This column, hereafter to ap-
pear regularly in every issue, il
nm innovation.
J lOur second generation has
grown up, the children Of the
third generation are in the
schools.
For this reason this paper, SER
wing always the interests Of
those Of Magyar descent living
in the Mahoning and Shenango.
Valleys and Of tie communities
they inhabit, intends to give our
younger people this column Of
comment on our daily events.
The second generation born
here is fast being alienated from
the customs, speech and ideals
Of their fathers and mothers and
yet they seldom find a reception
on equal terms among their con-
temporaries of American paren-
tage.
We ask this second generation
to read this column, to partici-
pate il our community life, in
the affairs of our churches and
our societies. After all their ploce
IS with their parents in our ins-
itutions.
The younger generation of Ma
gyar descent has been sadly neg
lected in the past.
Those Of other national origin,
as the Slovaks, Croatians, Polish,
all have their organizations de-
signed to keep the younger
people together. All are success
ful.
Last week the Catholic Slovak
Sokols gathered here for drill
school. About so young men
and women spent three days in
receiving intensive schooling in
gymnastics and calisthenics
They in turn will impart thei,
acquired skill and knowledge tc
the members Of their respective
branches.
In the spring, competition
between branches comprising q
district, and later of a grour

is q national convention devoted
to sports athletic events, mass
drills and educational matters
The Slovaks, the Croatians
the Polish do this - what /.
the matter with Hungarian
youths? What is the matter
with their parents?
y Il is up to our national or.
ganizatioas, the Verhovay, the
Aid Association, the RAk6czi, the
Reformed Society. to change
their antiquitated habits and
customs.
We must look into the future
unless we wish to see all 20 tc

We must give the youngel
generation what is wants. WI

ST0REkEEPER HELD

Policemen Employ Ruse and Find
Object of Search Being Loaded

The police were only fooling, they
didn't get a search warrant after all.
The detectives, A. M. Tolson and H.
H. Britton, were on the trail of some
stolen cigarettes this morning, about
10000 of them.N
They called at the store of Louis
Dinkin, AZ, in the 500 block of Seventh
street southwest. Dinkfn said to 60
right ahead and look for the cigar
cites. he knew nothing about them.

ton, stepping into their automobile,
were going to get warrant first"
The officers drove away IN great haste,
but, instead of going for the warrant,
circled the block and approached Din
kin's store from the rear.
This maneuver. the officers said. sur
prised Dinkin in the act Of loading
cigarettes on a truck. Whether they
were the same the police were looking
for, following a theft from store in
the 300 block of M street last week,
remains to be seen.
The officers, however, were sufficiently
sure of it to take Dinkin in for in
vestigation.
I'VE didn't get warrant" one Of
the officers told Dinkin. why should
we, when you bring the evidence right
out to us?"

The first course is that he do Moth
ing except issue statement. In this
statement he could say the value of
the dollar today is indeterminable. 1t
has not yet found its natural level.
Too many speculative influences are
at work on il.
He could say that merit gecr

its natural lepel. he 19iH reorgGn-
ise the monetary system. But
neuer mould he do anything to
de0ase the currency OF the coun-
try.
That would be f1ne-if Congress were
not convening in January.
Congress Has Wild Plans.
Any one who knows anything about
the existing Washington situation will
realize Congress cannot be expected to
go along with a sane policy like that.
1t has a majority for inf1ation-swift,
wild imitation, any kind It cannot be
put off much longer, even by Mr..
Roosevelt It can be expected to force
his hand at the first opportunity.
Therefore. Mr.. Roosevelt must con-
slider the existing political situation in
his currency policy. Not only must he
PiOAAiLoC O SdA1S21Sy otoOAAty "AASAl " III
dispell existing financial uncertainty
He also must do something which will
prevent the wolves in Congress from
taking the situation out of his hands.
A statement clearing up existing
doubts is all he needs to prevent creep
ing paralysis of the capital market, but
1t would leave him continuous battle
with the inf1ationists
He may decide on that course, but his
best friends doubt it
Dollar at 66 Cents.
The only other alternative is to make
q stab now at what would be a good
value for the dollar and devalue to that
point before January 3.
Today the stab probably would hit
&c cents. Last week 1t would have been
63 cents. No one can tell what it will
be next week. That is only of secon-
Diary importance.
IT you are going to make stab
in the dark, and you knolD it UiH
be somewhere betDeen So and 10,
it does not make much real differ
ence Exactly 1Dhich point you hit
Mr. Roosevelt is not anxious to make
this stab. The main reason for his shy
ness is doubt about what it will do to
commodity prices. Most economists be-
neve it will remove whatever speculative
hope is left in the commodity markets

for the murder of Green K. Davis, Tay-
lorsville farmer, two years ago. was
taken before Gov. Albert c. Ritchie
today at a hearing for executive
clemency.
Lee has lost his last plea in the
courts, the United States Supreme
Court last week declining to review the
case. leaving his only avenue of escape
in the hands Of the Governor. If the
chief executive declines to intervene, he
must set the date for the hanging.
The 60-year old Eastern Shore col

for the second time for the Staying of
Davis, q former employer. following an
alleged dispute over wages. Davis wife
and two daughters also were killed at
the same time.
Following his arrest in Ocean City Q
short time after the bodies Of the Davis
family were found, Lee was rushed to
Baltimore for safe keeping when mobs
threatened to storm the Snow Hill Jail.
His trial was transferred to Towson,
but the first conviction was reversed

