SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance).......2..00.0.--4046! $2.50 A Problem Pressing For Solution . There is frequent mention of the National Labor Reations Act*in the newspapers these days. Most of this news has been the kind of smoke that really indicates the’ presence of a fire. Not the least important item of this type was the recent decision handed down by the United States Supreme Court to the effect that Federal courts have no power to pass on the rightness or wrongness of Wagner Board cerRee tifications of labor unions. The case in question was brought to the court by one national labor unoin’ which felt that a Wagner Board decision had been too sweeping and had disregarded minority rights. The problem of the Wagner Act has cried out for solution for a number of years now. So far, the act’s defenders have done a skillful job of thwarting the desire of the public and of all groups in the country to have it amended. But the knowledge that the wide powers of the Board cannot in many instances be checked by the courts ought to make the need for amendment to limit that power seem even more urgent to those most concerned. Coupled with this recent news event come continued revelations made during the congressional investigation of the Board itself that tend to show that the body with these extremely broad powers does not always employ them re NIY {f, _ THE HEAT IS O aN ng . ‘ait ~ ll em ya NATIONNY.® 7 RELAIS.

They will be Bartlett and Robertson, duo-pianists, January 16, and Nelson Eddy, baritone of concert, screen, and radio fame, February 10. Both will be in Memorial auditorium. ; , ‘Eddy’s concert follows his justreleased motion picyrre “Balelika’’ and will feapure several songs from the picture. The handsome bariton’s appearance on the stage of Memorial auditorium. comes after five years’ absence. He was on the original Sacramento Music Series in 1935 and since then has been heard and applauded by opera goers, concert fans, movie and radio fans throughout. the world. Eddy was born in Rhode Island, June 29. Both . his father and mother were’ excellent singers, and young Nelson made his vocal debut early, as. boy soprano for Grace and All Saints churches in Providence. He was educated in the grammar school at Rhode Island and the remainder of his education was obtained in night school and from correspondence courses. His first job was as a telephone operator in Mot Iron Works. Later he started in the art department of the Philadelphia Press. For five years he was reporter, copy reader, later .writing advertising copy. ' He learned operatic arias from the phonograph. His first teacher was David Bispham; and he was also taught by William Villonat and Dr. Edouara Providence, be made to encircle ‘the globe and enlist the ardent support of wisely. : : Those revelatoins—of bickering among Board members, of bias evidenced by Board representatives, of wide powers assumed or ursurped by the Board—point, of course, partly to an unsound attitude on the part of the Wagner Boaid itself. But far more significantly they throw the spotlight on the flaws, omissions and loose constfuctions of the act _ itself which make this situation possible. all right minded people, irrespective of border, breed and birth. _ The leader of a great nation and:the head of a great religious order have clasped hands across the sea, in the hope that by co-operative service they may begin the task of freeing mankind from the incubus of war and bringing peace to a troubled world. ‘That this will be one of the most stupendous tasks undettaken since history began, cannot be denied; but who Lippe.

In the field of employee-employer relations, so important both to recovery and national defense. Congress can best serve this end by amending the Wagner Act along lines that will mean a fair deal for management as well as labor. This action would mark a substantial contribution to real employer-employee harmony. That congress will follow this line is a consummation devoutely to be wished by all real friends of labor, of industry, of the consuming public, and of congress itself. The “Catalyzers” of America vi Everything has a cause, science tells us. And the more . Important the result, the more important it is to find out what caused it: Because the results achieved in this country, both from a material and a social point of view, are so vitally important to all of us who live in America, we may well ponder some recent remarks by H. W. Prentis, Jr., newly-elected president of the National Association of Manufacturers and president of Armstrong Cork Company. me The dictionary defines the word ‘‘catalyzer’’ as follows: “A chemical body which, by its presence. is capable of inducing chemical changes in other bodies while remaining unchanged itself.”’ ___Mr. Prentis took this chemical term and applied it more broadly to show that there are certain “catalyzers”’ in America and other lands where freedom prevails that are necessary to progress ‘and that do not exist in other less fortunate countries. Here are the five “‘catalyzers’’ he listed: ’ 1. The value that is given to human personality. 2. The responsibility which willingly has been assumed by individuals. 3. The opportunity that has been allowed for the init: lative of individuals to help others as well as the source of the -4. A republican form of government. 5. Private free enterprise. Whether one. chooses to call these basic institutions of our American way of life and thought “‘catalyzers” or by that these five principles be maintained and encouraged.

This is part of the new’method the Army is employing to encourage enlistments. ‘The program includes magazine advertisements paid for by commercial sponsors “in the interest of national defense,’’ others paid for by the Army itself for many newspapers, bill boards and posters, and possibly transscribed radio programs. Many young men accepted for the Air Service are--being transported from their place of enlistment to the first station of duty in army. bombers. The demand of newly enlisted men for this method of transportation. far exceeds the supply of planes available for this purpose and new recruits are forced to draw lots for the privilege. : There are now 44 recruiting stations and 408 substations located in cities all over the country. ‘This is ig more than were set up on October-2, 1939.

Of this famous duo, Sigmund Spaeth in the Literary ‘Digest, says: “It may be doubted whether any other two piano team has ever achieved the perfect unanimity of Barlett and Robertson.

Yes, time worn barricrs must be swept away, differences forgotten as the-war weary sons of men gather together under one shining banner. to restore order to a chaotic world and inaugurate an era of harmony, understanding and good will among men. A dream whose fulfillment lies hidden in the far, dim mists of coming years? That may be true; but those in whose hearts the magic of yule-tide lingers, know that.dreams do come true and that with vision, courage and the will to do, miracles are performed—when hope leads the way. : I wonder if there were any Californians who failed to shout, ‘“‘Hurrah!’’ when informed that San Francisco had scored another victory and would be enabled to reopen the fair on Treasure Island, May next, 1940.

A joint Senate-House committee, after a 15,000-mile tour of defense units in this country and the Panama Canal Zone, is said to disagree with War Department experts on what things are necessary for the adequate national defense. \ Committee members recommend a step up of production in the new semi-automatic rifle, modernization of field artillery, expansion of airports and troop training: areas, and a greater protection of cities from possible air attacks.
