SILVER CITY, N. M., Dec. 6.—Silver City has always been a rather isolated town. No main highway runs through it. Tourists don't go through Silver City on the way somewhere. If they come here at all, they have to come on purpose. Silver City has . about 5000 people. It is nearly always called merely “Silver.” It stands 6000 feet high in the mountains, in country that is as lovely as you've ever seen. It is not desert up here. Juniper and pinon trees dot the rolling slopes. It gets cold in the winter, and sometimes they have big snows. It is a wonderful climate for people with lung trouble. In fact Silver City's third source of income is health-seekers. Mining is first, then cattle, then health. We have met dozens of people here, but only one native. Everybody came from somewhere else, and everybody came for his health. Today they are all big and robust, and that one poor native is as sick as a dog. Silver City is an Army town—through Ft. Bayard, famous as an Army Indian post and now for its tubercular hospital. Yet Ft. Bayard is 10 miles away. Silver City is a mining town—through the great Chino copper mines, forming one of the biggest holes-in-the ground in the world. Yet this is 20 miles away. Silver City is a cattle town—but the cattle graze and the ranchers live scores of miles out over the hills. Silver City is all these things combined, and they blend to give it a character all its own. 2 2 ”

They've Been Around

It is extremely cosmopolitan. take trips to New York and Honolulu. Its Army people know the Orient and the tropics. Its mining engineers are familiar with the ways of South America. When they all return, they form a knowing group.

I'LL BUST IF I don't tell you about my latest adventure. Relieve it or not, the other day I had the luck to run into Pink Hall. Sure, the same Pink Hall who used to handle the snare drum of the old When Band, the greatest outfit that ever marched the streets of Indianapolis. It looked mighty good sitting down, too, especially on Saturday nights from 8 to 10:30 when the band gave its concerts al fresco from the top of the portico extending over the entrance to the When store. Gosh, that must have been close to 50 years ago. Mr. Hall, looking as fit as a fiddle, was 80 vears old last June —on the 13th, of all davs. He : was born in Rising Sun, of all places. Pink got his first drum—a present from his father—when he was 7 years old. He knew how to handle it right from the start. So well, indeed, that he was made the drummer of the Rising Sun Band— at the tender age of 7 mind vou. It's a God-given gift, you got to be born with it, says Mr. Hall. The reason Rising Sun had a band going at the time was because Pink's father had a hand in organizing it. You won't believe it, but it's the gospel truth —the Rising Sun Band was organized the night Pink was born. There never was a kid with a more farsighted father.

How It Started ’

Well, in 1873 when Pink was 13, the Hall family moved to Indianapolis. The Exposition on the old State Fair Grounds was going big at the time and. of course, it had a band—Bradshaw’s Band with Charlie Makepeace as its leader. - Arthur Jordan and Joe Cameron played the cornets and Ed Goth, the tenor horn. Mr. Platz handled the drums. but for some inscrutable reason in the divine scheme of things, he was indisposed when the Hall family blew into town. Sure, Pink Hall got the job and kept it until the Exposition folded up. After that came the Great Western Band with Joe Cameron at its head and, of course, Pink Hall playing the drum. Just about this time, circa 1875, John T. Brush, in company with some other men, opened a little oneroom clothing store on N. Pennsylvania St. Had Mr Brush been an ordinary man he might have called his store “Brush, Owen and Pixley,” but he wasn't that

Silver City has two nice movies, a good daily newspaper, the store windows are high-class and attractive, the Court House is new and paid for, the new hospital is one of the best and prettiest in the Southwest, and there is a new hotel that is marvelous. The lack of a first-class hotel has kept people away | from Silver City for years. But when this one was) started the local people leaped right in and helped | with it. It is called the Murray, and as a perpetual | hotel inhabitant I can say they don't make them | any nicer, | There is a little class distinction in Silver City. | Catholics and Protestants pack the home of a Jew: in which a popular young Chinese couple is being | married. Some ne'er-do-well with a good heart draws the biggest funeral in history. { When somebody gives a party it isn’t true that everybody in town attends. Only those who arrive while there's still room to jam inside the door are permitted.

