them,” states Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer.
“The Bureau of Vital Statistics is
receiving an average of five hun-
dred applications for birth certifi-
cates daily, and the number of per-
sonnel available in the Health De-
partment to handle this flood of re-
quests is grossly inadequate to meet
the demands made. TTie files must
be searched for each individual
record and when it is found it is
photostated for the applicant.”
“The reason for this great increase
in applications for birth certificate
copies can be found to be due, in
part, to the gravity of the inter-
national situation. Army and Navy
recruits must have a certified copy
of their birth certificates tc be
eligible to enter military service. All
persons connected with the radio
broadcasting stations must have a
copy of their birth certificates. Since
a birth certificate is in reality the
first citizenship paper of a baby born
in these United States, thousands ere

legal proof if citizenship.” continues
Dr. Cox.

HARDWOOD "
1-l.OOR ING
By James Preston
A word to the wise is usually suf-
ficient, but that is not always true
in Washington.
Perhaps, as some legislators put
it, the reason in the present case is
that those officials directly involved
are not living examples of the quin-
tessence of wisdom. Those may be
harsh words, but they are being said
just the same.
The facts are these:
Peace in industry, an absence of
production-disrupting strikes and
labor disputes, is essential so the na-
tion’s factories may turn out ma-
terial needed to make the country
invulnerable against aggression.
Weeks ago, long before national
defense became a burning issue, the
House of Representatives concluded
that for the sake of recovery peace
should be restored in industry by
trimming the powers of tr.e Labor
Board. By a two-thirds majority,
enough to over-ride even a Presi-
dential veto, the House therefore
passed the Smith bill to amend the
Wagner Act.
For many long weeks, that bill has
languished in the Senate Labor com-
mittee despite almost unanimous
agreement that a ciear majority of
Senators favor amendment of the
i Wagner Act and will vote that waj'
if given the chance.
Uninterrupted industrial produc-
tion is. of course, more important
now than ever. But the majority
which runs the Senate Labor com-
mittee apparently thinks that the
Wagner Act which it put on the
statute books is perfect and needs
no change. Thus a few Senators
have ben thwarting the will of two-
thirds of the House and a majority
of the Senate.
Of equal importance is what is
happening while these few Senators
sit on the lid. It happens that some
of these Senators also are members
of the Senate Military Affairs com-
mittee. That committee, oddly
enough, has just voted for another
expansiop of Labor Board powers.
The Military Affairs committee
inserted in the bill calling out the
National Guard a proviso giving the
Labor Board power to prosecute an
employer for an “unfair labor prac-
tice” if he refuses to re-hire a
former employee whe served with
his country’s military forces. Few
people disagree that jobs for soldiers
after the emergency ends are neces-
sary’ But many point out that there
might be trouble for everybody if
control of re-hiring were put in the
bands of the Labor Board, on the
basis of that Board's past record.
Suppose, for example, that a non-
union man went into the Army and
his place was taken by a union
member. Does anybody think that
the Labor Board would have trouble
finding a way to keep the union
member in the job and let the non-
union employee look elsewhere? Few
in Washington think so, because
that would mean that the leopard
had changed his spots.
• • •
Equally interesting is the fact that
tiie Labor Board, encouraged by the
dilatory tactics of its Senatorial ad-
herents. is becoming what might be
called “sassy."
To illustrate: The Wagner Act
does not permit the Labor Board to
have an “Economics Division.” In-
stead, it says that the Board should
utilize the services of the Labor
Department’s Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
But the Board for some reason set
up its own ‘“Economics Division.’'
The chief of this division formerly
was connected with at least one or-
ganization sometimes described as
“pink.”
After a special House Committee
investigated the record of this di-
vision chief. Congress decided against
appropriating money for the “Eco-
nomics Division.” But the Labor
Board just changed the name from
the “Economics Division” to the
‘Technical Service Division.” dropped
a couple of employees, and went its
merry way.
These folks apparently feel that
nobody is paying any attention to
them because of interest in the
European war. Americas national
defense, and politics. They are feel-
ing so set-up that they accuse any-
body who wants to trim their
bureaucratic powers of attempting
to sabotage “social gains" and col-
lective bargaining.
What they forget is that some
other nations who have been ground
under an aggressor’s heel provide an
object lesson of what might happen
to people who refuse to recognize
facts.

The Executive Committee has ruled that under the
law there must be a run-off in the August Primary for
the office of Justice of the Peace of this Precinct. The
executive committee first ruled that I was the nominee
for the office, but has now changed the decision, due to
a ruling of the Attorney General of this State, and
under the conditions existing in this particular case, the
committee has ruled that it will be necessary for a run-
off.
