BORAH UK NEW
CHILD LABOR BAN
Offers Revised Amendment
Lowering Age Limit
From 18 to 14.
Senate was confronted today
with a proposal to push for a new
constitutional amendment to do away
with child labor.
Offered yesterday by Senator Borah,
Republican, of Idaho, the amendment
would empower Congress "to limit,
regulate and prohibit the labor of
persons under 14 years of age.”
Present Age Limit 18.
The proposed amendment already
before the States puts the age limit at
18, and this, it has been contended, is
so high as to set up a barrier against
ratification. It has been pending 13
years.
Borah’s action followed recommen
dation by Senator Wheeler. Democrat,
of Montana for legislation on child
labor along the lines of the Cooper
Hawes act regulating goods produced
by convict labor.
Both Borah and Wheeler are oppos
ing President Roosevelt’s court pro
gram, contending it is the wrong way
to approach social reforms.
Only Change Is in Age.
The Borah amendment is the old
child labor amendment simply with
the age change. It reads:
Section 1. The Congress shall have
the power to limit, regulate and pro
hibit the labor of persons under 14
years of age.
Section 2 The power of the several
States is unimpaired by this article
except that the operation of State laws
•should be suspended to the extent
necessary to give effect to legislation
enacted by the Congress."
Prefers Jail to Fine.
NEW YORK (JP).—Giacomo Longo,
53, went to jail when he said he did
not have $10 to pay a fine for building
a shack without a permit. When his
term was up police returned his over
coat to him, together with $230 in cash
and $2,500 in saving receipts.
He had sewn his wealth in the lining
of the coat.

Kuhn’s telegram to Chairman O’Con
nor of the House Rules Committee
was released last night at the New
York headquarters of the German
American Bund, of which he is na
tional chairman. It follows:
“In view of the recent statements by
Representative Samuel Dlckstetn of
New York that the German-American
Bund, of which I am the head, is a
pro-Nad organisation seeking to under
mine the government of the United
States, I, as an American cltlsen, ask
for a full investigation of our activities
in order to stop the ridiculous accusa
tions made by Mr. Dlckstetn in the
newspapers once and forever.’’
Kuhn declared in an interview that
Dicksteln was “on the same team” with
Mayor F. H. La Guardia, whose re
cent attacks on Relclufuehrer Hitler
caused an international stir.
"La Guardia is a disgrace to the
city of New York, a man who in his
attack on Hitler attempts to create
hate and creates danger of war,” Kuhn
said.
80,000 Ununiformed.
He contended his 20,000 uniformed
followers were merely "ushers,” who
maintain order at meetings of the
Bund. There were 80,000 more, he
said, without uniforms.

Denying that they took orders from
Hitler or that they were anti-Semitic,
he declared their principal aim was to
preserve American Institutions from
the theories of Karl Marx.
"It’s too bad so many Marxists seem
to be Jews,’’ he said.
Talk of secret military drills was de
scribed by Kuhn as "pure bunk,’’ He
added:
"As for Representative Dickstein's
charge that I advised members to join
their National Guards to learn how to
fight for Hitler—that’s bunk, too. I
would like our men to join, of course.

as executors, protested yesterday to

deficiency assessed against the estate

and In placing the value of Interest
in a note at $2,154.
They said the value of the realty
was $112,310, while the note Interest
was valueless at the time of Beh«
rend's death.
Attempts to combat the plague of
red snails in the province of Como,
Italy, having failed, millions of the
molluscs are devouring practically all
flowers, fruit and leaves.

Boake Carter speaking:
"Luckies don’t catch your throat-they*re
easy and smooth
"The thing 1 prize most is my repu
tation for saying what I think,
Here’s what I sincerely think about
smoking—it’s one of the greatest
pleasures in the world, but it can be
utterly spoiled by throat irritation, >
My job’s tough on the throat and I
have to be careful to keep my voice
clear. Long ago I found that Luckies
are easy and smooth and don’t catch
your thrdat. That means everything
in a job like mine. Next time you hear
the usual *Cheerio’ at the end of my
broadcast, you can picture me reach*
ing for a Lucky an instant later,"
An independent survey was made recently
among professional men and women—lawyers,
doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc* Of those who
said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated
they personally prefer a light smoke*
Mr. Carter verifies the wisdom of this pref
erence, and so do other leading artists of the
radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are
their fortunes* That’s why so many of them smoke
Luckies* You, too, can have the throat protec
tion of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain
harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process
"It’s Toasted”* Luckies are gentle on the throat.
