SOCIALISM AND BUREAUCRACY ASSAILED BY HURLEY

WARNS AGAINST EXTENSIONS OF FEDERAL POWER % Tosses Sarcastic Dart at Chicago Officials for Gang’s Reign. POINTS TO JEFFERSON Raps Democrats Indirectly for Appeals for U. S. Farm Aid. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, July 4—Speaking in Independence hall, birthplace of the American system of government, Secretary Patrick J. Hurley today assailed disciples of socialism and bureaucracy and warned against further extensions of the federal government’s power. While praising the political and Social system erected by such men as Washington and Jefferson, Hurley said the depression had “indicated to us the necessity of improving our economic system by providing for a greater and more equitable distribution of wealth.” Hurley criticised those who look to the federal government to perform the duties of states and municipalities, referring indirectly to the recent arrest by government agents of the Chicago gangster, A1 Capone^ Sarcasm for Chicago “In some quarters,” he said, “so complete is the breakdown of local self-government that for years it was found no vulnerable spot in the armor of a super-bandit who threatens the lives and property of the citizens until finally the national government must strike him tn his Achilles heel of income tax evasion. He is but one of many who have successfully challenged the authority of local government.” Near Hurley as he spoke was the Liberty bell, which pealed the news that the Declaration of Independence had been signed. He painted a word-picture of the signing of the declaration more than a century and a half ago by men who were well aware they might be executed for treaso nif their cause failed. Hurley emphasized the desire of the “founding fathers.” particularly Thomas Jefferson, to preserve states’ rights and prevent the federal government’s encroachment on Individual liberty. Slaps at Democrats "Yet today,” he said, “we have many self-proclaimed heirs of Thomas Jefferson seizing upon the* opportunity of difficult times to push their schemes for further extension of the pow’er of the federal government. Where Jefferson did his utmost to free us from the tyrany of the crown, they are striving their utmost to subject us to the autocracy of a constantly growing bureaucracy.” During the last session of congress many Democrats fought for direct federal aid to the unemployed. Advocates of bureaucracy, Hurley continued, would “deprive the thrifty and intelligent of the right to win by their own fair efforts the rewards that never can come to the lazy and incapable.” Hurley said there already is a federal bureaucracy of well over 600,000 persons in Washington. In opposing so-called “federal Rid," Hurley ironically noted: “The lone eagle sped across the Atlantic to Paris, and Post and Gatty just have completed their amazing circumnavigation of the globe without a federal subsidy.”

About This Depression That’s a question everybody asks and for which there is no positive answer. How long do business depressions last on the average? How often do they occur? How many times has the United States had a depression? Are they all alike? In what do they differ? What are their causes? What remedies have been applied? How does the present depression differ from others? These are questions to which there are more or less complete answers, and they and many other similar questions are answered in our Washington bureau's latest bulletin—HlSTOßY OF INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSIONS.

Blue-Eyed Girl of 19 Is Queen of Ainericfl'.zFliers

Sixty-two consecutive outside loops, the most dangerous stunt in aviation’s catalog of thrills, won for Dorothy Hester, above, her title as champion girl flier, in addition to her thirty-five other stunts,

