Anaheim, Calif., March 18, 1937 The MARCH OF TIME REG. D. S. PAT. OFF. BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine $100 PLATE— WASHINGTON—To raise funds for reducing its $430,000 campaign deficit, the Democratic national committee, following a method originated last year by Democratic National Treasurer W. Forbes Morgan, held 1,262 Victory Dinners throughout the United States. To every dinner where the price was $5 a plate or more, the Democratic speakers bureau dispatched a senator, congressman or other notable Democrat whose rank was roughly proportioned to the price of admission. A $10 dinner for less opulent New Dealers at Washington's Willard Hotel drew West Virginia's Senator Neely, Texas' Representative Maverick, Mrs. Roosevelt; a $25 dinner at Detroit drew Utah's Senator Elbert D. Thomas; a $50 dinner in Chicago, Senators Duffy and Lewis. But the dinner-of-dinners in Washington's Mayflower Hotel, attended by 1,300 cabinet members, party wheel-horses, lobbyists and other notables paying $100 a plate, was the most profitable, had Franklin Roosevelt himself as speaker. Said he: "On this fourth of March, 1937, in millions of homes, the thoughts of American families are reverting to the March 4 of another year... Now we face another crisis... Democracy in many lands has failed for the time being to meet human needs... If one horse lies down in the traces or plunges off in another direction, the field will not be plowed." "Here is one-third of a nation ill-nourished, ill-clad, ill-housed—now! Here are thousands upon thousands of men and women laboring for long hours in factories for inadequate pay—now! If we would make democracy succeed, I say we must act—NOW!" Jubilantly the President's friends claimed he had turned the tide of public sentiment in favor of his plan—not mentioned directly in his oration—for adding six members to the supreme court. But criticism was still forthcoming, and the New York "Times," favorable to Franklin Roosevelt in the last campaign but suspicious of the "cleverness and adroitness" of his court-packing plan, said: "The whole structure of the President's argument... rests on the premise that this country is faced by a 'crisis' so acute that it cannot wait upon the adoption of a constitutional amendment... If the country now faces a crisis, it is a constitutional crisis, and it is of the President's own making." Thoroughly wrought up because the President had apparently abandoned his original arguments for court reform, last fall's Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Frank Knox, in a signed editorial in his Chicago "Daily News," wrote: "The MASK is OFF!... The President's speech last night left no twilight zone of doubt or uncertainty as to his meaning. He tossed aside with contempt the cloak of specious argument with which he dressed his initial proposal of judicial reorganization. Last night heard no plea for the expediting of judicial business, no claim for switer-footed justice more accessible to the poor man, no proposals for the relief of senility on the federal bench." With brutal frankness that leaves the country agast, President Roosevelt demands a supreme court that, regardless of the constitution, agrees with him! LEWIS AND STEEL— WASHINGTON—When John L. Lewis' Committee for Industrial Organization last fall launched a $500,000 drive to organize the steel industry's 550,000 workers, SIX-CITY CONFERENCES BY TELEPHONE Here is an important new telephone service for business consultations and family gatherings. A number of people in from two to six places can talk back and forth with each other, hear all the others and participate just as if in one room together. Matters can be summarized, explained, discussed and settled in a way that would otherwise take days. To arrange such a conference, simply call Long Distance; or for further information about it, please call Just Call BUSINESS OFFICE 217 N. LEMON ST., ANAHEIM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY Anaheim 2101 What this engine means to you! YOU'D never dream that fast freight service meant greater saving or newer styles, would you? That it really affected your home or pocketbook? Or that Union Pacific's gigantic "Challenger" freight locomotives saved you money? Yes, that's what fast freight service means to you, and this is why it happened: We wanted to offer the American shipper faster, more precise freight service, the kind you expect from crack passenger flyers. We started out by buying fifty high-speed modern locomotives for main line service in 1928. Then we spent long months of experiment to set even higher standards. The result—a new type of super-powerful freight locomotive, the "Challenger," designed to handle heavy train loads at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Fifteen of these huge leviathans are now in service. Twenty-five more are being built. and reduced the time between Council Bluffs and Ogden—the great transcontinental speedway—to less than half of the former running time. But more than that (and this is where you come in), fast schedules mean reduced inventories, lower stocks and replacements for stores and shops... enable shop-keepers to pass along this saving to you, in lower prices, because quick turnovers cut down costs and losses. So today, when you do your shopping, buy a new suit or a gown straight from a New York fashion designer, or even a sin of beans... your pocketbook will tell you the happy results of Union Pacific's policy of constantly planning for the future. Union Pacific always looks ahead! Union Pacific's gigantic "Challenger" freight locomotives saved you money?

THE PROGRESSIVE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD SHIP AND RIDE UNION PACIFIC R. A.

