ANOTHER ROGUES' GALLERY

THE old racket Of selling worthless secur-
Il tiles continues but
The Securities and Exchange Commission
IS giving the racketeers run for their money
such as they never before experienced.
Complaints against sellers Of worthless

The result has been the elimination Of some
zoo dealers. the indictment OF scores OF others.
Several are now repoSing in Jail.
So extensive is this racket that the SEC

Having read an article regard
ing the situation at the Indianap-
oils Bleaching Co. plant, I would
like to say something in defense
of the management.
To begin with, 1 never could see
the common laborer was very
greatly benefited by the NRA. On
the other hand, it always appeared
to me that the ones who derived
the greater benefit from the NRA
were the ones who were fortunate
in securing the office positions, or
in other words, those who were
supposed to find employment for
those who we're in need of it.
It was my misfortune to be out
of steady employment and was
one of the first to place my ap-
plication, yet I never succeeded
in getting any kind of work. l
think I must have placed my APP
plication about three or four times.
Each time I received a promise of
work, yet when I returned they
seemed to have forgotten the pre-
viouS application.
There was a project under way
on White River near my home. I
made coffee and sold it to a num-
Der of the employees. One of the
officials ordered me to stop. I

way I could make any money at
that time.

The Book World

CENTER OF quite a little attention the last
~ week or so has been a highly unusual adven-
ttIre story The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. by
B. Trsven CKnopf. $3.50. Mr. Traven, author of
The Death Ship" has unwound a story not I'M
usual because Of its adventure theme, but be-
cause it bears a ring Of truth and because its
characters are so masterfully drawn.
Absorbing though it is. the book never seems
to touch on the sensational. II is a story with
hard edges and more than a little insight into
human nature.
Dobbs battered by life. has the underdog
complex and never gets over it. He teams up with
hard customer named Curtin and an old pros
pector Howard. The trio makes long trip to the
Sierra Madre where they get to work. They strike
pay dust and the resulting developments make
gripping reading.
Mr. Traven has SHE'D away from lacking a
fancy ending to his tale and it ends just the
story readS-hard as nails. 1t is fine book and
one that deserves reading.
A BOOK that has been out for some time and
N that has drawn a wide measure of praise is
Vincent Sheeans Personal History" Mr.. Sheean
is a newspaper man who has been globe-trotting
fer some few years and always managing to have
ructions breaking out right under his feet.
Personal History" is an extremely well-done
autobiography and his first-hand portrayal of
the Arab-Jewish riots in Palestine forms splen-
did reporting. 1t is an exceedingly worthwhile
volume.
A UNITED PRESS dispatch from Milan, Italy,
"A today disclosed that Gabrielle D'Annunzio,

ERRORS CONTAINED IN
EDITORIAL, READER SAYS

By George E. Stewart.
With reference to the editorial,
"Slums Still Stand" in your June IL
issue, this article is all right in the
main. But don't you know that
nearly all folk living in the So
called "slums" are now on some
form of relief and rarely do they
make $40 a week. The average is
probably SIS.
Tt is ridiculous to even talk about
81 a month a room, let alone 81.
The average "Slum district" prop
erty rents for closer to 81 room.
You should send out two or three
investigators into cheap districts and
you will find that they don't aver
age 50 a room a month.
Then why not rewrite the article
or editorial, pointing out the fact
that the true situation is "hope-
less" so long as average wages Of
average persons in slum districts is
so low.

WANTS REPUBLICAN OR
DEMOCRAT AS PRESIDENT

BY Times Reader.
There Must Be a Limit" is The
best editorial and the biggest mouth
full you have said in a long time.
Now don't go to sleep again, since
you have. wakened. Now, if you
really mean there must be a limit,
then use your newspaper to defeat
Franklin Roosevelt, the Soviet So
cialiSt, or whatever he is and help
elect a Democrat or Republican for
1886.
Outside of those depending on
political jobs, no one really cares if
it's a Democrat or Republican, so
long as he is a practical or business
man, a man who does not want to
change our form of government, but
one that will aid business, so there
will be work for the multitudes that
are living on relief. Of course, bust
ness was getting better in 1882 and
if it had not been interfered with
by this theoriSt and the radicals he
has advising him, business, like ma
ture, which takes it's course, would
be in good shape by now.
We also know that Mr.. Hoover
had the House against him and
would not give him any help. Mr..
Hoover was even humble enough to
invite Mr.. Roosevelt to make sug-
gestions before he left Office. But
no, the Soviet wanted to see us go
down and out to make himself a
dictator
Now remember, if business must
be under government control, the
press also must be under govern
ment control. There must be no
special privileges, remember, or the
barbados will be in the streets. So
back to the good old Constitution,
with a Democrat or Republican AS
President. But no theorist, radical,
Soviet. Socialist. etc.
There is power in free press, so
if you think it's time to limit this
useless spending except for real re-
lief, then get to work and do your
share.
What do you think of the $26,903,-
162 AAA? What do you get for not
printing papers and not taking adj
vertising?

