ORT COVINGTON SUN VOL. LI. FT. COVINGTON. N. ¥., THURSDAY. MAY 9. 1935. NO. 3. News Review of Current Events the World Over Senate Committee Defies President and Richberg on NRA Extension—Roosevelt Lists \Must\ Bills and Business Opposes Them, By EDWARD W. PICKARD ©, Western Newspaper Union. D ISREGARDING the wishes of Pres- ident Roosevelt, the finance com- mittee of the senate adopted and re- ported for passage a simple re^lution continuing the nation- al recovery act until April 1, 1936, and at the same time making these provisions: 1. No price fixing shall be permitted or sanctioned in codes, except in those re- lating to mineral or natural resources which now have price fixing provisions. 2. No trade en- gaged in intrastate commerce shall be eligible for a code. 3. The President is given specified time in which to review present codes to carry out the conditions laid down in the first two exceptions to the reso- lution. Both President Roosevelt and Don- ald Richberg, head of the NRA, had urged the passage of a new two year NRA bill which would set up a stricter dictatorship over business and indus- try. The senate finance committee, however, would not consent to this and Instead passed the resolution, which -was drawn up by Senator Clark of Missouri and approved by Chairman Pat Harrison. Twelve senators first called at the White House and the President seemed willing to accept the •continuing resolution until Mr. Rich- iberg came In and protested urgently; -whereupon Mr. Roosevelt turned it down. The committee then took the action noted by a vote of 16 to 3, de- fying both the President and Rich- Jberg. Senator Harrison said he had no <doubt the senate would adopt the res- olution with little debate. H IGH optimism marked the \fireside chat\ which President Roosevelt delivered over the radio to the people of America, which people, he said, are, as a whole, \feeling a lot better—a lot more cheerful than for many, many years.\ He asserted we are •already on the unmis- takable march toward recovery, and told how he means to promote the return to normal conditions wit h hi s •works relief program. He promised to put to •work three and a half million persons now on the relief rolls, and to press for en- actment of legislation he considers nec- essary for carrying on the New Deal. Only once did Mr. Roosevelt allude to such critics of his administration as Senator Long, Father Coughlin and •Governor Talmadge. He said: •'The overwhelming majority of peo- ple in this country know how to sift the wheat from the chaff in what they hear and what they read. They know that the process of the constructive re- building of America cannot be done in a day or a year, but that it is being done in spite of a few who seek to con- fuse them and to profit by their con- fusion.\ These six \fundamental principles,\ said the President, must guide the work relief program: Projects must be useful, most of the money must go for labor, \a considerable proportion of the costs\ must be returned to toe treasury, only those projects which can •employ persons on relief will be ap- proved, and projects will be approved in a given area in proportion to the unemployed in that area. L EGISLATION which the President said, In his radio talk, should be enacted by congress immediately in- cluded the old age and unemployments insurance bill, the NRA extension bill, the public utility holding company bill, the transportation control bill, and the banking bill. Here he comes into conflict again with the views of business leaders of the country. The National Association of Manufacturers has just issued its economic analysis of conditions, which says recovery Is \within our grasp\ and that the nation is closer to break- ing the back of the depression than at any time for years, but asks that, in order to stimulate business, the ad- ministration and congress temporarily shelve as \disturbing\ such legislation as unemployment insurance, the omni- bus banking bill, the utility holdtng company bill, the 30-hour work week, the Wagner labor disputes bill, the Ouf- fey bituminous coal measure and pro- posed changes in railrond laws. Of tied-up capHul, the analysis laid this: \Surveys lndicute that close to 000,000,000 in expenditures, Which would give employment to 4,000,fJOO men for two years, Is pent up In the Jield of factory expansion, reuovut'on utul rehabilitation alone. \The release of tlUs flow of private capital by removing political um*er ttdtitu's would dwarf the billions ap- propriated by congress for relief ami make unnecessary the expenditure of much of the taxpayers' money.