par score of SO, and win almost single
handed a match against AL Houghton

ing how in the world gent who
stands little more than feet inches
and weighs around las pounds can
pummel a golf ball so numerically
and outstrip even the best efforts of
the longer hitters like Roland Mac
Kenzie. They watched Cruickshank
take his lengthy driver in hand and
wallop that sphere to places which
had the pop-eyed Kenwood fans Won
dering just what it takes to hit a
ball so hard. They looked at Cruicky,
two heads shorter than Mackenzie. q
full head shorter than Houghton and
smaller than Barnett, and wondered
whether all the golf injunctions are
worth anything in the face OF such
tremendous hitting by man so small.
Bobby Cruickshank, one of the finer
hitters in golf. also possesses one Of
the finest pivots the ancient game has

it was made without teeing the ball.

been made at Kenwood under these

belated appearance at the Rid

headline 10-round scrap.
Charley is not in very good graces
at present with local ring fans and
the District Boxing Commission be-
cause he fiatly refused to battle Lew
Feldman for Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn several weeks ago. The tall
transplanted Floridan pleaded a bad
hand after he signed with Ahearn to
meet any available opponent and
though the commission physician de-
clared, after examination, that the
mitt was okay it still was nix with
Won Reedon.
Charley invoked the commission S
wrath and that of the fans as well
after his substitute. Ernie Rather
failed to give Feldman much of a
workout in the Districts inaugural
legal battle. He will be allowed to
fight tonight, but it must be a real
performance or else he may find him

Only Spot on Record.

TN ALL fairness to Charles, how
i ever, it must be said the peculiar
Feldman incident was the first
splotch on the local featherweight' S
record. A theory was advanced that
Won Reedon was afraid of Feldman,
but that idea is out. Any one who
saw him snap up a shot with frankie
Covelli at Portner's last Winter on
half an hours notice knows Charley
has plenty of courage. Covelli's foe
failed to show and Won Reedon was
spotted in the audience. In spite of
the fact that he had just slowed away
q big meal and had been out of train
ing for more than week, he took the
fight, knocked Covelli down in the first
round and lost a disputed decision.
There must have been another rea-
son for Charley's reluctance to meet
Feldman. Perhaps an inkling of what
st was will be furnished tonight.
AL Gillette isn't the greatest
featherweight campaigning today, but
he was good enough to lick the same
Covelli fellah, q feat which in no
way hurts prospects for scrap to-
night. AL is a youngster, also has
licked Steve Smith. and has been in
the ring with some of the best 1876
Founders in the game.

THEY RULED AMERICA

nNE thing the depression has done for u.s. It
- has taught us that national life is more
economic than political, that those who really
run the destiny of the country are not the
politicians but the big industrialists and bank
erS. So there is great public interest in
the government Investigations of our business
rulers. And that in turn has stimulated inter-
est in the business rulers of the past
Matthew Josephson rides that wave of in
terest in his new book THE Robber Barons"
(Harcourt, Bracco). 1t is the story of the
piratical crew that looted the richest nation in
the world in the half century following our
Civil war, and thereby became our Best Fam
lies
Perhaps some of the professors may COM
plain that this is merely popularization of
twice-told tale. 1t would be very much worth
while if it were only that. But it is more.
Josephson is careful of his acts, and he writes
brilliantly with an eye to the whole scene The
result is more than rehash or combined sum-
mary of score of biographies of the individu-
al robber barons-the Cookies, Morgans, Fisks,
Vanderbilts, Goulds. Huntington, Hills, Har-
rimanS, Fricks Stanfords, Carnegies, Rookie
fellers
The important thing about these ruthless
highbinders of American resources and
finance was that they we're not exceptions.
They and their lesser imitators were the
typical and inevitable results of the cut-throat
American system of greed. They played a
game in which the most clever and unscru-
pulous won.
If you don't believe it, read Josephsons
factual account of how we got that way.

INSURING INDUSTRY

TINE administration will fall short of its
promise if it leaves America with no better
answers to unemployment than doles or So
called made work. The Wagner-Lewis unem-
ployment insurance bill is a better answer.
While it sets minimum security standards
for the states it does not dictate to them the
type of unemployment insurance laws to adopt.
They may choose the Ohio, or the Wisconsin,
or any other plan for the compulsory building
of reserves. By leaving federal tax on pay
rolls and giving employers refunds up to the
amounts they have paid into state funds, the
proposed law would encourage all states to
come into the insurance system and thus
remove the old interstate competition barrier.
Here, as Dr. Paul Douglas says, is federalism
at its best
The insurance idea. too. is orthodox to
Americans, who have learned to insure against
every sort of contingency. Employers now
paying s200,0O0000 year in benefits to injured
workmen can not object to insuring their
workers also against the hazards of jobless-
ness.
The Wagner-Lew1s bill can do nothing for
the millions of voorhees, men and women
caught in the present crisis. But the govern
ment should begin row to plan against a
repetition of this costly sort of unpreparedness.
Its credit can not long stand the drain of
billion dollars year for inadequate relief AS
prosperity returns industry should start setting
aside security reserves from its earnings The
well-being of those who man industry's
ie oIoo
as rent, interest and depreciation reserves.
Congress should not adjourn without setting
American industry to this essential task.

