Professor Tugwell was, there- An Independent Newspaper THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) fore, quite frank to admit the per- Plexities which beset the department of agriculture in dealing with various Phases of the farm question, even though he defended the plans which ‘Trib= | have been espoused to date. Personally, he is a likable fellow. Far from being a prim and profes- sorial figure, he is reminiscent of an adult “Little Boy Blue” with quiet voice and friendly, humorous smile, If a radical can be determined by his looks, Prof. Tugwell is hardly Daily by outside of Daily by mail outside Weekly by mi te, pel Weekly by mail in state, Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Member of The Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper and also the local news of Spontaneous origin published herein.

Credal differ- ences still are much too strong for that. But upon those fundamental rules of life and conduct which all churches espouse there is a growing unity of action which bids fair to make the religious impulse a much greater power in the nation than has been the case in the recent past. Upon such things as command common in- ‘terest, members of all churches are ‘working in harmony together. The result may be epochal. In its ulti- mate effect upon the people it may be as far-reaching as any other de- ‘velopment of these “New Deal” times, for the churches still are the reposi- tories of the faith and moral ideals of the nation. Perhaps the best illustration of the new c~hesion on general issues is the manner in which Protestant churches rallied to the support of the Catholic hierarchy in its demand for a clean- up in the motion picture industry. ‘The matter was one on which all churches agreed and action to date has been unanimous. It is having more effect in Hollywood than threats of government censorship, for attacks from thousands of pulpits are bound to have immediate effects on the box office. The churches can obtain a better moral standard for motion pic- ture entertainment and they are join- ing in the effort to do so. The other day, at a gathering in New Jersey, a former Baptist min- ister, now a member of the state leg- islature, asserted that “the chief weakness afflicting mankind today is spiritual and intellectual” and called for a period of prayer in which the nation would dedicate itself to a new spirituality. Acting on this sugges- that. At least he is not the violent either the mental or personal force to dominate President Roosevelt, as 00] Dr. Wirt and some of his ilk tried to convince the nation was the fact. It is true that appearances are de- ceiving, but anyone watching Prof. 50! Tugwell in conversation finds it dif- ficult to believe that he is a power in the administration in much more than an advisory way. If looks count for anything, he lacks sufficient in- nate force to dominate men like the president and Secretary Wallace, even though he may know more about some things. If the “brain trust” becomes a real Political issue, President Roosevelt has an adequate argument at hand. All he need do is send Prof. Tugwell around the country as its chief ex- hibit. If he does, the fearful ma- chinations attributed to Tugwell and his associates will be hard for the public to swallow. It is difficult to get excited about a “Little Boy Blue.” Expanding the New Deal Persons who object to the New Deal as represented by various NRA codes Should begin girding now for a fight which certainly will come when the legislatures of some 33 states meet next winter. For the next step in the control of industry will be represented in a de- mand that state laws be enacted to kind. Neither does he appear to have solidify some of the codes now in ex- istence. First hint of what may become a widespread plea for new legislation is contained in a survey of the jewelry trade by Dun and Bradstreet, national commercial reporting agency, with the notation that “in some states it is planned to incorporate the retail Jewelers’ code in state laws next fall.” The reason for the demand is stated by the survey to be a general im- Provement in the jewelry trade, at least part of which is attributed to the code. The question opens up a whole new field of state activity. There are ar- guments to be made both for and against it. The public would do well to examine the principle seriously, for if the jewelers demand state ac- tion it is probable that other indus- tries which have benefited from code operations will do likewise.

The Jews, too, enter into this pic- ture of religious renaissance, for it is mot exclusively Christian.

Anyone meeting Mr. Tugwell can- year moratorium, with the chance, at the end of that period, of buying in their property from their creditors. In making this bill law, the Presi- dent admitted that it was not a par- ticularly good measure, but he justi- fied his course on the ground that “the reasons for signing it outweigh- ed the arguments against it.” The President was on solid ground when he rejected the argument that the bill would strike at the solvency of the insurance companies as large holders of farm debts. The holdings of these institutions are in the form of first. mortgages, and the percentage of non-recoverable first mortgage farm loans today, according to the best available information, is negligi- » The President was probably equally right in throwing out the ob- Jection that under the new law farm- er-debtors would be able to obtain ab- surdly low appraisals on their prop- erty, and thus buy it in for a song. It is true, the wording of the bill would seem to hold out such a hope to its beneficiaries, for it goes to some pains to state that the appraisal shall be “at a then fair and reasonable value, not necessarily the market value”; but as the President points out “the provisions for the appoint- ment of the appraisers and for judicial review of their appraisals furnish ade- quate checks against the possibility of unfair appraisals.” Neither of these criticisms, how- ever, constitutes in our judgment the chief objection to the moratorium act. In the first place, to the extent that its provisions are availed of, it will against the farmers themselves.

MALARIA THE NEEDLE In New York city the chief medical examiner did autopsies in 16 cases of fatal tropical malaria in a period of four months last year. The malaria was of the tropical (estivo-autumnal SPREAD BY type). In every the victim had been a drug addict. I call this epidemic of malaria par- ticularly to the attention of fad heal- ers and cultists who do not believe in germs or microorganisms as the cause of disease. It would be inter- esting to hear such a “doctor” explain these cases of tropical disease in a northern city. In every case the drug addict in- jected heroin into his vein—what is called a “main-line shooter” in the parlance of the dope world. Nearly all of the deceased addicts, it was discovered by detectives, had frequented the same lodging houses. Many of them had never been outside of New York, but a few had been to the tropics. It appeared that the heroin addicts J/improvised a syringe from a medicine or eye dropper inserted into a hypo- dermic needle. They call this con- trivance the “spike.” It was frequent- ly used by a number of addicts in quick succession, for injection of a dose into a vein. When the needle is inserted into a vein a small quan- tity of blood nearly always flows back into the syringe. Thus some malaria parasites in the blood of one of the addicts who had been infected by malaria-carrying mosquitoes in the tropics got into the sringe and was immediately transferred to the veins of the next user of the “spike.” He in turn became a carrier of malaria, inoculated with his heroin. Such an odd mode of infection has been reported from several other Parts of the world. Thus there have been outbreaks of malaria among drug addicts in Egypt, in Omaha, in New Orleans, in Chicago and at Fort Leavenworth Penitentiary, all traced to the same agency. A freak or cult healer would have you believe that malaria is due to some waste matter or rotten product of metabolism which the body is striv- ing to “throw off,” and that the logic- al remedy is fasting, and all that hackneyed line which is strongly ap- peals to the great Wiseacre popula- tion. Sensible folk now understand pretty clearly that malaria is naturally con- tracted only through the bite of the few species of mosquitoes that carry the parasite or plasmodium from per- son to person, In this New York outbreak the “spike” used by the drug addicts served to carry the makings of the disease from person to person. For persons visiting or traveling or in the community. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Consult 2 Physician Nose specialists say I have swollen turbinates. One says they should be clipped out by an operation.
