REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT A LEG TO STAND ON IN
 NEW DEAL CRITICISM
editor of The Democrat


 Like thousands of others who are faced with the responsibility oi rearing a family under, present conditions. I have been an. inter- ested reader of political news dur. ing the campaign now coming to close. And after digesting tha, news as far as am capable one great thought sticks out, and that is that the republican party is ab- solutely without a program. Criti- cism of the New Deal"' (abuse would probably be the better word ) has been rampant in republican circles, but not single .construc- tive, criticism,r not single substi- tuition for the New Deal in any of it's phases, has been offered.
 MT Alcorn in one of his addresses stated that we needed men like. the late President Coolidge in politics. May I ask. what on earth for? He sat atop an inflated bubble for four years and when the bubble showed unmistakable signs of leak, he didn't choose" to be the goat.
 The same republican party which asks for your franchise on Tuesday can trace it's ancestry back to the unsavory era of Fall, Sinclair, Doheny and company. Down through the Harding administra- ton all through Coolidge's and on through Hooverss the same choice collection of political pirates held sway. .. e.y.> s,.s
 President Hoover at mass meeting in New York just previous to his departure Tor California to vote informed an audience of over 10000 that the depression had turned the corner IS months be- fire. Which corner was that? Og- den Mills informed us in his pre-. election speeches that the depres-

council and the national emer- gency council, with Richberg at the head of the new unit.
 There. are two other items in the order whose weighty inn portance in coming events is known to only few on the in- side.
 The first was the broad power bestowed on Richberg to select the field and headquarters per- sonnel of the consolidated agen- cy without regard to civil serv- ice requirements.
 This means that Richberg has been entrusted with the task of organizing a staff that can reach into every sizable com munity in the country, and be beholden directly to the White House.
 The second was the detailed enumeration of the many func- tions of the new council. and particularly the statement that it will "cooperate with any federal agency in performing such activities as the president may direct.".1
 What this means is that Rich- berg, in effect, becomes sort of cabinet member-at-large.
 Keep your eye on this bright young man and his new depart ment." Once the election is out of the way things will begin to 2 happen. CHANGE BRAINS M Y It was pure chs1ce which < gathered some of the presidents brain trust together, and it was pure chance. which dispersed them.
 Professor Moley, the first man in the picture, got to know Roosevelt when the latter was i. governor of New York, and when Moley was serving on his : crime commission.
 Professor TugwelI happened to get into the picture because he lived near Molcy at Columbia university. MOley asked him to work out some eOnOmic ideas for Roosevelt.
 Adolf Berle happened to join the group because he gave a talk at the Harvard club one night; afterward drafted a mem- orandum of the discussion and sent it to those who were pres ent. One of them happened to show it to Moley. Another to Coloney House. Both showed 1t to the presidential candidate.

So They Say

The motivating purpose of the New Deal has been that not created to serve society, but that society should be organized to serve the welfare of the individual.

OUR CHUCKLE CORNER By Emmett R. Post

Only grass widows can pick their way out of wedlock.
 After the nuptial knot has been united the widow shows she knows her ropes.
 Many old maids could have a widows right had they taken what was left.
 When a widow joins a nudist colony you can see right through her.
 Some widows put away pennies for a rainy day, when most fellows are expecting cloud brust.
 Many red headed widows have melted icemen's hearts.
 A widows will has been known to keep lawyer up all night try ing to brake it.
 Some widows remind us of Max Baer's right. They're stunning.
 Then there's the widow who got her rings on the telephone, her dates sugared and her heat canned.
 The widow who looks like a morning glory spends most of her time in the moonlight.
 And there's the widow who has Knee Action" and silent Second" but has to buy her Live Power"

