And We Paid Money for This!
 Editorial taken from an To- wa newspaper.)

Uncle Sam bought Alaska from Russia for $7,000,000 and it begins to look as though he was gypped. Oh, we know all about the gold and fur and sal mon and other valuable prod ucts this country has taken out of Alaska in the last sixty-odd years! We grant your con- tention that the monetary re- turn from Alaska has been many, many times what Uncle Sam put into it.
 But maybe you haven't heard what We just heard. The telegraph editor, who keeps a wary eye on such matters, says Alaska is suffering in the grip of an unprecedented heat wave, with temperaturs around 100. Whats more, the heat wave is reported to be heading this way
 Now wouldn't that jar you? Here we are congratulating ourselves on the termination of a session of medium-oven tenn peratures, basking in a 75-de- gree atmosphere which, when stirred up a bit by a good cleo tric fan, seems reasonably fit ting to what the geographers call the temperate zone. We have agreed with all our friends that after the two pro- longed spells of blistering weather that have marked this summer to date it is inconceiv- able that the remainder of the season could have much real heat left in it. The official weather man throws discret- ion to the winds and sends out a forecast of somewhat cool er." People you meet once again are acting almost hu- man.
 And now into the midst of all this refreshing atmosphere is thrown the news that Alaska is cooking up another heat wave for us! What kind of an attitude is that? Why, if we hadn't bought that territory when We did, the people up there might be eating cabbage soup and dog biscuits under a Five Year plan. And this is the thanks we get! Nice peo- rle!
 It isn't only our personal dis comfort We are thinking about when we contemplate this re- ported Alaskan heat wave. It's bad enough from that an- gle alone, but in addition to that it messes up our whole fabric of geographical con- cepts. Where are we going to put a 100-degree temperature in mental picture of a count ry with fifty-fo'ot snow banks, polar bears, blubber-chewimg Eskimos, and homegrown ice cubes? It just can't be, done, that's all! Much as we appre- ciate the value of Alaska from

FAMOUS LAWYER REFUSES
TO CONTINUE CASE WITH
COMMUNISTSN CHARGE
new DEAL MEANS
JOBS FOR PEOPLE
WHO NEED THEM

WASHINGTON - Secretary Of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace,
candid and persuasive spokesman
of the New Deal, has attempted to
set down the essential aims Of the
governments program in a recent
book entitled New Frontiers"
In his book, which contains four
main sections, the secretary emu
merates seven principal objects of
the New Deal. The first, accord
ing to him, is a job for every one
who wants one; second, wages
high enough to leave no one in
serious want.
Other goals gwen were: hours
of labor short enough to give ev-
cry one time to enjoy life; ade-
quate insurance against unemploy-
ment and old age; perhaps, also,
against injury and sickness; COM
Portable housing at moderate cost
for all.
Sufficient planned utilization of
the land and other natural resourc-
es SO that unnecessary depletion
by erosion and similar processes
viii be avoided: maintenance of
such democratic institutions as
free speech, free criticism, and free
conscience.

Every woman knows how pr1c-
es of food have shot upwards and
we are promised further increases
in the near future. Few, however,
know that by government edict ov-
err 100000 pigs, over 100000
cattle and over 100000 ewes have
been slaughtered. This has been
done during the last year and for
the purpose of decreasing the sup
ply of meat and thus increasing
the price to us. We're all suppos-
ed to be making more money so
we can stand raised prices and not
know the difference. I'm not MAX
ing more money; are you

to slaughter fat pigs SO that fat

What People Read

that future generations will know
what the present generation Is by
what it likes TO read.
The Edwards murder case with
its strong sex element attracted
thousands Of readers. Metropoli-
tan dailies spent thousands Of dol
lars il order to satisfy the public's
appetite for the sordld and sensn-
GUS news In all Of its intricate de-
tails. And any managing editor
who refused to play it UP as big
news would have been fired, be-
cause his newspaper would have
lost circulation.

Dinner
CLUB OFFICIAL
BARS COLORED

NEW YORK Colored actors are
greatly incensed over the report
that colored actors have been bar
red from dining with the Actors
Dinner Club.
The attitude Of Gle group was
conveyed by Miss sitgraves, sec
rotary of the club, in conversa-
ton with Paul Peters, author of
Stevedore," who sought to have the
colored members of the drama dine
at one of the sessions.
On refusing to permit the col
ored actors to attend. Miss Sit
graves, in telephone conversation
is quoted as having said:
I'VE have not actu; v discrim-
mated against colored people be-
cause they automatically under
stand that we are in a difficult po-
sition. We cannot have the place
filled with colored people.
People pay one dollar per meal
here and would not want to sit
next to a colored person.
IT wouldn't go into place like
Shraft's, or anyplace like that,
where you pay one dollar for a
meal and sit next to colored per-
son. In fact no first class restaur-
ant will allow them. Now you
know that.
"I've never had them here, but
don't discriminate against them.
Furthermore, our walters are all
professional people and they work
for nothing and they wouldn't want
to wait on colored people. I would
not ask them to.
I'VE had some colored people OF
"Jezebel" come down to sing, but
Mrs. Owen Davis explained things
to them and they were very sweet
about it and left Immediately after
their performance.
"They didn't try to sit down and
eat anything. Now understand, we
don't want any controversy or un-
pleasantness about this. We don't
discriminate against colored peo-
pie but we can't have them here.
They understand that and don't
come. That's all there is to it."
The Actors Dinner Club is an
affiliate of the Stage Relief and
receives 5000 per week from that
organization.

HAS follows:
The Reception Of Mrs. DePrIest
IAN the criticism ef the recep-
ton OF Mrs. DePriest, the wife Of
the coIored Representative from
Illinois was quite unnecessary. Mrs.
Hoover had decided to invite all the
Congressional ladies to series Of
teas and the families Of the differ
emit Senators and members Of the
House were allotted to four groups
and invited accordingly, the cabin
ct ladies being asked to all parties.
The name Of Mrs. DePriest was
put aside for future consideration
when these groups were made up.
Everyone concerned realized that
it was an unusual situation. Should
Mrs. DePriest be included? The
decision was postponed, for there
was no precedent to go buy"
'sThus the four parties Of Con-
gressional ladies came and went
and Mrs DePriest was invited to
none Of them.
