H Seem to Me MBKWBMUN 'T'OLEDO, 0., May 31— An outside agitator came to Toledo the other day, preaching a strange doctrine. His name is Arthur Garfield Hays, and this transient from New York had the audacity to maintain in open court the revolutionary theory that the laws of the United States might be seriously interpreted as checks against the lawlessness, the violence and the coercion of rebel employers. It was a curious situation, since Mr. Hays, in his role of attorney for the American Civil Liberties League, was defending members of the American Workers’ party, Communists and others who despise the new deal and all its workings as just one more capitalistic dodge to enslave the toilers. The task of the lawyer was difficult, since both the forces of opposition and defense were arrayed against him. r J. Arthur Minch, vice-president of the Auto-Lite -

Company, who had been subpenaed to submit to questioning as to his alleged violation of NRA provisions, calmly absented himself from the courtroom all day, and Judge Roy R. Sturat, who presided, flew into a great state of calm about this defiance of his authority. New Thought for Judge. A FEW feet from Arthur Garfield Hays sat Bob Minor of the Communist party, frowning heavily while the attorney sought to shield several of the revolutionary defendants under the shelter of the unwelcome wings of the blue eagle.

Mr. Hays himself did not express a dogmatic conviction that existing machinery would inevitably bring into line the officials of a company which has set itself up as mightier than,.the declared will of the congress and the President. He merely said that unless the court was minded to suppress this revolutionary doctrine of the inside agitators of the AutoLite Company, America might as well abandon its traditional faith in democracy and make a choice between fascism and communism. He pointed out that the right to picket and persuade was definitely a part of the constitutional guarantee of free speech and free assembly. He called attention to the uncontradicted testimony that violence was injected into the strike for the first time when pickets were attacked with gas and mis- • siles from the windows of the plant. The judge himself, slow moving ordinarily, was almost galvanized into sharp attention w'hen he was reminded that before him lay a case involving far more than the individuals concerned. The chief defendant was democracy... It is extraordinary how, radical democracy seems when an eloquent speaker develops its furthest implications. Here in Toledo I have been milling around and attending all the available meetings. I have listened to A. J. Muste of the Workers’ party, and a number of Communist orators whose names unfortunately escape me. And yet their presentation seemed a little tame and tepid compared to a rousing straight-from-the-shoulder talk as delivered by a good constitutional lawyer who still believes that democracy might work if we could only nerve ourselves up to the radical pitch of actually trying it. a tt tt Judge of His Own Acts I HAVE suggested that the cards w’ere hardly stacked in favor of Arthur Garfield Hays. In spite of the vigor of his presentation and the clarity of his thought I thought that he succeeded in convincing neither the radical pickets nor the conservative judge that there ever was such a thing as the American Revolution. After all, Mr. Hays was in the tough spot of being called upon to persuade the presiding magistrate that he erred in granting an injunction against mass picketing some few days ago. Politely enough, but quite boldly, Mr. Hays suggested to Judge Stuart that it might be an excellent idea for him to think a little harder and then reverse himself. tt tt a Not at All a Local Issue STRANGEST of all in my eyes is the attitude of the Toledo business man, who in nine cases out of ten shakes his head vigorously and mumbles something about how everything would be all right if it were not for “those outside agitators.” Surely Toledo can not be of a mind to declare itself an island empire and pretend that the present labor difficulty is a local issue. By now there are a sufficient number of newspaper reporters on the job to form a pretty good mass picket line on their own account. They might very well parade around the plant with banners inscribed “We Want to Go Home!” I’ll join. Newspaper men are here because in the judgment of their editors the Toledo situation has a distinct bearing on conditions all over the country. . I think that in the long run Toledo will find itself owing a debt of gratitude to the outside agitators, from Arthur Garfield Hays down. The merchants and business men of the town seem to have been lulled by the inside agitators into the extraordinary belief that gas bombs, bullets, low wages, strike breakers and selfish industrial secession are a benefit to the community. Asa matter of fact, the logical action of the merchants of Toledo would be to join the picket line around the plant and chime into a compelling shout to Messrs. Minch and Miniger: “We, too, demand that you grant recognition and decent wages! What do you think we're made of?” (Copyright, 1934, by The Times)

