The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine FIRST DAYS— WASHINGTON—When the 75th congress met for the first time last January, the country was compa­tively prosperous, Franklin Roosevelt had just been re­soundingly endorsed at the polls, and the New Deal had a huge Democ­ratic majority in both houses. When the 75th congress recon­vened last week in a special session ostensibly to enact the ambitious program outlined by the president in his fireside chat six weeks ago, New Deal ranks split by last winter's court plank: were still sharply divided; and the president's popularity, despite his triumphal tour of the west this fall, seemed subject to re-check. Most important of all, what had looked six weeks ago like a minor reaction on the New York stock exchange had developed into a major business recession which was not only the longest since 1933 but one of the sharpest in U. S. economic history. What congress would accomplish in this second session was still unpredictable last week, but two things it least looked certain: under the stimulus of recession, congress was likely to show an independence toward the White House unprecedented since 1933; and both Vice President John Nance Garner in the senate and Speaker William Bankhead in the house were going to have their hands full making congress do much of anything before it moves to adi­dion, presumably about program called for legislation on crop control, wages and hours, reorganization of the executive branch of the government and regional planning. Farm Bill: After a week of feverish work, the subcommittees finally had a farm bill ready to report which the full committee was expected to bring in at last week's end. Based on regional hearings held before the session started, it included provisions for control by the Department of Agriculture of five major crops: wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco and rice. Wheat and corn acreage and marketing quotas would be based on the aim of giving a bushel of either the same purchasing power it had between 1909 and 1914. The government would impose on every bushel sold over Department of Agriculture marketing quotas a penalty tax of 50% of its price—provided that in a referendum before the scheme goes into effect, two-thirds of the farmers affected approve the plan. Secretary Wallace's ever-normal granary would apply to both crops: the government would begin to buy wheat for use in periods of scarcity when the supply is 10% above normal, corn when it reaches normal. For cotton and tobacco farmers, the bill provided both penalties for over-production and bounty payments to encourage them to divert unneeded land to other uses; for rice, quotas were set on the basis of domestic consumption. Black-Connery Bill, giving the federal government power to reg­435 members. Labor Committee's Chairman Mary T. Norton, having got 153 signatures in such a petition, was this week faced with a growing opposition to the bill. Although both Secretary Perkins and John L. Lewis had urged its early adoption, William Green flatly announced the A. F. of L's opposition to the bill in its present form. Executive Reorganization was represented in the senate by one bill; in the house by four, two of which were passed last summer. Reorganization's chance of passage this session was exceedingly small. Regional Planning—The administration measure to set up seven little TVAs throughout the land—was being extensively modified to the prospective advantage of private utility companies and, according to leaders in both houses last week, was "still in the exploratory stage." Exploration was being conducted by the house rivers and harbors committee from which Speaker Bankhead last week said he expected a report "sooner than anticipated." Taxes. In the senate last week, 10 of the 20 members of the senate finance committee went on record for modifying the undistributed profits tax. Strongest opposition to the tax came from the committee's Chairman Pat Harrison who, having failed by one vote to beat Kentucky's Alben Barkley for the Senate Democratic leadership last summer, no longer feels any inhibitions about speaking out on fiscal policies which may or may not have presidential favor. In the house the uproar about taxes was more lively than the senate's, more likely to have reasonably prompt consequences. Most pertinent words on the sub- plish in this second session was still unpredictable last week, but two things at least looked certain: under the stimulus of recession, congress was likely to show an independence toward the White House unprecedented since 1933; and both Vice President John Nance Garner in the senate and Speaker William Bankhead in the house were going to have their hands full making congress do much of anything before it moves to adjourn, presumably about December 18. Cut down to four items when he omitted modernized anti-trust legislation in his opening message, the president's pro- Black-Connery Bill, giving the federal government power to regulate maximum hours and minimum wages in U.S. industry, was passed by the senate just before it adjourned last August. In the house, the bill hit a snag in the potent rules committee, which can at least temporarily prevent passage of any bill by not giving a rule to bring it up for debate and which, since it includes a majority of four Republicans and five Democrats from the south whose industrialization depends on low wages, was last week as unwilling as ever to let the Black-Connery bill reach the floor. Only means of getting it there in this session appeared to be a petition to discharge the committee, which must be signed by 218 of the house's Important News for Travelers: S·P CONTINUES TO OFFER LOW FARES EAST ALL WINTER Summer is over, but if you're worrying about "higher winter fares," take a look at the sample fares shown below.

