Fantastic stories trickle out of the interior-PWA department as to the activities of Ebert K. Burlew, Ickes’ administrative assistant, budget and personnel officer, and grand vizier. Inability of other officials and Burlew to work to- gether leaves the Ickes domain operating only semi- efficiently. But the view seems to be that the only way to avoid complete demoralization of the machinery is to prevent writers from publishing stories about Mr. Burlew. Perhaps there ought to be a law. Work almost stopped some time ago when news- papers told how the White House sought a curb on Grand Vizier Burlew's immense powers, while Ickes and Burlew excitedly investigated. Now much the same thing has happened again. Paul W. Ward, writing in The Nation, asserted that Ickes had completély surrendered the job of running his], ' department to Burlew—a holdover from the Hoover- use for republication of all news dispatches credited £0 | Work-West-Wilbur regimes—described Burlew's reported foot met plied sorectngous origin published herein [part in an alleged attempt to “besmirch” the late Sena- the local, Se republication of all other matter herein ®re| tor Tom Walsh; declared that Burlew had built up a also reserved: bureaucratic machine which impeded, if it didn’t block, traffic; and demanded to know: “What is the fascina- tion Burlew holds for Ickes?” eee MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING So there was another attack of jitters and an in- quiry into Mr. Ward and his possible contacts with nu- merous high interior and PWA officials who would like to hamstring Mr. Burlew. Chief Investigator Louis Glavis was suddenly snatch- ed back from a mission in New York, presumably to help investigate. The comic opera nature of all this, @|aside from its demoralization of a buzzing government department, is indicated by the fact that you can hear such stories about Ickes and Burlew versus New Dealers all in Bi baat a eeaatt pat bel gis ing baseball games in Bis- ckes recently issued a secret order, so one story ean avvending k ie fail to be im- |™uns. that all applications for work-relief projects must piarck’s “Big League” park can) clear through Burlew.

And it is the arteries, not the nerves, that are damaged by repressed emotion. With the excitment of the spectator or fan at the ball game or football game or “ the boxing match or wrestling match there {s an outpouring of adrenin from the adrenal glands into the blood stream. Adrenin raises the blood - pressure. It speeds up all the vital functions. If the individual reacts naturally to the emotion, well and good; he uses up the excess energy set free by the emotion, in fighting, running away, dancing about or other- wise exerting himself vigorously. But usually the individual under the wi stress of emotion cannot, will not or does not do any of these primitive things. He just sits there and takes it out in imagination. The effect is comparable with racing your automobile engine or throwing the belt off from a flywheel. : A smoke, chew or sniff of cigarette, pipe, cigar, or plug or snuff raises blood pressure almost as markedly as does adrenin, and in addition to- bacco has a narcotic effect which helps the effemimate one to sit out the emotion, to resist the natural impulse to DO SOMETHING, the impulse to the overt act. Or, im the parlance of the new sex, tobacco enables one to achieve non-chalance. But all this is at the expense of the arteries. Don’t take this too seriously. It is only Ol’ Doc Brady sounding off. Not an authority on anything. All I know is what real doctors tell me and what'I pick up in my browsings in ancient and modern medical lit- erature—and then once in a while I give to a more or less legitimate idea myself. I am quite fond of tobacco and a collector of pipes, Iam telling you just what I think of it. Take it or leave it, but for goodness sake don’t exasperate me any more with yarns about how your grampa started chewing as soon as he cut his back teeth and is still going strong. I fed Tony the Wirish Terror an iodin ration, vitamins and everything and yet at the age of 12 years he applifed for and was granted euthanasia. The vicarious thrill of sport is all right for any one who works or plays hard. It is all wrong for sedentary folk or for any one who is troubled with what the new sex calls “nerves.” What the sedentary individual needs is exercise, active’ play or work. He needs to DO SOMETHING by way of diversion; recreation, vacation, change, steadying down his machinery, regulating his metabolism, providing the NATURAL OUTLET for the en- ergy liberated by the emotions he has to repress or suppress in his daily occupation, Even in hospitals for the insane a job of actual or active participation in a game of baseball, tennis, pingpong, bowls or exhibition drilling prac- tice, has remarkable steadying or normalizing influence. It is among the idle class, the parasites, the folk who never do anything involving physical exertion if they can possibly avoid it, that we encounter alleged “nervousness” or “nervous exhaustion.” People who do honest work and people who get their recreation DOING SOMETHING are rarely ‘“ troubled with “bad nerves.” _ This is evolution, friends. ‘Which way are you going?

