BUILDERS AND WRECKERS

THE tragic part of this picture" said
u Senator Hugo Black, speaking of the air
mail scandals, lis that Investigations recently
have revealed that these huge governmental
expenditures have in great part found their
way into pockets of profteers stock manipu-
lators political and financial groups who never

This will surprise those who do not remem-
Der the railroad precedent Many of the big
railroad builders were ruthless and unscrupu-
lous, some were outright raScals. The roads
we're strewn with such scandals as the wreck
ing of the Erie empire by Uncle Dan1 Drew,
Jubilee Jim Fisk and Jay Gould, the debauch-
ing of a congress by the Union Pacifc's

In spite of the Wall Street engineers, how

WHEN GANGSTERS TALK

THE most interesting thing about the Fac
tor kidnapping trial in Chicago is the fact
that two gangsters. alleged to have been
members of the mob which was accused OF
kidnapping Factor, turned states evidence and
testified against their former pals
Here we have something relatively new in
gangster trials; and if we take it as an omen,
it is an uncommonly encouraging one
The great obstacle in the way OF prosecu-
ton of gangsters has been the fact that men,
bers of the underworld won't talk. In the
past. gangsters always have been able to force
observance of their code-no squealing-on
one another.
But in this case it didn't work. Two of the
gangsters decided to talk. If that happens
many times in the future, the job of getting
our known criminals behind the bars ought
to be UNNECESSARILY easier

as large as the human character
itself. 1t also has the color and
lights and romance necessary to sus-
tain the needed natural interest.
1t SO hapepns that the dramatic
situation today is almost chaos. Due
to this condition, and similar con-
ditions, a great percentage Of nor
NAL but sensitive or expressive types
Of persons become radical. Crime
and disorder increase.
Now, by merely organizing this
situation, and providing a climax to
the whole, a different story results.
An individual is allowed contact,
encouragement, experience, and a
graduated pathway to the top of his
field which does not now exist for
him. A community spirit is boosted,
unified, and activity increased with
a better status of entertainment.
Because of this cooperative or
ganization, which, by the way. is in
the form Of a city circuit Of civic
centers, or a guild by each group
spends its effort toward one good
program.
Since this work has the funda-
mentals Of good citizenship as its
base. it makes normal citizens out Of
the more radical ones and aids in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-02-28

Our present culture has so
arranged things that two-thirds
of their time is spent in idleness.
Thousands of normal, active in
dividuals are left wholly without
occupation during the best period
of their lives. They can make no
contribution either to their homes
or to their country because they
are expected to sit tWiddling their
thumbs until death overtakes
them.
1t can be assumed that men
understand the deadly effects Of
mental boredom. Therefore, it
remains one Of the major
stupidities of the twentieth
century that We should permit so
many middle-aged American
women to endure enforced idle
ness.
We had dollar a year men
during the war against Germany.
Why not dollar a year women
during the war against depres-
sion? Their services, properly
directed toward social betterment
in their own communities, would
be a tremendous help to progress.
They are seasoned, well rounded,
conservative and intelligent in
dividualS. A sane, careful govern
ment should conscript them.

MEAT AND MILK

TRICKERY among milk distributors and
unfair trade practices among the meat
packers will be eliminated if Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace has his way. With char
acteristic vigor he has instituted complaint
against the packers trust and has an
nounced that milk chiseling will not be per-
mitted
These are not extraneous actions unre-
lated to his agricultural program. They are,
indeed, integral parts of it.
Secretary Wallace's first and biggest job is
to raise farm prices. In doing so, under the
agricultural adjustment act he is ordered to
protect consumers. Farm prices depend in
part upon the machinery through which the
commodities are marketed. Retail prices have
a similar relationship to these operations. If
marketing machinery is fairly run, the effort
to raise farm prices and to protect consumers
will be that much easier.
This applies also to grain and cotton 1t
was in the interest of securing fair marketing
methods that the secretary insisted upon strict
federal regulation of the grain and cotton
markets.
The livestock and dairying problems have
been the most difficult confronting triple A.
In seeking solutions, the secretary deserves
the support of the country.

CRIME CONTROL AND ARRESTS

EEW Americans are apt to quarrel with
l. Attorney General Homer Cummings plea
that broad powers be given the federal gov
eminent to move against gangsters, kidnapers,
racketeers and other criminals.
The offensive against organized crime,
somehow or other, has taken on new life in
recent months. A nation that looked on its
crime record with more or less complacency
for long time seems at least to be deter
mined to do something about it.
The program suggested by Mr.. Cummings
probably will meet sympathetic reception.
But it is worth remembering that such
program, in itself isn't nearly enough.
We need to broaden our powers to catch
criminals. surely; but We also need-and we
need it very badly-to do something effec-
tive about the problem of handling them
after we have caught them.
The best crime detection service in the
world can be no stronger, in the last analysis,
than the criminal court into which it feeds its
products.
And it would take very great optimist to
saw that our criminal courts today are any
where nearly as effective as they ought to be.
The American criminal court is cursed by
many things by archaic rules OF procedure
which give the criminal all the breaks; by
politically minded judges, who periodically
must run for reelection; by jury system
which too frequently keeps of the panel any
man who is aware even moderately OF what
is going on in the world about him; by vast
horde of unscrupulous attorneys who will stop
at nothing to get their clients of, and whose
only question. when a case is offered them, is
How much is there in it?'
If we had the best federal and municipal
notice systems on earth, we still would come
I'D against this criminal court barrier.
We still would find smart lawyers inter-
posing delay after delay between arrest and
trial. until the case against the criminal COL
lapsed of its own weight. We still would ind
Judges granting continuance after contln-
uance to defendants who had an in"
We still would find the machinery of pa
roles and suspended sentences being perverted

HONORING THE ENEMY!

