John T. Says: Explains Stand on AFL's $4000 a Year Proposal. By JOIIN T. FYLNN NBA Ccrvlcc Slnft Correspondent Allege Rating nestored; Hike Fund Demand Class Rating Restored oArkansas for Probation Period NEED $30,000 YEAR Appropriation Must Be Raised From $70,000 to $100,000 Carl E. Bailey of Arkansas said Sunday night he had been notified thai Ihe Universily of Arkansas Medical School at Little Rock had been placed back on the approved list of the American Medical Association for a probationary period.

Rating Restored After a conference with the A. M. Council on Education, Bailey said Dr. William Cutter, chairman, informed him that the school's rating had been restored and the committee would outline in writing "the conditions which must be met lo retain the rating." "I feel the requirements will not be more than we can meet," Governor Bailey said, asserting he and other officials had explained lo the council that $750,000 had been spent for a new building and equipment in an effort to meet requirements which the council outlined after a survey in 193G. "We were notified in that we would have until June, 1933, to correct conditions," the governor said.

"To our surprise, we were told in June, 1938, that we had been taken off the approved list." lo Be Required The governor said he tad explained to the council that the Arkansas legislature which meets in January, would be asked to correct conditions with an increased appropriation. The council indicated. Governor Bailey said, that an increase from $70,000 to $100,000 annually would be enough to provide hospital and clinical facilities which the council had requested. Others who appeared before the commitlee were Dr. John C.

Futrall, president of Ihe university, Dr. Frank Vinsonhaler, dean of the Medical School; Dr. F. A. Corn, Will Steel, and Shult, 'trustees of the university.

Dr. Futrall said he understood the school had until June, 1939, to meet requirements of the A. M. A. for permanent restoration of approved rating.

rnck on the American Federation of Labor's proposed goal American family. The protests take the form! of lashing out gainst nnyone who thinks a laborer should not try to improve his condition or anyone who opposes labor's efforts to organize to do that. Why, they rusk, should not a workman try to earn $4000 a year. Of course there Is no reason why a workman should not want to earn $4000 a year and every reason why he should organize in union to advance the interests of himself and his fellow workers. No one is more for that than I am.

What I called attention to was the proclaimed goal of the A. F. of L. to establish an income of $4000 a year for every American, family. And I did so not because I would not like see all American families enjoy such good fortune but because American workers who have so many serious and important objectives to achieve are diverted from them by these futile ob- James Roosevelt Gets Movie Post President's Son Joins Samuel Golchvyn, as Vice-President HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

James Roosevelt, eldest son of the president, announced Sunday he had entered the motion picture industry as vice president of Samuel Coldwyn Inc. The nature of his work and the salary were not disclosed. Roosevelt was in seclusion, but through Jock Lawrence, assistant to Goldwm, lie issued a statement saying: "I consider myself very fortunate to have an opportunity to join the motion picture industry and lo work with Mr. Goldwyn in continuing the record of service which this industry has so long maintained." Roosevelt last month gave up the job as secretary to his lather. After an operation three months ago for a stomach ulcer he went to the Hollistcr, ranch of his- friend, Waller Murphy.

He flew here twice from Hollislcr and conferred with Goldwyn. Yesterday he attended the Notre Dame- Snulhurn California football game with Louis B. Mayer, head of M-G-M studio, and J. F. T.

O'Connor, former controller of the currency. jectivcs. But there is another reason for calling attention to it. I did so because I thought this announced plan characteristic of what I consider a weakness of the A'. F.

of L. That weakness is found in the fact that the A. F. of according to my views, is not interested in every American family, but only in the group of families which belong to the A. F.

of L. The only way to gel $-1000 for American workers now is at the expense of other American workers. Gel Goal Straight At present three out of every four American workers earn less than $2500 and over a third of the workers earn less than $1000. The great goal of labor now should he to meet the grave and difficult problm of raising the wages of these forgotten groups who earn less than $1000 a this means, remember, in -mlany cases as low ps $500 a year. Tiie only way this can be done is by organizing all the workers.

