TUESDAY. MARCH 1* IJS. OUR MEDIEVAL PRISONS O HOCKING conditions arc revealed in North Carolina pn*is following the story of two convicts tortured m shackles until it was necessary to ampu’ate their feet. A legislative Investigation shows that convicts are underfed, beaten and brutalized for minor infractions of rules. Some are forced to stand upright for eight or 10 hours a day on cold floors, their ankles bound m irons, their arms shackled to bars. The committee now is searching for graves Os alleged victims, said to have suffered d r ath at the hands o? prison guards. Such sadistic practices are not confined to North Carolina. "Hiey are ail too common in America s schools for crime, its city and countv ’ails, workhouses, chain gangs, reformatory and penitentiaries. Although denounced bv every intelligent criminologist, extreme punishment continues to be the rule in most institutions. Nearly four years ago the Wickersham commission found the whole American penal plant a giganfie failure. Each year through the 3°oo penal institutions of the country there passes a procession of nearly 400,000 persons. The great bulk of them come out unregenerate and dehumanized. Politics, favoritism, overcrowding, idleness, disease, poor food, poor medical care, poor ventilation, and torture have left their stamp upon them. Mounting crime statistics prove the failure of the old but undiscarded methods. Prison cruelty does not pay. It makes men into public enemies, inspires prison riots, degrades whole prison populations. “Instead of cowing one man.” said the Wickersham commission, “repressive rules and tortures ha\e aroused a hundred to greater hatred and discontent.” STANLEY REED '"I‘'HE legal .staff of the New Deal has long -*• needed strengthening. Appointment of Stanley Reed of Kentucky to be solicitor general, therefore, will be welcomed by those who desire the Administration to make a better showing in the courts. It is a non-political appointment, a deserved promotion for a man who proved his brilliance as an Bttomey and integrity as a public servant, first as general counsel for the Federal Farm Board undpr the Hoover Administration and later as head of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's legal division. The assistance which Mr. Reed gave to the Attorney General m the recent gold cases doubtless paved the way for his promotion. He will have many other opportunities to show his mettle at the judicial barricades, where the New Deal's fate ultimately may be decided. HELP FOR THE BLIND 'T'HE Federal Relief Administrator has said that persons on relief rolls actually detric distribution sytsems to take advantage of s want to earn their bread. The same applies to the blind. Unable to compete with the more fortunate, the sightless have had to gather the few left-over crumbs of chanty during the depression. The Randolph bill would enable many blind persons to support themselves. It provides that they may operate newsstands in all federal buildings and that they may borrow from the federal treasury funds necessary to purchase equipment, paying back the loan on easy terms. It also provides for a survey of private industry to discover possible employment for the sightless. No great sums are asked in the way of appropnations merely enough to carry the actual cost. Adequate safeguards exclude unqualified persons. This can be done better by law than by executive order. It is not an untried experiment. Such legislation has operated successfully in Canada for 15 years. Congress can render a needed service to the blind by approval of the Randolph bill which establishes a broad plan of rehabilitation applicable to all who can qualify. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE 'T'HF Bruno Hauptmann defense fund now contains enough money to relieve the state of New Jersey of the job of financing Hauptmanns appeals. On the same day that this announcement was made, it was also announced that Mrs. Hauptmann and a committee would make a tour of the Middle West to solicit more contributions. This bemg a free country, the right to solicit funds of this kind is inalienable—as is the right of any citizen to contribute. But It is a little bit hard to figure out just why under the sniping sun any one should feel mov ed to shell out in this case. The pr.ncipal reason, apparently, is a widespread feeling that a man sentenced to die on purely circumstantial evidence has not had quite a square deal. This theory is worth examining. Boiled down, it can mean nothing less than that a conviction is shaky unless it be bolstered by direct eve-witness testimony as to the major fast* at issue. And that is equivalent to saying that unless a murderer thoughtful enough to commit his crime in the presence of witnesses, it is impossible to pumsh him. Asa matter of fact, the testimony of eyewitnesses is frequently the most shaky and unreliable kind of testimony there is. Consider far a moment the two criminal cases of the post-war era in which the g~eatest number of paapte .became wonvinced that men had bean wrongfully convicted—tht Sarco-Vanzetti case and the Moa*ey-Biliings case. Whether Bacco and Vanzcttf were murderers or innocent men, it is an indisputable

