Moral suasion ends U.S. plane exports aiding Japan and fascist powers
The National Munitions Control Board reports November licenses to export planes and parts to Japan ceased following Hull's appeal. Public opinion supports halting aid to Japan and possibly to other fascist nations.

Unionism Pushes Nil Amendments to Wagner Act Rights
The American Federation of Labor urges Congress to reject changes to the Wagner and National Labor Relations Acts. It seeks mandatory bargaining rights for any class or craft choosing its own reps. The CIO argues this preserves a labor aristocracy and limits semi skilled workers. Employers may favor industrial bargaining to cover all employee grades. Both unions warn against stripping the NLRB of unit size discretion.

Toward a Radio Yardstick Public Broadcast Debate

Exiles Move Leavenworth Indiana to New Hill After Flood
In Crawford County Indiana the village of Leavenworth relocated from the old site to a nearby hill four hundred feet higher following repeated Ohio River floods. About five hundred residents lived in tents during the move aided by the Red Cross funding around one hundred new homes and the Works Progress Administration. The Wonderland Trail route of Indiana State Highway 62 now passes through the rebuilt town as residents say they feel safer and happier with the strategic retreat.

The piece argues the Eastern Shore hosts a hidden wildlife abundance from deer to foxes and muskrats. It likens suburban fear of deer to an ancient camel tale, warning civilization masks wild beasts nearby and that human encroachment feeds a stubborn, persistent frontier.
