The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Nowsmagazine EVEN SINS— WASHINGTON—That Franklin Goosevelt loves the supreme court my better because his plan to hang that judicial body was eaten, no one in Washington ever believed. Last week when he got around to signing the modest court will finally enacted by congress, he made it the occasion for a statement that served several political purposes: It demonstrated that he had not backed down from his original views. It peppered the neck bill actually passed with criticisms designed to show its total inadequacy. And finally it assisted that his own defeated plan was not just the president's desire but one of the heart's desire of the people. Wrote he: "It can hardly be doubted that our people are restive under the low and uncertain processes of the law... I spoke, therefore, for an upbuilding process, not only to preserve the independence and integrity of the judiciary, but to reinforce it and strengthen it as an essential and honored part of our institutions. ... In effect, I spoke in behalf of the American people in their desire for increased respect for, and confidence in, speedy and fundamental justice as represented by the federal courts." The act's seven sins of omission is outlined in the president's message, were its failure to: (1) Relieve "the burden now imposed on the supreme court." (2) Increase lower court personnel. (3) Provide "effective means of acting as sparring partner for 'Terrible Terry' McGovern, 65-year-old McGrady's 40-odd years as a labor leader and organizer have brought him great prestige, little cash, and he felt that he owed it to his family to do better than the $9,000 he gets as secondstring to Madam Perkins' fiddle. Last spring he was reported to have declined a $50,000-a-year job with Distilled Spirits Institute partly because he felt his job would not let him leave, partly because he felt Secretary Perkins might be going to resign. At RCA, where he is expected to start sometime after Labor Day, Ed McGrady will receive from $15,000 to $20,000 for smoothing over labor difficulties developing in RCA's three fields of radio: communications, broadcasting and manufacture. Best guess why Ed McGrady did not abruptly quit last week was that he wanted to let the president start the difficult job of picking his successor, a man who, among other things, must be, as McGrady was, acceptable to and trusted by C. I. O.'s John Lewis and A. F. of L.'s William Green. GUTS— NEW YORK—After a 15-round fight in which he had failed to knock down Welshman Tommy Farr at Manhattan's Yankee stadium last week, Joe Louis retained his world heavyweight crown on points, admitted over the radio that he had been hurt twice. Said Tommy Farr: "I've got plenty of guts—that's old Tommy Farr, you where government officials arriving from Nassau, 400 miles to the north, verified stories of the riot, reported that the natives had settled back "to their accustomed routine." DEBT COLLECTION— CLARKSDALE, Miss.—A colored sharecropper named James Wiggins and his commonlaw wife, Ethel Davis, owed $175 to their white boss, Joseph Shelley Decker, who was afraid they might decamp without paying. What this situation led to last week was described by Clarksdale's Sheriff H. H. Dogan, summoned to the 200-acre Decker farm by Sharecropper Wiggins. Said Sheriff Dogan: "I went to the Decker place and in a sharecropper cabin I found the woman chained to a bed with a trace chain locked around her neck. She had been there several days. She had been fed well and other than being chained apparently had not been harmed. I ordered the woman unchained and took her and Wiggins off the farm." Pending arraignment on a charge of peonage, Farmer Decker was last week released on a $1,500 bond. In a Clarksdale jail stayed Sharecroppers Davis and Wiggins voluntarily as material witnesses. SUICIDE DISEASE— BOSTON—Studying the problem of suicide has been the chosen work of ambitious young Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Merrill Moore. Last week Dr. Moore reached, among other things, the conclusion that suicide is "an important disease." Other conclusions, not all new to psychiatrists but enlightening to laymen: 1) Suicide's incidence can be materially decreased... 2) It is the ultimate expression of a personality dis- in benail of the American people in their desire for increased respect for, and confidence in speedy and fundamental justice as represented by the federal courts." The act's seven sins of omission as outlined in the president's message, were its failure to: 1. Relieve "the burden now imposed on the supreme court." 2. Increase lower court personnel. 3. Provide "effective means of assigning district judges to pressure areas." 4. Set up "flexible machinery ... readily adaptable to needs as they arise." 5. Adjust crowded lower court dockets. 6. Provide for "new blood" on federal benches. 7. Touch the problem of "aged and infirm judges who fail to... retire or resign..." 