The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine RECESSIONAL— WASHINGTON — As congress convened in Washington last week for the special session called by the president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt set forth the immediateills of the United States as he saw them, suggested what should be done about them: (1) Alarmed by New Deal power competition, private utilities companies have postponed an estimated $3,200,000,000 worth of construction., To a press conference the president suggested that the government would "co-operate" with private utilities. (2) A United States housing boom, which has been predicted constantly since 1981 and has as constantly failed to materialize, has long been proposed as the classic remedy for the country's economic ills. The president last week promised to ask congress for legislation to help such a boom, revealed that Marriner Eccles and other recent White House visitors were actually a committee appointed to find ways to interest private capital in backing it. (3) For the past two years, business has been groaning that taxes on undistributed profits and capital gains are in effect a capital levy and a severe obstacle to recovery. Indications last week were that the president was in favor of modifying both, if only as a token of what his friends wished to be regarded as his "changed attitude" toward business in general. In his message to congress the president emphasized that any such tax revival of this sum, you are all aware that possible further measures involving large additional expenditures are now being discussed. Balancing the budget is as much in the interest of farmers as in the interest of other parts of our population; and it requires the cooperation of the farmer..." Taxes: "Although we are not contemplating any increase in the total tax burden, the character of our tax structure is being given earnest consideration... we have sought to determine whether there are inequalities and injustices in the distribution of the tax burden and whether there are some taxes whose cost of collection and whose burdensome effect outweigh the revenue, gain... We do not wish to impose levies which tend to dry up the sources of tax revenue..." While business wondered what to make of these friendly words, next day Chairman Pat Harrison of the senate finance committee, well aware that taxes are not on the calendar of this week's special session, sought to find out by writing to Secretary Morgenthau: "There must be some modification of the undistributed profits tax." Exulted Columnist Hugh Johnson: "Boy, that's batting this 'must', business from one end of Pennsylvania Ave. to the other—the most hopeful sign on the whole horizon." TEXAS PREVIEW— SAN ANTONIO, Texas—The largest motorized army maneuvers ever held in the western small details, functioned successfully in attack, retreat, flank and encirclement maneuvers. On November 8, after a breakfast of 12,000 apples, 24,000 eggs and .560 lbs. of coffee, the P. I. D.'s men set out from San Antonio in three columns to bivouac grounds 150 miles farther north. Two successive night marches, made in complete darkness except for the lights of cars leading columns, enabled it to catch the slow-moving red army at Mineral Wells. P. I. D. roundly defeated it in a sham engagement of which one result was the capture of real horses and mules for which the P. I. D. had no earthly use. Next day, its task accomplished, the "streamlined division" turned back to San Antonio. In one huge serpentine column 65 miles long and moving at a speed of 30-35 m.p.h., the P. I. D.'s 1,180 supply trucks, passenger cars, motorcycles, reconnaissance cars, anti-aircraft trucks and baggage trailers roared over the 326 miles in record time of 12 hours, 55 minutes. GUILD AND GORILLA— BROOKLYN, New York — Although embattled on a coast-to-coast picket line, the American Newspaper guild last week won a notable victory in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., as it ended a strike against the "Record," Effective Jan. 1 all editorial employees of all four Wilkes-Barre papers must hold guild memberships. But the Wilkes-Barre settlement strongly contrasted with the guild's turbulent campaign against the Brooklyn "Eagle," where 300 employees out of 2,300 have been noisily on strike for nine weeks. The "Eagle," first major New York City paper to be struck by (3) For the past two years, business has been groaning that taxes on undistributed profits and capital gains are in effect a capital levy and a severe obstacle to recovery. Indications last week were that the president was in favor of modifying both, if only as a token of what his friends wished to be regarded as his "changed attitude" toward business in general. In his message to congress the president emphasized that any such tax revisions should be made for the particular benefit of "small businessmen." FRIENDLY WORDS— WASHINGTON — The Academy of Political Science, a prosperous group of United States businessmen, professors and economists, last week gathered for its 57th annual meeting at Manhattan's Hotel Astor, heard a news-making speech on "The Federal Budget" by United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. But before Morgenthau got a chance to say anything at all, he heard two speeches ably marshaling the grievances of business against the New Deal. As alert as a college debater, he thoughtfully pursed his lips while Virginia's Senator Harry F. Byrd and Partner S. Parker Gilbert of J.P. Morgan & Co. proceeded to needle the New Deal's fiscal policy. As Secretary Morgenthau uprose for his rebuttal, the applause was more polite than enthusiastic. It was to come far more spontaneously as, adjusting his pincees, the