Actors Support Campaign Of Socialist Candidate for Congress

New York, Aug. 26 (UP)-Hey- wood Broun, New York columnist running for congress on the socialist ticket, issued statement yesterday saying he is finding politics "a vastly exciting business"
 Tn the course of the week" he said, "I have made my first outdoor speech from the top of a step lad der, I have been threatened with a suit for libel hy an irate lieutenant of Mrs. Ruth Pratt, my republican opponent, I have received promises Of support from most unexpected sources, I have been called an athe- ist and a communist by a republican correspondent and 1 have been call ed a 'clownish demagogue' by the official communist newspaper.
 There has been considerab ble comment on the fact that there are q number of actors actively support ing my candidacy. People seem to think that there is something funny about actors taking an interest in public affairs. Just as they seem to think it is funny for a newspaper man to go into politics.
 The truth IS that unemployment has hit the actors harder than it has hit almost any other group of work CTS. More than 1000 men and women in the past six months have left the vaudeville field alone to look for jobs. There is nothing particularly funny about that

UNIQUE RESULTS
REPORTED FROM
HUDSON'S TESTS

Final returns on the Hudson re-
liability tests undertaken by Hud'
son distributors throughout the
country during the month of May
shows that 80 Great Fights complet'
ed in excess of 100000 miles during
the seven day nonstop tests. In
every ease the motor was sealed and
the runs staged in city traffic, IN
hill-climbing and in speed tests, III
addition to inter-city runs.
Hudson officials state that no mo
tor failed, no parts were replaced
and no adjustments were required.
Among the spectacular tests made
during the nonstop sealed in high
runs was an endurance, performance
and gasoline test in California.
where a Great Eight standard coach
completed eight trips between San
francisco and Los Angeles, a dis
tance of 6,977 miles. This distance
is equivalent to run from san
Francisco to New York and return
and eastward again as far as Salt
Lake City. Gas consumed averaged
1873 gallons and total oil consump-
tion was only l2l2 quarts.

permitted, under the present manage
ment. A fair and impartial ac-
count of the various steps in any court
procedure, fulfills the duty of a news
paper, and this the Press did in the pres
ent instance.
Although the prosecutor and mis- assist
ants and police officials may believe
from the start that an accused is guilty,
the newspaper must always recognize
the fundamental principle of American
justice that every man accused of crime
Is to be presumed innocent until he is
proved guilty in court.
Commenting on trial, either in the
editorial columns or the news columns,
is not permitted in this publication, which
believes that every case should go to court
and be tried there solely on its merits,
without attempts to gain convictions or
acquittals through the newspapers.
If these unwritten but highly ethical
rules of the newspaper profession irk or
irritate those who attempt to use the
press for their own ends, it is just their
misfortune A free press to us really
means free press, with the accused just
as much entitled to square deal as the
man who arrests, prosecutes or tries
him.

SCHOOL BUS IS
GROWING FACTOR
IN MODERN LIFE

"Modern schools, impressive in
architecture, permanent IN construc-
ton with extensive facilities which
are. replacing the little red cross
roads school houses at the rate OF
$500 a year." says A. II. Ferrandou,
sales manager of Dodge Brothers
Motor Coach division.
"School bus transportation" he
continued, dis a necessary and grow
ing factor in this great centraliza-
tion movement. About 10000 motor
conveyances are now in use and the
cost Of pupil transportation in,
America today is approximately
$40, 900 annually.
"Pupil transportation has been
reduced to systematic business
basis. Equipment must be as mod
ern, dependable, economical and safe
as the magnificent, scientifically
designed educational institutions
that are built to render a lasting
service to the community. The
make,shift, poorly-built school bus

transportation is as much a
part and parcel modern school
endeavor as is the gymnasium, the
auditorium, the cafeteria and all the
other essential departments. Ap-
proximately one-third of the states
now grant financial aid specifically
for this purpose. Buses are required
to operate efficiently in all kinds of
weather. They must be as safe as
the fire escapes, as attractive as the
well appointed class rooms and as
sturdy and durable relatively as
the up-to-date reinforced concrete
school structures.

