O'Connor demands probe of alleged WAP coercion during election campaign in a letter to WAP Administrator Harry Hopkins: "This is no time for you to be ducking." i 4 a IT IS not necessary to hold a brief for Mr. Martin Dies, the Texas Democrat who heads the House committee to investigate un American to conclude that the unusual effort of the president to squelch the investigation was due to the fact that the disclosures touch ed the White House on a sensitive spot. It! seemed, In fact, a squeal, EVEN before the Dies i committee got to work the administration hostility was manifest While White 1 House influence secured for its anti monopoly investigation a million dollars, and administration leaders I gave the La Follette committee $150,000, the Dies committee had dif ficully in getting $25,000.

Since then from the Left Wing there has come a steady chorus of. denunciation of Mr. his committee and; the witnesses Who have appeared). before' it. The professional liberals who shout "Red baiter whenever there is any attempt to state; the farts about Communistic activities in this country have been most! virulent.

The climax came with the president's unprecedented outburst! i WHAT THE committee has 'done to cause such i. concentration hatred upon tjie vthe New Dealers can be briefly; summarized. First, it has heard witnesses who testified that the CIO in Detroit, where the sit down strike originated, is dominated by Communists; second, it has had before it wit nesses who testified that most of the several hundred strikes in De troit during 1937 were engineered by Communist leaders; third, Mt heard testimony that Governor Mar phy of Michigan, dos friend of the president, reiusea niu uuiryiug out court order against the sit down strikers. Instead, he instituted negotiations which enabled them to continue the sit down strike until they got what they wanted; fourth, it heard lestimony which implied that while the Labor Department has sufficient evidence to justify the deportation of Harry Bridges, CIO Pacific, coast leader and alleged Communist, it; will not act.

And as the witching hour of twelve draws near there will be some unfaithful ones By LOGAN CLENDENING, H. D. IN DISCUSSING the central function of the body last week, nu tntion, or metabolism, which is the process In the tissues of converting food and oxygen into energy, we reviewed the specific action of the various foodstuffs in the body, but we did not pave space to discuss the general basal metabolism of the body, the total turn oi all their ac tivities.

In order to pick up the loose ends, we will discuss that sub Ject in one or two articles this week. It must be evident that there is a basal metabolism which is the sum of all the changes made by the conversion of food. This is manifest in the maintainance of a level of the body temperature. If the food is burned in the tissues, which it is, there must be some heat generated. There is and that is why your body remains the temperature of 98 even on the coldest day of winter, The study of the basal metabolism has been found very useful in study Ing "certain cases in clinical medi cine.

Measure All Food Nominally, the way to study it would be to measure exactly all the food that goes into the body, then collect all the by products the amount pf nitrogen and other substances in the urine and feces, toe perspiration, the breaththen measure the amount of heat the body has formed and given off in a given time, and the weight of the body before and after. In that way we can measure the amount of energy that is furnished by any. food. As a matter of record, exactly all this tedious work was done in the early experiments on the subiect. and we learned the most exact de tails about, the energy value of The The Man Hour If there were many people in the United States who had not before pondered, with some awe, over the mass hysteria.

"The War of the Worlds," which formed the basis for last night's is a typical fantasy from the pen 01 me iormer science 72 years old. It was in 1893 that Wells, who Denng moce tnan iuo, followed. His training in physics, chemis try, astronomy, geology and biology perhaps formed a basis for these imaginative flights. For serious thinkers, however, he has provided such works as "The Outline of His tory." "Mankind in the Making," and others. 1 To lighter fiction, he contributed the Immortal love story of Ann Veronica, and Mr.

Blettsworthy on Rampole Island. He Is noted for his aniniy 10 turn irom a serious ana heavy topic to the weaving of a simple taie 01 adventure and dream With his writings he has achiev ed a lasting reputation In literature FHE CHINA etics today one of the most scientific branches of medical knowledge. The unit of measurement of the energy value of Coods is expressed in the heat unit the calorie. A calorie, as used in dietetics, is the amount of heat needed to raise one kilogram of water one degree centigrade (or one pound of water four degrees fahrenheit). Carbohydrates yield four calories per gram, pro teins four and fats nine calories.