8. In this still-fighting humor, Franklin Roosevelt as yet uncommunicative about calling back congress for a special session, packed his bag for a three week's rest at Hyde Park, said nothing about a rumored tour of the Pacific Northwest which son-in-law and publisher John Boettiger had predicted in his Seattle "Post-Intelligencer." PROBABLE NOMINEE— WARSAW, Poland—While Indiana's Senator Sherman Minton was busy announcing that Philippine High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt would make in 1940 an ideal presidential candidate and 82-year-old Sara Delano Roosevelt in Paris insisted "I am sure my son does not want to run for a third term," in Poland last week another premature candidacy was getting under way. Pennsylvania's Governor George H. Earle, who two months ago in the U.S. plumped loudly for a Roosevelt third term, had a member of his staff give the Warsaw press a statement describing himself as "the probable nominee of the Democratic party for the presidency of the United States." McGRADY OUT— WASHINGTON—No flower ever bloomed so long or so repeatedly as the rumor that able Edward McGrady was about to resign as assistant secretary of labor. Yet month after month he sweated over his job of settling major strikes. Last week, after a conGUTS— NEW YORK—After a 15-round fight in which he had failed to knock down Welshman Tommy Farr at Manhattan's Yankee stadium last week, Joe Louis retained his world heavyweight crown on points, admitted over the radio that he had been hurt twice. Said Tommy Farr: "I've got plenty of guts—that's old Tommy Farr, you know. I'm a Welshman." REBELLION— MAYARI, Cuba—Startled fishermen looked up from their work on the beach near Mayari last week to see five Americans, nine British West Indian Negroes tumble out of a grounded, rudderless motor launch whose makeshift sail was made of dirty shirts and trousers. Wolfing food and water, the first they had seen in four blistering days, the survivors gasped out a story of rebellion on Great Inagua, southern-most of the Bahamas, 50 miles from Cuba. Fortnight ago, ran the mumbled story of one negro (Dr. Dudley Fields, representative of the governor-general in Inagua, he sent an order for arrest of a native accused of molesting a young boy in Matthew Town, largest island village. Armed natives, blaming Josiah Erickson of Swampscott, Mass., co-owner of Inagua's $500,-000 salt factory, for the order, stormed the Erickson store, killed one employee, then roamed the island in search of other "Yankees." While enraged natives fired the radio station, store, commissioner's residence, salt buildings and warehouse, Erickson, four other Americans, Physician-Commissioner Fields and eight Negroes grabbed rifles, tear-gas guns, cartridges, shot their way clear to the launch. Said Dr. Fields: "We hoped to find a vessel at sea which would take us to Nasau. However, after cruising several hours we ran out of fuel, and our motor broke down. We drifted four days at sea with out food or water." Suddenly down to the waters' edge came Cuban rural policemen, hastily summoned by the fisherman. One look at the small arsenal of rifles, gas bombs, ammunition in the boat and the suspicious police rushed the refugees off to jail, suspecting them of being a revolutional expedition to BOSTON—Studying the problem of suicide has been the chosen work of ambitious young Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Merrill Moore. Last week Dr. Moore reached among other things, the conclusion that suicide is "an important disease." Other conclusions, not all new to psychiatrists but enlightening to laymen: 1) Suicide's incidence can be materially decreased.... 2) It "is the ultimate expression of a personality disorder that has progressed through known stages of a neurosis, often with physical complications recognized as hysteria." 3) it "is unresponsive to medical treatment which, in addition to being ineffective, comes too late." 4) This disorder can be precipitated and aggravated by physical strain and fatigue, psychologic disturbance and conflict, and social and environmental difficulties. Considered as a disease, suicide cannot be cured, but it can be prevented. Some of Dr. Moore's recommended preventives: 1) Reading "psychologically inspirational articles" in newspapers such as Beatrice Fairfax's "Advice to the Lovelorn, fills "a need which we as physicians in public institutions are slow to recognize, namely, the desire of anxious persons to come in contact with the thoughts of others on daily problems." 2) Conversing for an hour with a friend, physician or priest—a simple, commonplace preventive. 3) Eating a good meal, best preventive of all, because "very few persons attempt suicide on a full stomach." How the prospective suicide is to go about getting a good meal, Psychiatrist Moore does not report. FAMILY— OAKLAND, Calif. — Cleone Goad, 13, married Leonard Newlun, 30. Miss Goad's mother's husband is a brother of Mr. Newlun. Consequently Cleone is her mother's sister-in-law, and her stepfather is her brother-in-law. No need to go hungry for hot dogs at San Francisco's 1939 Exposition, for a contract for 35 hot dog stands has just been signed with the World's Fair concessions division. For your Outing Save at McGRADY OUT— WASHINGTON—No flower ever bloomed so long or so repeatedly as the rumor that able Edward McGrady was about to resign as assistant secretary of labor. Yet month after month he sweated over his job of settling major strikes. Last week, after a conference with the president, Ed McGrady denied for the "nth" time that he had quit, but denied in a way that amounted to a confirmation. Said he: "I have not resigned yet. . . I'll give you all 48 hours notice." When Ed McGrady's career as an efficient, two-fisted Washington labor lobbyist caused him to be boomed for labor secretary in 1933, Franklin Roosevelt appointed instead his wife's good friend, Frances Perkins. When Postmaster General Farley recommended Ed McGrady as an assistant secretary, Madam Perkins decided she did not want him, but changed her mind after he, as an NRAdministrator, had settled the 1933 coal strike. Thereafter, when he not only did all the department's important field work but also got credit for being its ablest member, it was no more than natural if Madam Perkins was nettled when labor leaders who had known Ed McGrady for years turned to him instead of her. At least once she drew herself up in dignity and said, "Now, now Mr. McGrady, I'm the secretary of labor." But bald-headed, honest Ed McGrady has more concerns than Madam Perkins. One of them is cash. Starting as a union pressman on the Boston "Herald" after (Clip This Coupon Now) ONLY ONE FRIDAY ONLY 1 P.M. HOUR SEPT. 10 TO 2 P.M.

