THE function Of newspaper is to hold up,
n in its news columns. mirror which Will
truly reflect contemporary events. If the re-
Fiction is unpleasant. why. that is the fault
OF society. The news IN a daily paper should
be as objective as good looking glass.
That is the reason that The Times begins
today a series Of articles giving the inside
story Of the long chase for John DIlinger
Since this unusually lucky criminal met the
end his gang so frequently had meted out to
others a small section Of the public has been
trying to build him up into a combination Of
siegfried. Robin Hood and George Washing
ton
Some people have been displaying some
mighty shallow thinking about the whole Dill
Inger case Correspondents have said in The
Message Center" that DIlinger should be ex-
cused because he merely took at the point Of
a gun what the bankers had taken BY stealth
and deceit from unslspecting depositors
This sort of reasoning is a very ancient
fallacy. Suppose you knew that your neigh
Dor had for years been a successful safe
cracker. Would that give you the moral and
legal right to follow his example? No, two
wrongs never make a right.
We have heard a great deal of sympathy
expressed for the Dillinger family. particularly
for his father. The Times shares in this SYM
pathy. particularly since the family is thor
oughly honest and industrious. But let us not
forget the men the Dillinger mob murdered
in cold blood. They had families. too.
Basil Gallagher. Times staff man and re-
porter of most of the sensational crimes of
the past decade will in his series OF articles
tell the PLAIN. unvarnished story of the last
months of this hunted criminal After you
have read the facts. judge for yourself what
kind OF a man Dillinger really was.

FINDS NO SANCTION
IN LAW FOR NUDISM

By w. r. Terrence.
Noting different arguments in the
Message Center on nudism, espe-
cially of V B. Brown and Earl S.
Bailey, I do not condemn either
ones opinion on the subject at all,
nor do want to argue the ques-
ton.
I am not a consecrated Christian,
but believe in a Supreme Being and
what He says. Naturally, being
human, if my eyes would fall upon
a rare specimen or a thing of
beauty, or curious, and being in
the flesh, should be tempted to
look and discern it.
This question is, "Is nudism and
congregation Of both sexes in the
nude righteous or unrighteous, right
or wrong, lawful or unlawful"
well, let's see what the highest
authority says, Genesis, 2:25.
And they we're both naked, the
man and his wife, and we're not
ashamed.
Very we'll. Probably this is where
they got their nudity. If you will
notice, this was before sin and
shame entered into the world. Now
we will see what Genesis 81 says:
And the eyes of them both were
opened, and they knew that they
were naked And they sewed fig
leaves together and made them
selves aprons"
Now this happened after sin and
shame entered into the world, Of
which we are subjected to to this
day, and will be until the kingdom
comes that the will be done on
earth as it is in heaven, when
shame will be taken away.
Again in Genesis 3:21: Unto
Adam also, and to his wife, did the
Lord God make coats of skins and
clothed them" Proverbs 27:26:
THE lambs are for thy clothing"
Morally speaking. under no law
whatever of God or man can see
where both sexes should congregate
together in the nude.

with Dillinger. Sex and saloons
mean nothing to my young life.
Nudism holds no thrill, because you
come out with a cleaner mind than
when you went in.
The squawkers on nudism should
quit climbing those fences and look
ing over. The ones who squawk the
loudest must have an awful shape.
I'll say this much. Keep the
church out of politics and motion
pictures. Everybody should attend
to their own affairs and quit crying.
This world has had sin ever since
Adam, and will continue to sin to
the end.

FEARS WAR IN
EUROPE NEAR
BY Virginia Bond

Nv NtEiuld I1DHu.
The present situation abroad is
intensely discouraging to those who
believe in peace. 1t seems that the
European nations soon will be at
each others Threats crying for the
wholesale destruction Of all other
nations but their own. What is the
matter these days, anyway? Can't
the public see what another World
war will mean-universa catas-
trophe, destruction Of all civilized
values, perhaps Of all life itself.
I have heard lately one or two
persons say that I'VE need war
to bring back prosperity" I do not
know how widespread this notion
is, and for the sake of my much
shaken faith in the general intelli-
gence, I hope it is rare.
For my part, can not see how
war possibly can bring prosperity
to any but the manufacturers Of
munitions, who, Of course, are
chiefly responsible in bringing
about. this deplorable state Of
affairs.
At this writing, Austria is being
torn by civil war between two sets

