I The Railroads Awake
To celebrate the rejuvenation of the railroads, their
modernization with stream line trains, their costly air con
ditioning of passenger trains, which make summer travel a
V : pleasure, their speed annihilating schedules, railroad week
f - is to be observed beginning June 10.
For years the railroads marked time while buses stole
their passenger traffic and trucks their freight and relegated
many branch lines to obsolescence, victims of technological
' unemployment. Now they have awakened to reclaim business
for which they are peculiarly adapted. The craze for long
' distance auto trips is subsiding and because of their greater
'" safety and comfort the railroads are entering a new era.
Preliminary to railroad week was the christening at the
Rose show of the new :Union Pacific stream-liner "City of
" Portland," Deisel engine driven, minimizing air resistance,
i . lightened in construction with increased safety, air condi-
, tioned, with record speed schedules. Other railroads are
.' establishing similar trains, the Milwaukee the "Hiawatha"
- the Burlington the "Zepher" etc., trains whose schedules
i call for a mile a minute with capacity for two miles a minute
i ' maximum.
'; These stream-lined trains show what railroads can do,
:' but more practical service is the speed-increasing, rate
i . reducing, air conditioning campaign in progress, giving the
s ' public speed, safety, comfort and economy never before ap
: ; proached. Rates have been slashed, especially on round trip
; tickets and a dozen of the railroads have pooled their pub-
licity efforts. in a wide advertising campaign in the 348 daily
; newspapers of the west,, to popularize railroads and create
i ..." business improved service merits.
Second List Missed
When congress repealed the "pink slip" publicity pro
. ; vision of the income tax law, it was supposed the effort to
A ' supply busy-bodies with details of their neighbors' or rivals'
' . business was ended. But it appears not for another part of
i :' the law, which provides publicity for incomes of $ 15,000 or
, , . more-was retained.
This section known as "148-D," requires the secretary of
" the treasury to "submit an annual report to congress com
piled from the returns made containing the names of, and
amounts paid to, each officer and employe and name of the
- paying corporation" where the total compensation is in ex
cess of 15,000. " And as every annual report made to con
r . gress 18. given publicity, the private incomes will become pub
; ' lie property, for those who want to misuse the information.
' The compiling of a national list, with the amounts re
, ' ceived will include the exact amount paid for "salary, com-
mission; bonus, or other compensation for personal services
r - rendered." It goes far beyond the individual's relationship
J to an employer. It will mean the recording of every fee re-
f ceived by an attorney, indeed all compensation for profes-
; siorial service which is rendered by an individual who har
; . pens not to be incorporated. It will make an ideal sucker
:. list for snoopers, security peddlers, kidnapers, blackmailers
J and for salesmen.
''. Before congress adjourns it should complete the work
) of pink slip repeal by rescinding this section of income tax
! ; publicity which serves no uspful purpose. .
I MacDonald Retires

