MADRID HERALD
 EDITOR IS FINED
Police Told to Con6sCate Paper
 Unseen by Censor

Madrid. Aug. 1 LP-The govern ment today ordered the police to conhscate editions of the newspaper Heraldo De Madrid and fined the paper 1000 pesetas (about S120) because it published an interview with the Cuban ambassador. Garcia kohly, without first submitting th3 story to the censor.
 The interview was regarded as friendly to the ambassador, but the authorities maintained that the cen- sor must pass upon such articles.
 Some criticism had been mani fested here regarding book writ ten by the ambassador in which he discusses the history and politics of Spain, and particularly the coloni- zation policy of Spain preceding the Spanish American war
 The ambassador is supposed 10 have said, in the interview, that he would rather resign as ambassador and return to Cuba than have his country blamed for anything that might be misconstrued in his book

RITES AT MAILING WALL TOMORROW
Carrying Of Weapons and As sembly Forbidden by Police

Jerusalem, Aug. 1 P)-The an- nual procession of Jews to the con- troversial wailing wall tomorrow has caused authorities to post no- tices prohibiting assembly in the streets and the carrying of wea- pons.
 This historic custom of Jewry was the indirect cause of riots between Jews and Arabs last August which cost the lives of several hundred f before the trouble was quelled by | British troops.
 Tomorrow is Tish-B-Ab, or fast
 day, and the religious observance begins at sGndown. As the sun sinks the Jews journey to the his toric wall, there to recite the la
 mentations of Jeremiah over the fall of Jerusalem and the destruc- ton of the temple of their faith, of which they claim the wailing wall is a remnant.
 The Jewish Photographic agency
 says that the Jewish national coun- cil has requested the Jewish youth organization and other groups to dispense with their custom of walk ing around the City's wall, but no interference with the procession 10 the Wailing wall is expected

Several Boys Say "Women and Children First to Be Their Rule-One Ad- mits He Would Go Him. self - Other Answers Vary.

West Orange, N. J., Aug. 1 P- (Which would you save?" stood out today as the biggest poser in the ex- animation to which Thomas A. Edi- son subjected 49 boys to determine this years winner of the Edison college scholarship.
 The boys one from each state and the District of Columbia emerged from their six-hour ordeal yesterday to agree that stiff questions in chem istry, physics, history and other subjects were easy compared with one dealing with an expedition stranded in a desert with limited supply of food and water. Only three out of seven could be saved.
 Gives Difficult Problem
 The question supposed that the party was composed of a brilliant scientist, 60 years old: his g year old wife, whose interests were chiefly social; her year old son; the fancee of the leader and his best friend, person Of his own age with a promising scientific future, and two AlaiI -DIctu SulutS, dStS 0S duu :.
 Some of the boys relied on the rule of 'women and children first" to guide their choice. Those who did not gave small consideration to the socially minded wife. Several decided to sacrifice the small boy and the aged scientist on the grounds that their ages made their use to society problematiCal. Nearly all wrote that they would send out their fancee and the friend.
 John Alexander of Colorado Springs chose the scientist the girl and his best friend, adding. T know that my best friend would get my girl out of the desert or die in the attempt
 Robbin C. Andedson Of Louisiana said: Tt would seem a point of honor to save the ladies, but l don't think l would"
 Would Save Himself
 Robert H. Smith of Las Vegas, N. M, was the only one who said he would save himself. T live near the desert and know how things are," he explained.
 The presence of Henry Ford in West Orange during the eXamina- tion did not abash the boys when they came to the question of asking how much they would charge for Ford coupe that had been driven 5000 miles. The appraisals ranged from $500 to $45 and one candidate wrote that he would throw in the ad- vice not to drive the car on country roads.

The Gangs Break Loose

Apparently that peace pact which the Chicago
gangs fixed up a month or so ago didn't have enough
teeth in it. Maybe it failed because underworld psy-
cholory isn't quite ready for a super-state yet. and
maybe the boys just naturally didn't take it seriously:
at any rate. the machine guns are swinging again.
and the casualty list is resuming the proportions Of
the good old days.
So ends Chicago's breathing space, amid a clatter
OF fire arms. Dead bodies are being found beside
lonely roads once more. and firing squads are on the
prowl again; the police are finding known gangsters'
immersed in their own gore, and this. that or the 9TH
er murder. All in all, the city at the foot Of Lake
Michigan seems to have slipped back to normal; and
people who like to be driven TO alarm by these violent
outbursts on the part Of our urban civilization have
at hand the material for a new fit Of the heebee-
jeebies.
We're pretty well used to our big-city gangs now,
and they don't worry or shock us they used to; never
theless, there's one bit of foggy thinking that these
killings usually bring out, and We might as well take
the time to get straight on it.
This particular bit of irrationality is a reflection
that generally runs something like this: after all, 1t IS
only the g~angsters that get killed. Each of these out
bursts simply removes from circulation a citizen whom
we can very well do without. Why get worried? Isn't
it. in the long run. to societys interest to have these
yeggs put one another out Of the way?
On the surface. that looks reasonable. But it isn't
the whole story.
Every gangland killing simply entrenches the gangs
more firmly in power. Every time one group of cut
Threats machine guns a rival group. it merely con-
vinces every member Of the underworld that he and
his kind are beyond the reach Of organized society
as represented BY the police and the courts. Every
underworld murder establishes the chiefs Of gang
land. more securely than ever before, as a law unto
themselves.
For these reasons il Is impossible for society to de-
rive any satisfaction out Of this string Of murders.
These killings are nothing but the g~angsters' way
OF making sure that they can continue to prey on So
siety unmolested. There is a new recruit TO take the
place Of every hoodlum that gets bumped off When
we try to tell ourselves that We needn't be alarmed
because one more beer-runner has been shot to death
we are just kidding ourselves-in a very dangerous
way.