Easily Frightened by Men, But She Does Every Stunt Known. BY HELEN WELSHIMER NEA Service Writer CLEVELAND, 0., July 4.—A slim, blue-eyed girl of 19 who admits that boys frighten her much more than turning somersaults in the air, is the new queen of America’s woman stunt fliers. She is Dorothy Hester of Portland, Ore., who —after only a little more than a year’s experience with airplanes—now performs practically every stunt known to the most daring men pilots, plus a few of her own. For this reason she has Just been signed as a featured performer at the National Air Races in Cleveland in August, the first woman ever given such a contract. In Dorothy’s catalog of air thrillers are thirty-six death-defying stunts, nineteen of which are performed while she is flying upside down. Holds World Record Moreover, she holds the world’s record for women making outside loops—aviation’s most dangerous feat—having made 62 in rapid succession at Omaha recently. She also holds the record for the inverted barrel roll, with 56 consecutive rolls Only one flier has made more consecutive outside loops than Dorothy and he is Tex Rankin, famous Pacific coast pilot and her instructor. Rankin set the world’s record by making 78 of these headlong dives under full power of a roaring motor—but his head swan, and his nose bled for a week after he did it. “She is,” says Rankin, “unquestionably one of the greatest pilots—man or woman—l have ever seen. That a slender, 19-year-old girl can handle an airplane in this manner proves clearly that lots of people could fly if they would only try it.” Courage Won for Her Dorothy’s story is that of a modern girl who knew what she wanted and had the courage to go out and get it. Strangely enough, she once planned to become a nun, but that idea faded quickly when her ambition turned to aviation. “I was a student in a girls’ school,” she begins. “One day a neighbor, riding with me on a street car, asked me if I had ever flown. I told her no, but that set me to thinking. I decided to take an airplane ride.” Dorothy hurried home, borrowed the necessary money and w r ent out to Tex Rankin’s aviation school to make a flight. As soon as she looked down on the housetops from above she made up her mind. She would be a flier! Studied and Toiled For a year, the girl studied ground courses at a night school, traveling eight miles to the field and eight miles home again. In the daytime, she worked as an inspector in a woolen mill. A regular flying course cost SSOO, and when Dorothy completed her ground work she had only SIOO. It was enough to give her the air once a week for a short time. Every Sunday morning she went to church. Then she went to the flying field for a fifteen-minute lesson. Then, suddenly, her chance to

make money dropped right out of the sky itself. An American Legion convention ot Medford, Ore, wanted a girl to make a parachute jump. There was SIOO in it. Dorothy got the jump—and the SIOO, That went on her lessons, and three more such jumps enabled her to complete her flying course. Rankin, impressed by the girl’s determination, took her in hand and began to teach her how to do stunts. He taught her feats that

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

no woman had ever tried In the air before and she mastered each quickly. Just a year ago she started her upside-down flying stunts, the most dangerous of all—when a pilot hangs head downward in a streaking airplane with only his safety belt supporting him. Dorothy’s crowning feat— that of performing sixty-two outside loops at Omoha —was responsible for national air race officials at Cleveland deciding to break their rule and employ a woman stunt flier.

GRAIN DEALERS HIT BY FEDERAL BOARD

Old Feud Flares Up as Stone Hurls Charges at Group. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 4.—The old feud between the grain trade and the federal farm board has flared up again. This time the break brings a definite end to hopes by the board that under its new chairman a better feeling could be developed on both sides. Clashes between the board and the grain traders were frequent when Alexander Legge was chairman. His attacks upon the traders, couched in his picturesque language, were vigorous and pointed. When James C. Stone, handsome, good-natured Kentuckian, became chairman, it appeared there would be a change. Stone was known to believe that the traders, many of whom he knew and liked personally, could not be quite as bad as Legge’s harsh language would indicate. Stone has taken some time to change his mind, but now he has lashed out with the charge that the traders are trying to wreck the board, that they exert pressure intended to embarras the board, and that the traders are attempting, for their own ends, to keep the farmers from organizing. In order to discredit the board, Stone said, the traders are trying to turn against the board the very farmers whom the board sought to help.

PENSION BUREAU’S - TRANSFER IS MADE

Becomes Part of Veterans’ Administration as New Year Opens. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, July 4.—The ancient and honorable bureau of pensions—established on March 3, 1833, as a part of the war department, and since 1843 a part of the department of the interior —becomes the pension service of the veterans’ administration with the beginning of the new fiscal year. Sentiment attaches to the passing of the” pension bureau, not only among its 632 employes (all but eighty in Washington), but among the hundreds of thousands of men and women who, through the bureau, have received the gratitude of the republic in the form of pension checks. Links Past, Present Since 1790, the bureau and the agencies that preceded it in this field, had paid out to the veterans of all wars, their widows, and other pensioners. $8,292,558,473. Its day-by-day routine links the present with the distant past. It still pays pensions to seven widows and one daughter of men who fought in the War of 1812. Up to less than two years ago it was paying a pension to Owen Thomas Edgar, last survivor of the war with Mexico. Until 1906 it paid a pension to the widow oi a soldier of the revolution. Numbers Dwindle Thirty years ago the pension bureau was sending monthly checks to 745,000 veterans of the Civil war. Today these venerable former soldiers are down to 40,000, and are dying at the rate of more than 1,000 a month. Pensioned widows of Civil war veterans also are decreasing, and now number about 155,000. “If history repeats itself,” says the bureau, “at least a quarter of
