MAIL PILOT DISCREDITS PUBLIC’S FEAR FOR LINDBERGH

DERIDES RUMOR OF ACE TAKING NEEDLESS RISKS Major Robertson Pleads That Admirers Allow ‘Slim’ Privacy. DENIES FLIER IS TIRED Says ‘Lone Eagle’ Careful, but Would Be Heart Broken If Landbound. BY FOSTER EATON ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 7.—C01. Charles A. Lindbergh wants the public to have confidence in his ability to fly without taking unnecessary risks, Maj. William B. Robertson, a friend and former air mail employer, said today. "The public in general knows so little about flying—and he knows to much,” Robertson told the! United Press, “that criticism of his ! flights seems ridiculous to him. He \ goes safely or he doesn’t go.” Robertson, a veteran pilot him-! ' eeif, contributed his bit of con- j fidence in the “Lone Eagle” by j Baying: . "If ‘Slim’ thought conditions were Tight, I would never hesitate a minute to go with him, even though I personally might doubt the wisdom of a given flight. He uses his jhead.’’ Lindbergh has dedicated his life to the advancement of aeronautics; Robertson pointed out. "It would break his heart now to i be landbound by a lot of wellaiming but misinformed persons who*) fear for his personal safety—in | which he has the keenest interest j of any one alive. “He uses excellent judgment. He! takes to the air only after careful analysis of conditions he will meet on each flight.” Robertson was asked about the Colonel’s recent night flight to Washington. ’ I didn't particularly like the idea., but the moon was as bright as a dim sun and actually cast shadows. It was light enough to find any field.” Robertson scoffed into the background the rumor that Lindbergh was "all tired out” and going to a hospital for a complete rest. ‘ The idea is ridiculous,” he said. “1 flew with him from here to Boston and back since Washington's birthday, and I know it was a real vacation for him. He is in , the best of health.” "He is tired of only one thing, j and that is being met as a leading j citizen everywhere he goes now. He j

Here’s the Job Moved by a doleful letter from a man who signed himself, “An honest man who wants work,” Police Chief Claude M. Worley assumed the role of a one-man employment bureau today and asked that The Times inform the writer that a job awaits him. The letter read in part as follows: “I am a World War veteran and have a wife and babies and no wdrk and I have been everywhere and tried to secure employment, but have been unable to get any. I’m writing to you to see if you can help me get work. There is a way to make a living without stealing and robbing. That is one thing I will not do. But surely I would have an excuse with my babies crying from hunger. I do not want my name in the paper, but I’ll look there to see if you have found a Job for me.”

FEUD IN 6.0. P RANKS SEEN AS EDITORS MEET Committee’s Indorsement of Governor Jackson Threatens Party Peace. The recent indorsement of Governor Ed Jackson s administration by the Republican State committee in the face of State-wide editorial demands for his resignation, today threatened to inject discord into the two-day Golden Jubilee meeting of the Republican Editorial Association, Thursday and Friday, at the Columbia Club. This was the admissison of the vanguard of editors. The resolutions committee, appointed by President James J. Patchell at the outset of the meeting. probably wouid be the center of the feud, if one arose. Committee Hits Snag Many Republican editors, it was understood, rankled under the action of the State committee a short time ago when in one breath it lauded E. Faye Kitselman, the new chairman, as an evidence of a “new deal" and then adopted unanimous- I ly a resolution indorsing Jackson’s ! administration. The resolution had been presented by Schuyler Haas, Seventh district chairman, and erstwhile corporation counsel and right-hand man to the convicted Mayor John L. Duvall. The committee, the same day, held it to be “beyond its province” to act in accordance with requests from Thomas H. Adams, Vincennes publisher, and Arthur K. Remmel, editor of the Ft. Wayne News-Sen-tinel, asking Jackson’s resignation be demanded by the committee. Seek Peaceful Agreement Similar requests probably would j engulf the assembled editors in a pro and con Jackson feud, it was admitted. A peaceful “way around" may be found by a gentleman’s j agreement that no indorsement of Jackson’s administration be asked! of the convention in return for the promise of no attacks against him, | editors believed. United States Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson; will attend some of the sessions, and although not scheduled speak- i ers, doubtless will consent to ad- ! dress some remarks to the editors 1 and their guests. Publisher's problems are to engross the attention of the news- i paper men at their business meeting that political candidacies the length and breadth of the State, will be a favorite topic for corridor and private room discussion.

JIM REED ASKS PARTY PEACE, HONEST RULE Senator Gives Campaign Message; Stresses State Rights. Following is another of the series of interviews with presidential candidates, obtained by the United Press for The Times. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Prow Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 7.—The campaign message of Senator James A. Reed of Missouri is an appeal for peace in Democratic ranks, coupled with the old Jacksonian cry against the Republicans: "Chase the rascals out.” In an interview with the United Press before he left on his tour of the West, Reed propounded the following doctrine for Democracy: "If the people are to remain free, local self-government and the sovereignty of the States must be preserved. "The Federal power should be brought within the limits of not only the letter but the spirit of the Constitution. "The march of centralization must be arrested. "Government by boards and bureaucracies must cease." The white-haired but tali and lithe disciple of typically American theories and beliefs then laid down his seven demands for corrective changes which he intimated would be brought about if he were elected President. "Tiie first is for the honest administration of government,” he said. Others arc: “The swift and sure punishment of all public plunderers, bribe-mon-gers and other malefactors; "Equalization of the burden of taxation: "Repeal of all law's creating special privileges; "Dismissal of an army of spies, snoopers, sneaks and informers: "Liberation of honest business from oppressive interference by 1 Government agents.
