HOLMAN
RETURNING To
FOO TIGHTS

PHILADELPHIA, June 8 GIN.
S.).-Removed from a Broadway
which once acclaimed her throaty
renditionS of Body and Soul"
Libby Holman will come back to
the stage on June 16, it was
learned today.
This time she will not sing
the torch songs which sky
rocketed her to fame on Manhat-
tan'S White Way before she de-
serted the footlights to become
the bride Of the, late Smith
Reynolds tobacco heir.
Now the dark-haired, sad-eyed
beauty, whose gay existence was
clouded in the tragedy of her
husbands death aspires to the
nobler aspects Of her art.
In the comparatively obscure
Hedgerow Theater at Rose Valley,
a playhouse dedicated to high
brow" drama, Miss Holman will
make her debut as a dramatic
actress.
Under the tutelage Of Jasper
Deeter, the dark-haired songstress
has trained herself to follow in
the footsteps of Bernhardt. DuSe
and Cornell. Her consuming am
bition is to join the galaxy of
the theater's great feminine per-
formers. Whether she will some
day realize this ambition depends
in large part on the success or
failure of her forthcoming debut
in her tutors playhouse.
Mr.. Deeter has not revealed
the name of the vehicle which
has been selected for Miss Hol-
man.

WOMEN IN POLITICS

NOV it is reported that Mrs. William
~ LANCER. wife Of the ousted governor Of
North Dakota, may run for the govenorship
herself. and one is moved to hope that the
report is incorrect.
Not that women aren't needed in politics.
Far from IT, But the woman who IS to make
a valuable contribution to our political life
must build her own career and stand on her
own feet In too many cases, women have
gone into politics as proxies for their hus-
bands. The Fergusons in Texas have given
the most noticeable example Of how that
works
Heaven knows American politics offers
women a rich field. Such women as Judge
Florence Allen Of Ohio and Labor Secretary
Frances Perkins have shown how proftably
it can be cultivated. But the woman who
goes into politics as her husbands alter
ego does little to convince anyone that
women have a valuable contribution to make
in American pubic life

THE TRAIL OF TREES

II. 100 years from now, the New Deal still
is remembered as that period when the
American people took over control OF their
own destiny. the greatest physical monument
to the era well may be green belt of trees
in strips mile apart and 1000 miles long
across the western plains.
This latest ambitious undertaking Of the
Roosevelt administration is one that will cap
ture the Imagination of all who think in
terms Of future generations. Our civilizations
that inhabited the once-fertile regions of the
Cobb and Sahara allowed their lands to be
turned into desolate deserts Of drifting sands.
Through the last few generations, Amer
lea has thrilled at the notwithstanding spec
tacle Of pioneers who turned their plows into
the grassy sod. building bread basket for
the nation out of what was once the home of
rowing Indians and buffalo Now it falls the
lot of this generation to check the ravages Of
nature which have followed relentlessly in
the trail of the pioneers. For years this land,
nc longer held down by the matted roots Of
grass. has been wasted away by the erosive
forces of winds and floods
II the Presidents gigantic planting
program can be carried out, our western plains
will, instead of becoming a desert, be continued
as fertile and more dependable farm region,
protected in small way against the recur-
ring disasters of drought. 1t is no half-baked
theory that the presence or absence Of trees
has a decided effect upon climate. Other ma
tons long since have learned the lesson of
land and forest conservation. On the steppes
OF Russia. which are very similar to our west
ern plains. an even more stupendous tree
planting program is under way
To learn this lesson, America has had to
witness several blghting droughts and expert
ence the awful phenomenon of a windstorm
that swept the dust of the Dakotas all the
way to the Atlantic seaboard
1t has been estimated that this planting
OF a million and one-half acres OF trees to
protect 64OOOOOO acres OF land will require
ten years and cost a total of S75,OOOOOO 1t
sounds like an abSurdly low cost estimate But
1t would be hard to make an estimate that
would seem too high in view OF what is at
stake. Soil erosion losses each year in only
six of the basins tributary to the Mississippi
have been estimated at from s186OOO 900 to
S255 100000
Compared to future benefits the immediate
advantages are neglible. Yet this program pro-
wdes practical plan for giving work and
wages to drought distressed farmers, who
otherwise would have to be maintained by
doles

