Votes Today on First
Constitution Since '33
by The Assoeiat.d Press

STUTTGART, Germany, Nov. az.
|--Wuerttemberg-B Baden Germans In
the American zone will vote tomor-
row on the first Democratic con-
stitution presented to German
voters In the Is years since Adolf
Hitler destroyed the Weimar Re-
public.
More than l,850,OO0 Germans are
eligible to vote yes" or mo. on the
proposed constitution. The state is
largely rural and strongly religious.
First Of Three States.
Wuerttemberg- Baden is the first
of three states in the American
zone Of Germany to vote on con-
stitution and when Bavaria and
Greater Hesse follow with referen-
dums December /, the Germans Of
the American zone will have almost
full control in governing themselves
American military government
after December will merely super
wise the decisions Of the Germans
and handle the zones international
relations.
Along with the referendum on
the constitution, the voters Of
Wuerttemberg-B Baden viii elect a
one-house legislature Of 100 dele
gates. The proposed constitution
is based largely on the tenets Of the
Weimar Republic which fell In 1888,
and places strong emphasis on the
protection Of human rights.
Door Open to Specialization.
Insuring workers the right TO
strike and organize, the constitution
also leaves the door open for
socialization Of public utilities and
industry. American political experts
said, however, that immediate
socialization was improbable" in
view Of leftwing party weakness.

the states four major parties-right
and left-had agreed to the draft
that will be voted on.

wartime leader of the Chetniks
who had been hunted for nearly two
years IN the Yugoslav hills by Mar
shall Tito's forces, had been seized

that Mihailovfh, King Peters for

Vishegrad, near the Serbian -Bos-
nian border.
An Official radio broadcast sale
the general was captured in 6
mountain cave guarded by only II
men of his forces, which once were
estimated to total as many az
100000.
"a spokesman for the Yugo-
slav Embassy said here that it
is believed the delay in an

may be explained by the hope
OF the Tito government that some
more of the Chetnik leaders

show up at the cave.)

unjustified the removal of Army
Maj. Gen. Ralph Smith from COM

to Keyes Beech, Chicago Daily News

bitter controversy between the two
services in June, 1914.

The Oil Trust Buckinq Estates Riqhts?"

Much political oratory about the "consttutionally sacred' rights of
the states has been poured out in the long battle over this nations under
sea- oil resources. The bottom of the sea along the coast lines belongs
jurisdiction over it" That has been the argument flung at the Dept. of
Interior, and the Congress, by California, Louisiana, Texas, and a few
other states That has been the issue in a battle that forced, among other
Things, the resignation of Harold Ickes from the Interior secretaryship
AT first glance it sounds like a good, sound, solid argument-yes,. it
sounds that way, unless n stops to analyZe the reasons. Upon closer
examination it falls apart morally, as thoroly a a argument by one of
the Big Four that the United Nations has no right to be critical over the
conduct of internal affairs Of any Of the little nations she dominates.
In this modern industrial age, petroleum is just as much a national
necessity a is rainfall. Would any state have the right, for instance, to
change the course ofa major river, to suit its own dominant industries,
at the expense of the rest of the Nation?
When examined closely, as the co-Ops have been doing lately, the
solid sounding Estates rights argument, in this case, is motivated by
the monopoy-desires of the big Oil firms. The rich companies can, with
control the federal government. In an on-pruducng state, the oil trust
IS usually the dominant economic factOr-in the federal setup, it is
forced to VeW with other big business groups for the control of the gov
eminent.
1t follows, logically, that the oil trust would rather have the state
control the underseas oil reserves along their coastlnes. State control
would give them the right-of-way to monopolistc control and develop
ment.
1t remains to be seen whether the national consumer interest, as
represented by co-ops and other public spirited groups, will win out in
the current Congressional skirnish over the issue. The people can, of
course, win any issue, if they remember to let their Senators and Rep

What Is Happiness?
BY TAISO

The lunchroom gang vas trying the other day to figure out what
happiness consists of. Some said it was physical pleasure, others said
it was mental pleasure, while still other claimed it was a combination of
the two. A sample Of the conversation:
Il say it's freedom from mental strain and worry"
Well, supposing you had a bellyache and were worrying about
overdue bils-youd be pretty miserable, wouldn't your"
81 suppose So"
All right. Supposing then you got a n unexpected gift of money,
enough to pay your bills and have some left over to spend IS you please
Your mental burden would be lifted, but you would still have your belly
ache. Would you be happy?"
No reply. Right there, the conversation was in a blind alley.
If you look around you, you'll find that there ire very poor people
who appear happy. You'll se people who have many things who are
happy, others who are not. You'll find the people who have the most
material wealth are generally dissatisfied, not happy. ThereU be people
who appear happy, yet IRE not happy. Others will look glum, We. they
are happy. Many people will look back at bygone years and realize they
were happy then and didn't know it. You'll find people who are rushing
this way and that, looking for happiness. Others will say happiness
comes to you, finds you wherever you may be without you searching
tor it.
Some people will call momentary pleasures happiness, whilst many
stouty insist that happiness is found only in high forms of cultured
living, in the deepest, forms of art, literature and music.
My boss claims that only inanimate objects rae happy, because they
are devoid O. all feeling. My banker q owe him) says financial security
happiness. My doctor says health is happiness. My butcher asys a nice
steak will make a steak-lover happy.
So O and so forth. My book of quotations gives a hundred different
Perhaps you can tell me. Or perhaps I'll be happier not
knowing what happiness consists of.
