Barry, because he wrote a magazine article in which he said there were few out-and-out crooks in Congress, but many demagogues, may now have its attention called to a book, “America Go Bus:,” by Repre- sentative Louis Ludlow of Indiana, just published. ‘What Mr. Ludlow says about the Senators of today is not calculated to | sit well on the senatorial stomach. He | charges in effect that too many Sena- = | tors represent “blocs” of voters and & | vote to waste the money of the tax- = | papers at the instigation of these blocs. His indictment of the Scnators was as follows: “The election of United States Sen- ators by the manipulation of Legis- latures too often developed statesmen who were beholden to railroads and other great combinations of capital. A Senator chosen in that way was not a Senator for the people, but a Senator for special interests. And that was bad.

He went all the way back to the days of John Adams to start his story of governmental extravagance. He pointed out that John Adams, when Vice Presi- dent, was guilty of the first extrava- gence when he raided the Federal Terasury to the extent of $35 for a looking "glass. This caused an uproar and he was lambasted in the press and in _speeches from irate citizens.

Today, he said, everything is paid for by the installment plan, houses, cars, radios and furniture. Congressional candidates, Mr. Ludlow declared, are no longer asked, “Will you, if elected, stand for economy?” but “If 'you are elected, will you vote for the appropriation wanted by our group.” Cites Famous “Watchdogs.” The Indiana Representative told of certain famous watchdogs of the Treas- ury. Francis Marion Cockrell of Missouri, William B. Allison, William S. Holman Indiana and “Uncle Joe” Cannon. He said that even up to the time of “Uncle Joe,” men at least hesitated and ained about appropriations. Mr. Ludlow pointed out that in 1913 the cost of the Federal Government per capita was $7.51 and in 1932 it was $40 and that out of every dollar appro- priated by Congress for all purposes, 74 cents goes to pay for war, the prepara- tions for war and the effects of war.

He quoted the case of the physician in the House of Representatives who treats members free of charge. Last year two young men from the Naval Medical Corps were assigned to him as assistants and in order that they might have the right training, they werz sent away to college to take a post-graduate medical course at the expense of the United States Treasury. This year the phy- sician asked for another assistant. His (the physician’s), salary is $6,036 a year. Mr. Ludlow attacked the appropria- tions given to Congressmen’s wives when their husbands die in service and sees 1o reason why the Government should pay the exorbitant funeral ex- penses. He told how $7,500 was once paid for a Senitor's casket. Building Waste Hit. ‘The wastefulness of the public build- ing construction was attacked by Mr. Ludlow, who said that the Post Office Building, which is only 33 years old, is going to be razed because its “facade does not suit the highbrow critics.” These critics, he says, are also attempt- ing to “lift the face of the War, State and Navy Building, because it is so old-fashioned.” The total outlay, he says, cost $190,000,000, which is 26 times as much as the United States pald for Alaska, He attacked the waste in Govern- ment printing. It costs the Government about $20,000,000 a year to prepare, print and disseminate bureaucratic bulletins. The Congressional Record alone costs about $58 per page, and any Senator can have anything he wants put in the Record by the “leave to print” rule. He attacked the building of dirigjbles, which have cost the United States so far $25,000,000, and there have been 19 fatal accidents to dirigibles all over the world.

