DAY, MARCH 18,

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, March 18.—Our own ‘vast air line nebwork in the United States has passed from the romantic stage into the era of precision. But in Central America the flying done by the amazji0g air line known at TACA is both precise and romantic in, the same . breath. PRECISION—A plane takes off under orders, after weather reports, folds. its wheels, and booms out over the jungle on a definite schedule, pulled by the same powerful motors that pull our air liners at home. The pilot carries a clip-board of orders and waybills; on his head are earphones; he is directed by radio from the ground. : BUT ROMANCE—He isn't carrying just 14 businessmen with briefcases. - He is carrying

a ton of canned milk, eggs, butter, dressed beef, . radios; a statesman in morning coat;

a brutal murderer, weeping and cringing, on the way to be _shof at dawn; $10,000 in gold bricks; « woman suck= ling her baby; a booted mining engineer; three cases of beer; a stack of tin washtubs; a brown old grandmother and six brown babies. That is the cabbages-and-sealing-wax cargo of 40 daily planes that beat their rhythmic tune over the mountains and jungles and mosquito coasts of Central America today. These planes land in places that would make the hair on your neck crawl. : They put down into gashes in the jungle where monkeys and parrots keep the station agent, awake at night, and where fever is a normal state of health. : 2 » ”

Smacked With a Gold Brick

They go into one mountainous spot so rough that two small level patches had to be connected by a wooden bridge to make a runway. The pilot in landing gets his wheels on the ground and speeds across this bridge at 75 miles an hour. The bridge is so narrow the wing-tips stick far out on each side. No pilot has missed the bridge yet. Every two weeks a TACA plane carries out $70,000 in gold from the Bonanza mine in Nicaragua. No guard goes along with these gold bricks.

‘ ‘IP BASEBALL DOPE is what you're looking for, you've bought the right newspaper. The Indianapolis baseball team starts training at

Bartow, Fla, today. It's the county seat of Polk County right in the : has a courthouse built of Indiana limestone. The fact that- Tampa, the training camp of the Cincinnati Reds, is only 45 miles away makes the boys feel at home, too. The boys are lodged ‘at the Oaks Hotel, a mighty nice place even if you aren’t a ball player. It gets its name because of the fact that Bartow, a town of 6000, is known as the City of Oaks, some of which are 300 years old. In other words, every bit as old as those in California. : The "boys are ‘going to be gone a montn. The program is more or less the same for every day. They practice one hour 4 day which leaves 23 huors to be accounted for. After consuming huge breakfasts, the 30 players loaf around the hotel lobby until 9 o'clock. “That done, they go’to the only pool room in town and ‘spend an hour there. It helps their eyes.

Bob Logan Pool Champ

+ Snooker is the favorite game. The southpaws are the ‘best pool players, Bob Logan (p) holds the 1939 title, having won the finals from Freddy Vaughn (2b). Last year, too, a southpaw pool team made up of Red Sharp (p), Bob Latshaw (1b), Bob Logan and Lloyd Johnson (p) beat a team of righthanders composed of Dee Moore (c), Jess Newman (1b), Vaughn and Hod Lisenbee (p). ' . Some time around 10 ¢’clock the boys leave the poolroom and move toward the training camp two blocks away and across the railroad tracks. When they arrive, they always find a crate of oranges and grapefruit in front of the clubhouse door. It's a great mystery where it comes from, but it’s generally sup-

Washingt WASHINGTON, March 18—Another week has gone by without any move by the Administration to

relent in its slow-motion political assassination of

Presidential candidate Paul V. McNutt. * Internal Revenue Agents are still going around Indiana, looking for dirt on Mr. McNutt. They have been at it for seven months. The whole country knows about it, but doesn’t know whether the Government has anything on him or is merely making him sweat. His Presidential candidacy has been all but wrecked, temporarily at. least, by this Stalin-like business. Time and again the income tax has been used for ulterior purposes. Sometimes this method has served a public good—as : : ‘when the income tax was used to trap Al Capone and fellow gangsters. In Louisiana it was used to tame the Huey Long crowd, and prosecution was called off after Huey Long was assassinated and his heirs agreed to play ball with the Administration. : Private citizens who opposed some Administration measures found themselves publicly singled out as “tax avoiders”—and condemned cn moral grounds although they had been entirely within the law, as the Government admitted. ”

