"THE FACT that Leif Ericson. the courageous Norse sailor, set foot on American soH five hundred years before Christopher Columbus landed on a West Indian island seems not to have impressed the -men who write the textbooks studied by Protestant children in the public Schools of Michigan and Indiana. James Albert Woodhurn and Thomas I-'iancis Moran, two Indiana college professors, knowingly are not. serve the Roman cause to the best of their ability in the history textbooks they have written for public school use. Their "Makers of America" is used in sixth and seventh grade school rooms "in Michigan, their "Introduction to American History" is studied by sixth grade pupils, in Indiana and seventh and eighth grade pupils in Indiana use their "Elementary American History and Government." J" "Elementary American History and Government" they dismiss Ericson with one line, comparing Iihn and Ins brave crew with "a tlocU of sea birds," who "alighted, lingered for a while and then went their way." Thus disposing of the man who first sighted America, the historians turn to Columbus in these words: '"We must now turn to the real discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, the famous Italian navigator."

Musi If Shoals legislation, so far as tin senate is concerned, has been a funny experience, senators having traveled around in a circle, as it were, for six weeks and finally adopting the ITnderwood private leasing measure by a vote of no to 30. This unusual situation was brought nJiout by a legislative tangle almost unprecedented 'in recent years in the upper branch of congress, First the Senate, substituted, 48 to 37, the 1'n derwood bill for the Xorris Governmen tal ownership plan. This wan accomplished by administration senators going to the Underwood ranks. Then, deserting the Underwood bill, administration supporters linked up with progressives and a few Democrats to. kill the Underwood measure by substltutlngfor it the Jones commission plan. Thy vote was 46 to 33. Henator Curtis, of iKansas, Republican leader, warned hi, followers not to desert tfee UndecwoVd bill saying such action would proToVe Democrats Into winging helr strength to the Norrls plan, introduced In fW modified form aa a substitute for thk Jones bill.

THE BEAST

i'lie picture they paint of Columbus is one of a devout Roman Catholic, "who considered himself as an agent chosen by Heaven to accomplish a grand design" They endeavor to show that it was only through theefforts of the Roman church that America was discovered, thereby entitling the Vatican to the L'nited States. Why else do they tell in detail that, it was the prior of the convent at Kabida that interceded with the king and queen of Spain in behalf of Columbus? Why else do they say, on page 15, that "the. hardened, mariners, about to sail, attended mass and went to confession in order to be prepared for the . worst? Why else do they print a picture of Columbus setting sail with a numbei' of Roman churchmen at the wharf to bid him t.odspecd? Prominent by its absence is a statement of the fact that Columbus was cast in prison, through the influence of Roman Catholic dignitaries, and, as a result, "died in poverty, wretchedness and obscurity." The climax is capped with this assertion on page 22: "It would have been more fitting to name the New World 'Columbia' in honor of Christopher Columbus." It matters little.-apparently, that the militant arm of the pope's church in America is named for the man who followed 500 years later in Ericson's footsteps ;md "discovered" America.
