Trouble in America Rests With
People, New Declares
By The Associated Press.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Nov. 7.-Practi-
cally every state in the union is suf-
fering from oyerindulgence at the
present time. and the fault rests with
the people themselves, Harry S. New,
postmaster general of the United
States. said today. Mr.. New spoke
at dedication exercises of a new office
building.
While the states are piling up debts
for improvements or additions which
well could wait the federal govern
ment on the other hand is rapidly
diminishing its huge obligations, the
speaker said. He FASTENED to add,
however, that what he said sis not
meant as a criticism of state govern
ments, or of political parties, but
rather is to call attention to a pre-
vaiiing tendency of the people them
selves"
Mr.. New declared that of the nine
teen amendments added to the consti-
tuition of the United States, there is
not the remotest prospect that any
enc of them will ever be repealed"
Touching on what he termed one hun
dred per cent Americanism, he in
sisted that the real lone hundred per
cent American is he who stands by
the constitution and who obeys the
laws passed in pursuance of the con-
stitution." Mr.. News statements were
held to be of great import, because Of
his close contact with President Cool
lidge.
The condition of the wheat farmers
has furnished the occasion for re-
newal in some quarters of the demand
for government ownership of trans
portation lines and in others for a re-
duction of freight rates decreed by
statute or by direction of the inter-
state commerce commission, MIR. Now
said. He added that while it is con-
coded that freight rates should be as
low as is consistently possible, he Won
dered if the wheat grower is being
given the best advice when told that
his salvation is to be found in lower
rates Quoting figures, he asserted
that a twenty per cent reduction in
rates would cover only fraction OF
the growers loss.

CROWD IS THRILLED

Mitchell Field Stunts Provide Sen
SatiOnal Entertainment

Mitchell Field, n. Y. Nov. T.
Thousands of people who used to go
10 the circus for their thrills yester-
day came to Mitchell Field for the air
carnival held for the benefit of the
army relief fund and saw ayiators
roll and dip thousands of feet in the
air: parachute jumpers leap from
the wings of a soaring plane, and
bombing planes lay low a fort behind
a smoke curtain.
The greatest thrill. however, wasn't
on the program at all. The closing
event scheduled was an attack on an
anchored kite balloon by a squadron
of pursuit planes. Dummies with
parachutes attached were to.be placed
in the basket and the basked tripped
by cable from the ground when the
balloon burst into flames, TO furnish a
realistic example of aviators escaping
death
The balloon was sent up ahead of
time for a test, and in some manner
the basket was tripped after the kite
had assembled less than thousand
feet and out came the two dummies.
n
woman screamed. The parachutes
opened just before the dummies
struck the field with a terrific thud.
An ambulance driver stationed on
the field for emergencies apparentIv
