The Book World

DENJAAfIN APPEL is the Jack Dempsey Of
ID the writing craft, if there can be such a
thing as a 'Man-AIauer" in the world of books.
Mr. Appel, graduate of New Yorks Heus
Kitchen, is one writer who doesn't believe in
pulling his punches. To him hard-boiled guy
is toughie and deserves no sympathy and
should die the way he lives.
For that reason his hometown critics have
not always recognized his art. True, the Big
City now realizes the power of his pen, but few
really paid much attention to this fellow who
hurls solar plexus punches at his readers. One
of the few, by the way. was Harry Hansen, the
New York World kilograms famed book critic.
Well. ct any rate, Mr. Appel has just tossed
another book into the maelstrOm of words. 1t is
-Four Roads to Death" (Alfred A. Knopf; So
and he simply slaughters the regulations of every
one of his characters BY the time you get
through the book you'd like to personally murder
the three chief cnaracters-probaby by slow
torture.
1t is the story of an archaeological expedition
into Central Asia Mr.. Appel refuses to give any
glamor to expeditions which are supposed to abet
knowledge and he implies that all the four per-
sons who go on the trip are moved by egotism,
by greed by villainy, and that those who return
do so with soiled hands.
It is a book in which nobody comes clean.
Make no mistake about tits a hard book
and if you like EN- that way, this is the one
for you.
WE Americans work hard, we're competent
w and we're efficient, but we don't have
much fun.
That's the conclusion of John Gibbons, an
English newspaper man, who has written an
entertaining book in rs This American" (Dut-
ton; $3.50.
Mr.. Gibbons started in New York, took the
train to New Orleans and then trekked back
across the country by bus and the good old
thumb route at which Chief Mike Morrissey will
very probably shudder. Mr.. Gibbons liked our
hotels, our good roads, our hospitality the way
our women-folk dress, and our lack Of self-con-
seriousness.
But and good but he says that great
cities are the saddest places on earth, that our
railroads are oveTated, New Yorks Coney Island
is terrible, and that occasionally our bruSqueness
isn't becoming.
Mr.. Gibbons has written his book in a humOr
Gus vein and it's dandy summer reading.
Oh, yes, he thinks our citizens ought to be
joStled off to the police station once or twice
each week and forced to enjoy good chuckle.
Who ever thought police stations we're funny?
Ours in Indianapolis isn't.

CORPORATIONS SHOULD
OPERATE AT FULL CAPACITY
By a Times Reader.

By Times Reader.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported on June IS that industrial
production declined for the fourth
consecutive month. Some of us still
have cOck-eyed notion that some
how We are still in a temporary de-
preston. Many competent econom-
lists assert that millions of those
now unemployed will never again
secure employment in the industries
Of the country. Real prosperity can
rot be achieved until all who are
able and willing to produce new
wealth shall have the opportunity to
create goods.
These economists claim that under
the present system of profit produc-
ton that such Unemployment is
impossible. If that is true, the make
shift program of public work relief
is not only futile, but it shows a lack
of comprehension on the part OF
government. as to the proper course
to pursue to change the situation.
That this condition can be permit
ted to continue indefinitely or that
it can continue without serious dan
ger TO the social structure Of So
ciety is out of the question. Cor
rection of this condition is impera-
tive The longer it continues, the
greater will be the disaster, as re-
suit Of letting things drift as they

neither a solution or remedy. If our
captains of industry have the least
bit of foresight. they would seek the
cooperation of the government. to

Our industrial network is nearly
50 per cent controlled by 200 corpo-
rations. The heads Of these corpo-
rations should be called to Wash

FAIRGROUNDS AND SAFETY

INDIANAPOLIS Fairgrounds offer the chill
dren of this city an opportunity to play

AT A JOB THAT FITS

ONE thing seems 70 be certain. in a world
~ OF uncertainties; New York City is about
to get some real action in its huge work-re-
lief program. for the simple reason that Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson is going to be the admin
istrator.
Say what you viii about the genersl-ard
there is lot 10 be said. on both sides-he is
at least a man OF action. You may not al
ways agree with the action he takes. and you
may hardly ever agree with what he says
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-06-29

but he does make fur fly when he tackles
a job.
As a policy-maker. such as he was in his
NRA job, the general was something less
than a distinguished success. But as an ad-
ministrator, pure and simple. entrusted with
an executive job like this one in New York,
he ought to be a whirlwind.
His talents may be somewhat peculiar,
but they are genuine talents, and it is good
to see that they are going to be exercised in
the public service.