fact that the very weakest part of the case against them was the evidence of eye-wit-nesses. If eye-witnesa testimony were as much superior to circumstantial evidence as some peopie believe, there never could have been the slightest question as to these men s guilt. And Mooney—where was the circumstantial evidence in his case? Practically all the important evidence against him came from eyewitnesses. The agitation about ms case would have died years ago if direct evidence were as foolproof as some Innocent souls suppose. This is not to say that these men were convicted through error. It is simply to point out that it is jilly to suppose that circumstantial evidence is in the nature cf things open to suspicion. On the contrary, it is apt to be the strongest kind of evidence there is. A human witness may lie, or be honestly mistaken, or be subject to hallucinations; a fingerprint, a bit of handwriting, a handful of bills, or a piece of wood can not. Contribute to the Hauptmann defense fund if you wish. But don’t do it on the ground that it is wrong to convict a man on circumstantial evidence. NO PLACE FOR POETS of patriotic will to serve his country U and constituents, Poet John Steven McGmarty last January left his rose garden on the slope of the Verdugo Hi’ls of Southern California and came to Congress. Today his once lyrfcj soul reeks gall, his !y r * is stilled, his voice breaks forth in profane prose. The noise of Blanton of Texas and others got on his nerves. His masterpiece of statecraft, the Townsend plan bill, hangs askew. Bonus, pink slip, utility lobbies lobbied him groggy. Worst of all are the home folks who send him torrents of letters reminding him of campaign promises. Poet McGroarty is finished with Congress. There’s no longpr any doubt of it since he has just made public a letter he wrote to a constituent calling same a “jackass” with the invitation to “take two running jumps and go to hell." California will pray that her songbird has not been turned into a scolding raven. Perhaps when Mr. McGroarty returns to his land of poppies, orange trees and hot dog stands his banished muse will be waiting him. Congress. in truth, is not a place for poets—at least not his kind. THE FINAL JUDGES of 27 municipalities have now voted on construction of municipal electric distribution systems to take advantage of power from the Tennessee Valley Authority. The score stands 22 to five in favor of TVA, with 76.141 voting for municipal plants and 28,913 against. Chattanooga, latest large city to vote, stood 19.291 to 7901 in its favor. The President's power program is getting overwhelming approval of the public. While it has met obstacles in the courts, the almost 3-to-l verdict of the voters in its favor—and they are the final judges—is adequate assurance that lawsuits, propaganda campaigns and misleading appeals to “widows and orphans” will not in the end thwart public determination to have a New Deal in the electrical field. \ THR OLD RRA PASSES TI7"HEN Kipling wrote that the east is cast ’ ’ and the west is west, and never the twain shall meet, it may have been true as gospel. But it doesn't seem to be true today, and proof of the matter is to be found in a little news story recently printed concerning 11-year-old King Ananda of Siam. The young king been schooled in Europe. for one thing, nd has conceived a boyish passion for fire engines. One of his first acts, he says, will be o see to it that Siam has a first-class fire department. Then he announced that his favorite picture books are “Three Little Pigs,” “Felix the Cat” and “Mickey Moiise." The ancient and mysterious east must have changed beyond measure, when the reigning monarch of S'am goes in for fire engines and Walt Disney! A HRRO IN PEACE RECORDS of the United States Army list a great number of heroes, and nearly all of them are men who faced great peril on the field of battle. But there are a few who performed their deeds of heroism in time of peace, and one of these was James Hildebrand. who died in Atlanta the other day at the age of 80. Hildebrand w’as one of the buck privates who. in 1901, volunteered to aid Dr. Walter Reed and his associates in the research that made it possible to bring yellow fever under control. The scene was Havana, w’here yellow fever was a'most disrupting the army. Some of these men slept in beds just vacated by men who had died of yellow fever, wore the dead men's clothing, ate out of their utensils, and made every other possible effort to be infected. The others lived in the most hygienic surroundings. but submitted to bites by feverinfected mosquitoes. In t’-’is way it was learned definitely that the mosquito transmits the infection, and control of the disease was made possible. Few men in our Army's history dared more to accomplish greater ends than did this man Hildebrand and his buddies. BENEFITS OF DISCUSSION 'T'HE three-cornered debate between Senator Long, General Johnson, and Father Coughlin may have all the aspects of a firstrate vaudeville show, but it is really performing a useful social function in our lives. H. G. Wells, distinguished English author, pointed this out when he landed in New York the other day. "America. I think, is in a strategic position for economic and social experimentation." said Mr. Well*, “and I think these debates are part of that experiment.” That is a sensible viewpoint. We don’t know yet just how our New Deal is going to work out, and the various policies and the theories at issue will stand all the public discussion we can give them. By promoting such discussion, these three men are helping to make it possible for us to decide wisely. A number of people who favor that “share-the-wealth” plan wonder also if there isn’t some way the police cam clamp down on those street beggam

