WALTER DAMROSCH, II

Ii someone were to promote COM
petition to determine the best loved citizen
of the United States, we should not hesitate
to nominate for that distinction Walter
Damrosch, ~ years old on January 3d.
And if the school children of the
country were permitted to vote, his ma
Jorlty would be overwhelming, and in
crease from week to week. For through his
educational orchestral concerts over the
radio for school children he is endearing
himself to the young generation as no
human being has ever done before him.
Each Friday morning millions of children
and others listen to these concerts by a
symphony orchestra, enjoying not only the
music, but also the explanations so simply
and charmingly given by Mr.. Damrosch in
person.
Although he has been known through
out the civilized world as Americas pre-
mier orchestra conductor for many years,
1T is only since the advent of the radio that
an intimate appreciation of his consummate
artistry and delightful personality has
particularly to the children.
On his I'D birthday Mr.. Damrosch
may look back over long period of serv-
ice in the Temple of Music, of which his
present radio undertaking is the browning
achievement. May he long continue so to
serVe--a veritable high-priest of culture
and kindliness

UNCLE SAM, CHISELER

=. Country printers, who for more than
half a century have suffered from govern
ment competition in the printing of en-
velopes, can hardly be blamed for looking
askance at NRA codes and their preten-
sions to the elimination of "chiseling.'
The case against Uncle Sam is ably
set forth in an editorial in the Hayti SD
Herald-Enterprise, which says:
After ALL printer is but human,
and he ought not be criticized too severely
if he froths at the mouth upon receipt of a
letter from a concern which proudly floats
the blue eagle but transports its message
in cut-price government envelope. The
government is now engaged in an under
taking to effect and enforce codes of fair
competition for every business i'm the coun-
try and yet it continues to print envelopes
in competition with the printers of the
country at a price that is not only less than
the printer can purchase the blank stock
for, but it is even less than the government
asks the printer for the postage necessary
TO transport the envelopes a few miles. In
many ways there is no bigger chiseler in
the country than the government itself"

STICK 'EM UP
1.-THE United States Daily

Had there been a consciousness of
how the federal government must collect
its revenues, there might not today be such
calm indifference to the spending orgy at
Washington. But unhappily there will be
no such indifference when the government,
hard pressed to met the demands of the
dole and social expansion of all kinds, will
increase the tax rates to confiscatory levels
in the higher brackets and to painful per-
centages in the middle class groups.
Great Britain felt the pinch of taxa
ton year after year and finally revolted
against the dole system and insisted on a
balanced budget America has that crisis
to meet some day Our sister democracy
has met it and is thriving. Our present
glow of imaginary prosperity and the in
creased glow we shall get in the next few
months will only help the politicians once
more by permitting them to postpone the
day of we'll balanced tax system.
Here is task for the brain trust
which has with commendable zeal shown
itself Indifferent to political expediency.
The problem is simple-how to get money
out of the American people in sufficient
quantities to support an increasing federal
payroll and expense. If the profit system
is to be strangled, then some other way of
getting money must be devised. If the
government goes into all businesses and
regulates profit it must earn enough on all
its enterprises to pay large part of the
costs of state and city as well as all of the
costs of the federal governments. The in
stitutions supported by private wealth will
then become part of the governmental
burden. " S.:

Detroit, Oct. 29-(UP)-A band of modern stage coach bandits was sought today for the holdup of a Chicago bound notorious here Sunday. They took more than $125 from 10 passengers.
 Three members of the gang boarded theb us here. At least one other member trailed the bus in an automobile.
 As the bus reached the outskirts of the city, the driver, Phillip H. Feikert, became apprehensive about the trailing automobile. Its horn was honking periodically, al- though no effort was made to pass the bus.
 When the automobile horn gave off three long blasts, a bandit sit- ting behind Feikert drew gun and forced him to stop the bus. Then his two companions. who were seated in the rear, systemat- ically footed the passengers of their money and tickets.

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, Oct U.P)-Evidence of a CO., operative attitude toward the new deal similar to that displayed by the American Bankers Association at Washington last week marked the gathering of the Investment Bankers Association to-day.
 Investment bankers who nor mally supply billions of dollars of capital for American industry, in- dicated informally that they were willing to play along" with the administration.
 The keynote of their program was expected to-day in the address of George w. Bovenizer, president of the association.
 Resolutions, being framed. were expected to pledge the support of the investment bankers to recovery policies.
 The administration was closely watching proceedings in an effort to discover means of working out a solution of the present difficulty of corporations to obtain necessary capital which commercial bankers ordinarily do not provide. This has been the field of the investment banker.

GLACIER PRIEST
 TOSTUDY ISLAND

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29.-Father Bernard R. Hubbard. the priest of the glaciers said today he would spend a year on barren island off the Alaska coast to study the theory of a prehistoric migra- ation from Asia across the Boring Sea.
 Father Hubbard, a Jesuit priest, is an authority on glaciers and volcanoes in the Frozen regions.
 For his new studies he plans to go into seclusion on Kings Island, 40 miles off the Alaskan coast. In collaboration with Father Bellar- mine La Fortune, Jesuit missionary for the past 32 years at Kings Island, he hopes either to prove or disprove the theory that the an- cestors of the American Indian were asiatics. Some scientists believe that once the Boring Sea was river easily forded by migratory tribes from Asia.

 Decide The Election
Leaders of Both Democratic and Republican Parties Are Watching the Drive of Mayor McLevy-Gov-
 ernor Cross Won City Two Years Ago

Watch Bridgeport! This was the slogan of the leaders of both the republican and democratic parties of the state over the weekend. With a trend towards a McLevy majority in the Park City appar- ent, the democrats were worried and the republicans were speculat- ing. The latter are figuring that a McLevy victory in Bridgeport will assure them of a state victory. The democrats were worried along this line.
 Jasper McLevy is the mayor ot Bridgeport. He was elected on the socialist ticket last year by a majority of approximately 6,000 votes. Two years ago Governor Wilbur L. Cross, the democratic candidate for reelection, carried the Park City by a plurality of about 5,430. Should Bridgeport go socialist this year it is figured that Governor Cross chances of re- election will be endangered.
 Cross Won State By 1O,S44
 Governor Cross carried the state of Connecticut by margin of 10,- 844 votes two years ago. This mar gin was aided by the 5,430 major ity he received in Bridgeport.