"i time days, who became England's first labor prime minister

since 1929, has resigned as premier because of failing health

by conservatives, will comprise representatives of all niirties

kitchen which, with red flagstones
smelling of soft soap and old cor

by far the most cheerful part of
the houM.
"Not a sign of a spook!"
"What about upstairs?'
"We'll try down here first."
"That only leads into the cellar,"
protested Alison.
"May's well be thorough, though."
She fancied that he gave her a
quick, frowning look, as she hung
back. "What's the matter?"
Supposing he's behind us and
locks the door?"
The young man took a step back
and dragged the cellar key oJt of
the lock. "There,"
He swung the lantern, letting its
beams fall on a larder with long
stone shelves, a very modern heat
ing stove and a recess which had
once been a baking oven.
Very old, the cellars ran the whole
length of the house; a chain of
small, black, wlndowless rooms cut
off from one another by closf ,
wooden gratings and full of black.
ajarmlng corners, empty but for
the peeling plaster and a smell of
mice.
At the farthest end a coal cellar
to the right held a foot of coal
dust; a storeroom, on the left, con
tained shelves with half a dozen
rotting apples; a narrower central
room ended In a dark, neep recess
under the front stairs.
Here two broken deck chairs, a
shallow heap of straw, a small pack
ing case up-ended and a great roll
of new linoleum threw uncomfort
able shadows.
But though they swung the light
there was no sign of either man or
ghost.
Ahl" The young man stopped
suddenly.
"what?" Alison asked breathless.
"Main switch, lighting. Half a
second"
"Oh!"
The cry burst from her before
she could stop it. He jumped back
so swiftly that ber ore the souna
was out, he was beside her, ready.
Bang!
The tail roll of linoleum had
been rocking, now it fell straight
back with a tremendous crash Into
the recess under the stairs, sending
a chain of echoes through cellars
behind. At the same instant, from
the prostrate linoleum, a large gray
rat darted with a flash of pink-
webbed paws and naked tail, plumb
between Alison's feet and into the
dark coal cellar, where it vanished.
Her companion laughed cheerful
ly. "For a moment I thought we
had him, didn't you? But I think
we'll leave the lights on, just for
luck."
There were three switches and
he turned them all on; the cel
lars changed in & twinkling from
ghost-haunted caverns of gloom and
mystery to mere storerooms, lined
with cobwebs and disgraceful dust
Gaining the kitchen steps again, he
turned the key In the door.
"There! If your friend's down
there he'll have to exit by the
walls. Where now?"
"Would It be an awful bother to
look upstairs? I mean, before you
go?" she asked shyly. "I'm not
generally such a fool but
"ltd be no bother at all. But
I'm not going till your father
comes.
She did not even try to conceal
her relief.
"That's awfully good of you."
"Not a bit." He said tt warmly.
So warmly thnt It embarrassed them
both, and he was quick to add,
"What about some light on the
situation?
"Let's turn them all on," agreed
Alison.
Sitting rooms, halt, kitchen, pant
ry, even cupboards they switched
every bulb on and left them all
blazing. The front door was lock
ed and every window shut except
the pantry, which they fastened
too.
The bedrooms seemed to be fur
nished without exception In the
cheapest fashion with old Iron and
brass bedsteads, lumpy woolen mat-
tre.tses, worn white paint and faded
wallpapers; in one rront room lay
Alison's suit-case, open, as she had
left It when she went to wash and
brush up.
What an age It seemed since she
had knelt there, nevously hum

ported "Not here," and they went
on to the bathroom. Alston could
not repress a shiver as she peered
In; then the caught sight of her
own face.
"D'you mind waiting just a mo
ment, while I get my powder?" she
asked, very conscious of a nose
that shone.
"Ill wait out here."
Yet she hurried. To be alone In
the bathroom brought back to vivid
ly the horror of that gray face, al
though she was whistling loudly,
cheerily, as he strolled about the
passages.
An understanding person, she de
cided, who guessed how she felt and
was deliberately letting her know
that he was close at hand. Some
cold water splashed Into her face,
a comb ran quickly through ait
hair, that glinted with gold lights, a
touch of cream between her dark
eyebrows and thick lashes to hide
the last trace of tears.
Then, with powder, coral rouge
and coral lipstick she was ready.
"Feeling definitely better!" she
announced.
He had lighted a pipe and wa.i
leaning back against the wall re
signedly as she came out, and as
he straight need up she had an Im
pression that those startling light
eyea of his swept over her approv
ing.
"You certainly look happier."
"It I may say so, I think you
need a. cup of hot coffee more
What about trying to make some?"
"There Isnt any. I looked for
food and couldn't see any," said
Alison.
"But If your father" He stop
ped short.
Alison said nothing. The same
thought had struck her.

