II your playmates jeer "sissy" at you, don't feel bad, sonny; they're doing it because they're really the sissies. This kind word came today from Dr. Nita Mieth. chairman of the Chicago association for the study of advancement of individual psychology. Little boys who play with girls and usually get called sissies are usually less timid than those who like to show off, Dr.

Mieth said. Those who are quick to yell "sissy" generally do so to hide their conviction that they aren't equal to the one who is derided, she added. "Actually there Is no basis for the assumption that just because a boy plays with girls, he is necessarily a sissy," the doctor said. "In fact, he may be more courageous and less afraid of the opposite sex than is his chider." Dr. Mieth says children who do feats of daring to show off are reallv carrying out the act of "a very timid sort of individual." WHEELER ASSAILS 'MESS' AT CAPITAL New Deal Agencies Scored Senator Says He Is Opposed to Warfare Milwaukee, Oct.

16. (IP) V. S. Senator Burton K. Wheeler told an audience here last night that the United States can not rid the world of "international anarchy" bv going to war.

"We would come out of the war with more anarchy in the world than we have now," he said. "As long as I'm in the senate of the United States I'll never vote to send an American bov to fight a war either in the Orient or in Europe." Senator Wheeler criticized several asencie.s fostered or introduced by the new deal and referred to a mess" created at Washington by "young lawyers from Harvard and Columbia law schools who have never practiced law and never heard of Wisconsin or Montana except in a geography book." He said they "recently put all sorts of pressure on congressmen and senators, through labor and farm organizations, to line them in an attempt to make the supreme court of the United States subservient to one man. And they did this in the name of liberalism and progressivism." Aged Bruce Woman Succumbs at Volga George Bunday Home steaded Near Bruce Was Born in Pennsylvania Bruce. S. Ot.

With the Intolerance and bad temper which seem to be growing on him, the president in his most recent "fireside chat" endeavored to classify as "enemies of democracy" all those who for one reason or another consider unwise and unnecessary the extra session of congress which he has called. This sort of thing has become chronic so far as the White House is concerned.

It Is recognized new deal technique to try thus to vaccinate in advance against criticism. The formula is a perfectly simple one first, present the proposition with aa much emotional appeal as possible and then before opportunity to protest has arrived, lump together all who might raise their voices against, as "enemies of democracy." or "little Lord Macaulays" or Bourbons, or Tories, or men who want to balance the financial budget at the expense of the "human budget." or smear them with some other slurring and invidious word or phrase. None is quite as adept at this game as Mr. Roosevelt himself, but he has many imitators, both Journalistic and political. It is, of course, cheap stuff; but is still enables the new dealers to get away with a good many unsound and unworthy schemes which ought to be sunk or.

sight and which but for the ingenious methods used to inflame sentiment in their favor, would sink of their own weight. For example, there is this "ever-normal granary" plan, to prepare for which, the president has made plain, is to be the chief business of the extra session. The more this device which it is proposed permanently to rivet upon the country is considered, the more sentimental and unsound it appears and the more absurd it seems that congress, by Joint resolution, should have pledged itself in advance to enact, when not only its details, but its foundations were uncertain and obscure. Because, when that resolution was adopted, it is safe to say that to at least 490 of the 531 members of congress the "ever-normal granary" plan was just an alluring phrase, the meaning of which was not even remotely clear. They not only could not exolain it to anvone else but they could not understand it themselves.

That still holds good. The experts in the department of agriculture, the lobbvists of farm organizations, the professional "friends of the farmer," in and out of congTess. and one or two brain trusters, perhaps, can talk intelligently on the subject. But they are a mere handful and the great bulk of congress, like the great bulk of the people, have onlv the haziest notion of what it is all about. The clearest explanation of what the ever-normal granary idea involves has been given by Mr.

Wheeler McMillen, editor of the Country Home magazine, who recently wrote as follows "The ever-normal granary contemplates that when the land blesses its people with abundance, a part of that abundance is to be withheld from the market, through government loans, in order to protect the prices paid to farmers. Then it is to be stored for use in less fruitful years in order to protect consumers from high prices in times of scarcity. To the end that the quantities produced shall be under regulation the production of all farms is to be planned in advance. Farmers are to be rewarded in cash for conforming to the plans set out for them and farmers who continue to produce too much are to be punished with rigorous fines and penalties. Under the bill no farmer can escape regulation." That is the simplest analysis that has yet been made of this extremely complicated, not to say cock-eyed, proposal.

It comes from a recognized authority, who further points out that, so far as consumers are concerned, the scheme, even if it should work, would be of little interest because of the extreme improbability of any American starving by reason of inadequate supplies of things to eat. The assumption that such a time could arrive has no fact whatever to justify it. Actually, concern about the consumer is a secondary and trivial thought upon the part of the sponsors of the plan. They talk about the consumer with the idea of. making this new gadget seem less lopsided, but actually It is a plan from which the farmer would receive one htmdred per cent, of the benefits, if any.

So far as the farmer is concerned, the theory is that surpluses will be stored and, therefore, kept off the markets in years of abundance, thus keeping prices up to a favorable level. That is the basic idea, and it has a considerable appeal to the more credulous. As expounded by Mr. Wallace it seems a noble conception, indeed that is, until the facts are examined. Then it becomes clear that this scheme is anything but new that it has been tried before, and not long ago right here and failed to work.

