'PLAN AHEAD TO STABILIZE JOBS,' IS PLEA TO U. S. Mrs. Pinchot Refuses to Accept ‘lnevitability’ of Depressions. Followinc is the second half of a twopart Interview with Mrs. Corenlia Rrrre Pihchot on tac unemployment problem. BV JAMES A. SULLIVAN t'nited Press Staff Correspondent ‘Copvrieht. 1931. by United Press* HARRISBURG. Pa., April B.—" Society can not let the burden of unemployment fall upon the one class least able to bear it,” Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot said today in discussing social responsibility of the workers’ problem. Mrs. Pinchot. wife of the Pennsylvania Governor, decried the tendency to accept the statement of the inevitability of cyclical and seasonal unemployment and urged stabilization of production and long range planning of public works as means of meeting society’s responsibilities. "Shut off one man’B wages and you stop his buying,” she said. "He can not maintain payments on his home or on his automobile. He makes one pair of shoes last longer; one suit of clothes serve an additional season. He purchased one loat of bread instead of two; a peck of potatoes instead of a bushel.” Compared to Forest Fire “In their turn, the merchant, the wholesale dealer, the jobber and the manufacturer and then the men employed by the manufacturer, and the men in the industry supplying the factory with its raw materials —all have less work to do, less money to spend, and as the cycle spreads, buy less themselves and spread the depression. “The unemployment problem always has seemed to me to be comparable to a forest fire. First a spark, one man out of a job. “Then a thin line of Are along the edge of the first spark, spreading gradually until the entire forest, the industrial structure, is ablaze and soon destroyed. Past gains are wiped out. and we must start to build the forest anew. “High Wage Theory Sound” “The theory that high wages mean prosperity is essentially sound. Unless you increase your consuming public, you can’t continue increased production.” Mrs. Pinchot saw some form of unemployment insurance, either through industry itself, through labor and industry co-operating, or through joint co-operation of government labor and industry as an inevitable result of the present crisis. “It Is one thing to read such dictums —that cycles of depression and good times are inevitable, that a period of unemployment must follow a period of steady work—and it is quite another thing to see these statistics being worked out in the story of human lives,” she said. BIOLOGISTS ASSAILED IN MINISTER’S DEATH •True Scientists Driven to Scriptures,’ Says the Rev. S. E. Long. Declaring that biology never revealed anything not to be found in Holy Scriptures, the Rev. S. E. Long of Chicago Tuesday night attacked theological seminaries and other colleges for robbing America’s youth of its faith. Dr. Long, a representative of the Moody Bible institute, addressed the Indianapolis Bible institute. He said: "Thousands of students are being robbed of their faith by pseudoscientists who sneeze in their face about the students’ old-fogey ideas of God. “The true scientists have been driven to scriptures by realization of their own shortcomings. They have begun to realize that the book of Genesis should be an introduction to every course in natural science.” BANDIT STEALS AUTO Drives Off In Woman’s Car: Purse Also in Machine, Theft of her car and purse by a bandit who robbed her as she put away her car Tuesday night, was reported to police today by Mrs. George G. Patton, 1616 Montcalm street. She said the bandit stepped from the side of the garage and demanded her purse. When she said It was in the car. he drove away in the auto, she told police.

JACK WALTON, IS BEATEN IN VOTE
Ousted Ex-Governor of Oklahoma Defeated for Mayor. By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, April 8. A defeated candidate in Oklahoma City’s mayoralty election, John C. (Jack) Walton was thrust back today Into the political oblivion from which he sought to emerge after his impeachment as Governor. By a majority of nearly 9,000 votes, Clarence J. Blinn, 44, an attorney, defeated Walton Tuesday. Semi-official tabulations, with only one precinct lacking, gave Blinn, 25,169; Walton, 16,291. The campaign for mayor was Walton’s biggest attempt at a political comeback since he was ousted from the Governor’s chair in 1923. "It was a great victory for the forces of righteousness against those of graft, vice and corruption,” Blinn said. "Oklahoma City could not afford to have another jolt of ’Waitonism.’ ” It was expected Walton would go into voluntary political exile at his home in Houston, Tex. Walton was mayor of Oklahoma City thirteen years ago. Four years later he was elected Governor of the state by the largest majority ever accorded a gubernatorial candidate at that time. In the Ku-Klux Klan uprising of 1923, Walton was charged with corruption in office. He declared statewide martial law and forbade assembly of grand juries, but could not forestall impeachment. Last summer Walton waged an unsuccessful campaign for the United States senate, as he had done in 1926.

POOR AID OREAD TICKET CLAIMS REMAIN UNPAID Commissioners Refuse to Allow Accounts of Former Trustee. Questioned claims of bakers and grocers on bread tickets, issued under the poor relief administration of Mrs. Amelia Harding, former center township trustee, stood unpaid today after a hearing with the county commissioners. Commissioners have refused to pay claims including one of the West Baking Company totaling $8,178.21 for 25,000 bread tickets, taken up by the company under the poor relief system. These tickets are questioned because they were turned in after Jan. 1, the date when books for the year were to have been closed. Records Are Missing Records from the township trustee’s office that' might solve the wrangle between commissioners and bakers are missing, it was disclosed at the hearing today. Consequently, commissioners said they would turn the claims over to the state board of accounts for checking. Mrs. Harding, u’ho attended the hearing, reluctantly approved claims of two grocers for tickets they had left on their hands from her administration. She’s Suspicious Now' When it was charged at the meeting that Mrs. Harding must have destroyed the records of the tickets, Mrs. Harding said: "I conducted my office to the best of my ability and I am suspicious about signing any claims now.” “If you know the tickets went out of your office, why don’t you approve the claims of these grocers?’’ County Auditor Harry Dunn asked Mrs. Harding. “I will if you won’t bring me back in here and fight about it. I am not going to fool with you any more,” Mrs. Harding answered. The bread ticket system became so troublesome that it was discontinued by commissioners the first of March.