as I never had years schooling in
all my young life, but think you
can understand what I mean.
This government has lost our pros

There is just one way to bring back
prosperity and one only, and if the
United States takes two more years
to find it where it was never lost
some others will be looking for it
that won't be quite so pleasant, as
The Times editor said, or words to

Now, Mr.. Editor. I am not going

the only way to get it back. If I

SPEEDWAY TRAFFIC PLANNERS

to this unnecessary tieup of traffic,
are certainly not going to agree
with by a Reader" that the men
in charge should be congratulated
for having put forth their best.
Speedway BUSES, unloading their
passengers at 10th and Main-sts,
forcing them to walk about seven
blocks to the Speedway track en-
trance. is also not very congratulary
to the men who planned or handled
the traffic at Speedway City on that
date, although I am willing to ad-
nit that those who planned the
traffic arrangement for that date are
more at fault than the men on the
ground who handled the job.

M'NUTT SCORED FOR OLD-AGE
PENSION FARCE"

BY 4 Citizen.
The old-age pension farce con-
tinues to function just as Gov. Nc
Mutt intended when he hung his
emergency clause on to the law to
pension aged men and women.
This same emergency clause has
been invoked to balance budgets and
other items Of convenience at the
expense of that class for which it
was intended to furnish relief and
whose age and infrmities make the
earning Of a living an impossibility.
What would happen if any cog in
the pay roll machinery failed to
mash properly whereby his excel
lency would fail to receive any part
of his $4,000 annual salary or the
same thing we're to happen to the
legion of appointeeS under him, in
GLIDING dozens of useless parasites
or barnacles hanging on the ship
of state? Nothing would be omit
ted, including an extra session Of
the Legislature, if necessary, to
remedy such an unfortunate over
sight or defect.
It is a disgrace to the state of In
diana that a deliberate action Of
this kind was permitted. to prevent
the aged poor from getting one cent
that was justly due them. that the
nests of political nondescripts, who
absolutely earn nothing Of impor-
lance or contribute anything to the
welfare or dignity of the state and
who would be the first TO go under
a change of administration, are SO
easily feathered.

the audience the mind, soul and
heart of the great dancer more
earnestly. But it wasn't by great
acting that Mr.. Milholland achieved
this. 1t was by the much more diff
ficult medium of feeling his role SO
deeply as to figuratively breathe it
into his watchers without need for
perfect expression.
Too many orchids can not be
tossed to Frederick Burleigh and
his splendid Civic Theater crew,
which produced "Faun" in a highly
professional manner The ballets,
under the hand of Anna Ludmila
have taken on polish which could
be achieved in few cities outside of
New York Director Burleigh has
handled the sets for "Faun" with as
much simplicity as he dared"
The ship deck set for Scenes 2. 3
and 4 of Act l is an exceptionally
we'll done piece of stage craft. The
backstage set for Scene l, Act 3. is
also very good. But it is the final
scene set, Valsky's Switzerland re-
treat which reaches the acme of the
"Faun'S' stage art.
Green Does His Best Work
Norman Green's delineation of
the character of Sergayeff, Valsky's
manager who loved him furiously
with the love of friend who knows
his worth to the world of art. is the
outstanding role in the Civic's cast.
1t is the best work Mr.. Green has
done in his many years with the
local theater.

St9ncn members of the cast.
One is not able to predict how
such a play as 'Faun" would be re-
ceived on Broadway. 1t is a, play for
posterity, just as Valsky was a
genius for posterity, in an art which
is only now coming into it's own
However, if 'Faun" never goes be-
yond the narrow confines of its
initial production here, the world
assuredly will be better off because
1t has been written. Since we are
so sure of that, we are led to believe
that there is a producer somewhere
who will not let it stay hidden, will
not allow it to be tossed into the
