MONDAY. JULY 23. 1*34 JOHN DILLINGER—DECEASED lOHN DILLINGER is dead. ** He died in the manner in which he and the nation expected h:m to die, except that he did not have the opportunity to take any lives. Federal trapped the Mooresville desperado last night as he walked from a theater in Chicago with two women and two pistols. Dillinger and his companions had bf en viewing a melodrama of crime and left the theater as a death row was being portraved No doubt Dilhnger had quite a kick out of his evening. Without doubt he sat with the two women as the hero-criminal ot all time, probably petting a laugh out of the antics of other criminals as ielated on the screen. Bn*, if he laughed, it was not for long Because when he left the theater, the federal men closed in. Revolvers were pressed against the criminal’s bc!y and triggers pulled. It was the end. Federal authorities and all other police officers who worked diligently and honestly on the Dillinger case are to be commended. Their task, as far as John Dillinger is concerned, is completed. In completion of that task they have set an example that should stand as a warning to every criminal in the nation. No matter how clever any criminal is. the end is sure to come. Some end up in the penitentiary. Others complete their careers in the same manner as Dillinger—dead, shot by the men whom they sought to outsmart. Melvin Purvis, in charge of department ot justice agents in Chicago, has cleared himself of the criticism that was heaped upon h:m after the Little Bohemia incident in April whi’n Dillinger and his gang shot their way out of a lodge in Wisconsin. That episod® cost the life of a federal agent and an innocent CWA worker. With Dillinger gone, what will become ot his gang? Many men claim that Dillinger was the brains of the criminal layout but was not the toughest of the crowd. John Hamilton, branded often as the Toughest of the crew, still is at liberty. And that situation presents the nation's police officers with another problem. They still have to clean up the gang. The sooner that is done, the better it will be for every one concerned. John Dillinger is dead. The nation’s great job now is to clean out forever his ilk—the men and women whose daily lives are a continual menace to law-abiding citizens. LESSON ON MANNERS MUCH as we may deplore the philosophy of the Russian Reds, we must admit that the tads who wear their shirts outside of their pants do get ideas now and then. The latest is a stunt to teach the proletariat how to behave itself in public. On the edge of Moscow there is a vast amusement park—the Park of Culture and Rest, a sort of glorified Coney Island. Soviet authorities have been bothered by people who get drunk there, commit acts of rowdyism and in other ways disturb the peace. So they have started putting up life-sized wax figures ot the offenders in public places, with signs telling just what the guilty parties did. And while this might tend to make the park look queer, it docs seem to be an idea with possibilities. You can see for yourself how it would work in this country. On the edge of the picnic grounds, for instance. you could put up a nice effigy ot a banjo-eyed moron and hang trom its neck a sign reading something like this: -Here's Luke McGlcok. who scatters paper, banana peelings, partly consumed doughnuts and cigar butts ail over the place where people cat picnic dinners. Luke is a dope.” And then, on some bench along the path, you could have the figures ot a pasty-faced sheik and his red-fingernailed sweetie, with a sign along this line: “These halfwits think a public place like this is a swell place to engage in necking. They have been locked up.” And b\ the roadside, a cigar-chewmg maniac with a steering wheel in ms hands, and a sign like this: "This is Joe Doakes. who thinks any speed below fifty nuics an hour is too slow, and who specializes in crashing traffic lights. He has been liquidated." All of this prooably sounds pretty odd. Yet it is exactly the sort of tiling that is being tried out in the Moscow park, and it is far from being the dizziest idea the Muscovites nave had lately. Give a few’ of these public pests a chance to see what they look life to innocent bystander. and they might start getting wise to themselves. And if they did. our parks and highways and recreation spots would be much pleasanter places. PROUD OF THEIR JOBS nPHE Tennessee Valley authority has put *■ Muscle Shoals to work for the people, has two more dams under way. has launched a program of erosion control and reforestation, has cut electric rates in half in much of the south, and has furnished yardstick for electric rates throughout the country. It has done something else of perhaps greater significance. It has proved that patronage can be kept out of a great government enterprise, and that this policy gives efficiency. The TWA project is so close to the President's heart that he announced it even before his inauguration. He knew politics well enough to know that il this project he loved was to succeed, politics must be kept out of it. He appointed as directors in charge of the