Today's Science BY DAVID DIETZ

A PORTABLE X-ray machine makes it possible to examine steel conduits going into the Boulder Dam for faulty welds. An “electronic fricker” is being used in the Chicago detective bureau as a means for locating concealed weapons in prisoners’ clothing. Thus does theoretical science become practical in widely divergent fields. It is now common to use an X-ray machine to test electric welds in boilers, pressure drums, and similar devices. But usually, the X-ray apparatus is installed in a special room and the work to be examined is brought to it. At Boulder Dam, some of the conduits consist of pipes which are' thirty feet in diameter and which have walls two and three-quarter inches thick. Under the circumstances, it was decided that it would be simpler to bring the X-ray machine to the conduits and so a- portable apparatus was developed. Testing the welds is highly important because these pipes will have to stand j| pressure of 300 pounds a square inch. The “electronic fricker” consists of a small coil of wire connected to suitable radio amplifiers and an alarm bell. This small “exploring coil” is passed rapidly over the suspect’s clothing. If he has any articles of iron or steel concealed, whether a gun, a saw blade, or a much smaller object, the apparatus will locate it. This fact is immediately announced by the ringing of the bell. a a a ANEW brahch of applied science has grown up in the last decade. Gradually, it is becoming known as the science of electronics. Its largest subdivision is that of radio, but it includes all fields which make use of electron tubes. The vacuum tubes in your radio set are electron tubes because their action depends upon the emission of electrons by the hot filaments within the tubes. Scientists call this phenomenon the thermo-electric effects. Another important subdivision of electronics is built around the photoelectric effect. The heart of the apparatus used in this field is the photoelectric cell or electric eye. Electrons again are at the basis of the action of the photoelectric cell. The beam of light, entering the cell, knocks electrons out of the metallic coating upon the inside of the cell.

GERMANY ARMS HERSELF AGAIN

Vast Increase in Military Strength Is Adolf Hitlers Goal

This is the first of four stories on Germany, dealing with the triplex problem of armaments, economics and politics that besets the nation under Hitler. tt tt tt BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor (Copyright. 1934 by NEA Service. Inc.) BERLIN, May 31.—Germany intends to provide herself with that degree of armaments which her national defense requires, France’s stand to the contrary notwithstanding. This was made unmistakably clear by Baron Konstantin von Neurath, reich minister for foreign affairs, in the course of a conversation I had with him at his office in the Wilhelmstrasse here. The baron does not like interviews. His pet antipathy is direct quotes. But he gave the full permission to publish the gist of what he said. Surrounded by nations each possessing a vast armada of military planes, the baron said, Germany lacks a single such plane. Berlin could be bombed from every direction at any time and Germany could not help herself.

Germany does not seek offensive weapons, he continued. She wants no heavy artillery. The biggest gun she asks for is 15 centimeters, approximately 6 inches. Other nations have 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18-inch guns. Germany is not permitted tanks. Other nations have them up. to twenty tons. Germany wants no such land-battleships. All she asks is to be allowed tanks up to six tons. Germany has no anti-aircraft weapons with which to defend her frontiers from outside attack. tt u tt GERMANY considers her demands are extremely reasonable. Both British and American spokesmen have so expressed themselves to the baron, he says. The weapons Germany asks for can not be considered dangerous to her neighbors. They would be of little value save for purely defensive purposes within Germany. She needs and must have the minimum deemed essential for the national defense. The categorical nature of the French note to Great Britain declaring that it is now useless to carry on further separate diplomatic negotiations on disarmament, since Germany has announced vast increases in expenditure on her army, navy and air ministries, semed to surprise the baron somewhat, but not to disturb him. tt tt tt IN taking such a stand, the German foreign minister observed, perhaps France hoped to create a situation in which Germany would find it necessary to back down. If such were the

