PAGE SIX The MARCH OF TIME REQ. U.R.PAT.OFF. Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine Presidential Cars Make Debut WARM SPRINGS, Georgia—Oger Georgia's red-clay roads last week drove President Roosevelt in a brand new Ford touring car (license: FDR). In Gainesville, he later took his first ride in one of the new cars which he will henceforth use when exhibiting himself to crowds—a specially-built 16-cylinder, nine-passenger Cadillac with handles on the windshield for secret service men, a stock of tear gas bombs in a compartment behind the driver's head. In the ample floor space behind the compartment the president can lie down, if anyone starts shooting at him. Bill Rendered In "Panay" Incident TOKYO, Japan—When Japanese bombing planes sank the U.S. gunboat "Panay" as she proceeded up China's Yangtze river with a convoy of three Standard Oil tankers last December 12, Japan promptly promised to make "indemnification for all losses." U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Grew last week presented in Tokyo an itemized bill: Property losses, $1,945,670.01; indemnification for death and personal injuries, $268,-337.35. On the $2,214,007.36 total, which includes no punitive damages, the state department expected prompt payment. Reorganization Bill Passes Senate so impressed with the urgency of the problem of political refugees that it has inquired of a number of governments... whether they would be willing to co-operate in setting up a special committee for the purpose of facilitating the emigration from Austria and presumably from Germany of political refugees. Our idea is that, whereas such representatives would be designated by the governments concerned, any financing of the emergency immigration referred to would be undertaken by private organizations within the respective countries." The statement further added that no country would be asked to receive more immigrants than its current quota laws permit. Invitation to help set up the committee went to Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and 20 South American republics. Secretary Hull's invitation was unanimously praised in the U.S. by Jewish welfare groups, the Federal Council of Churches and the nation's press; and prompt official acceptances seemed likely to be forwarded from Great Britain, France, The Netherlands and Belgium. In Warm Springs, Ga., Franklin Roosevelt said he hoped the U.S. would maintain its 150-year-old tradition by becoming an asylum for political refugees not only from Germany and Austria but from Russia, Italy and Spain as well.

In the first of the two final votes on the reorganization bill last week, the senate decided 48-to-43 against recommitting it. In the second, five minutes later, the bill passed 49-to-42, and the senate's reorganization fight was over. The reorganization bill empowers the president to re-shuffle any or all of the 100-odd agencies under the executive branch; calls for a single civil service administrator instead of a three-man commission; splits disbursement and auditing functions by abolishing the comptroller general who has previously done both, giving the first half of his job to the director of the budget, the second to a newly created auditor general; sets up a department of welfare; empowers the president to hire six administrative assistants. Major basis for the widespread claim that reorganization would give the president dictatorial authority lay in the wording of Title I, whereby congressional disapproval of any of his proposed changes in government agencies must be made within 60 days and is still subject to presidential veto, which can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote. Day before the senate voted on the president's reorganization bill, Detroit's Rev. Charles E. Coughlin roared against it over the radio: "It will mean that it's none of the people's business how their tax moneys are used... (It) sets up a financial dictatorship in Federal Council of Churches and the nation's press; and prompt official acceptances seemed likely to be forwarded from Great Britain, France, The Netherlands and Belgium. In Warm Springs, Ga., Franklin Roosevelt said he hoped the U.S. would maintain its 150-year-old tradition by becoming an asylum for political refugees not only from Germany and Austria but from Russia, Italy and Spain as well. Of Secretary Hull's plan, Adolf Hitler last week said, "I