CIover's Correction

There must be moments when Second Assistant Post
master General Irving Glover wishes he had never
learned to talk and newspapers had learned to
print AS I applauded his frankness in telling post
masters of Missouri to get little book and defend
Hoover now deplore his denial that the words ascrbed
to him correct. To be perfectly fair quote the
words Mr.. Glover has now given them out:
eve are all Americans and country is going
through perious times, and, whether we are Repub-
lcans, Democrats, Socialists PrOhibonsts, all should
stand fOur-square back of our President.
"It is time for all of us, including the pOstmasters,
to be the firing line to assist in every and to
support the Presidents program bring this nation out
Of the serious times through which are passing:
eff there any pOstmasters who do not want to do
this it is up them to resign and will be glad to
take their designations back to Washington with
where will be on Monday"
Not Better, But Worse
Oddly enough Mr.. Glover thinks that this version is
in some way honorable than the first, which said
in effect, "Work for Hoover get out" To me the
present statement while less actonabe politically, is
such qualification of the intellect seldom occurs
even in politics What Mr.. Glover says is, after all,
"My President, right wrong" without the
ing grace of "rnay he always be right

EXPERTS FAVOR
PRINCIPLE Of
HEARST PLAN
Economists, Business Men for
Prosperity Loan; Congress
Studies Several Bills

Several bills have been in
troduced in Congress embody-
ing in some degree the prin-
ciple of the Hearst plan for a
prosperity loan to stimulate
business by giving employ
ment on a large scale through
public works.
Senator La Toilette and War
ner have introduced such bills
and the Democratic organization
in the Senate is now at work on
a similar measure. .,
These bills in general call for
smaller bond issue than that
suggested by Mr.. Hearst, but
their purpose is the same.
For Any Sound Measure
Senator Wagner recently inter.
rogated numerous economists,
business men, labor leaders and
other persons Of prominence re.
garding his public works bill, to
obtain as many opinions as pos.
Sible regarding the economic
SoundneSs of the measure.
From every part of the coun.
try expressions of opinion have
come in, commencing the pur.
pose Of the bill and indicating
belief that it would do much to
restore normal economic condi.
tionS.
Mr.. Hearst has made it known
on many occasions that he is not
concerned with the passage of
any particular bill to establish a
prosperity loan, but that he fa-
vors any sound measure for that
purpose.
Urge Larger Loan !
The expressions Of opinion on
the Wagner bill, therefore, are
applicable to the Hearst plan, ex-
cept in details, the most impor-
tant Of which is the size of the
bond issue to be negotiated.
Three important communica-
tionS to Senator Wagner are
from Washingtonians, John p.
Frey, head Of the Metal Trades
Department Of the american
Federation of Labor: H. G. Moul.
ton, president Of the Brookings
Institution. and DR.. D. o. Kins-
man, OF American University.

The experience In the schools
has been, Mr.. Haycock pointed
out, that when students leaving
the schools are unable to obtain
employment, they turn back to
education.
It is expected that boys and
girls, who, under ordinary cir.
cumstances, would seek jobs after
leaving school, will complete
Junior and senior high school
work because of the prevailing
unemployment.
Under the present regulations,
child cannot work until he has
completed the eighth grade or

Unless business conditions i'm
prove within the next few
months, the Washington schools,
already crowded beyond capacity,
will receive a huge increase in
enrolment in September in ex-
cess of the numbers anticipated
by school officials, Robert l..
Haycock. assistant superintendent
of schools, predicted today.
With the school construction
program crippled under the pend
ing appropriation bill, school Of
ficials feel that the enrolment
increase, caused by students fail
ing to obtain employment, will
create a great congestion in the

The fruit and vegetable market, as
often happens, followed Il course
somewhat independent of other COM
modities after the middle OF the
month. In a week of generally ris-
ing prices, many of the vegetables
sold a little lower. The shipping
movement, which had been checked
by unfavorable weather and road
conditions in the West, has recoY-
cred sharply with an increase of
about one-fourth since the low point
of carlot shipments around the first
of the year. Some holders of pro-
duce in storage seem more disposed
to ship and sell without waiting for
price up-tuTns. Shipments of south
ern produce show the increase eX-
pected at this season. Some of the
truck crop sections are beginning
shipments several weeks in advance
of the usual time.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes de-
clined in some markets but gained
in a few others. Even the onion
market, because of larger supplies,
has shown 4 rather irregular ten
dency so far this month, but has
been firm at shipping points since
the middle of February. On the other
hand, cabbage, old and new, is i'll
moderate receipt and shows some
recent price advances. especially i'll
southern producing sections. Car
rots fully hold recent price gains.
Most southern vegetables followed
the declining price trend to be ex-
pected at this season. Apples,
oranges and grapefruit have tended
slightly downward since the first of
the year.

$93.59 on City'S Bond
ed Indebtedness
ed Indebtedness.

If the 1881 tax levy in the city
had been divided equally among the
population, each citizen would have
been presented with a bill for
5000, according to figures released
today by the bureau of census in
Washington.
Assessed valuation of property in
the city was $67,660,24o, according
to the report, on which $685. 1857
was levied.
Compared with 1880, each of the
1863 300 persons in the city was
charged $1.96 less. The 1880 per
capita levy was $5295.
Operation and maintenance of
general departments of the city cost
each person $39.S9 during the year,
slightly more than the 1880 cost OF
$3964. This cost increases if public
service enterprises, debt interest and
permanent improvements are added
to bring the government cost to
SIG ,588, sos instead of the general de-
partment cost of $14,749, Alb.
OF the per capita share of ex-
penses, $4.55 went for interest on
the public debts, for which 81 ,6S5, 932
was paid out of the city Golfers.
And speaking of debt, this citizen
who boasts he "owes not any man"
is not entirely truthful, because &C
cording to the bureau of census
figures, he owes approximately
$93.59 as his share of the city'S in

FOR
RADIO WAR ON
UTILITY RIVAL
City Pastor to Begin His
Fight for Church Sta
ton in September.

The first step in the battle of the
Rev. Morris Coers, pastor of the
Thirty First Street Baptist church,
to establish an Indianapolis radio
station, despite the protests of his
wealthy opponent, the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company, will be
taken early in September.
Date for the hearing before the
federal radio commission has not
been set definitely.
Mr.. Coers seeks to establish sta
ton WED at the church for broad
cast of religious, educational and
musical programs. The commission
issued a permit, but suspended it
after protest by WFBM, the power
and light company's station.
Petitions are being circulated
throughout the state by churches
and individuals to gain support OF
the move. Hundreds of letters have
been received by Mr.. Coers.
Following is one which came from
woman who is a "shut in" in
Castleton, Ind. 1t was addressed
to The Times:
This letter is to voice my sin
cere appreciation of your stand in
regard to the broadcasting station
of the Thirty-f1rst Street Baptist
church," the letter says.
Il am a shut in having taken
the cure for tuberculosis for several
months. I have looked forward
each week to the opportunity of
hearing Mr.. CoerS speak on the
radio. Should this station be re-
fused, many other shut ms, in adj
dition to myself, would miss the
comfort his talks always affords us"
