Just Plain Sense

Views of Times Readers

Editor Times-As secretary of
the old age pension committee of
the United Mine Workers of
America, I hope you will grant
me space to call attention of your
readers to the fact that the
Democratic party and its candi-
date for Governor pledged them
selves to give Indiana an old age
pension law. A bill is pending in
the house of representatives that
is fair and just to all and much
more economical in providing for
the needs of aged dependents than
the present poorhoUse system, as
proved by the experience of many
of our states that have had old
age pension laws in operation for
several years.
The miners are not asking this
law for the benefit of miners only,
but for needy citizens of the state
in general. The pending bill
makes its mandatory on the coun-
ties to pay their proportionate
share of the pension. There are
a few stallers who would like to
amend the bill by making it OPP
tional with the county.
Such amendment really would
kill the measure and is offered in
behalf Of political rings and high
salaried officers Of the poorhouse.
The working people are not going
to be deceived by any such stuff.
If the party pledge is not kept

It Seems to Me by Haywood Broun

T DO not think the point ever
l. should have been raised, but
of late some of the newspapers
have been commenting on the
various activities of Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
I think the point should not be
raised because, in my opinion, the
whole question is a matter be-
longing to Mrs. Roosevelt's deci-
sion and no affair of the electo-
rate.
In letters printed in several
editorial columns I find the
phrase, or it's equivalent, "Now
that Mrs. Roosevelt has been
chosen as first lady of the land"
-. There is no such Office, and
there never has been.
I think it would be an excellent
idea to drop the whole conception
which marks the wife Of the Fresi-
dent as having any official con-
nection with the administration.
There even have been cam
paigns in which voters seriously
discussed the merits Of a candi-
dates wife, just as if the lady in
question were running for public
office. The wife of a king, save
under special and unusual cir
cumStanceS, is a queen, but there
is no such thing as Mrs. Presi-
dent.
We have instead Mrs. Madi-
son or Mrs. Adams, to get back to
the remoter administrations.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-02-04

rather than in her favor if she
quit certain causes with which
she has been associated simply
on account Of the fOrtuitOus cir
cUmStance that her husband hap
pens to have been chosen as
President.
For instance, I was a little con-
cerned during the campaign that
ammunition might be made of
the fact that Mrs. Roosevelt is
a member of an organization
which selected Margaret Sanger
as its honored guest.
believe the group presented
Mrs. Sanger with some token
signifying that in its opinion she
had done the most useful work
Of any American woman during
the current year. I think it was
a highly intelligent choice, and
I hope that Mrs. Roosevelt par
ticipated IN it,
And yet it would have been
Unfair to aSsail Franklin D.
Roosevelt as an exponent of birth
control because his wife hap
pened to be a great admirer of
Mrs. Sanger.
I would be glad to have Mr..
Roosevelt come out for birth con-
troll, but I certainly think that
he can not be identified as one
with or against the cause until
he speaks up for himself.
You may think, as I do, that
Babies, Just Babies is rather
silly title for magazine, but I
see no reason why Mrs. RooSe-
welt should not be the editor if
that is her will and pleasure.
Indeed, I am delighted to know
that we are going to have a
woman in the White House who
feels that, like Ibsens Nora. she
is, before all else, a human being
and that she has a right to her
own individual career, regardless
of the prominence of her hus-
band.

1T will be remembered that
i President Coolidge suffered for
several weeks with such symptoms
previous to his death. In most
newspaper accounts of fatal in
digestion, the patient is found at
post-mortem examination to have
been suffering from a disturbance
Of coronary arteries.
Most people with this disease
are past so years of age, but
occasionally there are cases be-
tween 40 and so. Rarely, if ever,
is the condition seen under 35
years Of age.
If the attack takes place grad
ually. the other blood vessels
which supply blood TO the heart,
may take over the function Of the
one which is blocked.
There may be slight changes in
the heart with symptoms during
this process, but under such cir
cumStances the condition is not
necessarily fatal.

Editor Times-I am against the
repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment because Intoxicating liquor
is the greatest curse in a nation.
Not only does it ruin the lives of
individuals, physically, socially,
financially, industrially, and NOR
ally, but breaks up homes, pro-
duces poverty, works against eff
cheney, and produces criminals at
a greater rate than any other one
thing in life.
1t is just as much of law
breaker as harmful drugs, adulter-
ated foods, narcotics, and other
poisons. Eminent medical author
tiles are agreed that it has no
medicinal value. Why, then,
should our federal government
permit it to come back and con-
tribute to the destruction of its
citizens?

