FEDERAL JURY.

Red After Judge Ended
Bitter Scoring

Malone, N. Y. Aug. 2-(UP)--
Arthur Dutch Schultz) Flegen-
heimer, one of the few prohibition
gangsters to "beat the rap" on a
charge of evading federal income
tax, plans to return to New York
City to resume command of his
million dollar policy syndicate.
Freed last night by federal
court jury made up of farmers.
Flegenheimer held forth at a gay
party until early today. His jubi-
liant henchmen were certain 1.-THE
boss would soon be in personal
command again in the Bronx.
Dutch Will Settle
Flegenheimer himself was mag
unanimous toward his crestfallen
foes-Martin Conboy, special fed
eral prosecutor, and the bureau of
internal revenue, which alleges he
owes more than $4,000 in income
tax. Through his attorney. J.
Richard Davis, he announced he'd
settle not only with the federal
government, but with the state of
New York, which has tax bill of
some $4,000.
The town of Malone did not
share the opinion of Federal Judge
Frederick H. Bryant, who told the
Flegenheimer jury that its verdict
sis such that shakes the confidence
of law abiding people in integrity
and truth" Flegenheimer was the
towns hero. Wherever he went
citizens stopped him to wiring his
hand. Indeed, in the crowded lit
tie courtroom last night the spec
tators cheered Justify, to Judge
Bryant's engagement. when the
verdict was announced.
"You have labored long on this
case" Judge Bryant snapped as
the jury. measuring each word and
seemingly sharpening 1t to cutting
edge. mo doubt you have given
careful consideration to this case.
Before discharge you, I will have
to say that your verdict is such
that shakes the confidence of law
abiding people in integrity and
truth. 1t will be apparent to all
who have followed the evidence In
this case that you have reached
verdict based not on the evidence.
but on some other reason.
'You will.go home with the sat-
;sfaction--if it is satisfaction
that you have rendered a blow
against law enforcement and given
aid and encouragement to the peo-
pie who fiout the law. In all prob
ability they will commend you. 1

Every member of the jury
flushed crimson under this tongue

shuffied out. the self confident

THE BONUS RIDER.

There are those occasions when 1t is possible to kill two birds with one stone but the general rule, and the one which experience has proven wise is to try for one and if the other gets in the way that is just much good fortune. But it appears that Congress is made up of some of those -zealous individuals who propose to get two birds with the single stone Having lost one of the birds the first attempt, they are now planning to include it in shot at another.
 The elusive bird at issue is the bonus which has been fitting across the Congressional horizon all session and which the Senate failed to pass the Presidential veto Those who failed to muster enough strength to override the Roosevelt mo" declare they are going to attach the bonus payment scheme on to other bill which the President is desirous of having passed. Particularly they are aiming it at the social security measure, of the true Roose- veltian pieces of proposed legislation. Revealing his consistency the Chief Executive has stated he will veto any bill which has the bonus attached.
 It is longer a question of whether the bonus should be paid That is just mooted question before but it is pertinent whether other pieces of legislation should be hamsrng the bonus lost The matter of payment of service certificates has always been of sufficient importance to stand or fall on its own merits. If there those who feel that the bonus payment bill in some other shape should again be presented at this session, there is nothing to keep them from attempting 1t, but it hardly seems in order to try sliding lost cause through on the coat tails Of some successful piece of legislation The Congress turned thumbs down the Roosevelt supported World Court. and the Chief Executive took the defeat and went on to other things Are those Congressman who sup ported the bonus not good enough sports to be as good losers the President? It may be that bonus should be paid; many think so, and they have very good arguments their side. Undoubtedly it will come up again at this or future sessions. but why not let it stand alone an issue? It certainly is important enough. Why try to slip it in the back door by taeking it as rider on some other measure which may be just as important to the general welfare of the country?
 That isn't the way the veterans have been fight ing in the past and it is not the way most of them want to fight in the future Making football out of the bonus bill will do to defeat it another time than anything else It will get to be national joke and pest instead of being the legitimate problem that it is.

Two Years of AAA.
(New York Times.)


