WASHINGTON 7P) The senate munitions committee, its last dollar spent investigating the arms industry, indicated today it was pinning its hope on world opinion to bring further inquiry here and abroad. The inquiry winding up Its six weeks of pre-Christmas hearings yesterday, received an emphatic assertion from the war department, opposing nationalization of the munitions industry as "a policy which would fail in war and therefore does not appear logical in peace." The statement, presented by Lieut. Col. C. T.

Harris and approved by Secretary Dern, argued it would cost $1,000,000,000 at the outset to nationalize the industry and provide for equipping 4,000,000 soldiers. The upkeep was estimated at $80,000,000 annually, which the army high command contended would double the peacetime cost of national defense. Chairman Nye R. N.D.) Immediately replied his committee would shoot this argument "full of holes." Probe C'ostg $30,000. With the committee's $50,000 gone, however, it was up to the to say whether the inquiry would go on.

Testifying yesterday about the war department's plans to mobilize national resources for any future war, Col. Harris denied a contention of Senator Clark (D. Mo.) that a draft of labor was contemplated. "To the best of my knowledge and belief," he said, "the department is not contemplating a draft of labor." He would neither deny nor agree that collective bargaining as provided under NRA would be scrapped in war-time under the plan. "Well," he said, "you can't have two bosses in time of war." William Green, president of the Federation of Labor, said elsewhere that "war or no war" labor would resist any attempt to abrogate Section 7-A, the collective bargaining provision WHICH FORMERLY HELD 300,000 GALLON'S oF WINE NOW USED AS A RESTAURANT" AND SEATS 1 HAVEN'T a single, solitary note for the old col-yum today.

But what of it? I could write a book, Instead of a column if I had the time. A book about hungry people about riven who are beaten by life about children with spindly legs and abnormally large eyes about women Who Have No One It wouldn't be a very funny book. There would be more tears than laughter; more shadows than lights. And just about the time that my readers got to thinking: "It has lost its meaning that first Christmas day in the little town of Bethlehem centuries ago," I'd have a youthful, hesitant, boyish voice call over the telephone. "I haven't been working very long, and I couldn't take care of a family, but say, if I send you a dollar, couldn't you buy some toys for a little kid?" WHICH reminds me of my favorite story I think it is in Edwin Markham's poem "The Juggter of Tourraine." A merry little man who made his living by juggling at county fairs.

Juggling was his only talent. After a while folks grew indifferent to his talent, and in sadness he stopped at a wayside monastery in the hills, after a fair. Here, in a silent, cloistered hall, he watched daily as monks and neophytes brought their beautiful talents to lay before the Madonna a marvelous bit of painting by one; a status by another; glorious, young voices, raised in song, by others. They all had something to lay at her feet except the juggler. And he was sad.

What could net give? I.ets than nothing. It troubled him for days. And then an Idea rame to him. He would give the one thing he had. For days he practiced In solitude.

And then, on Christmas morning, lie came to Her presence, anil with shining, glowing face he performed his new trick of juggling for Her all that he had to give. And that dollar bill from the hoy who hadn't worked long, was just as beautiful a girt as the little juggler's gift to the Madonna. AND if I were writing a book, I'd tell about the man who cam to the Muster-Cheers' office yesterday after the word got around that 400 families had been cut off the Christmas basket list because there wasn't enough food 1 ON A NEW STAMP OF ARGENTINA ALMOST CAUSED A WAR BETWEEM COUNTRY AND CHILE, A WHERE IT 5HOUUD FACE.

Long, using th powers handed him by the special session of the state legislature, laid elaborate plans today for the approaching congressional session and his 1936 presidential campaign. As for congress, lv) said his "share-the-wealth" plan, which was defeated last year, will be reintroduced.

The measure would restrict individual wealth and income to give everyone in the nation at least $5,000 "free of debt." "I'm going to put it over," the Kingfish said, "and Roosevelt will come around to it." As for the presidency, he began to lay an early and extensive groundwork. One of the laws enacted by the legislature this week authorized Louisiana State university to purchase or lease a radio station or mak arrangements for a chain of stations. Long probably will rely greatly on the radio in his campaign for the presidency, as he has in state campaigns. Long-controlled state agencies, meanwhile, went into action against his opponents. The Kingfish's police struck swiftly last night, raiding three Jefferson parish gambling houses and one in St.

Bernard parish, which were crowded with patrons. The parishes adjoin New Orleans. O. N. G.

AUGUST IH Vv! i 1 i i Vv I Labor Finds Profits Increase While 5 Millions More Get Charity in Last Year. WASHINGTON (UR The American Federation of Labor to- day studied the nation's drive to-i ward recovery and found persons had been added to (relief rolls during the year. In contrast it reported rapidly Increasing dividend payments and corporation profits, while corporation deficits had sharply declined.

The survey, pointing to unemployment relief as "America's most urgent problem," quoted FERA figures showing Increases in number of persons dependent on relief from 1:1,338.000 In September. 193.1. to 1 8,402.000 in September this year. Total relief costs more than doubled. With PWA and CCC payrolls, this rost now totals more than a month, Showing by graph that 1934 production of mines and factories have gained "hardly at all" over 1933, the survey states that although industrial production, which began to rise in September, promises to continue until spring, "there is no likelihood that it will lift production or employment above levels last May when 10.24S.OOO were out of work." Can't Count on Industry, "Clearly we cannot count on private industry to find productive work for the unemployed in the near future," the labor exports continued.

The speed of production, the survey finds. Is determined by "a chance to make profits." "Whatever may be the needs of our population, whatever the number of persons who want work and are denied a chance to produce the needed goods, actually millions of business men will not increase production unless they see either a safe chance to make rea sonable profits or a fair chance to make very large profits," the survey said. Reduced margins of profit, hesitancy of bankers to make ex pansion loans, linked with code and securities: regul.xtlou are i i It! Wusfness men "uncertain of the future." These causes, with the "particularly disturbing action of employers to prevent workers from organizing and securing justice, resulting in losses through strikes," are listed as delaying production speed, and preevnting added employment, i Wage cutting before NIIA and a sprint to pile up goods before code costs were effective, the sur vey claims, made possible an increase in 1933 of $654,000,000 in corporation profits over those of 1932. and a decrease of in corporation deficits.

in. fense. I didn't see his face. I heard him say in a brusque voice; "Is my name down for a basket?" Workers looked through the files and his name wasn't there. I heard one of the girls ask him if he had been on relief which would mean that his name had been on the list but had been eliminated because the county relief worker believed that he was one who could be cut off with the resulting distress.

But without a word, the man turned and walked out of the door. "Wise guy, I suppose," commented some one. "No," said the girl who had asked him, "he didn't answer because lie couldn't talk. He was crying." I ran out after him, hut he was lost In the Christmas crowds. AND then there was the gay vagabond who lives in Mansfield, and who goes from door to door for food.

He is big and has a white fringe of hair. Out of a ruddy face, twinkle two merry eyes. "I'll bet it was tough raisin' food this year," he sympathized. "Me, I go from door to door sometimes to keep from starvin', and what I get you could put in your eye." Wbsn I reluctantly told him that his name wasn't on the basket list, and explained that it was a question of eliminating single men or men with children, he said: "Well, I started eatin' beans and sow-belly (n the Spanish-American war, for a good cause; and on Christmas day, I'll beg for money enough for the same dish, and when I sit down to it, I'll hitch my belt up a notch and say: 'Here's to the kids that's eatin' my Christmas And if THAT isn't the Christmas spirit, what is?