\ This document was given out as the members of the United States Cham- ber of Commerce were gathering in Washington for their twenty-third an- nual convention, and naturally their speakers endorsed it and attacked much of the proposed legislation men- tioned as unwarranted intrusion of the government into business. Before it adjourned the chamber adopted resolutions condemning aboli- tion of utility holding companies, op- posing the banking bill, asking for re- laxation and extension of the NRA nstead of the administration bill, and postponing \for further study\ the question of social security. Henry I. Harriman, who has been president of the organization for three years, retired from that office in favor of Harper Sibley of Rochester, N. I. LJOW the New Dealers propose to *• •*• redistribute wealth by double tax- ation of large estates Is revealed by Secretary of the Treasury Morgentnau in a letter to Senator Pat Harrison, chair- man of the senate fi nance committee. Mr Morgenthau outlines a plan of Imposing in heritanee taxes and also retaining the ex- isting estate taxes, as- '; serting this is in line with \our fundamental objectives.\ That this would result in the dissolution ot large properties, the secre- tary recognizes, for he says: \To prevent the necessity of hasty liquidation of large properties in order to pay the tax, it might be provided that inheritance taxes be .payable in a convenient number of installments.\ The plan as outlined by Mr. Morgen- thau is to impose graduated inheritance taxes on estates, with rates following those of the present income tax rates, which approximate 60 per cent on in- comes of a million dollars or more. The present estate taxes have a max- imum of 60 per cent over ten million dollars. Thus there would first be a tax of 60 per cent upon the estate or gift, and then another tax of 60 per cent to be paid by those inheriting or re- ceiving it. This would amount to a combined rate of 85 per cent on an estate of one hundred million dollars. If all this money wen* handed out to the poorer people, eveu Huey Long might be satisfied. S ECRETARY ICKES' Department of the Interior has now been elevated to the level of the State, Treasury and Agriculture departments, for congress has granted one of Harold's dearest wishes and given him an undersecre- tary, whose salary is to be $10,000 a year. This was a senate amendment to the Interior department appropriation bill, and was accepted by the house, 243 to 92, only after considerable pres- sure had been applied by the adminis- tration. Many of the house Democrats have asserted that Mr. Ickes snubbed them, and they would have liked noth- ing better than to administer a rebuke to him by defeating the amendment, but the party leaders drove them into line. A RIZONA'S victory over the govern- ment in the Parker dam case ruled on by the Supreme court alarmed the New Dealers for the safety of some of their other big projects of the same nature. The court decided that Secretary Ickes, as public works ad- ministrator, was without authority to dam navigable rivers unless specifically ordered by congress and that the law creating the PWA had not listed any such specific projects as the Parker dam. The same applies to many huge reclamation projects that have received PWA funds, and It is not unlikely that suits will be brought to stop some of them. Mr. Ickes said congress would be asked to authorize specifically the construction of the Parker dam. F EDERAL Judges Woodward, Wil- kerson and Lindley of Chicago are not going to be impeached, for the house subcommittee investigating equity and bankruptcy receiverships and practices reported the evidence taken did not warrant such action. The report said that In several in- stances \conduct prejudicial to the dignity of the federal judiciary\ was disclosed, but that substantial Improve- ments had been made both in the rules of the court and in the law ap- plicable to the administrator of re- ceiverships and bankruptcy litigation. /CHAIRMAN JOHN J. M'SWAIN of *—' the. house military affairs commit- tee sent to the President a letter of apology for disclosure of defense plans outlined In execeutive sessions of the committee, and assumed full responsi- bility for \the unfortunate Incident.\ MoSwaln was rebuked by letter from the President for the publication in a house document of possible defense plans against Canada and British and French Islands in the Atlantic and the Caribbean loathe event of war. Brig. Gens. F. M. Andrews and Charles B. Kllbourno had outlined the program before a secret meeting of the com- mittee. F OREIGN MINISTER PIERRE LA- VAL of France and Ambassador Potemkin of Russia finally fixed up the mutual assistance pact between the two countries in a way acceptable to both and it was signed in Paris. M. Laval then prepared to leave for Moscow, planning to stop in Warsaw en route. It would seem that Laval had his way with the treaty, for It subordi- nates military action of the two powers to the procedure of the League of Na- tions, to provisions of the Locarno pact and also to the Franco-Polish alli- ance. All of that probably would keep France out of war even if Russia were attacked. In Paris