law in the country today.
It has been common practice, this evidence indi-
cates, for large corporations to employ “stool pigeons”
to join labor unions, make reports on the unions’
affairs and memberships, and to obstruct or nullify
their work from the inside. Activities of labor spies
would be first on the investigation’s agenda.

Obviously, the exposure and denunciation of these
alleged tactics—with recommendation for legislation
in some cases—would aid militant labor organizers. It
would also accrue to the benefit of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, which will have the support of organized
labor and pose as its champion while its opposition
has the support of the American Liberty League,
chiefly representative of anti-union employers.
Organization of Labor’s Non-Partisan League by
George Berry of the pressmen, Lewis of the miners,
and Sidney Hillman of the clothing workers is im-
portant because it will be difficult for the other A.
F. of L. leaders to avoid playing along with them.
With Berry at its head, the movement can’t be
branded by Bill Green and conservative leaders as a
mere offshoot of the Lewis-Hillman Committee for
Industrial Organization.
The league’s support of Roosevelt means thqjt 160,-
000 miners and 40,000 garment workers in Pennsyl-
vania, and 236,000 needle trades workers in New York,
probably will be delivered to the national Democratic
ticket in November.

Fred Nicholson of Sanger is one of Denton County’s
ball players who has apparently made good with the
majors and made his first appearance in the big
show with the Detroit Tigers Thursday when he ran
for Spencer in the ninth. Nicholson was drafted by
the Tigers from Denison in the Western Association
last season and went to the spring training camp this
year. His appearance Thursday was the first confirm-
ation of expectations that he had made good and
would probably be retained this season as a utility
man.

Man About Manhattan
By GEORGE TUCKER
NEW YORK, April 13.—The welter of campaign
material floating around has assumed such propor-
tions that nobody is safe. You’re handed a brochure
every time you turn a corner.
Most of it is in pamphlet form, but now that the
political conventions are coming up the prominent
candidates are having their biographies poured on
the press.
Probably the most widely distributed of these is an
enthusiastic summing-up of Frank Knox, the Chi-
cago publisher. Then there is Frederick Palmer’s
panegyric appraisal of Alfred Landon, the governor
of Kansas. The latest one, and by far the • heftiest
tome of them all, is “Borah of Idaho,” a veritable
Anthony Adverse of a book utilizing some 500 pages.
Too, there is “The Living Jefferson,” in which Mr.
James Truslow Adams, after considering the philoso-
phies of Jefferson and Hamilton, draws a bead on the
New Deal.

Behind Scenes in Washington
By RODNEY DUTCHER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 13.—Several developments
on the labor front point to intensification of the long
struggle between employers and employes in industry.
These include unprecedented political activity by
labor groups, evidence of repressive tactics of a sen-
sational nature, the rise of labor organizations to de-
mand a voice in new fields, and likelihood of a Senate
investigation of industrial practices inimical to labor
organization.
The old-fashioned conception of the employer as a
benevolent personage with the welfare of his workers
at heart, though it still must apply in many cases, has
taken a severe jolt with, the revelation reported to
have been made in a Senate probe that major in-
dustries were secretly buying stores of machine guns,
tear gas, revolvers, and ammunition, in anticipation
of labor strikes
The .evidence was found by the Senate Munitions
Committee in the files of Federal Laboratories, Inc.,
of Pittsburgh, dealers in tear and nauseating gas,
who handle pistols and machine guns on the side.

By Brooke Peters Church
GRANDMOTHERS
Mrs. Smith frequently insisted
that grandmothers were an unprin-
cipled group, and that they spoiled
the children and were subversive
of discipline. “They have no sense
of responsibility, no honor, when
it comes to their dealings with their
grandchildren,” she declared.
To many a mother still burden-
ed with the responsibility and care
of little children this often seems
very true. They are exasperated at
the care-free attitude of the older
women, who take the children so
quietly and enjoy them without
worry..
Of course there are grandmothers
and grandmothers. Some are med-
dling and interfering, always criti-
ciing their daughters and daugh-
ters-in-law; others find the chil-
dren a nuisance and badly brought
up; still others resent being grand-
mothers at all, and as far as pos-
sible avoid the tell-tale third gen-
eration.
But the average grandmother who
indulges the children here and there
with forbidden sweets, or occasion-
ally rocks a baby to sleep with a
lullaby, or slips a little pin-money
into a child’s pocket, or takes the
youngsters to a show on a school
day, is one of. the most precious
memories a child can have to look
back upon.
The mother, if she is wise, will
never notice that her rules have
been broken. The children will nev-
er expect from her what they get
from grandma, so long as she is
unaware, or at least seems unaware
of the secret liaison.
Meanwhile the mother is giving-
joy to two generations,—the passing
and the coming, and so linking the
past with the future. No. child can
be utterly provincial and narrow-
mifided if he has known more than
what is in. his immediate span of
time.
Furthermore, the youngsters learn
consideration and respect for oth-
ers far better from a grandmother
than, from their own parents whom
they look upon as strong and all
powerful.
April 1 marked the third anni-
versary of the Civilian Conservation
Corps, and in connection with this
fact, a statement has been issued
of the situation in Denton County
pertaining- to the camp here, which
was established last summer. The
Soil Conservation Association here
has a membership of 311 farmers,
representing 63,812 acres of land lo-
cated within a radius of 20 miles
of Denton. This association was or-
ganied last August. Soil conserva-
tion work is being done by the local
camp on land owned by the mem-
bers of this association. The work
here was delayed' during the fall
and winter by rain and cold wea-
ther, but good progress has been
made this spring except for the fact
that the work can not be complet-
ed on many farms because of the
fact that crops have been planted,
and completion of the jobs will
have to await the gathering of the
crops in the summer or fall.

