BL00DSHED FEARED

Communists Vow to Stay in Cali.

Warning.

SANTA. ROSA, Calf. August 28.-
Determination of Sonora County vigil
lantes to drive out Communists gave
rise to a situation that officials today
feared might lead to rioting and pos
sible bloodshed.
I'VE will stay" read handbills dis
tributed throughout the city over the
signature of the "Sonoma section OF
the Communist party, U. S. A.. sec
ton of Communist Internationale."
The handbills answered demands OF
a group of vigilantes which last week,
after tarring and feathering two al
legged radicals, demanded that Com
munists "get out and stay out"
William F. Cowan, district attorney,
expressed fear rioting and bloodshed
might result after the vigilantes were
reported to have accepted the chal-
lenge.
Meanwhile, Edward Burton Wolff,
allegedly driven from his home by
the vigilantes, was quoted in San Fran

which constitute our very serious
crime problem.
The most important offense, prosti-
tuition, is recognized by many to be q
social rather than criminal question.
Case study after case study reveals
that these women are frequently the
product sf environmental and eco
nomic pressure.
Intoxication, although deplorable,
should not be treated in the same
manner as burglary. 1t is an evidence
Of lack of individual control or emo
tional instability which may easily be
superinduced either by economic pres
sure or by psychological or physio-
logical insuff1ciency.
The use of narcotics by women Is
often a symptom of personality difl-
culties and is frequently brought
about by undesirable environmental
factors and social contacts. 1t Is not
in itself an offense against society to
be classed with and treated as crimes
of violence against property or the
person.
1t would seem an elementary con-
clusion that most of the female men,
bers of our penal population, because
OF their own psychological constitu-
ton, as well as because OF the Spe-
cific nature and origin of a vast ma
jority of their offenses, should be
treated as social problems, with ade-
quate provision for medical, psych1-
strie and social care.

LOBBY QUIZ DATES
TO Be FIXED SOON
Committee Plans to Push
Inquiry as Soon as
Practicable.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Chairman OConnor Of the House
Rules Committee announced today he
would formulate within the next few
days definite plans for resumption OF
the investigation Of lobbying activities
bill.
The committee has been marking
time due to the pressure of other
business incident to the adjournment
Of Congress, but O'Connor said 1t will
soon be ready to go ahead with the
inquiry.
Enactment of the Wheeler -Rayburn
| bill. which requires the registration of
all utility lobbyists with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, O'Connor
believes, might detract the public in
terest somewhat in future develop
ments in the investigation. He does
not feel, however, that the inquiry
should be called off because utility
lobbyists have been placed under con-
troll.
Probers Delve for Facts.
O'Connor said it probably would be
committee together to resume public
hearings. In the meantime. COM
mittee investigators will continue to
gather information to be developed at
these hearings.
Howard C.. Hopson, master mind"
OF the Associated Gas &, Electric Co.,
according to O'Connor will be recalled
An taa
renews its investigation. Hopson al
ready has been examined about the
Associated's campaign against the
utilities bill, but the committee now
wants to question him about banks
that loaned the company $1,000, 900
To finance it and the amount Of his
annual income.
Statements Already Made.
In compliance with the committees
order, Hopson already has furnished
this information in a series Of state
ments Several members, however,
are said to be anxious to ask him
questions about certain details in
these statements and for that reason
he is to be recalled.
The Senate Lobby Committee also
is planning to resume its public hear
ings within several weeks, at which
time it will endeavor to bring to light
activities Of the Cities Service Co. in
fighting the utilities bill. This COM
mittee's special investigators now are
making a careful examination of the
records of Cities Service and its
numerous subsidiaries preparatory to
resumption Of the investigation.

Even so. can't help admiring the old

ANDREWS GIVEN
3 AIR RECORDS
Army Air Force Headquar.
terS Commander to Try
for Three Others.

