You exhibit this pass at the
gate and again as you enter the
executive mansion. You are
now in a big lobby, dominated
by an enormous f1at-topped
table. gift of Aguinaldo. the old
Filipino insurrectionist. So far
as / know this table has never
been used for anything except
a hatrack for reporters.
Conferences are usually 10 10
20 minutes behind schedule
seldom on time. You show your
pass twice more as you move
into the Presidents sanctum--
the secret service men scrutiniZe
II each time no matter how
familiar they are with your
klsser.
When everybody is assembled
before the Presidents desk,
guard shouts All in" The doors
are locked and no one ca. leave
until it's over. This Is neces-
sary. because, whenever the
President says anytime hot
every good reporter has q ter
rife itch to get to phone.
F. D. r. tells what news he
wishes to give out. Then the
session Is thrown open to ques-
tons.
Well, at our most recent
frolic, the President said he had
only one piece OF news to wit:
that. no matter what rumors
were current, he positively did
not have the sniffles.
BY way of proof he shifted
loudly. We all laughed like
hyenas.
Then somebody asked about
his statement that he would not
campaign In the usual political
sense. The President said this
represented only half a SEN
tence.
Then he really startled us.
After the press conference, he
said, he would ask the guards
to shoot us!
Well, a number Of us are in
clined to be narrow-minded
and averse to being bullet
riddled. But F. D. r. added that
he would ask the guards to
shoot us-except that he'd 60
to the electric chair for it.
You should have heard our
howls of relief!
The President said that after
hearing the full sentence he
presumed we felt fairly safe.
Not too safew cracked a re-
porter-and we went into hys-
terics all over again.
When il subsidized, F. D. r.
said his full sentence had been
that he did not intend to cam
paign in the usual political
sense, except 10 answer nisrep-
reservations and gross mis-
statements of fact.

IF THERE has been any one
i thing that has been impressed
on the American people II is tire
advantage of the rest treatment
for nervous invalids.
But here comes my friend,
DR.. Karl Menninger OF Topeka.
In a very sensible article and
says that such suppression Is
the worst thing that can hap
pen to many patients whose
nervousness In just an attempt
10 find an outlet for their per-
sonality.
DR.. Menninger has some good
news for middle aged to elderly
people who perhaps are labeled
thigh blood pressure" and pro-
coed to be laid on the shelf by
their doctors and families and
business associates.
The rest" that IL prescribed
for these people. DR.. Menninger
thinks, n poor judgment; that
what they need is to be allowed
to satisfy their aggressive ten
denotes az much as possible.
All Of which, az ! say. seems
TO me very humanitarian and
sensible.
In my experience as a con-
sultant ! have rescued many an
old reprobate from the minis
trations Of a too conscientious
younger colleague, from. in his
own words. this blankety blank
bed. and this blankety blank
veterinary and his blankety

kept giving him nothing but a
glass OF blankety blank milk

TIVE organizational genius OF

THE organizational genius Of
l. the Communist party best
expresses itself in the number
and variety Of associations
which are from time to time set
up for special purposes, but
which are controlled through an
interlocking group whose names
appear and reappear whenever
a new setup is arranged.
Atty. Gen. Biddle once estab-
lished by memorandum the par
ticular organizations which the
department Of justice. for its
particular purposes, accepted AZ
Com m unist OF Communist
dominated.
The actual number is much
larger than Biddle's list shows,
and the newest one, the Polit-
ical Action Committee, was or
gained subsequent to Its issu-
ance.
The committee on un-Amer-
lean activities of the House Of
Representatives, In an analytical
report Of the Political Action
Committee, shows that Of 141
names on the National Citizens
Action Committee, 80 are men,
bers of organizations VIII ich
Atty. Gen. Biddle declared to
be subversive and Communist.
OF these SO, I shall list those
whose participation In this In
terlocking arrangement appears
five times and over, and the
figure after the name indicates
the number of organizations Of
this type which the individual
joined:
Louis Adamic (6), William
Rose Bennett go. Elmer Benson
Gu. Mary Mcleod Bethune 90,
James B. Carey 60, Joseph
Curran (14), Langston Hughes
(12), Max Lerner co., Francis
J. Mcconnell go. Carey Nc
Williams (8), Paul Robson go,
Reid Robinson co., Frederick L.
Schuman (5), Mary Van Kleeck
(6), A. F. Whitney (S), James
Waterman Wise (6).
Many persons on this Polit-
ical Action COMMITTEES list be-
longed to fewer than five Of
these interlocking organizations.
NOW. let US 60 one step
~ further. One OF these inter-
locking organizations was de-
voted to anti-war activities dur
ing the Hitler-Stalin alliance.
This was the American peace
mobilization which picketed the
White House, as you may recall.
On the Political Action Conn.,
mittee there are IL members
who also belonged to this or
ganization which stood by the
Hitler-Stalin alliance and which
went out Of business when the
alliance was broken.

Yes. This astonishing fact Is
brought out in a study made by
statistician Louis 1. Dublin. He
points out that in New York
state in 1910 marriages of young
men under 20 increased % per
cent over 1899: in 1871, u per
cent, and in 1912, 1873 per cent.
More than half the boys of Is

and one-fourth Of those 10, mar

One can readily understand why
boys of 10 would almost neces-
sarily marry girls older than
themselves, but why boys of 19
should ever do so, and particu-
larly during wartime, has me
puzzled. DR.. Dublin does not
suggest an explanation.
2-Three things: inferiority
complex, cowardice and low
moral character.
3-On the average, yes. This
astounding fact was brought out
by the nationwide study of per-
sonality made by so psycholo-
gists under the direction of DR..
