UNCLE WIGGuY DOWN
CELLAR

What are you going to do, Un-
kie Wlg?" asked Baby Bunty.
I'm going down cellar and see
what's making that noise," said the
rabbit gentleman.
Uncle Wiggily and the little Or
phan rabbit had been playing
game of hide-and-go-seek. Bunty
had hidden herself in pile OF
leaves near one of the windows Oh
the hollow stump bungalow, as l
told you in the story last night.
Uncle Wiggily was "it" and first
of all he spied Baby Bunty. But
right after that she stopped play
ing tie game, and so did Uncle
Wiggily and so did all the rabbit
children. For Bunty had told about
hearing noise in the bungalow
cellar.
do you think, Daddicums," ask
ed Jingle, that you had better go

KIWANLANS OF
WATER PLANS

Senator Ben Hulse discussed the
Central Valley water project for
the Kiwanis club at its meeting
yesterday in the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Prefacing his remarks with the
statement that he was not speaking
in an advisory capacity but rather
that of giving information relative
to the project, Senator Hulse gave
a clear-cut and concise account Of
the history of the project, explain

Don't Quote Me'
By United Press

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. II
Gov. Albert c. Ritchie sends any
witness to Princess Anne, Nd, to
testify against four lynching sus-
poets, citizens VOW they vii be
killed.
If the governor doesn t send the
witnesses, county authorities insist
the alleged lynchers will not be
prosecuted.
That leaves knotty problem for
the governor, who wants the laws
enforced, but who does not want
any of his ieutenantS beaten TO
death by the irate natives Of the
eastern shore. The latter are SO an
CRY that they want to secede from
Maryland and make the eastern
countryside part of Delaware.
Their controversy with the gov
ernor, and their recent battle with
his troopers. may be blamed large
ly on natural forces which geolo-
gists claim started the eastern half
of the continent sinking impercept-
IDLY centuries ago.

LANCERS, FRONT AND CENTER!

And what of the California Lancers?
Where is that noble guard in these days
of travail for their creator who is beset
on all sides by his enemies within and
without the camp?
Here is a former President of the
United States, throwing rocks at the god
father of the Lancers; every tree seems
to screen an editor (always excepting the
Hearst Variety, who takes delight IN
hurting darts into the gubernatorial
hide; shooting from flank position is

battle of his own while at the same time
he aids the ranks of Sunny Jim's' ene-

Tis time for every good Lancer and

by mount and stream and hilf'.
Were it bathing beauty parade, bar

would be thicker than fleas on houn'
dog. One could hardly appreciate the
glory of the spectacle for the even great
er glory of the Lancers. But this is a
time of battle, with "knock down and
drag out" rules. 1t is no time for par
ade, the usual time for Lancers to shine,
even though squads east" and squads

Where are the Lancers? They have re-

stack, fast asleep, while Little Boy Blue
blows his horn, and blows and blows and
blows.

Ballots Ahead OF
Trailers

With one week more to go the
rivalry between the two leading
contestants in The Washington
Times-RKO Midsummer Festival
Cruise contest is becoming acute.
The leaders, Mrs. Louise Hig-
gins, of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, and Miss Vonnette
Began, of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, are ahead
by only a small margin. Only a
handful of votes separate them.
Yesterday Miss Bogan's chief,
Harry Whitaker, entertained %
children from the District
orphanages at the theater. His
party boasted Miss Bogan's votes
by $50. The children saw Ann
Harding and William Powell in
Double Harness." Their votes
will be included in today's count.
Similar Party Planned
Fearing their candidates lead
has been lost, friends of Mrs.
Higgins are planning a similar
party in her interest today.
Both candidates realize that
with the introduction of 113 new
contestants into the race yester-
day they must make every effort
to keep the lead they have gained.
The newcomers are determined to
make up for lost time and show
Mrs. Higgins and Miss Began,
not to mention the other eight
leaders" that the race isn't lost
until the final minute.
Voting Soon To End
Voting ends August 8, and all
votes are being cast at RKO

of the contest.
The winner will be given the

BY CHARLOTTE ToDEs.