The work the body does is also expressed in calories. If you rise front a sitting position in front of a door. turn the key in the door and then sit down again, you use up one cal orie. In walking half a mile, you use up one calorie for every pound of body weight. Delicately Balanced The amount of energy the body expends and the amount taken in the food are very delicately balanced and regulated by the appetite.

Sometimes this regulation fails and food is stored in the body in the form of fat Measurement of basal metabo lism nowadays is carried on in a much simpler manner than that in dicated above. It is done by. simply', measuring the amount of oxygen that ir consumed by the body at complete rest The facts thus gathered are very valuable in the diag nosis of disturbances of the thyroid gland.

New York University It would be a remarkably hea. thing for the American people it they could be msde to understand how the recovery of 1921 1923 took place.

During that period the Federal budget was balanced, not unbalanced. The Federal debt was reduced, not expanded. The Federal government reduced Its expenses, it did not Increase them. The nation's gold supply' then was much below that now or even that of 1933. The government then did not expand the currency by subsidizing the silver interests.

It did not embark upon a policy of increasing the monetized portion of the national debt by selling its securities to banks In order: obtain deposits against the government's debt The government did not maintain artificially low Interest rates. ana it thus avoided Inflicting the serious injuries on the investors In government securities now being experienced. It did not devaluate the did not launch out on a spendf 1 lending, pump priming program. Jp In short, it pursued a course lust the reverse of that followed by this gov ernment since 1933, and now recom mended by the fiscal "experts as necessary "to Insure a favorable busi ness and Industrial picture for the 1940 elections." That statement Is politics not eco nomics. And the day may be rapidly approaching when it will no longer be good politics.

STEWART Central Press Columnist WASHINGTON, D. One of the New Deal's worst embarrassments thus far has been the posses sion of most of the vitally important Congressional committee chairmanships by anti New Dealers. True, a committee chairman has only one vote, tike any other member of Congress.

Still, he has deal of influence within his own committee. It can overrule him, but generally it O'Connor doesnt. Usually he is strong enough to smother proposed legislation that he opposes not necessarily to beat it on the floor of the House or Senate, but to prevent it from getting to either of these floors, through the process known as "burying 1 1 in committee." That is to say, when a bill is introduced it is referred to its appropriate committee for consider ation, and unless the committee re ports on it, that's the end of that bill provided the committee's parent body (Senate or House) doesn't call for it Though this can be done by a majority, it seldom In this fashion the New Deal has been seriously handicapped by hostile committee Even in cases where jt has triumphed, has done so in the face of many difficulties. John J. O'Connor of New York, chairman of the House Rules Committee (an exceedingly influential group), notoriously.

stymied the New Dealers at the last Congressional session. To be sure; they "purged" him at the recent nomi nating primaries. However, plenty of other recalcitrant chairmen are leftover. Next Session's Prospects To predict just what Hjuse chairmen will survive into the next session is impossible, because all representatives are np for reelection, and some of the last session's chairmen may be beaten. The Senate is easier to guess on.

Only four conspicuously anti Deal Senators are re electable this year. They are Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, Walter F. George of Georx'C Alva B. Adams of Colo rado ind Millard E.

Tydings of Maryland. They are. respectively, chairmen of the Senate's agriculture, privileges and elections, public lands and survey, and territories and insular affairs committees. There's little dispute that this quartet will win in November and hold their chairmanships. Adams' and Tydings' committees don't matter, so much.

George's committee may be very significant if it is called on to decide a few election contests. Smith's Agriculture Committee Is of capital consequence. Holdover Senate chairmen include William H. King' of Utah (District of Columbia committee), Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee (post offices), Josiah W. Bailey of North Carolina (claims), Key Pitt man of Nevada (foreign relations.

