BODIES OF NINE
 WORKERS FOUND
Landslide Buried Them or Hurled Them to Death
 in Deep Canyon

Grand Junction, Colo. Dec 1s.- (UP)-The. bodies of nine >CWA workers had been removed from & landslide in Monument Canyon to- day. Authorities felt certain that reports a 10th worker had been killed were erroneous. The work- CTS were killed in an attempt to carve out a scenic road in the side of a cliff which overhangs Monu- ment Canyon.
 Loosened by a delayed dynamite blast several hundred yards away, an avalanche of rocks thundered down upon a group of workers, burying five of them deeply, hurl- ing three others into the canyon 400 feet below and fatally injuring another.
 The site of the tragedy was about 22 miles northwest of here where 50 men, employed by the federal government under the Civil Works program, and two companies of Civilian Conservation Corps work. CTS, were working on 8 scenic road to be known as the Circle Drive. Five hundred men in ell were em- ployed on various parts of the pro. feet.

 Charge of Murder

Lessburg, Va, Dec 13-(UP)- Taking of testimony was to start to-day In the trial of George Craw- ford, negro, accused of murdering Mrs Agnes Ilsley, society woman, and her maid, Nina Buckner.

It stands moreover as 8 contradic- ton to the modern pagan philoso.. phy; baffling even the medical minds and forcing them to admit that there is power at work there which cannot be encompassed by their science. The miracles are not against the science but they are above it.
 Fostering this spirit of world wide interest and devotion. Our Lady of Lourdes Church will open a iridium tomorrow, which will continue until Sunday the 17th. The morning services will follow the eight o'clock mass and will in- clude a sermon in Italian by Rev Joseph Valdambrini. The evening services at seven-thirty o'clock will be held in English. The parish is fortunate just at this time to have the Very Rev Thomas Conlon for the preacher. Father Conlon is recognized as one of the best preachers in the Dominican Order and especially qualified for this iridium since he led a pilgrimage to Lourdes last year and witnessed a miracle. The iridium is not con- fined to parish lines; hence all those who have a special devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes are in- yited

and manners. Although do not
hold that anybody should die for
dear old Rutgers, it seems to me
that even when Miss Wills was at
her best her game somewhat out
stripped her courtesy.
I am in no position to know just
how acute her symptoms may have
been, but she could have gone
through the motions of losing the
necessary three games in a very few
minutes.
According to all accounts, she
failed to shake hands with her con-
queror, and the statement which
she gave to the press after mature
elaboration was ungracious in the
extreme.
Since the spell once has been
broken, I doubt very much whether
Helen Wills in the months to come
will dominate the courts as she once
did. I think this is a consumma-
ton not to be deplored. I think her
tennis epitaph will have to read,

A HERO OF HEROES

EIRE CHIEF JOHN B. LONE of Kearney,
Il N. j.. is dead because he tried to keep a
Christmas from being spoiled for a group of
orphaned children
The story goes back long way-nearly
six years, in fact
On Christmas eve in 1927 a Kearney or
manage caught fire. The orphans were all
saved. but after they had been rescued Chief
Lone noticed that they stood around watching
the flames. crying disconsolately.
"Why the tears?" he asked.
And he learned that all the Christmas toys
for the youngsters were stored inside the
building. Santa. it seems, had left them there,
and he was due to come back and distribute
them very shortly: now they were going to be
burned up, and Santa would be so disappointed
that he probably never would visit the Kear-
ney orphans again.
So Chief Lone-weI. If you know hremen

M.

ERANKLY, there is one phase OF this recovery
L agitation hwich I do not understand. II
shorter hours and higher wages are good Tor
private business, why aren't they good for public
business? If increased buying power is the big
idea why all this campaigning for retrenchment
by cities, towns and states?
I am not talking about the waste or extrava-
gance which should be eliminated in every kind
of business, but about the connection in favor
of those economies which are bound to reduce
public pay rolls.
If private business can get its money back
through increased buying power. why can't tax
payers? We are asking people to pay more Tor
bread and cotton goods to give more people work
At the same time, we are yelling for municipall-
ties to cut expenses, even though they must re-
duce the number of employees.
If the object is to put more people to work,
and if we are justified in forcing private business
to cut hours to attain it, what is the excuse for
taking an opposite course with regard to schools,
police forces, fire departments, and so on?
n KNOW the stereotyped answer. Taxes are
i too high, government is too costly politics is
too incompetent and all that. Still, we are 60
ing in for a great public works program, just as
though it meant something of constructive value
to fire a school teacher, cop, or street clean
er and then find them jobs on bridge, hous-
ing project, or in a@forest camp
mweil aware that many people think that
all branches of government need to be developed
and that much of our public service is in the
nature of luxury, but the same thing can be
said with regard to a lot of things we buy and
that we must go on buying if business conditions
are to be improved.
1t strikes me that the cry for retrenchment
insofar as it throws people out of work and cur
tails legitimate activities is opposed to the basic
idea of our National Recovery program.
This cry has little to do with honesty or
efficiency, but concerns itself with. definite
demand for reduction of taxes, even when it
is perfectly obvious that such reduction will hurt.
rather than help, the employment situation.
A S a general proposition we are taking
IA very different attitude toward public bust
ness than toward private business. While We
insist on expansion for the latter, we want the
former cut down, particularly in all phases Of
local self government
When it comes to the federal government,
we are more liberal.
This paradoxical attitude is one of conf
dence or lack of it. To a measurable extent,
we have lost faith in local government which
is curious, since We obviously can exercise a
greater voice in its conduct than in that of the
federal government.
The question is il we can't run things at the
bottom. can we run them at the top2

THE WHEAT AGREEMENT

THE large wheat-producing nations have
signed an agreement which promises
restoration of better times on the farms, one
basis of prosperity.
enthusiastically, one of our delegates to
that London conference hailed the compact as
assuring dollar wheat. We hope it does; Ger
tainly this expert is better able to prophesy
than We are.
Even If this peak is not attained, but in
stead wheat prices are stabilized at a some
what lower figure and the dangerous surplus
of grain removed, the wheat agreement will
in international cooperation during the de-
preston to date.
Upon the basis of this agreement the
Roosevelt administration now may go ahead
with its program to reduce wheat production
here. knowing that while it endeavors to plan
United States agriculture, other nations will
not dump millions of bushels of grain.
Generally, and when artificial pegs are not
used, the United States price of wheat is set

meanwhile increased their acreage.
Not the least important phase of this in

A PRESIDENTS POWER

A VIRGINIA coal mine owner. irritated be-
cause his employees insisted on joining
unions-as they are entitled to do, under the
industrial recovery acts said to have de-
clared angrily that neither Franklin D.
Roosevelt nor any one else can run my mine. y
1t isn't hard to understand the gentleman's
state of mind; but some one ought to point out
to him that he made pretty broad statement
which might, just conceivably, have to be
taken back some day
More than a quarter century ago there was
a Roosevelt in the White House, and he came
within an inch or so of demonstrating that
the President can run any coal mine he
peases.
He was ready to march the United States
army in and operate the mines himself, to
break a strike deadlock; the operators. how
ever, yielded and he didn't have to.
Today's emergency is more serious than
that of twenty-five years ago; and the pres
ent Roosevelt seems quite as ready to take
drastic measures as the other one was.
