JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—One of a bit of trouble. Last summer she

my best girl friends is having started going with a boy and

since then neither of them has gone out with anyone else. The girl was in love with him, but although he liked her very much he

never showed it. In September, Tony (the boy)

and I left for college. I used

to see him quite often but soon stopped. The way he talked about his girl made me angry as she is a very close friend of mine. During an argument we had, Tony asked me why I didn’t buy her picture from him if I was so interested, and just for meanriss, I did :

If selling your girl’s picture to another boy isn’t cheap, I don’t know whatys. Last week Tony came home over the week-end. He

had only mother

That evening he told her

18 years old.

Answer—It sounds to me as if

you are more interested in the

girl than Tony is, but her preference for him has relegated you to the position of friend. I wouldn't take the heart-break of an

18-year-old too seriously.

Her disappointment is painful, of “course, but she will get over it more easily than you expect. Almost every girl has a few setbacks in love and lives to tell the tale and laugh at her own intensity,

So it will be with Rose. She'll eat never fear. Tony- has not acted in a very he was afraid to mention his plan

The girl's excitement over Tony is partly due to the fact that

She doesn’t like to admit that to Tony than herself, but the

chances are that she will learn to accept what she can’t help and transfer her affection to someone who is available. It won't help for you to stand around and wring your hands over her. Talk sense to her, and if she won’t listen, let her alone. I just wonder if you aren’t in love with her yourself, and if you

are, take a leaf from Tony's book and don’t be too available.

IN U. S. INQUIRY

Arnold Insists Indictments Protect Labor From Its Enemies Within.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third of a series of dispatches about the Government’s effort to stimulate the building industry by attacking combinations that i

have restrained it.

| By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—The American Federation of Labor, in its attempts to check the Justice Department’s prosecution of rackets in the building trades, finds “its hands weakened by developments and its case growing flimsier before the public and its own members hit. : Culpability of some union executives in the network of restrictions on building has been shown in several important cases: to the satisfaction of grand juries. - These restrictions, by keeping up building prices, have impeded a major homebuilding program. This evidence is backed up by letters from rank-and-file union mems+ bers, as well as some union officials, to Thurman W. Arnold, assistant attorney general in charge of antitrust prosecutions. The letters appeal for relief from extortionate

practices. 34 Unions Indicted

Thus far 34 labor unions, some of them international organizations, and 105 members or representatives of unions, have been indicted in the Arnold crusade, along with 122 corporations, five associations, and 254 individuals connected with the building industry in one way or another. : Mr. Arnold has proceeded carefully on the basis that only illegal and racketeering activities of labor should be attacked. He has guaranteed that none of the fundamental rights and interests of labor will be affected. : William Green, president of the A. F. of L., did not condone the rackets in his protest to former Attorney General Frank Murphy, but opposed prosecution through the anti-trust statutes. He argued that these laws were not intended to apply to labor. He suggested the use of other statutes. Mr. Arnold has found that the anti-trust laws are the only ones upon which he can effectively proceed against the building trades rackets. Recognizing the abuse of the anti-trust statutes as applied to labor, he pointed out that private suits now pending against labor seek total damages of 10 million dollars. Urges Public Policing

“These suits,” he said, “have the potential power of crippling the entire labor movement. Even if labor wins, the cost of defense is staggering. They have given labor the impression that the Sherman Act is a private instrument designed solely for its opponents. “The only ren .edy for the evils of private policing is to substitute policing by public officers not responsible to private interests.” Mr. Arnold said that the department, time after time, has been asked to proceed. against| unions striking to establish the closed shop, and has refused as “the tlosed shop is generally recognized as one of the objectives for which labor may use its organized power. Therefore, a strike to maintain it is not an unreasonable combination.” “If this is a correct interpretation,” he said, “private organizations may sue for damages under the law of torts, but not for treble damages under the anti-trust law, and this ‘very substantial, hazard will be lifted from the back of labor.

Sherman Act Helps Labor

“If such an interpretation 1s wrong, labor will have a concrete case to present to Congress for relief instead of the general claim for exemption under the anti-trust laws which is so broad and so dangerous in granting arbitrary power to a private organization that I predict that it is inevitably doomed to failure.” The Sherman Act, Mr. Arnold said, “can protect the labor movement from enemies within its own ranks whom it has no power to control, who bring it into disrepute and thus give ammunition to laborbaiters. Without the intervention of

selfish men within a labor union to work themselves into autocratic power and terrorize the members of that union into helpless submission

only personal power.”

The Gallup Poll Finds—

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Publie Opinion \

PRINCETON, N. J, Jan. 31.— British public opinion on vital war

issues and political questions is being regularly measured and reported without interference in England today. Despite wartime conditions, the British Institute of Public Opinion, affiliate of the American Institute, has conducted surveys on many of the most controversial issues connected with the war, and the results have been published without censorship even when they showed a sharp division of sentiment.

Sets New Precedent

So far as is known, this is the first time in history when public opinion has been freely measured and reported in a nation during wartime. 2 Surveys already have been made on such issues as whether the British people approve the Government's conduct of the war, whether they like or dislike Prime Minister Chamberlain,” whether the British air force should bomb German military objectives even if it may mean

With some elements favoring the elevation of Mr. Churchill to the Prime Ministership, displacing Neville Chamberlain, the British Institute put this question to a crosssection of voters in England, Wales and Scotland: Be “If you had the choice between Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Churchill, which would you have as Prime Minister?” The results show a majority in favor of keeping Chamberlain in office: !

Candidate Pr omises to

Oppose Any Plan for Socialization.

| Times Special

ACTON, Ind. Jan. 31.—The idea of socialized medicine for Indiana was assailed by Judge James A. Emmert of Shelbyville in an address before the Franklin Township G. O. P. Club here last night. Judge Emmert, a candidate for th

{Republican nomination for Gover-

nor, asserted that socialized medicine “is a dangerous and unworkable experiment that would throttle medical progress by letting politics control the medical profession.” He said he was prepared to oppose

any program tending toward socialized medicine in Indiana. “We have no need for socialized medicine because indigent children under 16 years of age now receive ercellent hospital treatment at the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital or in some local hospital any judge of a circuit court may designate,” he said, “I believe in public health and

preventive medicine but I don’t

believe in letting politics run and ruin the medical profession.” He charged that compulsory insurance would require new state bureaucracy that would be more complicated “than anything yet attempted by either state or Federal Government.”
