Granada theater with Eric Lin Ion and Dorothy Joidan in the featured leaps, gives a startling new treatment o|
the ever popular mystery theme. In this RK,O-Radio picture, the ven-
tral characters blunder upon a double murdei in a desolate country roadhou- r ' and discover the identity of the killers. This information is shared with the audience and there is never any mystery as to who actually com-
mitted the crime.
The film’s amazing story complications result from the hero’s weird plan of assuming the guilt for the murders and the element of suspense centers about the uncertainty of his fate. When the evidence that means the hero's safety disappears, the suspense roaches a tensity which never relaxe- until the final fade-out.

j To the Editor:
; Jobs are more important right now j than they have ever been. And yet the people of thh community ore /aeing a situation which endangers jobs
by the thousands
Our state legislature in a spirit of panic, threatens to curtail road build-’ j iog by diverting money from the | highway fund for use in other deI partments. Any such procedure mean- shaip reduction in jobs, 11) in road building and maintenance, (2) in industries which provide the material- for road w’oik, (3) in industries which supply road building equipment For every’ man employed ■n actual road work, two others are kept busy in related industries When the legislature switches a million dollar from the highway fund, it automatically cuts the income of labor hy $910,000—for 91 per cent of the cost of road building is labor. When labor is cut, it mean- that new hundreds of families must eek re- j lief c,nm public agencies. To self- | respecting families this is a bitter!
expei ience.
Our own concern is intimately con-' nected with the road building enterprises of this state. When tho--e enterprises ptogress normally, wc are able to maintain or increase nur pa\ roll; when road building is cut. our ini' ineps suffers and the pay roll can ii t he maintained. Ours i® hut one of many concerns so rituated By and large a good many people are affected. i The riivorrion of highway funds cannot he justified c.i defended: tint it can he understood. In license fees and kos taxes oui motorists pay into the tate treasury large amounts of money every year. Because it is a large, pay-as-you-go fund, legislator® have come to look upon it as inexlautihle, to he tapped for any and every purpo-e. During 1932 moie than $1311,090,000 was diverted from highway funWs in the several states, fhjt means that -ome $120,000,000 which ,-hould have gone directly to labor failed to do so— unless it got there by way of emergency relief. I Incidentally relief is less efficient in distributing money than rond building, a fact which Anther aggra-
vates the situation.)
Diversion of highways funds has o’hc faults. It constitute a breach of faith with motorists who pay their license l ’er- and gas taxes with the express unOerstanding that the money i to be used for road building and maintenance. Hiiheito car owners ’ ave paid their taxes willingly; for they were a utely aware of the need l’o) more and hcttei reads. They knew that every mile of improved pavement meant saiVr, easier and more economical motoring But now, wiili the t'neat of diversion hanging over them, they cannot be expected to pay willingly Nobody enjoy he- * ing ompored on, particularly when the impositirn mean.- -till further in !

Under the circumstances I fp P | Hiat 1 we are all justified in objecting, as] trennously as we can, to our legi-la tors. Diversion, in lost jobs, in faulty | • ennomics and in sheer injustice, inot tr he taken lying down. G. K. PIERSON, Vice-president Lone Star Cement Company of In liana, Inc.
