INDIANA in 1007 passed a law for voluntary sterilization of the insane, the feeble-minded, and the hereditary criminal. Since then, twenty-seven states have ad pted laws of this kind, with a view to rutting down the number of defectives in the population. A questionnaire sent some time ago to fifteen states indicated that about 14.000 sterilizations ha\e been done, chiefly for feeble-mmdedness. dementia praecox. hereditary epilepsy, and hereditary criminality. a a a operation for sterilization involves, in the man. a simple procedure—merely tying of the tubes which carry the male sex cells from the male sex stands. In women, it involves opening the abdomen and tying the tubes which carry the female sex cells from the female sex organs, to the productive organs. Even in women, however, the operation is not exceedingly serious, since there were only three deaths in 5.000 operations and these might be attributed to extraordinary complications. In Germany an attempt has been made for national compulsory sterilization of defective persons, with a view to cutting down the total number of hereditarv defectives m the population. It is estimated that, m its population of 66.000 000. Germanv would have to sterilize 400.000 the first year Neither the courts nor the physicians, however. have been able to meet this pace. n a a IN the United States the rate for feeblc-mtndedness was around 62 out of every lon.ono persons in 1860, and around 225 m 100.000 in 1930. Obviously the advancement of social welfare and modern science is aiding to keep alive more and more defectives. It is honed that, by voluntary sterilization, the numbers will be- mewhat reduced However, already our population is so mixed that normal carriers of teeble-mmded and insane strains will continue to keep the numbers large for a good many generations to come. One expert has estimated that, for a certain form of insanity that and 1 per cent of the population. it would require four generations of sterilizations to bnng down the incidence to l j of 1 per cent, and seven generations to bring it down to ** of 1 per cent. Social welfare work and social welfare legislation represent a development of recent years, but at the same time an interference with nature's methods of getting rid of the unfit such as exist among the savages and aboriginal people. Civilization assumes these burdens and leaves it to medical science to find ways to relieve it of the burden it develops.

THE NATIONAL ROUNDUP & a a a a a By Ruth Finney

tw taSHINGTON. Nov. 19—Blue blood as well as brains is being en- ▼ listed to help solve problems ol the New Deal. Francis Biddle, who becomes chairman of the national labor board today, belongs to a family whose name is as celebrated in Philadelphia as the Cabot and Lodge names are in Boston.

Many pages of Philadelphia's blue book are devoted to members of his clan, one of the largest known to the American aristocracy. A visiting Britisher once described Philadelphia as a most curious city—a place where jne constantly ran into a family named Scrapple, and where every one ate. for breakfast, a remarkable dish called biddle. William Penn dates no far-her back in Philadelphia history than this übiquitous family. The wealthy young Biddle who will preside over the destinies of labor, brings to his task the same kind of background possessed by President Roosevelt. He, too. is a graduate of Groton and Harvard. He. too. has been interested in public affairs from young manhood on. and has viewed them with a liberal slant slightly left of center. Like President Roosevelt and Averell Harnman. another of the group of bluebloods being enlisted for public service, he has carved out a career for himself in spite of his wealth. a a a \YEAR or so ago, organized labor would have been suspicious of such a background. When Pennsylvania labor men learned that Biddle was under consideration, they did send a memorandum to the American Federation of Labor, pointing out that the Pennsylvania railroad, one of the most bitter opponents of labor organization, is a client of the law firm of wh.ch Eiddle is a member. However, after in-' vestigating. President William Green expressed himself as content with the appointment. The record showed, that among Francis Biddle's other clients have been self-help associations, organized since the depression to support themselves by means of barter; farmers' associations which fought milk distribution last year in Philadelphia, and numerous clients in cases involving defense of civil liberty. It shows, also, that Biddle is a close friend and relative by marriage of Lloyd Garrison, former chairman of the labor relations board, and is Mr. Garrisons choice for his successor. Organized labor was exceedingly well pleased with decisions of the board under Mr. Garrison. Mr. Biddle was born in Paris in 1886. Upon his graduation from Harvard he became secretary to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the supreme court. Before long he was flinging himself into the 1912 battle of Armageddon as a follower of Theodore Roosevelt. He becams treasurer of the Progressive League in Pennsylvania, and ran lor the state senate, but without success. As member of various civil organizations he he.ped draft the state vocational training and child labor acts. a a a HE was assistant United States attorney from 1922 to 1926, and since 1924 has been a member of the Philadelphia county board of law examiners. He organized the Philadelphia branch

His colleagues on the board. Harry A. Millis and Edwin S. Smith, are enthusiastic about his appointment. In the'last week he has spent considerable time with them, discussing the board’s work. Mr. Biddle will not take part in decisions on a number of important cases already heard by the board, including the petitions of Akron rubber workers for employes’ elections. The first hearing over which he will preside involves the Kaynee Manufacturing Company of Cleveland. makers of knitted wear. Six hundred of its employes are on strike, and the company has closed its plant and threatened to move it to another city.