secretary carefully read the most satisfying public words business has heard from Washington since the inception of its "breathing spell" two years ago. Budget: "We deliberately used on unbalanced federal budget during the past four years to meet a great emergency. That policy has succeeded. The emergency that we faced in 1933 no longer exists. I am fully aware that many of our problems remain unsolved... I am further aware that some persons contend that another great spending program is desirable to ward off the risk of another great business depression. But... I have reached the firm conviction that the domestic problems which face us today are essentially different from those which faced us four years ago. Many measures are TEXAS PREVIEW— SAN ANTONIO, Texas—The largest motorized army maneuvers ever held in the western hemisphere reached their climax in Texas last week as the "P.I.D." (proposed infantry division) of the United States army, under consideration by the war department for two years, was tested for the first time under combat conditions. Consequences of the Texas maneuvers, which started two months ago, is likely to be a wholesale reorganization of the United States army. During the war, an infantry division consisted of about 22,000 men, divided into two infantry brigades of two infantry regiments each, one field artillery brigade usually of three regiments—all moving mainly on foot. Two years ago, United States Chief of Staff Malin Craig decided that engineering and mechanical progress had made the infantry obsolete, asked his staff for a report on a new unit to embody all changes in power, transport and armament mechanization since the war. Result of his demand, the P.I.D. consists of 13,500 officers and men, contains three unbrigaded infantry regiments, one artillery regiment and four battalions. Most important characteristics of the P.I.D. is its ability to march entirely on wheels. Slogging along on foot, an old style division does well to cover 18 miles a day; but the P.I.D. last week covered 326. When reports of its maneuvers have been studied at Washington, the war department may abolish the old style division entirely, streamline the whole army in similar units if and when it can get the money to cover the prodigious cost. Not to be confused with ordinary corps area maneuvers, held annually, the Texas war games started when the first completely motorized division in United States army history encamped at Fort Sam Houston under the command of 60-year-old Major General James K. Parsons. First six weeks were devoted to a series of But the Wilkes-Barre settlement strongly contrasted with the guild's turbulent campaign against the Brooklyn "Eagle," where 300 employees out of 2,300 have noisyly on strike for nine weeks. The "Eagle," first major New York City paper to be struck by the guild, has been attacked not only frontally by aggressive picketing but on the flank by a guild campaign directed at "Eagle" advertisers. At Brooklyn's Abraham & Straus department store a guild demonstrator in a gorilla suit dashed up and down escalators until women's wild shrieks brought police. Said the sign on the hairy picketer's back: "I don't buy my cocoanuts at A & S because they advertise in the "Eagle."" DEATII OF MACDONALD— LOSSIMOUTH, Scotland—Three days out from Liverpool last week on the small British liner "Reina del Pacifico," slowly plowing its way south towards Bermuda and a South American cruise, most of the passengers were just finishing a hearty dinner. Too ill to eat his, however, was the "Reina's" most distinguished passenger, James Ramsey MacDonald. At 8:45 he quietly died of heart failure at the age of 71. Few men living have been more beloved by their friends or maligned by their acquaintances than Ramsey MacDonald. A sentimental Lowland Scot who loved to write sad verses for his friends, he was a founder of the British Labor party, the first person to bring it to a position of importance in British affairs, three times prime minister of Great Britain and an intimate personal friend of King George V. Yet "traitor" was a word hurled at him over and over throughout the last 20 years. Because he spoke faced in 1933 no longer exists. I am fully aware that many of our problems remain unsolved. I am further aware that some persons contend that another great spending program is desirable to ward off the risk of another great business depression. But I have reached the firm conviction that the domestic problems which face us today are essentially different from those which faced us four years ago. Many measures are required for their solution. One of these measures... is a determined movement toward a balanced budget." Deficit: "Our total receipts for this year were estimated in the president's budget summation of October 10 at about $6,850,000,000, and our total net expenditures at about $7,345,000,000, leaving an estimated net deficit of $695,000,-000. "To attain an ordinary balancing of the budget next year—that is, a balance after full provision for accruing liabilities for old age benefit payments, but exclusive of debt retirement — it would be necessary to accomplish a net improvement of about $700,000,000. "Let me give you an idea of the possibilities for savings. Prior to the depression, the federal grants to the states for public highway construction generally ran under $100,000,000 annually. This year, the total federal outlays... are estimated at $253,000,000. I believe it is now time to return to the average annual level. Second, there is the field of public works... on which we are spending $573,000,000 this year. I believe that we can and should move definitely toward a lower level. The total of this year's expenditures (for agriculture)... exceeded $90,000,000. Despite the magnitude entirely, streamline the whole army in similar units if and when it can get the money to cover the prodigious cost. Not to be confused with ordinary corps area maneuvers, held annually, the Texas war games started when the first completely motorized division in United States army history encamped at Fort Sam Houston under the command of 60-year-old Major General James K. Parsons. First six weeks were devoted to a series of imaginary battles against a "red" army. The P. I.