COME ON HUNTINGTON: , Our sympathies are extended to the citizens ot our neighboring city. Huntington. where they havo been going through the trying ordeals pursuant to the temporary i closing ot their banks. Its a real test for any community and we would not miminize its serious- 1 ness but we know by experience: that the only thing that will help is constructive optimism and effort. Huntington is a great community and one of the finest cities of its size in all America. It is composed of splendid citizens, beautiful homes, wonderful public buildings, ■ well equipped factories and other c.incerns needed. We know a lot of the men who do things in Huntington and we know they will meet any crisis with the courage and, good common sense necessa.y. The present difficulties are the real test of civic and community spirit. A thousand other towns and cities Ijave experienced it and if every one shows a desire to cooperate, to be constructive and to have con- i tidence, you will be surprised how 1 quickly things will right them-, selves. Among the many splendid business institutions in Huntington is the Cloverleaf Creamery plant and he encouraging statement issued by Mr. Klepper, vice-president and ' published in this paper shows the right spirit of helpfulness in this | time of stress. Come on. Huntington, put it | over, as you always have. One of these days Robinson of Indiana and Robinson of Arkansas are going to get into a real scrap.! Every once in a while they clash I and say mean things about each other. Yesterday they engaged in a hot word battle and there were I threats and fist shaking and other Indications that the feeling be-, tween the two senators is deep, and nasty. Robinson of Indiana is • known as a "narrow minded partisan,’’ while Robinson of Arkansas h s a temper that frequently gets away from him. Interesting but somewhat distressing. The Glass banking bill passed the U S Senate by a vote of 54 to 9. showing how little effect the Ixmg filibuster had and we haven't much faith in the predictions of those who say it will have a hard time in the house. The measure must have merit or it would not have had this support in the senate and it it has, congress ought to and will put it over and if they hesitate they will hear from home. Some city and it will probably be a small one will gain a nationwide reputation and many columns of free advertising one of these

days by licking the depression and 'starting the ball rolling by a dis ' play of old fashioned pep. Why 'not Decatur? If things break the 1 next few weeks as we believe they i will, that very thing can be done. ' And that would be the greatest ' thrill a lot of us could have. ■ A bill in the legislature that would do away with a lot of mush-. 'room political parties looks like it ' had some merit. It provides that before they can get a party on a i state ticket they must get the sig- ' natures of one per cent of the , number of votes cast for secretary of state at the last election. — Mr. Roosevelt is not going to ' discuss debt cancellation and that's another wise move. There has been entirely too much publicity about the whole matter and the less published the better for every ' one and the quicker the matters can be adjusted. ■ * | The old advice not to go to a- - to "bust" up the depress- • „ l!

By HARRISON CARROLL. Opyrifbt, i*l3. King Features Syndicate. Inc HOLLYWOOD—IIIness, which has cost Hollywood studios thousands of dollars this winter, struck at an-

other picture when Richard Bennett was unable to go on with his role m “The White SisI ter.” With Helen i Hayes and Clark Gable tied up in this produc- [ tion, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 1 has summoned Lewis Stone to assume the role of the prince, one of the three

major parts in the picture. This has been a hard winter for the elder Bennett. Only a short while ago, he suffered a severe attack of pneumonia, but, after convalescing on the desert, was pronounced well enough to work. Lowered resistance, however, caused him to succumb to a second illness. For a while he put up a brave fight, working with a nurse on the set, but the strain was too great. Fortunately for M-G-M, the scenes in

which he appeared can be re-taken in a few days. Bennett’s case is just another example of the extraordinary run of hard luck that has hit Hollywood | production of late. Al Jolson’s pic- | ture had to go into extensive retakes because of the illness <-f Ro land Young. Clark Gable had Paramount in difficulties on “No Man of Her Own.” Elissa Landi caused a complete re-arrangement of shooting schedules on “The Masquerader.” Both Dick Barthelmess and Sally Eilers had to stop work on “Grand Central Airport.” And now Dick is out for the second time. The only persons to benefit from the situation aie the film colony doctors, who are having a bonanza year. One of the better wisecracks of the week was made by H. W. Ilane- ' mann, film critic for a national ! magazine and R-K-0 writer on the 1 side. Hanemann paid a visit to “The Great Jasper” set. where a half dozen pretty girls were wearing the styles of 1910. Suddenly, he remarked : “This reminds me to much of old times that I’ve just remembered some phone numbers 1 used to have in college.”

Message Os Confidence To City Os Huntington (By W. A. Kiepper, Vice-President and General Mgr. I Cloverleaf Creameries, inc.) Huntington is a city of splendid i people who will always work to-1 gether constructively and that’s their assurance that they will em-| erge from the present crisis. Now is the time for a real test B of true civic and community spirit I for the people of that community. <1 It is true that the bank difficulties !■ are unfortunate but it is likewise I certain that after the adjustment il of affairs is made, conditions willjl gradually right themselves. Evervil one must have confidence in one I another and direct their efforts to- I wards building up a solid struc- I tilth of self reliance. I Times Jike the present are times I that try the real character of in- il dividuals and one must think and il speak fairly and constructively and I must crush any propaganda that is il detrimental and harmful to the (I community at large. I Conditions will improve gradu- I ally, once you start and we will I just have to learn the lesson of I patience and sacrifice and then we I will all be happier and then will I we live up to the exhortation of IB the Master-Love thy neighbor as I thyself. • I The Cloverleaf Creameries. Inc., II believes in Huntington and her ■ surrounding territory and her line I people. Our company has prosper-jl ed because of the confidence you I have had in us and at this critical I time we are happy to be able to I tide over the inconvenience that 11 has been imposed by making it I possible for each of our patrons to I cash their checks at our Hunting- il ton offices. We assure our patrons I that any checks that have been out- I standing will be cashed promptly I at our Huntington o“ice. Until I the banks in Huntington reopen, II cash will be paid to every one who I sells us cream or milk.

Editors note: The Lnited Pre>ss presents herewith the first and only interview with c Murray Humphries, Chicago s I new public enemy No. 1). —, -— ‘ By Robert T. Loughran, UP Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1933, by the UP) Chicago, Jan. 27.— (li.PJ — Tho P man who stepped into Al Capone s shoes as gang chief of Chicago , broke his silence today with then claim that he is a master business man persecuted by trade and civic 1 organizations. “I’m no gang chief, no hoodlum, i he protested. "I’m a business man j ] and a good one. j 1 “Why, I'm the man who brought 9-cent milk to Chicago. 1 saved the housewives $50,000 a week Then there was a court fight and I didn't have the money to keep up. the battle.” Murray Humphries, 32, punctu-; ated his points with blows of his fist on a table in an ante room of the municipal court during a lull. in his trial on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. He spoke convincingly, in excellent language. There was no gang patois, no slang. Before beginning, he tucked a purple-bordered silk handkerchief : into the breast pocket of his expensive dark purple suit. He had needed the handkerchief to shield his face while running the gauntlet of news photographs. A rich | purple necktie matched the suit and handkerchief. He wore a white shirt, gray spats. His only jewelry was a costly wrist watch

That's why he named me public enemy No. 1. I kiie'.v Al Capone to speak to, yes.. But I never belonged to his syndi c cate or any other gang. That's all ■ vicious nonsense."