Co7orful Careers

T NCOLN ELLSWORTH, born
l. in Hudson, o.. is financing
the expedition. His father was
James j. Ellsworth, coal and rail-
way magnate. Ellsworth achieved
a lifetime ambition when he went
into the Arctic with Amundsen in
May, 1925.
The two tried to reach the
north pole by airplane, but were
forced down within 1876 miles Of
the pole.
It was on May 81 that they took
off from Spitzbergen. They were
lost TO the world until June Is,
when they succeeded in getting
one of their planes back into the
air and returned to Spitzbergen
with their companions.
On May II, 1926, Amundsen and

The Ratp of the Nine

CERTAIN ladies in the White
~ House have been gracious
h0Stesses. Others have been less
successful. But in no instance
that can remember has it made
a nlckel'S worth of difference one
way or another. Surely our for
elgn relations and domestic pol
itics should not be swayed one
way or another by the personality
OF the Presidents wife.
The country is not likIey ever to
depend upon her taste in frocks
or adjectives. Save in the DAYS of
Andrew Jackson, the matter never
has come up in an important way.
There was a President once who
put his wife neatly out of the
political picture. He was en-
gagged in earnest and intimate dis
cussion with one of the chief
leaders of his party. They could
not see eye to eye upon the is
sue under discussion. Finally, the
leader pointed dramatically to a
Photograph of the Presidents wife
which adorned, the desk of the
chief executive.
We'll, anyway" he said, "the lit
tie woman agrees with me and
not with you on this question"

dent, and that's because she's as

rumor went around that, though
such and such a senator was him

it?
Within the realm of our own

couples who differ violently upon
many important problems. know
a charming pair who have lived
happily for many years, although
he is a hypochondriac and she
does not believe in vaccination. I
even know a man and woman
who have gone through five years
of married life with no perceptible
ructions, in spite of the fact that
she belongs to the Communist
party while he is Socialist.
And, of course, the union OF.

successful.
According to the traditional
idea of political America, the
First Lady of the Land" must be
a person who says, yes, dear,
you're entirely right" whenever
her husband, the President, ex-
presses his views of anything from
the novels of Sinclair Lewis to
high protective tariff.
Now, it stands to reason that no
one who adopted that line of con-
duct possibly could be the first
anything. The best that yes"
men or yes" women can hope to
achieve is second place.

SCIENCE
Polar Secrets Sought
BY DAVID DIETZ

A TRIO of the worlds most
IN colorful explorers is getting
ready for another attack upon the
secrets of the Antarctic. They
are Lincoln Ellsworth, Sir Hubert
wilkins and Bernt Balchen.
The three recently finished test
ing their powerful Northrop Gam
ma plane at the TeterbOro airport
in New Jersey. The plane is being
Grated for shipping to northern
Canada, presumably for tests I'M
der Arctic conditions. It is
equipped with a 500-horse power
Wasp motor and can make 211
miles an hour.
It was designed by Jack Nor
throp, who built the machine III
which Sir Hubert wilkins and
Carl Ben Eielson made their trip
over the Arctic, from Alaska to
Spitzbergen, over the so-called
pole Of inaccessibility.
It is understood that the plane
will be flown from this CONT
nent to New Zealand, and then
to Antarctica.
The expedition, known as the
ellsworth Trans-Antarctic Flight
Expedition, probably will arrive
on the Antarctic continent in No
vember or December of this year.
The expedition will make it's
headquarters at Framheim, on the
Bay Of Wales, near where both
Captain Amundsen and Admiral
Byrd spent the winters in their
respective conquests Of the south
pole by dog team and airplane.

TIME expedition plans to fly
Il from this base in an eaSterly
direction right across the middle
of the Antarctic continent. The
explorers will fly to the Weddell
sea on the opposite side of
Antarctica, a distance of 1,450
miles.
Then, without landing, they
plan to turn and retrace their
path to the Bay of Wales, thus
making a total flight Of 1900
miles.
There will be no attempt on the

the expedition will resemble the
Arctic flight of Kilkins, when he
and Eielson chose to fly over the
unexplored region of the pole of

over the north pole itself.
The Bay Of Wales and the

The Sluggers won double
Iiheader exhibition of baseball Sum
day after losing four straight to
the Pirates. They sure did look
lslike a different ball club.
i don't know, but maybe it was
| Castillo and E. Albury that were
in the lineup that gave the club
1.-THE pep it displayed during the
game.
In the first game they played
Iserrorless ball, and in the second
contest they made four runs with
the Pirates obtaining two.
As to the hitting, Bethel sure
did sock the apple right on the
nose, a triple and a single. 3
E. Garcia and Gates played a
good game at third. They both
handled six chances without a mis-
cue.
Both clubs made one earned
run.
1t was shown that the Pelicans,
with few more games, will be
able to win and lose with the best
clubs.
It seemed that the boys had a
little stage fright. In the fifth
frame Ingraham hit a foul ball
into left field, and the ball knock
ed McGee's cap off, while he was
sitting out there watching the
game.
AS to the second game. the
Singers in the very first frame
broke Casa's scoreless innings
Perez dropped a long fly to cen
ter. He claims he caught the ball
but dropped it in an attempt to
throw to third to catch the rum
ner, but the umpire ruled that he
dropped the ball when it hit his
glove.
Then Fruto came up and doub-
led to left center and two run
ners came over the plate. G.. Con-
zalez made a wonderful catch off
Mayg's hard rap over the center
fielder's head, but Griffin made a
long run and caught the ball.
There were many other good
plays made during the game.
