Stern Action Needed

Western Union employees in New
York struck yesterday as previously
announced. The nations wire communi-
cations system is under q handicap,
especially with foreign countries. The
prospect is that the strike will spread
to other population centers, bringing
additional stoppages.
Meanwhile Washington has little
hope that the White House will do any
thing to halt present strikes or head
off strikes scheduled for next week in
the steel, packing and electrical in
dustries.
The greatest Of these Is the steel
strike, which obviously must bring q
showdown if the United States is to
get back to normal industrial produc-
ton. Suspension of steel production
will be felt from locomotive to needle
manufacturers.
What the White House plans to do
about it is not vouchsafed to the public,
but that there must be some action by
the head of the government is inescap-
able. The nation can only hope the
President has the courage and displays
the qualities Of leadership he exhibited
in the first months of his administra-
ton to find the cure needed without
surrender.ng to labor out of hand.

Brain Trust For Congress

All things considered, perhaps Con-
gress hasn't done 80 badly after all.
This is not to give that august body a
clean bill. It has made many mistakes
both of commission and commission.
But it has had lot of work to do. what
with tax bills and one thing and an
other, besides its members fondness
for battle zone travel and contradictory
demands for legislation.
Probably close examination of its
activities in trying circumstances would
show that it could have done a lot worse.
Because Congress has had to work
fast and often without sufficient back
ground its decisions have not been as
commendable as possible. Now it pro-
poses to eliminate this handicap by
creating brain trust of it's own, which
is to be commissioned to do research
work almost on an unlimited schedule,
and intends to have half a million dol
lars a year to support its research group
which will have at least twenty-five ex-
perts and working force of two hum
dred.
DIR. Ernest S. Griffith, who is direc-
tor of the unit, believes this will be
enough money and large enough staff
to accomplish the purpose in mind.
There are to be five top experts,
four of whom are already at work. They
are Francis Wilcox, expert in foreign
affairs and international relations;
Raymond Manning, whose forte is taxa
ton; James P. Radigan whose special
field is federal law, and Gustav Peck,
labor expert. With Doctor Griffith,
and the fifth man still to be selected,
these gentlemen and their assistants
will have working quarters in the Lii
brary of Congress Legislative Refer
ence Service.
When Congress desires specific in
formation it will be their duty to pro-
vide it forthwith. If the program works
out as anticipated, the half million dol
lar appropriation ought to be satisfac-
tory to the hardest-pinched taxpayer.

Death For Kidnaper

Contemporary with the closing phase
OF prohibition and following it's aban-
donment, wave of kidnapping swept
the country. It reached such proper
lions that parents of young children,
whether wealthy or not, felt their off
spring were never safe out of their
sight.
Now that there is a crime wave in
the wake Of the war, kidnapping is again
on the increase. The heart must be of
stone that does not throb with anger
for the person who stole little Suzanne
Degnan in Chicago and after demand
ing $4,000 ransom, tossed the childs
severed head into the Chicago river.
Under the Lindbergh law kidnapping
is capital offense. Because the gallows
or the electric chair is at the end of the
kidnap trail for captured perpetrators
the crime was all but eradicated fol
years. It's revival suggests that recent
cases have been committed by persons
so young that both the Lindbergh baby

Just to invoke a nostalgia tear,
there was time when the kitchen
was the honey gathering place Of
the family, especially of Saturday
nights and cold, crisp wintry morn
ings.
1t was the place, if you recall,
where you pulled those black ribbed
long stockings over the bunchy
ankles of long underwear those
few minutes you were hurrying
to get ready to 60 to school. And
where, on those Saturday nights,
the bowl was placed for the regular
weekly scrubbing.
It was, too, the place where the
large colored woman cooked up
such matters as country ham and
eggs, hot cakes, hot biscuits, grits,
and maybe a fried chicken or SC
for the kind Of breakfast that is
now strictly legendary.
The kitchen, in those days, was
symbol Of family life, hearty and
coy.
In the lovely postwar world that's
coming, if the boys in the shop
ever get down to work, the kitchen
will be just another pushbuttor
affair.

to call on the distaH side around
Wilmington to see what the women
folks think about such revolution
airy goings on in the kitchen.
To a person, I'm compelled to
report, the streamlined kitchen
presents a bright spot on the post
war horizon.
Miss Allie Morris Fechtig, who
headed Red Cross production work
here during the war, looks forward
with much enthusiasm to what is
promised in the way Of kitchens.
Miss Fechtig, however, seems in
trigued more by the scientific
arrangement Of cabinets than by
the projected gadgets expected to
do everything in the way OF prepar-
ing food.
THE way they've worked out
kitchen spaces and the small,
compact cooking arrangements will
make the preparation Of meals a
pleasure-almost," Miss Fechtig
tells you.
There is a little matter that Miss
Fechtig tells you, however, that
makes you wonder whether she
really needs all these new-fangled
gadgets. She still has the same
two good servants she's had for
the last 10 or Is years. That, it
would seem, constitutes some sort
Of record.
Mrs. P. r. Smith, who lives in
Forest Hills and who lets you in
on the secret that her husband
likes to do bit of puttering around
the kitchen, himself, looks to the
streamlined kitchen with something
Of a glow, but admits that Mr..
Smith will probably be the most
interested in the upcoming appli-
ances.
Mrs. H. E. Longley, Ill N. 18th
street, thinks the idea of stream
lined kitchens is wonderful" She,
too, says that her husband is some
thing of an amateur cook.
THE new streamlined kitchens, 1"
Mrs. Longley tells you, will be
a boon. I don't think we should
expect ever again to be able to
get the type of servants we once
were able to get. I just don't think
they're going to come back. II

with the servant situation and all

Mrs. McGirt, though, said:

in such a hurry. I think I rather
like the idea of cooking my vege-
tables a long time, and with a

country ham cooked with the
collards"
This last item stopped me. At
first, I'd planned a panegyric on
the cleaning white kitchens that
are coming.
But, somehow. pot Of collards
with a nice hunk of country ham
oozing its juices into the emerald
leaves and maybe with a few corn
meal dumplings therein would seem
out Of place to me trying to bubble
away on one Of those ranges with
an electric eye surrounded by
another gadget guaranteed to wisp
away all odors.
