The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine FLOORS AND CEILINGS— WASHINGTON—After 10 busy days and nights, conferences of the house and senate last week compromised on the wages-and-hour bill to put a floor under labor's pay and a ceiling over its working week. Agreed upon was the house plan to empower the labor department to go into the states and see to it that goods for interstate commerce are legally produced. Basically, the bill provides for a minimum wage of 25¢ per hour and a 44-hour week during the first year following its enactment; a gradual increase in wages and decrease in hours during succeeding years, up to 40¢ per hour and a 40-hour week after the seventh year. When the bill becomes effective 420 days after enactment, the labor department's proposed $10,000-a-year wage-hour administrator would begin to examine wages and hours in all industries in interstate commerce to see where and when wages should be raised and hours reduced toward the 40-40 ratio. He would appoint up to 780 boards representing industry, labor and the consuming public, to make these studies and give him recommendations. If the administrator should not like the findings of any board, he could veto them, create another board. To collect pay awarded by the boards, employees could sue their employers in the federal courts. Liability: double the wages due, plus legal costs. Penalties upon employers who break the law: A fine up to $10,000 for the first offense; six months in jail, or the fine, or both, for a second offense. Geography alone would not be admitted as a ruling factor, thus blurring the issue over a "differential" for the south which has caused much debate. Factors to be considered by the boards would be local economic conditions, comparative transport costs, size of units in the industry. SUMMER SIDESHOWS— WASHINGTON — When not making laws, members of congress keep their names and causes before the public by investigations; but because this is an election year and congressmen will be mending political fences at home, there will be fewer investigations than usual. Outstanding investigations which loomed last week were: A $50,000 TVA probe by a joint committee headed by Ohio's Senator Vic Donahey. Because Vic Donahey knows he is not a born inquisitor, his committee has retained a paid inquisitor, 52-year-old Francis Biddle, a Philadelphia lawyer who followed Franklin Roosevelt through Groton and Harvard into the New Deal, served as chairman of NLRB in the NRA days. An ardent New Dealer, Biddle is hardly likely to bring much comfort to the private utilities which TVA opposes. Reds and Nazis and other "un-American activities" will be the quarry of Texas' Representative Martin Dies (rhymes with "pies"), who will have six house colleagues and an appropriation of $25,000. To get this inquiry voted, Martin Dies (who hatred of communists is his political stock-in-trade in Texas) also listed the support of Representative Samuel Dickstein (whose hard red of Nazis is his political stock-in-trade on Manhattan's lower east side). But when the committee was picked, Sam Dickstein was left off. Monopoly. By far the year's most significant inquiry will be that of a National Economic committee, set up by the senate law in response to a special message from President Roosevelt in April. The committee's province as set forth in the resolution spored by Wyoming's Senate O'Mahoney, will be: "To make a full and complete study and investigation... of the concentration of economical power in and financial control over production and distribution of goods and services." "The causes of such concentration and control and their effect upon competition." "The effect of the existing price system and the price policies of industry upon the general level of trade, upon employment, and upon long-term profits and upon consumption." "The effect of existing tax, payment and other governmental policies upon competition, price levels, unemployment, profits and consumption."" The National Economic committee represents the next move in basic administration policy to extend governmental control (and perhaps "planning") further towards the root of business; it gives SEC, the Federal Trade Commission and other branches of the administration the full inquisitorial power of congress, otherwise denied them by law, plus control of dustry, labor and the consuming public; to make these studies and give him recommendations. If the administrator should not like the findings of any board, he could veto them, create another board. To collect pay awarded by the boards, employees could sue their employers in the federal courts. Liability: double the wages due, plus legal costs. Penalties upon employers who break the law: A fine up to $10,000 for the first offence.