TV A three men chosen solely on the basis of th?ir ability regardless of their politics and place of residence: Dr. Arthur Morgan, president of Antioch college Ohio, and a noted engineer, a man who knows humanity as well as dam sites; David E. Lilicnthal, utility commissioner of Wisconsin, who knew the utility game oetter than many utility operators themselves; Dr. Harcourt Morgan, president of the University of Tennessee and advocate of the distribution or industry in the countryside. None of these men were politicians, and they have not behaved as politicians. They have appointed men just as they were appointed themselves—solely on the basis of their fitness for the job. Today, the TVA nas nearly 10.000 people on its pay roil. They are a capable, hardworking cicw. proud of their jobs and happy, thrilled with the knowledge that they are pioneering. building something new and fine for America. FIFTY-SEVEN VARIETIES TF the theory of NR A is correct that higher *- wages will increase purchasing power and speed recovery, NRA should give more than casual attention to the southern wage differentials approved in its codes. These differentials greatly reduce southern labor's purchasing power. In a tabulation of the lower southern wage scale in 400 codes, it is revealed that they range from nothing to more than 30 per cent below northern wages. In the wholesale and retail trades the practice has been to permit a differential of SI weekly "in favor” of the south, a spread of 6 to 8 per cent. In household moving and storing, for example. a northern wage of 45 cents an hour has been set while southern workmen get 35 cents an hour in the same business, more than 20 per cent less. Southern dry cleaners get 20 cents an hour while northern cleaners draw from 27 to 35 cents an hour, a spread ranging to more than 50 per cent. It is difficult to find the economic justification for such wide sectional differentials. It is even more difficult to find justification for fifty-seven varieties of differentials. “OVERPRODUCTION*’ Representatives of women’s clubs visited families in three West Virginia cities —Charleston. Wheeling and Clarksburg—to get first-hand information on milk consumption. The survey covered 4,888 persons, including 2,317 children. It revealed an average per capita consumption of less than one-half pint of milk daily. A diet to provide the minimum standard of nutrition recently prepared by the United States agricultural department's home economics bureau specifies at least one and onehalf pints daily. Why aren't the men and women and children in these West Virginia cities drinking the amount ot milk essential to their health? In some cases, it may be lack of knowledge of how to balance a diet. But the obvious answer in most cases is: They can't afford it. Proof is found in these other statistics gathered by the women's clubs: In Charleston, the average family interviewed consisted of 5.51 persons with an average income of $26.27 a week; in Wheeling, 5.42 persons with $17.91; in Clarksburg, 6.07 persons with $25.59. These facts arc respectfully called to the attention ol those who think the milk industry is suffering from “overproduction.’’
FAULTS AND BENEFITS OL'OPLE who enjoy living in a democracy might as well make up their minds to the fact that democracy’s shortcomings have to be accepted right along with its benefits. During the last few days we have been getting a first-hand and rather frightening picture of one of democracy’s worst draw-backs—knock-down and drag-out industrial warfare. Naturally, this has caused a great many of us to demand that some way be found to make impossible a repetition of the kind of thing that has been happening in San Francisco. That's a perfectly understandable viewpoint. But we need to recognize the fact that this sort of thing, costly and destructive as it is, is nevertheless one of the things we bargain for when we pin our faith to the democratic processes. Look abroad for example, and you get an understanding of this. Russia has no strikes, for instance. It has no strikes because there is not, strictly speaking. any*one for the workers to strike against except themselves. Technically, at least, they own the country, lock, stock and barrel. They can't have a dispute with the management because they arc the management. That's one way to make strikes impossible —to liquidate the employing class. Italy is another land in which strikes are unknown. The Italian worker can't strike because. if he does, he strikes against a government which will have no hesitation in bringing its iron hand down on his neck. He is no longer a free citizen; he is a cog in a machine, and in that capacity he takes what is handed him—and likes it. Under a democracy, neither of these solutions is possible. There must remain, then, an amount of freedom within which either the employer or the worker can, if he feels justified, precipitate industrial war; and there is no way of making this impossible except by sliding off in the direction of either Fascism or Communism—which, of course, means abandoning democracy. All of which doesn't make it any easier to endure or to condone the kind of thing San Francisco has had to experience. But it does help us to see the kind of deep water we get into when we talk about making strikes impossible. We have a demoerrey and we mean to keep it—and our strikeless millennium will just have to wait until the whole industrial field is pervaded by the justice, the public spirit and the sense of responsibility, w hich are. ultimately. democracy's greatest safeguards.

