SANITY SAVES YOUTHS

federal relief agencies seem to have made
l. genuine progress in the direction of
cleaning up one of the depression's worst Iega-
cies-the presence on the highways of hun
dreds of thousands of homeless young tramps.
Last year. according to estimates, fully MALT
a million youngsters were on the bum-dis-
couraged and sullen boys and girls. always
hungry and hopeless, prolific breeding
ground for vice. disease and crime.
Today there are 200 camps and $50 city
shelters in operation to reclaim these young
people. Fully s2OOOOOOO has been spent on
this job More than 100000 rowing transents
are being cared for. given work, and helped
back toward hope and self-respect.
The youthful tramp is still a problem, of
course But sane solution OF the problem
is a good deal nearer than it was year ago.

THINKS CHIEF SHOULD
KNOW GAMBLING DIVES
By Do Tell.

By Do Tell.
So Chief Mike Morrissey plans to
do something about slot machines!
The chief should know how to go
about it! He was head Of the de-
partment's gambling squad before
he became chief. He should know
where all the "jernts' are.
He, it is known, visited practical
ly every poker layout, pony parlor,
dice dump, in the city while head
Of the gambling squad.
But that was away back when,
and now the chief sits in his office
and lets George do it." George or
whoever he may be, isn't doing it.
Gambling bars are down and have
been down since Mr.. Morrissey be-
came chief. When first taking the
chiefs chair, he threatened TO
cleanup" the town.
Big-shot gamblers trembled-
maybe. Sporadic raids lasted long
enough to inaugurate the chiefs
regime and firmly implant him in
his swivel chair. Then-no more
raids.

By Capitalist.
All the biologists in the world
for capitalism can not save that
system unless the system makes
good in delivering to all classes of
people an abundant living. If
capitalism intends to perpetuate
scarcity of goods and to withhold
even the simple conveniences from
the millions of unemployed and
those people who are forced to
take small wages, then capitalists
will be forced finally to fight for
their own economic lives. Riches
for a few and poverty for the
workers means a final death
struggle for capitalism. This in
eVitable.
Can capitalism really be made
to function so that rich living
will be possible for all producers?
That is yet to be proved. Ger
tainly it can not be zone with the
existing formula in the present
day practice of capitalism. Our
present conception OF production
of goods is on the basis of pro
ducers' profit" rather than on
consumers service" The wreck
ing of consumer interest means
the ultimate destruction of pro-
ducer profit. The sole justifica-
ton of any social order is its Serv-
ice to human life. When this
service fails, the system must go.
If this system denies to the con-
sumner the means to take off the
market the goods created or that
can be created, then a change in
the system must be made.
If the credits in the form of
money, necessary to obtain the

of some of the hottest dice spots in
the town. One notorious gambler
has moved back to an old hangout.
Police sergeants enter these gaming
resorts and after giving the place
the eye, walk out.
But in We olden times when the
chief was on his toes and one of the
city's raiders, the spots were differ
ent-even the dice spots of the city.
The mention of Morrissey's name
brought curses. His manner was
described as ''high-handed." He
would raid places in a spectacular
fashion, willy-nilly, without regard
for search and seizure. He broke up
many a gambling layout merely by
driving customers away from the
doors.

LAUDS FORESIGHT OF
RUSSIAN FARMERS

By Observer.
The administration is confronted
with a gigantic problem in the west
and middle west by the devastation
wrought by drought. The drought
reached around the world, soaring
China, Russia, middle Europe and
America.
The Russians anticipated the
drought and prepared six-toot
trenches around their farms last fall
to hold the snow which fell on their
ground to get moisture below instead
of letting it go to the rivers and
out to the sea. Their crops had
practically no rain since planting
time. but the moisture from below
has fed the crops so that the yield
will be even larger than last year
Yet some would call the Russians
dumb" Contrast that with the
disaster on our own soil A little
"dumbness" like that might have
saved our own crops and disaster
to a million Of farm homes in the
west.

enlighten him. He would be sitting
down on charity as he probably was
before the CWA was organized. He
works now for wages enough for
the necessities of life. BY being
given the opportunity to earn a liv-'
ing, he keeps up the morale Of
the real American, whereas he loses
self-respect when he is given char
ity. With some Of these men, how
ever, nothing is left to lose, I re-
gret to say, and they have a chronic
grief with life in general, even
though given a chance to support
their families at the expense of the
government and taX-paying public.
BY this time he probably looks on
his CWA work as a career. I've no
doubt that if the wages were higher,
several such types of men would
do so. CWA work is for emergency
relief, and not lifetime job. The
hours are short enough to permit
the workers to seek other employ
ment in their spare time. Needless
to say, quite a few CWA workers
today are making a higher scale,
per hour, practically the same
wages, more leisure and more steady
employment than on some of the
"old shuttle" jobs they used to get.
Now, aren't you?

SOUTH TALBOT STREET
NEEDS LIGHTS, is HINT
By Mark Tempo.

By Mark Tempo.
South Talbot street is a residential
street. 1t begins at Morris street and
continues to the Belt railroad in the
daytime At night it may as well
be nonexistent. If you have a
search-hght or are well accustomed
to finding your way about like some
night craWler or cockroach it is
possible you will find South Talbot
street
True there are occasional lights
which CLEAN like fireflies, much to
the delight OF the South Talbotters.
Then, too, occasional automobiles
startle the gloom with bright shafts
Of light. Most people smoke on Tall
bot street at night. 1t is a good way
to keep from humping into each
other on the sidewalks.