panel. The States highest court up

SALISBURY. Md, October 10 R.-
The first indication that there might
be trouble appeared about Z O'Clock,
when crowd began to gather near the
jail. But it was a friendly gathering,
and seemed to have been drawn there
out of curiosity rather than to cause
us trouble. We had men picketing
the vicinity to report any threatening
gathering
About 7:30 others began to con-
gregate on either side of a vacant lot
across the street from the jail. They
were assembling rapidly. large groups
Of them on each side. My men-21
oflcers-were then drawn up in front
of the prison. We had placed three
automobiles in position to throw head
lights upon the crowd Four county
officers were inside the Jail.
Despite our efforts, the two crowds
began TO close in across the lot in
front of the prison. Avalarches Of
bricks, stones and other missiles were
hurled at U.S.
It was futile for us to use our arms.
We shot tear gas into the crowds, but
as quickly as the fumes cleared they
rushed in upon us again. They kicked

the President approves, requires, in ex-
act language, an administrators certifi-
cate prior to the installation of add.
tlonal productive machinery by persons
engaged or engaging in the cotton tex
tile industry"
Officials interpret the regulation as
closing cotton textiles to newcomers
except through the purchase Of existing
interests and says it means production
may be kept to market demand
1t is far cry, officials recognize,
from the day hardly yet gone by when
any man with will and some means
or ingenuity could in this land set him
self up to do most anything he had
mind to.
But this new order they say, Is funda-
mental ii the ruin of plenty which has
engulfed the country is to be controlled,
and II reasoned planning is to take the

The only thing yet done that COM

tion got the funds from its own re-
sources and borrowed the balance from
the Chase Securities Corporation.
At the close of 1927 the Metpotan
Corporation was borrowing $4,000, 900
from Chase Securities Corporation and
slightly more at the end of 1923, but
Wiggin said he could not tell what
proportion that was OF the total ad-
vanced for the pool
At that time, Wiggin said, the Chase
Securities Corporation was not bor-
rowing from the Chase National Bank
Questioned by Pecora, Wiggin said
the Chase Securities Corporation ,sed
the Metpotan Corporation for the pool
as a matter Of convenience.
Eldon Bisbee, an attorney sitting next
to Wiggin, mterjected the purpose was
to prevent the Chase Securities Cor
poration from dealing directly in its
own stock.
Adams asked If it was not remarkable
that the pools showed so little profit
from such large operations.
1T was very careful riding of the
horse, wasn't it?" Adams asked. 1T
meant in many cases you were buying
and selling the same day."
When Wiggin agreed, Pecora asked
If that was "churning the market to
stimulate prices"
II don't think So" Wiggin replied
1T was a God-given market"
Was it God-given because the stock
went up almost 400 points during the
life of these two pools?" Pecora asked
Wiggin replied there was a great de-
mand for the stock, like other stocks,
in 1928 and 1929.
Shrinkage Of Assets Shown.
Pecora developed yesterday. in testi-
mony marked by frequent conferences
between Wiggin and his attorneys, how
almost $120 900 900 of the assets Of the
Chase Securities Corporation have
melted away during the past three and
half years, leaving only shell Of
the once wealthy company.
Pecora brought out how the securi-
ties corporation had taken $120,000,-
600, or II per cent of its capital and
earnings, for reserves for losses and
He also drew from Wiggin testimony
that annual reports to the company's
stockholders did not disclose this
shrinkage to them, unless they COM
pared each yearly statement with the
previous years.
Senator Couzens sharply criticized
this development, and also Virgins
statement that some of the securities
listed in the company's report to stock
holders were pledged as collateral on a
loan from the bank.
Wiggin Takes Exception.
The Michigan Senator suggested
such procedure by bank borrower
would land him in jail "for securing
loans under false pretences," but Wig
gin took exception to the comparison
In reply to Pecora and Couzens,
Wiggin named four officers of the bank
formerly employed as bank examiners
Sheriff. Smith, vice president; Joseph
G. Rovensky, vice president; William
Hughes, assistant cashier. and Carl p.
Biggerman, second vice president
Pecora read q number of compli-
ments in examiners reports to Wiggin
on the Chase National.
1T is quite a common practice for
banks to employ bank examiners, and
I suspect they sometimes are employed
because of these fulson1e compliments,
Couzens commented.
There were indications from Pecora
today that he would soon turn the in
vestigation to evidence Of methods
used to lower taxation, q phase which
has proved of Nationwide interest in
some Of the previous inquiries.

He then re-emphasized Germanys
tnSistence upon equality saying, "as a
statesman, will never set my signature
to a treaty which as gentleman In
private life I also would not sign, and
though 1 go to ruin thereby"
Concerning the Winter program, the
chancellor explained:
I'VE are facing very severe WINTER.
THE measures undertaken to meet
the situation include tax reduction, a
general restitution of confidence, the
removal of the laws hampering business
and industry, and especially public job
creation"
Among the latter he mentioned auto
mobile road construction, canal, dam
and bridge building, soil improvement,
house repairs and labor camps for un-
married young men.
A vast exchange system between the
country and the city of agricultural for
industrial products also was envlSased.
An unusual decree by Finance Mini

"All the greater Importance attaches
to civil air protection measures calcu-
lated to insure the population against
danger of attacks from the air." it con-
tinued, adding:
In the interests of the population as
well as the national defense such meas
ures must be most widely encouraged,
also by tax reduction"
The defense decree observes that air
protection primarily concerns industrial
undertakings, businesses with a large
number of employees and house owners
all of whom should take measures OF
protecting their employees. plants, houses
and inmates
Measures suggested include the build
ing of bombproof cellars, acquiring gas
masks, installing alarm arrangements
and drilling squads in the use Of de-
fenSive instruments.
Even for substituting concrete floors
instead of wooden and strengthening
foundations by girders, the tax reduc-
tionS will be granted.