can only hope... that the other world, which has such deep sympathy for these criminals, will at least be generous enough to convert their sympathy into practical aid. We... are ready to put all these criminals at the disposal of these countries, for all I care, even on luxury ships." The maximum number of refugees entitled to enter the U.S. under present quotas would be 26,000 each year from Germany, 1,400 from Austria, 2,700 from Russia, 5,800 from Italy. Business: Government Week WARM SPRINGS, Georgia—Rushed by airmail to Franklin Roosevelt at Warm Springs last week was the special report on the railroad crisis prepared by Interstate Commerce Commissioners Walter M. W. Splawn, Joseph B. Eastman and Charles D. Mahaffie. Meantime, in Washington, the Association of American Railroads and the Railway Labor Executives association "decided to wait and see what the president is going to do" before discussing wage cuts. Said R. L. E./A. President George L. Harrison after the meeting: "They told us how poor they were." Said A. A. R. President J. J. Pelley: "And they told us how poor they were." GAINESVILLE, Georgia—Speaking at Gainesville, Franklin Roosevelt declared that wages and the standard of living in the deep present scale of buying power in South cannot and will not succeed in establishing successful new dustries." Ascribing part of South's economic difficulties to old-fashioned feudalism, the president added: "When you down to it, there is little difference between the feudal system and fascist system. If you believe the one you lean to the other." WASHINGTON—Continuing efforts to satisfy the demand for more credit facilities, first ennounced by the small business conference in February, Franklin Roosevelt appointed Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthie Jr., head of a committee to study the problem and prepare a program for its solution. The committee: James Roosevelt, S. Chairman William C. Doughee RFC Chairman Jesse H. Jones and Vice Chairman Ronald Reagan of the Federal Reserve board. WASHINGTON—Introduced congress by Senator Carter Gill with Franklin Roosevelt's approval was a bill to restore to R.C.'s power to make loans to "business enterprise" which is unable to find funds elsewhere RFC's original power to make self-liquidating loans was given to PWA in 1933 and RFC lending power is now limited by numerous restrictions. The Glass amendment is suggested only as an emergency measure to expire a year's time. NEW YORK—As the stock market slumped to new low figures gloomiest statistic of the week with Dow-Jones industrial average of 106.6, lowest point since June 1935. The psychological stimulus for the decline included grave political reports from France, President Roosevelt's Gainesville speech in which he twitfied "selfish few." WASHINGTON — Contradicting advance reports, Secreta Day before the senate voted on the president's reorganization bill, Detroit's Rev. Charles E. Coughlin roared against it over the radio: "It will mean that it's none of the people's business how their tax moneys are used... (It) sets up a financial dictatorship in the person of the president... The immediacy of the danger insists that before tomorrow noon your telegram is in the hands of your senator to stop the reorganization bill, as Washington stopped George III..." For hours after Father Coughlin's speech, anyone in New York City who hoped to send a telegram had to wait at least an hour because the whole facilities of both Postal Telegraph and Western Union were being used by Father Coughlin's responsive listeners. By next day, when the time came for a vote on recommittal, no fewer than 100,000 telegrams had piled up on senators' desks in Washington and quantities were still pouring in. But passage of reorganization bill by the senate did not mean that its difficulties were completely over. From the senate it went to the house, where administration leaders may expect the battle to begin again. Hull Suggests Refugee Committee WASHINGTON — Reluctantly forced to recognize Adolf Hitler's annexation of Austria, yet pressed by liberal and racial groups to think up a practical way to express U.S. disapproval of it, the state department last week issued through Secretary Cordell Hull a statement: "This government has become ABOVE PICTURES SHOWS A GREYHOUND CRUISER LEADING A CARAVAN OF TRAFFIC ON THE RIDGE ROUTE BETWEEN BAKERSFIELD AND LAOS ANGELS.

