iijeem io hie ffiYWO® WIN NEW YORK. June 15.—Dr. Ernst Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl should be taken off the Europa at quarantine tomorrow morning and sent to Ellis Island as an undesirable alien. It shivers the timbers of many principles which I hold dear to express this opinion and for that I must apologize. But an even more abject apology should be forthcoming from the government if it fails to order this action. I hate to see people barred because of their political views or even their political activities in foreign lands even when they espouse things which I abominate. But on many occasions in the past visitors from abroad have been denied the hospitality of our shores for reasons which were often fantastic or trivial. Even the worn out and wholly academic theories

of Emma Goldman were sufficient for years to throw Washington into a panic lest her landing should occasion turmoil. Now there is nothing academic or fantastic in the threat to public peace occasioned by the visit of Dr. Hanfstaengl. One need not be a prophet to predict that from the moment Hitler's agent steps upon the gangplank his progress through the United States wil be marked by a scries of bloody riots. Nor will it be just to say that these will be instigated solely by the leaders of small radical minorities. I can think of only one

other individual in the world calculated to rouse more different kinds of hatred and animosity in the city of New York. It would, of course, be sound counsel to suggest that the most punishing sort of greeting might be to receive Hitler's piano player with thunders of silence and mountain ranges of inattention. I do not think the young man merits the tribute of a riot. Yet I know perfectly well that there will be riots here and all along the line of Hanfstaengl’s journey to the Harvard stadium. It seems to me a great pity that the risk of injuring many people should be accepted for no better reason than to make a colorful afternoon for a small snobbish group at Cambridge. Dr. Conant might well have used his own good offices to prevent the situation. n tt tt It W'as a Good Sock SOMEBODY may interrupt to say that Harvard believes in free speech fair play and a chance for every man to be heard. Fortunately, for the sake of this argument, Harvard is not in a very good position to take any such attitude in regard to Hanfstaengl. Some little time before America entered the war one of the finest fights ever staged in the Harvard Club of New York was waged over the recumbent form of the young German. Dr. Hanfstaengl was tactless enough to say in a loud voice that he was glad the Lusitania had been sunk. He was bold enough to make the remark in the bar just about the cocktail hour. I do not know just who swung the right hand punch which effected the knockout. As I remember many claimed the credit. The whole incident was deplorable and Ernst Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl either resigned or was expelled from the club. At any rate there was a very intense coldness between him and his mates at the university where he had been moderately popular. Not for an instant am I suggesting that the old and partially forgotten hatreds of the World war should be revived again. I am merely pointing out that the men of Harvard will not be in a good strategic position to take any toplofty attitude about disorders which may occur now. Only the day after the original fracas a Harvard friend of mine described the incident to me and said that he regretted the episode enormously and that it was disgraceful that any such thing should have occurred among a group of educated men. “And yet.” he admitted, “I would have taken a punch at him myself at the time if I had been standing a little closer. One must remember that some of the people in the group had friends who went down on the Lusitania.” tt tt tt He Plays Very Loudly HANFSTAENGL did not fire that torpedo. He merely expressed gratification. But tomorrow he will come to New York as a man who actually has been active in fomenting the cruel religious and economic persecutions going on in Germany. And in New York there are hundreds of thousands of people who have relatives and friends who are suffering at this very moment under the heavy hand of Hitler. The provocation is too great to expect rational conduct. Os course. Hanfstaengl will be guarded carefully. The fight will be a vicarious one between police and guards, who may hate Hitler just as much as anybody else, and enraged mobs. Washington must deal with the reality. I don’t think Hanfstaengl's feelings in the matter are particularly important. It is much better that his pride should be hurt than that many should suffer. He is not a man of any gift or distinction. Os late I have seen a tendency to refer to him as “an accomplished musician.” It was my privilege a good many years ago to hear Hanfstaengl at the piano while he was still an undergraduate. Possibly he has improved since then, but I have heard later reports which would not indicate much change. His status as a pianist may still be completely reviewed with the simple statement, “He plays very loudly.” I think that Dr. Ernest Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl should be officially advised to play in his own back yard.