As I See It BY GEN. HUGH S. JOHNSON

CHICAGO. 111., March 19 —A new NIRA. The lawful span of the Blue Eagle on earth draws to a close. Either the power that blew the breath of life into his lungs will blow again or he expires by limitation. Nothing is before the Congress except conflict and confusion of counsel. No new law ought to be written unless this can be composed. Here are the vital questions: 1. Are we one people in commerce or are we 43 peoples? If the congressional answer is ”48 ” —let the bird die, 2. Is interstate commerce art act of manufacture or sale that affects economic relations among the states? If so Congress should plainly say so or give up NRA. 3. Is our rule of regulation of commerce, “unregulated competition” or is it “supervised co-operation”? 4. Have we a definite labor policy? If so, let us say what it is and apply it. If not, let us cease the impossible task of trying to enforce a pure abstraction. 5. If we are not willing to abolish sweatshop less than living wages, and unconscionable hours of labor, let s say so and stop the hypocrisy about "protecting the little fellow.” If a sweatshop paid code wages for code hours, it wouldn't be a sweatshop. If we don't want it to do so—all right, but let's not call it a “little fellow.” Let’s call it a sweatshop and bring it back along with child labor and all the other abominations we have tried to get rid of in the past two years. That's all there is to the NRA controversy. It failed because those questions were never answered. It won’t work unless they are answered and, if they are answered, you could write the whole act on a single sheet of legal cap paper and there would be very little for either the court or the present vast sprawling organization of NRA to do. You could run the whole show with fewer than 1000 people to cost less than $3,000,000 and if it takes temerity to make this positive assertion—well, this is something I know about.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

CHAMPAGNE and Turkish sweetmeats dipped in honey and attar of roses added flavor to the reception given by the Ambassador of Turkey and Mme. Munir. The huge embassy, which once was the mansion of a bottle-top king, bleamed with lights and flowers. Mme. Munir, in a black gown trimmed with cloth of gold, received her guests in the large drawing room on the second floor. Most of the diplomatic corps was on hand, eagerly nibbling sandwiches stuffed with cheese and water-cress, and pouring out punch or champagne. The little bar in the Marble Room was jammed with thirsty customers —although good Mohammedans took only casual sips of water. a a a TURKISH and Bulgarian armies may glare threateningly at each other across Balkan frontiers, but harmony prevails between Bulgar and Turk in Washington. Hospitable Ambassador Munir Bey cordially shook hands with Bulgaria’s Charge d’Affaires, M. Petroff TchomakofT, as he arrived at the party with his handsome 'English wife. "Delighted, delighted,” he murmured, bowing politely. M. Petroff, enchanted with Turkish honey cakes and orange punch, remained until a late hour discussing the Greek revolution. He feels it was pretty much of a flop. nan DIPLOMATS have no hesitancy in letting one know when colleagues are “stealing their stuff,” as the saying goes. Last week, Persian Minister Djalal pointed out that the caviar served by the Russians at their party for Efrem Zimbalist wasn't Russian at all, but Persian. Yesterday, at the Turkish party, Minister Gonzalez-Zeledon of Costa Rica took a couple of swallows of coffee, smacked his lips and said: "This isn’t Turkish coffee. It's Costa Rican coffee prepared in the Turkish way.” Someone assured him it was really Turkish coffee, but Envoy Gonzalez remained unconvinced. He repeated to friends: “No! No! That is not Turkish coffee. It comes from Costa Rica, I'm sure, but it’s prepared in the Turkish way.” a a a FROM New York to attend the reception came Orhan Halid Erol Bey, Turkish Consul in Manhattan. A symphony in brown —brown tie, suit, shoes and handkerchief —he chatted with the Chilean Consul from Baltimore. Mr. Sigren, laughingly assured questioners he is no relation to Leon Errol, noted comedian. Both consuls found much to talk about: Chile, Turkey, music (which they both love), New York theaters, Huey Long, Balkan uprisings and Washington. Monsieur Saint, the French attache (whose lovely blond wife is Chilean), enthused about Chile. “Yours is a beautiful country.” he said to Consul Sigren. “I visited it last year.” “I like Baltimore, too,” said Consul Sigren. “Yes . . . but come to New York,” said Consul Orhan. LEVELING WAR AND PEACE THE McSwain bill to eliminate war profits will probably come to a vote during this session of Congress. It would authorize the President to freeze prices at levels as of a date prior to the declaration of war, and in that way—according to its sponsors—would prevent profiteering. Congressman Frank L. Kloeb of Ohio pointed out the other day that such measure would also make the transition from war to peace less of a strain on the country's economic fabric. The close of a war, he remarks, has always heretofore brought a period of falling prices, with a resultant depression. Under the McSwain bill, he argues, “the nation will move from peace to war and from war to peace without serious disjointment of the economic structure.” Anything that would cut the traditional post-war crashes would certainly be a step in the right direction. New York is investigating its Central Park Casino, which charges 40 cents for a cup of coffee. The move is believed to be sponsored by bums who find it difficult to make 40-cent touches. Gen. Hugh Johnson warns the United States against any policy which would have the “slightest chance of involving us in a war in the Orient.” So don't complain if your shirts came back buttonless from the laundry. Maybe not for a century, but some day, someone will successfully high jump 7 feet 2 inches, a California athlete prophesies. Wish we'd have measured ours the other day, when that auto honked behind us. If the job too arduous, let's hope those New York board of education men investigating why boys play hockey get a chance now and then to knock off for a round of golf.