Liberal Viewpoint BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES
Editor's Note —This is the last of four articles by Harry Elmer Barnes, Ph. D. on the causes, course and immediate results of the uprising in Germany. a a a TWO interesting questions naturally will occur to close observers of events in Germany. One is: What would have happened if Hitler had failed to suppress the revolt of June 30? The other is: What is the rational way out for Germany? The first question can be answered in rather summary fashion—at least in so far as essentials are concerned. If Hitler had not succeeded in putting down the rebellion, a bloody civil war most certainly would have resulted. Those involved in the re-volt-representing the extreme conservative and the extreme radical wings of the original Nazi movement —could not have for long harmonized or reconciled their aims. A fight to the finish between them would have been inevitable, with many other German factions undoubtedly joining in the free-for-all. It might, indeed, have come to a show’down between reactionary elements on the one hand, and the radical groups on the other. Any fundamental analysis ot Germany’s future must reckon with the fact, whether we like it or not, that capitalism is in its terminal stage in Germany even more decisively than in the United States. nan THE older and relatively productive industrial capitalism in Germany has been subordinated to and gutted by finance capitalism just as it has in our country’. There is little prospect of a return to the dominion of industrial capitalism. Indeed, the latter probably is considered too much weakened by financial robbery to survive for any considerable period of time. Yet, some considerable reconstruction of German capitalism under conservative auspices is certainly not out of the picture, whether the leadership be that of Hitler or of the restored monarchy. Capitalistic rehabilitation tinder conservatism probably will be directed by Hjalmer Schacht of the Reichsbank, and Kurt Schmitt, the present minister of economics. Their program can be predicted pretty clearly. They are likely to demand debt, readjustment and refunding; better foreign relations in order to remove boycotts and foreign discriminations against the importation of German goods; the adoption of a more sane attitude towards the Jews and disarmament in order to promote better feeling abroad; and the further development of the home mkrket through a continuation of the elaborate expenditures for public works. n n tx THE outlook for any such capitalistic program in Germany, however, efficiently executed, is not very bright. Excessive German borrowing since the World war has jeopardized German credit and threatened bankruptcy. Further lavish expenditures for public works in order to stimulate purchasing power at home is likely to mean financial disaster. Germany’s possibilities in the foreign market are limited strictly as a result of the competition of other countries and the exhaustion of the old imperialistic opportunities for the export of capital and goods. Hence the admitted efficiency of the rationalization of German industry under capitalism can achieve no permanent and lasting benefits. Whatever our personal prejudice, if we are honest and informed we probably must admit that the only ultimate solution of Germany’s economic problem is to be found in the realization of mass consuming power under the state ownership of industry and the state control and distribution of the social income. The profit system hardly can turn the trick.
Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL
ALERT Boris Skvirsky, counselor ot the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, heard considerable commotion recently in front of his embassy. Voices shrilled. "Hey. let me have a ride!’’— "What is it. anyhow?”—‘‘Can I Lake a trip in that bus?” Many feet pattered about the embassy driveway. Counselor Skvirsky peered out of the door, expecting almost anything. What he saw was a long, curiously shaped, three-wheeled automobile, gleaming with plateglass windows, bright blue paint and nickel. It surrounded by a crowd of inquisitive boys. On the side of this odd-looking car was the word “DYMAXION.” At the sight. Counselor Skvirsky seemed not at all astonished. He merely w'avcd his arms at a small, gray-headed man who sat at the wheel and shouted: “At the chancery! At the chancery!” The gray-headed man nodded, released a brake. The “Dymaxion” shot noiselessly up Sixteenth street on its three heavily tired wheels amid the pursuing cries of its youthful admirers. The gray- headed man was Mr. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the “Dymaxion,” who brought the car here from New York for a demonstration to Soviet officials. He stopped at the chancery and took tw'o of them for a spin. The Russians were enchanted. "It rides like a dream.” said one. “Marvelous.” remarked the other, as the “Dymaxion,” living up to its name, turned deftly on its own space and snaked its way back to a seemingly impossible parking space. Inventor Fuller smiled delightedly. “This car,” he explained, “has been bought by Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia orchestra. I'm taking it out to Chicago to show it at the wwld fair.” ‘ The Soviet embassy wants twm of these cars,” he said. “They w r ant to ship them to Russia. And I have fifty orders for the machine from other people.” NOTE—Some things Inventor Fuller claims his automobile can do; Make more than twen-ty-five miles on a gallon of gas; speed 105 miles an hour; seat eight passengers; park any place and turn on its own space. a tt n KINDLY Minister Marc Peter, the now beardless envoy of Switzerland, yesterday left for New York in his automobile. He sails Saturday—car and all—to spend the summer amid his native Alps. Before leaving towm. Envoy Peters carefully packed away his amazing collection of rare books (one of the most valuable of its kind in the world). The volumes require delicate handling and the dampness of a Washington summer is a source of much worry to the collector. “I love these books.” Minister Peter told a friend recently, “but sometimes I feel I can not travel at all on account of them. When I moved into my new> home here—oh la la!” And he shrugged and shook his head. It took more than eight hours’ continuous work to pack the rare volumes into forty cases. Afterward, the Swiss diplomat fell asleep and slept twelve hours. NOTE; During Minister Peter's 'absence, handsome Louis Micheli, who has just retumea from a trip through the Adirondack?, New England and Canada, will act as charge d'affaires. Prisoners in Joliet (111.) prison will learn to fly with wingless airplanes. The man who thought of that idea must have been taught to swim on land.

