OGDEN MILLS IS
 WELL ANSWERED
 BY TWO CRITICS
Mills Recently Made Very, Bitter Attack Upon the
 New Deal

New York, Feb 9.-UP)-For- mer Secretary of the Treasury Og- den l.. Mill's recent attack on the New Deal was answered last night by Harold l.. Iclkes, secretary of the interior, and Donald R. Rich berg, general counsel of MIRA. The administration leaders speaking be- fore different, audiences, took es- pecial pains to compare the new order with the old.
 Ickes characterized Mills speech at Topeka: "A faint voice" telling 'the free thinking. hard-hititng farmers of the middle west that it far better to starve by strict con stitutional methods than to live by>a li5eralized interpretation of that fundamental document"
 Richberg's reply was centered upon Mills criticism of the planned economy espoused by the New Deal.
 Here MT Mills is evidently speaking his profound convictions ' | he said. Because he sacrificed himself and all his fellow country men upon the altar of that faith, standing immovable for years in an | administration which was so op- | posed to planning and directing our national economy that our entire economic system was allowed | to roll down hill until we arrived | at a complete collapse of private banking on the very day when MT Mills turned over the treasury to men who believed that it is betetr to plan and to direct the course of our affairs than to let them go to smash"
 Ickes characterized the New Deal as bloodless revolution, turn ing out from the seats of power the representatives of wealth and privilege" He described former President Hoover as the "cham- pIon of that ruthless exploiting in- dlvidualism than was in the mean responsible for the terrible econ omic situation in which we found ourselves"
 "Thoso days are gone," he said, 'iet us hope, forever. l believe | that we are at the dawn of an ora when tho average man and wo- man and child in the United states will have an opportunity for hap pier and richer life."
 Ickea spoke before the survey associates, a social service orgnni- zatlOn. Ilichborg addressed the eeonsmlc club.

UNCLE WIGGILY TREATS THE
TURTLE

Uncle Wiggily was down on the
seashore beach trying to make ice
cream for a party OF animal child
ren. Everything would have been
fine and dandy except that the
rabbit gentleman forgot the ice
and salt. And you know, as well
as I. that you can't make ice
cream without ice. The salt doesn t
go in the cream, of course. 1t goes
outside the can to help with the
freezing.
So Uncle Wiggily told his bun
ny boys and girls, and all the 9TH
er animal children who were hum
CRY for the treat, to scatter up and
down the beach and look for ice
and salt.
"It won't be hard to get some
ice,n said Buster, who, with his
brother Duster, had hoped ahead
of the others.

UNCLE SANS PAYROLL

There is considerable food for thought
in the figures gathered by the United
Press and published in last nights issue
of The Press, on the number of people
now receiving checks from the national
government, on which they are depend
ent in whole or in part for their liveli-
hood.
More than 100000 adults are now
receiving federal checks, the figures
show Including their families this
means that between ten and twenty mil
lion persons are benefiting directly from
these checks. The population of the ma
ton is estimated at 130,000,000 and
taking the lower figure of 100000
means that one-thirteenth Of the popula-
ton is being supported by the govern
ment.
On the emergency relief rolls is a total
of 5000 900 persons; emergency works
contribute 100000 more; pensioners to-
tai 91S,56S; government employees 911,-
234; public works, 100000; CCC, 100000;
military, 259,034
The figures do not show the amount
paid to these people in the course of
year. That it will be an enormous sum
is easily understood.
The government" which pays them,
is the taxpayer of the country, including,
of course, many who are on the federal
payroll.
Until many of the 100000 can be
put back into private industry, it can
not truthfully be said that prosperity has
returned. Only by encouraging indus
try in every possible manner, can the
burden of paying these people be re-
duced. 1t is questionable if industry is
being so encouraged. 1t is confronted
with so many rules and regulations, so
much red tape, that it is in grave dan
ger of being strangled rather than aid
ed.
This country's development is the re-
suit of private initiative. When private
initiative is throttled or impeded by un-
wise legislation, true prosperity grows
more remote.
There seems to be a growing tendency
to change it from General Johnson to
General Nuisance"
Many politician would like to have
as easy time running for office as Hit
Ter has.
The states gasoline tax revenue shows
an increase, indicating that the family
bus is still able to get about.