This is the second article in a_series in which Prof. William Pielding Ogburn discusses what he considers the 10 big- gest problems facing America. BY WILLIAM FIELDING OGBURN. Research Director, the President’s Committee on Recent Social Trends. (Written for the Associated Press.) ‘The rapid growth of machines is a | characteristic of modern life. Steam, electric and gasoline power applied to machines have produced cities, rail- ;’ands, factories and are changing rural e. The automobile has aided the growth | of suburbs, affected the life in villages, increased the burden of our courts, al- most wrecked the railroads, consolidated churches and schools, rendered nearly negligible the boundary lines of coun- ties, increased touring, affected hotel life, reduced the number of household | servants, . modified home life, changed Sunday recreation, aided criminals | and modified our manners and morals. | Social Changes Lag. But these social changes follow and do not precede the technological changes. There is a delay—a lag. ‘The machine killed millions and maimed tens of millions before pcci- dent prevention and werkmen's ¢om- pensation were developed. The tin can has helped to bring woman suffrage, yet there remains the ideology that ‘woman's place is in the home. The automobile and the telephone have produced the metropolitan region, | which is still, however, without an ade- quate government. The boundaries of counties were laid out in accordance with how far a horse could travel and at a time when wealth was in farms; these boundaries still persist with an antiquated government inadequate to meet their social needs in the age of cities and the automobile. Steam took the household industries and placed them in factories and the family has never made satisfactory ad- justment. It thus comes about that our great social institutions such as industry, government, the family and the church are lagging behind the changes which have taken place in our technological development. The changes in our society are oc- curring at unequal rates of speed. It is as though the parts of a watch were changing, some rapidly and others slowly, and the watch wasn't keeping good time; for society is interrelated like a watch rather than like a chain. A change in industry affects edu- cation, international Telations, th: family, the growth of cities. govern- ment. Speeds Are Unequal. Most of our social problems are due to the fact that the parts of our interrelated civilization are not chang- ing at equal rates of speed. Technology is playing the tune to which most of our social life and in- stitutions are dancing. The situation has become so bad that it has been recommended that all invention and scientific discovery be stopped until the rest of society can catch up. Thus the men whose jobs have been taken away from them by wmachines would like to see all the labor-seving devices stopped. This is the basis of the popularity of technocracy. But the answer is not the stopping of mechanical invention, but the speeding up of social invention—un- employment igswsAnce, city managers, marital clinicy, ®c. The machines are running ahc~d of us. ‘We must either slow up the changes that are coming too fast er speed up those that are coming too slowly. In most cases, especially where machines have already been put to use, there is no chance to undo the vork already done. Nothing is left in such cases but to speed up the sgcial changes. TOMORROW: “Giant Industry and Gov- ernment.” The regulation of a large sphere of human aflairs has beem passing from two great institutions, the family and the church, to two other exrpanding organmiza- tions, industry and the state. An outstand- ing 'problem for the “remainder of this century is, What shall be the relationship of government and industry? = Communis and Fascism are mot the only possibilities. Questions of property and the distribution of wealth are taking mew forms, Prof. Ogburn points out in his mext articie. (Copyright, 1933.) LANDSCAPE ARTIST DIES A. C.

The EXTENSIVE TRAVEL Aid Society Praised for Ac- tivities in Talk by First Lady. “I have been asked if I am going to stay in California and I always answer that T am not,” Mrs. Herbert Hoover, honorary president of the Travelers’ Aid Society, told 150 members of that or- ganization at its annual meeting yes- terday in the Burlington Hotel. I want to sec what the rest of the world is doing and one must travel to do that,” Mrs. Hoover added. “In fact, I think I would make a good “walking delegate” for any organization which deals with travelers.” Mrs. Hoover praised the work of the society. Miss Margaret Rich of New York in- formed the meeting about 2,500,000 wanderers are abroad in the United States today. She said the transient | boy work in Washington is nationally admired ,and will serve as an example for the rest of the country. Mrs. John Jay O'Connor, a director of the National Travelers' Aid Society, also spoke on the problem of transients. Accompanying Mrs. Hoover to the luncheon was her house t Mrs. Wil- bur M.

