The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine SUGAR BILL— WASHINGTON—The Sugar bill curved through congress in its decisive days by lobbyists last week on the president's desk for signature. It provided for domestic cane and beet growers continue of the quota system limiting sugar imports, and cash benefits to be paid from a ½c-per-lb. processing tax. Although reconciled to holding an umbrella over the growers in the form of a domestic price about three times the world price, the president strenuously objected in principle to that part of the bill which, for the benefit of mainland farmers, severely restricted imports of refined sugar from Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Cuba. But theeto which Washington observers expected would have brought down on the president's head the anger of both growers and refiners. After meditating last week at Syde Park, Franklin Roosevelt therefore decided that discretion was the better part of principle, multaneously signed the Sugar Bill and denounced it, indignantly assisting that a sound measure had been "seriously impaired in its value by the inclusion of a provision designed to legalize a virtual monopoly in the hands of a small group of seaboard refiners." He added: "I am approving the bill with what amounts to a gentleman's agreement that the unholy alliance between the cane and beet growers on the one hand, and the seaboard refining monopoly on the other, has been terminated by the growers. That means that, ereafter the refiners' lobby should expect no help from the domestic growers. That is at least definite step in the right direction." Bulwark against intrusion of alien doctrines of government. Of Franklin Roosevelt, whom he did not mention by name, but whose famed quotation "A plague o' both your houses" could not be mistaken, John L. Lewis declared: "Labor next year cannot avoid the necessity of a political assay of the work and deeds of its so-called friends and its political beneficiaries. . . . It ill behooves one who has supped at labor's table and who has been sheltered in labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace." UNSIGNED REPLY— BUFFALO, New York — Addressing the 38th encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars assembled in Buffalo last week, Major General Smedley Butler, U.S.M.C., retired, uprose amid cheers and whistles to read a "reply" from the president congratulating the veterans on their anti-war resolution calling for mandatory neutrality in the current Sino-Japanese war and the withdrawal of U.S. armed forces from foreign soil: "Other countries must make their damned war without our help." When he finished the general looked up, said: "It ain't signed. Wouldn't it be fine if we did get such a letter from the president?" SUBMERGED PIRATES— LONDON—In recent months at least 25 British ships have been attacked in the Mediterranean, French merchantmen have been fired on, numerous Russian ships sunk. Last straw for the British Lion's back was added last week. Lee", a 1,026-ton coastal vessel, was smashed against the British "Suffolk", bounced back like a pingpong ball into the British destroyer "Duchess", rammed through a wharf, piled ashore at the foot of a water-front street. Included among the at least 20 ships sunk was Britain's "Hunan", with 1,200 Shanghai Chinese refugees aboard. Hundreds of fishing vessels and WASHINGTON — Vigorously losing his grey mane in the face of a microphone, John Llewellyn Lewis last week delivered a message on the progress of U. S. labor during the preceding 12 months. For all U. S. labor this year has been the most significant in history. In its Wagner act decisions the supreme court had substantially upheld New Deal labor laws, and although A. F. of claims that it had more than made good its losses to C. I. O. by bumping its membership to 3,600,000, C. I. O. now claims 3,000,000 workers. Both in power and numbers the U. S. labor movement reached an all-time peak. Pre-eminently it had been John L. Lewis' year. Starting with the suspension of the ten C. I. O. unions by A. F. of L., the final break with William Green, the historic events of the labor year revolved largely about the powerful, leonine figure of C. I. O.'s boss. The rise of the sit-down, the storming of the automobile industry, the peaceful capitulation of U. S. Steel Corp., the disastrous strike in Little Steel" were strictly C. I. O. affairs. "Out of the agony and travail of economic America," John L. Lewis declared, "the C. I. O. was born. To millions of Americans, exploited without stint by corporate industry and socially debased beyond the understanding of the fortunate, its coming was as welcome as the dawn to the night watcher. It is now and henceforth a definite instrumentality destined greatly to influence the lives of our people and the internal course of the republic." Of Ohio's Governor Davey, whose militiamen broke the steel strike in that state, Labor Lion Lewis roared: "The steel puppet, Davey, is still governor of Ohio, not for long, I think, not for group of seaboard refiners." He added: "I am approving the bill with what amounts to a gentleman's agreement that the unholly Alliance between the cane and set growers on the one hand, and the seaboard refining monopoly on one other, has been terminated by no growers. That means that, ereafter the refiners' lobby would expect no help from the domestic growers. That is at least definite step in the right direction." SUBMERGED PIRATES—LONDON—In recent months at least 25 British ships have been attacked in the Mediterranean, French merchantmen have been fired on, numerous Russian ships sunk. Last straw for the British Lion's back was added last week when past the destroyer "Havock", on Mediterranean patrol off Alcante, darted the long white wake of a submarine torpedo. Out crackled a message for help and whooshing overboard went seven