The huge slice Texas has obtained
from government expenditures since
it began to figure so prominently in
Federal affairs several years ago is
causing wonderment in congres-
sional circles, says an Associated
Press story from Washington.
Where Texas obtained $3,000,000 for
its centennial celebration, Arkan-
sas, Connecticut and other states
ask only $500,000. WPA allocations
of about $30,000,000 put Texas ahead
of most other states. Litigation in
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court recently called attention to
the fact that Texas had not been
given, in effect, $50,000,000 for two
river development projects.
Plans for Denton County’s an-
nual fair are being expedited, and
it is hoped to name the superin-
tendents bf departments within a
few days and have them meet an
early date for the purpose of de-
termining premiums and making up
the catalogue. J. Penn Heath, well-
known farmer, has been named
president of the County Fair Asso-
ciation for the year, succeeding C.
A. Scott, who resigned. The direc-
tors of the organization do not in-
tend . to be caught napping- in the
matter of getting work under way
early enough to insure another suc-
cessful fair this year. The fairs in
recent years have been unusually
successful, both from a financial and
agricultural and livestock promo-
tional standpoint—something which
can not be said of many of the
county fairs in the state.

It has two spreading arches and a high tower from
which generations of pigeons have billed and cooed.
There was a moment of excitement on the day the
church was completed. One of the workmen let out
a yell and called the engineer and the others to him.
“Look,” he cried, pointing toward the first arch.
That caused a real furor. The arch was spreading.
Any minute they expected the tower to topple over
and perhaps crush a house top. Naturally the alarm
was sounded and the police drew a ring around the
block. Everybody was v,-arned to keep out of the way.
Then they waited for the tower to topple over. But,
it didn’t. Almost with a sigh it just squatted down on
the sidewalk, like a tired old charwoman.
LOYALTY OATHS FOR TEACHERS
It is “utterly ridiculous,” says President Angell of
Yale University, to require teachers to subscribe to
oaths of loyalty. The discrimination, he goes on to
say, is the odious thing. Why, he asks, should teach-
ers be required to do something that other molders
of public opinion are not? If the teacher must take
an oath of allegiance, why not the newspaper editor,
the radio speaker and the movie enwsman?
Wisconsin can be glad that it did not yield to the
hysteria which in some states forced teacher and even
pupil loyalty declarations on the statute books. Citi-
zens .cannot be maed real Americans by forcing them
to-take oaths. Teacher selection is a difficult thing,
but it is. not aided by the flimflam of an oath— Mil-
waukee Journal.

GETTING MORE CIVILIZED
The latest political upheaval in Mexico was surpris-
ingly mild. In a land where the firing squad usually
takes care of unwanted unsuccessful leaders, it is sur-
prising that such simple punishment as banishment
, should be inflicted.
Yet that is all that President Cardenas did to for-
mer president Plutarco Elias Calles. A little hastily,
■ perhaps, but with all. courtesy, the former “strong
man” of Mexico was escorted aboard a plane and
shipped to the United States. Here, he may continue
to harass the present government of Mexico, and
may even engineer a coup, if he still has enough pow-
erful friends in Mexico.

OLD-FASHIONED PUNISHMENT
Delaware is sick of the present day type of unde-
sirable citizens who commit a petty crime just in or-
der to stay a few days or weeks in a nice cool jail,
free from all bother of earning a living. The justice
in one little town in that State made an example of
one such type of unwelcome guest by giving ten
lashes on a bare back, together with six months in
jail for petty thievery.
Texas doesn’t have a law authorizing lashes as do
■ some of the old Eastern States, but the idea isn’t a
had one. Perhaps a little rough treatment wouldn’t
make jails so attractive to a certain class of indi-
viduals who don’t care where they are, so long as they
are fed and kept reasonably warm.

