ST. LOUIS, May 25. <U.PJ-A map
and a watch that Col. Charles A..
bindbergh carried with him on his
flight to Paris six years ago have
been placed on display at Jeffer-
son Memorial here.
The two articles, with a second
watch that Lindbergh and his wife
used for taking observations dur
ing their trans-continental flight
in 1880. were sent here by the fly
er to be added to the 5000 other
articles among the Lindbergh eX-
hibitS.
In a letter to the Missouri His
torical Society. which has custody
of the exhibits, Lindbergh eX-
planned the use to which the ar
ticles had been put. The letter
follows:
Valued Possessions
I'VE are sending by express
three of our most valued possess
sions. We feel that they will be
safer in the jefferson Memorial

"One is a map which I purchas-
ed in st. Louis in 1923 about the
time of the National Air races
there. I mounted it on wing cover
ing with dope (awning covering)
and used it to record the various
croSs-country flights 1 made. The
map was carried on many of the
longer flights. Those of the Spirit
of St. Louis are marked in red.
"One is a watch which belonged
to my mothers father. I carried
it from soon after his death until
two or three years ago. This is
the watch which I carried on all
of the flights of the Spirit of st.
Louis and during all my previous
flying. It has had over 5000 hours
of flying time and has made about

Then he met Mr.. Stubtail, the

"Ah! That's fine!" said Mr.. Stub

the rest of the popcorn balls.
That will be one dollar" said
Uncle Wiggily.
What! A dollar?" Why I have

Mr.. Longears laughed and said:

HERMAN GOOD
At FIGURING

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 10. iU.H
The government will continue to
operate its weather bureau here
primarily because Congressman
Herman P. koppelmann knows mis-
arithmetic.
The department of agriculture
had determined that Hartford was
among those cities which would
lose its bureau under the economy
program. Congressman Kopple-
mann. making every possible eff
fort to have the bureau continued,
called on Secretary Wallace.
Stations we're being closed in 40
cities, Wallace pointed out, and
said he could make no exception.
we've ordered 80 per cent re-
duction in costs, and we can't make
any change Wallace said.
He then handed Kopplemann a
sheet, covered with figures, which
the department experts had drawn
up to show the reductions. Kop-
pleman studied it a few minutes
and then announced the figures
were wrong.
This layout calls for reduc-
:iop of az per cent Kopplemann
said. THAT one and a half per
cent would be enough to keep the
Hartford bureau going"
A checkup showed the congress-
man was right. and so the Hart
ford bureau will continue.

THEY'RE WHISPERING

Dispatches yesterday from Sacra-
mento advised that Governor Rolph is
considerably perturbed over a whisper
ing campaign" which he charges is be-
ing waged against him by his enemies.
They are, he claims. attempting to
saddle him with responsibility for the
sales tax, an honor CD which he dis
claims, asserting he was opposed to the
tax but had to approve it because of the
Riley-Stewart bill victory at the recent
special election. This. he says, made it
mandatory, practically, for him to APP
prove the sales tax.
1t is quite likely that his charges are
true. There is every reason to believe
that his political enemies will use the
sales tax 20 defeat him at the polls next
year.
But there has been whispering cam
paign' against him for many months.
1t is hardly possible that he did not be-
come aware of it before this. He has his
supporters throughout the state-plenty
of them-but he also has been the target
for considerable censme ever since he
assumed office, because of his willing
ness to take care of any business but
the states business.
lead parades. pose with movie stars and
go hither and thither but buckling down
at Sacramento to supervise the state gov
eminent, keep expenses down to the low
est minimum and see that the machinery
of the government operates efficiently is
something else again.
This has inspired whispering cam
paign" against him which is gradually
growing to the proportions of shout.
Men and women who must watch every
cent to maintain the ordinary necessities
of life are not likely to tolerate an atti-
tude such as the governor has adopted,
without protest. This is time for Sc
robustness and not frivolties. 1t is time
when the governor should set an eX-
ample of soberness and hard work to his
fellow citizens. They had their JOY ride
prior to 1929 and know now that they
are paying for It. Not being in position
to ''joy ride" themselves, it is only nat
ural that they should oppose his "joy

MR.. WARREN, CHAMPION

Many arguments have been heard
against construction of the All-American
canal, some reasonable and some absurd
Picking champion among the absurdi-
ties is an easy task, made so by the
claims of Lee Warren, Washington attor
ney, representing unidentified oppo-
nents at yesterdays hearing on the plan
to include the canal in the public works
program.
Warren's reason for opposing the ca
nal is that due to climatic conditions
here, it would not provide work for
Americans and that Mexican labor would
have to be employed almost exclusively.
We don't know whether Mr. Warren
has ever visited Imperial Valley. We
doubt very much that he has.
1t is a certainty that he was not here
when the state was building the highway
through the sand hills. If he had been
he would never have made yesterdays
statement.
There are hundreds of valley residents
who saw husky, hard-fisted fellows who
would split anyone in two who said they
were not Yankees working on the highway
construction. We recall watching steam
shovels operating over there and they
were run by men who were as Yankee as
Plymouth Rock or squash pie.
1t is true that some of the steam-shov-
cling was done at night, the same as 9TH
er parts of the work, because it was
carrier on the laborers than working dur
ing the daytime. But there were many
days when the Yankees got right out
there and worked. They would do it
again, too, if the work is made possible
for them.
There are American doing manual la
Dor on hundreds of ranches in the valley
right now when climatic conditions are at
their worst. There are hundreds OF wom-
en- doing their work, too, without stop
ping to fuss about the weather.
Perhaps Mr. Warren has set himself
up as standard. Maybe he couldn't
'stand the gaff'' in the valley just now,
and because he couldn't he thinks nobody
else can Whatever his angle of reason
ing may be it isn't sound. If that is the
best argument the canals opponents can
put forth, its friends can ease up on their
worrying.
