INVITING AGAIN

Editor AskOv American:
l was not at all surprised to read
the protest article Tor rather the de-
Tense article) by Askov Unit of the
League Against War and Fascism in
last weeks Askov American. for after
all, who should defend Communism
and protest against those who would
flay it if Communistic groups did not
do so. While l am not at all in SYM
pathy with the tone and contents Of
the article, l am nevertheless glad
to see it, because it throws light on
a much debated question in our COM
munity of late.
Since Mr.. McNutts visit to Askov
recently, there has been much un-
certainty in the minds of some folks
as to whether these movements
against war and Fascism are Com
munistic but this protest article
leaves no room for doubt and settles
the argument quite definitely. l for

WHAT TO DO, AND DO 1T

1t is an old but true saying that
it is easier to criticize but difficult to
do better When individuals who
have done little but dream and criti-
CHE all their lives suddenly get into
positions where they have to do some
thing it often turns out that they are
lost.
One thing that may be laid at the
door of Republican national campaign
criticism. AS stated before in these
columns, when U. s. Senator Dickin-
son spoke in Minnesota a few weeks
ago he spent about so per cent of his
time criticizing the present national
Democratic administration and 20 per
cent of his time on generalities.
Minnesota has recently heard an
other prominent Republican in Frank
Knox of Chicago, who, it appears,
aspires to the presidency. A group
of Republican newspapermen spon-
sored his Twin City address. One OF
them, Ludwig l. Roe of the Monte
video News, states that advance de-
scriptions of Knox are favorable. al
though the Chicago publisher will
learn as his campaign proceeds that
there will be those who spell him
frank knocks" The News goes on
to speculate on other possible Repub-
lican candidates for the presidency
bringing out that it is we'll to have an
able administrator of public affairs
and adding that the country is about
to find out that it has all the ideas it
can absorb and is in great need of
efficient administration"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1935-10-31

one want to thank the writer's of the
article for making this. point so clear
just now when so many are unde-
cided. AS l understand it these
groups should protest against speak
ers and movements that flay Moscow
dictation and here we have glow
ing example of their loyalty.
The time has come in Askov as we'll
as other places when the true Amer
lean spirit of all individuals and or
CARNATIONS must join hands against
the movements now on foot whose
avowed purpose it is to destroy our
m n a Americanism. The
American Legion at their recent con-
vention in st. Louis, went on record
that their organization would work
to quelch Communistic activity in
America. Perhaps the local unit of
the League Against War and Fascism
would like to state their views again
and thus make another point clear,
as to whether or not they approve OF
the stand taken by the American
Legion and whether or not they will
support the Legion and help to keep
America for those who prefer Amer
lea to all other countries and who
stand gladly and proudly when Amer
lea is sung.
For the benefit of those who did
not hear DR.. Patmont at the school.
want to make one correction in the
protest article. DR.. Patmont did not
speak on the Italo-Ethiopian controv-
ersy, although he did mention it
briefly; his talk, however, was on his
travels and he dwelt mostly on Rus
STA. The high school column Cru
chile" in the Askov American of the
same issue as contained the protest
article will verify me in this correc-
ton as would any one who heard DR..
Patmont at the school. The rest OF
the protest article serves to make the
writer as we'll as the group back Of
it, ridiculous, but is nevertheless de-
serving of gold medal from Moscow,
which undoubtedly will be fOrth-com-
ing at an early date.

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1935-10-31

to make a communist, almost, of Mr..
Ridder himself.
Declaring it amazing" that Mr..
Ridder will order reinstated any man
he finds to have been dismissed for
political activities, the Hearst news
papers are having still further fits
because the new administrator said
he hadn't heard of list drawn up
by WPA project supervisors which
contained the names of 179 agitators
now receiving relief"
Yet all the WPA administrator has
done to merit this "amaZement" has
been. to state that he is going to
gauge WPA workers exclusively upon
their attention to duty.
Since when has it become a high
crime in the United States for citi-
zen to have political or an economic
or a social opinion?
Yet under the Hearst dictum the
mere fact whether proved or not)
that man might be a communist
should exclude him from a WPA job
no matter if he did his work.
Would Mr.. Hearst also exclude
Negroes, Jews, Professionals, Catholics
or all those who do not read his news
papers?
1t is time for Mr.. Hearst to brush
up on his early American history.
Had the rebels who are now hailed
as our patriotic forefathers been ST.
fenced as he would quiet all those
with whom he disagrees, there would
have been no United States today for
him to "save."
Is Mr.. Hearst trying to bring about
fascist government? His methods
are curiously like those employed in
Italy and Germany.
BY contrast the dictum of Mr.. Rid
der is all the more timely and re-
freshing. The nation today needs a
good dose of the kind of freedom OF
opinion and speech which the con-
stitutfon guarantees.

