CONCERNING Condolences

Newspapermen are bound to be interested IN
the new law put into effect in New Jersey recent
ly, under which no court, grand jury or other in
ouisitorial body could require any reporter to d.
vulge the source of confidential information used
in news articles.
This law simply recognizes what has long been
the code of the news-gathering profession: that Il
reporter is in honor bound to protect the person
from whom he gets information of legitimate IN
terest to the public.
Courts and grand jures have frequently tried
TO compel reporters to reveal their sources, and
in most instances they have failed.
All too often they have made the attempt SIM
ply because the reporter in question had made
public something that certain highly placed folk
wanted concealed and the action has been an Ell
fort to get the reporter in hole.
New jerseys law is a new bulwark for the free
dom of the press-Greenville Is. c. Piedmont.

The fact that employment and
payrolls increased in April over
March was misleading by itself,
since the increases by no means
offset the sharp drop in March,
which was accentuated by the bank
holiday, and left the situation

before.> ..'
What the administration wants
is a definite increase in a month

a decline. That will be about the

THE VISION OF A NEW ERA FOR
AMERICA
tBy BRUCE CATION

II would take a seer of uncommon aOIl-
itv TO tell lust where we are going to be
when the present time of trial is over; but
now and then even the least prophetic OF
men must feel a thrill of excitement at the
enormous possibilities that are inherent IN
the situation.
In our fight to get out of the depression,
start the wheels moving and put men back
TO work there is more than a chance that
we shall take a longer stride along the
road toward genuine freedom and happl-
ness than would have seemed possible half
a decade ago.
Frances Perkins, secretary of labor,
touched on this in a speech before the
Girls Work Section of the New York wei
fare Council not long ago.
Gas we 20 about building up the pur-
chasing power of the American people IN
the next year." she said, 1--WE may find that
we have built up a new kind of civillza-
ton.
eve recognize that our mass produc-
ton system cannot go on unless we con-
sciously build up the purchasing power OF
the people who work in this country, and
we are recognizing that out of the build
ing up of this purchasing power-oy artl-
fetal or other means-may come bless
inc beyond anything we in our generation
have ever dared to dream OF.
Words are often deceptive things. That
little expression, building up purchasing
mower" for instance; we say it glibly, and
we think of manufacturers ledgers and
busy salesrooms as we say it, but back Oh
it there are human values which are SIM
ply dazzling to contemplate.
Suppose, for instance, that we succeed
in building up this purchasing power, by
one means and another, for one of those
large blighted areas in the nation-those
areas where people struggle along through
wear after year of hopeless poverty, exist
ing rather than living, lacking all luXureS
and many necessities. What do we do?
We enable these people to house, clothe
and feed themselves properly. We enable
them to give their children a chance at
the good things of life; chance at health,
happiness, leisure, ambition, contentment'
We let them lift themselves up to new
level. We replace misery and despair with
joy and hope.
1t is chances like that which are open
ing up in our fight with the depression.
Winning the fight means more than SIM
ply setting the factory chimneys smoking
auaip Tt can mean as Miss Perkins says,
building a new kind of civilization.

CAN STILL BE KING

Cotton, the old king of crops in America, has
shown some signs of senility in late years, but
once more given decent chance it can still eX-
hibit it's real and stately qualities of supremacy.
Taken from both standpoints of production and
manufacture cotton holds place in American
business and industry not easily to be replaced.
The North Carolina Cotton Grower summarizes
to prove this point:
Cotton provides jobs for II per cent of all
American workers, a percentage larger than that
of any other one industry.
Cotton provides living for 27 per cent of the
farm population.
Cotton accounts for $6,O00,O0OOO0 of the re-
tail sales of the country ~ per cent.
Cotton is the greatest item in the nations ex-
port trade.
Cotton requires the use of 100000 square miles
of land in its production area equal to the
combined areas of France, Spain, Italy and Ger
many.
Salaries and wages to members of the cotton
textile industry amount to $4,000, 100000 year.
The garment industry alone pays out 1884,,
500, 900 in wages annually.
The mems shirt industry pays out $51,O00,0OO
in wages annually.
The cotton small wares industry alone pays out
SIS ,464 900 in wages annually.
800, 900 in wages annually.