Everybody Is Welcome

We have been in places where a stranger is welcome because he has brought money to town and is going to spend it. In Silver, a stranger is welcome simply because he's welcome. That's what isolation does for a town, and I hope that Silver City never gets itself on some main highway between two popular points, and sees so many of us tourists that it will get blase about it. The railroad, which carries mostly freight and ore, runs a passenger train (mixed up between freight cars) once a day. It comes from Deming, 55 railes away, and takes twice as long as it does in an auto. A friend of mine told ahout being on this train one day. There were only four passengers-—-a newspaper editor, a railroad inspector, a Negro preacher, and a cowboy playing a mouth organ. The first three were riding on passes. The only paying passenger of the day was the cowboy with the harmonica. That incident may not be exactly typical of Silver City, but I sort of like to shut my eyes and picture the scene anyway.

kind. Before he got ready to open his place he started to advertise. He bought a lot of space in the newspapers and filled it with the single word “When.” printed in bold black letters. Public curiosity was aroused to a fever pitch when all of a sudden, Mr. Bush changed the ad to read “What.” I guess he still had “Where” up his sleeve, but he didn't have to use | it because long before he got to that point, he had everybody in Indianapolis saying “When.” Mr. Brush's store got to be bigger and bigger and that's when he started the band. It was his pet and the biggest asset the store ever had. He scoured the country for talent and found some of it right in his] own store. Joe Cameron, for instance—the man who led the When Band—was a floor walker in Mr. Brush's| store. For that matter, Pink Hall was one of Mr. | Brush's clerks, but that was just a coincidence

Mr. | Brush would have picked Pink as his drummer in any | event—even had he lived in the Fiji Islands. ” n ”

Other Members of the Band

When the When Band was going good, it had Ed Timmons playing the flute and piccolo. The clarinets were handled by Densted (E flat), Ed Lennox, Henry | Schumacher, and the two Adolph Schellschmidts,| father and son. The sliding of the trombones was | handled by Louis Vogt and Ernest Clark who was so good that Damrosch picked him up. Frank Butler and the Clark boys, Ed and Bert, blew the cornets. To this day Bert leads the big Los Angeles band. {

Charlie Barr was good for the B bass and Joseph| Cain, an Englishman, the double bell euphonium | (baritone to you illiterates). Jud Hall (Pink's brother: and Louis Ostendorf played the altos. Which leaves! the last row to be accounted for—Otto Pfafflin and his bass drum and, of course, Pink Hall with all the! kids of Indianapolis following him. Bill Manson was! the drum major. In a pinch, Bill could handle an alto, too—a D major, Pink hasn't much use for modern drummers. Their handling of the sticks is mostly monkey business, he | says. It lacks sharpness and crispness. You can al-| ways tell a good drummer, says Pink, by the way people keep step with his beat. Pink says that when the! When Band was going good everybody on the sidewalk moved with the tempo of his drum. Pink's real name is Washington Elwood Hall, but he hasn't heard anybody call him that since the end! of the Civil War.

Mr. Simpson sighed this and then | found that he was too busy with his legal work to attend either the opening of Dewey campaign headquarters or the luncheon which followed. Others absent were Rep. Bruce Barton, Rep. James W. Wadsworth and Mrs. Ruth Pratt, New York Nationai Committeewoman, although she did send a telegram saying she hoped he would have a united New York delegation. The chances are that Mr. Dewey will have practically a unanimous vote of the New York delegation in early ballots. But some of these votes will be 100] per cent and some will be hard to hold 1n line.

Politics Blamed For Cleveland's Relief Bungling

By Clayton Fritchey

Times Special Writer

(CLEVELAND, Dec. 6.—To most Americans, Cleveland

The Federal Surplus Commndities Corp. has increased the assortment of

distribution in Ohio cities faced by

a relief problem,

out on order of the Cleveland relief administration.

foodstuffs available for free These workers are sacking rolled oats to be passed

is known as the nation’s “Sixth City,” but constantly recurring relief crisis are fast making it known as the

city of want amidst plenty.