REAL ARMY AIR FACTS

NEARLY a decade ago an army officer
named William Mitchell created a great
uproar by charging that America wasn't get
ting what it was paying for in the way of
military air services.
For time his charges were the talk of r.
nation. When the furore died down an
when the smoke cleared away about all that
had happened was that General Mitchell had
got himself in very bad with his superiors.
Now the stage seems set for another up
roar of the same kind.
The army took over the air mail routes.
Several army hers were killed in the per-
Torrance of their duty And the echoes of
General A1itchells charges of long ago roll
across the air once more, as American citi-
Gems ask themselves uneasily if their army
air corps is really all that it ought to be-
It is hardly apparent that the exact ms
and outs of this situation are going to be
extremely hard to get at. Bias and partisan
ship are appearing on both sides of the ar
gument
How much of the army's difficulties may
be due to inexperience, how much to faulty
equipment, how much to bad weather and
how much to sheer rotten luck-these are
matters in which we do not yet have enough
information to judge correctly.
And it is equally certain that we need that
information very badly
During the last decade the nation has
spent large sums on its military aviation
services. 1t has spent enough money to have
an air corps equal in equipment and de-
pendability to any in the world
If it has no such service, it would like to
know it, and it also would like to know why.
Out of the present air mail mixup there
should come a thorough. far-reaching inves-
tigation. Not one designed to get the head
OF this man or that man; not one designed
to show some corporation up, or gain political
advantage for one faction or another lust

facts. so that we may know definitely whether
there is anything wrong with our flying corps

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES :
NOT SO BAD

DURING the last two months the fact that
II the federal deficit is rising to new high
has impressed itself pretty thoroughly on the
minds of all citizens. 1t might be worth while
to point out that the picture isn't quite as
bad as it looks.
To begin with. the treasury at the end CT
February had balance of slightly less than
$4,000 900 900, largely as a result of its profls
on the devaluation of gold. Although some
81, 600 900 of this has been set aside to
stabilize foreign exchange, the money eyentu-
ally should be available for reducing the debt
which is scheduled to increase by only
s3,796, 100000 between now and the end of
next June.
In addition, $5,462 900 900 of the debt rep
resents loans made through the RFC. Eventu-
ally most Of this money will be repaid.
Our financial condition, in other words, is
a good deal more comfortable than it ap-
pears to be.

SOCIETY ABOVE CRIME

1T seems family ridiculous, at first glance,
l. to read of the elaborate precautions that
have been taken at Lima, O., to keep the
Dillnger gangsters in Jail. Machine gun
nests cordons of national guardSmen, files of
special deputies, patrolmen scanning all roads
leading into the city-all this seems like lot
of trouble to take just to keep two or three
thugs in Jail.
But it is trouble that is worth taking lust
the same A little bit more is involved in
this case than in the ordinary criminal case.
The Dillinger mob is one that set itself
above the law-and its leader, for the time
being, has proved too slippery an individual
to hold.
No matter what it costs or how much
trouble it is, the rest of the gang must be
shown that society is strong enough to keep
its hands on them and subject them to the
orderly processes of law.

A SECTIONAL VOTE

CENATE rejection of the st. Lawrence water

The treaty was negotiated by a Republican
President and its most vigorous advocates in
the senate were the Republicans Vandenberg

twenty Republicans and twenty-five Demo-

CAFETERIA SCORED FOR
NRA MANAGEMENT

BY Mrs. E. R.
Please tell me through your
column how we restaurant workers
may get relief from "chiselers." I
am stating facts, not hearsay.
One cafeteria before the NRA was
paying $3.50, meals included" ST.
was deducted for laundry, leaving
$3.50. An employe was on duty
from 9 a. m. until p. m, with two
hours rest in afternoon.
Since signing the NRA We re-
ceive the big sum of SO and start
work at $50, just one-half hour
less than before. Our meals were
added to this making $12 We were
not allowed to select our meals, and
now we have to pay for them. We
have to take left-overS that many
times are not fit to eat. At no
time are we allowed desert, and not
even meat (hash excepted, or fish.
Is this fair to us? We are paying?
Are split hours allowed?
This cafeteria advertises fresh
cooked vegetables to mislead the
public while they use canned vege-
tables.
This complaint has been made to
NRA representatives, but as they
are regular customers, nothing has
been done.
This cafeteria has the nerve to
have the blue eagle in the window.
Hoping to see this in your column
and thanking you for cooperation
with Hugh S. Johnson.
