Rain Saves NelU Deal

THE farmer who has been burned out by the sun

Dety. Church membership diminiShes very little
during droughts but they are bad periods for Repub

should issue poll for this particular section of
the wheat belt. Rain has come in time to preserve
the overwhelming popularity of President Roosevelt.
One more dry week and the new deal would have
been distinctly in Dutch in Minnesota.
Occasionally the tourist gets a chance to the
New York papers and from their perusal he gathers
that certain statesmen using the drought as an
argument against the wheat curtailment program of
the Roosevelt administration. have noted the fact
that in any disaster the victims likely to lash
against the men in power, but there is not much
logic in assailing Wallace TugweH on the ground
that lands hereahouts lay idle during year which
promises to be well below the grain average.
If the farmer had planted more the only result
would be that he would have lost more. He is not
indignant the fact that he failed to bend his
back in certain meadows which have since become

Heat No Joke

DUT st. Paul lives more clearly within the palms

afflicted the middle west joke here abouts.
Farmers literally watched their labor of many weeks
scorch before their eyes, Cattle staggered in the
bereft pastures and lay down to die.
Here is community which knows every modern
improvement 1t light homes with electricity

and conveniences which science and research have
to offer are at the command of the citizens Of st.
Paul and the farms which surround the city. But
in respect this modern civilization stands
shoulder to shoulder with Abraham and Isaac and
the kings of Egypt 1t must look to the skies for its
safety and salvation. The Minnesota farmer is no
better off than the Indian, whom he Supplanted in
his dependence upon those dieties who govern rain
In fact the ramifcatonS of the weather are pos
sibly complex and complicated than in
the ancient days. Floyd B. Olsen, the present Gov
ernor, stands better chance of reelection because
of the support which has come to him through the
gentle dew from heaven. No sensible voter should
rebuke a mayor, a Governor or President simply
because of lack of rainfall but pluraties out here
follow the weather report. Extreme international
radicalism has been set back at least twelve months
on account of local showers.

Those persons who ardently and
steadily have campaigned for an
air corps independent of army and
navy control saw in the general
staff plan slight concession to
their demands.
ENERAL MACAR HUR
" pointed out that one form of
air Observation-Disclosures an
inherent part of the ground
forces. But back of these eche-
Ions, he said, should be a general
headquarters force, under control
of the commanding general in the
field, equipped with the strictly
fighting planes-attacks, pursuits
and bombers.
The general visualized this ire
mendous reserve force as being
prepared at moments notice to
speed to any area or areas and
there repel invaders.
They are to be used just as you
would use a slingshot," he said.
They are to be thrown at the
point where they will be most
damaging.
For cohesion, coordination
and to prevent their dissipation
on minor missions, they are held
together as a great general re-
serve under the commanding gen.
eral in the field.'
General Macarthur said this
force could be used as a great
deciding factor in a mass combat"
and for rapid reinforcement at
distant threatened points, such as
the outposts in Panama or Ha-
waii.
n
ONLY once did he indicate that
Othe United States might con-
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-09

ceivably be forced in self defense
into a punitive role and that was
when he said:
They (the 1000 planes) could
be used in independent missions
of destruction aimed at the vital
arteries of nation, or they might
of necessity be divided up and
used in detail"
General MacArthur'S arguments
for a strong air force were prob
ably as vigorous as ever came
from a veteran army officer
trained in warfare on the land.
He spoke, too, after long consulta-
ton and study of the problems
with the members of the general
staff, dominated by men expe-
rienced in the older forms of mill
tary service.
Planes are changing so rapidly
in performance today, General
Macarthur said, that withoin the
next ten years you will probably
see such marked improvement
that one type will do the work
that is now divided among the
Ullree types"
He traced the development of
aircraft, predicted much larger
and swifter planes, and said they
might follow the form of growth
that transformed the small naval
man-of-war of decades ago into
the great sea fighter of today.
y
TIME general, in brief, gave
Il every evidence of being thor
oughly "air-minded."
The air corps now has only two
wings-ope on the Pacific coast,
the other on the Atlantic coast
and it should have five wings.

largely composed of swift pursuits
and deadly, load-carrying bomb
ers, he declared.
GAS time goes on-as I say, we
are treading untried paths-you
might require a force very much
larger" he said. But, you might
find, if the types coalesce, that
such force might be unwieldy"
The trend throughout the world,
he said, has been toward greater
stress on military air forces.
"All air forces, in spite of the
incesSant talk of disarmament
and the efforts made at Geneva
to curtail them, are increasing"
he continued. "Of course, weapons
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-09

of war not only have a certain in
herent need and necessity, but
they are very sensitive to 'relativ-
ity,' that is to say what the other
fellow has, and the air trend has
been up"
He took notice of the public
wonderment when he deplored
the lack of understanding as to
the duties of the army and navy
among the various interested
groups because, he said, cit has
resulted in friction and in conten-
ton and the growth of an idea
in civilian circles that neither the
army nor the navy knew exactly
what they were driving at"