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Auto Club Condemns Inspection Stations at Borders of State There is no need for the military-type border inspection stations of the state Department of Motor Vehicles and they should be abolished immediately. It was declared today by Carl E. McStay, field secretary of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The motorists' organization announced that it approves of the necessary check-up by the state agricultural quarantine stations. It charged, however, that the double inspection of incoming automobiles by both quarantine officials and motor vehicle bureau police, the red tape delays instead of hospital-welcomes, and general lack of courtesy shown by the department of motor vehicles are antagonizing and driving away valuable motor tourist trade. Border inspection of cars of all motor tourists, and of many Californians returning home, as a means of enforcing the caravan law is not only unfriendly interference with visitors but is wholly unjustified, said the club official. The Caravan act taxes cars brought into the state for sale. "Caravaned cars represent approximately six-tenths of one per cent of total motor vehicle travel across our state borders," McStay said. "It is estimated that cars caravened into this state average about 1000 per month. Yet about 1,350,000 motor tourists in half a million automobiles will have had to stop at our border gateways, show papers, fill out affidavits and submit to curt lengthy questioning through the department's third degree inquisition in order to get back home. "Residents buying cars from California dealers but taking delivery at the eastern factory have more trouble getting back in California than if they were crossing boundaries of war-threatening Europe," McStay declared. The buyer obtains California registration here, receives license plates and the permanent temporary registration certificate to put on the new car at the factory, yet when he comes back into California motor vehicle department inspectors intensive question him as to whether the car is privately owned or whether he is acting as an agent for dealer. In many instances the private owner is given a red card notice requiring him then to go to a Department of Motor Vehicles office in his county to prove he is not caravanning the new vehicle. The department's attitude is that the California purchaser guilty until he proves himself innocent. Instead of stopping tourists at the borders to catch a possible few violators, caravans brought in without permit could readily be discovered after taxed at the time of sale, or transfer of ownership, the club states. There are five major stop-gates in the law to prevent caravans "bootlegging" without any necessity for border inspection station according to the statement. Dealer must obtain a permit and pay a $15 fee per car before entering the functioned success-street, retreat, flank and maneuvers.

GORILLA— N.Y., New York — Alttled on a coast-to-line, the American build last week won a jury in Wilkes-Barre, ended a strike against Effective Jan. 1 all employees of all four papers must hold workshops. Wilkes-Barre settlement contrasted with the silent campaign against "Eagle," where 300 out of 2,300 have been strike for nine weeks. First major New paper to be struck by loudly against British entry in the world war in 1914 he was ostracized as a traitor to the nation for years. Because he felt it necessary to abandon the principles of the old Labor party in forming his coalition cabinet or "national government" in 1931, Ramsey MacDonald was called a traitor by most of British organized labor. Failing eyesight and mental depression broke his health. The crown, anxious to honor him, offered him an earldom last May, but Scot MacDonald turned it down lest it crimp the political chances of his son Malcolm, who is secretary of state for the dominions. Because doctors worried greatly over Scot MacDonald's increasing melancholia, he was sent on the "Reina del Pacifico" cruise with his youngest daughter, Sheila, for companion. With his body still at sea, the British government proffered him the honor of a Westminster Abbey burial. This MacDonald family politely refused. For years Ramsey MacDonald had hoped to be buried in his beloved Lossimouth, beside his still more beloved wife, Margaret Ethel, who died in 1911. "In Lossimouth are both my heart and my hearth," said he. "A Lossie loon (boy) was I born, and a Lossie loon shall I die." GREEK TRAGEDY— MOREHEAD CITY, North Carolina—Outward-bound to Rotterdam with a treacherous cargo of scrap-iron last week, the 5,185 ton Greek freighter "Trenny Chandris" had barely cleared the port of Morehead City, when in the lash of a whining nor easier she sprang a leak. After a threeday battle against heavy seas that left her in bad shape off Cape Hatteras, her frightened crew of her former Captain George Coufeh through the department's third degree inquisition in order to get back home. "Residents buying cars from California dealers but taking delivery at the eastern factory have more trouble getting back in California than if they were crossing boundaries of war-threatening Europe," McStay declared.

