demagogs and dictators."
Mr.. Burch hastens to add that
poorer environment does not neces-
sarily mean lower intelligence
There are many in the lowest third
who are more intelligent, he says
than persons in the highest third.
But taken as a whole the latter
highest) third seems to have
proved its greater intelligence as
far as getting ahead in traditional
American institutions :.
Furthermore, regardless of in
telligence, when one third of the
Nations population most poorly
equipped is having twice as high
birth rates as it's economically best

to create grave economic problems. .

ously, a sincere young man was
asking me a question, the answer tc
which might have an effect on his
whole life. Finally, I decided what
to tell him.
You'll probably be surprised a,
the career I chose for the youngster
I didn't tell him to be Senator
despite the fact that the job is good
for six years, no matter what the
Senator does during those six years
I didn't tell him to take up law
medicine, boxing or crapshooting.
I didn't tell him, la Greeley, to
go West, North, South or East.
Advised to Become Horse.
What I told him was this:
Become a race horse.
Yes, I repeat-become a race
horse.
There is no shorter cut to the
things the young man desires-fame
and fortune-than to live in a stall
at Belmont, Santa Anita, Narra-
gansett, or any of the other dozens
of tracks, and make occasional ap-
pearances at distances ranging from
three furlongs to two miles and up.
Consider, If you will, couple of
horses now operating on the tracks
of this country. One is Assault,
the other is Stymie. Those two race
horses have not reached an age,
judged by human standards, where
they can be expected to hold a spoon
in the correct manner. Neither one
speaks a word of English. Neither
one knows the alphabet even, and

American Intelligence appears to
be declining at the rate of meas
urement points every so to go years,
the bulletin of the Population Ref
erence Bureau says.
This creates dangerous political
and economic problems, it adds.
The decline, writes Director Guy
Irving Burch of this private scien-
tif1c foundation, is due to the wide
difference in birth rates between the
upper and lower economic groups,
and in opportunity and environment.
1.-THE lowest third of our popula-
ton is having about twice as many
children as the highest third" he
says.
He uses 1910 census figures to show
that college-educated women past
child-bearing age have had one and
one-half children, compared with
four and one-third children for
women who had only one to four
years of grade school.

Burch writes, there are no exact

IF all individuals experienced
equality of opportunity, intelligence

ment tests such as educational at

Of occupation.
But it goes without saying that
individuals do not have the same
environment and opportunity :.
"The evidence that persons with
los below so, or even below 10, do
not have, or are prevented from
having, excessively large families,
is not reassuring. Borderline feeble
minded, and dull and backward par
ents, do have much larger families
than parents with 10 ratings that
are considered normal or super
ior.'

consumption in the same period,
however, Russia broadcast the fol-
lowing items:
A commentary in Arabic to the
Near and Middle East that the
United States seeks domination over
the aviation in that area.
A commentary in French noting
a conservative trend among the
French Socialists.
A commentary in Hungarian
charging that the terms of the
American loan will make the United
States the ruler of Turkey.
A commentary in German charg-
ing that the Austrian Economic
League is preventing recovery in
that country by serving the interests
of American businessmen.
Marshall's Words Distorted.
A commentary in English taking
note Of Secretary of State Marshall's S
statement to the governors confer
ence on the political objects of
American aid to Europe and distort-
ing the meaning Of his words.
A quotation from New Times
magazine, broadcast in Hungarian,
denying the existence of atomic
cities' in Russia.
A commentary in Hungarian con-
tending that Hungary had nothing
to gain from participation in the
Paris economic conference.
A commentary in German charg-
ing that the terms of the American
loan to Austria stifed the latter's
independence and violates the Mos
COW declaration on Austria.
A commentary in Polish linking
Gen. Charles de Gaulle to the crea-
ton Of a Western bloc in Europe.
This is run-of- mime selection of
topics from both the Russian home
service and its program to Euro
pean and Near Eastern listeners, but
it reveals certain very definite points
in relation to the Marshall Plan.
First, the theme of the home
broadcasts is not one of alarm at
progress of the Marshall Plan, but
of certainty that it is useless and
will fail.
Second, the home broadcasts do
not permit the Marshall Plan to mo-
nopolize any great part of the total
program time, thus playing down
the Importance of the plan for the
Russian listener.
Third, in the European and Near
Eastern pr0f~ranoS tho oeraro1 idoo
of American economic aid to Europe
and designs on European countries
take up practically all Of the sub
jects dealt with.
Fourth, the tone of these programs
in dealing with the Marshall Plan
is one of attack and argument
against 1t. with constant repetition
of the points made at Paris and a
self-serving distortion Of the words
Of American officials in an effort to
undermine the foreign listeners con-
fidence in American aid.