Your Health BY DR. MORRIS FISHBFIN’

WITH the coming of summer, more and more persons take the chance of poisoning by the' ivy. the oak, and other poisonous vines. These vines secrete an oil which is so irritating to persons susceptible to it that one-millionth of a gram can produce a serious irritation of the skin. Fortunately, the vast majority of persons are not susceptible. In those who are, there is severe redness and swelling of the skin anywhere from a few hours to one to two days after contact with the irritating oil. The usual places where the spots appear are the backs of the hands and forearms, the face, the neck, the genital region, and occasionally the feet and legs. The blisters that foim usually break in from two to four days, leaving a raw surface, on which crusts form. Healing takes place under these crusts. nan THOSE who know they are susceptible to poison ivy should avoid exposure to the plants and. .at such times as they may be exposed to it, they should wear rubber gloves. When exposed, the irritating oil deposited on the skin should be removed as soon as possible by scrubbing first with soap and water and following with alcohol or gasoline. Always scrub away from the parts of the body that have not been exposed—that is, rub from the elbows downward and from the knees downward instead of toward the elbows and knees, since this may serve to spread the irritation. The person affected sholud also take a full bath and have a complete change of clothing. Clothing that has been contaminated with the poison should not be used until it has been thoroughly washed or cleaned. tt a a FOP severe itching and burning, the skin may be protected with dressings of paraffin, such as are used for burns, or with calamine lotion. In milder cases the use of a simple dusting powder like zinc stearate, is helpful. A small amount of phenol and menthol added to the calamine lotion serves also to prevent itching. Any doctor can write a prescription containing the proper amounts of these substances. After the itching and burning have subsided, the healing of the affected spots can be hastened by use of suitable protective ointments pastes.

INDUSTRIAL PARALYSIS FACES U. S.

Millions in Nation Would Be Affected by Steel Strike

This is the second of two stories on the crisis in the steel industry, with i labor threatening a strike that may afF ect millions of workers in otner industries and have a serious effect on the recovery program. tt tt tt BY WILLIS THORNTON Times NLA service Staff Writer CLEVELAND, June 15.—Steel is a hard business, and it produces men, both workmen and executives, as hard as the shining metal they make. Hence, industrial strife in the steel empire always has been of the bitterest kind. Forty-two years ago came the first great steel strike, centering on the Carnegie Steel plant at Homestead, Pa., where the key plant of the United States Steel Corporation is still located. A reduction in wages and refusal of the company to continue recognition of the Iron and Steel Workers’ Union brought on‘the strike. The use of armed Pinkerton detectives by the company was followed by warfare in which several lives were lost and much property destroyed. , The second great steel strike came in 1919, when the war boom in steel began to collapse. Workmen had tasted high wages during the war, and had held an advanced bargaining position before the war labor board. Reluctantly, the A. F. of L. leadership, under the conservative Samuel Gompers, was forced into a strike by a vote of twelve out of fourteen unions chiefly interested in organizing the mills.

The union demands were abolition of the twenty-four-hour shift, one day’s rest in seven, wage increases, collective bargaining. the check-off, and abolition of company unions. The strike began in Septefnber, 1919. By Oct. 9, the unions claimed 367.000 workers were out, though the companies always claimed there never were more than 200,000. The companies enrolled many deputies, barricaded the mills, and tried, with varying success, to keep- running. The strike, despite its size and many minor clashes, was remarkably peaceful. tt tt tt JOHN FITZPATRICK and William Z. Faster were the strike leaders, violently attacked as subversive radicals, and Foster especially was put under fire for his known syndicalist views. The unions attacked “Garyism” with equal bitterness, and assailed the stiff-necked stand of the companies in refusing to meet with the union representatives, and in importing and protecting strikebreakers. Many restraints against strike meetings and free speech were met with in the towns about Pittsburgh. By November, workers began drifting back to their jobs and on Jan. 8, 1921, Foster called off the strike and resigned as secretary of the strike committee. It had cost the national unions more than a million dollars, exclusive of local contributions. tt tt tt THE collapse of the steel strike ended the organization campaign in steel, and spurred a concerted "open shop” drive by the steelmasters; Unionism did not actively revive until the NRA organization went into effect a year ago. Employers seized on the same opportunity to strengthen and foster the employe representation or company union plans. The Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, still under the leadership of the venerable Mike Tighe, who had

The DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY 7 GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON, June 15.—The President’s quiet but emphatic refusal to cut short congress was a bitter blow to Democratic congressional leaders. He wanted to wind up, but some of them wanted it even more. • They were all set to ring down the curtain June 9. This would have enabled them to dodge votes on the Wagner labor board bill, oil control, and the housing program—all under heavy fire from business interests. Some of the administration floor leaders are privately opposed to these measures; but, if forced to a showdown, won’t dare vote against them. That showdown is now here. u n tt nun YOUNG MEN intending to become members of future cabinets should be careful about their scholastic records. Their pasts will catch up with them. Back in 1908. one of the members of Roosevelt’s cabinet was a youngster at Phillips-Exeter Academy and in danger of flunking math. Finally his father, a wealthy New Yorker, later to be an ambassador under Woodrow Wilson, came up to Exeter and argued with “Billy”

Francis, professor of mathematics Professor Francis found the father most delightful, but that didn’t help his son. The latter, he said, was diligent, but dumb. Finally the youngster passed, “though not because of any special influence,” said Professor Francis. And one of the Merry-Go-Rounders, having had .trigonometry pounded into him by the professor, can vouch for his im-. partiality. “He just squeezed through,” said Francis, "but he got by on his own.” The youngster was Henry Morgenthau Jr., secretary of the treasury and the man who last week floated $800,000,000 of government bonds. n u THERE is no truer axiom than that Franklin Roosevelt—no matter what happens—will be his own secretary of the navy. How true this is was illustrated last week. Usually it is customary for the state department to prepare for all naval negotiations with foreign countries. The secretary of the navy, assisted by his experts, comes up to the state department and sits in. But when naval experts prepared to leave for London last week to discuss with the British and Japanese plans for the next naval conference, they went direct to the White House. After a talk with the President, they went back to. the navy department. The gaunt mountaineer from Tennessee, Secretary of State Hull, was not called in. Nor was the mustachioed secretary of the navy, Claude Augustus Swanson. In fact, the latter did not appear to know what had taken place. Asked about the instructions Roosevelt had given the naval experts, he looked congenially blank. “How do we stand on global tonnage, Mr. Secretary?” he was asked. “We’re for it.”

led it during the 1919 strike, had meanwhile become practically an industrial or “vertical” union of all classes of steel workers. A year ago it had ninety-five local lodges, but at its convention this spring, 232 lodges were represented, indicating its widespread entrance into shops hitherto closed to it. tt tt tt THE bulk of the new' membership w'as among younger men, with their own younger and more aggressive leaders. At their spring convention, leaders of this younger element denounced “hoop-skirt” leadership of the Amalgamated, and/ began to take the bit in their teeth. They put through, early in May, a resolution calling for a strike in mid-June unless by that time all the Amalgamated lodges had been recognized by their respective mills and uniform contracts signed by all. The demand was simultaneously made that each shop which had an Amalgamated lodge recognize that union as the employes’ choice for collective bargaining. In all those which are members of the Iron and Steel Institute (about 99 per cent of the industry) a simultaneous refusal was made. The executives contended that the Amalgamated represents less than 10 per cent of all steel workers, and that even if it represented more, they would not recognize it, because that would be a preliminary to a closed shop. a tt u THE union now takes the position that it does not ask the closed shop, but only recognition according to the principles of NRA. in shops or parts of shops in w'hich it can show a majority. It claims to represent up to 60 or 75 per cent of the steel workers. Impartial estimates say it is probably nearer 25 per cent.

Once committed to the strike, there w'as nothing to do but link the “rank-and-file” and “hoopskirt” groups in a united strike committee, and this was done. Besides the potential cleavage within the ranks of the Amalgamated, the Steel and Metal Workers’ Industrial Union was thrown into the situation by the Communists, presenting a more sweeping set of demands. tt tt tt IT’S actual membership is negligible, but as part of the announced Communist plan to get a foothold in the heavy industries, it is always a factor in lining up and directing disaffected elements in the Amalgamated. The company unions, meanwhile, w'ere not idle. Hurriedly presented resolutions were passed in a dozen plants showing from 10 to 90 per cent of the employes voting, and opposed to a strike. Many averred they would go on working. But it is w'ell knowm that a minority of union members as small as 15 or 20 per cent can often, by mass picketing, effectively strike a plant where 80 or 85 per cent wish to w'ork. So the extent of the possible walkout can be measured by neither company union votes nor union claims. Wages are not primarily at stake today, nor hours, though a w'age increase would be the next demand following recognition. Hours have been reduced through the codes to a maximum of eight.