WHITE RIVER MOTOR BOAT
SITUATION is DEPLORED

By Mrs. E. H.
The bad situation relative to mo-
tor boats on White River could have
been remedied long ago if Buck
Sumner, former sheriff, had paid
heed to the numerous requests for
relief from this nuisance. Several
times he was called upon to COM
pei boat operators to obey the laws
and on one occasion a petition was
sent to him. This petition was
signed by a great number of resi-
dents of River Heights, opposite Ra-
venswood, but no attention was paid
to it.
The noise from these boats is
almost unbearable. Yet there is a
state law against operating such a
boat without a muffer. Moreover,
the danger Of colliding with canoes
and other smaller craft is always
present,
Much has been said about the
drowning of a young man last Sun
day, but few know that the waves
from motor boats upset boat last
summer containing three children,
two women and one man, and quick
rescue work on the part Of swim
mers and others prevented a ter
rible tragedy.
We hope The Times will strive to
enlist the aid of the present sheriff
in bringing a more satisfactory So
luton of the problem.
Understand US. please. We have
no objection to the operation of mo-
tor boats but We do object 10 the
unnecessary noise and danger Give
them, the speed boats, the dam
from the north end of Broad Rip
pie Park to the entrance of the ca
nal and that should satisfy all con-
cerned.

COWARDLY LAWMAKING

Under the directing genius Of a Tammany
- Democrats. the House Of Representatives
Is making laws By devious and covsrdly pro-
oedure which prevents the people from finding
out how their congressman vote.
This procedure. which makes mockery Of
the theory that ours is a government Of the
people. is made possible by a conspiracy be-
tween the House Democratic and Republican
leaders.
Representative John OConnOr. the Tam
many Democrat, is chairman Of the powerful
House Rules Committee. The committee. hand
picked BY leaders Of the two parties. writes the
rules under which each piece Of important leg
1slau0n is considered.
The hlde-and-seek rule under which the
House is now considering the Wheeler-Ray-
burn holding company bill is illustrative. This
rule permits the House members 70 vote by
Toll-call on two or three questions about as i'm
portant as whether rs" shall be dotted or
Its crossed. But the rule does not permit
record vote on the one issue that is vtal-the
issue Of death sentence on the super holding
companies.
But the rule does permit a teller vote. A
teller vote is taken by having the members
walk down the center aisle and be counted.
only the totals OF votes cast for and against
the question go into the record The record
does not show how the individual Congressman
vote. Nobody knows how they vote. except the
members themselves and the persons who sit
IN the galleries. And when this teller vote is
taken. House galleries viii be packed with util-
ity lobbyists. These lobbyists go home and re-
port to their bosses. who are known to be lib
eral in making campaign contributions n
those candidates who vote right
The same kind of shenanigan is to be
worked when the next bill comes up--the IVA
bill The House leaders have conveniently
arranged to dispose of both of these power
measures at one time, thereby saving the power
lobbyists the expense OF making two trips to
Washington. The only thing important in re-
gard TO this measure is whether the Senate bill,
which favors the IVA, or the House bill, which
fayors the power companies, is TO be adopted.
And on that issue, there will be no record vote
but only teller vote which the lobbyists in
the galleries can count and of which the peo-
pie back home will never know.
lowed in passage OF the Wagner labor disputes
bill. There was a lot of heat" on this bill. SO
by common consent, 1t was passed by a voice
vote. There was no record vote. There wasn't
even a teller vote. So even the lobbyists
couldn't tell how the members voted. Doubt
less. the reason for this was that in the gall
leries sat two opposing groups of lobbyists
those representing the A F. Of L., which
favored the bill. and those representing the or
ganized manufacturers, who we're against the
bill
Regardless Of what position they may take
on these three controversial measures, all
honeSt-thinking citizens will agree that this is
not representative government. Under a re-
publican system, 1t is the sovereign right Of
every citizen to know how his elected repre-
sentative votes.

SOnnetS of a
SOjOurner
BY BERTRAM DAY

If lovers seek a beautiful romance,
Then let them sit on deck some
moonlit night,
And from a coy nook where waves
entrance,
Allow their souls to thrill with
pure delight.
All things will seem divine-no word
amiss-
The moon will tell of love in
whispers low,
Then see them pledged in be-
trothal kiss
Which man and maid and moon
alone can know.
SO two hearts linked together on the
sea
Go sailing wishing waves to yon-
der shore.
For something new within has
made them free
Since love came flooding through
the open door.
God smiles His love on such a holy
sight
When hearts are mated on a moon-
lit night.

