Capital Spotlight: The Outlook In Congress

Democrat, James e. Murray, Mon
tana Democrat, Robert F. Wag-
ner, New York Democrat, William
LANCER, North Carolina Republi-
can, and Arthur Capper, Kansas
Republican have sponsored COM
panion bill. Senator Ebert D.
Thomas of the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor has ap-
pointed Chavez chairman of a
special subcommittee to hold
hearings on the bill-and that too
will not begin before the heat
grows less intense.
There is very little hope that
the bills will go through the
House and Senate without bitter
opposition from the Southern del
egations, but there is, thanks to
the power of that fateful Tuesday
in November, high hope that they
will be passed and that discrim-
ination in employment will at
least be penalized.
With Senator Guy Gillette,
Iowa Democrat, speaking publicly
for the setting up of additional
refugee shelters in the United
States, it is a possibility that his
bill, on which the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee postponed
action at his request, will be
brought up for consideration a.
gain before November. In the
House, the bills of seven congress-
men who introduced legislation
for free ports" is before the
House immigration Committee,
but only pressure from interested
groups can effectuate the sched-
uling of hearings to replace those
cancelled before Congress laid off
for the summer.
Considering the unanimity with
which both parties supported the
opening of Palestine to unrestrict-
ed Jewish immigration and colon
ization, and the long-awaited
Harvesting of Turkey to the Allied
cause, Zionists consider it not un-
likely that Congress will act this
fall to urge Great Britain to re-
consider it's White Paper policy.
Still being kicked around is the
Lynch bill to ban from the mails
racial and religious defamations.
Proponents plan to make a last
effort to save the measure but
admit they have little hope OF
success.

LETTER BOX


August 3, 1914
Mrs. Isadore Moscovitz, Editor
Southern Jewish Monthly
P. o. Box 9O3
Jacksonville, Fla.
Dear Mrs. Moscovitz:
May I say a few words Il refer
ence to the editorial 1.-THE Protest
ant Magazine" in your July issue.
THE PROTESTANT pleads
guilty to fighting a relentless,
aggressive and about war against
clerical-Fascism and anti-Semit-
ism. If our attack against these
undemocratic elements embar-
raises the American Jewish Com
mittee, the Anti-Defamation
League and the Jewish Labor
Committee, we are indeed sorry
sorry that section of the Amer
lean Jewish community permits
these Jewish organizations to rep
resent Jewish interests in this
country.
THE PROTESTANT is more
than a magazine. It is a move
ment that has succeeded in enlist
ing the support and cooperation of
close to 5000 Christian ordained
ministers. These ministers have
pledged themselves to fight anti
Semitism as a Christian sin, and
they are performing this task to
the best of their ability. 1t may
also interest you to know that
many of our Christian ministerial
associates are supplementing their
valuable work with financia
contributions through collections
in their respective churches.
1t is quite possible that a large
percentage of our financial sup
port comes from Jews. We have
never attempted to classify oul
contributors into Aryans and non
Aryans according to Hitlers pat
tern. We do not demand any
Identification cards from oul
friends and supporters. We ask
for the support of all men of gooc
will irrespective of institutiona
affiliation.
THE PROTESTANT does no
accept any subsidy whatsoeve
from any organized Jewish group
In this we differ from other Chris
tan groups who enjoy the finan
cial support and approval OF these
very same Jewish organization:
who are attacking us.
1 would appreciate publication
of this short statement.
Very sincerely yours,
Kenneth Leslie

CONGRESS TAKES
AN INVENTORY

1t is interesting and cheering to learn
that congress at last has set up a mir
rof and Is taking a good look at itself
as revealed in the report of a special
house group.
The report discloses that the members
of a special committee made frank
study of congress in action; undertook
to analyZe in a dispassionate way the var
ious criticisms aimed at the methods of
operation and results obtained
That there has been some caustic things
said about congress as whole may be
charged to congress itself leaving the way
open for adverse comment. This the
house committee admits and goes on to
assert helpful criticism always will be
welcomed. That sounds "bromidish' and.
as always, it is one of the human frail-
ties to resent criticism of any kind.
Even the most severe critics will tenn
per their outbursts if congress will get
back to being an Independent government
tai body and so function. The tendency
to 'baIk" has been too apparent in the
18th congress, now about to expire. 1t
has been vulnerable for doing and not
doing" The public will condone errors
if there is the proper spirit shown to cor
rect such errors. But. unfortunately,
there are matters long calling for read
justments that congress has by-passed.
But perhaps the most potent of actions
drawing criticism is the periodical be-
moaning by congress of usurpation Of
power by the executive department; of
misinterpretation and mis-administration
of acts passed by congress. This has been
carried on to such an extent that the pub
lie can not be blamed if it doubts the sin
cerity of the members in these outbursts.
This house body offers some construc-
tive suggestions as to betterment of
the mechanics of both houses. 1t reviews
the use of committees to study measures
and do the sitting. Obviously this meth
cd has become more and more cumber-
some and members justly complain that
committee work takes them away from
the floor so much of the time
The survey, among other things, leans
toward plan whereby both houses may
create expert research departments, of
personnels outside their memberships.
The report indicates that congress
studiously is undertaking to evolve some
plan to expedite the peoples business.
To this extent. at least, encouragement is
seen i'm its actions

