files lack the bare necessities of living are likely to regard 1t as their right to take food where they find it.
 And who among us can guaran- tee that he would not be tempted If his family were starvipg?" he asked. With food so cheap that wheat is burned in the public street and grain in the field, who can wonder at the indignation of those who ask nothing more than the chance to earn food by the la Dor of their hands, and yet can find no job"
 The objection to federal relief on the ground it is paternalistic and will pauperize the people 1t saves from starving is unfounded, Pinchot said. He said the people the government saved from. starv- ing in the Mississippi flood were not pauperized, and that there was nothing paternalistic when the government stepped in to save the forests.
 Besides federal aid, he said, there must be the usual help from private and municipal sources. He continued:
 The truth that I see with the utmost clearness Is this; 1t is high time for the people to look next winter squarely in the face and begin to get ready for 1t for with reserves exhausted, credit gone, possessions sold, and the margin of safety generally evap- orated for millions of people, we cannot escape the paradoxical fact that if the coming winter is as bad as the last one, 1t will be in- finitcly worse.
 Private charity must be made to carry all 1t can. In addition to the millions already spent, the people of Pennsylvania are pre- pairing through their local organ izations to raise every possible cent from private resources. It will be no easy task, for the owners of great fortunes have not yet fully come to understand that the pen alty for letting people go hungry

FIRES AND FLOOD
 WATERS IN CHINA
 TOOK MANY LIVES
Refugees From the Floods Were Trapped as Fire Swept Away Homes

Shanghai, Aug 13.-(UP)-Fires ragged in the Hankow area in cen- tral China to-day, adding to the casualties and property damage all ready high as result of the worst floods in 50 years. The roaring waters of the rising Yangtze river, sweeping out of the streams broad banks over the countryside for miles, reached new high level. The flames destroyed hundreds Of houses in the Chinese city at Han kow. Many refugees from the flood were trapped and perished either in the fire or the rivers swift waters.
 Fire fighting was impossible, ow- ing to the deep water in the streets. Panic spread through the stricken area. Scores of sampans, or small Chinese rowboats, were pressed into service in an effort to save the trapped families. The casualties were not estimated, but it was feared scores lost their lives in the fire.

next winter will apply not only to ] those who starye, but also to those who let them starve."
 l Public works, Pinchot said, have been widely heralded in high places as the remedy for unemployment. But we know now that public works on any scale yet undertaken can do little more than scratch the surface. The actual problem is not | to make work for the needy in | the coming winter months. The problem Is to feed them, for we know already that work cannot be found"
 A program of public works un- dertaken now, except on a gigantic scale, would help comparatively little this winter, the speaker sald. for 1t would come too late and the problem is too great. William Ran dolph Hearst's suggestion for national loan of $5,000, 900, 900 (billion) would have gone far to meet the situation If it could have been adopted when made, he said, but even if congress should au- thoriZe the loan when 1t meets In December, work could not be or ganized in time to meet the crisis.
 "The pollyannas and human os- triches who bury their heads in the sand and maintain that blue is green and black is white" were scored by the speaker.
 "The goddess of these gentlemen Is Pollyanna and their slogan: Prosperity is just around the cor ner.' But since their twitterings began we have rounded so many corners without finding the prom ised prosperity, that even these Meuzzins in their rose tinted min- arets have begun to doubt their own infallibility.
 His addresses, Pinchot said. nn- doubtedly would be condemned, denounced or ridiculed as a bid for the republican presidential nomination.
 Tt is nothing of the sort,' he declared. This nation has come to a pretty pass if a man cannot say what needs to be said in the public interest without being charged with political intention"
 Pinchot said that some men of vast wealth may argue that fed eral aid means federal taxation, and added that he paid taxes in the higher brackets, and would rather see his taxes raised than see millions of men, women and children go hungry and cold.

 If we can declare a moratorium to help Germany, if we can recom- mend a loan of $1,200,00O,000 for Germany, what is there wrong In a federal loan to feed the needy in America 2" he asked.
 "A man can be in heartily sym pathy with MT Hoover's morato- rum, his loan for Germany, and his plan generally to pull Ger many out of her troubles, and at the present time more interested in seeing the government of the United States, the only power to do 1t, take hold and pull our own people out of their troubles.
 "The saving of Germany Is largely a question of protecting in- ternational loans. Very well. Let them be protected. But why not a little care for our own people from q paWnbroker, because they nave HOLHlnB IeIL to DiVube'
 The government has appropriate ed in the past. Pinchot eaid, funds to help those in need in foreign countries, "and if those have been aided, the needy of our own land cannot fairly be denied"
 Warning that empty stomachs of the depression were d breed- ing ground and harvest time for revolutionists and other trouble makers was sounded by the gov ernor.

 Detailed description of the man was furnished by Norman Eng land, 13-year old night waiter in the safe. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Goodridge, on night patrol in Mi- Ian, established that the stranger did not enter the cafe with the youthful quartet.
 Goodridge saw the four enter the cafe, Lore appearing drunk, he said. He watched to see whether the driver of the car was in similar condition, planning to detain them, but the condition of other members of the party was satisfactory, he said.
