Near Future


WASHINGTON. July H.
Word has gone out 10 watch q

fairs committee Of the House
during the summer months. Con-
srsssioaal Investigations are moth

Or more in progress now. and will
be continued through the coming
months. The audacity Of the mill

corps.
Made plans to inquire into the
activities Of a member of the

McSwain of South Carolina,

what might be expected: "
"When you read that report

eyes win be opened. You win be
amazed at the conditions prevail

your government for years."
Something akin to a record in
congressional Investigations has
been set in this particular one.

the most outspoken members of
the committee.
There's an understanding be-

Reorganization Foreseen
The results remain to be seen.
Some believe vast changes in

ROTARY HEARS
FINE TALKS

Making q stirring plea for a
greater interest in national prob
lens by businessmen and those
who are considered as leaders in
their various communities, Judge
Rex B. Goodcell, former collector of
internal revenue, gave an interest
ing address at the weekly meeting
of the Ell Centro Rotary club to-
day.
"Those who are considered our
best citizens should take an ac-
tive interest in public affairs,' he
said. land if these means politics
they should not side-step the issue.
Complaints about our present po-
litical system are frequently heard,
yet those who make them are
quite often those who should be
our leading citizens but they are
not. They follow where tn ey
should lead.'
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson
spoke on juvenile delinquency, cit
ing numerous cases which have
come before him in court. He de-
clared that in most cases the blame
for such delinquency can be right
ly charged to parents, who are toe
interested in their own affairs and
too disinterested in the affairs of
their children to give the latter
the proper leadership and counsel
which they need.
He described several of the state
institutions for juveniles and stated
sincere effort is being made in
them to point out to the delinquent
Youngsters the foolishneSs of their
actions and the benefits TO be de-
rived from doing what is right.
Leroy Kirkpatrick, state cham
pion in the high and low hurdles,
and the valleys outstanding ath-
lete. was introduced. to the club by

to him.

Statewide Offices have not been men
toned so far.

In the meanwhile adherents OF Gov.
Ritchie claim that he Is sitting
pretty" and no matter what comes of
the conference next week the Cover
nor is practically certain to be re-
nominated.
Republican leaders here are practi-
cally a unit in the belief that Gov.
he is the man they will have to beat
in the general election. To this END
they are making every effort to avoid
a primary contest in the G. o. p, and
to agree on a compromise candidate
outside of the candidates who have
already filed for the gubernatorial
nomination. The two leading candi-
dates so far are Harry w. Nice and H.
Webster Smith, both Baltimore attor-
neys, and it is extremely doubtful II
either one would withdraw in favor
of the other or for a compromise
candidate"
So anxious are the Republican
State leaders to avoid a primary that
some of them are reported to have
presented a plan for the entire ticket
to be selected from Baltimore, which
they say will be the deciding battle
ground in the general election.

Except for Elizabeth Gilman, who Is
running for the United States Senate
on the Socialist ticket, no women are
campaigning as yet for any State
office.
Some officials of the United Demo-
cratic Women's Club and of the Mary

favor the placing of women on the
State ticket Of the major parties.
There is still a a.possibility this may be
done as neither party has completed
its State ticket.
In Washington reports have been
circulated that, should Representative
David Lewis become a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
Senate, Miss Engle might be per-
suaded to run for the House.
AS evidence of the increasing In
