Willis Thornton Says
; ‘At a time when Congress, father of the National
. Labor Relations Board, is gravely «ifting complainis
of he neighbors about its unruly ofispring, the
- poard gets a broad wink and a reussuring pat on the
| Back from the U. S. Supreme Court. Grandpa, 2P~
_ parenuy, doesn’t give a hoot about what the neigh
. bors are saying.
~ The Supreme Court decided that the Labor Board
" had attained the age of reason and that its action
| weren't subject to review by the courts, . Aecord
é”mg to its rulngs, the N. L. R. B, is in itself a
. supreme court, after a fashion—a body judicially
?{ geli-sufficient. Congress made it that way, the hizh
_court said, and if Congress doesn’t like ~its oOwn
~ pandiwork, well— : |
. Specifically, the Supreme Court held that no fed-.
_ eral court may review a board elcction order or &
t surd certification of a union as a collective bar
i;%mms agent—at least not until a final ruling has
handed dowpn by the board. |
.If there was any doubt about Congress revising
the Wagner Labor Act during the present session,
_there can be very little now. It is hardly likely
that Congress medLi, in the first place, to create a
*fi;hody with us much power as has been sanctioned
Eim the N.L.R.B. Certainly, the Supreme Court
~ decision ‘will play an important part in any con
_ sideration of amendments to the Wagner Act.
I ¥or some time‘the N.L.R.B, has been the tar
~ get of criticism by elements in whose interest it was
_established. Employers have always felt = jittery
. about it, and both the C. 1.0. and the A, F. of L.
agree that the Wagner Act should be changed, al
though they have somewhat different ideas on what
- changes should be made, The current House In
. yestigation of the N.L.R.B. wag an outgrowth of
these eriticisms.
Early in the investigation, it developed that the
exccutives of ‘the N.L.R.B. were not all one big
happy family. Internal rivalries, schisms, and nc
~ cusations interfered with the work of the board.
;Dr. William Leiserson, latest member of the throe
_man board, found plenty wrong with the set-1p
%mn he took office last summer. It appeared more
. certain as the investigation proceeded that changes
~were needed in the law and that Congress wouid
~ make those changes. The Supreme Court decis
‘ jon simply amprifies these sentiments.
. If the U. S 4 Supreme Court interprets the board’c
powers to be as inclusive as the decision indicates,
gthen the mistake must be rectified by Congress, 0
- group of three men should have that much power.
‘F The deccision demonstrates the requirement for a
xi?"olfl congressional review of the entire labor act.
gme House committee’s investigation will doubtless
‘)roduce new possibilities for revicion, Whatever
is done finally to the act should be done with a view
toward serving the best interests of labor and em
_ployer alike.
‘W‘!th a new and arduous campaign year dawning,
) Republican party set about seriously straight
ening up its accounts and deficits left over from the
1936 campaign. |
~ According to a statement filed with Congress,
$655,000 was still outstanding on the 1936 obligati™ |
as of December 1. During the last vear, the GOP‘
eollected ,$1,092,037, of which $300,000 has been ear- .
marked for debt retirement. Another $200,000 has
been pledged for this purpose. The pledgad
amounts, together With the earmarked fund, will
jery nearly wipe out the Republican debt.
{lt will be better to start off the 1940 campaign
fi a clean slate. There will be a lot of talk abot
budget-balancing. It will look much better if .the
GOP can point proudly to its own books before sug
estipg that the United States balance is budge.

