I pend on business conditions and' the attitude of congress In the I I coming session. i The O’Mahoney-Borah bill, which , has been gaining considerable con|giesslonal support, would provide for issuance of federal licenses to interstate corporations, thus re qulring them to live up to certain fair trade practices. These prac ! Hees would Include regulation of I wages and hours of labor, prevention of exploitation of investors and prevention of combinations in restraint of trade. "The bill would be selt-enforc- 1 ing," O'Mahoney explained, "and would prevent violations of the present anti trust laws rather than depend on punishment after violaI tlons. It is not true that business is' afraid of such legislation. When the subject has been fully developed you will find business favors i it." Neither O'Mahoney nor Borah would comment on the possibility of administration backing for the bill, which will be pressed as soon as congress meets in January. One congressional friend of the administration's anti-monopoly ! campaign, however, disclosed a sidelight on the presidents past experience with monopolistic tendencies. He recalled that during the congressional debate over the NRA ; legislation early in the new deal, a strong senate bloc fought the; provision suspending the anti-trust laws. Administration representatives went to capitol hill to explain to the opposition, he said, that big business contended it would not be able to cooperate un- , less the provision were left intact, i Finally, Gen. Hugh Johnson, the first NRA administrator, and several congressmen were invited to the White House to discuss the j problem and Mr. Roosevelt assured them he was as much opposed to monopoly as any of them. "But,” he added, “I can control tnonopoloy under the NRA codes." i As a resu't, the measure watt enacted and experience proved that it was impossible to curb monopoly ' by such a method, the congressI man added. 0 j Big Dance New Year’s Eve (Friday) — Sunset.

It’s wrong tor you and me! it s wrong for Dick ... and Julie, too!” Millicent looked at her hands, not trusting herself to speak for a few minutes.

GOV.TOWNSEND PRAISES WILSON I Delivers Address At Wilson Dav Banquet At Winchester Winchester. Ind.. Dec. 29—(U,R> > Gov. M. Clifford Townsend declar-l ed In a Wilson Day address lust j 'plight that President Roosevelt's 1 "new deal" is a fulfillment of i Woodrow Wilson's "principle of i I the new freedom." "Woodrow Wilson represented I democracy in thought and phllo-I I I sophy. while Franklin D. Roose-1 1 velt represents democracy in ac-1 ■ tion,” Townsend said. 1 "The prophecy of Woodrow Wilson has become the law and spirit i of the land, and the new deal is ■ here to stay." ■ Townsend declared that “just as i the principle of the new freedom was violently attacked, so has the , new deal faced the opposition of . a bitter minority, it seems strange to me that there should be people venomously opposed to human . rights, yet there are. "The new deal has weathered many storms. It has piloted the ; craft of state safely, and it will bring it through to the home port , of national security. Those who beat the drums of fear will be repudiated again." President Wilson possessed a ' keen analythical mind, a mind that understood the social structure of the nation and tried to correct the I abuses that “even then were I gnawing away at the social and ! economic roots of America." 1 , Townsend said. -1 "He pitted his belief in democ-i I racy against an octopus of big • business that was strangling the worker, farmer and small business j man in the grip of monopoly. He fought to liberate the common man ' from the tentacles of greed." FIRST AUCTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) weeks. Free entertainment, prizes and merchandise of all kinds are prora-

hurt himself, insulating himself against Julie’s possible refusals. He couldn't tell her that pride had kept him from asking Julie to his college parties. He couldn’t tell her that an empty purse and a shabby dinner jacket had forced him to be proud. "Junes going to turn out aii right,” Millicent was saying. “You can’t see her as I do because you are her own age. A girl who has extraordinary beauty and no mother. Tommy, is not to be judged like the rest of us. She has much and also lacks much. It may make her seem hard, but that’s only because she is already fighting for something, pro-

tecting herself against the disappointments of life without knowing them. You’re hard in the same way but I don’t suppose you’d thought of that.” “I know her, Millicent,” he answered doggedly. “I know her better than anyone else in the world. Wo]] ”he got up and twisted his mouth into a grin “—what about those errands?” “Will you stop at the florist shop and pick up some flowers for me? And will you stop at Julie’s house and pick her up? I told her I’d send Peter over with the car but I have things for him to do.” His glance was a protest. Then his eyes fell before the steadiness—perhaps it was courage—in hers. “Okay,” he said. “It’s nearly half nast twelve. I shall fetch her at i once.” (To be continued) CopFTifht by llkri* Blkard I Diluted bf MM Fmukm Syndicate. Iml