-The DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON, May 31. Probably the most important social problem facing the nation today is the number of youngsters in their teens who have become homeless, itinerant hitch-hikers. The CCC camps made a dent in this nomad army, but it is estimated that about a quarter of a million youngsters still roam the land. What their adult life will be, what sort of criminal habits they are now forming, is impossible to estimate. The importance of this problem has not been lost upon the President. Perhaps even more concerned about it is Mrs. Roosevelt. The other day Oswald Garrison Villard, crusading associate editor of “The Nation,” was visiting with the first lady and happened to mention the fact that a national report on the problem of itinerant youth had been sent to the White House. It made comprehensive recommendations for solution of the problem. Without waiting an instant, Mrs. Roosevelt reached for the telephone, asked for Louey Howe. “What has become of the report on itinerant youth,” she asked. It had been at the White House—apparently unread—since January. tt tt tt tt tt tt HALF an hour late for an appointment with a dozen or more men, Secretary of Interior Ickes ambled into his office with an apology. “Have you had lupch yet, Mr. Secretary?” inquired one of the guests.

“Never eat lunch,” announced Ickes. “That is, almost never. Never, except at the White House.” “Oh, I see,” said another guest. “You’re going lunchless today because you couldn’t get to the White House?” Ickes, grinning, shook his head. “Not exactly. The fact is, I’ve been at the White House all morning. I just left there. But . . . well, the fact Is, I waited around, and looked as hungry as I could, and made subtle hints, but nothing happened. They just wouldn’t invite me to stay.” u u a FEW issues since the inception of the new deal have gone closer to the roots of our economic system than the present cat-and-aog fight between Clarence Darrow and General Hugh Johnsonson. The unfortunate thing is that the fight has been so bitter and the personalities involved so picturesque that they have partially obscured the real issue—whether American business is to be individualistic or is to develop into a system of chain stores, chain factories and vertical trusts. The United States was founded on a system of individualism. On the other hand, it has been the small factory owner, the sweat shop proprietor, who has exploited labor, driven wages down to the starvation point. The big companies, despite attacks upon them by the administration, despite many unfair practices, on the whole have paid better wages. The above, of course, is an oversimplified statement. The issues are so complicated that it is difficult to generalize. But the important fact for the moment is that the fight between little business and big business is going to haunt and hound the Roosevelt administration —and those succeeding it—for a long time. nun VIRGINIA’S contentious Senator Carter Glass and Alabama’s subbomly independent Representative Henry Steagall are at it again. Since 1931, when Steagall became chairman of the house banking committee, the two hotblooded bluebloods have been at opposite poles on every fiscal issue. Glass, wiry, waspish, wealthy, is a Tory. Steagall, big, heavy-built, quiet-spoken but unyielding, is a monetary liberal, with a strong taste for inflationary experiments. Such ideas and schemes are

case, France would be disappointed. Perhaps that might have happened in the old days, when the reichstag had more influence, but now, when things are different, Germany’s position would not be modified in the least. She will not demand more, but certainly she will not demand less. I remarked that in the United States and elsewhere abroad there seemed to be a growing fear that Europe might be headed toward another conflict. The baron replied that nobody wants war and he does not believe there will be one. Any 'statesman who lets his country in for another war, he said, would be a fit subject for an asylum for lunatics. If there is another war in Europe, he went on, it would mean the end of Europe, which can not survive another conflict. There is not a single problem before the European powers today, he insisted, which can not be settled by peaceful methods. All that is needed is a little good will on the part of all. Just what is going to happen now, so far as disarmament is concerned, Baron von Neurath said, nobody knows. But the problem is still amenable to settlement by agreement. tt tt I SUGGESTED that already there is talk of a revival of the old Anglo-French entente cordiale and of a formal defensive alliance. The baron’s attitude was, Well, why not? Germany has no idea of attacking either country and

