of Congress-

OUR fight for Unemployment In
" surance is beginning to show
results.
The issue which all practical
politicians treated with bitter hos
tility or good-humored contempt
only year and two years ago, has
now become the major issue. Con-
gressmen who used to rack their
brains for some way in which they
could safely straddle the prohibi-
ton issue, are now beginning to
seek for some way of capturing the
vote of the constantly growing
masses who demand unemployment
insurance.
This is indicated and admitted in
many ways and by reports from
Washington. Thus, the New York
World-Telegrarn of May 9, carries
a story by staff writer who points
out that Candidates for reelection
this fall have begun to worry be-
cause the years legislative record
contains nothing to appeal particu-
larly to wage-earners. The Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill seems to be
their answer" This, in the opinion
Of the World Telegram writer,
means that the Wagner-Lewis bill
is almost certain to pass"
AS further proof that this fake
unemployment insurance bill is "the
answer" and is almost sure to pass,
the writer of this story, who is one
of the most faithful propagandists
for Roosevelt's New Deal" points
out that: 1T is Endorsed by the
American Federation Of Labor. 9.
1t is strongly Endorsed by the ad-
ministration (Roosevelt). The prin-
ciple of unemployment insurance
has Just been approved by Henry I.
Hartman, president Of the Cham
Der of Commerce and no particular
opposition to the pending measure
(Wagner-Lewis) was voiced at the
recent Chamber meeting. The
League of Women Voters has
put unemployment insurance at the
head Of its program for immediate
action. A recent poll of clergymen
showed SO per cent favoring it."
Those who wonder how the admin
stration. the Chamber of Commerce,
the misleaders of the A, F. of L.,
ETC., were won over for "unemploy-
ment insurance" can find the an
swer in the final paragraph of the
aforementioned article, which de-
scribes the bill on which such a
broad" united front has been es-
tablished. Says Miss Ruth Finney
Ghe correspondent: THE Wagner
Lewis Bill does not establish fed

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. UP
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh told the
federal air board today that its
most important problem was TO

The colonel, testifying before the
board which is to d y;ide upon fed

that several aviation leaders were

governmental fiat was disastrous
to morale. He indicated that the

BURNHAM MAKES GOOD

Based on his excellent record during
his first term in congress, the people of
the twentieth California district, which
includes San Diego and Imperial coun-
ties will be showing wisdom by return
ing to office George Burnham, candidate
for reelection from this district.
High commendation from congresslon-
al leaders, both Republicans and Demo-
cratic, as we'll as warm words OF praise
directly from the administration, have
placed the stamp of approval on Con-
gressman Burnham's work.
Imperial Valley is particularly inter-
ested in his work in agricultural leglsla-
ton and recalls that he obtained rein
statement of the important federal state
market news service, after appropriation
for it had once been removed from the
budget, that he sought and obtained con-
tinuance of tax on flax to protect the
local crop, that he secured continuance
of the experimental station at Bard and
lent his support in obtaining the appro-
priation of S6,000,000 for the All-Amer-
lean canal.
Supporting the Presidents economy
bill by his vote, as did many Democratic
congressman, Burnham quickly recog-
nized the injustice this act did to de-
serving disabled eX-servicemen and voted
for reinstatement of veterans Dement'S
in the independent office bill rider,
which repaired the damage which had
been done by the economy bill.
Congressman Burnham stated on his
return from the capital this past sum-
mer that his first term had taught MN
that friendship counts as much as polltl-
cal affiliation in getting things done IN
Washington. Frequent visits to the cap
ital long before he ever thought OF be-
coming a candidate for congress, had
built up fer him a wide circle of friends
influential in government affairs and as
a congressman he found this same friend
ship was extended to him.
He has been a close friend OF Presl-
dent Roosevelt's since the days when the
latter was assistant secretary of the
navy and Burnham was active on work
connected with the San Diego naval base.
The friendship that existed years ago was
strengthened during the last session of
congress when Congressman Burnham
was a frequent business visitor at the
White House, on several occasions taking
matters in which he was interested up dl-
rectly with the President.
Congress functions largely on the basis
of seniority A district which sends
new representative every term, or which
acquires a reputation for frequent shift
ing of its congressman, has difficulty IN
getting favorable action on legislation IN
which it is interested.

Bandits Loot
City Treasury

BROCKTON, Mass, Oct. 16. U.P)
Three bandits held up the city
treasurer in his office at city hall
today and escaped with $12,8l1.
City hall is opposite police head
quarters.
The robbery was engineered
swiftly without the firing of shot.
The bandits escaped in an automo-
bile with a confederate.
The loot was in cash.
One bandit, clad in overalls and
posing as a plumber, entered the
office through the office of Chester
Swanson, city auditor He was join
ed by his two confederates, also
roughly dressed.
The bandits walked behind q
counter and took the payroll money
from a safe.
Cowed by guns, the holdup vic
tins dared not touch a buzzer, al
most within reach, which would
have sounded an alarm to police
headquarters across the street.
AS the robbers we're gathering
the loot, a girl employee in the city
clerks office, directly across the
corridor, saw what was happening
and telephoned police.
SO swiftly did the raiders work
that they were safely away before
officers could intercept them. The
car sped eastward toward Boston.