Now the tax investigation is being used in a way that has the effect of crucifying a Presidential candidate. The most elemental protection in our system is that the accused is entitled to be told promptly with what

‘Hoosier Vagabond By Ernie Pyle

Capt. Eddie Brice, one 6f TACA’s veteran pilots|

was bringing ‘a small haul out of Bonanza one day. There were only three brieks, worth about $2500 each, so he put them on the flog of the cockpit in

his cabin. ; The air got extremely rough. And as he hit

one tremendous downdraft, the bricks left the floor, |

flew up «4n the air smacked Capt. Brice in the chest, and nearly broke a rib. , - But it was a fortunate blow. Por the bricks were headed right for the open window at Brice’s elbow, and if he hadn’t been in the way they’d have flown down into the jungle. : . There are enough TACA stories like that to make a book, and somebody should write it. Yet it is the seemingly more colorless work that excites me most. Such as the buytter-and-egg runs. : As I've written before, there are vastly rich valleys in these countries, but no practicable way to get anything out. :

Fooling the Rainy Season

But take the Rancho la Cumplida in interior Nicaragua. It is owned by Ernesto Salazar. After TACA had set up the two great mines of Bonanza and Ciuna, the hundreds of workers had to be fed. So an arrangement was made with Salazar to supply the grub. TACA was to haul it. A field was whacked out near the ranch house. A warehouse was built: a slaughterhouse too. * : And today, from that isolated ranch, a plane load >f 3700 pounds of produce takes to the air every morning. Beans and rice and lard and chickens and eggs and four dressed beeves a week. In Central America the rainy season lasts some six months. During that time the mornings are usually clear, but as the sun goes higher, great white clouds boil up in the sky, by noon all is- cloud, and then the torrents come down. : Consequently, in the rainy season TACA planes take to the air at dawn on their daily runs throughout seven nations. By noon they are all back home, through for the day.. In the afternoon the pilots sit and watch the rain. Most of the TACA pilots are young fellows from California. Several have married Latin girls. Their lives. are adventurous, and they are doing the stuff that fiction is made of. :

After they sample the oranges and pronounce them the best in the world, the players put on their suits and lie in the sun until Wes Griffin, the manager, appears. Baseball practice starts at 10:15 o'clock. At any rate, it’s supposed to, but they always wait to wave at the engineer of a wood-burning locomotive pulling a line of cars filled with lumber from a camp in the woods. Sometimes the train is a little late, which delays practice. - The Bartow ball park has the finest stone fence of any park in Florida. Originally the playing field consisted of nothing but dead sand. W. E. Huckaba, the present grounds keeper, was smart enough to get around that, though. He went into the swamps and dug up loads of black muck, spread it, and worked it into the sand. After he got it sodded he had a diamond as good as any in the North.

Newman Best Golfer

Having finished practicing (11:30), the players return to their hotel and eat everything on the card. The afternoon is spent writing letters and playing golf. The best golf players are Jess Newman (80), Bob Latshaw (90) and Secretary Dale Miller (?). Pete Cooper, a retired Detroit pitcher, is the pro of the Bartow goif links. Hod The players also profit by the presence of Kenneth Loucks, president of the. Indianapolis Public. Links Association,. who arranges his business atfaifs to spend his vacation with the ball team. Mr. Loucks says he shoots his best golf in Florida. After dinner, the players play cards (hearts) or visit the Ritz, the only theater in town. It changes its pictures three times a week. For some’ reason it has three prices, too. On Mondays and Tuesdays it charges 15 cents; on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 25 cents; and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 35 cents.

offense he is charged. Dictators throw their victims in jail and let them rot without bringing charges. Mr. McNutt is not thrown in jail but he might as well be. To have the Government's finger of suspicion pointed at him for seven months without any statement of charges, in the midst of his campaign for the Presidency, is out of keeping with the American spirit. Numerous indications suggest that the American people, having seen civil liberties crushed in so many places abroad, are becoming increasingly alarmed lest a similar trend set in here. That anxiety is behind the popular revolt over the census questions. It is behind the agitation in Congress for an investigation of the FBI. It is behind the strong public opposition to wire tapping. Congressional | investigation of the many rumors and charges regarding abuse of civil liberties would ‘be healthy at this time. If such investigation found nothing, it still would be worth while simply because it would keep public emphasis focused on the subject. ” ” »