 Coming by bus. by automobile and by train, delegations of farmers now moving on Wash ington to befriend criticize AAA That organi- zation of the first of the New Deal agencies to be set up in the feverish Spring of 1933 celebrates its second birthday this week. The task assigned to 1t two years ago by Congress was to restore pre-War parity" between prices of goods the farmer sells and of those he buys Wheat cotton corn and other farm commodities had all fallen much further during the depression than manufactured goods and the result was partial paralysis of farm pur- chasing power.
 When the Roosevelt Administration entered office the index number of farm prices, computed by the Federal Bureau of Agricultural Economies stood at 55-with 100 representing the pre-war average on the same scale the index of goods the farmer buys stood at lol. In other words farm purchasing power was only 54 per cent Of the desired parity We now find, two years later, that partly because of the effect of MIRA of industrial produc- tion, prices of goods the farmer buys have risen from l0l to 126. But prices of goods the farmer produces and sells have risen still rapidly and now stand at III. Accordingly farm purchasing power has now reached 87 per cent of parity |" compared with the 54 per cent existing when the Government changed hands in Washington That is remarkable and highly important change within the price structure, though only a rare enthus- fast would credit it entirely or perhaps even pri- marily to AAA. Drought, devaluation of the dol lar, the natural rebound of price from panic level and other influences have all played a part in the result.
 Despite the substantially higher prices for farm products now prevailing. AAA finds itself under sharp attack at the end of its second year Criti- cism Is made of the processing tax of the risks of stimulating more active foreign competition for world markets and particularly of the whole phil oscphy Of curtailing farm production But this philosophy it is fair to say, is not an invention l of the professorial mind running wild in Washing ton. The enormous surpluses of unwanted farm goods which piled up during the first years of the depression won many friends for the doctrine of icurtailment. Thus the Republican Party which now shrinks in horror from the "regimentationr of the farmer, declared in it's 1892 platform that the fundamental problem of American agriculture is the control of production to such a volume as will balance supply with demand" and specifically pumped for control of the acreage land under cultivation"
 Such curtailment instituted by AAA rewarded by the payment of cash bounties and reinforced Iby highly unfavorabe crop weather has largely dissipated many of the huge surpluses which hung over the market in 1892 It is probable that AAAs third year will witness some relaxation of it's con- trols, even without that revival of foreign trade which Secretary Wallace has always described as the logical alternative to crop restriction

Early Work Relief.
(New York Times.)

Secretary Ickes said in Magazine section recently that the Public Works Relief Bill
 appropriating $4,S00000000 would pay for the con- struction of nine Panama Canals This is more cheerful thought to carry away than Secretary Ickes other statement that the Public WorKs pro- gram reaches proportions which make such enter prises the building of the Pyramids and the construction of the Great Wall of China seem petty
 The Panama Canal has served a useful purpose
 About the Great Wall of China it is not so easy to say. That impressive barrier does not seem to have stopped anybody who really wanted to invade China from doing so. Perhaps it did serve to keep out small-time marauders and racketeers As for the Pyramids of Egypt it may be that history has all along been unjust to the building Pharaohs h. stead of concentration their own vainglory on this earth and their individual interests the next world they may have actually designed the Pyramids as work relief projects.

Crawling Public Discussion"
(Kansas City star.)

(kanSaS City StarD
 In his preliminary study of the new deal, in Golfers, H. G. Wells a recent visitor to the United States speaks of two hopeful aspects of the situa- tion The first is the freedom of discussion that is habitual in America the second the relative unmportance of large mass antagonisms
 Americans so accustomed to these condi- tions that they do not realize their importance By contrast large in Europe under autocratic rule permit criticism of national politics. Mis- takes cannot be pointed out until the policies col lapse. often with disastrous consequences What MT Wells calls "brawling public discussion" is i'm mense safeguard against pushing unwise policies to disaster.
 As to mass antagonisms, Europe has a terrible legacy of hatreds handed down from medieval times That is why the Marxian doctrine of the class war could take such hold the continent The absence of these antagonisms has made America a sterile soil for communism. Many radical critics of the deal who scoff at President Roosevelt's assumption that the whole nation, employers and employees, can agree reasonable settlements are unconsciousy attrbuting European conditions to the United States
 In view of these advantages, the American prob lem, difficult it is, infinitely easier than the European

MAYBE SOMETHING HE ATE.

Another sea monster raises its gruesome head out of the Pacific this time off the Southern California coast Last year Vancouver the headquarters for these strange creatures of the deep and there was time when Okanogan County. in Eastern Washington laid claim to a marvellous sea serpent which rose at various intervals in one of it's lakes with fire flaming from it's nostrs and all the other ingredients of good story.
 But it appears that this is a real monster off the California coast, resembling almost suf- ficiently to be the leader for a third party move ment The captain of the purse seiner who reported 1t described the creature as looking like merman with head and shiny eyes under a broad smooth forehead, brownish gray hair two or three inches long on the head, and under the chin the hair was 10 to 12 feet long. The skipper and his crew said they tried to capture it but without success Never yet have any of these monsters been brought in either dead or alive, equally strange coincidence
 That no aspersons might be cast the Captain also makes public announcement that he never allows a drop of liquor aboard his boat No no Captain suspected your monster came from a liquor -dazed mind That is unkind and probably untrue. No not from drink but as the doctor asked could it have been something you ate?