For your Outing Save at PIONEER Business Conditions in Twelfth Federal Reserve District Good Most twelfth district crops are larger this season than in many years and prices received by growers are generally high. Industrial production and the distribution of goods, which averaged higher in the first half of 1937 than in the comparable period last year, were well maintained during July. The value of new private building projects undertaken during the month was about the same as in June. Because of the importance in the twelfth district of the fruit, vegetable, and fish canning industries, in which activity is greatest during the summer and early fall, industrial output usually expands considerably during July and this year the expansion was slightly larger than has been customary. The apricot pack, most of which is canned in July, is estimated to be larger than in any year since 1929. With most of the pack completed, current indications are for a canned output of Alaska salmon approximating the average for the preceding ten years. Canning of vegetables, principally of peas in the Pacific northwest and Utah, increased seasonally in July. Lumber output was larger than in any month since March 1930, after allowance is made for seasonal factors. Curtailment of output at the time of the maritime strike last winter, in face of growing demand owing to increased building and considerable buying in anticipation of price advances, resulted in the accumulation of substantial volume of unfilled orders by district lumber production. With shipping facilities again available after terminating orders to levels of a year ago, production continued to expand on a seasonally adjusted basis through July. Prices of lumber decreased slightly during June and July, however, and expansion in output is reported to have been checked in the early part of August. Excluding the lumber and canning industries, little change occurred in district factory employment and pay rolls during July. The number of wage earners employed in sawmills and logging camps increased slightly, but aggregate wages declined. In the canning industry, sharp seasonal increases in employment and pay roll were reported. The value of department store sales was about the same in July as in each of the three preceding months, after allowance for seasonal factors. Sales of new automobiles were seasonally lower than in recent months and moderately below sales in July 1936 when payment of the veterans' bonus stimulated trade. The growth in loans of reporting member banks, which was interrupted during June and early July, was resumed in the four weeks ending August 18. The advance reflected almost entirely an increase in demand for credit for commercial, industrial and agricultural purposes, and in mid-August these loans were higher than in late May when they were as large as at any time in recent years. Investments were reduced further, and in the first half of August represented 52 percent of total earning assets of district city banks compared with 56 percent. County 4-H Club Members Return from Convention Thirty members of Orange county 4-H clubs returned to their homes Sunday after attending twenty-second annual state club convention which was held at the branch college of agriculture at Davis.

And as a disease, suicideured, but it can be pre-eminent of Dr. Moore's preventives: 1) Psychologically inspirations in newspapers such Fairfax's "Advice to men, fills "a need whichicians in public institute slow to recognize desire of anxious permeation in contact with the others on daily prob-conversing for an hour and, physician or priest commonplace preventing a good meal, best of all, because "very attempts suicide on a man."

Marine Museum at Cabrillo Popular The Cabrillo Beach marine museum, on the city beach at the foot of the Los Angeles Harbor breakwater, is attracting many visitors, according to the National Automobile club. The exhibits include collections of shells and fossils, strange fish ranging from tiny tropical varieties to huge deep sea monsters, birds, coastal mammals, reptiles, sea plants, corals and many other interesting phenomena. Expeditions to south coastal islands and the mainland have donated many valuable specimens to enhance the museum and northern explorers have contributed trophies from trips into Eskimo lands. Last year, 83,375 persons visited the museum and this figure is certain to be exceeded this year.

Received from connections 6,046 compared to 5,764 for the same week last year. Total cars moved 30,139 compared to 26,891 same week in 1936. Santa Fe handled a total of 29,228 cars in the preceding week this year. Cars Represent Twenty Nations All roads lead to California! That the golden state has the right to usurp the slogan formerly used by Rome is evidenced in a survey made by the Automobile Club of Southern California which revealed that cars from 20 nations, Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines have entered the state since January 1. Canada and Mexico, linked with California by the International Pacific highway, led all other nations with 2280 and 234 cars applying for non-resident permits up to and including July. Four continents, Asia, Africa, Europe and South America were represented by motoring visitors. Out-of-state cars are entering California in record numbers, according to the touring bureau of the motorists' organization. Illustrating the tourist invasion are the number of permits issued to residents of the following states: Arizona, 15,122; Oklahoma, 11,533; Washington, 9158; Illinois, 7249; and Colorado, 6977.