Brig. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, COM
manding the new General Headquar-
tiers Air Force of the Army. today re-
ceived official credit for three new
world seaplane records as a result OF
his flight last Saturday around the
Washington, New York, Langley Field
course, it was announced by the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association.
He was credited with a new speed
record of 1854 miles per hour for
1000 kilometers. or 621 miles, with
a payload of 1000 Kilograms. or 1900
pounds. He automatically established
records at the same time for the same
speed and distance without load and
with load of 500 Kilograms. The gen.
eral failed in an attempt to establish
three additional records for 1000 kilo-
meters.
Expects to Take More
Gen. Andrews told National Aero
nautic Association officials that con-
ditions for the flight last Saturday
were not the best, and he feels he
will be able to establish the three
2,000-kilometer records and to better
the new ,0G0-kilometer marks by 10
to Is miles per hour with more favor
able conditions. He has not made
definite plans for another attempt.
Bombardment Plane.
The three new records we're estab-
lished in a Martin B-12W lombard
ment airplane with pontoon flotation
gear in the place Of the normal land
ing wheels. The general carried two
l 1,100-pound bombs as the payload and
took of with 2,700 pounds of fuel.
The general took all three records
from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Ed
win Musick and Boris Sergievsky, who
established all three marks at 157.S
miles per hour in single fight last
year in the Sikorsky S-42 airplane,
which now is being used by Pan
American Airways in the pioneering
of transpacif1c air-transport service.

case a week elapsed and then the re-
ports appeared on the front pages.
One was published by foremost
Washington news gatherer and the
other by a trade paper in New York.
No one suspects President RooSe-
uelt of slipping out these critical
reports, but there is ground for
suspicion that the business council
has developed q system OF making
its uiewS known to the iporld.
What has happened is that the
council oiUes the President a meek
to make its pie1Ds public. II he fails
there are Ways.
A fancy job of editing was done
on the Congressional Record to con-
ceal the fact from posterity that the
House sat unconstitutionally for 20
minutes last Saturday night. The
Record says the House quit at 11:47
pm, but it really recessed about
1920 am. This was 20 minutes after
its authority expired by its own edict.
What happened was that Congress
got in an absurd mess. Speaker 8yrns
realized at 11:40 pm. that the House
could not decide what to do before
it expired at midnight, so Mr.. Byrns
defied the edict that time waits for
no man. He told one of his clerks
to get stick and stop the big clock
over his head. 1t remained stopped
until about half an hour later, when
I1- II I-I
big to be solved that night, and
Congress adjourned until Monday.
Smart ldwyers may be able to
figure out q aoay to attack the con-
stitutionGlity OF everything Con-
gress did thereafter. But they Diu
have hard time proving it in Dtetu
of Justification of the Record. =.
An editorial conclusion that this
Congress could not even adjourn con-
stitutionally, however, may not be
far wrong.
Can Learn from Capper.
If New Dealers will see Senator
Capper they may learn something
to their advantage. The Kansan says
little but he reads a lot. What he
reads mostly is the mail bag. 1t is
larger than that Of most Congressman
because Capper is farm publisher as
well as a farm legislator. He re-
ceiyes mail from the farm wives who
do not write to any one else.
He has noticed lately what he per-
ceives to be change in general farm
sentiment toward the administration.
The farmers, he says, are naturally
frugal people. They have to be. A
substantial number of them (perhaps
a majority, he says) seem to have
become interested during recent
months in Government expenditures.
One thing which appeared to have
awakened their interest, he believes,
is taxes. (Not processing taxes, be-
cause someone else pays those.)
Ordinarily if a Republican Sena-
tor said anything like that it would
be smaller news than a dog biting
man. Capper, however, has not
been a political antagonist of the
New Deal and does not ordinarily
indulge in political hog wash.

Il Everything here is supposed to
be orderly. Everything flows in turn,
according to custom-men, society and

For that reason a dire problem has
been created by the fact that certain
secret reports from the Business Ad-
visory Council have lately developed a
way of getting on the front pages.
The council was Secretary Roper's
idea. News readers may recall that
the Secretary of Commences council
of business men was supposed to ex-
press views of business. The council
members we're to tell what they
thought about the New Deal. For a
time their thoughts, as expressed In
their reports, must have been un-
printable. At least these reports were
sent to the White House and referred
down the alley to a department for
eternal consideration. They were
made public only when they favored
the social security program or con-
tinuance Of the N. r. A.
Referred to Filing Cabinet.

In the entire field of crime there
Is no one problem which offers a
clearer-cut challenge to intelligent
and sympathetic reform than that OF
the treatment Of the female offender.
If and when this reform is effected,
and II it reflects the sound knowledge
at our disposal from bitter experience,
I venture to prophesy not only that
the female crime rate Will be greatly
reduced, but that gratifying pro-