BORDEAUX, France—Rolling out of New York harbor on Jan. 6 and over the three-mile limit only one hour before the house passed a bill outlawing such shipments as her $720,000 cargo on second-hand United States airplanes for Spain's hard-pressed Loyalists, the blunt-nosed little Spanish freighter "Mar Cantabrico" headed for Vera Cruz, Mexico, to pick up $1,300,000 in munitions. By last week she had reached the Bay of Biscay where, because her sailing had been widely publicized, the Rebel Spanish cruiser "Canarias" lay in wait. The "Mar Cantabrico" flashed frantic radio calls for help. To the rescue of "an unidentified British ship," while Europe waited breathless, rushed the British destroyers "Echo," "'Escapade," "Eclipse," and "Encounter." Arriving first, "Echo" reported that the "Mar Cantabrico's" crew had been taken off by the "Canarias" "so presumably the ship sank." But, far from being so short-sighted as Mourned Representative Weidermann: "Lawyers can't bury their mistakes like doctors." EXCHANGE—CAWNPORE, India—In Cawnpore, a fanatic Hindu carpenter prostrated himself at the feet of the Goddess of the Kali Temple, cut off his tongue, offered it in exchange for wisdom. WAR TO COME—Suddenly with breathtaking swiftness last week, President Benjamin Franklin Fairless of Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp., biggest steel-producing unit in the world and biggest subsidiary of colossal U. S. Steel Corp., and C.I.O.'s Captain Philip Murray made peace before the firing of a single gun, signed an agreement granting C. I. O.'s wage and hours demands (common labor pay up from $4.20 to $5.00 per day; hours down from 48 to 40 hours per week; time-and-a-half for overtime), making C. I. O.'s Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers sole bargaining agent for all members among Carnegie-Illinois' 120,000 employees. Carnegie-Illinois promised no interference with union recruiting, no discrimination against union employees; the union agreed to solicit no members on company property, use no intimidation or coercion anywhere. As Steel's Fairless and Labor's Murray prepared to work out a detailed contract effective until Feb. 28, 1919 five steel "independent"—Bethlehem, National Republic, Young town Sheet and Tube, Inland rushed to announce that they would also grant C. I. O.'s wage and hour demands. To those who sought a reason for this historic conciliation: has been made possible by the first seeing vision and industrial status of (U. S. Steel's boss chairman) Myron C. Taylor. Fur time to time over a period of several months in New York Washington, Mr. Taylor and have engaged in conversations with negotiations. We were each conscious of the great weight of sponsibility and the far-reaching consequences attached to our decisions. Labor, industry and nation will be the beneficiaries. A better reason, however, that between recovery and armament steel business was booming toward all-time high making strikes wastefully expensive, making it easy for steel pass on its increased labor cost to consumers. (Last week rose from $3 to $8 per ton). OSCAR FOR TIME—HOLLYWOOD—At its annual banquet in Hollywood last year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences bestowed most publicized prize, for the United States performance of (Continued on Page 6) WINDSOR'S LIVING— LONDON — Assembled at a Buckingham Palace luncheon last week, the British royal family considered the draft of a financial settlement for the Duke of Windsor brought from Austria by Sir Walter Monckton. One of the matters the royal family had to face was the duke's demand that provision be made not only for himself during his lifetime but for Mrs. Simpson, irrespective of whether he lives or dies. Court dignitaries, all tired by now of Windsor and his demands, are in agreement that "if he gets what he probably will get, the royal family will have precious little personal income left for themselves during the next five years." Reputedly His Majesty George VI is stipulating that Edward must not wed sooner than ten days after the Coronation (May 12), that the duke and Mrs. Simpson must agree in writing not to act on stage, screen, radio programs or do memoirs or press articles. ENGINE— ROME—To United Press correspondent Webb Miller, with whom he covered the abortive Reparations conference of Cannes in 1922, one-time Journalist Benito Mussolini in Rome last week gave his personal rules for conserving mental and physical health under constant strain: "I was sick in 1925. Since then I have not lost a single day. At the first symptom of any kind of indisposition I fast for at least 24 hours. Out of my organism I have made an engine, constantly supervised and controlled, which runs with absolute regularity. My rules of diet are fixed in the sense that..." ito Mussolini in Rome last week gave his personal rules for conserving mental and physical health under constant strain: "I was sick in 1925. Since then I have not lost a single day. At the first symptom of any kind of indisposition I fast for at least 24 hours. Out of my organism I have made an engine, constantly supervised and controlled, which runs with absolute regularity. My rules of diet are fixed in the sense that I am almost exclusively vegetarian. I consider alcohol damaging to the health of individuals and to collective health. I am not against the moderate use of tobacco, but as far as I am concerned, I never drank hard liquor. I sometimes drink a little wine at official dinners, but since the world war I have never smoked. I do not take tea or coffee, but sometimes drink an infusion of linden leaves or tilleul. For those who labor physically the moderate use of wine is useful. I sleep between seven and eight hours a night regularly, between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. I fall asleep at once, no matter what I have done or what has happened to me during the day. I use no expedients to invite sleep and take no siesta during the day. Siestas are the consequence of overeating at luncheon. CURE ALL— HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania—In Pennsylvania's legislature last week Delaware county's Representative Thomas Weldemann introduced a bill with the shortest title (To Cure Lawyers' Mistakes) of any of the 1,201 measures filed in the Harrisburg house this session: "All mistakes by lawyers are hereby erased, but every one shall be required to abide by the letter and spirit of the laws. This statute shall work prospectively and retroactively forever." AS LITTLE AS 15¢ A DAY Pay $4.50 Per Month Occasional Chairs Pull - Up Easy Chairs with soft upholstered backs and seats.