Liberal Viewpoint
by DIR. HARRY ELMER BARNES =

THE seeds Of the present deplorable mix-up
IN Austria were sown by the allies in their
monstrous settlement with Austria in 1919-the
so-called treaty of st. Germain This pared
down the venerable Austrian state from an area
OF $4,000 square miles to $4,000 square miles and
the population from 100000 to 65OO,OOO
Even this greatly reduced populace was left
without adequate land to produce the needed
food supply and devoid of the natural resources
essential to carrying on extensive manufacturing
activity.
Vienna great city with 100000 inhabi-
tants was Shorn of its supporting background
and deprived of its reasons for existence Yet
It's population had to go on eating and living
The answer to this was the growth of social
ism and the agitation for union with Germany
THESE stirred up vast enthusiasm and violent
opposition. Out of this conflict grew all the lat
ter and serious complications
A I first, it seemed that Austria as a whole
L might go socialist but the socialist domin-
ion later was limited to Vienna, Linz Oraz and
other urban centers Socialistc sentiment in
the country areas was centered in the Christian
Socialists, who objected to the materialism and
SkepticiSm of the urban Socialists
The Vienna Socialists did wonders in the way
of municipal housing and welfare work but this
necessitated heavy borrowing abroad and helped
put Austrian foreign policy at the mercy of the
entente, who loaned the needed money
The hostility between city and country led
to the development of two militant groups-the
urban Socialists organized in the "Schutzbund'
and the peasantry and the landlords composing
the "heimwehr"
Il ME latter was less Christian Socialist than
l. Fascist and it was financed in large part by
Prince Ernst Won Starhemberg At first it leaned
on Italian models. AS early as 1927 the gov
eminent. with small army a0eits disposal had
difficulty in preserving order
The confusion and enmity of Austria was
further intensified by the widespread discus
sion of union between Germany and Austria,
the "Anschlusa." Many Germans felt that the
union with Austria would compensate for Ger
man losses through the treaty of Versailles
Many Austrians saw in the union the chance
to become once more members of a great Ger
man state. Yet the proposition of German
Austrian union has opponents in both states.
German Protestants feared the addition of the
large Austrian Catholic population while Ger
man industrialists thought that Austria would
only further depress German economic life.
Some Austrians feared union with Protes-
tantS; others felt that Vienna would fade before
the glory Of Berlin; Austrian Socialists feared
militaristic Prussia
So the matters stood until March, 1881.

the border, and all the other coun-
tries likewise are waiting, like &C
tors, for the proper cue, to join in
the expected fray, while the hope
for peace grows fainter and fainter.
1t would seem that only a miracle

FILLING STATION
CHANGE ASSAILED
BY a Consumer

BY Consumer.
The late John Dillinger never
pulled anything as raw as is being
pulled by a comparatively new oil
company here. Operating under
the NRA at code wages was too
much of a strain for the company
to stand. A letter was sent to sta
lions telling some employees their
stations no longer would be operat-
ed as company stations, but that
there was no cause for alarm-the
supervisor would be out in few
days to talk it over with them.
The managers are to pay all ex-
penses and run the station on a
commission, pay their helpers, or,
the company suggests, they can work
as long as they wish if they don't
wish to pay helpers. At the end of a.
month, the manager would own the
company.
The larger stations, which could
make something under this plan
are being kept company stations on
fiat rate of wages; only the small
Ter ones that don't pay are the ones
on the New DEAL

SUGGESTS WAY
TO END CRIME

Ry Reader.
I read Wednesday about another
big pay roll holdup. AS it happened,
John Dillinger was in town, but it
couldn't be blamed on him.
John was just another poor boy
gone wrong. Many crimes were
laid to him that he couldn't possibly
have done.
The public wonders how crime
ever will be stopped. That can be
figured out easily. Let the poll
ticians quit their dirty work and get
down to honesty. open up factories
and get business going. Pay good

TREATED UNFAIRLY

We do not believe those brave
cops gave Johnnie a fair chance.
We think it was the meanest trick
ever played on a person. The cops
got some double crossing woman TO
put poor Johnnie on the spot, so
our brave police would shoot him
down in cold blood.
The law gave Johnnie very bad
break at the start. 1t was enough
to make him turn on the worlo and,
instead of helping him, it gave him
kicks and knocks.

TRAFFIC BUREAU
ABOLITION SOUGHT
Citizens Also Ask Park.Met-
ropoIitan Police Combine
and Parking Relief.

The Dahlgren . Terrace Citizens
Association was on record today as
favoring immediate abolition of the
Police Department Traffic Bureau,
consolidation OF the United States
park police and the metropolitan po-
lice and removal of all parking
restrictions south Of Pennsylvania
avenue.
A resolution asking these changes
was passed by the association unani-
mously last night after q report by
the Law and Legislation Committee,
which made diligent investigation
into the police and traffic situation.
Auto Tagging Scored.
A. F. E scheer, president, who pre-
sented the report and recommen-
dations in the absence of the commit
tee chairman. told the association that
IL per cent of the entire Metropolitan
Police Department is assigned to the
Traffic Bureau. He said that while
officers, sometimes working in pairs,
are touring the streets of the down.
town section, tagging automobiles for
parking offenses, crimes of more Seri-
GUS nature should receive their at
tention.
Consolidation Of the park and
metropolitan police forces, he said,
would increase the personnel of the
department by at least 10 per cent
and cut down the overhead. He
pointed out there Is only one foot
patrolman pounding a beat Of II
square miles in the Dahlgren Terrace
section between midnight and 8 am.
The association also recommended an
increase in the personnel of the
twelfth precinct, which embraces that
area.
Fight Threatened.
What threatened to be a hot fight
over the recommendations developed
In debate over the resolution, but
Scheer finally paved the way for
unanimous adoption. Two members
opposed making any attack on the
Police Department. They withdrew
their objections when Scheer pointed
out the association is not criticizing
the police, but, on the contrary, SYM
pathizing with them and trying to get
legislative assistance.
c. E. Nelson, Sunday editor Of The
Star, in a brief address on the me-
chanics of putting out a newspaper,
gave some interesting sidelights on
newspaper work. He was guest Of
honor Of the association, which had
dedicated its second meeting of the