cyclindrical depth charges. By the time sister ship "Hasty" reached the "Havock" the sea was iridescent with oil. The mystery sub had apparently been sunk. Then two days later the British tanker "Woodford" was sunk by two torpedoes fired at pointblank range from a submarine whose identification had been crudely painted out. Backed to the hilt by France, two long and secret meetings were held in Downing street, and soon came the announcement that a meeting of twelve nations would be called to discuss piracy in the Mediterranean and action to be undertaken to suppress it. Meanwhile, a special meeting of the cabinet was called to meet the crisis, while still more British warships steamed to the Mediterranean to protect British shipping. Since Francisco Franco controls only two Spanish submarines, and Germany is at present anxious to keep in Britain's graces, almost every observer agreed last week that the pirate submarines must be Italian. Careful not to mention Italy and piracy in one breath was Great Britain, busily trying to wheedle Italian cooperation for her 12-power parley at Little Nyon in Switzerland. But Russia, upset the applecort, bluntly sent a note to Rome, accusing Soviet freighters "Timiriazov" and "Blagoev" during the past week, and demanding cash reparations. Just as bluntly did Italy deny the torpedoing, refuse payment, intimate that she would sit at no conference table with Russia. Lee", a 1,025-ton coastal vessel, was smashed against the British "Suffolk", bounced back like a pingpong ball into the British destroyer "Duchess", rammed through a wharf, piled ashore at the foot of a water-front street. Included among the at least 20 ships sunk was Britain's "Hunan", with 1,200 Shanghai Chinese refugees aboard. Hundreds of fishing vessels and small Chinese houseboats splintered against the sea wall and rocky coast as screaming coolies catapulted into the seething water, many to be drowned, few to be saved by a life line of rope-tethered police and customs officers. Hong Kong's business section became a sordid shambles, Motor car parts flew like pebbles, steel lamposts were bent almost at right angles. A waist-high flood of stinking water and mud seeped through the waterfront streets. Though the typhoon was spent after six hours, behind was left a trail of fires and cholera. At week's end., British officials still trying to assess casualties and damages despondently gave out that at least 600 lives had been lost, that the typhoon had cost about 1,000,000 Hong Kong dollars ($300,000). PNEUMONIA PREVENTIVE—WASHINGTON — Everyone of the 300,000 Civilian Conservation corps enrollees who is willing will next month get a hypodermic injection in his arm. In consequence it is hoped that no more than 300 of them will develop pneumonia this winter, that only 10 of them will die from this disease which regularly kills 100,000 people in the U.S. every year. But CCC men who refuse the injections may not be so lucky, for according to averages pneumonia will fell two out of every thousand of them, and one out of 11 who takes sick may expect to die. Bacteriologists and chemists of Washington's army medical school last week busily prepared this new preventive. HONG KONG TYPHOON—HONG KONG, China—Magnificent landlocked Hong Kong harbor Of Ohio's Governor Davey, whose militiamen broke the steel strike in that state, Labor Lion Lewis roared: "The steel puppet, Davey, is still governor of Ohio, but not for long, I think, not for long! No tin hat brigade of goosestepping vigilantes or bible-pabbling mob of blackguarding and corporation-paid scoundrels will prevent the onward march of labor." Of capitalism, John L. Lewis declared: "Unionization, as opposed to Communism, presupposes the relationship of employment; it is based upon the wage system and it recognizes fully and unreservedly the institution of private property and the right to investment profits.

To avoid adulteration they worked in glass cages, sterilized each morning by live steam and ventilated all day by sterile conditioned air. Before the men entered the cages, which contained no germs except those in test tubes, flasks and 5-gal demijohns, they changed every stitch of clothing. Reclamation of Alder Orange Co. The reclamation of land formed by carrying excess quantities of salts for crop production purposes is progressing in the county, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. This has been made possible because of a general lowering of the water table in the areas where alkali was a problem and because of a better understanding of how to handle sulphides. To successfully reduce the content of a soil either artificially drainage with tile lines must be provided or the water table must be at a sufficient depth to permit leaching of the salts by surface applications of fresh water. The water table has been lowered in places by the installation of drainage lines but of recent years the natural lowering of the water table has been sufficient over considerable area to permit leaching out of the salts. With the underground water table at sufficient depth so that there was not the capillary rise of water taking place and the positing of salts at or near the surface as it evaporated, any reduction in concentration of salt from leaching was of a permanent nature. The addition of sulphur in the treatment of black alkali soils has been found helpful. In order to secure the best results when sulphur is used, the land should be leveled before the application made. When applied, the sulphur should be mixed with the soil shallow plowing or disking, after which irrigation and cultivation should be as frequent as is necessary to keep the soil moist and well aerated. In some cases it may be possible to leach the soluble salts from To avoid adulteration they worked in glass cages, sterilized each morning by live steam and ventilated all day by sterile conditioned air. Before