Washington, Nov. 5-A new war is in the making behind the scenes in the strife-scarred steel industry.
 This particular struggle is nor, however, a conflict with labor. The brewing battle is among the. steel moguls themselves over the issue of high price maintenance.
 A number of younger, inde- pendent companies, led by Re- public and Weirton, both giants in their own right, are taking the position that steel prices should be drastically cut so as to step up consumption.
 A high volume of production on a reduced margin of profit, they argue, is better business than small output at high price.
 The independents forced a slash in prices last spring. Now they are talking of still further pruning.
 If the giants of the old-line corporations-commonly known as "The Trust"-refuse to go along with such a policy, and the independents put up a fight, the country will witness spec tacular and unprecedented bat tie.
 PRODUCTION CONTROL
 Avalon E. Hall, republican op- ponent of North Carolina's Dcm- ocratic Representative, Walter Lambeth, hasn't chance to be elected.
 But he can solace himself with having pulled one of the best lines in this years cam paigns.
 Throughout his electioncring, Hall was grievously handicapped by the lack of a personal issue against his opponent. Then, quite unexpectedly, La m b e h presented him with one.
 Lambeth's wife gave girth to twins, and Hall grabbed his op- portunity. L%
 In his next speech he orated as follows:
 q hear my opponent has just become the father of twins. Well, want to congratulate him. Twice, in fact. First, on his bOuntiful parenthoOd, secondly on his good luck that the Roosevelt administration is not enforcing production control on children.
 'If it were true, it would just be too bad for Lambeth. He would have to blow one of the twins under." GOING UP
 Broad-shouldered Donald R. Richberg is still climbing sky ward in power in the presidents inner group of advisers.
 That is the true significance behind the recent executive or- der consolidating the executive

"I'd like to meet that man," said Roosevelt. So Berle was in- itiatcd into the brain trust.
 Later he brought with him Charles Taussig for whom Berle served as attorney.
 Thus the family grew. And in somewhat the same way, the past year has seen the little group gradually disintegrate.

Selected Poem
A MILD DAY IN NOVEMBER

(Charles Wharton Stork in the Christian Science
 Monitor) They know not beauty well who do not love The color blending of an autumn day: Horizon clouds that in vioet-gray, Blue of a childs eyes dreaming deep above In mists of pearl soft ever dove Was breasted with, and browns that dim away From lighter tones of withered grass and clay To the rich umber of purplng grove. Spring colors shout, but gently limited hues Like these can make us listen, till hear The monologue of winds that vaguely muse, Treble of sparrows twittering faintly clear, And lisp of falling leafage it strews motley coverlet for the slumbering year.

We don't think that tavern owners are assuming the correct attitude in attack ing Governor Cross for apparent faults in the liquor law And the most recent of all is charge by E. Jackson Ryan, organ izer of the Connecticut Tavern Owners association, that Governor Cross declared no one wants hard liquor in taverns. Gov ernor Cross may have made this remark, but we doubt if it was uttered just the way MT Ryan makes it out. In the first place Governor Cross in stating his position on liquor was quick to state that he believed the tavern was problem which required some careful study. Another thing. that must be kept in mind is the fact that the tavern would not exist were it not for the same liquor law that is criticized.

IMPROVEMENT IN
 ALTIMETERS SEEN
Current Instruments Use-
 less After Reaching StratOspheric Zones

Paris (UP)-How hig can man fly? That's a problem that has been worrying officials of the Interna- tional Aeronautic Federation.
 "The higher we go the less we know,' said Paul Tissandier, gen. eral secretary of the federation. "Our present instruments are re- liable enough up to a certain alti- tude, but when they get up into the stratosphere regions they be- come subject to cosmic impulses beyond the ken of aeronautlc psy- chiatrists.
 Affected by temperature. hu- midity, atmospheric rarefication and who knows what intcrstellar rays, our altimeters are liable to make mistakes of from n few feet to half q mile.
 we really do not know and cannot tell, in my estimation. if Lieutenant Settle flew higher than Prokovieff and vice versn. What we are officially sure Of In the American's case and morally sure of in the Russians is that Profes- aor Piccard's mark was bettered. Exactly by how much, however, must remain uncertain.
 "Altimeters have been found to be unreliable by airplnno pilots, who did not roach tho strntophere and thero iB every indication their unreliabiiity inereases in ratio to tho altitude attained.