HOUSE PASSES
STOP GAP NRA
BY HUGE VOTE
(Continued from page 1
other practices which were legal
under the codes are continued by
voluntary agreement.
President Roosevelt said ending
of the codes had left business sub
ject to all statutes, and he was
sworn under the constitution to en
force them.
The NRA extension resolution was
sent to the senate, which has nine
dadyds to act before the present
law expires June 16.
The resolution, In conformance
with the supreme court decision, re
voked all of the president's powers
to approve and enforce codes. Some
democrats, however, believed It
would permit voluntary compacts.
Washington, June 7 OP) Over
whelming approval of the resolution
extending a !'stop-gsp" NRA or
ganization was clearly forecast to
day when the house voted 280 to 100
to take up the measure Immediately
and limit debate to one hour.
This came after President Roose
velt, at a press conference, had em
phasized that all voluntary codes of
fair practice . must conform to the
anti-trust laws.
The vote was on what was called
a "special rule" making It In order
to proceed Immediately to debate
and consider the NRA extension
resolution.
Party lines were clearly drawn
with most republicans voting "no
after Representative O'Connor of
New York, a democratic leader, ral
lied his huge party majority with
these remarks:
'The NRA Is not dead; we will
not let It die. It Is not a political
issue, and the Lord help those wh'.
try to make it one."
A constitutional amendment to
give congress the power "to make
all laws which, In Its Judgment,
shall be necessary to provide for the
general welfare of the people" was
proposed by Representative Keller
(D.-1UJ.
"The object of the resolution Is
to put the constitution back Into the
form in which It was originally
drafted, and in the form in which
it will meet the needs of the people
at the present time," he explained.
"The preamble of the constitution
states that this union was formed
'to establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general wel
fare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our . pos
terity." But the courts have held that
the preamble has no force or effect
as to the ability of congress to pass
laws. The time has come when we
must do our duty by the people."
The A. F. of L. denounced the
program as Inadequate. The seven
republican members of the ways
and means committee submitted a
bristling critical report.
The minority charged that fail
ure to enforce codes under the orig
inal act served "to-encourage vio
lation," that the NRA was merely!
an emergency, measure anyway, and
that the administration was negli
gent in not having ready a suitable
substitute.
"The administration 6hould havt
been prepared for this contingency,
said the minority report, adding
that "the uncertainty of purpose on
the part of the present admlnlstra-
tlon is bound to have a detrimental
effect" on business confidence.
The republicans proposed that the
resolution be tossed aside and th
federal trade commission Invest!
gate possibilities of trade agree
ments which would be contingent
and enforcable on the basis of meet
ing original minimum NRA re
quirements. At his regular press conference
the president was asked by Robert
Cromle, editor of the Vancouver
Sun. of Canada:
"What would you say was the
social objective of the administra
tion?" ' '
At first Mr. Roosevelt :replied
"That Is a difficult subject to
discuss, offhand. It would take ah
hour or two at least."
Then after a long puff on his
cigarette, he pushed back his chair
and said.
"The social objective. I should
say, remains Just what it was,
which Is to do what any honest
government of any country would
do: to try to increase tha security
and the happiness of a large num
ber of people In all occupations ot
life and In all parts of the country
to give them more of the good
things of life; to give them a great
er distribution, not only of wealth
In the narrow terms but of wealth
in the wider terms: to give them
places to go In the summer time
recreation; to give them assurance
that they are not going to starve
In their old age; to give honest busi
ness a chance to go ahead and
make a reasonable profit, and to
give everyone a chance to earn a
living.
"And I think that we era get
ting somewhere toward our objec
tive."
Oris newspaperman asked if th.
direct quotations might be used.
The president replied that could be
done if he had an opportunity to
look over his words. In a few min
utes the statement was made public.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, June 7 The new
deal press agent system has been
denounced as an oclppus strangling
all truth, and praised as a device
to turn on the light of publicity
Those who have come most close
ly In contact with it have found
It Is frequently neither.
It functions at Its best and its
worst In the publicity headquarters
of the bureau of national parks.
Interior department. There the
delicate and subtle propaganda em
anates dally. The only reason you
have not heard about it is that
most panting correspondents neglect
to read such world-shaking hand
outs, as, for Instance, the recent
one from that source slugged:
"Prize winners at eating contests."
The text of this malicious and
insidious effort to mislead the press
follows In part:
Two woodchucks, known to Yel
lowstone park rangers as Tulle and
'Oluttony' Oert (the quotation
marks are those of the press agent) .
won top honors at a recent tesi
banquet which Included everything
from "soup to nuts." Tillie consum
ed three blueberry pies, lour large
candy bars, two kelly rolls, half a
dozen sandwiches, ana nnisnea
with two packages of salted pea
nuts. Five minutes after complet
ing this bountiful meal she was
back asking for more.'
If you have not tired yet, the
vicious subversive effort continues:
"'Gluttony' Gert did away with
ten flapjacks of no mean size, four
bars of candy, a sack of cookies
and topped It of with three hard
boiled eggs to aid digestion. Still
not satisfied, she took to nibbling
grass when the food gave out."
The handout admits that DO'.n
Tillie and Gertie lived.
No doubt this will be construed
as an effort to extend purchasing
power by encouraging over-eating.
Flouting The propaganda ap
proach Is more direct In another
handout from tne same source,
headed: "Animal Codes of Fair
Competition." Apparently the ani
mals had not at that time realizec
they were unconstitutional, but, at
any rate, the official propaganda
announcement says:
Codes of fair competition are
prescribed in the latest novelty In
contests Initiated in Mount Ranter
National Park, Washington. Ground
squirrels are the contestants. The
objective Is to see which can carry
the greatest number of peanuts in
its cheeks.
Ordinarily an average ground
squirrel, weighing half a pound, has
a carrier capacity of 32 nan nuts
or It peanuts. But with their
sporting blood aroused, capacity
limit has been extended to more
than 50. To date the record hold-
er has stowed away 64 half pea
nuts and the runner-up 61. Visiting
tourists supply the provender." (Note
the statistics).
Evaluation Any casual observer
will notice again the use of the
over-consumption philosophy In this
indirect effort to Influence public
opinion. To realize the proper
scope of it, you must consider that
thousands of copies of sucn stun
are handed out by government press
agents dally. The expense of it all
Is footed by taxpayers.
The material here cited is not
exactly a fair example of the gen
eral run of handouts, but it affords
the opportunity to estimate accur
ately the value of some.