As Mr. McMillen points out. the fact that a surplus is stored, especially if stored in the hands of government agencies, does not remove its effect upon the behavior of prices. The federal farm board attempted just such an experiment from 1929 to 1933 with disastrous results. Many other similar experiments have been made in the history of nations.

Not one has ever worked. 0- 4- In the face. then, of the record it is now to be tried again and we are told that the mistakes of the farm board are to be avoided because this time we will have "planned and controlled production." which is really the essence of the whole proposal. And that sounds all right until it is realized that to properly plan and control production presupposes a foresight and vision, a knowledge of the elements and ability to foretell the future such as human beings have not yet displayed. Certainly it would require far greater foreknowledge than was granted those who plowed under the crops and killed the pigs just in advance of the greatest drought of modem times.

Before this scheme becomes law if it does it should be discussed long enough and fully enough to enable the people to grasp its fundamentals, because in some ways it is easily the most drastic and radical step yet proposed. To a good many it seems a compound of the worst blunders of the federal farm board with the primary fallacies of the AAA, One of President RoowM'Tzl cipal financial consultants Xu record a near tnrtc, of the federal capital gai" CS? distributed corporation proflK; P- Kennedy, chairmit the maritime commission and fn2 head of the securities and exS commission, told neraJr1.ne expressed the belief they could changed so as to produce aDDnai mately the same revenue afSt and encourage business to expand Government tax been studying these taxes Tata with a general survey of the who tax structure for possible recom mendations to the congress, a house ways and means sub-cemmittee wm take up the question of tax revision I Kennedy had just come from i long conference with the president when, in reply to questioning bv reporters on the stock market decline he renewed his attack on the ram, levies that leading New York financiers have blamed in part for the recent market break. He said he had not discussed tsxei at the temporary white house but had talked budget balancing' ind the maritime commission's survey of prospects of building up an idequite merchant marine under the new direct subsidy law. Earlier, at a press conference the president himself had indicated he might have something to say in his coming messages to congress bear, ing on security regulations. Kennedy has repeatedly criticized the capital gains and undistributed profits levies.

He said he would leave ft to the treasury experts to suggest changes, if there were to be any, but felt they could be "ad-Justed" so they would not hinder efforts to balance the budget and at the same time be "less onerous on business than under the present method." He said the capital gains tax never got us mucn revenue anv. way." TlTM Plannft Winthrop W. Aldrich. president of the Chase National bank, in a speech in Rochester Thursday, also suggested revision of the same taxes in holding federal regulation partly to blame for recent stock value recessions. Kennedy said Aldrich has not said "anything new" and took exception to his statement that present margin requirements were unreasonable.

As for a balanced budget Kennedy said that was the chief object of the president at the present time, "That really is the thing he wants to do most balance the budget," he said. "I think he has a very, very good chance of doing it." The maritime chairman said new policy recommendations would be made to congress after the present long-range survey is completed Maritime labor conditions also were taken up in detail with the president, but he preferred not to discuss this with newspapermen.

There was no mention of time spent with "the average man" or conferences with the persons in each region who represent not one side but both sides of the controversial issues on which a fair-minded president might be expected to want "first-hand knowl-edee." But even the people who were addressed by Mr. Roosevelt did not get from him a clear picture of the national Droblems facing the country. He omitted to touch on the most vital question of all the present business decline wnicn is in no amall part due to tne cnomng enects of new taxat ion an aiong tne imc. Some of the things the president did sav are somewhat puzzling, for thev do not seem to accord with previously held views. Thus, at Grand Forks, North Dakota, in the heart of the agricultural area of the nation.

Mr. Roosevelt said: "I have never subscribed to the constitutional theory that agriculture is a purely local matter and that it has, therefore, no national scone." Only seven years ago March 2, 1930, to be exact Mr. Roosevelt, while governor of New York, made a nation-wide radio address in which he said: covemTn lights" of "Th? states are "As a matter of fact and law, tne ill of those which have not been sur- nHrri in the national eovern- rVcoSKnTt. Amendments. Wisely or unwisely.

people know that under the eight- een amendment, congress has been given the right to legislate on this particular subject, but this is not i h. tn th matter of a trreat number of other vital problen of government, sucn as me mmuu ji public utilities, of banks, of insur- 1 ance of business, of agriculture, of education, of social welfare and of a dozen other important features, In these, Washington must not be encouraged to interfere." i Disavows Statement The nrorer relations between the i government of the United States and the governments of the several states is not something that has been conceived overnight. Mr Roosevelt in 1930 stated the historic truth. He merely repeated the constitutional law of the laud. Today, however, he disavows having made the public statement of March 2, 1330.

Or perhaps he has forgotten that he ever made it, though, to be mire, in the Inst two or three years the para-graph quoted above has been printed hundreds of times and In thousands of different places. If Mr. Roosevelt can impose his rill on the supreme court and change the constitutional concept of agriculture, there is no reason why he cannot do the same thing with respect to education, insurance which have hitherto been reserved to the people of the states and which now have sudden come within fed- eral jurisdiction because Mr. Roase- ,) iji lit' 1 1 1, ii I ill. i it' rt ji.

He is represented by many "of his" visitors usually as doing most of the talking. If. by chance, the presi-: dent is getting bored with much of the talk he hears, it is quite possible that he has in mind the steady stream of senators and represents- tives who take up so much or his time. But this Isn't much of a clue to the mastery, for the president appears to be a glutton for self-: punishment he has just called a special session of congress.
