HERE'S A REQUEST FOR
SLEEPING AID
Rx C. Z. ].

BY C. F. J.
Speaking of Sleep When is the
police department going to crack
down on the transcontinental trucks
and their rowdy exhaust explosions
which take occasion almost any
morning to awaken one and all,
especially if one and all live on an
arterial highway street?
I have been awakened many a
morning by what seemed IN the
haze of drowsiness to be the cackle
of machine-gun fire, only in slow
tempo and louder (not funnier).
Buses make the same distressing
noises also, and something should
be done about them. 1t seems to
me I remember some agitation
about this same problem several

TOWNSEND PLAN is
ALIVE, READER SAYS
Rv Inhn NeYins

By John Nevins
S. B. PettingilI in his radio ad-
dress said the need of the hour is
more recovery, not reform, to which
I agree. But he was one Of the
first of our Representatives to de-
nounce the only plan thus far de-
vised that would bring permanent
recovery from this depression.
Our greatest need today IS buy
ing power. The Townsend old-age
pension plan will supply that need.
1t would create a demand for every
thing that goes to make home what
it should be, thereby making work
for all classes of people, most Of
whom are praying for the chance

Only few times in the life of
a generation of people does there
come that bombshell of informa-
ton that shocks them, makes
them stand breathless, makes
them sorrow for days.
Most of us have some remem-
brance of the announcement of
the declaration of war against
Germany. Most of us remember
the Shenandoah tragedy, and
most of us remember that gray
morning when the neWSboys
yelled up and down the street
their terse story that Baby Lind
bergh had been kidnapped.
Of such appalling magnitude
was the news yesterday that Will
Rogers and Wiley Post were killed
in an airplane crash in Alaska.
i It stopped the nation in its tracks.
1t seemed unbelievable. But it was
confirmed by the terse, unimagi-
native report of the United States
Army Signal Corps, which had
known it for almost u hours be-
fore the world was told.
Will Rogers, one of the greatest
contemporary entertainers. Color
fully American, he had tried his
hand at everything from punch
ing COWS to the cinema. AS he
grew older he grew dearer to a
great many people in the United
States and the world. His hui
morous and philosophic comments
were the reading and picture It'd
bits to hundreds of thousands.
Hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie will remember him as he APP
peared in his various pictures.
Fewer will remember him as he
appeared with the Follies and
hoped his rope and chewed his
gum and ratified off his peculiar
humOr.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-08-17
Ldnents Plane Tragedy

Hundreds of thousands more
will remember his radio shows.
One in particular comes to mind
the time he spent about Is min
utes kidding members of the
United States Senate in front of
them.
In this show he got the biggest
laugh when he told John Nance
Garner to stop looking round for
a way to escape, pointing out to
him that there would be poker
game Immediately after the
broadcast.
Not so colorful, but just as i'm
portant, was Wiley Post. It so
happens that this writer knew
Wiley Post, met him and had bust
ness relations with him.
He was a fortnight person,
whose business was flying and
who was as hard as nails about
it. He had a genial way about
him when he greeted old
friends, but he always seemed to
be in a hurry to get to the par
ticIlar job he had in hand.
News stories, for instance, had
it that he would scarcely speak to
reporters when one of his trans
continental stratosphere flights
failed, or when one of the alti-
tude attempts was short of rec
ord.
He was disappointed, and when
he was disappointed he was dis
gusted. He didn't like to fail,
and he did like to win. Fortu-
nately for him-and for the world
he generally won.
Yes, that was a crash that was
heard around the world, and
will be regretted by people as a
whole and the aviation industry

UPHOLDS BROUN'S STAND
ON NATIONAL SITUATION

C. J. Jones
Robert Taylor does not like the
attitude of Haywood Broun. After
writing some sarcasm in Thursdays
Message Center he finally ends with
the innuendo that Broun may
also be guilty of the irrevocable sin
of intolerance"
I hasten to the defense of Mr..
Broun. The point seems to be that
the accuser has intolerance mixed
up with fight for economic justice.
ask is interpreting the truth and
getting facts straight to the dis
paragement of greed, special priv
leges and plain bally-hoo the cir
revocable sin of intolerance?
'HaySeed," as the gentleman
calls Mr.. Broun, even though he has
spent most of his life in New York
City. is against the editorial policy
of the New York Herald Tribune,
because of its reactionary conserva-
tism as typified in Herbert Hoover
the old noise of the full dinner pail,
while working people are made to
suffer more and more through the
greed for larger profits and CEN
tralization of wealth. The same
thing goes in a lesser degree for the
New York Times. Mr.. Taylor calls
it certain national ideals. Doesn't
honest intelligence demand that we
recheck and overhaul certain of our
national ideals, particularly that of
getting ali you can, just so long as
it is within the law and to hell with
the other fellow?
And if Mr.. Taylor thinks William
Randolph Hearst is a liberal jour-
nalist, I am afraid he IS misin-
formed. Hearst's newspapers cater
to the uneducated and sensation
loving type. That is in order to get
circulation and advertising, but as
far as social and economic philos-
ophy are concerned, Hearst is an
aristocrat, and as near to dicta-
torship as any one we have in this
country.
Which of us is not intolerant to
certain extent, but if a fight for
justice is intolerance it is about time
a vast majority of us were becom-
ing more so. When has this coun-
try ever witnessed a more pathetic
scene than during the reign of
Hoover when honest. hard-wroking
men. women and children tainted
from malnutrition while standing in
bread lines? Shall we tolerate that
again?
Every person in this country with
a passion for equality, justice and
democracy owes a debt to Haywood
Broun for putting into clear. con-
else statements just where the
snake in the grass may be found.
And who, Mr. Taylor, is not intol-
Grant of snakes?