Making Sure of Our Rights

This is the time to make our civil liberties secure beyond any questicn, Because within a few months 1t is likely that the country will be thrown into bitter debate over European war questions. The Allies are going to want real help from us. They will need merchant shipping and credit. We shall be faced with the issue of whether we shall go to their rescue, not with troops but with practically everything else. When the time comes. that we must consider whether we shall sell or charter merchant shipping to the Allies, and whether we shall extend large financial help by loan or Government gift, we don’t want to be railrcaded into a decision as we were “before.: If we are going to have free discussion and free consideration of such questions when they arise, we have to be certain that our civil liberties are safe now.

. | would be. Each man, I imagine, reflected his own image in his answer, and some of the things which were said struck a responsive chord in me. Dr. Thomas Parran, surgeon-general of the United States Public Health Service, ended with these words: “I hope each (of my four sons) may be a better man than I am and that their generation may be a better one than mine.” Such modesty has probably made of his boys just what he.wishes them to be, and I think every one of us, fathers and mothers, would echo that same wish. If only our children can begin a little ahead of our own starting point, we will feel that our experience has counted for something. Mr. Donald C. Peattie, naturalist and author, in the same sympbsium, expressed beautifully something which I have often wanted to say: “May my sons’ religion be a reverence for life. May, they judge by this all things that come to them. May they never fail to feel that gratitude for being alive, which is indestructible happiness. May they worship, as the manifest glory of this religion, the natural beauty of the world, and see it never through eyes dimmed by materialism. So, true to an imperishable reality, may they- become strong men -fer-any fight, but sure of ‘what they fight for.” Iamb in Washington today and, for the first time in some years, at home on our wedding anniversary. There is no special celebration, for we are rather an ancient married couple, but the President is going to see “Gone With the Wind,” which ought to be enough entertainment for any. day in the year!

Gallup Poll— | : New Deal Farm Acts Popular

By Dr. George Gallup PRIN CETON, N. J., March 18.—After the nation’s seven years of grappling with the farm problem by means of the Triple-A and its variations, New Dealers and Republicans alike are scanning the farm states today for the answers to two all-important questions.

Has the U. S. farmer approved the farm policies of the Roosevelt Administration? Does the farm vote favor a Republican or a Democratic Administration in Washington after next November?

With these two questions confronting Congressmen, Presidential candidates anfl platform-framers in both major parties, the latest nation-wide studies of the American Institute of Public Opinion indicate what the farmer himself has to say on these two points:

tures, the New Dell's farm program has been popular with American farmers on the whole. Even in the politically important corn and wheat states of the Middle West, a majority of farmers reached in the Institute survey say that the farm policies of the

than they hdve hurt. An even larger majority of farmers say that Secretary Wallace has done a “good job” as Mr. Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture. 2. But in spite of the farmer’s. gratitude to the New '-Deal, the survey shows that—as of today—a majority of farm voters in the crucial Middle West favor a Republican victory in the Presidential election next November. By a substantial majority, furthermore, Midwestern farm voters say they would not approve of a third term for. President Roosevelt. Taken together, these two findings give a substantially clear picture of problems the Democrats arid Republicans will face in the coming campaign. Because of the poularity of the New Deal’s farm activities in general, Republican leaders will probably be slow to attack these policies wholesale. On the other hand, the survey indicates that the Democratic grip on the Farm Belt—first obtained in the Roosevelt landslide of 1932 —masy be loosening up. #2 8 =n N seven years’ time the Roosevelt Administration has experimented with such farm remedies as crop reduction, loans, soil conservation, processing taxes and crop quota referendas. To the American farmer has gone a more or less steady stream of benefit payments intended to maintain his purchasing power in relation to what he must buy.

prior to the enactment of the New Deal’s program. They believe their total income is greater; they like the conservation: checks and the loans for seed, fertilizer and feed; they think the farm program has saved the farmer from financial ruin; they have a greater sense of personal security.

A 50-year-old Texan, whose 75 acres of land at best are probably none too productive, said, “Without Government ‘help, the farmers just couldn’t get by.” A successful Colorado farmer, 35 years old, said, “Financially, the farmer is® better off; and he knows more about good farming because of the farm program.” A cattleman in Montana said, “In this community the farm program has carried us through when we could not have held on * without this help.”