it was taken for granted that a secret military conven- tion, supplementing the pact, would soon be signed, fixing the methods of mutual assistance. S ETTING a new transcontinental rec- ord for transport ships, a TWA test plane flew from Burbank, ,Calif., to New York in 11 hours and 5 minutes. What Is more important, for all but about one hundred miles it was con- trolled by a robot pilot. D. W. Tom- linson, the pilot, was accompanied by Harold Snead, an expert on radio beam flying, and Peter Redpath, navigation engineer. Tomlinson had the controls for only three brief intervals—over the San Bernardino range, at Durango, Colo., where a snowstorm was encoun tered, and at the landing at Floyd Ben- nett field. The plane reached its great- est cruising speed of 262 miles an hour over the Allegheny mountains. '\TpEXANS are going to have the op- ••• portunity of deciding whether their state shall remain dry or fall into line with most other states and repeal the prohibition law. The legislature has voted to submit the question to popula: action. Under the resolution adopted thi vote would be held next August 24. Regulation would be left to the legis- lature and at the general election in 1936, a vote would be taken on a man- datory state monopoly over sales of hard liquor. Local option would be preserved under both straight repeal and the monopoly under the straigh repeal plan, which also would bar thi return of the open saloon. /GERMANY'S latest breach of th< vJ treaty of Versailles, the buildin, of submarines, Is stirring up a lot o< angry talk in Great Britain, Franc* and Italy. The English are especiall; disturbed, for they remember only to< vividly how near the Germans eam< to starving them during the war bj the destruction of shipping by the un- dersea boats. Anglo-German conversa- tions on naval restriction were tc have been held in London the seeon< week in May, and these may now b< called off or at least postponed. The French are less vexed because they think the development may force a showdown on the whole status of th< German navy and Hitler's demand foi at least 35 per cent of the British ton nage and approximate parity with that of France. Naval experts ii Paris said the disclosure might \we! prove of inestimable benefit for mill tary France In awakening naval Bri- tain to the dangers of Hitler's arma- ments policy.\ Information obtained by the powers as that Germany already had under construction a number of 250-ton sub marines and planned a large fleet of them. Spokesmen for the German gov- eminent denied that any were being built yet, but at the same time ai mitted that submarines were beinj \considered\ In connection with plans for rebuilding the navy. H AVING listened to Senator Lonf of Louisiana and other orators who do not like the administration anc its New Deal and also have little lov for the G. O. P., th National Farmers'Ho] Iday association, _ session at Des Moinei Iowa, decided that third national politic party should b formed. Milo Reno, nationa president of the asso k N ^HH elation, had a live ft. ^£JH| encounter with a grou *' ^^^^^ m O f alleged Communist Milo Reno during a business se sion. They sought adoption of a reso lution calling for legislation for \re lief without debts,\ \production credi without strings,\ and Immediate re peal of the AAA. Reno denounce them as Wall Street racketeers an henchmen of Soviet Russia. \You can't talk. You can't argue Don't try to get the floor. I'm runnin; this meeting,\ Reno said. \Sit dow: and shut up. Get out before we ge really mad.\ R EPUBLICANS of nine midweste states who met at Excels! Springs, Mo., decided that the \gra roots\ conference of leaders of tl party should be held in Springfield, I the date to be flxed later, though probably will be early in June. T purpose of this gathering will be th rejuvenation of the party and the launching of a campaign to restore popular government. P OLICE of Havana apparently ai well on the way to solution of the mystery of the fire which destroyed the Ward liner Morro Castle and othei recent marine disasters. They have rested three men, all natives of Cat: Ian province in Spain, and say thi they found on their persons letters instruction concerning the destructic of the steamship Magallanes of tl Spanish line, which was soon due Havana. The documents, according the authorities, ordered the accused \take necessary action to precipitate disaster similar to that of the Mo: Castle.\ The police say the prisonej are well-known anarchists. ,., Scenes and Persons in the Current News Dental Hygiene 88 f The Road to Health * By DR.

About 200 families will make the journey, to- gether with approximately 400 CCC workers who have volunteered for this project. One group left May 1, and another is scheduled to start about May 15 on the journey. These modern pioneers will make the journey from San Fran- cisco by government transport.

