new Congress, dominated by his party,
would live up to its responsibilities.
He brought into the open the fears
some Democratic leaders have had
that minorities might succeed in OBJ
tanning enough pre-Congress promises
from Representatives to cause diff
culties.
Congressman Solicited.
ALREADY the newly elected Congress-
men," he said, ARE being solicited to
sign pledges, more or less vague, which
would enable these organizations to
claim them as adherents and so make
a showing of strength before or at the
coming session.
ITO these Congressmen-elect I
would say that, in my opinion, leg
islator who ties his own hands in
regard to legislation on which he will
vote is committing as great sin as
juryman who goes into court pledged
in advance to particular verdict.
His duty = is to keep his mind
open, to preserve his freedom of judg-
ment and his independence of thought,
to the end that when he takes posi-
ton on any of the grave matters with
which the coming Congress must deal
he will vote as his conscience directs,
for the best interests of the people"
Trouble for Majority Seen.
Farley conceded the Democratic ma
jority would be 'beset by enthusiasts
who regard the New Deal as the
opening for those extreme measures
which we label Socialistic or Com
munistic" and "importuned by those
who regard any departure from what
has been done in the past as danger
Gus and unconstitutional radicalism,"
but added:
Il don't imagine that anybody is
much worried over the idea that the
Presidents good, old-fashioned horse
sense will be missing from the admin
istration's course in this situation.
There is no one less likely to over
turn the apple cart than he. For
nearly two years now he has conducted
the affairs of this great Office to the
satisfaction of the people. He has
been exposed at all times to the gales
of conflicting opinion that will blow
so fercely about the coming Congress"

from $15,o0o,o00 to $1,000, 900, and

The historic United States mint at

It might have gone on and on in
genteel decay but for the fact that
with the rise in the paper money price
Of gold and the resultant boom in
gold mining and boom in the gold
melting pots for gold teeth and we'd

have had new lease on life. And
the San Francisco mint physically

Deplores Pictures of
Criminals i'm Print

To the Editor Of The Star:
The writer belongs to a group of
women including mothers, teachers
and business women who read The
Star and appreciate Its high standard
and splendid contribution to the well
fare of our city and Nation.
We, however, deplore the undue pub
licity given by some newspapers to
criminals and all that pertains TO
their lives of crime. Such publicity
is often an incentive rather than
a deterrent to the criminally inclined.
1t also attracts young people. And
children often enact the part Of the
desperate in their games.
The idea of the relatives Of such
characters appearing on the stage is,
in our opinion, most Objectionable from
many standpoints.
The fact that the man who sought
to take the life of President Roosevelt
in Miami just before his Inauguration
seemed most hurt because photog-
raphers were not allowed to take pic
lures of his execution shows how
eager some are for publicity.
In short, we would like to recon-
mend that our newspapers stress the
good and noble deeds that are done
rather than the sordid and degrading
ones. GRACE T. NEWTON,

Disarmament, that everlasting prob
LEM, seems further than ever from
solution.
Following news that France has
constructed q vast system of forth
ficationS along her western frontier
and that Germany. Italy, Russia and
others are preparing, comes the frank
announcement from Great Britain
that she has decided on a program
Of increasing her air force BY fl
Squadrons during the next five years.
Britain processes misgivings "at the
increasing accumulation of deficiencies
IN our defensive services. particularly
IN view of the increased expenditure
on armamentS In many other coun-
tries"

ley Baldwin, lord president of the

MIDI Continent Forest Idea
Strikes Popular Imagination

Much enthusiastically favorable
comment greets the administration
reforestation plan by which it is pro-
posed to improve climate and soil in
the Middle West. There are, however,
some doubters who see great practical
difficulties ahead in the task of grow
ing strip Of forest a hundred miles
west from Canada to the Texas Pam
handle.
"The whole pIan," the Providence
Evening Bulletin explains, rests
upon the demonstrated theory that
If the surface velocity of the wind
over a wide area can be broken and
decreased even slightly. soil will be
held in place, the moisture in the soil
viii be conserved and immense havens
Of shelter will be created, within
which crops and live stock may be
raised virtually free from the menace
of killing drought"
"This latest ambitious undertaking
Of the Roosevelt administration" de-
clares the Denver Rocky Mountain
News, 'is one that will capture the
imagination of all who think in terms
of future generations" The Ashland
Daily Independent calls it lone Of the
brightest ideas brought forward in
Washington in long time" and the
Dayton Herald expresses the opinion
that 'it is one Of the few projects
undertaken by the Federal Govern
ment whose wisdom no reasonable
man can question" The Charleston
Evening Post also regards the re-
forestation plan as perhaps the most
readily approved undertaking Of al
the vast commitments or experiments
of the administration"
cat last an administration rises"
says the Milwaukee Journal, under
standing enough, and fearless enough,
to begin conserving on a gigantic
scale, not for the piffling sake Of fish,
ing and hunting, or merely for the
sake of beautiful landscapes, but to
mitigate the harshness Of climate,
preserve the soil and bulwark a dan
gerously declining belt of Midwestern
agriculture"
"The first practical effect" the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin be-
Heves, should be to give the stricken
farmer employment-farmers will get
90 per cent Of the outlay-and a mar
ket for some of his assets, the Gov
ernment intending to buy or lease
much of the needed land" This as
pect also appeals to the Asbury Park
Evening Press.
"AlI authorities on the probable
causes of drought, however, are not
cheered by this development, accord
ing to the South Bend Tribune. Much
more than a shelter belt Of trees Is
needed, according to some OF them.
The Monroe (Mich.) Evening News
likewise suggests that "the benefits
are problematical," but admits that
"tree-planting perhaps is the only an
swer." The Columbus Evening Dis
patch regards it as more reasonable
than the mechanistic and artificial
attempts Of the A. A. A. to restrict
acreage and pay farmers for permit
ting their land to lie idle"
The Reno Evening Gazette re-
marks that "this new plan, ambitious
as it Is. seems TO be only an appr-
