- fairs.
 Asked pointblank if she had ever considered her thrice-married hus- band might be guilty of the burning and bludgeoning to death of her sixty -eight-year-old ia ther, the young bride who has survived horror and tragedy with amazing calm, an- swered with characteristic prompt ness:
 T have examined the case in my own mind, as have not been blind, of course, to what have heard and read against my husband. But never, for single instant, has there been the slightest flicker of doubt that Freddy is innocent.

YESTERDAY in discussing the
methods which the modern
physician uses TO make a dag
nosis in order 10 find out what is
the matter with his patient, 10
get acquainted with the patient
himself in order TO prescribe
treatment wisely, we discussed
in detail the first step which is
taken. namely the gathering of
the. patients history Of his ILL
ness.
The average patient in the
modern age is inclined 10 under
rate the Importance Of this item.
He has become familiar with
the many machines the modern
physician uses and ascribes TO
them, as he does 10 all machines,
as an inhuman kind of accuracy.
He is inclined 10 believe,
therefore, that what he tells the
physician about his symptoms is
very much less important than
what can be gathered by the pre-
cision machines.
LIE ALSO is conscious Of the
II vagueness and inaccuracy of
a good deal Of his own testi-
mony.
No two persons describe an
event. even IL they just have wit
Messed il. exactly the same or
exactly accurately.
How much less exact then
must be the testimony Of A per-
son about his own feelings
lie is not good judge OF him
self.
The physician. however knows
all OF this and discounts all Of IL
and frames his questions 70 over
come the inherent inaccuracy.
Then too. symptoms have a
way of falling into patterns and
the doctor of wide experience
can usually tell when the patient
is drawing the long bow and
when he is sticking strictly 10
the truth.
THERE is a series OF articles
L which appears in the New

which many of my professional
friends read religiously, week by

counts Of a conference at the

The correct diagnosis is
known, although the analyst has
not been informed Of il.
