TO THE BATTALION: Numerous articles have appeared in The Bat ulion regarding traffic rules and regulations.

About noon each day people drive their cars reck- leasly, causing Aggie* to walk in the ditch or risk their lives by walking op ths sdge of tbs road. It ia true the AAA workers are vary busy; however, their limit of time is not enough to risk the life of an iiEb|i|ir j j|\|| r i Something should he and has been done about the situation. Not long ago Sergeant Mac directed all AAA traffic to go the old highway to Bryan. Thi* seems to be effective and ia one of the most beneficial traffic laws enforced on the campus. It is the wish of file students that it be con tinued and that other traffic laws be observed more closely by drivers while on the A- A M. campus. WADE W. WHITE, ’39 JIMMIE J. JAMISON. ’39 ; J. H.

Recent trends in education have tpointed to specialization . . i we have a tendency to slip past that, however, and go on to ovt>r-*p«-ci4lnation At Harvard University, some of thi professor* got their heads together and brought out a scheme to balance the educational diet of the coj nans goldfish. The Harvard scheme included a wider selection of subject* in ab allied field and the e*Hbhshmto ; of new fields in natural science, social isdence and 1 humanities. Several years ago, a method of dhpartmental concentration waa introduced to off-set khe evils of a free-elective system.

LUDLUM At a time when the Wagner Act ia under dis cussion, with a view ef amending it, it \a good to consider whether it is: ioedud lU favor of labor, as it it often said to be. The Act protects labor only in two rights: the right to organize, and the right to bargain collectively. It favor* labor in that it considers the employer’s powers to be overwhelm ingly greater than Isbor’a, and the Act tries to even the balance by asuuring labor these two rights. And consider this statement by the chairman of the National Labor Relation* Board, telling how the employee would be trusted, if the treatment given him were actually the same a* that given the em ployer. “If Picket, a union man on strike, violated the lew, the employer would file a charge in our rugion- lal office, perhaps some hundred miles swap. Our office would write a letter er telephone politely to Picket and ask him for his side of the story. Ah investigator would go out aa soon as convani|&t and attempt to aacerUin the true facta. If the invesUga- tion mdieateR that the employer * charge against picket was apparently well founded and if Picket indicated that he waa unwilling to bring himself into compUaMp'with the law, a formal 'complaint would be iamied against Picket, giving him not lest than five days’ notice that a hearing would be held before a Triol Examiner to be sent from Washington. The hearing would proceed and in due time the Trial Examiner would make an in termediate report. If he thought Picket had violated the law, he would recomnu nd that Picket ‘cease and from further violations, and post a notice that he would tin no more. If Picket followed this recommendation, that would be the end of the pro ceeding. If, however. Picket was recalcitrant, the entire record of the hearing would be forwarded to the Board in Washington, which, after studying it, might make an order similar to the Trial Examiner’s r»* (immendhtion Th.* order would be served upon Picket with a request that he Inform the Board with in a specified reasonable time what steps he had taken to comply wttijthe Board * order. If Picket expressly or by silence gave the Board to understand that ha didn’t intend to comply with the B- anfd order at all, then the Board would file a petition In the United State* Circuit Court of Appeals, and have the record printed and file briefs and —k- oral arguments when the Picket case had its turn on the docket. The three judges of that court would deliberate, and If they concluded that the Board’s order was supported by evidence mad well founded in law, they would enter a decree that Picket should comply with the Boards order. Then, after all these months. Picket would for the firat time face the alternative at obeying the law or gou« to jail" b Ruesla was la Spain- deeper than anyone knew. Why did Stalin intervene?
