SWING ONCE MORE

Once more Imperial Valley finds itself
in JAM and once more it has called on
the man who has helped it out of prev
ious difficulties, and this call, like the
others, meets with his ready response.
In joint meeting of the board of su-
pervisors, the irrigation district directors
and other county officials yesterday,
the seriousness of the situation in the
valley because of the water shortage
was faced.
The situation is serious. The officials
were told frankly by the chief engineer
for the irrigation district, who is in
position to know, that immediate steps
must be taken to prevent real danger to
life and property.
1t was decided to ask the government
to include Imperial Valley in the emer-
gency drought area recently created be-
cause of existing conditions in the mid
die west and in the far west because of
lack of rainfall.
Knowing that it requires something
more than mere asking to obtain the de-
sired result, those present decided that
somebody should go to Washington to
place the situation before the proper
officials and obtain IMMEDIATE as
sistance.
There was only one name proposed
fnll IL. owing. HIS laDOrS Tor 1mper-
ial Valley have not ended with his with
drawal from congress where he served
for five terms. Although deep in work
pertaining to San Diego's contract for
use of water from the All-American
canal, Swing, when contacted, readily
agreed to help the valley once again.
A year ago this time the valley need
ed some one to go back to Washington to
have the canal project included under
the PWA. Swing was the man. Later
someone was needed to jar loose the
$6,000000 appropriation for starting
work on the canal. Again Swing was the
man.
1t was not an empty phrase when he
stated on a visit here after he had left
congress, that he would always be ready
and willing to serve Imperial Valley at
any time. He has proved it.
In the past year there have been at
tempts by disgruntled politicians and
others to knock Swing and to belittle
his work in behalf of Imperial Valley.
They have only been indications of the
mean mentality and the warped view
point of those engaged in the knock
ing"
Phil Swing has a true concept of the
meaning of "service"-unselfish and 10y
al service. 1t cannot be comprehended
by those who seek to. serve only them
selves.

HITLER ACTS

Fighting for his political life, Adolph
Hitler is today ruling the roost in Ger
many as result of his swift and deadly
action Saturday in quelling mutiny
within the ranks of his own Nazi organ
ization.
One can disapprove of much of Hi
tiers course, but few thinking persons
will condemn him for his wholesale exc
cutions Saturday, ruthless as they ap-
pear
He was defending himself from an at
tack by men upon whose loyalty he de-
pended for his political, arsl possibly
physical existence. 1t was Hitler who
raised them from obscurity to positions
of power and influence. Grown intox-
icated with their positions they INDUCED
in the most eXtravagant eXcesSes and
sought to obtain all for themselves even
at the expense of the man who had made
them what they were.
The world is not getting all the inside
story of Saturdays debacle. There are
phases of it that no newspaper can pub
lish and continue to claim respectable
ty. immortality of particularly vicious
and bestial type has been disclosed. Hit
Ter must be given credit for snuffing it
out promptly and effectively.
True he was aware of some of the
shortcomings of his aides but ignored
them. In this he made mistake and for
it he is open to censure. By ignoring it
he countenanced depravity. Perhaps it
is not fair to him to say that he took no
action until the depraved ones turned
against him. On the surface it appears
that way.
Hitler has swung away from the radi-
cal element in the Nazi organization,
temporarily at least. If he continues to
align himself with the conservatives, his
ultimate chances of success will be en-
hanced. A return swing to the radicals
will spell his doom even though he now
finds himself stronger than ever in Ger
man affairs. He won Saturday but he
won at a great cost. He disposed of en-
emies but he created others.
The next few months promise to be
even more tempestuous for Germany than
has the past year and half. They will
decide Hitler's future

MARKET SURVIVES
TELEPHONE DROP
Lines Held Fairly Intact.
Utility Shares in New
Low Ground.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
stock market held its lines fairly in
tact today despite a further severe
decline in American Telephone.
Utility shares as a group were
forced to retreat into new low ground
for the year under a continuation OF
recent liquidation.
Leading the retreat, American Tele-
phone dipped within a fraction OF
100 and closed at lois, off 3ss. Since
the announcement Thursday of a
Federal inquiry into the affairs of
the telephone giant, which boasts of
nearly 100000 shareholders-a record
for corporations-the stock has lost
more than 10 points.
Among power issues, Consolidated
Gas, Public Service of New Jersey and
North American set minimum price
p marks for the year or longer.
Aggravated by Dividends.
Nervousness of telephone share
holders was aggravated by the ap-
proach of the company's dividend
meeting next Wednesday and a
charge by Milo R. Maltbie, head OF
the New York State Public Utilities
Commission, that the parent organi-
cation had written up the book value
Of two New York properties by nearly
$4,000,000.
Aside from utilities, the share list

tested an urge to do better. Aviation
issues again were in brisk demand
but gains of United Aircraft, Aviation
Corp. and other members of the
group were only fractional.
Such issues as United States Steel