D - C, DEFEAT OF TARIFF THIS SESSION SEEN Democratic Caucus 161 to 4 Against Crowther Bill, Up Monday. By the Associated Press. Defeat of tariff legislation designed to offset depreciated foreign currencies | g, was indicated today by the solid stand of the Democratic House majority against enactment of such measures this session. This opposition was registered last night at a party caucus of the Demo- crats, in which they woted, 161 to 4, to throw their weight ags the Repub- lican-supported Crowther bill, which comes before the House Monday. ‘The tariff question came to the front in Congress again at the same time as congressional comment indicated plain- ly that Great Britain would have to offer something better in the way of & war debts settlement plan than just a 10-cents-on-the-dollar proposition. The least that is expected by the leaders is some very definite trade con- cessions that will benefit American in- dustry and agriculture. Most of those who have commented on the British plan believe that nation is merely feeling the way before the March discussion with President-elect Roosevelt and point to the fact that so far Great Britain has been moving counter to all the public expressions of the incoming Chief Executive. Test for Both Parties. Both the Democratic and Republican leadership will be put to a test in the House vote Monday on the tariff ques- tions and with several of each party indicating they might quit party ranks, the result of the balloting on the Crowther bill is expected to be close. e Democratic position is that the question is too important to be acted on now and leaders want to leave the way open for Mr. Roosevelt. ‘Having previously pledged themselves to the Crowther bill, which would pro- vide for aul tic tariff increases in import duties against countries off the gold standard, the Republicans have forced a vote on it through a petition tqidlachlrge the Ways and Means Com- mittee from considering it. President Hoover yesterday was rep- resented as feeling that unless steps are taken to slow down imports there will be a “continuous disturbance” in American economy. From Secretary of Commerce Chapin came a declaration that imports from countries off the gold standard had created a ‘very serious emergency,” which in the case of some ccmmcdities calls for immediate action. Democrats Are Blamed. House Democratic leaders, mean- while, were charged by Representative Snell of New York, the Republican leader, with having postponed recovery from the depression by binding their membership to vote against the Crow- ther bill. Discussing with newspapermen the agreement of the Democratic caucus last night, Snell said that if action were not taken to meet the depreciated cur- rencies of foreign countries, domestic markets would be flooded with cheaply made foreign goods. “I am not surprised at the action of the Democratic leaders?” Snell said. “"Of course, they can control their mem- bers by caucus, but it is evident that they did not dare to go into the House for an open vote on the issue Monday, or they would not have resorted to the drastic caucus rule.” Caucus Debate Lengthy. ‘The decision of the Democratic caucus was reached after an hour-and- a-half debate behind closed doors. It required a two-thirds majority of those present to bind the membership of 220. Only those who have made previous commitments to their constituents can be excused. The four who voted in favor of the legislation are Representatives Connery of Massachusetts, Martin of Oregon, Rellly of Wisconsin and Hill of Wash- n. Representative Rainey of Illinois, the Democratic leader, announced that the Democratic position was that tariff was Powell and Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stone werc re-elected for the same period. BENNING CITIZENS HIT OUTSIDE LABOR Association Favors Use of at Least 75 Per Cent of District Workmen. As a means of relieving unemploy- ment here, the Benning Citizens’ As- sociation last night unanimously adopt- ed a resolution protesting against employment of outside labor for work en District buildings. The association went on record as favoring the use of at least 75 per cent local labor on all District building proj- ects. The secretary was instructed to send coples of the resolution to Chair- men Norton and Capper of the House and Senate District Committees, re- spectively, and the District Commis- sioners. Pointing to the dangers incurred by children crossing railroad tracks at Galt place northeast, and citing two fatal accidents there, the association requested the District Commissioners to ask Congress for an appropriation for construction of an underpass. A plan proposed by Senator Cope- land of New York for congressional action to feed undernourished school children was indorsed by the group. It was requested that copies of the resolution be sent to the Board of Education, Senator Copeland and Rep- resentative Norton. Deploring the “condition of some of the alleys in the section, the associa- tion passed a resolution requesting Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, engineer of highways, to make repairs on the alley between Galf place and Grant street and the alley between Grant and Foote streets. The Commissioners were requested to have water_and sewer mains con- structed on Blaine street between Fortieth and Forty-first streets north- east.

He expressed confidence that the Democrats would adhere to the caucus rule. In his statement Secretary Chapin said imports from countries off the gold standard had created a “very serious emergency” which in the case of some commodities calls for immediate and drastic action. The Secretary declined to name the commodities, saying the question was now before Congress and he did not feel he should inject any argument into the situation. He sald a survey made by the Commerce Department showed that while the total volume of imports de- clined, 232 commodities were imported in greater volume in 1932 than during the previous year. ©Of the growing imports, he said, 157 were dutiable and constituted 18 per cent, by value, of the dutiable imports for the year.

The three men were discuss- ing the tragedy that had occurred in the cheap boarding house a few doors from the actor's room. Nothing had been touched. so Damon declared, until the arrival of Kelley and Fordney, who saw, in the dim rays of a small electric lamp standing on a night table, the body of Nona Nason lying across the bed, a knife in her heart. The door offered the only means of escape from the room. The girl's hand, clutching the dagger, pointed to suicide. “I had just passed her door when I heard a groan, hollow and sepulchral,” continued Damon. “I turned. Those flickering shadows seemed a portent of death! Then a long shuddering sigh! Cold sweat stood on my forehead, but I squared my shoulders and entered. She was dead! Poor girl!
