FOR IMPROVED
BOARD RULINGS
There will be fewer arbitrary
ruling by fndnrnl bureau lirndn
In Ihti future, In the opinion of
Congressman Wnltir M. Pierre
expressed In n loiter to a lociil
mnnufiirturer.
Within the pint month the
miimifui'turer w rote Pierce, rep
resentative of Oi-gon at Wash
I ii K ton , Unit he win very much
concerned nboiil the arbitrary
policy of ndinlnliitrator of ihc
fair labor stanrtnrds act, the so
clnl security hoard and other
government agencies. I la point
ed out that the federal courts
huvo recently had occasion to
reverie, In no uncertain terms,
noma of their ruling. For ex
ample, he ald:
"The federal district court at
Atlanta ruled that the require
ment of a minimum saliiry of
3U a wook, fixed by tho ad
ministrator ai ona of the quali
fications for exemption from the
fair labor standards act a nn
executive employee, ha no reas
onable beurlnil on the question
whether im Individual la em
employed In an executive ca
pacity. The federal district court at
Dalian holds that tho adminis
trator's definition of "urea of
production," In Us llmltinK of
exemption to firm employing
lew than a certain number of
workers. I "Illegal, unconstitu
tional, capricious and arbitrary."
The manufacturer pointed out
further ta Itppresentallve Pierce
that the policy followed by
Washington bureau chiefs had
been to make rulings and defi
nitions which to uso the words
of the Dallas Judge, were "ca
pricious and arbitrary." Their
practice has been to take the
advantage on their side In all
rases, whereas In all fairness to
the public, they should share
with them the advantages of
ambiguous terms In the law.
To the above letter. Repre
sentative Pierce wrote as fol
lows: "Your criticism of the find
ings of the boards Is well taken,
and ! am Imping that In the fu
ture we will get a better break.
The president has put some new
blood In power, and I hope that
tho decisions It renders will
prove more fair for nil concern
ed than those which have been
handed riowu by bonrds In the
past. Our whole way of life Is
In too much danger to be threat
ened at this time by such pro
red lire."
A CHILD'S REALITY
WOOD RIVER, 111., W) A
radio report that the war had

brought despair to one six-year-old
boy's heart when he heard
It:
"They've Just Invaded toy
land, mother," ho cried. "The
man on the radio said the Japs
havo started bombing toylnnd."
It was some time before the
mother calmed him by explain
ing that the Invaded country
was Thailand and not the win

Possible Bomb Attacks on
U. S. Viewed By Defenders
NEW YORK, Dec. 18 (Wide
World) Air mid precautions on
both senboards of continental
United States call for an examin
ation of tho possibilities of
bomber attacks.
Sooner or later attempts to
launch such ottucks probably
will occur. In that knowledge,
the armed services and the nn
tlonnl and munlclpnl govern
ments are taking precautions.
At the sumo time, axis war
planes would encounter conxld
crublo difficulty In reaching
American cities, Industrial
plants and military objectives.
Those difficulties need not
provo Insurmountable, esprcial
ly for "token" bombers bidding
desperately to filter through our
defenses.
First of all, It must be borne
in mind that military men, like
executives running large busi
ness houses, try to effect un
economy of expenditures for a
given result. That Is to say, a
naval commander would not dis
patch a flotilla of warships to
rapture an Island which had no
military consequence,.
Gain Involves Risk
The chief of an air force
would not employ 300 valuable
bombers to destroy a bridge of
secondary military value The
strenuous German air force at
tacks on England in August and
September, 1940, were called
off because they were too ex
pensive In men and material for
the results obtained.
If bombers were launched
against cither American shore,
It would have to be been use tho
officers who dspatched them
were convinced that the gain In
volved warranted the risk.
Hero another consideration
enters In political expediency
While a bombing attack might
have no military value, one
might be rodered by a high com
mand for Its political effect. The
axis could hope for a bad po
litical effect by reducing Amer
ican civilian morale.
Broadly speaking, a nattcmpt
to bomb American shores would
be difficult In the presence of
adequate sen and air patrols.
Those patrols have been cstnb
llshed on both seaboards. Bul
warking such patrols are secret
devices to detect the approach
of enemy aircraft.
Difficult Aoproich
It would be well to point out
that neither patrols nor devices
to thwart surprise attacks are
completely tnfnlliblo. Surface
raiders carrying aircraft and
long-range planes fnm dlstnnt
bases, flying nt great altitude,

Mitigating against the chance
of raids on either coast arc: (1)
the difficulty of approaching
with standard nircruft carriers
or seaplane tenders or seaplane
carriers In the face of a determ

distance which big bombers
would have to truvel, from
buses now available, to conti
nental United Stales.
Simplifying the task of de
fense raids are the fnr-flung At

established in the last 19 months

sists of reconnaissance planes
carrying light bombs, fighter
planes, torpedo bombers and
dive bombers.
Similar planes con be carried
on catapults by battleships and
cruisers.
Dive Bombers
An exception to the statement
thot heavy bombers cannot be
carried by surface ships is the
catapult bomber of about 20 tons
gross weight known to be pos
sessed by Germany. The range
of such planes, however, is lim
ited (possibly 2500 miles), their
bomb loads ore restricted, and
each vessel could carry not
more than three pi es. More
probably only two could be car
ried. Of the es carried by sur
face ships with landing decks,
only dive bombers would be
used against cities, factories and
military strongholds. Tho flying
range of such planes a few
hundred miles would force the
attacking carrier to approach so
close to American shores that it
would lay itself open to the
chance of devastating attacks by
defending sea and air forces.

craft carriers Japan has Is un