buses are used in cities and rural
districts throughout the country,

KEYES ON PRISON TERMS

A few months of prison confinement,
have greatly changed the viewpoint of
Asa Keyes, formerly the fighting prose-
cutor of Los Angeles county, now pris
oner in San Quentin for accepting bribes.
AS prosecutor, Keyes was stlckler
for heavy penalties, including long pris-
on terms. He now asserts that the long
prison term is not necessary for the first
offender.
: To take a first offender and confine
him in prison for period of years, is to
make a real criminal of him, Keyes con-
tends, asserting that one who is treated IN
this fashion goes out from prison into the
world, not determined to make good, but
to gain revenge on the society that has
imprisoned him.
He advocates a sort of sliding scale"
for penitentiary sentences, with long
terms being imposed only on those who
have committed major crimes, or who
have been returned to prison after hav-
ing once been freed
The unthinking will say that Keyes
is whining at his own fate. Perhaps he is,
although we do not think so. There is
world of truth in what he says, and the
large number of recent prison outrages
prove beyond question that we have mucn
to learn about Furnishing those convnctec
of violating the law.
A man of Keyes intelligence is worth
listening to, especially now that he mas

happy again. Soon she was hopping
alcng through the woods beside her
father who carried the pieces of
his flashlight in his pocket.
All of sudden, as Jingle was
running along, she tripped and
stumbled and before Uncle Wiggily
could catch her, the little rabbit
girl fell into deep, puddle off
water.
"0h, blubl Club! Wugl Help me
outl" blurted Jingle.
Don't be afraid! I'll save you,
creid Uncle Wiggily. Standing on
the edge of the puddle, Uncle Wig
gllv lifted out his ittle rabbit girl.
She wasn't hurt any but she was
quite wet and so was her father,
for she splashed him.
"Oh, I'll never get dry. again!
Never." sobbed Jingle.

dry, and so will l." chuSkled Tn
Gle Wiggily "I'll build little bon

stone and I'll make the fire"
But when Uncle Wiggily looked
for his matches they had all fallen
outsef his pocket into the puddle.
And You can't light wet matches.
"Oh, now we can't have fire!"
sighed Jingle.
''Yes we canl" her father said
with a laugh. "The sun viii light

the lens, of bullseye, glass from the
flashlight. Gathering some sticks
and bit of dry paper, Uncle Wig
gily held the lens glass in bright
ray Of sunlight that shone on the
pile. a tiny hot spot of light shone
on the paper through the glass.
Soon little curl of smoke arose.
In another moment the paper burst
into flames which caught on the
wood and soon there was Il fine fire
to dry Jingle.
"How aid the glass from the
flashlight make fire." asked the
bunny child. Then Uncle Wiggily
told her how the curved glass, or
lens, gathered a lot of sunshine into
a tiny spot which was so hot it set
the paper on fire. The bullseye
was burning glass. Soon Jingle
was dry.
Then she and her daddy hoped
to the store and bought new little
lamp bulb for the flashlight and
all was well. And if you hear the

COlMMUNISM NOT EOR US

Verdict of an Imperial. Valley. jury
Last night declared that this community
lis convinced that membership in an or
ganization which has for its object the
overthrow of the established form of
government, is a crime.
Nine alleged members of the conmun-
lstic party were found guilty after trial
lasting three weeks, during which the
battle to convict them was bitterly
fought
Testimony of the accused was divided,
some stoutly asserting no violence was
intended in their program and that they
sought only to gain better working con-
ditions for the laborers. Others admit
ted that if force were necessary to gain
their objective, they were ready to use
it.
A mass of communistic literature, in
troduced as evidence, and which had been
conficated at the headquarters of the
communistic organization in Brawley,
was extremely radical in nature, advocat-
ing the cause of Red Russia as the cause
for the American worker.
The accused had the benefit of skillful
counsel, who fought every step of the
way to justify their beliefs and convince
the jury that no crime had been COM
nlCCeQ.
For the state. District Attorney Heald
and his associates fought just as skill
fully and just as persistently to uphold
the criminal syndicalism law of Calltor-
MIA under which the accused were being
tried, and proved to the jury's satisfac-
tion that this law had been violated on
each of three counts.
The verdict means that Imperial Val
ley wants none of Red Russia and that
the American form of government is con-
sidered good enough for US.
Throughout the trial, and even before
it started. pressure was brought to bear
on the press of the valley 60 "play it up.