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

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—The biggest question being asked throughout the country today is whether Mr. Roosevelt is swinging over toward definite co-operation with big business or whether he will continue his old “left of center” course. Many self-appointed oracles have answered this question. They have come from the inner Presidential sanctum to proclaim that Roosevelt is going right in a big way; or that he is going left more definitely than ever. Talk to either side and you get a different view.

This divergence is due chiefly to the fact that the President is toying with the always hazardous game of going in both directions at the same time. This is a blunt way of putting it. But the fact is that he is being pulled prodigiously not merely by business and labor on the outside, but by members of his own official family on the inside. And the result has not been coherent. The pulling began after the Green Bay speech last summer. Written in large part by Professor Ray Moley, it pledged a program of social aid for the Forgotten Man, with the continued rigid regulation of big business. The effect was to send cold shivers down the spine of almost every monied interest in the country and undoubtedly was one factor in the threatened strike of capital late last summer. n a a IMMEDIATELY after the Green Bay speech, Roosevelt received calls from some of the good old Jefferson Democrats in his cabinet. Among them was Cordell Hull of Tennessee, arch-enemy of Ray Moley. Another was Dan Roper, secretary of commerce, a believer in co-operation with business. They urged caution. They thought their chief had gone too far. Regulation of business was all right, they said, but they thought it was not necessary to scatter a lot of bloody heads around the economic horizon. Simultaneously, Roosevelt's advisers say he came to the conclusion that labor had over-reached itself. The strike in San Francisco, and particularly the strike in the textile industry, convinced him that labor had the bit in its teeth and would run away with the country unless jerked to a quick halt. Since then, even Professor Moley has gone a touch conservative. He has been attending weekly luncheons as the guest of New York business men. And undoubtedly some of the things they have whispered to ,Moley have got to the ear of the President. For he has been calling in some of the big business moguls lately for pleasant "advisory" talks. The moguls have gone away distinctly delighted. ana ON top of all this came the elections and overwhelmingly victory. The results were interpreted by even- one. including the President, as an unequivocal vote of confidence in his policies. And these policies, for the most part, have been liberal, progressive, and some of them even radically left. Roosevelt indicated to one adviser that he was now more inclined than ever to keep left. For two reasons: First, because his left policies had been approved by the mass of the people; second, because he sensed a strong

got to get together and make it better. And I’m dead sure we can. We’ve got to!” "Don’t you forget, young fellow, that I’ve got forty years of experience in business. I still know more about what’ll work and what won’t than some of you young fellows!” Pa Jones’ voice began to rise. “Some of these things are against all experience. They won’t work!” “Sure, dad,” John Jr. rejoined. “You’ve got more experience and more knowledge than I have. But maybe I see some things that you don’t see, too. “Don’t we have to work it out together? Can’t we use both your experience and my hopes? I have to look farther ahead than you do—” “Now boys,” Ma Jones cut in. "You eat your suppers. That’s fr* enough to look ahead right at this minute. Tomorrow—” (Copyright. 1934.

undercurrent of radicalism in the country ready to go much further than he ever thought of going. However, Roosevelt is a great student of history. Particularly, he is a student of Napoleon. It was Napoleon's policy to offer his enemies a truce when he was riding the crest of .victory. a a a Roosevelt now is riding such a crest. If those closest to him read his mind correctly, he is now ready to offer big business a modified truce. Regulation will be continued—though how rigid it will be, remains to be seen. Confidence in the investing market will be encouraged. For above almost anything else right now. Roosevelt is anxious to get private funds flowing, start business carrying the burden of expenditure which the government, so far, has shouldered. This, then, is the new goal: Friendly co-operation with business, without crack-downs, hut with firm regulation on behalf of the public; and in regard to Labor, not as much favoritism as in the past. Whether the President can do this without alienating the growing radical opinion which he himself senses, only the next two years can tell. 'CoDvrieht 1934 bv United Feature Svndicate. Ine.i

Fair Enough HMPEtlft NEW YORK. Nov. 19 JAMES J. WALKER Care ihe London Sunday Dispatch LONDON. ENGLAND DEAR JIMMY—It says in the papers here that you have been hirrd to do a column of wise and witty comment once a week and I thought you might enjoy a few lines of commiseration from one who has suffered. You may think you know how it goes but you can not possibly know how it goes until you have come to bat a few- times with

the deadline coming on and you with nothing on paper yet but "By Jimmy Walker” and tne date. First, you get lot of newspapers and stall through them, starting fairly early in the day. You read them from cover to cover, including even the professional cards of the attorneys who specialize in Mexican divorces and those lit le items, way back among the goiter ads, which are slugged “Crazed farmhand slays frur'. maims three, et.ds own life in Arkansas." The object of this reading is not, as you will tell the lirtle woman,'to develop an idea for your

