it’s still impossible to buy carpets shaped like a slab of pie, °J,
pictures to hang on the inside of the outside walls. Maybe that s
why they say the industry needs protecting.
QUT, seriously, the need for all the emphasis on Prefabs is that
<M there simply aren't going to be enough standard building materials
to make possible the construction of 2,700,000 conventional-type hOfMM
in the next two years. That’s why Wyatt is leaning on 850,000
prefabs—to keep that many families in out of the rain and out of the
hair of relatives they might otherwise have to double up with.
Senators listening to Wyatt’s program didn’t seem to be too well
sold Senator Robert A. Taft thinks 150,000 prefabs is all the market
will absorb. Senator Homer Capehart, the big radio man from Indi-
ana, says he would go along with granting the prefab makers RFC
loans for factories and machinery, but he's not so sure about the
wisdom of having the government guarantee them a market. If the
government dees that, Capehart said in summing up his opposition,
“I’m in the wrong business.” ■

mitive society and in our own pioneer days,
men And women were forced to work most
of their waking houw to get the bare ne-
cessities of Hie. Today, in a mechanized
world and engine-power harnessed as the
slave of man, we have bten constantly cut-
ting down the number of hours of labor
necessary to make a living and increasing
the hours of leisure or freedom from regu-
lar work.
With the privilege of leisure goes se-
rious problems that affect individual lives,
families, communities, states and nations.
What are we doing with all this spare
time? Leisure can be a snare and a delu-
sion. The saying that “idleness is the
devil’s workshop- is still alarmingly true.
Bernard Shaw said that “the secret of be-
ing miserable is to have leisure to bother
about whether you are happy or not.” The
best cure for boredom is to keep busy.
Statistics have proven many times that
a decrease in hours of labor is likely to be
followed by an increase in crime. We hear
little men speak of killing time. And what
*> foul murder that is indeed—4o kill the pre-
i ny such “purge” will be attempted by the party
organization. It has been tried over and over and
in nine caaee out of ten lias been more harmful
ti an helpful to the party cause. ,
What Secretary of Wallace did (I *u*pect, in-
advertently, since hia “purge” speech was purely
impromptu before a small luncheon of the Wom-
en** Democratic Club here, and there was only one
newspaper reporter in the house) was to give dra-
matic point to the critical state of the administra-
tion's legislative program.
He suggested that both parties apply party dis-
cipline on major isaues—the Britiah loan, full em-
ployment, atomic energy and such. It isn’t a new
idea at all. The LaFollette-Monroney congression-
al reorganisation committee has suggested that the
party caucus, very infrequently used these last 20
years or so, be reestablished to give some sem-
blance of order to partisan views and partisan
votes.
The committee doesn’t suggest anything like a
“purge” In the case of recalcitrants. Rep. A. S.
“Mike” Monroney has jumped the party fence
whenever his convictions dictated, and Sen. Rob-
ert M. LaFollette, Jr., is a second generationemug-
wump, just re-identified with the Republican par-
ty. '
The late Sen. George W. Norris wsa an Inde-
pendent in Republican Nebraska. As "father of
the TVA” and long-time foe of the private power
interesta, he was closely identified with the New
Deal in hit later years. *
Sen. "Young Bob" LaFollette tells the story to-
day of how his father set out in a buekboard a half
a century ago to upset the Republican party ma-
chine in Wisconsin. The LaFollette party suc-
ceeded and from 1934 until the other day it sail-
ed under its own banner as the Progressive party.
It has gone back to the Republican party now, but
It’s a question who said: "Welcome home.”
In California, party lines are so indistinguish-
able that there would constantly be a question of
who should discipline whom. Many members of
Congress, including the late Sen. Biram W. John-
son, long a storm/ petrel, have held office on the
nominations of both major parties in California.
The beat known mugwump of our time certain-
ly U the late Theodore Roosevelt. Repudiated by
the Republicans in the 1912 convention, he and
hia Bull Moosers came close to winning the presi-
dency, but more importantly they taught the poli-
ticians of both parties a terrific lesson—that you
can’t read important leaders out of the party with-
out wrecking it. That year Democratic Woodrow
Wilson took over the presidency.
The complaint today is against the Democra-
tic insurgents, mostly from the South. Their
leadership is scattered; their interests diverse;
their views generally speaking, conservative, al-
though there are some oustandlng liberals among
them.

POPULAR taste is a funny thing.
T world can be presented on l-—
cioua substance of our fleeting lives. Great
scientists, writers, artists, architects, and
the great brains that have given us our
progress have grieved that there is not
more time for the achievement of their
dreams.
Man needs leisure and he is wise who
knows how to uae it. A fishing trip, an
afternoon on the golf links, golden hours
with hobbies, an outing in the woods or a
quiet evening with a book can mean sooth-
ing re-creation of mind and body.
Memories of wasted hours haunt us as
we try to remember what we did last week
or last month or laat year. How we throw
away the golden nuggets of spare time
■ and come to the end of a week or the end
of a life with so many wasted yesterdays.
He who does not know how to handle his
leisure, Dryden said, U "bankrupt of life,
yet prodigal of ease.”
With challenging calls on every hand
for men and women to invest some of their
time in community building, in church,
school, charity, or self-improvement, we
hear the complaint: “I don’t have time.”
