"What Labor Politicians
Need Is A James Farley
TUCKER

They are also trying to unseat
Mr.. Hoffman, but he has such
a safe district that they are
wasting their time and money
and propaganda on him.
What the labor politicians
need is James A. Farley!
EXPERTS: Harry S. Tru-
man. the maligned and misun-
derstood child of the malodorous
Pendergast machine, now suf-
fers politically because of one
of the finest instincts he has
shown as President of the Unit
ed States. He has appointed too
many non-political and career
experts to the Cabinet, to the
diplomatic corps and to equally
high offices in independent ag-
encies at Washington.
Not since the establishment of
Civil Service has any Chief Ex-
ecutive, including predecessors
who won acclaim for their sup
posed advocacy of the merit sys-
tenn, named so many qualified
men to important posts.
His cabinet reeks with them
Marshall, Forrestal, Snyder,
Krug, Donaldson, Sawyer,
Brannan, Lilienthal etc. His only
real political appointee was
Maurice Tobin of Boston as Sec
rotary of Labor. He has prom
oted veterans in the Foreign Ser
vice instead of honoring prospec-
tive wealthy, campaign contribu-
tors.
HELP: But these men are of
small help to him, now that he is
faced with defeat and needs
every nickel and every ounce of
political or popular support.
None of his top appointees are
multi-millionaires, nor even For
restal. None OF them command
a powerful political mob, or can
deliver spine-shivering speech.
He is surrounded by men who
may be expert in their particular
governmental fields, but who are
no more than dollar-a-night sup
ers on the political stage. His
two ablest spokesmen-Secretar-
les Marshall and Forrestal-will
not participate in the campaign
because of tie non-partisan natur
of their assignments, and it is
to Mr.. Humans credit that he
agrees to their political abb
Stinence.
INVOLVED: President Tru-
mans experience with one of his
newest Cabinet recruits-Secre-
tary of Commerce Charles Sawy-
er of Ohio-dramatizes the White
House predicament wildly and
poignantly.

for what's called the earliest U. S. railway The
track three miles long, was built to haul granite
from Quincy quarres for Bunker Hill Monument.
Motive power for the cars was horses. When
the first railroads for passengers were opened in
1880, the cars were originally pulled by horses
and the experiment of using sails was made.
Back in 1886, Oliver Evans of Philadelphia
had proposed steam-carriages on highways. He
got permission to use Maryland roads for expert
ments, and in 1889 was issued patent by the
State of Maryland on steam road-vehicle. Sub
sequently, he built and demonstrated a scow on
wheels, the first amphibian vehicle He aroused
little interest in the U. S., one reason being that
it had few improved highways or streets, and
efficient operation Of the steam-cars depended
on good roadbedS The railroads, when they came
were simply an endeavor to get wagons out Of
the mud. The early railroad builders thought
as did stage-coach operators, in terms of horses
Though Evans vehicles were not successful,
they paved the way for success of others. Richard
Ihevlthlcks road locomotive, the first to run
on rails in England was modelled after Evans
machine In England, the situation was different.
1t had good highways for steam-cars to use. But
owners OF turnpikes and stage lines had laws
passed barring the power vehicles from high
ways. So sponsors of road-engines had to build
their own roads, to use them to haul freight.

The issue over which to have
a showdown with the Russians
is not, I think, over Berlin or
any other secondary question.
Neither Berlin, Western Un-
ion, Palestine nor any other SUBJ
ordinate question is the burning
issue for mankind. The burn
ing issue is how to abolish war
not how to prevent a war but
how to make any war i'm

