TABLOID PRESS
IS RAPED

The murder Of Don r. Mellett,
the prevalence Of tabloid news.
papers and the high-handed pro-
cedure Of certain courts melting
critical editors for contempt, were
characterized today as outstanding
threats to the integrity of the
press, in the report Of the press
integrity committee to the Ameri-
can Society Of Newspaper Editors.
A resolution condemning the slay.
ing Of the Ohio editor and pledging
the society's support Of the prin.
ciples for which he stood in his
editorial war against the under
world, was adopted.
The committee found that the
existence Of the tabloid newspaper,
with its "boiled beef and tabasco''
news, was directly attributable to
that portion of the public which
"cares less for serious affairs Of
society at this time than at any
time in the history Of the press.
Legislative action to curb the
powers Of judges who "clap editors
in Jail for sincere criticism" was
urged by the committee.
Election Of officers was deferred
until later in the day.

Cordial acknowledgment Of Ameri-

Bremen and Europa was made by
Prof. Hugo Junkers in an interview

The airplane designer especially

serve to bring nations together in
stead of estranging them.

that We have abandoned our deter

Brunswick, Ga. Aug. II P-Paul
Redfern Jones hopes to have big
news soon" for the newspaper men
gathered here to chronicle his take
off on a projected 1900 mile nom
stop flight to Brazil.
The aviator made this statement
while awainting Paragraph, para
chute and favorable weather reports
before taking his monoplane Port
Of Brunswick" into the air and
southward over the Jungle land Of
South America.
A telegram from Washington last
night suggested that he go there to
confer with weather bureau officials
on maps and date but the filler stat
ed this would not be possible. The
department had already informed
him that weather information south
OF the Island of Trinidad was not
available, but the young aviator de-
clared his intention Of flying with
out such advance information if ne
cessary. Promise of cooperation on
the part of the Brazilian govern
ment, however. partially dispelled
doubts and fears for his safety if he
should fly unwarned into a tropical
storm.
Meanwhile efforts were being
made to obtain a Paragraph with
out which the flight would not be
officially recognized. An army baro-
graph cannot be made available for
this kind of voyage, it was believed.
and efforts to obtain one from other
quarters were started.
Relief from the monotony and
grind of the long flight was sought
in the installation of double con-
trolls. allowing the filler to manipu-
late the controls from either side of
the airplane. A wicker chair was in
stalled to provide comfort.

SECRETARY mellon
Regarded as Heir Apparent to
Treasury Portfolio
~ GEORGE H. MANNING
Washington Bureau Of the N. B. Herald

(WA6hinGton Bureau OF the N. b. HerAld1
Washington. D. c., Aug. log
den L. Mills who became undersec-
rotary of the treasury only five and
a half months ago. has gradually
stepped into place as the Nations
fiscal leader, until now he is the
heir-apparent to the post of secre-
tary of the treasury.
During the long vacation of Sec
Rotary OF the Treasury Andrew w
Mellon in a yatch on the Mediter-
ranean, Undersceretary Mills as
acting secretary, has assumed the d.
rection of the nations fiscal affairs.
position for which he was pre-
pared by his private financial eX-
perience and his work as his party S
tax leader in the house of represent
atives.
Mills will be 43 years old on Au
gust %. This means he has, if he
wants 1t and If the republicans con-
tinue in power, a long future career
in the United States government.
Secretary Mellon is nearly 73 years
old, He will have been member Of
the cabinet eight years when the
present administration gives way to
the next, and will be then IS years
old. Undersecretary Mills is his To-
gical successor-if the republicans
elect the next president, and if Tn
dersecretary Mills does not make
political mistakes in the campaign.
Extremely cautious in financial
affairs. Undersecretary Mills is Just
the opposite In politics. however.
When he was the candidate for
governor of New York last year, he
rushed into brash allegations against
Governor Alfred f. Smith. which
older and more experienced New
York republicans. knowing well the
affection New York people have for
their governor. would not have
dared made. Yet this man who made
statements against Al Smith which
he could not substantiate to the sat
iSfactior of the voters Of the state,
is not one to rush into tax reduc-
ton, even for the benefit of the re-
publican garty in presidential cleo
ton year.
This injudiciousness Of his in pol
itics might lead into activities tend
ing to ALLEVIATE the next nominee OF
the republican party-unless. OF
course. his unhappy experience in
New York last year has taught him
lesson.
Jndersecretary Mills has definite
theories about taxation. He has stud
led the fiscal systems Of different
countries. He believes that a sound
fiscal policy should be based on a
balanced system of direct and indi-
rect tsSes-that is. both taxes and
sales taxes. Under the head of indi-
rect or sales taxes come customs
duties. and tobacco taxes. automo-
bile taxes. theater and club admis-
sion taxes. some of which there
is a definite campaign to abolish.
Undersecretary Mills believes that
these consumption taxes should be
retained to the extent that the in
direct taxes and the direct taxes
shall be we'll balanced. He might ap-
prove a further cut on the automo-
bile tax, but that Is doubtful. Ger
