An odd explanation for this circum- stance was advanced by Royal L.

ALTHOUGH the American people have repeatedly elected ex-soldiers to the presidency, only one President is buried in Arlington National Ceme- tery and he never wore the unform of a soldier. William Howard Taft alone of the Chief Executives is buried there. While the cemetery is reserved for #oldiers. sailors and Marines and their | wives, the former President and Chief Justice earned the right by having been both Secretary of War and com- mander in chief while President. * ok ok x HOMELY VIRTUE. ELABORATE and magnificent tradi- tions have been built around sev- eral of Washington's famed eating | places. Most of them maintain & high degree of formality in the qual- ity of their service and their clientele. Behind this grandeur, however, often may be found a trace of the more homely virtues that contributed to the | original success of the particular in- stitution. We thought we found a trace of it at Harvey's the other night when we looked over the ragged reservation book kept by .a colored man with a | benevolent welcome. On the ruled pages of his book he | | had sections classified for name, time and “pussons.” There were four *“pussons” in our party, we discovered. * ok ¥ % CHIP HAULER. f[HESE early May mornings have been chilly.

AMENDMENT HUNT IS STARTED, Officials Search for Ways to Harmonize Plans With Court Ruling. By the Associated Pres A. A. A. officials searched today for | amendments to bolster the farm ad- justment act after both President Roosevelt and Secretary Wallace let it ; be known they regarded the Supreme Court’s N. R. A. decision as a grave threat to Federal activities in the field of agriculture, Even as A A A attorneys sought new legislative props which Wallace admitted might not prove “completely | adequate,” members of the Senate Agriculture Committee moved to trim | additional powers which the Secretary had requested prior to the court’s ruling. Licensing Powers. Chairman Smith predicted that all | | authority to license processors and | handlers of farm products would be | wiped out of A. A. A. legislation which has been before his committee for | some time. Smith never has been wholly in accord with the licensing | proposal. | Another member of the committee, Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho, | said in a radio address that the license | features and marketing agreements of |A. A. A will be restricted to inter- | state transactions in line with the | N. R. A. opinion. | After a long conference with Mr. | Rosevelt yesterday, Secretary Wallace told newspaper men the issue raised by the decision was “whether the Federal GGovernment can use its power to correct grave social and economic injustices.” Calls for “Thorough Search.” “We will do everything we can through a search for amendments to | remedy the social injustices,” he said. | |“It may be that these may not be | | completely adequate.” | The latter remark was construed by some observers as another indication that a constitutional amendment to | give the Government clear powers | over agriculture and related industries might be proposed. | ‘ Wallace expressed doubt that the [ A. A. A. would have to meet a final | court test before Fall. He went ahead | signing milk licenses and approved & | new marketing agreement. | | | | WooDWARD O™ UI™F anp O Sreeevs Metal Wardrobe Taking his time, he leisurely selected | the trimmings and chips left beneath the stands by the carpenters.

These A.F.OF L. SEEKS TOREVIVEN.R A, Constitutional Amendment Also Advocated by Labor Leaders. By the Associated Press. 3 Immediate revival of N. R. A. be- came the American Federation of Labor’s first objective today. General sentiment among federa- tion leaders also favored a constitu- tional amendment to permit Federal regulation of industry. Since such an amendment might be slow in the | making, leaders said some immediate prop for the wage structure was neces- | sary. In the face of this sentiment, the | United Mine Workers' Journal pub- | lished an editorial today taking the “labor movement” itself to task on | the ground it did not take full ad- | vantage of its organizing opportunities. ‘ “Organized labor is the only re- maining hope for labor in this coun- | try,” the official publication of the mine union said editorially. Labor Declared to Blame. “It is unfortunate that labor is not | 100 per cent prganized, but no one is | to blame except organized labor itself. The opportunity to effect a complete organization was presented to l-bor,; but the labor movement did not take | advaniage of the opportunity, with the | result that there remains in the United | States a vast pool of unorganized men | and women who should have been brought into their unions. * * “A strong, virile, sensible labor union can take care of itself and the | welfare of its members, and, in the | absence of Federal protection, this is | the only protection the worker has | against the rapacity and greed of | those employers who believe that la- | bor ls"mlde only for exploitation pur- As their answer to N.