anathema to Glass. He has stormed and raged at Steagall, who has gone his way unconcernedly—a fact which has not endeared him to the trigger-tem-pered Virginian. Now Steagall has again thrown a defy into Glass’ teeth. Recently, the senate, with President Roosevelt’s approval and under Glass’ leadership, passed a bill continuing for another year the present $2,500 limit on federal bank deposit insurance. The measure went to Steagall’s committee. He took his sweet time in acting on it. And when finally he got around to reporting out the measure it was a Steagall bill and not the one Glass favored. Not only had the deposit guarantee been upped to $5,000, but, adding insult to injury, Steagall had calmly tacked on a provision for paying depositors in closed banks. If there is one thing to which Glass is adamantly opposed, it is the popular proposal to use federal funds to liquidate frozen deposits. Steagall’s proposition is merely permissive, authorizing the administration to pay off depositors if it sees fit. The inside whisper among congressional leaders is that it is merely a gesture to quiet the nation-wide agitation for such legislation. But it is not soothing Carter. He has already started thundering against it, and when it reaches the senate floor the lightning probably will be both brilliant and devastating. (Copyright, 1934, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

The Theatrical World Miss Bergner Described as “Garbo of Europe” BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

WHAT is Elizabeth Bergner like? That is the question that people are asking since it was announced that she was a cq-star with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in “Catherine the Great.” In Europe she is talked about just as we talk about Greta Garbo in Hollywood. She is the pride of the Strand, the Prater and the Rue de la Paix. When she previewed her first important European film, “Nju,” she dashed out of the projection room in costume and make-up and she never came back. She has been compared to Duse and Bernhardt but shushes people who mention their names. She loves to say unflattering things about herself to people and then leaves them wondering whether it is true. She is crazy about dogs and goes to every dog show in London. She is in London now playing the lead in “Escape Me Not.” This show with its original cast will be brought to New York in September. Miss Bergner is said to look mast feminine when she is wearing boy’s apparel. She really hates to see w'omen smoke but smokes continuously herself. Miss Bergner is in love w r ith her husband, Dr. Paul Czinner, who has directed all of her film successes, including “Catherine The Great.” This woman is temperamental one minute, gentle and pliant the next. She wears eccentric clothes. The black and white ensemble she

Fair Enough, i WESTBROOK PMLEIJ WASHINGTON. May 31. The death in Los Aigeles of old Jackson Barnett, senils Oklahoma Indian, who once tried to give away $1,000,000, amounts to a patriotic occasion as it crates an opportunity to remind the citizens of the sterling character and high ideals of one of the leading statesmen of the day. He is the Hon. Harold McGugin, member of congress from Coffeyville, Kan. Congressman McGugin is an ornaifient to the American bar, also, and one of the important individual rea-

sons why the profession of the law is held in the esteem in which it is held by the citizens at this time. The Hon. McGugin, of Coffeyville, Kan., is the statesman who conducted the recent fearless investigation of the celebrated Dr. Wirt charges in which it was shown that somebody at a dinner party in Washington might have said something revolutionary, if anybody had been able to break through the doctor’s conversational service. As matters turned out in the hearings, however, it appeared that Dr. Wirt, himself, talked on and on so that there was no