$4,000 NeaV Beds
Urged IN Fight
ON Tuberculosis

The need for $4,000 additional
beds for the tuberculous in the
United States is being delighted
I by the result of mass case finding
programs, DR.. James J. Feffer. vice.
president of the District Tubercu-
losis Association, declared last night.
Dr.. Feffer, VINO addressed the
fourth annual donor banquet of the
Washington intermediate Group of
Jewish Consumptives Relief Society
of Denver, Colo, credited the sana-
torium movement with having con-
tributed in no small measure to the
decline Of tuberculosis mortality In
the past so years.
He particularly praised the work
being done by the j. G. r. S. non
sectarian sanatorium at Denver, and
told the. group their support Is q
logical expression Of the realiza-
ton that tuberculosis is q public
health problem.
In stressing the need for beds, DR..
Feffer declared, These beds must
be furnished with the utmost speed.
We can expect that demands on the
already existing institutions will in
crease with the acceleration of the
case finding programs"
DR.. Feffer also called for support
OF the Washington Chest X-Ray
Survey, which he termed "the larg-
est city.Wide chest X-ray survey
ever attempted"
The speaker, who Is a member OF
the Citizens Committee for the
Chest x-Ray Survey, declared,
never before in the history Of the
world has q group of people Of the
size of metropolitan washington
been exposed to the best means yet
devised for discovering tuberculosis"
He pointed out that in 1916, the
tuberculosis death rate in the Dis
trict was 62.3 per 100000, which
he said was almost double the
national rate of 35.9. He also de-
clared that contrary to popular
opinion, the actual incidence OF
tuberculosis is almost as high in the
white race as 1t is in the Negro race.
OF the 4,217 known cases in the
District in 1916, he said, 2.189 were
white and 2,028 were nonwhite.
Careful estimates also show that
there are in addition approximately
5000 unknown cases, the speaker
pointed out. TN other words" he
asserted, approximately so previ-
ously unknown cases of tuberculosis
will be discovered each day during
the five months during which this
survey is to be carried on"
DR.. Feffer stressed the costly ef-
fects Of tuberculosis to the commu-
nifty, not only in expensive medical
care but also in loss of wages during
the long treatment and rehabilita-
ton periods, and the tremendous
economic loss occasioned by the
deaths Of people in their most pro-
ductive years.
More than 400 attended the ban
quet which was held at the May
flower Hotel.

|Barucb Plan Hailed
By Porter Before
W ellesley club
Bv Frances Lide

If Congress should adopt q policy
OF trying to eat its cake and have
| 1t too" on the imitation issue, the
country is headed for a depression
within the next year or SO that will
make 81 and '29 look like picnic, "
Paul Porter, former OPA admins
traitor, predicted yesterday.
Mr.. Porter, who. addressed We'll
lesley Club luncheon, lauded the IL
point program presented by Ber-
nard M. Baruch before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, and
said 1t Is difficult to see how it
could be opposed by any one who
makes study Of economics.
The speaker frankly said he was
doubtful that Congress would enact
the Baruch proposal. Should anti
imitation measures become the vic
tim of partisan short sightedness, I"
however, he expressed the hope
there would be a resurgence of puba
lie opinion that would motivate Con-
gress to take up such suggestions as
the Baruch plan to bring prices
down and carry out commitments
to Europe.
Mr.. Porter emphasized that the
Baruch plan calls for sacrifices
from every element" Of the popu-
lation. Should its provisions for
rolling back prices be- adopted, he
said he wanted 1t clearly under
stood he would not be a candidate
for the job Of price administrator.
Referring to his previous role as
price administrator, the speaker
laughingly called himself a false
prophet" as he revised prediction
he once made in connection with
the future prices Of meat, Ii price
controls were abandoned.
Back in 1916, when was holding
my finger in the dixie, as the last
price administrator" he recalled, II
predicted that, without controls, the
price of meat would double"
Declaring that such a conservative
prediction made him false prophet,
Mr.. Porter went on to predict that
by next spring the place to look for
meat will not be in the butchers
shop. by then, we will see meat
supplies displayed in Cartier's on
velvet cases." he said.
The speaker, who served as head
of the American economic mission
to Greece last winter, also discussed
conditions there. While American
efforts In Greece have not sue
ceeded, he asserted, the program
can be justified for its negative
achievement" of preventing Greece
from capitulating to the Communist
orbit.
He stressed the seriousness Of de-
cisions on further military commit
ments and declared that more than
American prestige is involved"
The club president, Mrs. Hugh
Perrin, presided at the luncheon,
which was held at the YWCA. Mrs.
Porter was among those at the
speakers table and guests included
the local presidents of several other
college alurnnae groups.