Laws like workmen's- compensation, old age pensions, unemployment insurance and minimum wage laws are made for the protection of the great unorganized groups more than any others. But if we have not had laws like these for years, I believe it was partly because the A. F. of L. was not interested in the low wage workers.

A at Record Samuel Gompers opposed even workmen's compensation for years. Years ago the A. F. of L. fought health insurance along with Civic federation and the insurance companies.

The A. F. of L. opposed unemployment insurance until 1932. It fought for years the minimum wage law and it opposed old age pensio'ns at one time.

The same method that was followed in determining cotton acreage allotments under the 1938 farm program is being used in setting up the allotments for 1939, Mr.

Adams said. "Many persons arc interested in the details of how the cotton acreage allotment of an individual farm is established," Mr. Adams states. "The procedure is laid down in the law and the com'm'itleos must follow this procedure. It is the same for all fanners.

All Given Allotments In general, all farms which have produced cotton in any of the past three years receive allotments. For farms on which the highest planted and divereted cotto nacreage during the past three years is five acres or less, (he farm's allotment is the highest cotton acreage planted and diverted during the 3-year period. For farms on which the highest cotton acreage planted and diverted dfar- ing the previous three years is more than five acres, th farm's allotment is based on a fixed percentage of the farm's cropland excluding the acres noi'm'ally devoted to the commercial production of sugar cane for sugar, wheat, tobacco, and rice. This percentage will be the same for all farms within a county or administrative area. A small reserve will be available for with allotments between five and fifteen acrcaes.

No farm will have an allotment greater than the highest cotton acreage planted and diverted during the past three years. Tlie law provides, however, that notwithstanding the other provisions no allotment is to be less than 50 per cent of the 1937 planted and diverted cotton acreage on the farm, unless an increase to 50 per cent might cause the allotment to exceed 40 per cent of the farm's tilled land. A small reserve acreage is available in each State for allotment to farms producing cotton in 1939 but which did not produce any cotton in three preceding years.

'Cherchez La Femme' Good Advice, 'He Says CLEVELAND-Is the criminal right when he says "a woman was the cause of it all?" Half the time, yes says statistical- minded George Kocstle of Cleveland. When il's not a woman, it's usually narcotics or alcohol. Kocstle, who at 73 is America's "dean of fingerprints," gained his knowledge during a half century of "mugging" suspects and tracing the mysterious whorls and loops that send men to prison and the electric chair. He hns been told by many lawbreakers, pacing their barren cell.s, that they staged their first holdup or robbed their first store to "get something" for a woman.

His investigation shows at least half of them were jright. Through the years, as Koestle filled his lell-lal some other filing cabinels, he learned things. For instance, women who engage in crime themselves usually begin with shoplifting. Men are different. They prefer to become "specialists" in pocket picking, forgery or more dastardly pursuits.

Koestle has headed Cleveland's police identification division since the '90s. He believes environment the criminal. By environment he homes where NO definite line- has been drawn between good and evil. Entranced by his work, he has declined higher rank, but because of new city retirement law, he must retire December 31. So lie expects to find himself with more "free time" for his pet studying fingerprints.

G.O.P.inDoubtof Some Republicans Scramble to Get Back in Conservative Ranks By PRESTON GROVER WASHINGTON It is almost fun these days to cover a Republican National Committee fun for the first time in six years. It is no fun to attend funerals, and Republican meetings for six years have been funerals, no less.

Forlorn faces told forlorn stories and made forlorn predictions of party victory, when all the while everybody knew there wasn't a ray of honest optimism. Now the parly faces, once so long, are positively growing. There are other changes, too Some of Ihe parly leaders have abandoned Iheir effort to make the p- a rty sound that is, too liberal. The last election looked to the Republicans like at least a partial repudiation of liberalism as defined by President Roosevelt. The net result that some Republicans may is prefer now to be known as conservative rather than liberal.

Even John Hamilton. national chairman, hesitates now to call a man a liberal, willy nilly In 1936 everybody who had any- tlung to do with the party was glibly described by Hamilton and oilier part yleaders as a great liberal statesman.
