This sure lifetime reward, said Reformer Forbes will give Congressmen "social security" that will enable them to stand up against their constituents' demands for legislation, their colleagues' schemes for political logrolling, and enable them ,to look at the problems of lawmaking from a national instead of a sectional or partisan point of view. As an insurance man, Mr. Forbes figures that since the average has a life expectancy of about 20 years, his plan would cost a maximum of $10,000,00 annually. As a reformer, he is sure it would save the nation much more, besides encouraging a higher type of citizen to run for Congress and providing a reserve of trained and paid-u- p personnel for Federal commissions. Inquiring of a lawyer friend, Mr. Forbes found that there was no legal obstacle to his plan, since Congress has always enjoyed the power to fix its compensation for any session except the immediate one. "I have spent most of my life cussing Congressmen," But the more I think of it, the more I realize that the joke is on us voting consumers, who have been overlooking human nature for 150 years." pork-barr- of cooperation." "TAKE IT FROM ME" LONDON The new U. S. Ambas- sador to the Court of St. James, able Joseph Patrick Kennedy, last week reached London and was greeted by officials. To the delight of top-hatt- ed he urged modification of the undistributed but not repeal profits and capital gains taxes, and declared that the new tax bill with its initial reforms of the tax system might be "the leading economic event of current history." An on at least two points his practical economic suggestions coincided with Administration ideas wages and hours legislation, equality for farmers. Eloquently oOo Britons, he cocked his feet up on his d desk at the new U. S. Embassy in Grosvenor Square, went riding on a "rented horse," scorwhile playing golf, ed a shook hands with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Then he confided: "You can take it from me that I have no precise instructions from the President. . . You can't expect me to develop into a statesman overnight. . . By 1940 I believe there will be a deg-ulpassenger and freight airline across the j Atlantic, and I would be willing to be the first passenger myself. . . Right now the average American isn't as interested in foreign affairs as he is in how he's going to eat and whether his insurance is good. Some, maybe, even are more interested in how Casey Stengel's Boston Bee's are going to do next season." Few days later, as Mrs. Kennedy and five of her nine children embarked for England, Joe Kennedy presented his credentials to George VI at Buckingham Palace. highly-polishe- hole-in-o- ar STAMPS After a White House conference with Philatelist Franklin Roosevelt, Postmaster General Farley last week announced the first complete revision since 1'23 in the series of U.

Nowadays not one fox terrior in a hundred does his job. But a fort night ago at Farley, Iowa, Farmer Emmett Simon hunting with his two terriers Tuffy and her daughter Spotty sent them into a fox's den. Tuffy came out, but not Spotty. She had been trapped by a rolling stone. Farmer Simon, who loves his Spot ty, set to digging for her. When he found that the hole twisted and turned then ducked into a limestone crevasse, he enlisted the help of eleven friends. For 2601 hours Emmet Simon and his crew worked in shifts like mine rescurers. They blasted and dug, encouraged during the first ten days by feeble, subterranean barking. By night bonfires lit their labor; by day they gulped neighbors' sandwiches at A Snap $150.00 Cross Roads and It was Owens Cross Roads; that he left many friends that mourned his death.

TOKYO, Japan Addressing the Im perial Diet (Congress) at Tokyo, Japan's foreign Minister Koki Hirota last week declared: "Whenever and wherevdr Chinese Generalissmo k falls into the hands Chiang of our farces he will be beheaded!" Ordinarily Mr. Hirota works overtime upholdng such fine distinctions as the diplomatic nicety that Japan and China today are still officially at peace. That even the Foreign Office chief should last week threaten the head of a "friendly nation" with death showed how desperately exasperated many Japanese are becoming by China's continued resistance, increasingly exhausting to the Empire. Japanese forces in China were not only still advancing in the "Hindn-bur- g Line" sector last week, but had so nearly encircled Chinese forces in iff Kai-she- ,.
