I stayed away not because I like football too little. but rather because of the fact that it has too great an emotional kick for me In these later years It has been my constant effort to cure myself of
gross sentimentalism. And so i have resolved that it Is foolish to bleed and die even vicariously for dear old Alma Mater. What does it matter if Harvard wins or loses. Possibly this philosophic state of mind partially is engendered by the present state of Harvard's football team. My indifference unfortunately is too synthetic to insulate me completely against the sight of slaughter. Within a few days now the Crimson warriors will trot upon the field to face the Princeton Tigers after an eight-year gridiron feud. I was not for the fight in the first place but I must admit that poor old Harvard

seems to have chosen a most unfortunate season for the renewing of relations. And though I do mv best to rationalize away those prejudices of adolescence something of the old taint of rivalry is left in me. It is possible for me to think back to the days when I actually believed that Princeton players wore seal rings in order to leave the print of their armorial designs upon the Harvard countenance*. m mm The Boy* Aren't So Hod SUCH myths have gone with the snows of yesteryear. Now it is possible again to sit down in amity with a Princeton man and let him buy a round of drinks. Indeed I even have reversed the process without a qualm of conscience. The men of Nassau are human beings like the rest of mankind. They bleed when cut ana sniver in the cold. Many of them have table manners and can appear at reasonable advantage in any drawing room. But there were days when I didn't think so. And so I shall not be in Boston when the whistle blows. It is not my purpose even to turn the dials of a radio. Next Sunday morning I will consult the sporting section, sigh once and turn the pages to some section dealing with the more serious things. 111 run no risk of being plunged bark into the primitive. Never again will I lose by voice shouting in any concerted cadence, “Hold ’em Harvard! ’ and this coming Saturday. I fear, will be a day when any such slogan shouter is likely to be under a fearful and repeated strain. If I do not see the Tigers treading lightly over the prostrate crimson bodies my ego may be able to stand the shock of the belated returns. But to watch the procession would rob me of all self-con-fidence for at least another twelve months. Just why I should identify myself with the Crimson team is difficult to say. I never touched a football m four years of college. Indeed my only expedience comprised one year as a regular at Horace Mann where I was the center and played it like a policeman on fixed post. Os course, this was years ago before the forward pass and we in the line merely stood with locked ankles and tried to stand like the old guard against the opposing plungers. a a a Was a Sweet Passer WAS not much good in offensive football and rather worse on the defense because of my unconquetable desire to stand up straight and not be pinioned at the bottom of any play. But without undue conceit I can boast that I was a sweet passer and always laid the ball precisely in the hands of the half who had dropped back to kick. Though merely a spectator of Crimson triumphs and defeats I always came to feel that I was a part of the scrimmage. I was the blocked kick, the long run and particularly the fumble. Before the first quarter was over my high school wounds began to bleed again. Usually I came away from the stadium limping a little as I did after our game with Morristown high school. But in that game, at least. I set a record which might well be emulated by other football players. In the second half, through no fault of my own. a Morristown runner bumped into me and we both went down. I did not get up immediately and the doctor of the squad rushed out to question me. “Does your leg hurt?" he said. “It does." I answered. “Would you like to leave the game?" he asked. “I would." I told him. Not then or ever since was I willing to die for dear old Horace Mann or any other educational institution. Nor did I burst into tears as I trotted briskly off the field to the locker room. Concerning my own playing I always was rational and unemotional. It is only the sight of the other fellow in action which moves me to primitive ferocity. As one who feels that maybe Nero went a bit too far in throwing Christians to the lions why should I very much enjoy the sight of Harvard comrades bei.ig tossed to Tigers? “But." you sav. “it is just barely conceivable that Harvard might win." Yes. but why should a columnist with three or four missions m life want to drop dead in Boston? (Copyright. 1934. bv The Times!

