NEW AGE OF COLLECTIVISM EMERGING IN U. S., REPORTS SOCIAL STUDIES COMMISSION Individualism and Laissez-Faire in Economy and Government Passing-; Danger in Regimentation Cited. BY RI'TH FINNEY Timet Special Writer WASHIGTON, May 12.—Are we headed right or left? Right, say business men speaking of the administration with more enthusiasm than at any previous time and discussing the immediate future only. Left, says the commission on social studies in the schools, which has just completed five years of research

sponsored by the American Historical Association. The commission did not refer to President Roosevelt but to a longtime trend which, it believes, is toward an inevitable age of collectivism. Such radical changes in American life are forecast in the report of the commission, made public today, that ever since December attempts have been made to suppress it. It Ls being published at last in several installments but four members of the commission have refused to sign it. It now appears over the signatures of Charles A Beard, retiring president of the American Historical Association; Ada Comstock. RadclifTe college; Avery O. Craven, University of Chicago; Guy Stanton Ford and A. C. Krey of the University of Minnesota; Carleton J. H. Hayes and Henry Johnson of Columbia university; Leon C. Marshall of Brookings institution, and Jess F. Steiner, Lincoln school of New York. Collectivism Is Emerging “Cumulative evidence supports the conclusion that, in the United States, as in other countries, the age of individualism and laissez faire in economy and government is closing and that anew age of collectivism is emerging,” says the report. This form of this new collectivism is yet to be determined but the commission predicts that it will involve “a larger measure of compulsory as well as voluntary co-opera-tion of citizens in the conduct of the complex national economy, a corresponding enlargement of the functions of government, and an increasing intervention in fundamental branches of economy previously let to individual discretion and initiative.” At present and for some lime to rome we will live in an age of conflict and transition, the commission believes. The symptoms it names are easy to recognize; “Privation in the midst of plenty, violations of fiduciary trust, gross inequalities of income and wealth, widespread racketeering and banditry artificiality of political boundaries and divisions, subjection of public welfare to the egoism of private interests disproportionate growth of debt and property claims in relations to production, deliberate destruction of goods and withdrawal of efficiency from production, accelerating tempo of panics, crises and depressions, attended by ever-wider destruction of capital and demoralization of labor, struggles among nations for markets and raw materials leading to wars.” Many Roads to Follow Can we emerge from such tribulations? Only by means of a “consciously integrated society,” according to the report, and the alternative is a drop backward to “a more primitive order of economy and life.” There are many roads we might follow to reach the first goal and it is time to start making a deliberate choice, the commisison warns. It does not mention Fascism or Communism, but it does lay down guiding rules which, it believes, we should cling to in marching toward the future. The commission deems possible and desirable the retention and fulfillment of the historic principles and ideals of American democracy. As an accompaniment of the establishment and maintenance of an economically integrated society and as a means of necessary adjustment to new conditions.” says the report. Individualism Must Go Instead of curbing production or shutting of! future inventions it urges "the most efficient use of material endowment, technical arts and productive skill in raising the standard of living of all.” It suggests that the new civilization combine utility and aesthetics. It secs in the American people cooperative and moral powers of a high order which can be directed into channels of utility and beauty "if acquisitive individualism, with all its cruder manifestations in gambling, speculation, exploitation and racketeering, is subdued to the requirements and potentialities of the emerging society.” It predicts greatly increased opportunities for “cultivation and enjoyment of things of the mind and spirit.” Personal Freedom Urged And here is a warning. While it favors curbing individualism in economy, the commission sees onlydanger in “regimentation in ideas, culture and invention.” It strongly urges that there be left to the individual the "largest possible measure of freedom in the realms of personal and cultural growth,” that the individual must be free from "excessibe social pressures on his personal behavior, mode of living, cultural satisfaction and avocations, the religious, economic and political beliefs.” It asks for mutual toleration of diverse races, religious and cultural groups. It speaks a final word of warning about "narrow, intolerant natk-nalism. and aggressive, predatory imperialism.” The long attempt to suppress the report probably will lead'to its verygeneral discussion. It may have an important effect on the next two vears of the Roosevelt administration. Scirntech Club to Meet H. S. Patterson, chief engineer for the Public Service Company of Indiana, will discuss the federal government’s Tennessee Valley authority and Its operations at a Seientech Club luncheon Monday in the Columbia Club.

The President made plain his determination to keep within his budget estimates of $3,166,000,000. He revealed that unanticipated items such as added veterans’ benefits and restored federal pay. made it necessary for him to reduce the original total designed for relief by $178,000,000. He explained, however, that these “added starters” with an expense totaling approximately $364,000,000 would be paid for out of the $3,166,000,000.

2 EX-CONVICTS FACING MURDER CHARGE IN OHIO Men Nabbed in Richmond Are Suspects in 14 Bank Holdups. Bp United Press SPRINGFIELD. 0., May 12. Captured by police and federal agents in Richmond, Ind., yesterday afternoon, two former convicts today faced murder charges here in connection with the shooting of H. M. Saylor, president of the Farmers’ Deposit bank of nearby iVenna, 0., during a recent holdup. The men are Vernon Taylor, 28. Springfield, and Henry Hopkins, 23, Jamestown, O. Mrs. Thelma Mitchcn, seized with them in Richmond, was held to face robbery charges in connection with the holdup of a gasoline station. The men are suspected of participating in fourteen bank holdups in Ohio in the last seven weeks. Federal agents were called into the case because the pair are believed to have been among those who held up the Fostoria (O.) National bank and fled with more than $15,000 last week. The arrest yesterday in Indiana was sensational. The wanted men had posed as supervisors of a crew of solicitors, but actions of the Mitchen woman had made Richmond police suspjoious. When Taylor drove through a red light, police started chase. He wrecked his car on a deadened road east of Richmond and doubled back through a field. Police surrounded his boarding house and called in the sheriff's office, and federal agents from Indianapolis. Commands to surrender were ignored. A shot was fired by the posse as one of the pair attempted to escape through a window. A federal agent tossed a gas bomb into the house. Weeping, the three came out. The raiding party found more than $603 in cash and a small arsenal. This included four loaded revolvers, all on Taylor's person; two police revolvers, a .32 pistol and a German automatic pistol converted into a submachine gun.