With other Ohio cities, such as Akron, Toledo and Youngstown, Cleveland is one of the key cities of America’s “Ruhr” of steel, coal, autos and heavy industry. No section of the country has enjoyed a greater business

lift this year—particularly since the war—than this industrial area. Yet, with steel production at 90 per cent, with bank deposits near the all-time peak, with employment increased by 53,400 over last year, Cleveland today is in the middle of another avoidable and unnecessary emergency. Despite rumors to the contrary, Cleveland's needy are still eating, there has been no violence, and relief clinets are not conducting sitdowns at relief stations. Nevertheless, the situation is serious. By pulling a last-minute rabbit out of the hat, Cleveland has obtained $300,000 to see it through the rest of 1939, but $1,300.000 is needed. Unless that extra million is provided—and it can be made available only by a special session of the Legislature which Governor John W. Bricker refuses to call— Cleveland's relief families are soon going to eat one meal instead of three, while the rest of the city eats better than it has since the depression started. » 5 ”

EANWHILE, with single persons and childless persons told to attempt to establish credit with grocers or to ask relatives and friends to supply their needs, state and city officials have issued statements, each blaming the other for the present situation. Recently, in a 1500-word state-

ment, Governor Bricker asserted that Ohio cities must “quit running to Columbus and Washington to ask for more relief money.”

Yesterday Mayor Harold H. Burton countered with a 1100word statement declaring that “the need is for an adequate appropriation of state-collected local funds to bear part of the relief burden and adequate state legislation to permit counties or cities to raise the rest.”

The Mayor did not mention Governor Bricker by name, but it had been understood that the statement could be represented as a direct reply. The Mayor said: “Ohio needs state authorization of a pay-as-you-go relief program and the use of taxes other than those solely on real estate to meet it.

“Failure to meet the need currently and constructively means serious suffering to the needy and serious industrial handicap to Ohio. Cleveland needs action to fit the facts and will gladly cooperate with whatever state policy will meet those facts.”

The Mayor proposed as a solution to the relief crisis: Appropriation of state-collected taxes for 1939 and 1949 to meet 50 per cent of the load, permission of a 50 per cent majority vote in place of the 55 per cent or 65 per cent popular vote on levies for relief purposes, reimbursement of local subdivisions for payment of notes authorized

by them for poor relief in 1938

CHILD MUSEUM | Library Clients

Go ‘High-Brow’

THE INDIANAPOLIS READING public is going “high-brow.” Public Library figures for November show that 60 per cent of the books for last month were non-fiction, a new all-time high. L. L. Dickerson, head librarian, said that 10 years ago only about 41 per cent of the books borrowed

in behalf of the state, provision for additional sources of revenue for poor relief purposes and reenactment of permission to boards of education to give partial relief to indigent children. » u ”

HE story of Cleveland's frequent relief collapses has been headlined even in Germany, but the real story has never been told. The headlines say “financial failure,” but the fact is the failure has been baldly political. Relief has collapsed time and again, not because of lack of money to draw on, but because governors, legislators and pressure groups have deliberately punctured it for personal and political reasons, That a State would let its citizens go hungry when it had the money to feed them, is an idea which just doesn't make sense to people outside Ohio. It doesn't make sense in Ohio, either. Like other Ohio cities, Cleveland has been unable to obtain any State action without dramatizing its distress. During the last four years the State has come to the aid of the cities only after food orders have been cut off and relief clients have started sit-down vigils at relief headquarters. But the headlines which have frightened the politicians into action, also are the headlines which have blackened Cleveland's reputation throughout the country. So, the city has found itself damned if it does, and damned if it doesn't. Today, with business booming and with State revenues increasing from higher tax collections, there is less financial reason than ever for the present relief breakdown. Why, then, must the urban communities of Ohio again be subjected to unnecessary distress? ” 2 on HE answer is—Politics. by politics is meant: REFUSAL of the Legislature to recognize relief as a more or less