THE ways of a statesman sometimes are a
trifle hard to figure out Austr1a's Chan
cellor Dollfuss seems to be the latest to con-
tribute riddle of statesmanlke behavior.
Trying to patch up the wounds which he
helped to inflict on his tortured country, the
chancellor the other day pleaded for national
harmony and remarked that I'VE can not
but respect the bravery of the Socialists and
their loyalty to their ideals" And, he added,
I'VE must do all we can to heal the open
wounds"
Yet, on the same day, he hanged another
Socialist leader, sentenced two more to life
imprisonment, padlocked all Socialist book
stores, and saw to it that all Socialist news
papers were removed from circulation.
AS a method of healing open wounds and
showing respect for the bravery Of ones OPP
ponents, this would seem to be almost unique.

MARION VETERANS

MULCTING insane men out of their slim
w estates seems to us to be the absolute
zero in business ethics. But when these men
also happen to be veterans, individuals who
offered their lives for their country and came
out Of the war with warped brains, such
practice becomes peculiarly revolving.
This is what The Times found when it in
vestigated the affairs of the mentally incom-
petent patients in the Marion veterans hos
pital. Alleged unlawful investments of their
funds to the amount of $4,000. an estate
which dropped from $4,000 to IA cents the
loading Of shaky and questionable securities
on mental incompetents-these are just a few
Of the things that this newspaper discovered.
The Times expose adds one more black
page to the whole story of veteran relief.
The Times has battled steadily for generous
and just relief for the truly disabled 1t has
fought Just as hard to eliminate the lazy
and the crooked from the governments PEN
sion rolls.
Where were the veterans organizations
while shrewd banks were none-to -scrupulous-
ly trimming the estate of these poor I'M
fortunates at Marion? Where was the Amer
lean Legion? The Veterans of Foreign Wars?
The Disabled American Veterans?
Here was a splendid opportunity for the
veterans groups to do real piece of service
and they neglected it. Why? Perhaps they
were too busy with other matters
Unfortunately the money that these poor
fellows and their families have lost can not
be restored to them at this late date But it
is still not too late for the legion and other
veterans organizations to make sure that those
responsible for these losses have an oppor-
tunity to explain their conduct to a grand
jury.

son is that One-third of the en-
ployes in the cities and towns are
farmers who ride in and take the
town workers jobs. Most of the
farmers will work for half the wages
the town empl6ye needs, and any
amount of them will work twelve to
eighteen hours and call it a day,
while an enploye who lives in town
will not do it. I guess this is one
reason the farmers get the employ
ment.
What I want to see is the city
council pass an ordinance that
man Of woman employed in the
town be compelled to live within the
city limits-or stay on the outside.
Let some of these farmers get a
job in town and you could not pry
them loose with a croWbar. 1 would
like to hear from other city workers
through your paper.
Ask some Of these farm workers
why they work in town and they
will say this is free country. Well,
if it is free to exploit town labor
that is about the only thing that I
find is free.

times without being molested. Giberson is
reported to have gone on protracted spree
in this city following his escape from jail.
1t is obvious that Crouch was neither care
fully searched nor adequately guarded during
his incarceration in the Marion county jail.
All of which means that the state and city
police as we'll as the county Jail keepers are
falling down on the job. Need for a general
tightening up is indicated. State police should
be subjected to civil service examinations ana

did make mistake by not having

viewpoint you are a bunch of fools.
President Roosevelt gave labor a
chance to organize, and, if it doesn't
do it. laborers ought to have to
work for nothing.

DRAMATICS OFFERED AS
SOLUTION TO LEISURE TIME
By Mrs. Frank Davidhazy

BY Mrs. Frank Davidhazy.
In answer to Corporal J. w. Car
ter's letter in the Message Center
Feb. 3d. in which he brought out the
need for reform to a nonpartisan
organization of civic and social
groups, wish to say that such a
reorganization is already in the
embryo, and was started in answer
to similar appeal by Mrs Frank
lin D. Roosevelt some time ago. She
asked for a movement by the young
er generation to supplant the ten
dency toward war. A similar call
came through the NRA to use profit
ably the spare time given people by
the shorter hours. Governor Nc
Mutt, in different words, said the
same thing in a speech at Butler
university last week when he said
that if we do not look to the spare
time of our unemployed, then we
had better look to our society.
E. Pierre De Miller, 6039 College
avenue, has found an answer, in
part. perhaps, to all this in finding
something as fundamental and as
powerful as the glamor and glory
of war. This was found in the field
Of dramatics which is as old and