SCIENTISTS, bending over their test tubes and retorts, ruined a nation and remade the world picture. Out of the test tubes came the collapse of one nation's commerce, and anew independence for the fanners and manufacturers of every other nation in the world. Out of the test tubes came anew war-makine ability for every major nation upon the face of the earth. It was a mineral tragedy for Chile, for up until that moment. Chile, with its rich natural nitrate deposits, had a virtual monopoly of the worlds supply of nitrates, supplies which were needed for agriculture and manufacturing, supplies which were indispensable to war-making. Describing Chile's position at the close of 1932. the British commercial secretary at Santiago, wrote: •‘Chile's most cherished possession, her international credit, has been swept completely away. A century of faithful compliance with her bond has been broken, to the amazement and consternation of many thousands of foreign investors who had subscribed to her loans secure m the belief that Chile always pays.' ■ a a -tier foreign commerce has fallen to comparaXJL lively negligible figures." he continues. Her gold standard has gone and the peso has no recognized international exchange value. The financial resources of the government are hopelessly inadequate. "Steamship services have been reduced to a minimum, and an already remote Chile is left more isolated than e\er . . The great workmen's encampments in the nitrate pampas of the north are largely depopulated, and hungry men. women and children have made their way to the central zone in search of food and shelter.” Back of this picture of economic, political, and social chaos in a once prosperous country* lies many causes." says Professor G B Roorbach of the Harvard School of Business Administration, ’but chief among them, aside from the great world depression itself, is nitrate. BMW LET us look at the business in nitrates which Chile once had. In 1880 she exported 250.000 tons of nitrates By 1894 this had grown to 1.000 000 tens By 1908 the figure had been doubled and in 1914 It was 2.750 000 tons. The World war made unusual demands upon Chile for nitrates. Nitrates were needed for explosive*. The figure reached almost 3.000,000 tons during the years 1916 and 1919. There was a decline after the World war. but :t aeam picked up and was nearly as high by 1929. In that year it was 2.897.000 tons Then it began to fall. By 1931 it was only 1.500.000 tons. By 1933 It had fallen to practically insignificant amounts.

THE NEW DEAL’S CRUCIAL TEST
Foes of Roosevelt Challenge Congress’Right to Grant Great Power
Thu j* th |at of a aeries of four articles b Rodney Dutrher. on important Deal raey that are esperted to eome before the United Staiea supreme rourt for decision at this session. a a a BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1934, NEA Service. Inc.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. —Has congress given Roosevelt and the New Dealers more power than the Constitution allows? Have the New Dealers exceeded their authority in reform-recovery legislation? Challenges on these points are being hurled at the administration in mast of the big test cases now before or on the way to the United States supreme court. Many government lawyers believe the “delegation of power” issue is their mast difficult hurdle. The supreme court has never declared an act of congress void on the ground that it unconstitutionally delegated legislative power to the President and his appointees. But neither has congress ever before conferred such huge grants of discretionary and regulatory authority as it has given to Roosevelt. The two issues involve price-fixing, production control, wages and hours definition and prohibition, there was no mention of price-fixing or price protection in the NIRA; that there was provision for codes of fair competition, and that “price regulation is the antithesis of competition.” , Elsewhere, NRA price-fixing has been upheld. The Anderson decision raises the question how far NRA can go under NIRA and. more pointedly, just how far private citizens —such as members of a code authority—can be invested with powers of regulation. The answer to that usually is that codes and code-makers' actions are subject to federal administration scrutiny and that NRA is empowered by NIRA 'and the codes themselves) to amend any code—as it did in ordering a thirty-six-hour week and a 10 per cent wage increase for the cotton garment industry, which is the sort of thing bound to bring supreme court tests.
The way things go in the lower courts is illustrated by contrasting the opinion of Judge Charles I. Dawson in Kentucky, who held that fixing of coal miners’ standard wages at $4 60 was “unwarranted invasion of the reserved powers of ihe states and the rights of the people” with that of Ju Albert C. Coxe in southern New York, who enjoined the Lomas Dress Company from violating wage and hour provisions and caused it to post a $17,500 certified check for restitution to its workers. / a a a The AAA is facing the “delegation of power” issue in two of its most important court fights—both of which probably will reach the supreme court. In a suit which would involve repayment of about a billion dollars of processing taxes if the government last, the two receivers for the Hoosac Mills Corporation in Massachusetts refuse to pay SBI,OOO in cotton processing tax. Chief issue seems to be whether the agricultural adjustment act — or the processing tax section of it—is invalid because it delegates legislative powers, that is. the taxing power, to Secretary Wallace. The Fdgewater Dairy Company of Chicago also claims “improper delegation” in the test case against Wallaces revocation of milk licenses—involving the AAA’s right to regulate prices milk dealers must pay farmers for milk.
THE NATIONAL ROUNDUP a a a a a a By Ruth Finney
WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—Beyond the gaudy victory which the Democratic party seems assured of next week, New Dealers are
sensing politic!’, trouble. The 1934 campaign has developed pronounced drifts to the right and to the left. Very few Roosevelt middle-of-the-roaders are on their way to the new congress. Instead. the senate is certain to have the most militant liberal bloc it has had in a long time. The number of conservative Democrats, willing to follow the Roosevelt leadership only when they have to and with extreme distaste, will be larger also. It may be harder, not easier, to pass New Deal legislation this winter in spite of impressive —but nominal Democratic majorities. Interpreted in terms of the 1936 election, this has a most disquieting aspect for the administration. President Roosevelt may find himself confronted with two new opposition parties. Even if only one develops his situation will be uncomfortable. The unusual support the President has had so far has come from liberals of both old parties, middle-of-the-roaders of both parties and old line Democrats held in line only by party loyalty. Anew party either of the left or of the right is certain to lure away a considerable number of his allies. n m u ON the conservative side of American Liberty League already is organized and ready to play an important part in shaping national thought. It has kept still during the present campaign, possibly in order to let the Republican party batter itself to death with the slogans that have proved so impotent in enlisting public support. It is enrolling Democrats who look askance at the New Deal as well as Republicans. It is ready to do a great deal of talking when the elections are over. Those who want to see the President move leftward are not yet united under any one banner, but evidence of their numbers and their diversity is to be found in Sinclair's California campaign; Bilbo's election in Mississippi; Olsen's radical platform in Minnesota; Dcnahey's victory in the Ohio primaries: Curley’s in Massachusettes, Holt's in West Virginia, and half a dozen others. The nucleus of a liberal third party has been formed by the La Follettes in Wisconsin. A skillful leader capitalizing this unrest might draw hundreds of thousands of voters from Roosevelt ranks. Confronted with this situation the President must decide during the coming >ear where to place his reliance for support in the 1936 campaign. This winter's session of congress probably will play a vital part in that decision. m • u IF the bonus, inflationary and other left wing blocs develop marked strength in the senate and house, the President may find his allies among the conservatives. Some financial and industrial circles are already disposed to look