the men entered the cages, which contained no germs except those in test tubes, flasks and 5-gal. demijohns, they changed every stitch of clothing. With those precautions the bacteriologists cultured germs, treated them with chemicals, eventually produced a whitish-tan, sugar-like substance called SSS ("Soluble Specific Substance"). Dissolved in salt water and injected under the skin, it stimulates the blood to develop anti-bodies which will kill specific germs. There are 32 different types of pneumococci. SSS is effective only against Types I and II, which cause half of the cases of pneumonia in this country. The inventor of soluble specific substance, Dr. Lloyd Derr Felton, who had experimented at Harvard and now at Johns Hopkins, hopes to develop similar sugary substances to be used against other pneumonia types. But before he can turn all of his attention to that effort he must finish supervising the production of the CCC's SSS supply. This is costing the government 5c an injection. Civilians may be able to buy it for $1 a dose. But to them none is yet for sale. YOUNGSTERS— CHICAGO — Because Chicago's board of education miraculously discovered in its kitty an extra $900,000 wherewith to pay its often unpaid teachers an extra week, Chicago's public schools were due to open a week ahead of time. Then, five days before the scheduled opening, Board President James B. McCahey announced that they would remain "indefinite closed" because of a threatened infantile paralysis epidemic. President McCahey's order brought much pleasure to the city's 6199,000 hale pupils; but to the Carpenter elementary school in Chicago's west side it brought destruction. Picking up whatever implements they could lay their hands on., a band of maraudens broke into the school and proceeded to thwack, whack, hack way through each and every one of its dozen classrooms. They battered blackboards into slate piles and desks into kindling, doused gobs of ink on walls, disemboweled a piano, scuttled kitchen equipment, torre up writing paper, torre down wall clocks, scattered movable and immovable objects on the floor until thousands of dollars of damage had been done. What typewriters they forgot to destroy they took with them, sold for 50c each. Next night they came back. This time they were greeted by a policeman who was surprised to discover that the pillage and wreckage had been done by six barefooted, dirty-faced mopets, twins Chester and Leo Froelich, 9; John Rudecki, 9, and his 8-year-old brother, Walter; Walter Miranda and his 6-year-old brother Norbert. John Rudecki, the only one who tried to escape, was extricated with difficulty from between the blades of a ventilating fan. Bundled off to the station house, they were lined up, photographed, bound over to their parents pending a hearing. In some cases it may be possible to leach the soluble salts from the root zone by the regular irrigation, while in other places it necessary to subject the soil heavy flooding to remove the沙. Oftentimes the question is asked as to the quality of sulphur use in alkali reclamation. For recent tests it would appear though there was no difference. All of the sulphurs used got good results, both in the laboratory and in the field, but the rate of oxidation were different. The rate of oxidation of inoculated and coarse sulphur was slower than the inoculated or finely ground sulphur, but at the end of this week. The raiders explained they did not like their principal...

Santa Fe Railroad Profits Show Gain Atchison's net railway operating income for July was $4,558,941, according to a statement released by President Bledsoe this week. This is an increase of $869,387 over July of last year. Gross for the system was $18,821,711, an increase over July, 1036 of $3,133,180 or 19.97 per cent. Operating expenses were $12,427,899, an increase of $1,529,141 or 14.03 percent over the same month of 1936. Railway tax accruals were $1,-808,794, or an increase for the month of $586,744 or 48.01 per cent. Accruals under the carriers' taxing and social security acts for the month were $341,983. Elks Lodge Plans Constitution Fete At a mammoth meeting of Elks at the temple, Los Angeles, opposite Westlake park last night, plans were concluded for the observance of the 150th anniversary of the constitutional convention of 1787, to take place in the big edifice tomorrow night. The affair Friday will be free to the public and especially to the schools with the big doors of Elks Temple thrown open at 7:30 o'clock. The program will start at 8 o'clock with Verling Kersey, superintendent of Los Angeles schools as principal speaker, according to Judge Benjamin J. San Rafael Tunnels on Aqueduct Ready Construction progress reports received Monday in the office of F. E. Weymouth, general manager of the Metropolitan Water district, revealed that the placing of concrete lining has been completed in San Rafael tunnels Nos. 1 and 2 located on the distributing system of the Metropolitan aqueduct. With the completion of the lining in these tunnels, progress summaries indicate that more than 104 miles of aqueduct tunnels have been excavated and 95 miles of these have been lined with concrete and completed. The entire aqueduct project is 65 per cent completed at the present time. Area in County is Closed to Hunting A. G. Brenneis, supervisor of the Cleveland National forest, issued a statement today warning hunters of the existence of a number of closed areas on the forest in which hunting is prohibited. According to Brenneis, all the area within the forest boundary of the Trabuco district, which extends from the Santa Ana canyon south to the Santa Margarita Rancho, is closed, either by virtue of containing Game Refuge 4-C, or by order of Regional Forester S. B. Show, because of fire hazards. In order to the best results when sulphur is used, the land should be before the application is applied.