A DEGENERATE AND A CRIMINAL
Inconceivable as it may seem, yet never
theless true, the announcement that Herr
Himmler, chief of the German police, has
shocked the sensibilities of all self-respect
ing, law abiding and purity of virtue be
lievers by urging the German womep to
practice lewdness in order to produce an
increasing population for war purposes in
the future.
While the German men have been de
prived of their freedom and held in the
trenches, this military official is now will
ing to destroy the virtue of these women
and raise a generation without any trace
of their ancestry,
The German women are, as a whole, as
pure and regard the sanctity of their vir
tue as much so as any women in the world.
Such brutes as Himmler should be punish
ed by a death sentence and that sentence
made the most trying and excruciating
permitted by the laws of the nation. |
WHAT THE GERMANS PROPOSE
TO DO
The outspoken threat by the higher-ups
in the German government of what Ger
many proposes to do in the early spring
does not seem to be taken seriously by the
people of Great Britain. The Germans are
giving out statements freely as to their in
tended or present preparations for a clean
|sweep of the British and French forces
'when the proper time arrives. These
threats appear to be taken with a grain of
salt by the allies, but at long distance, we
are of the opinion that there is some
“meat” in their threats. To continue the
war indefinitely, is not to the interest of
Germany, but every delay of actual en
gagements augurs danger for them. The
Germans are too smart to get caught in a
net, and when the British forget them
selves farenough to fail to give credit to
the Germans for their shrewdness, they
are injuring their own interests.
The “withering air offensive” threaten
ed by the Germans for the early spring
will, no doubt, be timed, and unless the
allies are prepared for it, there is bound
to be trouble for them. While in official
quarters of the British forces, the threat
is interpreted as “bluff and bluster”, and
if Germany intended such a move, it would
be kept a secret. In that belief, we are in
clined to disagree with the officials of the
allies It is only one of Hitler’s tricks set
up to trap them, and, when least expected,
the German airplanes will be carrying out
the threat. :
It is said, on good authority, that the
British and French are prepared to match
plane for plane and bomb for homb when
ever they attempt the raid, all of which
may be true, but such an attack by the
Germans is bound to prove disastrous to
the allies. Many of the English cities and
industrial centers are said to be guarded
by an adequate aircraft defense which
by the spring will be greatly increased in
power. Such a condition, we hope is true,
but the belief that such propaganda for
home consumption of the German people
may be the proper diagnosis, but we can
not help but believe that th, event will
turn out disastrouly for the British and
mark a turning point in the war.
LACK OF PARKING SPACE
The lack of parking space his hindered
progress insofar as relates to skyscraper
buildings. When the Empire State build
ing in New York was completed and oc
cupied, the first problem of importance
met with by owners and renters of the of
fices in the building was parking space
for automobiles owned by the occupants
of the building. Under present conditions,
it is alleged that people employed in the
various offices in this mammoth building
are unable to secure parking space for
their cars nearer than miles away. This
condition has caused builders of sky
scrapers to consider sites for such build
;ings accessible to ample parking space for
their tenants. In the big cities, especially
in New York, it is said that there will be
no more “Empire” buildings erected for
the reason that convenient parking space
is impossible.
} In these modern times, with the inven
tion of the elevator, the height of sky
scrapers makes little difference, but the
all important problem to solve is sufficient
parking space for the accommodation of
the occupants of the buildings. If such
buildings are to be used, it is of necessity
that ample provision be made for park
ing purposes. Just what the solution will
be for this evil has not been determined,
but apt as not some genius will come along
and solve the nusiance just as easily as
did the elevator which enables builders to
build as many stories as may be in de
mand.
SEEING AMERICA FIRST
The war and other unsettled conditions
in the European countries, besides the re
strictions placed on tourists by this gov
ernment has increased sight-seeing in
America, at least tenfold. While some of
this travel, of course, is going to Califor
nia, a majority of the tourists are visiting
Florida. A recent traffic survey of four of
the major highway gateways leading into
Florida showed that an average of twelve
pleasure automobiles entered the state
every minute during a daylight period of
eight hours. The count showed 5,760 cars.
These cars averaged three passengers. It
is estimated under this amount of travel
that the-number of cars in Florida this
season will reach practically a million, in
cluding the Florida owned automobiles.
The number of tourists visiting in Flor
ida this season is estimated to be more than
a million. Many of these people hereto
fore have spenf.their 'time in European

| BY HUGH ROWE I
e e e e e .
The weather yesterday was
a reminder of the winters of
yester-years when snow and
sleet remained on the ground
for weeks at a time.
‘We did not venture out of our
home, but we saw a great many
pedestriang slippin’ and a slidin’
on the sidewalks, In fact the sleet
made ‘“footin” dangerous and only
those who are accustomed to
skating are immune to falling and
even the skater sometimes takes
a fall. We are hoping that the
ice will soon disappear and not
return this winter. We believe
that we are in accord with every
one on that proposition. We pre
fer cold weuather to the ‘warmer
weather, but with ice, sleet and
snow we are one hundred percent
opposed to such weather.

i Snow is not so bad. It is
good for children to play in, if
they are not permitted to re
main exposed indefinitely, but
' a short time, playing snowball
. is good and healthy for them.
Snow and cream used to be a
popular dish with children, Rak
ing up boxes of snow and robbing
the milk jars of cream, children
held great parties, often, however,
many of them would suffer from
croup and when they began to
cough their mothers knew exactly
what they had been doing and then
the children were “dosed,” ‘which
destroyed all the pleasure they
had had irn making and eating
snowbull ice cream. Thus, the
way of the transgressor is hard,
not only for the children. but for
the grown-ups.
The officials and those con
nected with the Georgia Pow

job yesterday in restoring and
keeping the service intact.
The wires were heavily laden
with ice and As fast as a wire was
repaired another break would oc

time for these faithful employes,