MR.. PECORA ASSURES US

A WHOLE lot Of ardent liberals were more
: \ or less disturbed when President Roose-
welt put Joseph p. Kennedy on the federal
stock market control agency, and when Mr..
Kennedy was elected chairman of that body.
For here was a Wall Street man given lead
erShip of a group appointed to put q curb
on Wall Street: and it hardly is surprising
that some people didn't like the looks OF it.
Now. however. Ferdinand Pecora, himself
a member Of the commission. expresses him
self as follows:
I Ike him Mr.. Kennedy immensely and
think his knowledge along with his expert
ence Will be OF incalculable assistance to the
commission. l think the man is OF sound
judgment anc ne knows how TO 90 things"
This recommendation should quiet the
fears OF the liberals. No living man is more
honest and determined in the fight to regu-
late Wall Street than Mr.. Pecora II he is
satisfied with Mr.. Kennedy, the rest of US
needn't worry much.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
PUBLIC SERVICE

COLONEL HENRY NJ. WAITE has served
~ his country well. In national emer-
gency he was called to help direct the expen-
diture Of three billion dollars Of the taxpayers
money. Throughout the country are evidences
that the money was spent prudently in the
big offensive against the depression.
Due largely to the colonels vigilance,
efforts TO convert the public works fund into
a pork-barrel fund were defeated. HaraSsed
on all sides by influential favor seekers the
PWA deputy administrator worked untiringly
and uncompromisingly for the public interest.
After fifteen hectic months in Washington,
Colonel Waite is entitled to rest but, in
stead. he is returning to Cincinnati to help
his home community solve its problems Of
unemployment and rehabilitation.

BIRTH CONTROL AND
MODERN ECONOMICS

BY a Sucker
Why should an ardent Socialist
ask if any man has the moral right
to bring children into the world TO
be on charity? Why did he not ask:
Does society have the right to
rob millions Of their buying power,
thus incarcerating them in chains
of poverty, and then after doing so,
expect them to eXterminate them
selves by birth control methods"
America is not suffering from
over population. Hence, seeking to
reduce population by birth control
Will not relieve, but aggravate our
situation. If We exterminated our
present army Of unemployed by this
method, We would soon create an
other. unless we removed the cause
of the first. The worlds ailment IS
credits"
If America discovers its cure there
Will be plenty Of room for a greater
population.
Hoggish persons advocate birth
control because they think de-
creased population would give them
more room to root. But what bene-
fit would a hog gain by roofing in
the Sahara desert?

could take care of us. He has

pens to have a home Of his own

This rule does not apply to all
families. Is this what President
Roosevelt means when he talks
about building up the American
home? Any sane person knows
the best way to wreck home is
to force families to live together,

them tell it, and the main excuse
was that my house was furnished

1t used to be in America that a
man having a home we'll furnished

asset. Under present rulings, he
is a liability. In some cases, re-

ARBITRATION BEFORE STRIKES

THE average industrial dispute IN this
country. If 1t reaches the stage of open
warfare. passes through three phases.
First. there is the period in which both
sides hurI defiance and call on heaven and
earth 10 witness that they are completely and
everlaStngly in the right.
Next comes the time of outright hostilities
The workers lay down their tools and walk out
or they are locked out by the bosses; picket
lines form at the gates strikebreakers come
to work with varying mixtures OF sheeplshness
and defiance: heads set laid open, tear gas
bombs are thrown. windows are broken and
the usual bloody and tumultuous procedure
costly to every one involved, is followed
Then. last Of all. comes the settlement. I'm
less one side or the other wins clear-cut VIC
tory. the general stats of the two sides get
together. neutrals are called in. and the whole
dispute is put up TO arbitration
In the end the arbitration committee hands
down its decision. the contending parties
accept it with cheers or with scowls work is
resumed again-and one more industrial musS-
up is over.
IL makes a rather dreary and dScOura glng
routine 1t is horribly expensive; the owner
loses dividends. sometimes loses fat orders;
frequently has property damage TO pay for; the
workers lose wages and in many cases get
dubbed and punched as we'll; the general
public suffers inconvenience has TO pay for
extra police work and in varying WAYS plays
the unhappy role Of the innocent byStander.
And il all leads one 10 wonderfully, since

SUGGESTS CLEANING UP
OF VOTE SITUATION

BY r. Z. \.
Your paper carried an editorial
Saturday suggesting that the vote
scandal situation in indianapolis
and Marion county be cleaned up
and cleaned up properly. I agree
with that.
1t is high time that the public Of
fcials Of this county quit trying to
ram down our Threats tales Of not
being able TO prove their cases and
not being able to find anyone to in
dict.
If a crime has been committed
some one did il. Then, why in the
name Of all that's that, can't the
crime be pinned on some one?
Surely this vote and bank situa-
ton is not going to be like it was
in Indianapolis a few years ago
when Manufacturing police officers
were murdered at random during
the period Of a year and no one
