THE MOP AT WORK

Whatever the police of New Ha-
ven may publicly say in reply to the
charges made by a minister there
about the city being a modern So
dom, their actions lately seem to
suggest that they have suddenly dis
covered a field of activity hereto
fore untouched. The latest seizure
OF contraband liquor. which included
80 steel drums, each containing 80
gallons Of grain alcohol, in addition
to other paraphernalia, was obtained
at the points of revolvers. Coming
on the heels of raid upon a brew
cry 1t would appear that the preach
er has actually started war in
New Haven. Whether the city ac-
tually remains cleaned up after the
spring housekeeping is over is
question. Law-abiding folks have
been saying mean things about New
Haven for many years. and only
recently an observing fellow dug up
old newspaper files to prove that
caustic criticism was popular a quar-
ter of century ago.

RADIO AND FLYING

One of the hard nuts that Lieu
tenants Maitland and Hegenberger
had to crack on their flight to Ha-
wall was finding the islands; at least.
so 1t was indicated when they start
ed. But there was no evidence avail
able that they actually had great
difficulty in maintaining their bear
ings. For the first time in aviation
history radio beacons were utilized
to guide filters. and it would seem
from the ease with which they
reached their destination that this
new method has proved itself an
important step forward as a sup
plement to aviation.
Radio also played an important
part in the Byrd flight to Paris,
not only yielding constant informa-
ton as to the location Of the erst-
while North Pole filler, but also en-
abling him to communicate with
New York. What could be more
thrilling in this respect than to no.
tify him of the success Of the Ha-
waiian flight and then forwarding
message Of congratulation from
the plane to the other filters in Ha-
wall? These are the days when one
flier can know exactly what the
other is doing, though they be
nearly 1000 miles apart!

A YOUNG IDEA

One Of the surprising booms Of
the summer is the one boming
Owen D. Young, head of the Gen.
eral Electric Company, as the Dem
ocratic nominee for pre- sident. The
chorus of amens is impressive.
Young pleases everybody having no
influence with the Democratic ma
tional convention.
1t is doubtful whether an execu-
tive of such huge institution as the
General Electric would care to en-
ter the political arena. If nominated
Of course. he would accept. But the
days when great executives are NOM
mated to head political parties has
not yet arrived, desirable as it
might seem to make this departure
from established custom.
Political psychology is a peculiar
animal. Politicians like to appeal to
the rank and file" when they name
their candidates. and stories about
candidates who rose from being farm
boys, or were born in log cabins,
work a special charm in snaring
votes. The story of a corporation ex-
ecutive turning candidate appeals to
the friends of the corporations and
to many intelligent people who see
no reason why that could not eventu-
ate: but to the general rank and
file" which has strong prejudices in
its makeup, the corporation execu-
tive does not in the slightest appeal
as candidate.
There is no popular objection.
however, in utilizing corporation ex-
ecutives to bring about notable pub
lie accomplishments. In the case of
Owen D. Young his part in origina-
ting the Dawes plan and obtaining
its adoption was on par with that
