A slender, shy Californian, Miss Luise Auguste Davis, former German citizen and graduate of this year's class of the Sacramento Evening High School at age 71, was asked why she became an American citizen. Her answer: "America is my foster-mother, I feel that when your foster-mother has been very good to you, you should repay her with loyalty and allegiance. No one laughed at me when I came to class with young girls and struggled so with English words. Everyone was kind; everyone tried to help me." "That is America." When you walk down the street, you cannot tell whether someone is rich or poor. By dress and manner they are much alike. I noticed during Veteran's parades that the marching men were all friendly, all equals in comradeship—yet I knew that there were men of high office and position marching with those who have small jobs, perhaps none at all. "That is America." The homely, simple eloquence of that expression of "loyalty and allegiance to her foster-mother" should rebuke any native-born American whose faith in America has been diluted with critical doubt because recent years have sought to undermine the principles of tolerance, fair play and equality summed up by this splendid citizen of California and the United States in the three words: "That is America!" WORK OF CONGRESS— WASHINGTON — Having the economy's grave with the fath bill, the senate has now shown average of his busiest predecessors—and lost but two of them. True it was that the court dealt with had a working M.Dal majority of four (Blake Reed, Frankfurter, Douglas) which for an actual majority was necessary to swing only one of the middleroaders (Hugh Stone, Roberts) to down the conservatives (McReynolds, Berger). And these four were eager as Jackson to New Deal the law. The highlights of the term: The O'Keefe case, upholding right of states to tax federal salaries and abandoning John McShall's preachment and "the power to tax is the power to destroy represented the court's major doctrinal departure for the test." It altered the nation's basic structure, opened the way for taxation of income from government securities. Approval of AAA II in the bacco marketing case was another basic shift. By distinguishing between the production of fake goods and their marketing, declaring the latter a pro-sphere for federal control, the historic commerce clause of the constitution was liberalized. The Strecker decision, declare one-time membership in the cemunist party insufficient cause deporting an alien, was another major bit of New Dealing. Only New Deal agency to receive any set-back from the cemunist term was the National Law Relations board, which was it had overstepped its powers; the Fansteel and Consolida Edison cases. men were all friendly, all equals in comradeship—yet I knew that there were men of high office and position marching with those who have small jobs, perhaps none at all.

"LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE" After all now living are dust, and historians seek to retrace the ebb and flow of public opinion through this turbulent depression era, the keener students will undoubtedly pass up leather-bound tomes in political science and economics, and pass up musty records of specific legislative bills. They will go to "Letters From The People" columns in yellowed newspapers of city, town and hamlet. Therein they will find the direct answer to the puzzle of 1939: Why, suddenly, did economy blocs spring up in State capitols the nation over, compelling a swing away from the greatest public spending spree in world history? Why did 20 State Legislatures, including that of California, make an unyielding stand against terrific spending pressure, fighting through to slash budgets or to block all attempts to increase the tax load? For in those letters, the plain, everyday but sovereign American citizen has his say, and trends in his thinking are unmistakably recorded. A few years ago, as his letters then showed, he was undecided in his opinions on proposed depression cures. So, when the great experiment of spending, of throwing budgets out of balance and of abnormal taxation was launched, the average citizen expressed a give-it-a-chance-to-work attitude. But gradually, as time passed, as debts piled mountain high while industrial profits dwindled; as pump-priming exhausted business instead of reviving it—the tone of the average citizen's letters slowly changed. "I've made up my mind," he writes today, "The plan has had a fair try. It hasn't worked. Let's go back to earning a dollar before we spend it. Let's trim budgets till they are balanced—and cut taxes so that private industry can take the unemployed off relief rolls and put them back on real payrolls." Slowly and reflectively matured, then collectively and forcibly expressed, the voice of the American people is being heeded. Then, too, if the historian of posterity will poke about among the ancient ruins of the capitol at Sacramento, in mouldering desks he'll likely find evidence that Legislators also received—and read—"Letters From The Pople"! The MARCH OF TIME BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine OPINION MIXED— WASHINGTON — From Gallup public opinion, polls, Franklin before him. By such a token, the supreme court term was the term of Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson. Working like a nailer, 14 hours a day, he argued 24 cases (in 14 groups)—a prodigious number compared to the ten of 12 years in jail. $10,000 fine. He not only the first federal appellate court judge ever to be convicted but the first ever to be tried selling justice. More than 3 cases tried before him in 21 years may be reopened. He appealed... OPINION MIXED— WASHINGTON — From Gallup public opinion polls, Franklin Roosevelt learned that, in the mixed view of U. S. citizens, the "greatest accomplishments" and "worst things done" in his six years as president are identical: Relief and the WPA. Of his friends, 28% voted them his greatest accomplishments; of his critics, 23% voted them his worst. Second and third "accomplishments" were banking reform and the CCC. Second and third "worst things" were spending policy and farm program. Interference with business was rated sixth among "worst things," after foreign policy, labor policy. Another Gallup survey showed Mr. Roosevelt's personal popularity had risen form 56.1% at April's end to 58.2% at May's. JACKSON'S TERM— WASHINGTON — With seven decisions, handed down in Chief Justice Hughes's absence and with a great deal of learned concurring as well as dissenting, the U. S. supreme court last week ended its term. Of 1,007 cases filed, it had denied hearings to 676, disposed of 246, with 85 carried over to next term because of late filing. Its calendar was, as Chief Justice Hughes insists on having it at term's end, absolutely clear. Lawyers like to say that the brilliance of John Marshall as chief justice reflected in no small part the brilliance of Lawyer Daniel Webster, who argued often before him. By such a token, the supreme court term was the term of Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson. Working like a nailer, 14 hours a day, he argued 24 cases (in 14 groups)—a prodigious number compared to the ten of 12 years in jail. $10,000 fine. He not only the first federal appellate court judge ever to be convicted but the first ever to be tried selling justice. More than 3 cases tried before him in 21 years may be reopened. He appealed.