Will the guy who let Junior down last week please jack him up again so he may read this letter. The writer often wondered, since he heard from Junior, or “Simple Simon” which he should have named himself, what sort of an ape he resembles and from what he originated. It has been said that man originated from monkeys, but I don't believe it. If this man Junior had originated from monkeys he would have some brain and intelligence. I fought with the Ninety-first division on the Flanders front in Belgium and I'm sorry Junior was not old enough to be with us. We needed men like him, when those clouds of gas came over, to blow it back. Yes, we veterans demand our bonus and we are not asking for something for nothing. We not only worked for it, we fought for it, we starved for it, we shed blood for it. We slept in mud holes with our hobnails on for it and yet we are shown sympathy by being called whiners and squawkers, etc. It is a shame the combat veterans had to fight for the Stars and Stripes under which such people like Junior, or Simple Simon, live. Remember, Junior, 20 years from now you can have your poll f ax exempted. Let him down again. a a a READER VIEWS BROUN AS PHONEY SILK-STOCKING’ By William Murphy. The roaring caption appearing in one of your articles in the views of the people, signed by “A Reader” and asserting that the Ku-Klux Klan had better get busy was a shot, no doubt, at Father Coughlin, the only man with any outstanding ability in the country who is devoting his talents to the welfare of the people as a whole and not for the favored few as is generally the case. How any man or woman could bring up such an issue at a time when the country is in such a turmoil and against such a man who has done more to unite the people of all religious beliefs than any other man or body of men in history is hard to associate with reason unless he or she is still imbued with that old spirit of hatred and bunk which marked that short but heated era just a short time back. Those Siamese twins, Broun, the Park-av Socialist, and Pegler, the Waldorf-Astoria cake-eater, both high moguls of ponderous bombast and smug hypocrisy, also had their innings with the Father. The former made the statement that the priest was tiresome and boring. Well, coming from Mr. Broun that assertion was something. Anybody who reads that column he clutters the newspapers up with will certainly have to compliment Mr. Broun on his unadulterated gall and his astonishing nerve. And to think that he receives good money for it, this phoney silk-stocking savior of the working people. This beefy individual is certainly a fine example of a dual nature. For years he shed copious tears over the plight of the humble proletariat and preached the doctrine of socialism with great zeal and fervor. Since he has been mingling with the

DON’T EVER DO THAT!