TREATY TRADE— WASHINGTON—Most frequent criticism of the Trade Agreements act of 1934, under which Secretary of State Cordell Hull has patiently woven a net work of reciprocal trade treaties with 16 foreign countries, is that tariff concessions granted to any signatory country are automatically extended to 70-odd non-signatory countries with which the U.S. has "most favored-nations" agreements. From Free Trader Hull's standpoint, this is the strongest point of his policy since generalizing concessions tends to increase the volume of world trade. But it has given many a Hull critic an opportunity to argue that with U.S. tariff favors so lightly won the non- Summer is over, but if you're worrying about "higher winter fares," take a look at the sample fares shown below.

Because the Amish churches frown upon written contracts, loans, gifts and joining secular organizations, the "plain people" refused to sign contracts with the AAA or accept its benefits, although they were willing to reduce acreage where the law required. Mennonites in industry pay social security taxes, but declare they will not accept social security pensions; nor will they join labor unions, although they meekly allow union dues to be "checked off" their wages. Amishmen and Mennonites of East Lampeter township last year petitioned the government not to grant $56,200 of PWA money to their school board for a consolidated school. When their petition failed and the school was completed, the Mennonites last month decided to defy the law and keep their children home. But Pennsylvania liberal Governor George Howard Earle came to the rescue, ordered that they be permitted to put their children in rural one-room schools as they had been accustomed to. In gratitude last week 500 Mennonites and Amishen of East Lampeter voted to give Governor Earle a turkey, a jug of eider, a pumpkin and some corn, every Christmas as long as he lives.

Back in Germany after the war he evolved the scheme of fitting modern freighters with automobile elevators so that U. S. cars could be exported to Europe uncrated and unscratched. So successful was this that Bernstein "floating garages" have long carried over 60% of all U. S. automobile exports, made enough money for sole Owner Arnold Bernstein to allow him to buy out the American-Belgian-British Red Star Line and incidentally bring into Nazi Germany thousands of dollars yearly in much needed foreign exchange. Although he kept control of his business much longer than most Jewish yechoons, Nazi extremists last January had Shipper Bernstein and four of his managers (three Jewish) clapped into jail, charged with "economic sabotage" through infringing German foreign exchange regulations, and in Hamburg last week Arnold Bernstein's trial began. Of all the eight charges in an 88-page indictment against him, gravest was that several years ago he set aside in Manhattan banks a fund from the Arnold Bernstein & Red Star Lines' profits to be held for a rainy day. But Hamburg lawyers scoffed at news stories that Bernstein "faces death", expected him to get anything from a five-year jail sentence to pardon. Since Bernstein's arrest, Director Herman Kollmar of his Red Star line has been in amicable contact with Minister-President & Economic Director Herman Goring, seeking a pardon, showing "Square Deal" Issue Urged for "Boss" There is a need now for "square deal for management well as for workers." All Reeves, general manager of the Automobile Manufacturers association, declares. Because managements are being treated fairly, he indicates the employee and the public large are suffering. This, he is because extra costs have been added to products of manufacturers, making it difficult to higher wages and placing an extra burden on the consumer. What disturbs the outlook now," he said, "is the very dangerous 'they can't discharge attitude of too many misinform workers with a chip on their shoulders.' He described down and slow-down strikes "an attempt to usurp the functions of management in determining what the output should be." This is what causes wage losses and additional costs in the product, he said. Quail Numerous In Owens Valley Quail hunters should encounter fairly good shooting in the Sierra district and the Kern area, according to C. B.

Organization and origin of last week's raid dates back to 1936 when a narcotics bureau agent in Seattle arrested a Chinese on a minor charge, learned about a much more interesting compatriot named Chin Joo Hip in Butte, Montana—a wrinkled, cadaverous tongman with drooping white mustaches. Pretending to be the nephew of a rich Pacific Coast gangster, the agent called on Chin and they became fast friends. When the agent went east to buy opium for his "uncle", he had a warm letter of introduction from Chin to tongmen Jimmy Wong, was introduced to Treasurer Ko Wing Chuck of the Hip Sing Tong. The agent bought a generous supply of opium, then went to Chicago where Tong men were so entranced with his personality and appetite for opium that, when he capped his friendly gestures by presenting them with a wad of tickets to the Braddock-Louis prizefight, they initiated him into the Chicago branch of the Tong. He brought along a fellow agent, had him initiated also. By this time, the agent was also expressing an interest in heroin and morphine, which the Tong members were able to supply through a group of white friends who apparently had a reciprocal treaty for opium trading with the Tong. Not until the agents had spent $10,000 and almost two years laying their plans did government officials give the signal to draw in the net last week. New York and Brooklyn provided the biggest haul—five Tong members, ten of their "white friends, and one extraneous Chinese. In Chicago two more were arrested, in Pittsburgh one, in San Francisco two, in Butte two—Chin Joo Hip and men of East Lampeter voted to give Governor Earle a turkey, a jug of cider, a pumpkin and some corn, every Christmas as long as he lives.