Let us see what causes it, and how infects other parts of the system. When a new tooth erupts or \eomea 1\ in childhood, it bursts through the IUCOUS membrane from which it orig- inated. The union of the mucous mem- brane to tooth structure Is always, ifter the eruption of the tooth, im- perfect and capable of admitting in- fection. This union of tooth and gum is therefore of vital interest and is called the gingival crevice or gum marginal crevice. It Is much like the junction of the finger nail and skin and has a similar free margin. Its total length is about thirty inches around all the teeth. It Is protected externally ty a tough \pavement\ or apithelium, >ut contains almost no epithelial (outer ikin) protection at its point of union ith the tooth structure. It will therefore be seen that micro- organisms growing on the tooth's sur- face may readily pass into the delicate openings in the bottom of the crevice, thus gaining direct access to venules and perivascular lymph spaces In these structures, with nothing to hinder their transfer to deeper tissues by the lymph and blood streams. This process Is In the majority of Individuals greatly; aided by the formation of calcolus (tartar) or the root surface at the gum margin. The total of masticatory pressure amounts to about one ton per day, ex- pended by the average individual. This great force depresses the tooth Into its socket about one-sixtieth of an inch on an average and the elasticity of the tissues causes a rebound. The tooth therefore acts as a piston during masti- cation, and where the micro-organisms lodge under the tartar and gold crowns, they are pumped directly into the un- protected blood vessels at the bottom of the crevice. ' If pyorrhea has progressed long enough to produce pockets around the teeth of only one-eighth of an inch; (a very shallow pocket) we thus have an ulcerating surface of three and one- quarter square Indies. If pyorrhea has progressed long enough to produce pockets around the teeth of an average depth of one-quarter of an inch we have an ulcerating surface of seven, and one-half square inches. The enamel of all teeth is naturally more or less rough. Mucous plaques stick to it affording lodgment for masses of living bacteria. By being pumped directly into the blood stream they are always poisoning the system. Get into your mind this simple idea that bacteria around a tooth are not in a stagnant pocket but in a high-pres- sure pumping system. Then you will comprehend their danger. * * • ARE ALL CYLINDERS HITTING? Howard R. Tolley, who has been ap- pointed chief economist of the De- partment of Agriculture, in his most recent photograph.

A RE all your cylinders hitting, or are you limping along on a few of them? Dr. Irving Fisher of Yale has stated tbat there are at all times over 3,500,- 000 people in this country who are se- riously ill. If three out of each hun- dred have the entire engine laid op for repairs, how many more are miss- ing on one or more cylinders? Many of our great authorities say that there is not any one thing that is more im- portant than the hygiene of the mouth. It is obvious, therefore, that hygiene of the mouth will prevent much of the sickness. Many pure food laws have wisely been passed in the interest of the general public. The most important matter, however, oral hygiene, has been com- pletely neglected. What is the use of • insuring pure food if it is mixed with 1 millions of the germs of putrefaction i during mastication? It is surely, and I just as thoroughly, loaded with poi- I sons as if• it has been allowed to spoil ' before eating. i In normal, healthy mouths are found ! many disease-producing germs such as j those of tuberculosis, diphtheria, influ- i enza, pneumonia and several varieties I of the streptococcus and staphylococeus (the pus-producing germs). To the first named of the series are due many of the diseases of school children, while to the latter are due many of the ills of middle life. Many times the first symptoms are- hard to define. It may be that the heart action is slightly altered so that the extremities, being deprived of their full blood supply, become cold and bathed in perspiration. Digestion becomes slow and difficult, and may be accompanied by the for- mation of gas which distends the stom- ach and intestines, causing them to press upward against the diaphram, thus embarrassing the lungs. The bowels become constipated and the se- cretion of the urine is altered in quan- tity. * The mouth at this stage is the only organ of the body that will act as aa Indicator. There may be a cavity or two filled with decaying food. The X- ray may show a dead tooth or two, or it may be the gums are slightly anroHea or luflaro^l, or careful exploration may ghow a few pyorrhea pockets. If neglected, this condition is bound to change for a worse condition until one or more cylinders are missing or ; the entire engiDe 1» laid u? for r?i»airsb I i£, Western Newspaper Cn^n, —*I ^ I