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. J lake your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to £~>o words or less.) a a a CRITIC OF NUDISM TAKEN TO TASK By M. n. Pratt. Earle Bailey must be of that delightful generation whose blood reached the boiling point at the sight of an ankle! His statement that nudist camps are altogether as fearful as gangland is superb. If he has visited a bathing beach in the last forty years, and stayed long enough to recover from his first fainting fit, he must have realized that far from being pulsequickening, they are more often the scenes of bitter disillusionment. Who has not experienced the misfortune of seeing his or her flame of the moment, a Venus or Adonis in clothes, appear in a few' yards of jersey in an entirely different role? Those manly blue serge limbs were revealed in their natural covering, as nothing but a rather poor pair of legs, w’ith knees slightly knock or fairly bowed; that slim figure, so blithe and charming in a dance frock, exposed as bulging in the wrong places, and gangling where it should be rounded! Nudism is a sure cure for those easily concealed (in clothes) physical faults —avoirdupois and scraw'niness. I am told the splendid physiques of modern German youth are the direct result of nudism. When their elders first went nudist the young Germans saw the full tragedy of too many w'iener-schnitzels and too much lager beer. They vowed they never would present such sorry figures to their children, and promptly went in for sysical culture and body building. The scenes presented in the average nudist camp are the antithesis of orgiastic. One may see groups of earnest persons swimming, hiking, exercising, trying hard to build for themselves good, hardy bodies. Nudism exposes the entire body to the sun. The sun is one of the best doctors in the w’orld. A nudist is not apt to be tubercular, arthritic or rheumatic. Mr. Bailey asks if there is some great power back of nudism which makes editors fear to attack it. Why indeed should editors attack anything that is clean and healthy, that promotes good looks and stamina? Perhaps Mr. Bailey -is afraid that some summer day, strolling all unwitting near a nudist camp, a group of these dreadful creatures will assail him, divest him of his triple weight longies and, horrors, uncover that tattoo mark he has been trying to conceal all these years.
DOUBTS MOVIES’ POWER TO MENACE MORALS Bv M. I. T. All this ardent talk of censorship sounds like the homely tale of the older sister smacking her saucy little brother. The original blame for the theater, and the critics after viewing current Broadway flops seem to think there is much blame, rests with the church. The theater grew out of the church’s salestalk in the form of spectacular passion plays which brought the gullible citizenry from miles for an aesthetic thrill of sorts. But the church and the theater have always eyed each other warily. When a Mr. O'Neill wrote "Strange Interlude” and other disturbing plays, the church was the first to register an astonished and outraged howl. This year the same Mr. O'Neill favored the stage with a magnificent but highly religious flop. The burden of his sms was forgotten. T doubt very much if Mr. O'Neill
THE END OF THE TRAIL
Explains Postal Employes' Status
By I'm Telling You. A news item carried recently in all Indianapolis papers stated that some fourteen employes of the local postoffice had received “promotions,” and listed those w’ho w'ere “promoted.” According to the published version, this story was released supposedly to the press by authority of local postofficc officials. The manner in which the article w'as worded W'as very misleading, and gave the public the general impression that so many regular appointments were made from the substitute lists. I wish to correct this false impression, as such is far from being the case. The only “promotions” made were of regular employes of some three or more years standing who were advanced from one grade to a higher one. They still are doing the same work, but were given a recognition of hours of service rendered, which was denied them by the provisions of the economy act. Asa matter of fact, there are a great many substitutes who have a sufficient number of hours of service to entitle them to these higher ratings or “promotions,” if they ever are appointed as regulars, but they still are working for substitute wages and under
