JUST An OLD WOMAN

1t is not right perhaps that eonsidera-
tion for one person should act as a stun
bling block in the path of progress of a
great community, yet it certainly seems
to us that a great community in a civil
lied nation could find some way of car
ing for 74-year-old woman whose home
and everything she has Is swept away by
the demands of the community'S prog
reSS.
Mrs. Vivian D. Maben is a pioneer Los
Angeles woman who for more than 30
years has lived in a modest little home,
on land belonging to the Los Angeles
park department. She was "squatter,'
and under the law had no right to be
where she was.
All the long years the park depart
ment had no use for the land and she re-
manned their unmolested. Expansion Of
the city eventually made it necessary to
extend a street directly across the path
occupied by her little home. She fought
attempts to evict her in the courts and
lost.
Thursday the officers of the law came,
removed her pathetic little supply of
furniture into the road and forced her
to leave home. She had one cent in her
pockets and she is without a relative IN
the world. Out of the kindness of its
great heart the park department permit
ted her to sell the house to a Wrecklng
company and keep the money-S30.
The city, of course, was eminently right
in its course of action and SO was the
park department. There can be no dis
pute on that score If one views it only
from a legal angle. But great COM
munity which can view this matter sole
ly from a legal angle and ignores any
moral obligation to a friendless and
homeless old woman of IA years, can
only be considered contemplate iii the
eyes of those who believe that there is
such thing as humanitarianism.
Among some savage tribes and some
so-called "civilized" races of old, it was
the custom to Danish the old or even to
kill them in order to get them out of the
way. Most of US thought that thing was
no longer done, yet the great city Of Los
Angeles has, in this instance, given us
proof that the barbarous custom still eX-
lists today.
We can only say shame" to a city
which can spend thousands of dollars to
decorate its streets when convention
comes to town; to a park department
which can spend more thousands build
ing and maintaining bride p h S
shane" on a community which permits
expense" accounts to its officials, any
one of which would keep this poor old
soul in comfort for the few remaining
years of her life.
'It can't be DONE legally? We know
that too, but so many other undesirable
things are done illegally that we are Ger
tain there would be nothing really illeg-
al about an illegal action that would take
care of one poor old woman. Hypocrisy
chooses such peculiar times to become
sanctimonious.

BE CONSISTENT. ARTHUR


Daily the eminent Mr.. Arthur Bris-
bane writes a column read by millions.
all OF whom can vouch for the assertion
that his constant and consistent advice
to nation might be summed M as
Planes, planes and more planes: more
pilots to fly them intensive flvinq train
ing Tor the army and the navy: planes
and pilots enough to make the United
States supreme in the air. =
Now not directly, but inferentially.
Mr. Brisbane scolds because six navy
flyers perished in the fleet maneuvers
now coming to a close in the Pacific.
Mr.. Brisbane wants to know if navy
flying rules are made by pilots who un-
derstand flying or by men who never
fly; who issues and sustains the rule that
compels flyers to keep almost as close
together as marching infantry; why in
peace time should the flyer risk his life
by 'wing-to-wing' flying thereby invit-
ing disaster
Dispatches sent out by three different
news agencies, including the one headed
by Mr.. Brisbane's employer, report that
the plane which cracked up" had last
reported itself circling around in the air
above a sister plane which had met trou-
Bile and was forced down into the sea.
There was no 'wing-to-wing" flying.
The plane had wide expanse of air in
which to travel; there was no report of
crash with another plane What actu-
ally caused the disaster will never be
known. Navy men, familiar with such
things, reported from the fleet that the
plane evidently had gone into spin
close to the water and had no chance to
avoid a fall into the sea.
Mr. Brisbane objects to planes keep
ing close together during flights and
maneuvers. Would he have them streak
ing through the air in catch-as-catch-can
style? Formation flying is what pre-
vents disaster and does not cause it.
Even Mr.. Brisbane should know that.
AS for the orders under which navy
flyers work, and which Mr.. Brisbane
questions, it might be pointed out that
Admiral Reeves, head of the United
States fleet, is recognized as an out
standing man in naval aviation. Under
him and in charge of naval aviation are
men who won their ranks at the stick Of
airplanes.
It is regrettabe that six men died, but
we cannot cOncede that their deaths were
caused by carelessness, improper train
ing or undesirable conditions existing in
the fleet. Nor can we concede that
rocking chaf aVlaGOrS, INTO Whlcn class
Mr. Brisbane falls, know more about the
proper method of training flyers than
men who have devoted their lives to the
work and who have brought honor and
glory to their country by their feats in
the air.
The objective on which Mr.. Brisbane
pounds in his column can only be achiey-
ed by just such maneuvers as that in
which these six men died and the kind
of training they permit.