Yet about 1,350,000 motor tourists in half a million automobiles will have had to stop at our border gateways, show papers, fill out affidavits and submit to curt lengthy questioning." GREEK TRAGEDY— MOREHEAD CITY, North Carolina—Outward-bound to Rotterdam with a treacherous cargo of scrap-iron last week, the 5,185-meter Greek freighter "Trenny Chandris" had barely cleared the port of Morehead City, when in the lash of a whining nor-easter she sprang a leak. After a three-day battle against heavy seas that left her in bad shape off Cape Hatteras, her frightened crew of 28 begged Captain George Coufopandelis to flash an S.O.S. to one of the several vessels which passed by. But he ordered them back to the failing pumps, confident the old freighter, bought from the United States Maritime commission, would ride out the storm. As their plight grew worse, Third Engineer Bortas Balaskas slipped into the radio room at 4:15 a.m., stood over the operator with drawn knife commanded him to break the captain's orders and send a call for help. It was too late. Dislodged as the gale tossed the ship, the "Tzenny Chandris'" cargo shifted. She listed crazily, water rose in the hold, the pumps ceased as the freighter foundered. All hands scrambled excitedly off into the dark, cold water. Thirty-two terrible hours later Commander Henry Coyle's coast guard cutter "Mendota" picked up the last of the 21 survivors who clung to bobbing bits of debris. Captain Coufopandelis bore a painful gash on the bridge of his nose, the bite of a sailor who shared the captain's improvised raft and went mad from drinking salt water. The others, six of whom were saved by the C.D.Mallory tanker "Swiftsure," told a gruesome tale: the sea had suddenly become alive with sharks. Helpless comrades could only look on as the man-caters tore the bodies of two seamen to bits, pulled a third through his life belt. Churning the water with their feet as the sharks slashed at them, the other terror-stricken sailors drove off their tormentors. Finally Lieut. A.C.Keller spotted the survivors from his naval plane, dropped smoke bombs and plunged down in dangerous power dives which freightened off the sharks long enough for the "Mendota" to reach the scene, pull the exhausted mariners from the water 40 miles from the grave of the luckless "Tzenny Chandris." There are five major stop-gates in the law to prevent caravans "bootlegging" without any necessity for border inspection station according to the statement. The dealer must obtain a permit and pay a $15 fee per car before bringing caravan vehicles into state; he must list on special form for the department each vehicle received, held or offered for sale by him; he must pay a 50 per cent penalty for failure to obtain permit or pay the fee; his caravan car on which fees have not been paid is subject to seizure and stay by the department; and by vying any provision of the act is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by fine of not more than $500, or by six months' imprisonment, or both. The centennial of the express business in the United States will be celebrated at the 1939 Gold Gate International Exposition in San Francisco Bay.

one big parcel, instead of 11 small ones. A $3,000,000 campaign has been mapped to bring tourists to the west in 1939, year of the Golden Gate International exposition. National travel interests moving land travel westward will spend approximately $1,000,000 as their part in an advertising program that will extoll their tourist attractions of the West, according to Clyde M. Vandeburg, The World's Fair directors of promotion, who recently attended a Chicago conference of key tourist executives of the United States and Canada. Church has Special Services Thursday Thanksgiving Day services will be conducted on Thursday at 11 o'clock in First Church of Christ, Scientist of Anaheim, a branch of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. The subject of of the Lesson-Sermon is "Thanksgiving" and the golden text is from the Psalms: "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him; and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceeth; and with my song will I praise him." During the service an opportunity will be afforded Christian Scientists in the congregation to give testimonies appropriate to the occasion. Patrol Studying Accident Causes On the basis of 362 years experience the state Department of Motor Vehicles is seeking to determine the cause of traffic accidents. The 362 years represent aggregate service of 67 officers of the California highway patrol who are attending a school of advanced training at Sacramento headquarters. Each of the 67 officers has been asked to write a thesis on the cause of accidents, based on his actual experience. An analysis of the officers' theories will be completed within the next three weeks and will be used as a part of the work of the Traffic Safety commission of California, organized two years ago by Governor Merriam to promote safety on highways. Six exhibit structures for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition on San Francisco Bay rank among the largest wooden structures ever built.