has ever, as it was charged at the time of “Strange Interlude” and “Mourning Becomes Electra.” knotted his frenzied brain for new ways to stir the libidinous pangs of the multitude. It seems to me that the multitude always has found a way to stir its own passions, sans theater. The only movie w-hich ever realiy impressed to action in my childhood was “Robin Hood.” I broke two windows practicing with my little bow and arrow. I think that the current movie menace stands about there. Art, it has been said frequently by the more erudite, stands on its ow : n merits. Censorship thus should do away with Mae West as a rather poor serious artist with a misguided conception of her own ability to writ- scripts for herself. Woe be it unto art if the censor ever gets his pencil sharpened for unmoral (not moral) touches in the cinema and theater. Honest, robust Shakespeare would be bounced out of the schools in much the same way as the Nazis massacred Jewish literature. The bonfires doubtless would blaze merrily, only adding discomfiture to the citizenry n the present heat. tt tt B LAW ENFORCEMENT AND BEER SALES Bv M. David This is in no sense a defense of the Franklin township constable or his methods in enforcing the law which forbids the sale of alcoholic beverages to those under the age of 21. The constable was asked to resign by the prosecutor and the county commissioners because he arrested bartenders and owners of so-called brer joints who sold to minors. Your paper stated a few days ago that the constable sent decoys into places and when they had purchased beer or other intoxicating liquor, he arrested the offenders and arraigned them before the justice of the peace of the township for which he is serving. The authorities were horrified that this constable, who receives remuneration only in the. event he secured convictions, was making &r-

handicapped substitute conditions. There has been no expansion of the postal service and there has not been a single substitute appointed as a regular in this or any other postoffice, so far as I can ascertain. It is true that the postmaster-general several weeks ago announced through the newspapers that a program of general improvement featuring a greatly increased and more frequent service to postal patrons was forthcoming, and that this action would advance thousands of substtutes to regular appointments and employ many additional substitutes. This evidently was only a Farley myth, because the trend of the postoffice department under Mr. Farley has been curtailment, and never expansion of service to the users of the mails. Why Mr. Farley released such a story to the press is a mystery. It could have been for the purpose of promoting a political ballyhoo of prosperity for the 1934 Democratic election campaign. Be not deceived, Mr. and Mrs. Public, by such press releases and reports. If and when regular appointments are made, we will give proper credit. But do not believe all that you read especially with a New York politician as post-master-general and an election coming in the near future.
rests in different parts of the city and with the use of paid stool pigeons. It seems the thing not to do; however, federal prohibition agents during the last decade were guilty of more reprehensible acts than this constable and received little criticism. The Indianapolis police department uses methods which make this constable's mode of procedure look entirely respectable. All this is unimportant in view of the fact that our sons and daughters are being sold intoxicants without interference from the authorities whose sworn duty would compel them to follow’ the example of this lowly corstable. How important it is for the authorities to recover from their lethargy, forcibly was brought to me a short time ago by a case tried in juvenile court. In response to questions propounded to her by the judge, a 12-year-old girl testified that two 25-year-old men took her and a 16-"year-old girl friend to a beer jcint operated by a well known Democratic politician on the east si rf e, where beer w r as purchased for the girls, who became intoxicated, after which they were assaulted criminally and left at the home of one of the girls. To this day, nothing has been done to bring this saloon keeper into juvenile court despite the fact that the judge, the prosecutor and other attaches of the court heard and are familiar with the evidence given by the girls. It appears to me that the law enforcement officers of this country, who receive regular salaries, would do well to emulate the efforts of this constable.

DII.LINGER AND SOME BANKERS COMPARED Bv An Admirer of The Times. One of the daily papers had a picture of John Dillinger's favorite nephew taken on a tricycle Dillinger had given him for his birthday. A line under the picture said; "Some banker probably paid for this tricycle.” Why not have pictures of some of the handsome homes and fine cars owned by the head men of some of the closed banks, and say: "The poor people's money lost in these men's banks helped to pay for these homes and cars.” Dillingcr was not half as bad as some of the heads of the closed banks who still have plenty of money, and seem to flaunt their prosperity in the face of those who lost their all. People of the state are looking with interest to see if justice will be given these bankers. tt tt a OBJECTS TO BEER DRINKING ORDINANCE By Irate Citizen*. We wou.’d like to bring to the attention of the editor of The Time* the utter absurdity of the ordinance which our esteemed city council has passed and our equally esteemed mayor, Reginald Sullivan, has signed relative to the hours drinking establishments may operate. It is as much an invasion of a man’s rights as was prohibition, this business of telling him he must stop drinking at, la. m. or else drink at home with his wife. What is this anyway, a free country? The writers are interested in finding out. Can not The Times do something about this?