One of these is the community advertising value. To have a winning ball club is an asset to a community since it establishes a town in the public mind as a place where they not only KNOW HOW to do things but where things actually GET DONE. Another is the fact that it gives Bismarck an opportunity to put its best foot forward with persons who come here for their amusement. The Capital has held itself out as a FRIENDLY city. It IS a friendly city. But the friendliest person in the world would have little opportunity to prove his qualities if there were no strangers within the gates. Any enterprise which brings people to a city, either for play or for business, is an asset to that community, especially when ft can meet their desires and demands after they trrive. The trade which is immediately stimulated fs only a small part of the commercial benefit. {People form affections for cities, just as they fo for individuals. If the folks in Western North Dakota think of Bismarck first when Whey want to do business or to play, that is all we can possibly expect. Our baseball team gives us an opportunity fio display our civic assets to people who other- wise might not even be interested. For that feason it becomes a very worthwhile asset in Htself. Why not a big community day celebration his position and to influence Roosevelt in favor of high officials who would like to push “Honest Harold” into ® minor position in administration councils. eee POISON TO UTILITIES A powerful factor in the senate's passage of a dras- tic holding company bill—along with presence on the senate interstate commerce committee of such progres- sives as Chairman Burt Wheeler, Couzens, Shipstead, and Donahey—was the work of a battery of three men on that committee who know the public utility business in all its convulsions, Senator Homer Bone has thrashed the “power trust” so unmercifully in the state of Washington that big eastern holding companies are trying to sell their operating companies there to municipalities. Sherman Minton of Indiana had been people's coun- sel for the Indiana regulatory commission: and Fred Brown had been a utility commissioner in New Hamp- shire—jobs in which they learned the impossibility of regulating the vast holding company structures. In committee, in cloakrooms, and ‘on the floor, this trio operated with facts and deadly effectiveness. With- out the three, the senate probably wouldn't have passed the strong administration bill.

With Other DITORS The New NRA ‘Aiea i ews a Times) on the eve e day set for the expiration of NRA, both branches of congress have Reredan the compromise resolution retaining it as a dim shadow of its former self. Its tenure of life is prolonged until next April 1. But by act of congress, taken in deference to the decision of the supreme court, the president loses during this period of nine months all power “to approve or prescribe codes of fair competition.” What ts left after the repeal of this authority?

But even this optional power, Washington, June 21.—The strain on the New Deal defenders, journal- istic and political, who feel that there is the gravest 1936 danger in the supreme court-constitution issue deliberately raised by Mr. Roosevelt, increases rather than diminishes. It is dug up more quickly and effec- tively than they can bury it. ee * No sooner do they finish explain- ing that the president did not really mean it, that the idea he contem- plates an attack on the court or a radical change in the constitution is absurd; that anyhow he is much too smart to get on the wrong side of such a question—no sooner do they lay down these arguments than some other friend or spokesman close to the president bursts out in a new place to build the issue all up again. The fear is that, disregarding dis- tinctions and confused as to what Mr. Roosevelt's idea is, the American peo- ple in their simple-minded way will get the notion in their heads that he is on one side, with the court and constitution on the other. Orice they do that, it is all over. He might just as well oppose the Bible and the flag. Neither the four-billion relief fund, the millions of jobholders and bonus recipients, nor Mr. Farley’s superla- tive Democratic machine will save him. It is the sort of position which, in this country, no public man can succesfully ma intain in an election. ee * ‘The calmer thinkers of the Roose- velt entourage know this perfectly well. And from the start they have exerted every effort to make impos- sible a campaign in which Demo- cratic allegiance to the constitution and respect for the court can be questioned. They may succeed, but what makes them wild is the present disposition of one after the other of Mr, Roosevelt's intimates to promote eration and every civic-minded individual and | Which & suspicious senate feared might be used to cir-|the very idea they are so concerned business firm would be glad to help. The Senate’s Good Sense Acceptance of the Clark amendment permitting the Pontinuance of pension systems by private industry was ® demonstration of good sense for which the senate has ‘Rot been too strongly noted of late. Industrial pensions are sound social policy and no ne has a just quarrel with the idea of protecting the fmen and women who have worn themselves out in com- merce or industry. But it is one thing to have a pension System administered by those most interested and quite Buother to have it directed by a government official fhosen because of political pull rather than for his knowledge of or even his interest in the work at hand. Forward-looking industrialists long have given their attention to the human problem which develops when a worker no longer is able to stand the pace. Some large firms have spent millions of dollars on their Pension systems, giving to employes that sense of se- turity which the administration now seeks to give to the whole nation by political action. They have done an excellent job of managing such enterprises so why Should they now abandon them or place their activities under the domination of a government bureau when they already are prepared to meet the standard which the government declares to be proper. Such a change Just doesn’t make sense and the senate is to be con- Gratulated for insisting that private pension systems be Fetained where possible. If they serve no other purpose they may be used as ¥yardsticks” to measure the efficiency of the enterprise Which the government proposes to set up. Meanwhile, one wonders if some of the 25,000,000 Persons mentioned by the Associated Press as being Bffected by the social security bill aren't being deceived more than a little. The inference is that they will be Protected no matter what course they pursue. This, of course, isn’t true.

He grew almost lyrical over the courage of Senator years ago.

It isn’t worth while to point out that it-has already been amended twenty-one times and that the changes come in the orderly procedure of our system. All these things, of course, are true, but it will not be so easy in this case to get the people to look at them that way. The notion that Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal are on one side; the court and the constiution on the other, is in the minds of a good many of them now, and no amount of denunciation and denial is going to get it out.