PERHAPS the most important things to remember about the court tests are the focal points of the disputes, the “unfair trade practices,” collective bargaining, and other measures under NRA codes. They are raised in actions opposing AAA processing taxes, milk licenses, and other procedures, and in most other New Deal cases. The supreme court has held that congress must not delegate “legislative” power unless necessary to exercise it effectively and conveniently. The supreme court's mast important decision of the sort was that congress, in giving flexible tariff powers to the President, had established standards sufficiently definite. But the most advanced decision to date seems to be that of fifth circuit court of appeals, which said fti upholding the government in one of the oil production control cases: “While congress can not abdicate legislative power, it may make a large delegation of it, always retaining the right of control and of resumption." a a a /''VN the other hand, there’s the recent significant decision by Federal Judge Harry B. Anderson at Memphis, granting the plea of 600 hardwood manufacturers
on the President as the safest possible bulwark against the rising tide of radical sentiment. Whether they can persuade diehard tories who oppose the administration’s relief, employment, social insurance and other spending policies to withhold their attack remains to be seen. But it is certain that if the President were raked by fire from both camps his position would be exceedingly precarious. The present breakdown of party lines has its only apparent parallel in the collapse of the Federalist party, 120 years ago. Federalist opposition to the war of 1812 had proved extremely unpopular, and other Federalist principles, such as the protective tariff, had been absorbed by the RepublicanDemocrats. President Monroe pursued a middle-of-the road policy with great success and won a second term with little opposition. However, by the end of his term, economic conflicts had become too bitter to be settled by compromise, new parties had formed, and the next President, John Quincy Adams, failed to receive a majority of electoral votes and had to be chosen by the house of representatives.

