The White House policy toward such FERA work projects was part of its effort to conciliate business and get all factions lined up behind the forthcoming relief-recovery drive.

Miss Dorothy Detzer, the young pacifist whose backstage work was largely responsible for the munitions investigation, has returned from Eurppe with the belief that governitents over there aren't likely to start any wars, because they're too afraid of internal revolt. Admitting that the makings of wars exist and are often at the boiling point, Miss Detzer, who is national secretary of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, says the dangers of revolution are in the minds of nearly all European regimes. Bitter popular opposition is so strong in most of them that a government which declared war would soon find itself engaged in two wars. Radicalism has 'risen to the point where even the regular armies seem undependable. Miss Detzer admits this is just her own impression.

Cashing of the bonus promises to be Itdis- -turbing issue in the next Congress. Most of the ex-service men, have continued to demand qramediate payment, many Representatives in Congreks have continued to advocate it, and the movement has been given new momentum IOW by the action of the American Legion in annual convention at Miami.

The Legion, by a vote of 087 to 183, adopted a demanding that the bonus be paid immediately. This action came a few days after President "11- Roosevelt, in a speech dedicating the veterans' hospital at Roanoke, Virginia, again indicated his opposition to immediate parnent of the The public will regard the position which the President took as unassailable. He declared the veterans are better off than any so. other great group of. the American people and that the first dbligation of the Government- was to care for the disabled, the sick and the titute among the masses.

The Veterans' Administration estimates that 'it would take 82,03,000,000 to cash the bonus. Of this the veterans would get about r-. 000, while the rest would go to repay money advanced by the Government for loans on the bonus certificates, which mature in 1945. It is id be remembered that veterans have been per- mated to borrow up to 50 per cent of the face value of their certificates, a privilege ot which most of them have availed themselves, whether they were in need or not. The resolution adopted by the American Legion held that-paying the bonus now would "increase tremendously the purchasing power of the consuming public" and give relief to cer'- tificate holders "who are in dire need and dies- tress." It is to be doubted that cashing of the bonus would be followed by a noticeable in- crease in public purchasing power, since much Of the money would go to veterans who do not need it and probably would not spend it As for those veterans wno are in need, they will receive relief along with their needy fellow- countrymen.

They should not demand to be placed in a privileged class and favored with CONTROVERSY LOOMS ON 11U0011-TAXES Reduction in Levy Sought by Congressionil Bloc LOOMS ON i Reduction in Levy Sought evidence against him as the kidnapper. However, the prosecution does not rely on this evidence alone. There remain the handwriting of the ransom notes which an expert his identified as that of Hauptmann; the ladder used in the kidnapping which was made of 'a certain kind of wood; the testimony Of a witness that he saw Hauptmann near the Lindbergh home just before the kidnapping Probably many have suspected that the Lindbergh baby was killed before it was removed from the home, that its pries might not betray the kidnapper and that its possession might not lead to his apprehension. That now is the theory of the prosecution. The State, It is said, will charge that the child was killed In its crib.

Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine Sometimes the ligaments which hold up the organs in the abdominal cavity relax or stretch so that the organs drop from their usual positions. Organs naturally, function best when they are located properly and when the blood vessels, nerves, and other structures associated with them are not under any unusual strain. A good many people know about the possibility of dropping of the intestines in the abdomen, but few have learned that the Iddneys, the spleen, or other organs may also drop.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Journal of the American Medical Association, and of President Retreating From Early Positions That Embarrassea Trace 28. (AP) --Two conflicting schools of thought on liquor taxes headed today for a tussle in the next Congress. The issue between the high tax men and the low tax men is becoming more clearly drawn. As for the outcome, much depends on the Novemoer 6 election. The men chosen to sit in the next Congress will decide the tax policy.

One of the most prominent 'advocates of the cut-the-taxes-tokill-bootlegging school is Joseph Choatei chairman of the Alcohol Control Administration. The feeling of this school is that high taxesthe levy on domestic spirits is now $2 a gallon and on imports an additional $5give the bootlegger his chance. The revenues from intoxicating drinks of all kinds during the last fiscal year, which included the first seven months of repeal, were $283,500,000, a sum which fell some $100,000,000 below expectations. For the first quarter of this fiscal year they were 387,567, which is considered a bit more encouraging. Secretary Morgenthau is ranked among the supporters of the present tax idea, though he had given no official opinion recently.

Some time ago he declared he wanted to see if he could not drive out the bootlegger by rigid enforcement before considering cuts in taxes. 1 1 1 I Motor buses are being used in place of railroad trains over he hacks of one of the southwestern lines operating between Dallas, and Jonesboro; Ark.