I can't help but feel a deep pang
at the unappreciative attitude Of the
CWA worker whose letter appeared
in the Message Center on Aug. 10.
He sees no difference under the
New Deal" He quotes prices OF
several commodities Of a year ago
together with his eva wages and
compares it with today. With food
prices higher and CWA wages lower,
he figures he has quite a labor

He says sarcastically that 1T sure

Margaret Sanger Says They Know How to

Paris. Sept 7-(UP)-Margaret Sanger, who believes there should be fewer children almost every where in the world, returned to Paris today from Russia with the idea that birth control should not extend to the Soviet republics.
 She will sail tomorrow for the United States, with a determina- tion to renew her campaign for the distribution of contraceptive infor- nation, but with certain modified tions of her ideas.
 In Russia, she pointed out, in- fant mortality has been reduced to a proportion of one in 20;000. She said that Russian children are un- der the medical supervision of the state until they are six years old and that the government also per- mits a strictly supervised form of birth control.

SCANDAL SHEET
 EDITOR KILLED
Head Was Almost Blown
 Off--POlice Are Seek ing Some Clues

Minneapolis, Sep 7.-(UP)- Police scanned hundreds of names in the scandal filled files of the Pink Sheet and Saturday Press" today in search of a clue to. the gunmen who last night killed Howard Guilford, former editor of both papers. Guilford was shot by one of two or three men in an automobile which crowded his car to the curb in a residential district. A shotgun charge almost blew his head from his body.
 Seven years ago Guilford gained national notice in a fight against suppression of the Saturday Press, which specialized in sensational gossip stories, under the Minnesota "gag" law. The law was declared unconstitutional by the United States supreme court. He was shot once before by unidentified gum men, suffering wounds from which he never fully recovered. Police said they believed both attacks may have been inspired by a vic- tim of his prying pen.

Relief WU Be Giuen
 Needy Coming Winter
But Those Not Really in Want Will Be Needed Out; All States Too Must Do Their Own Part
 to Help Relief Plans

Washington, Sept 7-(UP) )--Un- confirmed reports from the mid- west that the federal government might decide to relieve the indi- vadual states of the burden of car ing for the unemployed brought from Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins today the statement that we will do whatever is ne cessary" to meet conditions.
 He said no consideration had been given yet to restoration of the civil works administration this winter to provide relief, but de- clined to commnet directly on new plans for centralizing the nations relief program. Hopkins remark about doing whatever is neces- sary'' was construed in some quar- ters to mean that new relief pro- gram was in the making, Added impetus was given to this as a re- suit of the recent visit to Hyde Park, N. Y. by Hopkins and May or Fiorello La Guardia of New York, where relief questions were discussed with the president.

 To Hold Conference
 Inspector John Heffernan of the state labor department visited Wa tertown this afternoon and con ferred with both MT Fleisher and the strikers. Strike leaders told him that they plan a conference with representative of the Amer'- can Federation of Labor tonight and may join a union. MT Fleisher informed him that the 10 per cent raise was his final offer and that the Princeton company will make no further concessions.
 The state policemen were sum- moned by First Selectman s. Me- Lean Buckingham. The latter could not be reached this after noon to give his reasons for calling in the troopers. Two Watertown policemen were on duty with the two state officers.

MAYOR HAYES TO GO MUCH HIGHER
 IN STATE LIFE
Whether Party Wins or Not He Will Be Candi=
 date for Governor

Whether the democratic party wins or loses, in the coming state election, Mayor Frank Hayes of this city, by virtue of his nomina- ton yesterday at the sttaei conven- tion in Eastern Point, Groton, for the post of lieutenant-governo is practically assured of the guber- material position on the ticket two years hence, according to opinions expressed last night and today by leaders of the party. Mayor Hayes today was making preparations to attend a gathering of party leaders at which the campaign plans will be outlined.
 Although Governor Cross was named yesterday to head the state ticket for the third consecutive time. those attempting to make predictions two years ahead of time were confident that he will not seek the gubernatorial post in 1936. This will leave the place clear for Mayor Hayes.
 Old Guard Grows Strong
 In view of the fact that the old guard of which Mayor Hayes is d member has already made much headway in its drive to regain control of the party in Connecticut 1t is an assured fact. it is claimed. that he will be nominated for governor at the state convention two years hence.
 The naming of the local mayor for the post of lieutenant- nor yesterday is considered a "build-up" nomination with the ultimate nomination for him for governor as the ultimate goal.
 Mayor Hayes showed great pop nlarity at the convention yesterday. When his name was placed before the state convention for the post of lieutenant-governor by Con- troller Daniel J. Leary of this city. the applause was very great. Mayor Hayes is considered an asset to the fCanfipnod nn pooa

 Washington, Sept 7.(UP)--Be- ment salesman at last years Montevideo Economic Conference may bring Secretary Of State Cordell Hull and other high gov- ernment officials before the senate munitions committee, it was indi- cated today.
 Committee Chairman Gerald P. Nye, r, N. D., said he believed Hull would welcome an opportunity" to testify about munitions makers efforts to sell arms while confer ence delegates discussed means of bringing. peace to South Amer ican nations.
 Investigators obtained evidence that high pressure sales tactics were used by armament companies to obtain profitable orders from Montevideo conferees. However, it was learned that most of the negotiations failed.
 Committeeman studied dozen sensational letters between officers of an American build ing company which told of lobby ing activities in congress, special favors from the navy departmen. and entertainment programs for U. s. naval officers and foreign diplomats interested in munitions purchase.
 The correspondence, which brought smiles and frowns from witnesses, originated with s. J. Joyner, vice-president of the Elec- tric Boat company of Groton, Conn, in charge of Washington ac- tivities. Although he once wrote Sir Basil Zaharoff, Europe's "mys-
