CALIFORNIA SWATS LAME DUCK

Nm important bit of constructive legis-
al latlve work was performed by the
California legislature this week when
the senate ratified the twentieth amend
ment to the federal constitution, elm
mating the so-called lame duck ses-
sion of congress.
On the same day it was ratified by the
North Carolina general assembly and
by the Oklahoma senate, being then sent
to the house of representatives of that
state for approval.
Over 20 states have now ratified the
amendment and it is a certainty that it
will receive the necessary approval of
three-fourths of the states before the
end of this year, thereby becoming law
The lame duck session of congress
has been a constant object of ridicule
for years and justly so. There is no
reason why men rejected by the voters
should continue to hold office for more
than year after the rejection
Under the amendment, the President
and Vice-President will be inaugurated
in January instead of March, as has been
the custom since the country was found
ed, and congress will also convene in
January instead of the following Decem-
Der.
s. The present "lame duck" congress is
giving sufficient proof that the amend
ment was badly needed. To Senator
George w. Norris of Nebraska, must go
the credit for the new amendment. He
waged battle in congress for more than
a decade before he succeeded in ham,
mering his bill through both houses in
the face of obstinate opposition from
die-hard politicians.
California, in ratifying the amend
ment, has taken the only sensible course
and thereby has indicated to the rest of
the states its willingness to cooperate
with them for better national govern
ment.

criminal act, but we can't help chuck

NEW YORK, December 9.-Propo-

Lawrence Dennis, former officer IN
the State Department, said Fascism Is

John Strachey, British author and
former member Of Parliament, defend
ed Communism as the ideal system and
said the capitalist economy had COL
lapsed.
"Fascism,' Strachey said, adds besti-
ality and the tortures of the Dark Ages
to the faults of capitalism. The real
slogan of the Fascists in America is
Back to Hoover"
Berle said he has ''yet to find any
really responsible group that desires to
abandon the experiment" of the Agri-

up to regulate banking.

Louisiana Election Dispute

BY the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, December o.
The Huey p. Long-citizens' wrangle in
the sixth Louisiana congressional dis
trict was today apparently an issue that
must be settled by the National House
of Representatives.
J. Y. Sanders, jr., State Senator, was
the only candidate to file for the "citi-
zens' election" to be held December 81,
while Mrs. Bolivar E. Kemp was pre-
viously arbitrarily set up as the admin
istration's elected representative.
Both, it was indicated, intended to
claim election. and would present them
selves in the House to be seated. Such
action will place the issue squarely be-
fore Congress.
Speaker Rainey Of the House has
indicated there will be a contest and
that the House will be forced to in
vestigate.
Mrs. Kemp. shortly after the GER
eral election in which she was arbi-
trarily named the Democratic candidate
because there wasn't time to call a
primary" announced that she would
withdraw and enter another election If
the citizens election was not held.
The general election Tuesday was
marked by the burning of cast ballots,
enjoining of voting in three parishes,
burning Of Long in effigy and exchanges
Of gunfire between Long and anti-Long
forces.
The time limit for filing of candidates
In the citizens election expired last
night with Sanders the only candidate.
Sanders has forwarded to Speaker
Rainey protest of the election of Mrs.
Kemp. saying that every provision of
our general election law and our noun
nation law was violated"

TO increase membership In the Mount

adopted by that body last night. Al
though not mentioned In the resolution,
the action was taken In an effort to

It was the general consensus that

prohibited in the territory.
One speaker pointed out that the Dis
trict would feel the lack of congress
sional representation in this issue, and
should at least voice its opinion through
citizens associations.
suggestion was made that churches
and lodges in the section might help
by announcing the benefit to the COM
munlty OF having large membership
in the association.
Miss Kate johnson, chairman of a
committee on old age pensions, reported
the work and investigation already
made in that line.
Approximately % States, including
United States Territories, have already
adopted the old age pension relief sys-
tenn, she said. There is bill now
pending in Congress, sponsored in the
Senate by Senator Copeland, providing
this form of relief for the District of
Columbia. It requires, she said, that
any one receiving relief must be q citi-
zen OF the United States. must be So
years old or upward, a resident of the
District for 10 years and must have no
other support from relatives.
Relief Inmates Doubled.
The average number of persons at
the Blue Plains Relief Home between
1916 and 1927 was $50 persons. Since
1927, 1t was said, the number has
doubled.
California, it was said, had tried the
pension system and found the operation
costs to be only half that Of the upkeep
OF institutions for aged people.
1t was ordered that a speaker be tn
vited to the next meeting to further
explain the matter.