The Roosevelt National Recovery
Act which has already passed the
House and is now before the Senate
combines most of the features of the
Roosevelt program to rescue the
profits of the giant capitalists
at the expense of the working class.
1t is part of a frenzied drive to find
q way out of the crisis. At the same
time, by building up hopes in the
outcome of the program, the Roose-
welt government expects to check
the movement for unemployment in
surance and the developing strike
movement for wage increases.
Behind the smoke screen OF de-
magogic phrases, the bill is being
pushed through for the attainment
Of definite detectives to the advan-
tage of the nonopolists 1t consists
of two main sections. The so-called
industrial control action which
gives the president sweeping power
to promote the organization of in
dustry for the purpose Of coopera-
tive action among trade groups, to
maintain united action of labor and
management under adequate govern
mental sanctions and supervisors, to
eliminate unfair competitive prac-
ticcs" and to control wages, hours
and working conditions.
United Action of labor and man.
agement" is the central theme Of this
section of the act. 1t is the means
by which the government will at
tempt to defeat the struggles of the
workers against its attacks.
The o5her section provides for a
forced labor public works program OF
n military nature costing $4,000, 00O,-
600 to be Financed by tax levy ex-
torted from the toiling masses.
The machinery which the bill sets
up for industry control" indicates
clearly that it is designed as pre-
paration for an imminent war. i
enables. the government to mobilize
the working class with the utmost
speed for war service and to turn
industrial enterprises, almost over
night into instruments for the con-
duct of war This is further made
clear by the fact that even before
the bill has been adopted in Con-
sress, Roosevelt has appointed as
administrator, General Hugh John

JAPAN IN TRADE
WAR WITH INDIA
Will Shift Military Or
ders to u. S.

OSAKA, Japan, June 5--In reply
to midas so per cent increase in Ia
riff duties on non-English cotton
cloths announced June 6, the Fedora
ton of Japanese Cotton Spinners
have decided to cease buying raw
cotton from India, and to increase
their purchases of American raw cot
ton.
During the past three months, jap
anese imports of raw cotton from
India have greatly exceeded her i'm
ports from the United States. This
move on the part of the Japanese
spinners Is another in the trade war
that is developing between Japan and
Great Britain. On April 10 last, India
denounced her trade treaty with
Japan. The tariff increase is one Of
the first results of this action.
Japan Is a large importer Of raw
cotton, 10 feed her cotton textile in

enormous military machine. which
needs cotton for the manufacture OF

the world war. He was also the ad-
miniStrator Of the selective draft law
in 1917.
Public Works for Military Purposes
Under the guise of a program for
the unemployed, the public works
program provides for the construc-
ton of "a new battleships, forts,
naval bases and army barracks. Spe-
cially designed ships for use in Chin
csc waters are also included in the
plans. The military program will go
into effect before any other aspect
of the public works program.
A central objective of the indus
try control" feature of the Act is the
attempt to overcome whatever legal
restrictions in the antitrust laws are
irksome to big capitalists. BY this
means it will make it easier for the
monopoliSts to tighten more firmly
their grip over industry by concen-
trating their control in fewer hands,
and by driving out Of swallowing
their smaller competitors.
voluntary Trade Agreements
Industries are ordered, by the bill,
to get together through their trade
associations to draw up trade agree
ments or codes of fair competition"
which will restrict production, raise
price levels and set wages, hours and
working conditions to allow maximum
profits. The codes are subject to the
Presidents approval, after which,
when accepted, they are applicable to
their industries and are enforceable
by governmental machinery. A PEN
atty of $500 is provided which is sup
r-.sed to force into line those who
violate the codes, and licensing pow
e-s are given to the President to
enforce them. Employers abiding by
the codes are granted exemption from
the Sherman antitrust laws. An
additional clause provides for the es-
Establishment Of an industrial planning
and research agency which will
undoubtedly be used to extend the
markets and effect economies for the
industrialists.
The voluntary trade agreements
and the so-called planning agency
has called forth columns of prop
aeandai sin the capitalist press hail
ing the bill as the introduction Of
"nationsA planning" The tremen-
dous interest awakened IN the masses