(Li’l Arthur) Robinson spoke at length on the investigation here last night. Senator Robinson, who appeared under the auspices of the Fountain county Republican organization, declared that not only had Governor Paul V. McNutt been guilty of colossal political stupidity but that, also, the conduct of his agents had been in violation of all the principles of fundamental human liberties. “This is an example,” he shouted, “of what takes place when the constitutional rights of citizens are suspended by extra-legal methods.” “McNutt failed to deliver his promised revelations on the Michigan City prison break,” Senator Robinson continued, “but instead he has tried to focus attention on the Crown Point 'wooden pistol’ escape. The affair now has become a political wooden pistol.”

DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen
WASHINGTON, Nov. I.—ls there is any doubt regarding Franklin D. Roosevelt's consummate finesse in coping with difficult and delicate situations, his masterful handling of the American Bankers’ Association convention last week should settle all bets. The President did as neat and pretty a job of herd-riding as ever seen at any roundup. When the 4.000 bankers first convened, the atmosphere was indigo blue with anti-administration sentiment. The rank and file of the financial leaders were sore at the President and more so at his New Deal.
The first day’s proceedings w 7 ere a field day of denunciation. That was the true inner sentiment of the convention. Yet, when the money boys packed their bags and started for home four days later, they had cheered Roosevelt to an echo, and on the surface, at least, were on terms of amity and good will. ana r | \HE genius of the President’s A artistry in maneuvering this about-face was his use of potent figures in financial ranks to bring it about. Among the really big shots of the ABA there was definite opposition to open opposition to Roosevelt. This w r as not because they approve his policies, or because they are personally fond of him.

But they’re sticking grimly to the bench—to do their best or worst by the New Deal. (THE END)
It w 7 as because the bankers realize clearly that in a clash between them and him, the country being in its present state of mind, they w 7 ould take a bad drubbing. "We are not against the President, and he is not against us,” said Francis M. Law. the retiring ABA president. “If Roosevelt should fail, we might get someone worse.” So, strictly from utilitarian motives. the ABA rulers bent every effort for a public rapprochement. This explains why some six hours before the President was to make his tensely-awaited speech, a sudden and significant change in the night's program occurred. a o it A T 3 p. m. Jackson Reynolds, head of the Morgan-con-trolled First National Bank of New York, held a conference wuth Roosevelt. Shortly thereafter it was announced that the short, shy banker who never has given an interview or made a public address, would precede the President “with a few remarks.” The effect on the 4,000 banker delegates was stunning. Neither they, nor any one else, had any doubt what impended. A Morgan man was to extend publicly the hand of peace to the New Deal. That is exactly what happened. Reynolds’ speech was not merely the sensation of the evening. It was the sensation of the convention. Not only what he said, but his appearance, far eclipsed in significance the guarded words of the President. . It was Reynolds who applied the flail to his fellow 7 bankers. The President had merely to sit by and applaud. The mountain had come to Mahomet. (Copvriffht. 1934 bv United Feature Syndicate.