A LACK OF YAK, ALACK

(Christian Science NOntOr)
Well what now? In the midst of a
promising season this had to happen. 1t
does seem as though our problems pile
up. No clothespins, no golf tees-and
now this: No more yak wool to make
theatrical wigs. (You remember the yak
in the nursery rhyme. Of course: ~ IS
for yak, with a hump on his back, }
There is no scarcity Of yaks up on the
high plains of Tibet. But the Tibetans
see no point in cutting Bos grunniens
long hair if it cannot be shipped.
Perhaps the challenge to use native
product will prove Occidental self-Suf-
ficiency. We don't want our theater cur
tailed And somehow we just can't see
Hamlet or Macbeth or Richard Ill with
a crew haircut.

VENERABLE DEFENDERS
Riverside Daily PreSS)

(RlVerSlde DAILY PreSS)
What is our oldest defense organlza-
ton? Apparently the United States Mar
inc Corps, which has Just celebrated its
169th anniversary. 1t is older than the
government itself. Its creation was or
ganized by the Continental Congress IN
the year 1775 Ever since that time it has
been engaged in hard and dangerous jobs
for the country. Its anniversary brought
forth this noble statement:
I'VE honor the memories of the men
who have fallen in the advance. They
fell going forward. Long after the total
victory for which they died is won, they
will remain heroically alive in the hearts
of their comrades and in the legends of
the corps.
The coming year will be a supreme
test. In it wait our hardest battles. Let
no one underrate the power of the en-
emy. Our men, with their brothers in
arms in all branches of the service, look
ahead with grim confidence. not because
Of enemy weakness but because Of our
own proven strength.

EISENHOWER TO SOLVE
HITLER mystery"

While batteries of writers and psyche
analysts are trying to trace Hitler to his
hide-out and to sove the mystery sur
rounding the recent silence of the former
fuehrer, General Ike Isenhower is going
about that business in the only logical
way to find out-smash on through and
either chase the war culprit out of Ger
many or capture him.
All of which suggests what most every
body has been thinking-that too much
emphasis on Hitler and not enough con-
centration on what he represents If
there is such a thing as psychology in
war, the harping on the individual Hitler
has helped build him up as a martyr to
the Germans and to induce even greater
worship of the man, thus giving the Ger
man people the very urge they need to
fight on in the hopeless belief they can
win.
There are loop-holes, of course, for
Hitler and his brigade of killers to slip
out of the country, but just now the only
one apparent is to the north into Sweden
or Norway Eisenhower has six armies
tightening the vice on the western wall
from Cologne to the Vosges. Stain keeps
the east line sewed up, while there isn't
much left across the Alps

legs of the spear. With the fall of Buda-
pest imminent, the last hope of Hitler to

ONLY ROAD TO PEACE

1t is only through the establishment of

peace in the world will be no more secure

The supreme court has invalid

munity property system under
which married persons in that state
may divide their total incomes in
filing federal income tax returns.

surtaX brackets than if it was re-
ported on a single return.
The federal government had ap-
realed from a tenth circuit court
of appeals ruling that the Oklahoma
law was not III conflict with the
internal revenue statutes
SEVEN TO TWO DECISION
The high court reversed the dec
ision, 7 to 2 Justice Owen J. Rob-
trtS were the majority opinion.
Justice William o. Douglas dissen-
ted. joined by Justice Hugo L..
Black.
The internal revenue bureau
claimed a tax deficiency of Sill ,029
for 1889 against C. c. Harmon, Of
Nowata. Oklahoma. but the lower
court refused to allow the claim.
Under the Oklahoma law. hus-
band and wife may elect to come
under the community property sys-
tenn and split their income on a
$3.50 basis. Harmon and his wife
made such an election, and filed
separate income tax returns.

The government argued that the
law was passed so that Oklahomans
miqht gain tax advantages Okla
hcma attorneys contended that tax
inequalities among the states, if
any exist. must be ironed out BY

Two years ago oregon enacted a
similar community property law.
Eight other states-Washingto

Nor will winter become the ally Hitler
counted upon in directing his mass coun-
terattacks on the west. The Allies are
equipped for winter fighting far better
than the Germans, now A starving Ger
many is another peril Hitler can't satisfy
much longer and thus another ally will
be in the field.
Barring almost the impossible that
might arise. it appears that the stage is
set for the final act and that it will be
brief one.