THE PRESIDENT STOPS

You may not read any account of it
IN the papers, but it appears to us to be
well worth mentioning that Mr.. Roose-
velt did something yesterday that is GER
talnly deserving of comment
tie had just arrived back in this coun-
Try and was faced with heavy schedule
of travelling and speech-making after he
left his ship at Portland.
Bound for Bonneville, 40 miles away.
the President made brief stop some
miles outside of Portland to greet some
who are very close to his heart-a group
of crippled children in Shrine hospital.
The youngsters were lined up in wheel
chairs, on crutches and in the arms of
nurses to see the President pass by and
wave a greeting to him.
He could we'll have been excused for
limiting his greeting to a return wave
as he rode by in his car Instead he
stopped, shook hands with the young
sterS and joked with them before resum-
ing his journey. He lost five or 10 min
yates by doing so, thereby probably
ruffllng his schedule makers.
1t appears to be a small thing, until
one thinks what it must have meant to
those youngsters. Granted that they
would have been overjoyed to see Charlie
Siiapiiii, IodDe 1NulIl, JdCh dempsey OF
Mary Pickford, there are two particular
reasons why Mr.. Roosevelt has an even
greater appeal than any other celebrity.
He is the President of the United
States Of America. Many Americans
have lived and died without seeing one
who holds that high office, much less to
be able to shake hands with him. Also,
Mr.. Roosevelt is one of these youngsters
grown up. True his affliction came
in mature years, but he fought it out and
won his fight
1t is impossible to measure the good
he did by this brief visit The nurses
and doctors will tell those youngsters
how Mr. Roosevelt fought and he will be
a wonderful example for them to carry
on their own big fights. His visit not
only pleased them but it is bound to help
them.
Some may say a few score crippled
children may not be important, but we d
like to have somebody tell us what is
more important than helping crippled
children to become better.
If it is true that radical leaders are
coming to California, we suggest that
the state send force of people down
here to learn how to deal with them.

FORD TEAMS
SHOW SPEED
At Bic FAIR

The largest single exhibit at the
famous Chicago Worlds fair is the
Ford display. And one of the most
lnioue and educational features of
the fair is contained in this ex-
hibit according to A. E. Klemmed-
son, assistant general manager OF
the Ford Motor company branch
plant at Long Beach.
Having just returned from Chi
cago and the Worlds fair, KLEIN
medson spoke enthusiastically OF
this novel feature presented to
thousands of people daily at the
Ford exhibit. Seven and one-half
minutes down, 13 up-a total OF
20 and Y minutes to disasSemble
and then to assemble again a 1884
Ford va engine!" he said. That's
the average time each of the two
teams of automobile mechanics
spend in such a demonstration
about "a times daily on the fair
grounds before throngs of marvel
ing visitors. There's keen rivalry
between these teams-each, one
comprising two men-and some
times they're even faster than that,
encouraged by the applause of the
spectators who watch their time
on a large clock on the stage.
But the average time is seven
and one-half minutes to dismantlc
and 13 minutes to assemble. Two
of the four men never worked on
motors before they began to prac-
tice just a few weeks ago, but
repetition has given them facility,
cutting down their beginning time
from fifteen minutes in disaSsembly
and 20 minutes in assembly. OF
course, the demonstration does noh
attempt to picture the process as
it takes place in a dealers shop.
but it does emphasize the simplie-
ity of construction of the Ford
V-8 engine. 1.
Its the simplicity of design.
the easy accessibility of every part
of the engine that makes for speed
in breakdown and build-up, a speed
which reduces all repair costs for
the automobile owner. In the
Worlds fair dismantling -assemb-
ling demonstration, only the STAN
dard kit of tools used in all Ford
service stations is employed"
