IT'S LOVE IN BLOOM
AS PRISONERS SONG

By United Press
JOLIET, Ill, Sept. 21.-Guard
Captain James Carpenter, passing
the fibre shop of the old state
prison, heard two husky voices
raised in song.
Inside convicts r. King and Dan
Mozinski were grooming Love IN
Bloom"
After each chorus they adj
journed to nearby storeroom.
Carpenter shifted.
Could it be the trees that filled
the breeze with rare and magic
perfume?
mo, it isn't the trees; it's love
in bloom" warbled the convicts.
Carpenter shifted again and fol-
lowed the scent. In the storeroom
he found a home made still and
a gallon of moonshine. The con-
victs lay unconscious on the floor.
Revived with a stomach pump,
they were placed in solitary con-
f1nement for 80 days.

The question recently has been
the subject of several secret con-
ferences within the high COM
mand.
The war department. through
the agency of the national guard
bureau, has supervisory authority
over the militia. 1t supplies uni
forms and equipment, has charge
of training enlisted personnel and
schooling of the officers.
For this purpose the last con-
gress allotted $35,000,000.
But beyond this scope the de-
partment has no control over state
troops.
TINE forty-eight Governors prac-
Il tically have unlimited power
over them.
They can call them into Serv-
ice as Huey has done to combat a
political foe: or, as Georgia's
Governor, Gene Talmadge, did
last year, to GUST defiant state Of
ficials he wanted to get rid Of. Or,
as has been done in more than a
score of states recently. they can
be called out in industrial strug-
giles.
War Secretary Dern makes no
secret of the fact that in many
cases he thinks state troops are
called out needlessly.
The army would like nothing
better than to get greater measure
OF control over the national guard.
But the problem is how to do so.
Such a proposal would be certain
to stir up a hornets nest of fierce
opposition from state officials.
"TITH every other govern
w ment department getting
a PWA grant for new home, the
Navy department decided it ought
to have one, and while grizzled
old Secretary Swanson was vaca-
tioning in Virginia the admirals
fixed the whole thing up.

plan was laid before him with
eloquent ceremonies. Members of

Several months ago the adj
ministration thought it had found
third way of handling the sit
uation. Now it is not so sure,
though it has not abandoned the
idea by any means.
For some time the relief admin
istration has been purchasing
agricultural SURPRISES and dis
tributing them to the needy, in
stead of cash. This policy attacks
both farms and relief problems at
the same time. 1t rediStributes
excess food supplies to the benefit
of those who grow them and those
who receive them. AAA funds,
obtained from processing taxes
rather than from income or cor
poration taxes have covered a
large part of the cost.
Recently, however, retailers have
begun to protest. They say that

MEAT, butter, cheese and rice

quantities this summer and will
be given to the needy unless the
administration needs the retailers
complaints and alters its relief
program.
Hides from cattle purchased as
a drought emergency measure are
being made into shoes in private
plants which bid for the work and
which are allowed a profit on it,
but shoe retailers lost the bust
ness they might obtain if needy
families were given cash or if re-
lief agencies made large purchases
for them.

prizes. The capital prize would be $4,000 and the
total distribution to winners would amount to only
S55O,000 on two drawings year But these are mere
figures and may be revised sharply upward as the
receipts roll in. The statesmen who devised the
scheme seem to have underestimate the sporting
spirit of their feow-citizens in all respects In the
first place, the lottery customer even though he is
spending his last dollar ticket, will think of
$4,000 as minor prize in big lottery He has read
IN recent years of many awards of $4,000 in the

big horse races the other side and if his memory
goes back ten years he recalls even mbre fabulous
winnings which were handed over to bar-maids and
coal miners in the great days of the Calcutta and

would be likely to regard $4,000 as a mere consoa-
ton prize. The authors of the New York plan can
not claim to have made very careful examination

there is economic justification for the
