Fingerprintui* Eva ybody
WASHINGTON
(Continued from Page 1)
The movement for the re-
cording of everybody’s finger-
prints seems to be gaining
momentum. In several com-
munities voluntary organiza-
tions have been formed to en-
courage parents to have their
children's fingerprints record-
ed—and, -incidentally, their
own. Many municipalities
now require the fingerprinting
oPevery applicant for a public
job. Sometimes, when these
fingerprints are sent to Wash-
ington for comparison with
these of persons of known
criminal records, strange dis-
coveries are made. Crooks of
varying degrees have thus
been detected in their efforts
to get on the public payroll in
positions of trust.
The largest collection of
fingerprints anywhere in the
world is in the department of
Justice in Washington. An.
even larger file may soon have
to be established, to identify
persons claiming benefits un-
der the new Social Security
Act. There does not seem to
be any good argument against
keeping a (fingerprint record
for identification purposes.
Criminals and their lawyers
are about the only serious ob-
jectors.
Recently several “missing"
men were located by means of
their fingerprint records, and
the identity of several persons
killed in accidents was estab-
lished by the same means. The
Department of Justice has
opened its files to those who
wish to place their own finger-
prints on record, and the num-
ber availing themselves of this
privilege is steadily growing.
Observing the Sabbath
One Sunday morning a
sturdy “auld Hieiander" and
his son were walking tOikirk
over the Scotch moors. After
a long silence that seemed to
the laddie unendurable, he re-
marked, “It’s a fine day, Fai-
ther.”
No answer.
They walked on another
two miles in silence. “It’s a
fine day. Farther,” repeated
the boy.
“And it’s no the day to re-
mark aboot it, Sandy,” said
the father severely.—Christian
Science Monitor.

Congress Action Predicted
One inevitable effect of the
Townsend threat, observers
here believe, will be a desper-
ate effort to put through at the
comiu gscesion of Congress
some amendment to the Social
Security Act, to make the Old-
Age Benefits provided for by
that measure payable imme-
diately and in full to every
qualified person, instead of at
some time in the distant future.
Also, to “raise the ante” from
the present sliding scale,
which runs from $10 to $85 a
month, to come nearer to meet-
ing the demands of the Town-
senditea.
There is little belief, how-
ever, that such a program can
be put over. It is fairly cer-
tain that President Roosevelt
would veto it if it were passed.
The Social Security Act oniy
ceived his approval after the
parts which would have re-
quired direct appropriations by
the Federal Government were
stricken out, and the plan put
on an actuarial self-perpetuat-
ing basis.
The political implications of
the Townsend threat as it may
affect the choice of the Repub-
lican candidate, and the elec-
tion next November, are being
carefully appraised. It is a
quite general understanding
that Senator Borah would be a
satisfactory candidate to Dr.
Townsend and his followers.
But that fact, on the faee of it,
provides nother reason why
the Republicans are not likely
to Eominate him.
Republican strategists would
welcome a strong third party
movement of this kind, for the
general assumption is that it
would draw many more votes
away from Mr. Roosevelt and
Democratic Party than from
the Republicans. That as-
sumption, however, is some-
what debatable. There is no
evidence that. Republicans are
any less desirous then Demo-
crats of getting Old Age Pen-
sions.
G. O. P. Leaders Warned
The Republican hope is that
around the Townsend move-
r at there will rally all of the
diverse groups of malcontents,
who are dissatisfied with the
New Deal and distrust the Old
Guard. While all of the polls
that have been taken, public
and private, indicate a decided
trend away from the New
Deal, the Republican leaders
who met here for their Nation-
al Committee's annual meet-
ing last week, were warning
each other and everybody else
against overconfidence.
Hr. Roosevelt’s personal
charm and popularity, wise
ones in the Opposition ranks
recognize, can overcome a
huge amount of dissatisfaction
with the acts and policies of
the Administration to date.
Nothing would be easier than
to lay the blame for failures
on underlings who “betrayed
u. President's confidence,”
while -laiming personal credit
for the successes.
One of the underlings on
whose shoulders much of the
load of criticism is being heap-
ed. particularly by farmers,
and lately by the business ele-
ments. is Professor Tugwell.
The President’s closest politi-
cal advisers are unceasing in
urging Mr. Roosevelt to get rid
of Dr. Tugwell, for strategic
reasons. What the outcome
will be is still doubtful.
Among Republican Presi-
dential possibilities who are
out in the open. Governor Lan-
don of Kansas is away in the
lead now, and gaining. That
he will take the largest block
of delegates to the next nation-
al convention now seems prob-
able. That he or anyone e*se
will have a majority in the
first ballot is dobtfnl.”
Be ye also patient; stablish
your heart-—Behold we count
them happy that endure.