MRS. QUACKER'M UPSET
By Mary Graham Bonner
"Oh dear, oh dear what have I
done?" quacked Mrs. Quacker mis

salad was a most absurd one. She no
longer had any dignity or grandeur.
She looked messy, she was ashamed,
and she wss a very humble duck.
Mrs. Quacko, as such a good host
ess, had plenty of extra salad. The
lot Into which Mrs. Quacker had
fallen was as much for "show" pur
poses as anything else. Nor was Mrs.
Quacko the kind of hostess to be dis

But now she was really pleased by

who would really and truly have to
apologize to her. Not only that Mrs.
Quacker would be asnamed of this

Quacker had been awkward and that
she never wanted to be.
She was receiving attention of a
kind she .did Dot tike. The little
ducks were giggling, holding their
wings before their beaks to try to
hide th eamusement they felt and
tha older ducks were looking sur
prised and all admiring the way Mrs.
Quacko was behaving.
"There, there," said Mrs, Quacko,
"that's quite all right, Mrs. Quacker.

feathers haven't been hurt In any

take out all the stains, I know."
Mrs. Quacker was grateful to Mrs.

they take are Just as serious. For
example, the federal communica

made no announcement of the fact
but the commission has sent out to
field agents a confidential order
Instructing them to report any "un
warranted or libelous attacks on
public officials."
This order was sent out live
months ago, In January. So far.
there is no evidence that the com
