SMALLER CIRCUITS CLING TO GAMES
 BENEATH LIGHTS

KANSAS CITY, July 27-Less popular among the highranking minor leagues than a season or two ago, night baseball has entered it's fifth year with plenty of clubs in mediums sized cities still counted among its adherents.
 The first game of organized base ball played at night, a Kansas City sports historian records, was a contest at Independence, Kas., April 28, 193O, between the Inde- pendence and Muskogee, Okla. teams of the Western association.
 About 1000 fans witnessed the game, won by Muskogee, 13 to 3, while the home team was commit ting nine rerors.
 The late Marvin L. Truby, "an- gel' of baseball in Independence for many years, is generally cred tied with fathering the introduo tion of baseball under lights. Lee Keyser later installed in Des Moines for his Western league club the first high-powered lighting system for night baseball. s'
 Still later the idea spread to such circuits as the American As sociation, Pacific Coast League and International League, all class A loops. Teams in these leagues however, play only limited night schedules.

RICHBERC MAY NOT RETURN TO
 MIRA POSITION
Youthful Legal Advise r Might Get Job Sitting
 New Deal This Fall
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Whi Q considerable mystery continues to envelop just what the President had in mind when he named Don aid R. Richberg, NRA General Counsel, as coordinator of the var ious emergency relief activities dur ing the summer. many observers believe one thing is certain.
 It is doubtful if the youthful, eloquent and diplomatic legal ad- wiser for NRA will return to his old post in the fall,
 Although granted leave of ab- sence from NRA until September l, it is thought MT. Roosevelt has other plans for Richberg in the fu- ture. The best guess seems to be that his duties will be in the field of planning for retention of those phases of the new deal" deemed worthy of being made permanent.
 In his new job, Richberg will have opportunity to view the whole machinery of recovery in broad outline and not simply from the standpoint of NRA.
 This experience, plus the ability he has demonstrated already as on, of the key men of NRA should make him doubly valuable to the Administration in the working out of its plans in the future.

TWO BIG WORRIES

While Washington doubles the pressure for unemployment of men and dollars, two worries are never out of mind.
 One is agriculture unrest, to which will be applied the remedy of even greater spending during the summer and fall.
 The other is the constantly re- curing threat of large-scale la bor trouble. The new Labor Board is intended to provide the safety valve for that. The endeavors of no other recovery agency will be watched more prayerfully by Wash ington.

CHASING IDLE MONEY

The task of getting the money out of hiding, into the channels of trade, has proved the most stubborn of the recovery problems.
 MT. Hoover sought to master it through various credit agencies. MT. Roosevelt has intensified that effort. and Congress now has add ed the leverage of strongly per- suasive legislation.
 Under the credit expansion act, the Government has gone into partnership with the reserve banks in lending. A Aforementioned clause in the Tax Revision Act puts penalty on idle corpora tion surpluses. The Housing Act, by insuring loans for home inn

BREATHING SPELL HERE

Everything points to the quletest period from now until September the national capital has exper- fenced since President Roosevelt entered the White House on March 4, 1928.
 It begins to appear as If that i. long-waited breathing spell" for both the capital and the nation is to become reality. So far as is known no new policies are to be initiated until the Presidents return from his vacation cruise. The whole governmental setup ap- rarently will rock along in easy fashion until the last of August.
 MT. Roosevelt has passed out the word to his aides to take it easy politically. There1l be several of them touring the country during the next few weeks making speech es in behalf of the new deal but renewal of the feverish ac- tivity which has characterized the past months is not expected.
 It probably won't be until the U. S. S. Houston docks in Seattle some time in August and lands it's distinguished passenger that things will start really humming once more.

 The Housing program will be the main reliance of the re-em- ployment drive.

 MT. Moffett is rated as an ex- perienced business executive, not dreAmer. Presuming he is ser ious about his statistics, the hous- ing venture must take rank at once as one of the most arnbi- tious of the recovery program.

TELLING HIS CONSTITUENTS

 To 33-year- old Thomas O'Malley of Wisconsin, a first-termer in the House, probably goes the distinc- tion of thinking up the most novel method of acquainting his con- stituents of what he did in their behalf in the Seventy-Third Con- gress in neffort to convince them to keep him in for another term.
 The youthful and earnest MT. OMalley consumed some eigh pages in the Congressional Record just before adjournment in mak- ing out his case.
 He listed every vote he cast and gave in detail the reasons why he voted as he did He went back through past issues of the Record picked out those instances where he participated in debate on the floor or made a speech and set them forth in detail.

LITTLE BOYS AND GIRLS

Charges Of kidnapping by unknown per-
sons, have been made by Alexander IT.
vine, lecturer fer the American Civil Lib
critics Union, who asserts he and his
niece were kidnapped Sunday night en-
route from CaleNieo to Ell Centre.
The charge is flatly denied by peace
officers and leading citizens of the coun-
ty, who assert that the kidnapping exist
ed only in the imagination of a badly
scared group Of agitators who came 10 the
valley to make trouble and were not al
lowed to do it.
We have the unsupported word of Mr..
Irvine and his niece that a kidnapping
took place. We have also the flat de-
NAL Of men whom we have known for
years and in whose integrity we have
faith, that there was no kidnapping. I'm
til better proof of a kidnapping is given
Us, we will take the word of men whom
We know rather than that of stranger.
We hold no brief for any kidnaper, no
matter what misguided ideas of right
his liberty. While on this subject it
might not be amiss to issue word of
caution to any who might have kidnap-
ing ideas in their minds. The new Cali
fornia law is very strict on kidnapping.
One need only deprive another of his lib
erty for few seconds, or transport him
a distance of a few feet, to make the Of
fender liable to the death penalty.
Neither do we hold any brief for trou-
bic makers who come to Imperial Valley
solely for the purpose of stirring up agi-
tation. They accomplish no good and
their misguided efforts result only in dis
rupting the peace and quiet of this COM
munity.
Their inconsistency is shown in their
attitude toward the police and the news
papers. They denounce the former as
being bullies and thugs and the latter as
being "capitalistic.' Yet when they get
into trouble or imagine they are in trou-
bic, they are quick to run to the police
for protection and to the newspapers so
that their stories may be given to the
world. Sundays alleged kidnapping was
known to newspapers on the coast before
it was known generally in the valley and
no valley newspaper correspondents sent
out the first story. It is obvious where
it came from.
Little boys and girls like to tell wild
yarns and when the telling gets them in
to trouble they run for protection to
avoid the results of their own imagina-
tions. Sunday nights affair was splen-
did example of little boys and little
girls" playing game of bogey man
which eventually scares them into con-