Pat Harrison of Mississippi (finance), Morris Sheppard of Texas (military affairs), Burton K. Wheeler of Montana (interstate commerce), Carter Glass of Virginia (appropriations) and David I. Walsh of Massachusetts (naval affairs). King, McKellar and Bailey are anti New Dealers, but their com mittees are unlikely to bring them into a clash with New Deal policies. Pittman, Sheppard and Walsh head pivotal committees, but they're pretty good New Dealers.

Harrison, Wheeler and Glass are at the head of committees of premier rating and they're anti New Dealers par excellence. There's an additional important senate committee commerce. Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York an anti New Dealer) was its chairman. Since his death Senator Sheppard is in line.

But Sheppard prob aoiy wiii choose 10 remain as military chairman. That will mean that Bailey (an will get the job. New Dealers Sick of It In short, the New Dealers are sick of having Congress chairman ized by "antis." It's a system which doesn't have to exist. It's mere custom. This custom is to let chairmen rise to their chairmanships by virtue of seniority.

The New Dealers' notion is to break it np at the next congressional session. Yet it's a change which will make terrible fight at the next session.

Politics in Fiscal Affairs a nnv cw ft nn ty I A 1 urn, su Tl 1 I lic picturing of the Communist CIO link is not helping New Deal candidates, but after all it isn't the commlttee's fault that Mr. Roose velt has an alliance with the CIO; that the CIO contributed $500,000 to his 1936 campaign; that the Com munists are powerful In the CIO; that Harry Bridges, CIO leader and Roosevelt supporter.

Yet the Communists, as a whole, are back of Mr. Roosevelt, because they believe he unconsciously plays their game, and the CIO seems to them the perfect, instrument with which to work. PUBLIC REBUFFS, curt rejection to their support, oratorical kicks in the face none of these things divert the Communist leaders from their New Deal support, openly proclaimed by Mr. Browder In his Portland speech and regularly by the Communist organs.

The real crime of the Dies committee is in draw ing public attention to certain facts In a way to affect the thought and feelings of the very deeply anti Communistic Aemrican people. It is hard for an individual to stand up against the president of the United States In a personal controversy. His advantages are great. Under the circumstances Mr. Dies is to be congratulated on not letting the presidential thunder shut him up or slow him down.

Seneca. working man, was in effect in this State twenty years or more before Governor Earle took office. The record proves that. Mothers Assistance was in force in Pennsylvania twenty two years before the Democrats elected a Governor.

(. Old Age Assistance and Blind Pensions were in effect and were being paid before the Earle Administration came into office. Workmen's Compensation was in effect in this State twenty years before the Democrats gained control of the State Government. The Earle Administration, instead of improving the jSocial Security laws, undermined them. And the record proves all this.

The incompetent Earle Administration has been seeking to take credit for Social Security legislation. Mr. Earle and his "yes men" in the Legislature took active control of the State Government in January, 1935, but Social Security laws had been enacted as follows: Mothers' Assistance April 29, 1913. Workmen's Compensation June 2, 1915. Professor of Economics, A dispatch from Washington says that the current budget for this fiscal year (1938 39) estimates spending of $8,985,157,600, income of $5,000,270,000.

and a net deficit Of $3.981887.600. It then goes on to say that a spending program on a scale closely ap 1 proaching that for the current fiscal year is expected for next year because of authorizations in prior fiscal years and be causa of the politico 0 nomlc factors VI revolving around business recovery. The fiscal experts contend, according to the dispatch, that the Administration "will have to continue its heavy spending program to Insure a favorable business and Industrial picture for the 1940 elections. The point to this article Is that if the economics of the situation be considered, the Administration will not have to continue such spending to insure favorable business picture for 1940, Proof of the utter fallaciousness of the assumptions of these fiscal experts lies in the nature of the sharp recovery which took place In this country during the twenty four months of April. 1921, to April.