way of knowing what anybody else might have intended to say. Nevertheless, Congressman McGugin showed himself alert to protect his country from the sinister machinations of the revolutionary party, if any. tt tt tt He’B Just the Type ON his record in the case of Jackson Barnett he is obviously just the type the citizens need to guard their property rights and protect their good old sacred heritage. There might be depreciation on their property and some wear and tear on the good old sacred heritage in the course of the struggle, but Statesman McGugin hardly could be expected to replace all divots in a contest of that kind. The point is that Statesman McGugin stands ever ready to challenge the destructive and downright dishonest philosophy of the reds which would take the citizens’ property without due process of law and uphold his own honest, homespun principles. It is quite another matter to take property by due process of law. Statesman McGugin now is involved in some processes of law having to do with the estate of the feeble-minded Indian, Jackson Barnett, whose quarter-section of land, allotted him by the government, was discovered one day to be a floating hummock on a lake of oil. By 1920 the old Indian had accumulated almost $1,000,000 in royalties, and presently an affectionate lady from Texas named Annie Laurie Lowe heard love’s call. Annie Laurie Lowe decided that she and Barnett were made for each other, although he was forty years older. The record of the United States Supreme Court put it in this language: “He (the Indian) was kidnaped by an adventuress who took him to two other states and had him go through a marriage ceremony in both. He was harassed and annoyed by her attorneys and her allies, and v as induced by them to put his thumb mark on an instrument not understood by him, requiring the secretary of the interior to give $550,000 in bonds to the wife and a like sum to the American Baptist Home Mission Spciety on condition that it pay him $20,000 a year (less than the interest yield; for life.” a tt m Some Money Available ANOTHER court decision, given by Federal Judge William P. James of California, says that “the conclusion is inescapable that Mrs. Lowe and her attorney, McGugin, were working in harmony with the Indian agent to obtain‘control of a large portion of the bonds.” The judge also quoted from a contract between the affectionate lady and Statesman McGugin’s law firm whereby the law firm was to receive 25 per cent of all the money she might ever receive from Barnett or his estate. Statesman McGugin’s firm was not greedy, however, the statesman’s firm agreed to call it all even if their share ever reached $500,000. And there is a record in the supreme court of the District of Columbia in which an old-tiqje justice of the peace in Coffeyville, Kan., told of marrying the happy couple and, at the bride’s request, sending in a lawyer immediately after the ceremony. The justice of the peace said he happened to meet the incipient statesman as he was going down the street and told him about the client in return for 10 per cent of the fee. This was the beginning of the pleasant professional relationship between Attorney (now statesman) McGugin and the lady who married an Indian. Unfortunately, however, Judge James of California, in his recent decision annulled the marriage and Statesman McGugin now is confronted with the task of convincing the honorable court that it should not be necessary for his firm to return to the estate $135,000, representing the firm's share of the $550,000 received by the blushing but level-headed bride. The government seems to believe that all contracts dependent on the romance are null and void, too, and, altogether, Statesman McGugin has reason to view with alarm. The statesman is quite busy at this time fighting for the fine old American principles which he holds dear, but later on he might be induced to pose for his statue depicting honor, dignity, ethics, and scrupulosity, all in one.

Your Health BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN YOU’RE doing a good job against the diseasebreeding housefly when you screen the doors and windows and swat every one of the insects that happens to get through these guards and into your home. But this isn’t enough. Screens, traps, fly paper, and similar devices are only secondary, rather than primary, means of controlling the development and spread of flies as a menace to health. To do the job right, you should prevent the breeding of flies and this is done by observance of cleanliness, which includes the covering of all garbage and filth and the thorough washing of doorsteps, porches, window sills, and windows. A female housefly lays from 600 to 1,000 eggs during a lifetime, of several months. Each of the female young may lay similar numbers, so you can see that house flies multiply rapidly. a a a IT has long been recognized that house flies may spread disease. They do this in various ways. Chiefly, however, they carry the germs of disease on their hairy feet, picking up the germs from filth, including the secretions of those who are sick, and transferring the germs either directly to the skin of the human body or to soots the human being eats. Nowadays it is well known that certain forms of intestinal disease in children, and occasional cases of typhoid as well, are caused by the medium of the flyThe house fly is a scavenger. It multiplies in the presence of filth and best of all in the excretions of either human beings or animals, which are moist at the time when the fly feeds upon them. a a a THE fly will deposit its eggs in such filth; from these eggs the larvae or maggots develop, and good-sized house flies appear from the eggs within ten days. Decaying filth, scraps of food, the excretions of animals deposited around a house are the best means of drawing flies to the house or of giving the £ies opportmmy to breed.