The former Mabel Gordon Dunlap, society woman of West Virginia, now holds a high place In court circles in Yugoslavia. She is the wife of Slavko V. Grouich, former Yugoslav Minister. to Washington, who has been named Marshal of the Royal Court to succeed General Alexander Dirnitrivich, dismissed for failure to protect King Alexander against assassination. As Mrs.

Crouich sees it, Yugoslavia's problems are similar to those which confronted the United States after the War Between the States. "By adopting the principles of equality, fairness and brotherly love enunciated by Abraham Lin. coin," she is quoted by a Belgrade dispatch as saying, "we shall" succeed in solving our problems just as the Great Emancipator did when he sUcceeded in bringing the North and South together again as friends." It would seem that Mrs Grouich needs to brush up on her history. Lincoln might have rtg.sloqr.o.YA,-M!6", F7777317 more than $2,000,000,600 of public' funds at a '1 time when the Government has no money and to cash the bonus might easily impair its credit. The only argument for immediate payment of the bonus certificates, which are not due for more than ten years, is that many veterans are in need.

But millions of other people are in the Government is doing what it can relieve their distress, and needy veterans share rn the relief. While it is safe to predict that bill providing for immediate payment would meet with a veto, the House of Representatives should not again yield to-pressure for the pas- sags of such measure. It will not do so it it has more regard for the 'national well-being for the political fortunes of its members. Should the House surrender a second time to the bonus lobby, perhaps the Senate will once more stand against it. Be that as it may, and whatever the outcome, the stage is being set for a Congress which- the country has hoped would be avoided.

Most often it is the right kidney that drops down rather than left. Presumably the. greater frequency in women is due to the fact that they used to compress their upper abdomens considerably by tight lacing. No doubt also the disturbances of structure associated withchildbirth are partially responsible. In many case considerable reductions in weight by women who have been fat causes the fat to drop away born around the kidney and thus to let the structures down.

In a few instances in man the dropping of the kidney seems be -associated with the lifting heavy weights. The doctor can find out whether the kidney is its proper position by examining the patient with his hands, since, if the patient is thin enough, the kidney can accurtely be felt through the wall of the abdomen. It ia also possible, through use of the X-ray to take pictures the kidney after the giving drugs which localize in it and then to determine where the kidney Iles in relationship other structures. There are some cases in which the kidney will. twist BO as to pull on the blood vessels or other structures associated with it.

A sudden exertion or for a long time may on an attack. When this occurs, the patient has a severe pain, nausea, and sometimes vomiting and sometimes collapse. Frequently there is a chill. In many cases also the flow of fluid from the kidney is interfered with by the twisting or strain. In most cases, a person who has a movable kidney can get relief by wearing an -abdominal support.

When there Is- severepain, nausea, or vomiting at frequent intervals, it may become necessary to operate on these patients to fix the kidney into position. One expert found that 19 out of 20 women got relief by wearing the proper kinds of supports, but others have found only half of those treater with supports free of their symptoms. It is interesting to find that a few cases are relieved of their conditions by putting on some of the weight lost by stringent reduction.

The War-Between the States had only ended -when he was killed, and there followed some ten years of the South by its enemies who were in power at Washington, That Reconstruction period left' more bitter memories in the South than the war itself. Carpetbaggers from the North and East overran the section that had been the scene of conflict and was left in ruins, taking charge of governmental affairs in the States imposing their will on a helpless people, and resorting to policies and practices which Lincoln would have condemned. The story of that period is the most disgraceful page of American history and explains -why- friendship between the North and South was not restored until long after Lincoln was dead.

It appears that Secretary of State Hull has made the same dis covery, that he resents these special trade pacts, arid that he -Is- eliminate. them.

There should be no surprise in this country -that other countries have entered into special trade arrangemehts without regard to the United States. Nor would it seem that we have just j. ground for complaint. The United States long maintained a tariff wall against other Na- tons and from time to time has the wall a little higher until the Hawley-Smoot law of four or five years agog raised it so high as to be 'almost prohibitive. President Hoover asked for limited revision of the tariff mainly in the of agriculture, but in- dustrial leaders swooped a04111 on Congress and' forced a general upward revision.

Then oLhar Nations began to retaliate against tht United States by increasing tariff duties I Aranican imports. They went further and erected tariff against each other. This checked the flow of international trade at the very eginning of the world economic depression, and these tariff barriers as an obstacle to recovery. It -ite-i-s---for that reason that President Roosevelt asked Congress for.au Somebody estimates that about 12,000,000 words are spoken by the average man every year. Probably if the word "gimme" were not counted the total would be greatly reduced.