The Old-Age Pension

During the next decade or so the subject Of old-age
pensions will come in for a lot more attention in
America than It has ever had before. That is putting
IL mildly. OF course. for II has hardly had any atten-
ton at all so far: but in a few years 1t will be arousing
a lot of discussion.
People are beginning to realize that the community
has a certain responsibility in respect to the support
OF the aged. Nevertheless. an old-age pension of any
consequence is bound TO be highly expensive.
For instance: the Massachusetts, legislature is now
considering an old-age pension bill which. if passed.
would add a considerable load to the states budget.
Yet 1t calls for payments Of only So a week to men
over SIS and women over go.
II Massachusetts, passes this bill it will be doing q
liberal thing. Yet So is not a very stable income. any
way you look at il.

Congressman Garner Hasn't Said
the Last Word About His Plan for
Making Five States Out OF
Texas-He Believes Texans
Eventually viii Come Over
10 His Side.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June IL The
country hasn't heard the last Of
House Minority Leader Jack Gar
ner's proposal to divide up Texas
into five states.
Considerable argument-pro, con
and d~erisive-has been raging down
in Texas. Next winter someone
probably will arise in the state
legislature and introduce a measure
looking to the division. So Garner
nopeS. The idea was no passing
fancy with him.
After that, he believes, there will
be a well defined movement in ia
vor Of division growing up in the
Lone Star State. At the same time
Tie northern states will begin TO
get excited about the idea Of giving
10 senators to what is now Texas
with only two senators-and Texas
state pride is likely to breed more
ard more enthusiastic sentiment
for the plan at home.
It's Up to Texas
The rest OF the country is con-
fronted with the fact that Congress,
n a joint resolution in 1S45. pro-
vided that: New states Of con-
vsnient size, not exceeding four in
number. In addition TO the said
state Of Texa. and having sufficient
population. may hereafter. by con-
Selt OF said state, be formed out Of
tie territory thereof. which shall
&C entitled to admission under the
provisions OF the federal constitu-
ticr." That appears to leave de-
ci-ion as to the division up to the
state legislature. Obviously. II the
legislature ever decides to take ad-
vantage OF the privilege there Is
bound TO be a swell row over II.
Garner Is ready 70 combat such
objections as have been raised BY
Texans. One comes from state
proud citizens who we're born Texans
aro and want 10 die Texans with
ouL being called anything else.
We can name our five states
South Texas, West Texas. North
Texas. East Texas and Central

Texas" he says. we know the
sections OF our state by those names
now and their various interests are
more or less conflicting"
Some Texans have demanded to
know whether the sacred bones OF
old Sam Houston are going TO be
dug up and scattered around mong
The proposed five new states Gar
n+r replies that Sam Houston was
one Of the original proponents Of
the division and was largely re-
sponsible for seeing TO II that Texas
entered the union with the right Of
cIviding II II so desired.
The idea OF having 10 senators
from Texas looks especially good
% Garner.
The United States Senate is the
strongest body in this country"
says he. Presidential campaign
platforms are made by parties and
parties nominate candidates on
those platforms. Who writes the
L'atforms? Senator's have more TO
10 with writing them than anyone
else. Senators are usually party
leaders in their various states.
Therefore the Importance Of
having as many senators from a
section as possible is obvious.
The south hasn't ever had a fair
bi eak. New England states have
had the balance OF power. II Texas
is going to continue to be one state
re ought TO combine the New Eng
land states into one. Five Of the
New England states have less than
tie population Of Texas and less
tran one-third Of the area: yet
tley have 10 senators to our two.
The 1880 census is likely TO show
tI-at Texas has a population OF
100000.
Says South Is victimized
For SO years the policy OF the
northeast has been to live on the
rest OF the country. Now the north
east has reached It's peak and as
the south becomes industrialized
OUR resources are almost unlimited.
The northeast has used its
power TO give IL self every advan-
tage. especially in the tariff. and
tie south has never been considered