Farmers from the Southwestern:

area, which has felt the blight of drought and winds said, “If things had gone on as they were, we'd: have all been driven off our * farms.” and, “The program has kept some of iis from starving to death.” Critics of the Administration's ~ program; on the otder hand, raise

objections to “the discouragement of independent planning by the farmer,” “increased taxes as the result of farm benefits,” “too much government interference”. or “the wasteful policy of curtailing crops.” . : 8 ” ” S every politician knows, and as the recent visits of the

leading Presidential candidates to

the. farm states testify, the farm=er’s vote is likely to be an all-: important factor in the coming elections. Since nearly half the farmers of the United States live in the “Solid South,” however, &nd since many of these do not vote for one reason or another, the crux of the situation is what the Middle Western farmer thinks.

The survey shows that while a majority of these Midwestern farmers are grateful- for the New Deal’s benefit checks, they are not necessarily - willing to see. the New Deal returned to power. Their comments show, that most ‘of them think they would be just as well off, if not better, under a Republican Administration than at present.

Before 1932, of -course, most of

the Midwest farm belt was tradie tionally “Republican,” and even in 1936 the county-by-county elec= tion figures showed the beginnings of a trend back to the G. O. P. in this area. The vote of Midwestern farm voters reached in the Institute survey is: : Gi “Would you prefer to see the

CHAPTER SEVEN PEOPLE today, taking a much greater interest in political questions than ever before, are very apt to wonder why, by and large, the so-called - small neutral states of Europe

happen to be so much far-

ther along the road of progress than the larger empires. Why can Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland and all the others give their people peace ‘and quiet and an orderly form of government? / Why have they succeeded so admirably in removing

all slums, in providing pensions

for the aged?

And why is their political life almost completely free from the everlasting corruption and those financial scandals which in America seem to be an unavoidable and integral part of practical politics? : | Generalities are always dangerous, but I think that we can answer those questions by just one word—*‘size.” Those countries are small. They are inhabited by homogen®ous groups of people.

This does not hold true, of

course, for Switzerland, but the

excellent system of popular education has so far removed the average Swiss from the prejudices of a narrow-minded nationalism that- the French, German, Italian and ‘Romansh - speaking groups (yes, there is a separate group in the Grisons whith speaks that old Roman dialect) have learned not only to live but have mastered the infinitely more difficult task of letting the other fel-

‘low live his own life.

‘everything we do, every law we

pass, must be carefully adjusted to thé special desires and interests of all’ sorts of rac¢ial and political groups. : The original owners of the country, the Indians, not having a vote, are a mute minority, but in nearby Mexico they have become a majority with majority rights.

And at any moment, an unscrupulous demagog, by appealing cleverly to certain racial or is prejudices, may completely upset our entire political or economic balance. In Sweden, there are a little more than six million people. The small “foreign” groups have become so completely Swedishized (if that may be the word) that they have become an integral part of the country of their adoption

and would no more think of setting themselves apart from the rest of their neighbors (by dietary laws, special holidays and such like) than they would dream of avoiding military service or asking for any other privileges. This does not mean that any of these small countries are exactly a political paradise. Ambitious lawyers and schoolteachers and labor-leaders fight each other at electjon time with intense bitterness. = But these quarrels are “family quarrels?” so to speak. And while a Socialist prime minister may— in theory at least—be a confirmed Republican, this will not prevent

him from being on the most -

pose and from discussing with his majesty the affairs of their com-

For in such countries, every neighbor knows pretty much - everythipg about all his other neighbors. And such a familiarity tends to keep everybody honest. For let a government official in "a small. Dutch or Danish town bestow a fur coat worth 180 crowns upon his wife, when all his neighbors know that he could (according to his income) afford only 140 crowns for this unnecessary luxury, and pretty soon a delegation of government accountants wll appear from the nearby capital to ‘make an inspection of his books. ‘All this, to an even more microscopic degree, held true of ancient Greece.

On the contrary, they wére strong because they were small. For being small, they were homogeneous. That word means “being of .a common origin—being alike—being of the same kind or nature.” = : Therefore there is small profit to be derived from a comparison of the ancient forms of democracy with our modern ones.