Wages, the steelmasters claim, are 6 to 7 per cent above 1929 levels, with employment almost equal.

TODAY and TOMORROW tt a a a tt a By Walter Lippmann

THE President’s message of June 8, except for a reference to the housing bill now before congress, deals with the future. It is obviously a keynote address which is meant to tell the country the objectives which he wishes to w'ork toward in the second half of his term. The message is well worth careful study. For it throws more light upon what are the real intentions and the underlying philosophy of the New Deal than any other document that has as yet been issued.

For about a year there has been a vast amount of rumor and guesswork as to where the President was going and w'here his advisers were leading him. The President himself has confined himself almost entirely to specific measures and has done very little talkir.g about his general theories. But, of course, his' actions have been predicated upon theories. All human actions are, though as often as not men are unaware of the theory on W'hich they are acting. Because he has said what he w'anted to do and has said very little as to why he wanted to do it, it has been left

The*, steel unions, practiced in the technique of industrial 'warfare, are also making careful plans for picketing and other activities, strike relief, and a protracted showdown.

to the public to figure out for itself the principles which he is following. One method pf figuring out what he was up to has been to take specific measures and then argue as to what would happen to the country if they were carried to a logical extreme. Thus, for example, he devalued the dollar by 40 per cent. There was a whole school of prophets who declared that the dollar would become devalued 83 or 90 per cent before he got through. He deliberately threw the budget out of balance in order to finance relief and the stimulation of recovery by inflationary expenditure. There were those who argued that this was an uncontrollable procedure and that the budget never would be balanced until the currency was ruined. He set up controls to regiment agriculture and industry. It has been argued that one control leads to another and that the end must be a completely regimented and planned economy. He set out to regulate the capital markets. It was asserted that he was being carried toward the abolition of private finance. o a a IT is now clear that these prophecies were incorrect. Does any one seriously believe that the dollar is to be devalued to zero and that inflation is to be uncontrolled? There are still some who say they believe it, but the testimony of the markets is all the other way. If the destruction of the currency were threatened there would be one infallible sign of it. The bond market would be falling as men rushed to get their money out of fixed obligations. But actually bonds have been greatly increased in price. The average price of corporate and high-grade municipal bonds, as estimated by Standard Statistics, has risen from 81 in 1932 to around 95. Preferred stocks have risen from about 96 to 117. If men really fear inflation, they are acting like lunatics in bidding up fixed obligations. Are we moving toward greater and greater regimentation or are the controls being relaxed as the mood of deflation lifts? The NR A has taken at least four decisive steps to relax its grip upon business. The theory that one thing must lead to another has proved to be quite contrary to the facts. What has happened is that as a theory proved unworkable, it has been scrapped.

Fdir Enough ffiiiu T ONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y., June 15.—Sneering, chattering, and cutting funny shuffles with his big, flat feet, Max Baer slaughtered Primo Camera last night and won the heavyweight championship of the world in a brawl as wild and murderous as two jnen ever will fight without resort to the meatax, ball bat or gun. Baer w : on the title in the eleventh round when the enormous Italian, after a brave, proud fight in which he w'as knocked down eleven times and always refused to take a rest.

found himself turned off by Arthur Donovan, the referee, and gently shoved toward his corner. He was not quite conscious by that time and there was only a dazed motion of protest as he yielded to the authority of the gasping official, who was afraid that any more clouting on his head might kill him in the ring or anyway injure his brain. Primo’s mouth was agape and his great rubber horse-shoe, masking his jagged tusks, flapped loose over his lips. He had been slugged on the head with the terrific force of perhaps a hundred of