Fair Enough HIM PEER (Reference to Governor Paul V. McNutt is made today by Westbrook Tegler in this column.) SAN FANCISCO. Cal., Nov. I.—The current campaign between Mahatma Upton Sinclair and Governor Frank Merriam, the old wrist-flip horseshoe pitcher from lowa, has developed into a spectacle the like of which never has been seen in American politics. This is the first time that the citizens of any community ever have been asked to choose between two candidates, each of whom has
been indorsed by his own party as no fit man for the office. The Democratic statesmen have been going around warning the citizens that their candidate, Mahatma Sinclair, does rot know enough to pour paint out of a plug hat and will be sure to ruin the state if elected. The Republicans, on the other hand, insist with equal enthusiasm that their man, Mr. Merriam is a rare combination of all the qualities which make for all-round, freestyle unfitness in public office and, if left to himself, would make one
of the worst Governors in the history of the state. Os course they do not plan to leave him to himself. Any one who is at all familiar with the records of some of California's Governors of the past will realize that this bold claim on behalf of the old wrist-flip horseshoe pitcher takes in a lot of territory. n a a He Has a McNutt Trait HOWEVER, they know their man and they have reason to feel confident of his qualities. Any one who has enjoyed the privilege of a talk with Governor Merriam on important issues of the day or studied his career will have to agree that if it is passible to out-awful the worst of California's Governors up to now, the old horseshoe pitcher from lowa should be the man of the hour. There is a little of Len Small of Illinois in Governor Merriam and a little of Governor McNutt of Indiana. As an old Sunday school teacher and prohibitionist he possesses in strong measure the character of Senator-elect Bilbo of Mississippi. He remarked rather proudly to your correspondent that in all his years in various offices nobody ever had made an attempt to bribe him and took this as a mark of deference to his high honor. It did not occur to the old horseshoe pitcher that when any one wished to buy him that person would not go to him but to thase whom George Creel described as his medieval owners. One does not buy an ox for the ox. Mr. Merriam not only looks the part but. his whole career, beginning with petty political jobs in lowa and coming on through the grades in Oklahoma and southern California justifies the extravagant claims of those Republican statesmen who insist that he absolutely has no mind or will of his own and therefore ought to be elected. It would be perfectly safe for the Republicans to offer a million dollars cash, to any Democrat who could prove that Governor Merriam ever betrayed the faintest sign of progressiveness until Mahatma Sinclair frightened him into it. And certainly his record lends strong support to the insistent prediction of the Republican statesmen and newspapers that he will be the perfect model of the stuffed shirt in office if he should be elected over the Mahatma. a a a IVs a Goofy Campaign \ IT is a strange thing to hear a political party spealT thus of its candidates, but the Republicans go even farther. For the first time that your correspondent is aware of there is talk of recalling a Governor before he has been elected, in the event that he should refuse to obey the suggestions of the medieval owners alluded to by Mr. Creel. The inference is that the medieval owners will advance some brisk, progressive suggestions, but these have not been put into concrete form as yet. They may come to nothing more drastic than a declaration that an income tax or a larger inheritance tax might be an experiment, noble in purpose and worthy of the earnest consideration of the executive at some future time. Rather strangely, but in keeping with the generally goofy character of the present campaign, the Democratic statesmen are doing their worst to defeat Mr. Sinclair whereas the Republicans are doing their utmast to elect a man whom they frankly acknowledge to be an unfortunate mistake in a difficult time add for whom their mast enthusiastic indorsement is a frank “excuse it, please.” Your correspondent does not pretend to explain all this as it seems to go pretty far down into the foundations of the Democratic system of government. It also seems that the founding fathers were a mite too easy when they expressed such a profound respect for the opinions of mankind. Mankind is not so hot. Your correspondent merely thought that when the Democrats knock their own candidate and the Republicans can muster nothing more reassuring than an apology for theirs, that's news.

Your Health BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
THE knowledge that milk contained valuable factors in addition to its protein and fat. such as mineral salts and certain vitamins, brought aoout new studies. Thus it was found that milk Is deficient in vitamin C and vitamin D. It is. therefore, supplemented by the use of orange juice or tomato juice, which provides vitamin C, and of cod liver oil and similar products, which provide vitamin D. By this time, however the experts in nutrition had so fully developed the idea that milk is the most nearly perfect food and that every healthful individual ought to have from one pint to a quart of milk daily, that more and more means were developed for production of milk and for its wider utilization. Means were developed for condensing milk by removing from it water which constitutes a large part of Afresh milk, and putting it into cans for transportation. Before use, water can be added, thus restoring the condensed milk to its original fluid state, BBS MEANS were found for getting out the solid constituents of milk by drying and evaporation, using a number of different processes, so that dried milk, powdered milk, and evaporated milk are now available in addition to fresh milk and condensed milk of various kinds. Moreover, the use of cereals to which milk added regularly and the development of milk and cream soups helps to spread more widely the use of this most nearly perfect food substance. Most recent development in the way of making milk a more nearly perfect food than it already Is has been the production of milk which is given the qualities of vitamin D by a number of different processes. ts n INVESTIGATORS at the University of Wisconsin found that food substances could be irradiated directly by ultraviolet rays produced either by the carbon arc or the mercury vapor quartz light. A great deal of new machinery had to be invented for this purpose, since it is necesasry to carry away such gases as may be developed n the process, because milk has a way of absorbing odors and other materials from its atmosphere. In addition to the production of vitamin D in milk by irradiation, there is the possibility of adding vitamin D directly to the milk in the form of viosterol or irradiated ergosterol.