OATHS

THE teachers oath bill" has been passed
Il by the Massachusetts, Legislature and
signed by the Governor. 1t requires all teach
ers in Massachusetts, public schools to pledge
allegiance TO state and national Constitutions.
next logical move might be to institute
teachers oath bill requiring pledge Of allegi-
ance 10 the Legislature and the Governor. And
for that matter. to councilmen. sheriffs, dog
catchers and all other present administrative
powers that be.
Therein lies danger in this oath business.

Liberal Viewpoint
by DIR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

TINE great fortunes which Mr. Roosevelt at
Il tacks are defended on the ground that their
holders are the custodians of humanitarianism
and culture.
1t is an opportune time to puncture this il
fusion.
A few years ago DR.. Abraham Epstein made
careful study of the benefactions of the rich
to the poor. He concluded that:
Among the masses of the well-to-do not
many give anything to charity, even in the most
generous city, New York. A negligible number
of rich individuals support all charities. The
vast bulk of the wealthy contribute next to
none"
A leading Christian journal is authority for
the statement that no less than rs per cent Of
all money received as gifts for private charity
comes from those with incomes Of less than
$4,000 year.
Similarly with the notion that much of the
wealth OF the country goes into foundations de-
voted to science, medicine, social work, mental
hygiene, and other socially useful services, DR..
Epstein tells us that
The benevolence of dozen individuals such
as Carnegie, the Rockefelers, Hardness, RoSen-
valid and few others account for a considerable
proportion of existing foundations Of the esti-
mated S1000,000,000 now available in these funds,
the gifts Of the ROckefellerS and Andrew Car
negie alone make up three-fourths of the total"
So much for individual rich men and women.
What about corporate gifts? Corporations are
alleged to have a heart-at least enough to quail
ify them as persons to get the benefit of the
due process" clause of the Fourteenth amend
ment But they do not have so much of heart
when it comes to gifts to the less fortunate.
TINE NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC
Il RESEARCH once made study of the gifts
Of corporations to community chests in repre-
sentative American cities. The total even in
the prosperous year of 1929 amounted to only
D per cent of the whole. Nor do corporate gifts
increase with corporate prosperity. In the cities
covered by this study the number of contribut-
ing corporations doubled from 1920 to 1929. yet
the total receipts from all in 1929 were only
little more than per cent greater than in 1920
This az the end of the most proSperous-for
corporations decade in our history.
Finally, in our discussions of the charity of
the rich to the poor, usually lose sight of the
extensive, if voluntary, charity of the poor What
the poor give in their lifetime is admirably stated
by Gilbert Seldes in his brochure Against Rev.
olution"
The poor have given what is perhaps most
precious to them, their security and their peace
of mind, and have lived their lives precariously,
always on the edge of danger uncertain of the
next days food or the next months rent, ter
rified of living lest they lose their Jobs and
terrified Of dying lest their wives and children
Starve"

FORMER LEGION COMMANDER
LAUDED BY SUBSCRIBER

By c. w. Ardery.
AS a constant, but over-enthusi-
ast'c reader of The Times, 1 can
r out resent the letter captioned
Legion Members Really Should Be
Sincere" by 'Anti-Bonus," in your
issue of June 25.
Edward Hayes, former American
Legion commander, was, it is true,
prominent figure at the Repub-
lican Grass Roots" convention. Ed
Hayes needs no defense, he would be
a prominent figure wherever he ap-
pears, but 1 can not conceive where
his actions at the Grass Roots"
convention places the good old
American Legion on the spot" Ed
Hayes is 81, white and a citizen and
voter in this country, and as such
has a perfect right to voice his
opinion as to the rights or wrongs
of the present Administration.
For the information Of Anti
Bonus" Ed Hayes, during his year
as commander of the American Lee
gion did more for the disabled SOL
der than any previous national
commander and I venture the
statement that had full payment of
the adjusted compensation been on
the legislative agenda during his
year, there would have been diff
ferent outcome.
am wondering what would be
the attitude Of "Anti-Bonus" if he
was the holder of an adjusted COM
pensation certificate. Would it be
any different than that of the vet
eran, whom he claims as being in
sincere to his government, and who
is at present unemployed and in
debt?
The veteran has been accused of
everything, but his sincerity in his
love for his country is something of
which he should not be deprived.
