A Mental BaU-WaIking Trick

to be denounced as murderer and recon-
Il mended for death by Mr.. Darrow is a fate
which is as bad as death itself. To be placed
beyond the generous compassion of the man who
heightened the American respect for law and the
sanctity of human life by enabling Leopold and
Loeb to get away with the most frightful murder
which murderous country has produced in twenty
years is to find ones self blackballed from the
human race Herr Hitler should feel severely
rebuked
Often in Mr.. DarroW's career it has seemed that
he was striking attitude which strained his
social and emotional ligaments and gave him to
say nothing of Others pain in the neck
His angry outcry against Adolf Hitler seems
much more honest than his speech in defense of
the two young degenerates who killed Bobby
Franks and much more wholesome, too. His defense
of Leopold and Loeb a job of mental ball
walking and great trick. But if he is honest
about Hitler he was only playing the lawyers game
and his great humantarianism was strictly an act
when he talked the two fun-lovng boys out of
the electric chair.
Hitler is said to be Wild-eyed nut who thinks
ne is right. Mr.. DarrOW's clients Leopold and Loeb
were not nuts and they for instant doubted
that they were wrong.

Buckminster Fuller thus fore
sees an early future:
New roads will have to be built
to accommodate the 100-mile-an-
hour speed we all are going to
find commonplace. New improve
mentS will call for entirely diff
ferent conception of the use of
materials such as rubber, steel,
aluminium, zinc and copper. The
revolution of the car will be
boon to the industry and all aff1li-
ated industries. 1t will have a
direct bearing on a trend that be-
comes increasingly evident-the
decentralization of our cities"
AS progress in design and engi-
neering continues the question
arises of whether initiative on the
part of industrialists will keep
pace Will the industrial pioneers
of yesterday have counterpart
tomorrow? Will a call have to be
sounded to stir others? And
where to find them?

Crossing Up the Citizens

1T turned out that they had pTged Bobby Franks
merely to see whether they could get away
with it,
Taking one consideration with another and antic-
lpating all the standard excavations with which
the distinguished members of Mr. Darrow's never-to-
be-adequately- honOred profession had made them
familiar, the citizens of Chicago had reason to con-
clude that Mr.. Darrows clients were guilty of muir
der.
In these circumstances, Mr.. Darrow whose toll
erance knew no bounds, crossed up the citizens of
chicago. He agreed with them that the Messrs.
Leopold and Loeb had oVerstepped the limits of re-
fined humor in killing Bobby Franks for the fun
of it.
Mr.. DarroW entered plea of guilty but he did
not agree, as he has now agreed in the case of
Adolf Hitler, that the murdererS ought to be dead
On the contrary, Mr. DarroW shook his forelock
Gown over his nose, assumed his most paternal not
long for-thiS-word- anyway manner and talked the
unfortunate judge into state.
He talked the judge into such state that the
Judge capitulated and, instead of condemning Leo
pold and Loeb to DEATH ordered them preserved
from death as long as they might naturally live.
therefore, If at this time, you should some how i'm
prove an opportunity to infict upon Mr. Darrow's
late clients that death which he recommends for
Adolf Hitler, you would be indicted for murder
And, lacking Mr.. Darrows assistance in court you
might be sentenced to death yourself

The results of the poll showed
that an overwhelming majority
could answer the Presidents first
question in the affirmative. They
were better off" this year than
they were last.
Some said their economic con-
ditions we're only slightly better,
but only four, the Ohio railway
employee. the Pittsburgh steel
hand, the San Francisco execu-
tive and the Georgia cotton
broker said that they were no
better of under the New Deal.
Sentiment for the President
was almost unanimous - much
more so than for all his policies
or his advisers. All but two said
that if Roosevelt were up for re-
election this year. they would vote
to continue him in office. The two
exceptions were the Pittsburgh
steel executive and the steel
worker.
CONFIDENCE in the future
~ was not expressed with the
same enthusiasm. The general
opinion was expressed that RooSe-
Welt would have to get more CO.
operation from the country. that
too many elements were opposing
him. that pulling the nation out
of the depression was too great
task for one man.
Opinions on RooSevelt's policies
were sharply divided. Sentiment
for the AAA was exactly fifty
fifty. for and against. A majority
favored continuation of the NRA,
although almost all suggested
notifications. and several pointed
to lack of code enforcement as
one of the weakest spots in the
New Deal.
The brain trust came in for
some severe panning. but also
found some friends. Its enemies,
however. were in about so per
cent Majority. The vote was over
whelming that Roosevelt should
move to the right rather than the
left.