Evening star., 1934-11-18

Motors, Santa Fe and J. I. Case held
to narrow groove.
Trading was rather brisk for a Sat-
urday session, transfers totaling
453 ,370 shares. The Standard Statis-
tics Co. average for 80 stocks slipped
three-tenths of point to 72.6.
Jog-Along Tendency.
In most markets the usual week
end tendency to jog along quietly was
apparent. In the bond division the
spotlight remained on United States
Governments, which recorded addi-
tional moderate gains. Commodities
we're mixed. Wheat closed unchanged
to q of cent bushel higher. Corn
advanced 1s to Us cents, but cotton
Sagged 10 to 20 cents bale.
Bullish views in speculative quar-
ters derived more nourishment from
the move by business interests to CO.
operate with the administration in a
recovery program and from a return
of confidence in the position of the
European gold bloc. The French franc
recovered further, although 1t was
still at point which made additional
gold imports possible.
Business Curve Upward.
Steel reports joined with other in
dications, notably the sustained de-
mand for goods at retail, that the
business curve was pointing upward.
Traders displayed new interest in
building shares as result of the F. w.
Dodge Corps October figures, disclos-
ing a gain of nearly SO per cent in
the contract value of residential
building compared with September
and of 20 per cent compared with
October, 1888.
Congoleum climbed a point to the
top price recorded this year. Spiegel-

set a new 1884 mark above 10 and
closed up point. Best. Bullard. May
Department Stores, Neisner Bros. and
Loew's were lifted a point or more by
selective buying, characteristic of the
recent demand for stocks.

IT'S A RACKET, TOO

With the advent of spring may be expected the
annual invasion of high-pressure house-to-house
canvassers intent upon pushing their respective
wares of one kind and another, virtually all OF
which when so sold command price considerably
in excess of their real value. Some will be con-
tent with their takings gained by quiet personal
solicitations; others will seek to enlist the aid OF
civic organizations in pedling lot of stuff that
can be bought more cheaply from any retailer in
town.
Brief consideration of the factors involved IN
such merchandising should suffice to convince
anyone of ordinary intelligence that the selling
costs must necessarily be greater than when like
or identical goods are sold across the counter
through long-established merchandising channels
Yet few of us stop to think when subjected to q
craftily-conceived selling talk designed to break
down "sales resistance and all too many of us
sign on the dotted line, agreeing to pay fancy
price for something that we do not greatly neec
and which, if we do need it, we can get for less
money from our local dealers.-The Lenoir News
Topic.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1934-03-12

a payroll must be paid living wage, and II the
employer cannot receive full value in return, he
cannot expect to stay in business very long. If ne
tries to shoulder the load he merely hastens bank
ruptcy, and all his employees will be without even
the 80 hours of work.
During the boom years from 1920 to 1880 mil
lions of and women left the farms of the
country and came to the cities to live. They be-
came firmly entrenched in their new homes before
the depression came and for that reason it would
not be pleasant for these folks to go back to the
farm and in many cases, it would not be practical
for these same folks to go back However; it is not
right to expect business and industry to absorb
those folks who should be on the farm. For that
reason, a back-to-the-farm movement should be en-
couraged and promoted rather than the 3O-hour
week.-Stanly News and Press.

ONE socIAL1sr1c SCHEME STOPPED

The plan to embark the United States in the
furniture manufacturing business received a set
back in the House after it had passed the Senate
by small majority The bill was backed by Mrs,
Roosevelt, with the approval of the President, and
this of course gave it more strength than it would
have had otherwise. Mrs Roosevelt's reason for
supporting the furniture factory plan was to fur
nish employment for some destitute coal miners in
West Virginia.
There are many people in this country who see
no fault in the U. S. governments going into the
furniture business or any other sort of business.
In fact, the government is already engaged in
some kinds of business in competition with tax
payers 1t has been competing directly with print
ers for many years for instance. Thanks to Sena-
tor Norris and other so-called progresslves 1t IS
about to 90 into the fertilizer and electric power
business on very large scale. 1t seems little
strange that after swallowing as many radical
doses as it has that congress baked on Mrs Roose-
velt's little furniture factory. Maybe it is trying
to do better-Beaufort News.

THE CWA CUTS LOOSE

Several thousand people, formerly given en-
ployment by the CWA in North Carolina, have
been turned loose and are on their own initiative
again.
The comment of one of these workers was le-
layed to US few days ago.
81 don't care whether get job or not" he is
reported as having said. eff l can find work
OK; if 1 can't find work, l reckon the govern
ment will look out for me again."
1t is in that kind of an attitude that the real
danger of government aid lies. There is ques,
ton but that federal assistance was necessary IN
the emergency through which we have just passed
but every effort should be made to put people back
upon their own resources again. Once habit like
this is formed, it is extremely difficult to lose it
| Unquestionably there many of those who were
given aid through the CWA who feel about the
entire proposition exactly does the individual
whom we have quoted above.-The State.

MORE WORKERS AT HAYNE

The gratifying news was received in the city
yesterday that 400 men are employed at Southern
Railway shops at Hayne, 80 men having recently
been added to the payroll 1t is said that the num-
Der of employees is greater now than it has been
since 1929. Most of the new men are skilled work
ers and that means something for the merchants
and other business men of the city.
Since the first of the year many railroad shops
have made large additions to their working forces,
an indication that the railroads feel confident
of the future and are preparing to salvage the
rolling stock which has been out of service for
several years-Spartanburg Herald.
