JACK WALTON is
BEATEN IN VOTE
0uSted Ex-Governor of
Oklahoma Defeated
for Mayor.

BIZ United Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, april 8. - A
defeated candidate in Oklahoma
City's mayoralty election, John c.
(Jack) Walton was thrust back to-
day into the political oblivion from
which he sought to emerge after
his impeachment as Governor.
BY a majority Of nearly 5000
votes, Clarence J. Blinn, a, an at
torney, defeated Walton Tuesday.
Semi-of1cial tabulations, with only
one precinct lacking, gave Blinn,
Is ,l69; Walton, 1921.
The campaign for mayor was
Walton's biggest attempt at a po-
litical comeback since he was ousted
from the Governors chair in 1928.
1T was a great victory for the
forces Of righteousness against those
of graft, vice and corruption" Blinn
said. oklahoma City could not
afford to have another jolt of
'Waltonism.' D."
1t was expected Walton would go
into voluntary political exile at his
home in Houston, Tex.
Walton was mayor of Oklahoma
City thirteen years ago. Four years
later he was elected Governor of the
state by the largest majority ever
accorded a gubernatorial candidate
at that time.
In the Ku-Klux Klan uprising of
1928, Walton was charged with cor
ruption in office. He declared state
wide martial law and forbade as
sembly Of grand juries, but could
not forestall Impeachment.
Last summer Walton waged an
unsuccessful campaign for the
United States senate, as he had
done in 1926.

ciety can not let the burden of I'M
employment fall upon the one class
least able to bear it" Mrs. Cornelia
Bryce Pinchot said today in dis
cussing social responsibility Of the
workers problem.
Mrs. Pinchot. wife Of the Penn
syWania Governor, decried the ten
dency to accept the statement Of
the inevitability Of cyclical and sea-
sonal unemployment and urged sta
oilization Of production and long
range planning Of public works as
means Of meeting society's respon-
sibilities.
Shut of one mans wages and
you stop his buying" she said. He
can not maintain payments on his
home or on his automobile. He
makes one pair Of shoes last longer;
one suit Of clothes serve an addi-
tional season. He purchased one
loaf Of bread instead Of two; a peck
OF potatoes instead of a bushel."
Compared to Forest Fire
TN their turn, the merchant, the
wholesale dealer, the jobber and the
manufacturer and then the men
employed by the manufacturer, and
the men in the industry supplying
the factory with its raw materials
all have less work to do, less
money to spend, and as the cycle
spreads, buy less themselves and
spread the depression.
THE unemployment problem al
ways has seemed to me to be COM
parable to forest fire. First a
spark, one man out Of a job.
"Then a thin line Of fire along
the edge of the first spark, spread
ing gradually until the entire for
est, the industrial structure, is
ablaze and soon destroyed. Past
gains are wiped out, and we must
start to build the forest anew.
High Wage Theory Sound"
1.-THE theory that high wages
mean prosperity is essentially sound.
Unless you increase your consuming
public, you can't continue increased
production"
Mrs. Pinchot saw some form Of
unemployment insurance, either
through industry itself, through
labor and industry cooperating, or
through joint cooperation of gov
eminent labor and industry as an
inevitable result of the present
crisis.
at is one thing to read such
dictums-that cycles Of depression
and good times are inevitable, that
a period of unemployment must
follow a period of steady work
and it is quite another thing to see
these statistics being worked out in
the story of human lives" she said.

Launches Count ter-attack on Critics Ex-
 plains Hopes

NEW YORK, May 23.--Rudy Val lees hope is to become a recogniz- ed author, so that the public will talk about his writing just as it now does about his singing.
 vallee is serious about putting his words into print. So serious, in fact. that he already is building the groundwork AS starter there is his autobiography which, despite statements to the contrary, was entirely his own effort from the first capital letter to the final period.
 And That Ain't All.
 That isn't all that he has done and Is doing as an author. He has written numerous newspaper and magazine articles.
 When Rudy gets on the type writer he doesn't mince words. Very often radio writers who have said what he considers to be un- kind things feel the lash of his phraseology.
 Pretty Good" In English.
 Few who read about Rudy know that he was pretty good in English while at college, giving him a foun- dation for his authorship ambition.
 T was high ranking man in my freshman year at the midterm Shakespearean examination, he explains, and in my sophomore year I was among the first three high men in English"
 Vallee, although he may sing in distinctive style for which he has gained unusual fame, says he is just the average active young man. T work hard" he says, with my orchestra, and think more of how the public will appreciate my ef- forts than of myself"