Baer's great swings and only a few minutes before, close to the end of round ten. Baer had clouted him with a left swing to the body which made his eyes bulge and his knees sag under 260 pounds of bone and meat. He was so w : eak from this left hand smash that his arms dropped and he limped against the ropes in Baer’s corner at though he had sprained an ankle or knee. There w'as mad confusion all around the ring as Donovan jumped in front of Primo at this point and held Baer off as he w'ould have swung in to knock the big man to the floor. Customers throughout the society and celebrity sector lost their poise and emitted shrill squawks of "Foul” and "Let them fight.” Baer's seconds clambered up the steps into his corner where the action was going on and through the ropes to wrangle with Donovan about a situation which nobody including Donovan and least of all Camera, understood. Donovan fluttered a few seconds keeping Baer off when he might have put Camera dow'n once more, then stepped aside and signaled to Baer to resume punching. He tore in, slugging sullenly around the body for a few' seconds and was caught in action by the bell ending the round. tt tt a He's a Brave Man A FTER the fight, Donovan explained that the bell had rung, ending the tenth round when he intervened so mysteriously, but he did not explain why, in that case, he withdrew' and let them fight until it rang again. Primo's great bravery and the majestic pride of a giant so badly beaten that he had no chance but to keep on fighting to inevitable defeat were as impressive throughout the brawl as Max Baer’s mighty punch and his flippant conduct. The big man had no punch but a left jab and an occasional right uppercut, all of which Baer accepted with laughing contempt. But though Baer slugged him until his brain hummed and the arena spun before his eyes, he got up twelve times without accepting any of the precious rest he was entitled to, without prejudice. He was down once more, in addition to the eieven limes that Baer collansed him, w'hen he rushed at Max with a right swing in the eighth and found him .absent on arrival. The force of Primo’s lunge pulled him off his balance and he sprawled like an alleyfighter w'ho has managed to crawl outside a quart of cooking whisky. This was one' occasion when Baer, himself, had occasion to show his courtesy and he met it gracefully, withdrawing several paces and grinning amiably as Primo came up from his iarring sprawl and sorted himself out. When Primo was well recovered, Max rushed in again and resumed his smashing. tt tt He Just Can't Punch TJRIMO landed only one punishing blow. This was a hard right uppercut w'hich made Baer's neck snap in the eighth. The Italian’s nose w’as smashed by a right swing in the fifth and the flow impeded his breathing to the end. He w'ho had been condemned by Mr. Will Brown, the prize fight commissioner, for loafing in his training camp, vaulted over the top rope at the end of the fight to shake hands with friends in the working press section. He jabbered into the microphones and bantered with Mr. Browm, w'ho had insisted that, he was out of shape and no fit candidate for the championship. Then he went away up the aisle, surrounded by the coat-holders w'ho only a year ago had followed Primo up the aisle in the same triumphal progress. Primo left quietly, got into a taxi and w r ent to his hotel to put applications on a swollen ankle. Primo’s fault was that with all his 260 pounds of weight against Baer’s 212 he could not punch. He could only shove and slap and shoot a left jab w’hich Baer belittled with a sneer. For a few rounds Primo had a knack of timing Baer’s swings at his head, but he lost it toward the end of the fight and was catching these shots full on the head with all their rhythmic force.

Today s Science BY DAVID DIETZ

A STRONOMICAL discovery has moved so swiftly in the present century that more has been found out about the universe since 1900 than was known in all the preceding centuries of civilization. But astronomers are looking forward to even swifter progress in the next decade. This is because of the great telescopes no in process of construction which will come into use within a few years. The telescopes now under construction include the 200-inch for the California Institute of Technology, The 8.5-inch telescope for the University of Michigan, the 80-inch for the MacDonald observatory of Texas, and the 75-inch for the University of Toronto. The full significance of this list of imposing new telescopes is not realized until we compare it with the list of present large telescopes. These include the 100-inch at Mt. Wilson, the 72mch at the Dominion Astrophysical obseratory of Canada, the 69-inch at the Perkins observatory in Delaware. 0.. the 60-inch at Harvard, and the 60inch at Mt. Wilson. a a ti IT is also of significance that many of the existing large telescopes have not been in operation very long. The 60-inch at Harvard is only about two years old; the 69-inch at Perkins about five years old. For a long time, three telescopes had to carry the burden of certain types of astronomical photography, the 100-inch and 60-inch telescopes at Mt. Wilson and the 72-inch in Canada. While there will be plenty of w r ork to keep all of the new' big telescopes busy, astronomers are naturally most excited over the possibilities of the 200inch. This is because of the feeling that many problems have been carried just as far as they can be with the 100-inch at Mt. Wilson. Further progress in these fields requires a larger telescope. Foremost among these problems is the structure of the universe. Beyond our own galaxy or milky way lie the other galaxies of stars, the so-called spiral nebulae. Astronomers have discovered that these are sometimes grouped into clouds of galaxies or super-galaxies, as Shapley has named them. Our own galaxy with the two Magellanic clouds, the Anand the spiral known as M 33, a super-galaxy.