column, the object is. as you very well know, to stall off the zero hour. After you have exhausted the papers you always can pet the cat or dog. if any or. possibly, answer the phone. But that does not take long, and the dreadful moment arrives when, for better or worse, you have to start setting down one little word after another. This is an awful time. It is even worse if you confront the keyboard with a last-minute, panicky realization that the idea which you tossed off the night before when you had a few cocktails aboard isn’t any good after alj. There is no worse sensation in life than to discover that an idea which you had been counting on all day has turned sour and will have to be poured down the sink. BBS Noggin Ideas Are Flops I SELDOM place any reliance on those cocktail ideas any more. They sound all right to a group of friends who also have gnawed off a few noggins, but when you sit down to go into your act you will realize that you aren't writing for friends. You are writing for customers and you will wonder how you ever could have imagined that that one could suffice for a column. Piobablv it wasn’t an idea at all, but just a crack and not any too good, at that. Shower bath ideas are better, but even they have a tendency to wipe off on the towel. Another thing which you must remember is that there is a great difference between the spoken word and the written one. We had a terrible illustration of that a few years ago when a moving picture comedian decided that he couldn’t be much worse than another moving picture comedian who was making a lot of money with a little daily piece for the syndicates. So he sold himself to a big syndicate for about fifty words a day in the same style. They ran a series of tickler-ads in the paper for about two weeks and billed his face all over the delivery wagons and at last, ta-ra-ra. he was ready to go. There never has been a more terrifying flop in the history of our business. The trouble was that on the stage or screen he always had been able to cover up poor material by yelling "hotcha” or squirting somebody in the eye with a siphon. I mention this to you because you always used to depend pretty much on your eyebrows for your laughs. You had a funny way of cocking your head and shooting out your lower lip, too. I just want to warn you that, in print, your material goes as it lays. If it flops it just lies dead and you can't help it by falling on your face or pulling funny snoots. a a tt His S tor if s Pathetic BUT I don’t see why you want to specialize in wise and witty comment, anyway, when you have such fascinating information to use in your column. You have the one of the most pathetic personal stories of your time in the United States, if you will only tell it, in your own version of the tragic collapse of your own career. How did it happen to go haywire, anyway? I remember you as a gay and flippant, though somewhat spoiled, political prodigy in the New York legislature. I recall that when you were elected mayor of New York I thought you either would have to change your associations and point of view or go to smash. Os course, I realize that you were the kind of man who set great store by the w >rd “pal" but I realized, too, that you were pretty well surrounded by a lot of wolfish honest Johns in town who wouldn't care what happened to their pal, Jimmy, as long as they got theirs. I thought that for your own pride and selfrespect you would try to grab hold of yourself and do a good job in the New York city hall. But you threw down yourself, your town and your training to be loyal to the worst people you knew. Well, so look at you now. People who come back from the other side say you love New York and are eating your heart out in England, wanting to come home. If you love New York so much how came you to treat New York as you did when you had your chance? If you had it to do again would you try to do justice to yourself and honor to your name this time? What do you think of money, as money, by now? What have you got to say for yourself, anyway? That is a column nobody else can write. But are you going to write wise and witty comment instead. All right, and good luck, but remember—vou cant jiggle your eyebrows on paper. Sincerely, WESTBROOK PEGLER. (Copyright. 1934. bv United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

Today s Science Bl DAVID DIETZ

Meteorologists are just begining to leam how turbulent the errth's atmosphere really is. The winds and storms encountered upon the earth’s surface are trifles compared to those of the upper atmosphere. •We live in the undertow or backwash of the great currents of air that flow silently overhead," Edward H Bowie, principal meteorologist cf the San Francisco weather bureau states in a report prepared for the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. This state of motion, he continues, is brought about by the unequal neating of the earth's surface by the sun. a e a THE result of the unequal heating of the earth’s atmosphere, coupled with the deflective influence of the earth's rotation, is to cause major atmospheric flows, Mr. Bowie continues. These include “the prevailing westerlies of extratropical regions and the easterlie.s—trade winds—of the tropics, the latter separated by the equatorial belt of cairns. “These are associated with currents and returncurrents between the warmer and colder regions of the tropical and polar areas, and these in turn are associated with the cyclones and anti-cyclones that are depicted on the daily weather man as 'lows’ and 'highs, respectively.’’ ana MR BOWIE also gives the composition of the earth’s atmosphere. It is as follows: Nitrogen, 78.03 per cent; oxygen, 20.99 per cent; argon, .9323 per cent; carbon dnxide, .03 per cent; hydrogen, .01 per cent; neon. .0018 per cent: helium, .0005 per cent; krypton, .0001 per cent, and xenon, .000009 per cent. Pure dry air is never found near the earth’s surface Mr. Bowie says. It is always contaminated by the presence of water vapor which may be as much as 5 per cent by volume on very warm days.
