To Move Slowly
In Oil Permit


LOS ANGELES, May ID. U.P)-
Every interest in the Goleta sands
pit, near Santa Barbara. will be
considered before any action is
taken by the department of the in
terror which would throw the land
open for oil exploitation, Senator
Samuel Shortridge was informed
today by Secretary Ray Lyman
wilbur
Senator Shortridge had protested
TO Secretary Wilbur against any
modification of the present beach
status. which was withdrawn from
entry as public lands several years
ago.
Santa Barbara civic and county
interests are solidly against drilling
for oil on public beaches, and par
sticularly at Goleta Slough, scene
OF a county park, Shortridge in
formed the secretary.
Senator Shortridge urged that all
Santa Barbara organizations be
heard before any oil concessions
were granted.
Governor James Rolph Jr. last
week declared he would resist any
reputed action of state officers to
permit drilling on the beach in
order to swell state revenues by oil
royalties from state tidelands.

having started But Uncle Wiggily
called:
"Louderl Louder. LOUDER" The
flies footed, the drums beat, the
fiddles squeaked but still Uncle
Wiggily cried: Louder"
Then, all of a sudden, Baby Bum
ty gave them a surprise. From her
pocket the little orphan rabbit took
willow whistle which Uncle Wig
gily had made for her in the woods
the day before. 1t was very shrill
whistle, like the large one Uncle
Wiggily had made for himself to
call the Police Dog to drive away
the Bob Cat.
"Whool Whool Whee! blew Bum
ty on her surprise whistle. The
tones mingled with the toots of the
flies, the beats of the drums and
the fiddle squeaks of the other chill
dren and so rounded out the band
music that Uncle Wiggily no long
er had TO call louder 1t was loud
enough now, with Bunty blowing
her whistle.
why, Bunty! I didn't know you
could play whistlei" said the La
dy Mouse Teacher when the second
verse was over and Uncle Wiggily
was scratching his pink, twinkling
nose with the end Of the blackboard
pointer. What jolly surprise you
gave usi
"Yes, and what a jolly surprise
am going to give you'll" all of a
sudden hoWled loud voice and the
WooAie Wolf popped himself into
the school room where the first con-
cert was being played.
"Oh, oh, dear mel screamed Miss
Mouse.
Don't be afraid" brayely called
Bunty. I'll surprise that Wolff
With that Bunty blew SO loudly on
her willow whistle that the Police
Dog again came running TO the res
cue. He made the Wolf jump out
of the window and then everything
was peace and happiness. And the
children played another piece with
Bunty blowing her whistle louder
than any of them. So it all hap
pened for the best, and If the onion
will please stop jumping into the
ice cream when it ought to go to
sleep in the potato salad, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and
the screamer.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND BUNTY'S
SURPRISE

Uncle Wiggily stood on the front
platform in the Hollow Stump
School. The Lady Mouse Teacher
sat on the piano stool. At their
desks all the animal boys and girls
were ready to play in the grand
music concert which the rabbit
gentleman was going to lead. Baby
Bunty. the orphan rabbit, was the
only pupil who did not have
mouth organ, a horn, a tin fife,
drum, a fiddle or something upon
which, or out of which, TO make
music.
But Baby Bunty had one paw
deep down in her dress pocket.
And in her paw Baby Bunty held
well, you shall hear about that when
the time comes. But Baby Bunty
was smiling and so was Uncle Wig
gily And he was twinkling his pink
nose and winking one eye and be-
tween Uncle Wiggily and Baby
Bunty there was a great secret sur