Here are the answers to the
first cross-section poll, conducted
by an Atlanta newspaper. An in
terview with one of largest cotton
merchants in the southeast:
Has the New Deal improved
your economic condition? No.
Should Roosevelt swing more
to the right or left? He should go
straight ahead in a conservative
way.
What is the weakest spot in the
New Deal? Unnecessary eXtrava-
gance. creation of too many poll
teal boards and useless personnel.
What is the most urgently
needed next step the President
should take? Get the government
entirely out of business; reduce
governmental expenses and re-
duce all forms of taxes.
What do you think of the brain
trust? The country generally has
no confidence in the brain trust
and its theories. Its members
should be returned to their
schools and colleges.
If Roosevelt was up for re-elec-
ton this year, would you vote to
continue him in office? Yes, he is
a great leader and the best pos
sible man for the job.

Mr.. Darrow may be recalled
as the counsel who enabled two
of the most distinguished as
saSsins of our time in the
United States to get away with
a mischievous juvenile prank
which, to many other persons,
had some of the aspects of
willful murder. In this case,
Mr.. Darrow's clients took
school-boy named Bobby
Franks out into the suburbs of
Chicago and purged him to
death for the fun of it. The
citizens sense of humor failed
them lamentably in this crisis
and they jumped to the con-

in the last year is not that it
decided to spend money to start
activity, but that the spending
policy was accompanied by other
policies that discouraged the re-

NEW YORK, N. Y, July cit must be a great
blow to Adolf Hitler to hear that Mr.. Ciar-
ence barrow has denounced his purging process in
Germany as murder Coming from Mr.. Darrow
murder is a nasty word. And when he also said he
thought Herr Hitler ought to be dead he must have
been churned to the depths of his remarkably
tolerant soul After all this time it is something to
learn from Mr. Darrow that there is such thing
as murder and that murderers deserve to die.

clients exceeded the bounds of innocent play and
constituted murder of a particularly wanton and
atrOciOuS kind
Thanks in large part to the art and the broad
mindedneSS of the legal profession, the citizens of
Chicago long since had been educated away from
the narrow prejudice against homicide or purgery
as Herr Hitler might call it, which is common in
most communities. Therefore when they suspected
that the purging of Bobby Franks had been muir
der, and no fooling, it obvious that the boys
had ventmed pretty close to the reprehensble in
doing what they did

CTREAMLINE here and stream
~ line there! As much uncon-
sidered talk Of streamline, pro and
con. as of the New Deal! All the
while engineers of aero dynamics
and carbohydrates stand sadly
by.
Since Aristotle praised the
syctalae, sledge laid loosely on
two logs, while others held it sus-
pect, most innovations in vehic-
ular style have thus found cham
pions and foes. But seldom has
the significance of the shape of
the vehicle been so generally mis-
apprehended.
That shape, contrary to the
belief of many, is not one merely
of sweeping Mae West curves, nor
of such lovely outline as the
white birch. 1t varies with the
size of the object and the ma
ture of the medium.
But the essential features are
these: The streamline shape has
a blunt nose, its hump is in front
of the mid-length and the tail is
sharp. The curvature must be as
free and continuous as if it were
a Grecian urn, without the urn's
wind resistance.
Obviously, a Streamlined mu-
steal instrument is an anomaly, a
streamline divan a libel on no
menclature.
TN automobiles, however, the
Il trend actually is toward the
pure streamline. Some look more
like eggs halved the long way
than they used to; when they are
exactly streamlined, they will look
much more so than they do now.
So today the pioneers in design
are predicting that for several
years the passenger automobiles

THE danger has not been in
u the spending policy as such:
1t has been in the accompanying
policies which neutralize it.
For if the government spends
huge sums to prime the pump"
but won't let the pump work, then
it is faced with endless spending.
That would lead ultimately to
all those dangers of a collapse of
credit and of a resort to fat
money which the opponents of
spending" fear. Those dangers
would arise not from the spend
ing policy but from other policies
which prevented the spending
from achieving its result.
There are many signs that this
now is beginning to be under

amendment of the securities act,
the retreat of NRA from the
price-fXing arrangements, and
the strong intimation that the ad-
ministratiOn will now seek to re-
duce the costs of construction.