WASHINGTON. - Despite the
w relatively long delay in bring
ing out the industry control-publlc
works bill. everyone in the admin
islration concerned with this
measure expresses grim determlna-
ton to get it into operation at the
earliest possible moment.
Signs of improvement in business
NAV be visible, but the figures that
receive most attention in Wash
ington these days are those show
ing the trend OF employment and
purchasing power. To date the
only reliable figures available
show that this trend is continuing
downward and past experience in
dicatcs that the next two or three
months will fall well under the
rreyious low for all time unless
something is done about it.
That's why the administration
wants its S3,3OO,0O0,OO0 public
works program and its plan for
fixing n bottom for restoring wages

ment TO start Immediately.
The April index figure for manu-
featuring employment was 81 as
against J75 for February, a. loss
of nearly 3 per cent. The payroll
index shows decline from %G.f
to $40, or more than A per cent.
These declines are distinctly larger
than the average decrease in that
two.month period.
Worse still, the months Of May,
June and July custOmarily show
further marked drops in both man
ufacturing and most non-manuIac-
turing industries. Last year there

Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing from
 Famous Book

Actual prison life is unfolded with thrill and surprise in the First National picture, Twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing which opens tonight at the Coli scum Theatre. The picture really starts where most pictures deal ing with lawless men leave off,
 The story, taken from the sen sational book of Warden Lewis E. Lawes, Warden of Sing Sing Pris- on at Ossining, New York, gives an accurate picture of that insti- tuition, of the human side of con- vict life, with its humor its trag- edies, it's pathos and touching loy- atty of a thousand men without women and thousand women without, who wait for their men to come out.
 Despite privileges and conven- fences enjoyed at no other Jail, the prison houses men desperate ly hungry for the outside, for then wives and sweethearts. men who are willing to risk their lives, though they haven't o ne chance in a million to be suc- cessful, to escape. The warden sits on a volcano of human passions, ready for such an outbreak that takes place in the picture.
 The characters in the picture are portrayed by an exceptional cast which includes Spencer Tracy Bette Davis, Arthur Byron. Lyle Talbot, Grant Mitchell, Warren Hymer, Louis Calhern, Edward J. McNamara and Sheila Terry. The picture was directed by Michael Curtiz with some of the scenes actually taken at Sing Sing and others in replica of the prison at the Warner Bros.

 Inscriptions on the walls reveal ed that the Egyptian budget of that period totalled about $l0,000,- GOO.
 The tomb was 15 feet below the surface. On top of a large sar- cophagus in the burial chamber was a small casket containing face powder with a large scarab on one side and an alabaster head rest on the other.
 Besides the, sarcophagus was a small offering table. holding nu- merous daggers and pieces of pottery.

 <. The Warner Bros. screen version of this popular stage play, fea- turing Lee Tracy and Mary Brian, makes frank use of all the known methods gossiping news and ru- mors and lets the public in on all their secrets.
 There is enough excitement in the life of the average chatter writer to supply the foundations for a dozen comedies and dramas, but it has all been crowded into one fast moving, thrill packed hour in the screen version of Blessed Event"
 The "hows' and the why's" be- hind the gathering of a column of "tattle," the risks that are run, the hearts and heads that are broken, the skeletons which are uncloseted, all of these figure in this amusing expose of the wise cracking, big-time columnist in Blessed Event"

 It's such simple matter to ere ate story for the Marx boys it's wonder anybody bothers. Skeptics who like sense in film fare perhaps have wondered whether anybody has bothered. The usual answer to such questions is that somebody has been deeply concerned, that so much nonsense doesn't just happen.
 Wrong again. That seems to be the secret of it all-it does just happen. They sit around, four Marxes, a director, half a dozen writers, a speedy secretary, and they talk. Now, of course, there are five Marxes, since Gummo came west to manage his broth CTS. Gummo used to be in the. act, but reformed.