~ EHIND the simple announce
- ment by the Navy Department
that VP-6F, Navy patrol air

Morals which deals with such matters
as the insignia which appear on the
sides of naval airpalnes.
In announcing that the Pegasus in
sigma has been adopted, the Navy Bu-
reau of Aeronautics contented itself
with the statement that in Greek
legend Pegasus was winged horse. be-
gotten by Poseidon from the Gorgon
Medusa, and that later, by the aid Of
Athena, he was captured by the Spring
Pirene in Corinth, by Bellerophon, who
used him in his conflict with the Chi
mera and in later wars.
The Navy announcement closed with
the observation that "a combination of
Pegasus aerial ability and effectiveness
in time Of war seems indicative Of this
squadron"
Long in Dispute.
The Navy. however, mas nothing to
say about the real meat of the Pegasus
business. The announcement ignores
in its entirety long dispute which
mas been waged over the merits of the
flying horse of the Greeks as a fit SUBJ
ject for naval airplane squadron in
sigma. It makes no mention whatever
of the fact that less than u month ago
Pegasus was 'blackballed" out of the
something akin thereto.
The news of the blackballing was
buried about month ago in a brief
paragraph in the news letter Of the
Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. in which
it was explained officially that "a con-
scientious historian had unearthed
some early indiscretion" on the part
of Pegasus which rendered his repre-
sentation unsuitable for Use on a Navy
airplane.
How Pegasus purged himself of the
sin for which he was blackballed and
even the precise nature Of his alleged
'indiscretion" are not disclosed. As
mystery veiled the reason for the black
balling, so mystery shrouds the motive
for removal of the stigma from Pc
gasus' memory
Strangely enough, at almost the s3me

Pegasus and restored him to the ex-
allied roll of objects At to be portrayed

This was heinous fault in the noble
Pegasus, from the viewpoint of the
naval aviator. Steeds, whether they
be horses or airplanes, which throw
aviators can have no part in naval
economy or jurisprudence. If Pegasus,
indeed, was blackballed for shying
from the gadf1y and so bringing to
grief that pioneer aviator, Bellerophon,
the fact puts the Navy in pretty poor
light. Its treatment of the f1ighty
Pegasus smacks of base revenge.
Can it be that Bellerophon and his
fellow aviators of later day conspired
to besmirch the name of that great
glory. Surely, the punishment visited
upon Bellerophon through the 1nstru-
mentality of bitter-beaked gadfy and
tender-skinned horse was just retri-
button for rash temerity
Didn't Use Head.
Perhaps the Navy felt that Pegasus
should have known it was wrong 1or
him to attempt to fly to heaven, even
with Bellerophon urging him on IN the
role of his lord and master. Was Pegasus
blackballed by the Navy because ne
failed to use his head and keep the I'M
petuous Bellerophon out Of trouble.
However, it is also related that Pega-
sus, being the horse of the Muses., has
always been at the service Of poets.
Schiller and others have dallied delight
fully with this phase of Pegasus we'll
rounded career. But can this be con-
strued as an indiscretion. for which
Pegasus should be denied perpetuation
by portraiture on the sides of Navy
airplanes? Is it wrong Of Pegasus to
serve poets? It must be admitted that
some poets are pretty terrible, but why
should Pegasus suffer because of them?
There is still another indictment
brought against Pegasus, however, which
may be more pertinent. Bulfinch says
that after Minerva had caught and
tanned Pegasus and presented him to the
Muses., Pegasus, by a kick from his hoof.