And

permanent problem, especially in the urban centers. REFUSAL to pass a ‘permanent’ relief bill or to set up a continuing agency to handle relief. PASSAGE of hand-to-mouth stop-gap relief bills, none of which have been honest or realistic approaches to the problem. The stopgaps have run anywhere from a few weeks to six months, but they never meet the situation. Money appropriated for six months usually lasts about three months. INABILITY of the various political = sub-divisions (counties, etc.) to solve their own problem because: 1. The State already has preempted most of the juicy forms of taxation, and penalizes the urban centers, by compelling them to contribute far more in sales, gasoline, excise and other taxes than they get back. Thus, many rural counties which have no’ relief problem get back more than their contribution, while the situation is just reversed with the counties that have big relief problems. 2. The cities are unable to raise the necessary money by taxing themselves. A constitutional amendment places a 10-mill limitation on real estate and the Legislature has handcuffed the cities by imposing a number of other restrictions in regard to taxing and borrowing powers of municipalities. The Legislature, for example, requires counties to obtain a 65 per cent majority to pass special welfare levies. 2 8 #

HE net effect of this has been to place the cities in an impossible squeeze, the Legislature not only refusing to provide the necessary funds, but also refusing to allow cities to raise the money. Distribution of money on a geographical basis . rather than on the basis of need, has produced vicious inequalities such as the following example: Monroe County is a rural section where living costs are low

and where there is no relief prohlem to speak of. Yet, under the State Relief Bill, it got $44.43 per month per relief case, while it paid out only $21.17 per case. This left the county with a bonus or surplus of $23.26 per case. Cuyahoga County (Cleveland with high living costs got $5.99 per case per month, but spent $24.40 per case, leaving under one relief bill a deficit of $18.41. How, in the vise of these circumstances, have the cities of Ohio staved off starvation for their relief clients? Cleveland has kept its relief load afloat only by the most ingenious use of funds, by going deeply in the red, and by periodically getting credit: extensions until the Legislature once more can be scared into another stop-gap. Ed

u Ho

SIDE from the unnecessary hardships and emergencies worked by this brand of politics, the ultimate end will be to drain the large municipalities to a point where they will be gradually driven into bankruptcy. A perfect case of want in the midst of plenty. Governor Bricker, dark horse possibility for the Republican presidential nomination, was going to change all this with a sensible two-year relief program. But on Jan. 17, 1939, another stop-gap hill was introduced with his support. It proposed a State contribution of $5,000,000, with the cities matching on a 50-50 basis. But it barred distribution of money on a “need” basis, and denied cities the right to tax to raise money to match the state's. Another crisis in June was met. by the Legislature passing a bill calculated to put relief on a $10,000,000-a-year basis, with the counties putting up an equal amount. Naturally, no new taxing power was given the cities to get on a matching basis. And this in turn has brought about the present crisis.

Dewey forces drew up a glowing tribute to their candidate, praising Mr. Dewey as “possessing above all other leaders in the country today the ability, temperament, training and ideals which the next President of the United States must have.” Some prominent Republicans who are unenthusiastic about Mr. Dewey gagged at signing this statement, feeling that it was too fulsome. The Republican National Committeeman for New York, Kenneth Simpson, refused to sign it. He and Mr. Dewey have had differences in the past, although these were pushed aside and Mr. Dewey supported Mr. Simpson a short time ago for re-election as New York county chairman.

My Day

WASHINGTON, D. C, Tuesday—Yesterday, 1 went over to Annapolis fer luncheon with Mrs. Wilson Brown, wife of the Superintendent of the Naval Academy. A pair of perfectly beautiful mirrors have been given to the Superintendent's house and hang in the dining room on either side of the doorway. They are perfect in the room and the reflection of the garden in the mirrors is very beautiful. After lunch. I went over to make my speech, and noticed how beautifully the ship models are arranged in their cases along the corridors in Bancroft Hall. The Naval Academy has some very beautiful models, but the two battle flags always attract my attention first. I drove from Annapolis to

Baltimore and took a train to Philadelphia. Here, Mrs. Curtin Winsor met me with Mrs. J. A. Kline of the Welcome Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. I was not expecting to see my grandson, Bill, so when Mrs. Kline pushed a small boy forward, I thought for a second that it was just a young stranger who wished to shake hands.