NEW LIFE FOR TRINITY NAVIGATION
Last August when the army engineers turned
thumbs down on the Trinity River navigation project,
many Texans assumed that the proposed canal to
give Fort Worth and Dallas water transportation to
the Gulf was a dead issue, at least for a number of
years.
But last Saturday the army engineers recommend-
ed the Trinity for flood control and Senator Shep-
pard has offered a bill authorizing a floqfl control sur-
vey of the river. The Trinity is now listed among a
group of rivers which were selected in the $300,000,000
flood control bill which passed the House, and which
probably will be increased by the Senate.
If a flood control project is authorized for the Trin-
ity, one of the major objections of the army engineers
—the cost—will be removed from the Trinity naviga-
tion project, for much of the investment necessary
for flood control will fit in with the navigation pro-
gram. The committee urging canalization of the Trin-
ity estimated the cost would be $60,000,000, but army
engineers figured that $100,000,000 would be necessary
to make the river navigable.

CAPITAL JIGSAW
By HOWARD C. MARSHALL
AUSTIN, Aptrij 13.i—(T)—Theire
is a strong suspicion that the pub-
lic narrowly . missed being denied
the rich story of the nude statu-
ary and the pioneer Texas woman.
Save for the tip of a man prom-
inent in Centennial activities, the
model which made front •. page
headlines for four days, miglijt
have beein .shipped back to its cre-
ator in New York an^ the statue
finally placed on the campus of
the State College of Women
probably would have been as con-
ventionally attired as grandma go-
ing- to church.
This man, knowing that the
Board of Control’s committee on
art had unanimoushly selected a
nudie group of a woman, a man, a ,
boy and a baby out of a broad,
competion, was uneasy that, despite
the board’s objection, this memo-
riial actually would be erected.
Theirqfoi’e he suggested to a press
correspondent that a nude was
to represent the pioneer Texas wo-
man and the model, duly approv-
ed, at that moment was resting
under lock and key in Senator
Tom Deberry’s old office, now tha
Senate reception room. It was all
that was needed.
The Board of Control was reluct-
ant to turn the story loose, and
with reason. Several times pre-
viously it had been embroiled over-
matters of art, notably how long
Sam Houston’s coattails should be
and whether the public would ob- 1
ject to walking on such heroic
names as Houston, Austin, Fan-
nin, Crockett and Bowie if they
were built into the capitol’s new
floor.
As John Wallace, board member,
recently said, “if we say white some
one promptly says black and with
the centennial opening just a few
weeks away we have to get the
job done.”
At first Wallace and Claude Teer,
board chairman, indicated the)y
weire in the dark as to the model
selected then, as time passed their
memoirs freshened and they re-
called the bit cf plaster about 18
inches high, was upstairs under
guard of a watchdog who had or-
ders to keep everybody away.
They said they never had been
officially notified of the selection.
Others about the) place said that
the astute board members had
merely beein saying nothing and
hoping to get the model back to
the artist and properly draped,
which the artist admitted he had
agreed to do.
In any event, the board was right
about the willingness of all parties
to argue over public art.

EMOTIONS AND DISEASE
We know that strong emotions
may deeply alter the workings of
the body, producing such effects as
nausea, diarrhea, palpitation of the
heart, etc. These effects are of a
temporary nature, and are tech-
nically classed as reversible altera-
tions.
However, we also know that
strong emotions may in time pro-
duce permanent, organic alterations
in the body of the so-called irrever-
sible type.
Precisely
may cause
changes is, however,
clearly established.
To this problem Professor Sven
Ingvar recently made an interest-
ing contribution. We know, he
pointed out, that the brain is con-
nected with the glands of internal
secretion, and with the internal or-
gans, through the vegetative nerv-
ous system. The latter consists of
a complex of nerves distributed
throughout the chest and abdomen
and connected with their contents.
Emotions, then, arising in the brain
may by way of the sympathetic
nervous system affect the functions
of the internal organs and
glands of internal secretion.
Assuming an abnormal stimula-
tion or inhibition of the muscles of
the tublar organs (the intestines,
for example) a cramp or spasm will
arise at some point. This spasm
causes a local anemia, which, if suf-
ficiently intense and sufficiently
prolonged, may lead to local ul-
ceration. According to Dr. Ingvar
gastric ulceration might, in part at
least, be explained on the basis of
this mechanism.
Similarly, a cramp at the outlet
of the gall-bladder (constructing
the duct through which the bile is
poured into the intestinal tract)
may lead to the .stagnation of bile
and the formation of gallstones.
This hypothesis offers an ingeni-
ous explanation, of how strong emo-
tions may lead to organic body
changes. Further study and. experi-
ment, however, are necessary to
prove its validity.