Al Jolson, above, will have to be content with a shorter vacation this year than that generally enjoyed by radio stars. Leaving the airwaves on July 12, he resumes broadcasting on September 13. Evidence of the popularity of the Jolson program is found in the fact that the sponsor has renewed the entire cast. Since Lum and Abner introduced their new character, Brother Jake, into their chronicle of Pine Ridge, they've been swamped with fan mail from sympathetic listeners. Fans write in to say that Abner's lazy, chiselling brother-in-law is the epitome of this country's in-law troubles. Days Elman, above, whose pursuit of unusual hobbies has made him one of radio's best-known personalities, will have broadcast his "Hobby Lobby" program over three networks when he takes over the Jack Beany Sunday evening spot for the summer on the NBC-Red network. He started his show on the Mutual network, later going to CBS. Her Missouri farm-training came to the rescue when Mary Margaret McBride, CBS Columnist of the Air, was called upon to help gather eggs at a famous chicken farm in New Jersey. Walking cautiously into the row of model nests, Mary Margaret "shushed" the items off like a veteran and gathered 49 eggs. Rob Griffin of the "Mary Marlin" cast inaugurated and conducted the Stella Unger, above, noted script writer, is presenting a "one-man" show, "The Hollywood News Girl," over Mutual. Her starting date was June 27. Miss Unger writes the script stages the show and handles the dramatizations.

CROP CRISIS— WASHINGTON — With farm prices already 20% under last year, and bumper crops impending in almost every state, not since 1932 has the outlook for the U. S. farmer seemed more ominous than now. The department of agriculture's definitive June 1 estimate of 1938 crops, released last week, was not quite so bad as had been anticipated, but bad enough to spur Secretary Henry Wallace's efforts to perfect a new wheat-loan program. Wheat: In 1915 U. S. farmers harvested 1,008,637,000 bushels of wheat, dumped their surplus into warring Europe, wound up the year with handsome profits. Never before or since has the annual yield topped a billion bushels. But last week's estimates placed the 1938 yield between 1,020,623,000 and 1,045,623,000 bushels, on top of a 200,000,000-bushel carry-over. Annual U. S. consumption is about half this stupendous total. With light crops in England, Italy and North Africa, there is a slim chance the U. S. may export a sizeable share of its surplus. Cotton. Although U. S. cotton growers planted only 28,000,000 acres this year, compared with 34,000,000 in 1937, they are expected to harvest a bumper crop of some 13,000,000 bales and already have a carryover of nearly that much. Last fortnight cotton prices slumped to all-time lows, since then have partially recovered —mainly on rumors of crop-damage from heavy rains in the cotton belt, minor floods in the dust bowl. While 1938 exports are up slightly from last year, U. S. cotton mills have cut production and world consumption for last season is down 13%. In all likelihood cot- municipal paradox, the city's wide, clean boulevards lined with modern apartments' and shops run parallel with filthy, unpaved alleys, so narrow that three people cannot walk abreast, lined with squalid one-story hovels. Fully one-third of the city's 1,000,000 Chinese live on dirty, water-logged sampans, jam-packed along the river fronts. But by last week half of Canton's population had fled, its broad avenues were piled high with debris, thousands of hovels were leveled and the city looked like a human slaughter-house. Japanese bombers, apparently operating from an off-sea base near the Portuguese colony of Macao, for the third successive week streaked bombs down on Canton in almost daily raids. To Canton's symphony of stenches was added that of dead, decaying flesh, intensified by sweltering heat. Rescue workers, handkerchiefs over their nostrils, scrambled in the ruins to drag out the injured, could give no account of the total casualties. "The city is like an open grave in which the living and dead are mixed inextricably," cabled one harried newspaperman. Lowest estimates put the number of dead at over 3,000, the injured at 7,000. Japan's objectives in bombing Canton are: demoralization of the civilian population (successful); destruction of the city's military defenses and crushing the southern terminus of the Hankow-Canton railway, China's main pipeline for supplies now pouring in through British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, 90 miles south of Canton (unsuccessful). At week's end the Canton bombings slackened as Chinese anti-aircraft batteries found their range, and 14 U. S.-made planes arrived to aid the Chinese defenses. temporary demarcation lines ing final settlement under direction.

After last year's huge corn harvest (2,644,995,000 bu.), mid-western farmers were asked to plant 18% fewer acres. But many ignored the request. By this fall, it is estimated that the 1938 corn crop will be average, but that last year's surplus will total 300,000,000 bu.—30% above normal.
