Farley Makes Prediction; If
SO Other C. o. P. States
May Fall
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer)

Washington, July 2O-Postmaster
General James A. Farley's prediction
that Joseph F. Guffey, Pennsylvania
oil man and Democratic national COM
mittee member, will, in November, win
Senator David A. Reeds seat in the
upper congressional chamber away
from him strains the imagination
pretty hard.
Politicians recognize that the Key
stone G.. o. P. is terrifically split, with
Gov. Clifford Pincoth likely to throw
his progressive strength to Guffey, and
with Reeds conservative organization
sub-split by ill feeling within its own
ranks. Still, it's to be considered thot
the Democrats failed to carry the
Quaker con n.onweafth even in 1882,
despite The tremendous Roosevelt
sweep of that year. And as for Joe
Guffey, he may impress Postmaster
General Farley as a candidate with a
strong popular appeal but it would
be difficult to find any other politi-
cal prognosticator who considers him
so. Not that Reed is anything of a
spellbinder, either, but he's a Repub-
.lican in a normally Overwhelmingly
Republican realm.
In short, if the Democrats can win
Pennsylvania, they ought to be able

CHISELING ON RELIEF

expressed the opinion that from five to 10 per
cent Of the persons on relief should not be there.
and he has promised that steps would be taken to
taxpayers.
It is a gigantic task that the federal govern
ment has to provide for those actually in need.
But how to cope with the chiselers. how to get
them off the rolls is equally difficult and as
large an order. The St. Petersburg Times be-
lieves it impossible to 'carry out this policy 100
per cent" and adds: Not in every case are re-
Hef administrative officials to blame for ineligible
IRENE care to guard absolutely against anyone not
entitled to help receiving assistance. But charges
have been made that in instances political in
fiuenee has been responsible for the placing of
persons on relief lists who should not be there.
'The burden of caring for those actually in
need will be a heavy one. To permit it to be in
creased beyond this limit would be an imposition
upon the taxpayers. The national administrator
has promised to that this is not done. He
should allow nothing to deter him in this purpose"
There is no doubt that throughout the coun-
try there are many on relief whose eligibility is
questionable, and perhaps investigation win re-

will be the occasion for paying tribute to
Christopher Columbus. one of the most
romantic and tragic figures in history.
Columbus was born in Genoa about
500 years ago, the exact date being uncer-
tain. After receiving some instruction in
science and navigation, he went to sea
early, and within a few years visited most
of the important ports of the then known
world. Having become convinced of the
spherical shape of the earth, he conceived
the idea of reaching Asia by sailing west
ward
Desiring to lead an expedition of ex-
ploration in that direction, he appealed in
vain for assistance to various rulers, and
finally to Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain
After many heartbreaking rebuffs and de-
lays, Queen Isabella aided in supplying
three small vessels for the voyage. Column

and although the fears of his sailors nearly
caused mutiny at times he reached land,
probably one of the islands OF. the Bahia
mas, on October u.
Other voyages and attempts at
colonization followed. but dissatisfaction
with the rule of Columbus resulted in his
being sent back to Spain in chains AL
though permitted to make his fourth and
last voyage after that, Columbus was never
restored to his rights, and he lived broken
and forsaken man until his death in 1906.
But his remains were to make another
voyage to America and return. First
buried in Seville; his body was removed to
Haiti in 1912; to Havana in 1875, and
finally back to Seville in 1898.
Columbus Day was first observed in
Colorado. but largely through the efforts
of the knights of Columbus its observance
has become widespread throughout the
United States.

HOME BUILDING STARTS

Delayed for weeks, the efforts of the
new Housing Administration to stimulate
the construction and durable goods indus
tries by home renovating and building is
about to get started with general indorse-
ment of major groups of the country.
Industry is throwing its full weight be-
hind this Government venture because in
the industries that would be activated lie
the great pools of unemployment that can
not be reached by stimulating the cOnsump-
ton goods industries.
This major peril of the program lies
in increased wage demands creating arti-
fetal levels These would halt home build
ing by the moderate salaried group as
artificial wages boosted the cost of goods
needed by the farmer out of his reach.