On the present scale of buying power, the cannot and will not succeed publishing successful new in-issues." Ascribing part of the economic difficulties to fashioned feudalism, the press added: "When you come to it, there is little difference on the feudal system and the system. If you believe in me lean to the other." SHINGTON—Continuing his monumental $250,000 study of public and private recreation in Chicago, last week published its findings in a 176-page report—the most exhaustive study ever made in the U.S. of what people do clandestinely and publicly with their spare time. The report revealed that Chicagoans spend slightly more than $30,000,000—or $10 per capita—for public recreation; $250,000,000—or $80 per capita—for commercial amusements. Other highlights: Chicagoans buy 20,000,000 movie tickets a year. They bought 1,500,000 theatre tickets last year (an unusually big year); 155,000 went to the opera; 205,000 went to symphony concerts. The per capita expenditure for music is 20e a year. Most popular sports are billiards and bowling, on which Chicagoans spent 5% of their amusement money; the city has 500,000 bowlers. oHrse races were seen last year by 859,000; and $37,305,000 was wagered at race tracks. Chicago has 9,331 taverns (the word "bar" is prohibited by law), one for every 388 inhabitants; of 3,000 taverns sampled, nine out of ten violated various laws, 392 provided indecent dancing exhibitions, 113 prostitution. Prostitution and other "dubious" entertainments were estimated to gross over $30,-000,000 a year. Regarding the less savory pastimes, the report concluded that the "red lights burn brightest in deteriorated or neglected neighborhoods," that the cure is not moral indignation, nor character education, but better living conditions.

Urges Reform NEW YORK—Labor unions are first on the list of institutions Americans think are "most in need of reform," the quarterly survey of public opinion by FOR-TUNE magazine this week reveals. Reforming unions is twice as important as reforming public utilities or stock exchanges, ten times as important as reforming the supreme court; and the survey shows that even 35.6% of factory labor puts union reform first. Among executives, 52.9% put it out front. Comments Fortune: "The indignation here seems to be directed specifically at the leadership of the present union movement. Some of it is certainly intended for union rackets. Some of it may be inspired by a feeling that Lewis has overplayed his cards and brought a useful cause into popular disrepute. Some of it may arise from a belief that Green, in contrast with Lewis, has been too inactive in the service of organized labor." Recreational Survey Results Revealed CHICAGO—After working, eating sleeping, most U.S. citizens have some 40 hours a week left in which to loaf, talk, read, walk in the park. But their biggest single recreation, accounting for one-fifth of their spare time and a bigger proportion of their spare cash, is commercial entertainment. The U.S. people each year spend about $10,000,000,000 (an estimated one-fifth of their income) for all forms of recreation, including their public parks. One-third to one-half of this goes to the biggest U.S. industry—commercial recreation. U.S. educators are much concerned with recreation, because what a nation does with its leisure is an index of its character and culture. Northwestern university and the Chicago Recreational commission, which five years ago began a other "dubious" entertainments were estimated to gross over $30,-000,000 a year. Regarding the less savory pastimes, the report concluded that the "red lights burn brightest in deteriorated or neglected neighborhoods," that the cure is not moral indignation, nor character education, but better living conditions.

Eleanor Roosevelt Asks Support of Tuberculosis Diagnosis Drive By Eleanor Roosevelt Every year the country is awakened to the need for fighting tuberculosis by the Christmas Seal campaign. When we do our bit at that time, we think of the care which is to be given to people who have tuberculosis. We think of countless mothers, worn out by work, finding their health again and of children who receive care in hospitals, sanatoria and even in schools. But, there is one phase of tuberculosis work which we haven't emphasized sufficiently, which the early diagnosis campaign is bringing this month to your attention. A much more rapid cure can be effected if tuberculosis is discovered in the early stages. Some children are taken regularly to the doctor for health examinations and when this is done by their parents, they are guarding against tuberculosis as well as against many other diseases. Tuberculosis is one of those insidious illnesses which can flet a firm hold before we realize it. Undernourishment, lack of fresh air, too-strenuous exercise and insufficient rest will start a child on the path which makes it a prey to tuberculosis or any germ that may be abroad in the community. We should all attempt to inform ourselves as to the things to avoid in order not to spread contagion of any kind, but tuberculosis in particular we should guard against spreading. $1,500,000 SPENT FOR LANDSCAPING When the gates of the New York World's Fair open on April 30, 1939, approximately $1,500,000 will have been spent on trees, shrubs, hedges, flowers and grass to convert what was once a series of ash heaps in a swamp into a 1216-acre park-like exposition.