Legion Bonus Stand Rapped

By Allen M. Overton. Some veterans and some politicians by organization and ballyhoo are trying to speak for the majority of the voters in regard to the immediate payment of the bonus. But to say that they represent the majority of the voters, is, in my opinion, neither sensible nor true. Granted that the American Legion voted in favor of immediate payment, nevertheless it must be borne in mind that in addition to the veterans within the organizations that were opposed, there are also many veterans who refrain from affiliating themselves with that organization due to the fact that they have not confined their efforts to caring for the disabled men, but are doing all in their power to get as much as they can, as quickly as they can for a small percentage of our population who happened to be in the Army during the war. There are millions of voters who do not wish to lose what savings and insurance they have due to inflation, or to have taxes in-

social elite, however, his tune has taken a right about face. Brother Pegler was honest enough to admit that since the Johnson-Long-Coughlin fight has gotten under way these pseudo feature WTiters and columnists wir not .have to stay up and burn midnight oil testing their very ordinary mental capabilities to the breaking point stewing up another pot of hash and decomposed bunk for the public to absorb. nun CRITICS OF PRESIDENT URGED TO BE PATIENT Bt Jimmy Cafnuro#. There is always time for refaction. And it always behooves men of action to take time out to think a bit and consider. Theie also is a psychological and critical time for action. But the men who act most wisely and mast unerringly and most confidently, are the men who have reflected. Sometime, some of the potential malcontents and backbiters and calamity howlers of this great land should reflect ..." A nation so great and fraught with such great possibilities and a nation which is surging to the zenith of its power, which has been blessed with giant hearts and giant intellects in its darkest hours will not so easily, as the wonderful and simple Lincoln put tit, “Perish from the earth.” There is a man in this land who is about halfway through his task. When uninformed ladies and gentlemen and inflated college kids, and others of this ilk, call him a bore, and tiresome, and slander him. it is the most damnable type of anarchy. He is not a tyrant. Or a despot. But a benevolent, smiling, trying, simple man with a great heart and a backbreaking task. There was once another man. a giant in simplicity, who when he was halfway through his task was bitten at, and smitten at, and worried and nagged. And only after he was gone did the nation realize what he had done. In 1862 and early in 1863 the nation had little faith in this rough gem of a man. But in 1865 he had completed the major part of his task. The end crowns the work.

creased beyond the necessary burden we all must carry, in order to pay a bonus to any healthy veteran. In spite of the organized lobbying for the bonus, there appears to be a few members of Congress who have courage enough to consider such a bill on its merits and are opposing this gift of $2,000,000.000 to 3 per cent of the poppulation. I can not urge too strongly that your paper publish prominently the votes of members of Congress from this state and district on veteran legislation in general and the bonus in particular, as there is an increasing number of voters here nad elsewhere who are but waiting the next election to reward those members of Congress who have had the backbone to fight the unjustified and ruinous inflation prescribed by the Patman bonus bill and the additional taxes implied by the Legion bonus bill. Let me again urge that you let us know how our Congressmen vote.

So let it be with the benevolent leader, F. D. R. Do we want rampant, careening socialism? Or militant socialism? Or a type of Fascism? Do we want the fair fields and sunny pastures and fine parts of this land, with their historical and psychologic associations, wrecked and tom by revolution? Then, for God's sake, can’t we be a little more patient and have more faith in President Roosevelt? He is trying to preserve the nation as a capitalistic nation. Our whole course of history has been as a capitalistic nation. The systems are sick, the methods need repairing, but the nation is very much alive. a a a FINDS HUNT FOR POLITICAL JOB IS COMPLEX PROBLEM By Uncle Hiram. While I'm waiting for mv job I notice several other fellows hanging round the Statehouse and I still think I will get it, as I am supposed to be on the preferred list, but I’ve done made up my mind if something should happen I don't. I'm not going to get sore, I'll still be a Democrat. I saw Mr. Fry, the big beer boss who sells licenses and stamps and who has all these inspectors who will work for him. and as I came from his district and he is district chairman, it don't hurt none, although he said I did not do much in the last election and I'll admit I didn’t, cause I had a job then, but he treated me pretty good and I’m goin’ to see Dr. McHale. He seems'to be powerful, and then I'm told to see Mr. Bo Elder first and he will talk to McHale for me. By gosh, this inspector business 1 eeps you busy and it’s funny but I don't

Don't, know but what I’ll get Tom Quinn to put in a word for me, too, as he seems to know everybody and he’s awful nice. I went in his place and he says, “Hello, kid, what in the hell do you want?” Just like he had known me all his life, and you know he never saw me before.

I didn’t want to go, because I could not buy much, as my purse is getting low, but they didn’t mind and insisted on me going.