ACME CLEANERS AND DYERS 920 N·LOS ANGELES ST·ANAHEIM·TEL·2405 AGE of his busiest predecessors and lost but two of them. He it was that the court he with had a working New majority of four (Black, Frankfurter, Douglas) to for an actual majority, it necessary to swing only one middleroaders (Hughes, Roberts) to down the two invatives (McReynolds, Butt). And these four were as Jackson to New Dealize new. The highlights of the O'Keefe case, upholding the states to tax federal salaries and abandoning John Marr's preachment and "the power is the power to destroy," sent the court's major departure for the term. Derived the nation's basic taxure, opened the way for taxa-of income from government entities. Proval of AAA II in the to-marketing case was another shift. By distinguishing between the production of farm and their marketing, and being the latter a proper for federal control, the his-commerce clause of the conson was liberalized. Strecker decision, declaring some membership in the com- t party insufficient cause for acting an alien, was another bit of New Dealing. New Deal agency to re- many set-back from the court was the National Labor unions board, which was told overstepped its powers in Fansteel and Consolidated cases. TRY, TRY AGAIN— MOSCOW—On the night that Soviet Foreign Commissar Molotov rose to speak the Kremlin was jammed with important personages. The diplomatic galleries were filled. Comrade Stalin and his ministers sat in government boxes. And listening in was a larger audience: world statesmen and the world's people. After years of being treated with indifference, the U. S. S. R. was coming of diplomatic age, and the lecture on international morals and behavior that Commissar Molotov delivered was being listened to everywhere with interest and respect. It was a brand-new experience for communists. Joseph Stalin, applauding the speech's points, seemed to enjoy it immensely. To the latest British proposals for a "Stop Hitler" alliance—proposals which British statesmen had confidently predicted would fulfill all Russian demands—the foreign commissar bluntly answered "nothing doing". But he also said that Britain and France should try again, and told them in plain language just how: 1. Leave the impotent League of Nations out of the picture entirely. 2. Include a guarantee for the independence of three other states bordering on Soviet Russia — Estonia, Latvia and Finland. These three Baltic states bordering Russia, all of them formerly in Tsarist Russia, do not want guarantees, and least of all by the soviet union. What they want is neutrality. But, argued Comrade Molotov, it may be that these little states will "prove unable to defend their neutrality in the event of an attack by aggressors." In that case, since they are border buffers, soviet Russia would want them defended whether the states themselves agreed or not. Although feigning indifference, nazi Germany and fascist Italy showed last week their pleasure at the temporary rebuff France and Britain got in Moscow. In London and Paris, it was said, Foreign Commissar Molotov's speech was a "disappointment" but they would try, try again Apparently they were still trying as the foreign affairs committee of the British cabinet with the approval of the French cabinet, batted the ball back to the Russians, to Latvia, Estonia and Finland would be made only if those states asked for them, waited for the decided that offers of guarantees Kremlin to return the serve. FOR YOUNG FOLKS— NEW YORK—When a contentedly sucks his thumb meals, don't slap his hand off it with tape. Leave him says Dr. William Siddon Lay of Manhattan. Contrary to the liefs of most parents, tha sucking in infants is a hard pleasure. No scientist has proved, said Dr. Langford, to the American Academy Pediatrics, that thumb-sucking produces germs into tonsil stomach, stimulates harmful activity, or causes receding and buckteeth. Thumb-suck may push milk teeth slightly of line, but if it is stopped permanent teeth appear, no are spoiled. Parents who break nursing babies of them only get them riled, which have serious psychological effects. Thumb-sucking in school children is a different matter, said Langford, and is usually a sign: fatigue; illness or frust.