Senate's Use of Confirmation Power
Held Usurpina Presidents Rights

him a representative of the entire
country.
There is also the case of Robert
F. Jones, whom the President (whose
chronic complaint is that he cannot
get high-class men to accept public
of1ce) had seen fit to nominate for
the Federal Communications Com
mission. Only President Truman
knows why he withdrew the nomi-
nation of the highly qualified and
experienced Ray c. Wakefield after
it had been sent to the Senate, and
substituted for him such a man as
Mr.. Jones. AS member Of the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Jones
has been an uninspiring political
hack. But he was Representative,
a Republican this time, so that, de-
spite his lack OF qualifications, he
was confirmed by acclamation.
The Senate seems more disposed
to reward mediocrity, especially
congressional mediocrity, than it
does to permit the President to ex-
ercise his constitutional right to ap-
point administrative officers whose
qualifications the. Senate ought to
pass on without prejudice, solely
from the point of view of ability and
character.
Take the case of Francis Biddle,
who served with distinction, both as
a judge on the United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals and as Attorney
General, to mention only two of the
posts that he has filled, with credit
both to himself and to his country.
Senator Vandenberg, who had pre-
viously blocked the appointment OF
Mark F. Ethridge to administer the
$500, ,O00,0 900 voted for Greece, ar
bitrarily refrained from presenting
Mr.. Biddle's name to his committee,
with the result that Mr.. Biddle re-
quested the President to withdraw
his name. Here was one man ar
rogating to himself the right to
deny confirmation to a man who
had been conspicuously able pub
lie servant as well as an outstand-
ing citizen. Senator Vandenberg
objected to both Ethridge and Bid
die because they were "New
Dealers" a particularly vague
charge that does not specify any
disqualifications.
Since the Republicans, because
of their control of the Senate, exer-
else an absolute veto over the
power of the President to appoint,
they should be doubly careful not
to abuse that power. The tests
which the Senate ought to apply to
any presidential appointee are
three: Is he honest? Is he loyal to
his country? Is he equal to the job?
To 60 further than this means
that the Republicans have taken
their ascension to power last year
as a mandate to staff the executive
branch of the Government. Under
our constitutional system, they will
have no such mandate until they
win the Presidency.

the usurpation of executive power
by the Congress.
The evils resulting from the
usurpation of power by either the
legislative or the executive branch
may be different in their immediate
results, but in the long run both
hurt the governed. When the ex-
ecutive grabs more power than
rightfully belongs to him, the Gov
ernment moves-it gets things done
but too frequently it moves with
out due consideration. When the
Congress is in the saddle, measures
that ought to be taken are not
taken-things just don't get done
The Government moves too slowly
and the delay takes its toll among
the governed.
Confirmation Power Misused.
BY far the most frequent and fla
grant invasion of executive rights
and powers by the Senate lies in
the gross and cynical misuse of the
power to confirm presidential ap-
pointments.
1t has been automatic for years
that the Senate will confirm any
sitting member of Congress, re-
gardless of party, for any office for
which the President might nomi-
nate him. 1t has the same weak
ness for any lame duck who, even If
only briefly, has been a member OF
Congress. 1t assumes, or insists
upon bestowing on every one who
mas taken the oath as a member
of Congress, every Christian virtue,
high intellectual qualities, and great
probity of character.
The Republican Senate even con-
firmed recently for a place on the
Customs Court, one Jed Johnson, a
Democratic lame duck from Okla
homa, whom it never would have
thought of confirming if he had not
served as a member of the House
until his constituents caught up with
him. The fact that the voters ir
his congressional district decided
that he was not a fit representative
did not matter. "The people be
damned" said the Senate, as it made

bring bushes of shame to their
cheeks.
I But they're doing all right, baby.
Each has made more than half a
million dollars, and probably will
make close to a million before
they're through. And, Of course,
they'll be through before they're
as much as seven years old. Then
they can look forward to many
years of nothing rougher than eat
ing clover, hay a la caviar, and hav-
ing a half dozen humans spend
their lives making them comfort
able.
More Famous Than President.
Fame is one thing the young man
who wrote me cares about.
Okay, let me ask you this: If DR..
Gallup asked America to identify
Man O. War and James Polk, do you
think more Americans would know
of Polk than Man O War? Ger
tainly not, despite the fact that one
was a President of the United States
and one was race horse.
Fortune?
There are millions and millions
Of us Americans who work like the
devil to keep our heads above the
economic waters. We work every
day, all day, and still wind up with
practically nothing.
But not the race horse. He is con-
sidered overworked If he goes to the
post two or three times a month;
and going ito the post" means that
he will have to work something like
two minutes.
So, 7 told the young man who
sought my advice to become race
horse; to 60 out and borrow himself
a brown or chestnut coat, set of
large ears, q nicely cut name, and
all the other things that a horse has,
and apply for a job with Ben Jones,
Make Hirsch, Hirsch Jacobs, John
Partridge, or any of the other top
trainers.
The next thing he knows, he'll be
rich, have his name in headlines,
and be in a position to retire, not
only with lot of money, but with
the plaudits of the multitude ring
ing in his ears.
I think I'll coin a new phrase,
which will be the opposite Of the
phrase "a dogs life" Here it is:
A race horses life.