NOT HEROES

Every so often, just about the time we
have become firmly convinced that cap
*btal punishment should be abolished,
#lsome incident occurs to make US believe
THAT there are individuals in this world
For whom the death penalty is in fact,
mot punishment enough.
= The principal objection we have had to
. capital punishment, is the length of time
between sentence and execution. 1t
savors too much of the cat playing with
the mouse.
But the case of Robert O'Neill and
and William Hudson, makes US believe
that capital punishment is going to be
very little punishment for them.
Hudson is % and O'Neill is 81, yet
both are ex-convicts with long criminal
records. Last December, while engaged
in robbery in Los Angeles, their work
was interrupted by another young man
who was attracted by the cries of the
man being robbed.
The young man was constable ana
when he made his identity known, Hud-
son surrendered to him. While trying
to capture O'Neill, who was few feet
away, Hudson stabbed the officer in the
back Both were convicted of first de-
gree murder and sentenced to be hanged.
When the sentence was pronounced,
beth threw back their heaus ana laugneu,
cracked jokes and had gay old time
They were still laughing and Joking when
led away from the court.
If capital punishment is such big
Joke to them, it is almost pity the state
cannot play the joke on them several
times. They have shown no remorse or
regret for their criminal career, nor for
the young man whose death they caused.
They know no such feeling as pity. why
should the state show pity or mercy to
them?
There will be many who will look up
on the attitude of Hudson and ONeill as
nerve To such this pair will appear
as 'heroes", who go to their death laugh
ing and unafraid. 1t is no such thing.
We would be willing to bet that O'Neill
and Hudson laughed because they firm
ly believe they can still beat the rap
and we wouldn't bet that they can't.
The very manner in which the murder
was coFmitteed proved them contempt
BILE towards.

One. two, three = begin

We'll, I think we are all ready
to begin the music" said Uncle
Wiggily, who had the blackboard
pointer with which to keep time.
Has each boy or girl something on
which to play?'
"Al! except Baby Bunty." spoke
Miss Mouse. You know she was
so late choosing what she would
play that all the musical things
were taken and none was left for
poor Bunty."
yes, l know" said Uncle Wiggily,
smiling a bit.
"Oh, but began Bunty.
Quiet, pleasei" warned Mr..
Longears and Bunty sank back in
her seat. She and Uncle Wiggily
had come to the Hollow Stump
School Just in time for the start Of
the band concert and Miss Mouse
had asked the rabbit gentleman TO
lead.
"All ready!" called Mr. Longears.
"One, two, three-begin!
l wish you could have been there
to hear that music! But, as you
couldn't, III tell you about l. Some
of the animal boys and girls played
mouth organs, some blew on tin
flies, some beat drums while the
Lady Mouse Teacher played the
"tumpity, tump tump decide
dee" and very nice music it was.
"Oh what a fine leader Uncle
Wiggily isl squeaked the Lady
Mouse as she took the end of her
long. thin tail TO play the very last,
highest tinkleinkle key on the pia-
no. Pm so glad I thought of let
ting my pupils make up q music

Baby Bunty has nothing 10 play"
please don't worry about me,
Miss Mouse" said Bunty, the little
orphan rabbit. I'm going to"
Quiet, pleasel Not yet. Buntyl
Not yeti" warned Uncle Wiggily, so
the little bunny child sank back in
her seat with her paw still in her
dress pocket.
Isn't our concert just grandp'
squeaked the Lady Mouse.
"Yes, the first verse was played
very well" said Uncle Wiggily. Now
we shall start the second verse but
want 1t played louder. Do you
hear, my dears," he said, much
/ louder" And he looked at Bunty.

A DANGEROUS SITUATION

This business of looting the liquor
supply of foreign legations at Wash
ington, is fraught with danger to the
peace and tranquility of the good old L.
S. A.
Having tried it out on a small nation,
Salvador, and found that it will work, it
is quite possible that Washington gang
sters may move into larger fields. 1t
may come as surprising to some that
there are gangsters in the national cap
ital, but they are there the same as IN
every large American city.
What might not happen, if the gang
sters decided to choose the cellar of his
British Majesty's legation, for instance,
as the scene of their next exploit? Such
an outrage would almost warrant an
other voyage up the Potomac, with war
ships spouting death and destruction
and another burning of the capitol and
White House. Perhaps Mr. Hoover will
yet have to run with the state silverware
as Mr.. Madison did on a previous occas-
ion.
Or worse than that-what if they
choose the Italian legatloni After what
he did to our leading marine general, it is
difficult to imagine what Signor Musso-
lini would do to any nation which would
permit, or could not prevent, such an
dl1IOHl W Tic diSilily VI Ilaly Naiie
MussolinD.
The state department has ordered
special guards placed around the various
legations to hold off the visits of gang
sters. That is hardly enough. Special
guards don't rate very highly. They
should take it up with the war and navy
departments and at least have a couple
of admirals and generals at each place.
OF course if our state department was
what state department really should
be, it would take the matter up diploma
tically with Signor Mussolini and get
him to assign Primo Carnera as lega-
ton guard. Primo would be as good as
an entire army and the rest of us would
not have to go to bed at night fearing
that the trumpet call would sound in the
morning summoning us to defend our
selves from an Italian spanking.