NOT A "PARTY MAN"
mile Laos County Times)

Speaking of a member of the Leg
islature from that part of the state
the Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch made
the following statement:
"He steered rather independ-
ent course during the last session,
picking that which was good from
both sides. When the Farmer
LabOrites were pushing worthy
bill he supported it. When the
conservatives had the right side
of a question he lent them his
support. If there were enough
men of his calibre in the Legisla-
ture Minnesota would be we'll
taken care Of"
There are plenty of men of that
calibre in the Legislature, in fact too
many of them. They are too often
among the reasons why good legisla-
ton cannot be passed. They usually
try to be all things to all men, and
dodge and evade responsibility And
usually they are rated as of little or
no consequence in the Legislature for
nobody knows what they stand for, OF
what they will do in regard to legis-
lation. They are viewed frequently
with suspicion by the other members
as they are liable to be open to
deals" in legislation. They are the
ones that the lobbying interests usu.
ally approach in an effort to line ur
votes. Not having taken any stand
they are naturally open to considera.
ton of most any kind of proposition
And their neutral stand usually
helps them evade their responsibility
to the voters back home who sent
them there. People knowing the
makeup of the Legislature will ash
to be delivered from such artfu
dodgers.

SOUND AMERICANISM
(The st. Paul Daily News)

Victor F.. Ridder. newly inaugu-
rated WPA administrator of New

Hearst Newspapers for bit of sound

Mr.. Ridder has declared that he
will not discharge workers for 20

munists so long as they do their work
and confine their other activities to
after-working hours.

been busy for months attempting to

TRACK STARS

MARKS TODAY.
BY CHARLES MOORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERKELEY, Calf, June 81 W.P)-
One world mark and four track rec
ords were expected to fall here to-
day as 300 of the nations crack
cinder stars opened trials in the
14th annual National Collegiate
Athletic association track and field
meet.
The world record that seemed
certain to be surpassed before trials
in six races and four field events
are completed was the broad jump
standard of 26 feet 21s inches, set
by Chuhei Nambu of Japan in 1881.
Jesse Owens, sensational Ohio
State Negro star, hopes to better
his own unofficial record of 26 feet
8h inches.
In addition to the broad jump,
Owens will race through heats in
the 100 and 220 yard dashes and
220 yard low hurdles.
The dusky trackster does not in
tend to attempt record time in the
heats, but aims to run just fast
enough to qualify, saving his best
efforts for the finals tomorrow.
If Owens comes through with four
firsts, an unheard of accomplish
ment in national competition, the
Ohio State squad will be well on its
way to a national championship
over the undefeated Trojan team
from the University of Southern
California. Charles Beetham, half
miller who ran 1852 last Saturday
for the fastest time of the season,
is a faVorite to win the two lap race
and add ten more points to the
Ohio column.
use, with a team of 90 outstand-
ing competitors entered, bases its
hopes chiefly on sheer man-poWer.
Ken Carpenter in the discus and
Earle Meadows in the pole vault
were the Trojans' only probable first
place winners, but they were TO
present unusual strength in the
high hurdles, 440-yard dash, half
mile, broad jump and sprints.

HEADS
ELECTRICAL
ASSOCIATE

Announcement was made in San
Francisco last night of the elec-
ton of F. O. DolSon, vice-preSl-
dent and general manager of the
Southern Sierras Power company,
to the office of president of the

ton, Inc, is non-profit associa-
ton of electrical utilities, contract
ors and manufacturers, and takes

It's purpose is to coordinate in
general way the activities of these
groups as they mutually affect the
industries involved. During The
past year the association has con-
fined its activities largely to the
education of employees relative to
the different problems affecting
the industry as a whole. A number
of conferences were held by engi-
neering, commercial and other Sec
tions. and a keen competition was
carried on among employees in the
production of essays on vital sub
iects affecting the industry.
In this activity the Southern ST.
erras Power company was conSpic-
uous by winning five special prizes
which were awarded at the meet
ing of the association held in Fres-
no on April II and IL. Employees
of the company prepared SO papers
for this competition.
DolSon has been active in the
association for many years and will
announce his policies for the next
IL months in the near future. He
became affiliated with the Southern
SierraS Power company in June, 81
years ago, when he was placed in
charge of operation of the COM
pany's hydro plants in the High
Sierras. Later he had charge of
the construction of the Rush Greek
plant and in 1913 was called to
Riverside to take the position of
general superintendent of the en-
tire electric system of the COM
pany. In 1929 he was made vice.
president and general manager.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 81 U,a)-
Wayne Sabin, 19-year-old Portland
star, today became the favorite to
take to Oregon the 1895 mems
singles championship of the Cali
fornia state tennis tournament.
The black haired Portland youth
bounded into favoritism through his
performance in eliminating Edward
(Bud) Chandler, seeded No. l, in
quarter final match on the Berke-
ley tennis club court yesterday.
Using a cannonball backhand
drive mixed with debt lobbing, Sabin
eliminated the early favorite by
scores of 4-6, 1910, Ga. Chandler,
an almost perennial state champ
ion, bowed before combination OF
better strategy and stronger legs. He
was putting badly at the end while
Sabin finished with a pair of badly
biiStered hands.
While Sabin was resting today for
his semi-final match Saturday
against Howard Blethen, San Fran
ciscos Alice Marble held the center
of the stage in the tournament.
Miss Marble was scheduled to meet
Gussie Raegener, rising young star,
in Semi-final match in the wom-
ems singles competition.
Other important matches on to-
days program sent Bobby Harman,
Junior star, against Walter Senior
in mems singles; Joe Hunt, Los
Angeles junior, against Craig Neei
in junior singles; and Jane Stanton,
Southern California blonde, against
Margaret Osborne in womens
singles.