OPPRESSION Lea1es Its Mark ON the Army Air Corps

A IR corps officers applauded
L n and then, speaking as indivi-
duals, brought forth their plan for
the chain of bomb proof air bases
and the aerial patrol of the ma
tons borders. 1t considerably re-
sembleS the one approved by Rep
resentative J. J. McSwain, chair
man of the house military affairs
committee, and by Brigadier-
General William Mitchell, COM
mander of the overseas air forces
during the World war.
Nobody expects or wants war"
said one officer. But we're hired
to defend the nation. We must
get it into our heads that war is
not fun, not f1ashy formation fly
ing to make crowds cheer, nor
taking off when we feel like it
and only when the sun is shining.
Suppose an enemy suddenly
attacked the west coast and we
wanted to get all our spare fight
ing ships out there. I'm saying
JuSO ouppOSe, IeIuSII1D6T.
First, we'd find that more than
half of them either were slow
and almost worthless, or assigned
and needed in schools. Flying
west, all would be well for some
of the boys if the weather was
tough and just too bad for the
others. We're not sufficiently
trained in blind flying, or in fol-
lowing the radio beams.
VOU can bet the enemy, if he
Il had any sense, first thing
would have destroyed our air bases
out there. We'd have to land
somewhere for supplies. The SEN
s1ble thing would be for the air
corps men at the scene of action
to scout around, select a safe
field and guide us in. But how?
The boys in Dayton perfected
that blind landing device two years
ago and the army did nothing to
have us trained until after the air
mail explosion. But if we knew
that system and transmitting sets
were scattered around, the job
would be simple. We'd need only
to get anywhere within fifty miles
of any field and know the wave
lengths Of the station. We could
get down into good COW pasture in
the dead of night with that Sys-
tenn"
The problem that has been
handed to the Baker board is a
difficult and important one. What
is needed? The force of 1000
planes? The airplane patrol of the
borders? More concentration on
blind flying and less on formation
work. An entirely new system of
training?
The army general staff has esti-
mated the cost of building up the
strength of the air corps to the
position it should have attained
three years ago. That subject will
be discussed in an article Mon
day.

Between the civil service work.
ers and practically every one else
on the AAA night shift there is
open bitter rivalry. This is espe-
cially true of the hometown poll
ticians who have come to Wash
ington to make a name for them
selves.
MOST of them are middle.
4V1 aged, bald-headed, old-fash-
Toned fellows wearing neavy
watch chains, celluloid collars,
clothes that are much too hot for
Washington summers, and who
try to look important but actu-
ally appear pathetically timid.
Arriving in Washington armed
with letters from the hometown
political bosses, they expect to
get foreign legation or at least
land commissionership on the
federal trade commission; in
stead they are showed off on the
night shift of the AAA at 81 40
a year with the promise, Just
take this temporary job until we
can find something better"
Most of them would do more
work if they could, and make
overtures to the civil service
workers to teach them the ropes.
But the latter, knowing that their
only salvation is the ignorance of
their colleagues, are as communi-
cative as Chesapeake oysters.
The civil service workers come
chiefly from Maryland, Virginia,
and the District of Columbia;
but despite their much higher eff
ficiency they are being weeded out
rapidly. Most dismissals are given
without the required thirty day
notice.
Another clique unto itself is
made up of college boys, most of
them going to George Washing
ton, Georgetown or any of the
other half dozen universities in
the capital, who keep themselves
awake flirting with pretty girls or
studying. They set the high-water
mark for ineff1ciency. Some have
allowances from home, which to-
gether with their government pay,
permits them to drive to work in
their own roadSters.

ers, who know all the routine of
punch cards, tabulating machines,
and sorting machines which re-
duce human labor to a minimum.
Because of this many of them
have been elevated to the exalted
rank of assistant supervisors, at
$4,000 a year, thereby earning the
right to strut around the room,
lean on the desks of pretty girls,
talk learnedly with the super
visor and in general display an
exaggerated ego.
The most amazing thing about
these assistant supervisors is
their callousness regarding mis-
takes. Frequent errors are made
by the tabulating machines in
calculating the amounts of money

$50, called to the attention of an
assistant supervisor, brought the
reply:
Were not supposed to get that.
That's the job of the auditing
boys"
Shall I make a note of it on
the margin?"
mo, that's their business"
Usually the method of figuring
the size of crop checks is so COM
plicated that it is difficult for
farmers to know whether the
amolnt they receive is accurate.
But three farmers in Springfield,
Mo-, discovered that they were be-
ing overpaid and turned the
checks in to the county agent.
How many other mistakes have
been made is impossible to esti-
mate, but they must be multitude
nous.
These errors seemed to worry
the civil service workers, most of
them government clerks of the old
school type who take a sort of
cantankerous pride in their work.
But even they, finding no one to
share their point of view, now
worry no more.
MOST of the contracts handled
1V1 are for cotton and tobacco.
Comparatively few farmers had
taken up the governments prop
osition on the curtailment of
wheat acreage even before the
drought. There are also a lot of
crop loans on corn.
Take one of the latter, that of
r. Cassens of Rock Rapids, Ia,
to illustrate how the contract is
handled. His estimated produc-
ton for this year is 1000 bushels
Of corn with which he intends to
fatten forty head of hogs. His
carryover for 1888 was $500
bushels and his 1882 carryover is
still 300 bushels. On the basis of
this he gets a crop loan of 5000.
But most of these checks are
mailed to mortgage banks, not the
farmer.
The Cassens contract along with
thousands of others, goes through
the receiving section, then to the
review clerks, then through the
auditing section, until it hits the
machine unit, which instead of
being concentrated in one part of
the building is scattered from the
fourth and fifth floors to the base
ment.
Here the contract is run through
the card punch machine, the gang
punch which checks out the coun-
ty and state, the sorting machine,
the tabulating machine and then
comes to the machine review
clerk.
DUT there is little co-ordina-
- ton between these machines.
A stack of contracts will come
through one; meanwhile two or
three other machines are held UP
waiting for work. All night long
it is a question of working thirty
inmates, then loaf1ng sixty.
Probably the root of the diff
Guilty is that there is not enough
work to justify night shifts. But
