A KING COMES BACK

II ING GEORGE II has been recalled to Greece
IN by majority so large that persons of a suspi-
cious nature might say it hardly was convincing Ac-
cording to the United Press the count stood 900
for the monarchy and 49, against it, That is about
As to l.
Only last March a rebellion was in full swing
against the return of the king fortnight ago there
were rumors of troop movements to put down SIM
liar agitation in Crete
Perhaps the manner of voting contributed to the
one-sidedness of the pebscte Press reports say it
was by open ballot-a blue ticket for the monarchy
and red one for the republic. AS the government
just had been seized by Gen. Kondylis who became
dictator regent pending the return of King George
it required than little nerve to step up to the
ballot box and publicly scarlet ticket against
the incoming regime.
We hope we are wrong and that the something

pie IN the world nearly 100 per cent for their

Marriage Us. City Library

By Reader
Emotional prejudice and I'M
thinking stupidity are obviously
debating the marriage policy ap-
plying to female staff employees of
our indianapolis public libraries.
Promptly discharged is any I'M
married staff member who would
follow the dictates of nature and
civilization by entertaining the
marital bond. Fitness for duty,
length of service or economic de-
pendence are all futile pleas when
made in this court which enforces
the marriage ban.
The prohibition of employment
for married women has long since
established its nonsenSicalness as
an economic recovery palliative,
and is no longer seriously consid-
cred by reputable business houses
demanding semi-p of e IS j on l
services. The fact that approx
mately 40 per cent, according to
my information. of the library
staff were married at the time the
ban took effect a few years ago
and that most of said number
continue in their employment
demonstrates that said law was

THE CHALLENGE

A MOTHER paroled prisoner has been arrested
In Chicago accused of serious crime and
again the prison experts are talking about what
to do.
The parole system is not condemned although
this accused evidently would have been better
off inside than outside, The problem is deeper than
that 1t has to do with myriad of contributory
problems and causes
We not reasonable respectable youth
in poverty and misery We not produce in slums,
in hardship and family insecurity, the kind of men
needed to carry the nation forward
There will be always the unfortunate psyche
paths who commit atrocities. But there are others
who not mentally i'll, simply unable to compete
and sustain themselves properly because of bad
childhood environment. They can be and should be
reduced in number by improvement of our economic
system.
No money is wasted in giving children better
chance.
Society confines and Furnishes The next
step is prevention by operating social prob
lems-housing education, training. employment-as
clinic of surgeons might operate diseased body.
The challenge is greater than any America
has faced, In meeting the challenge of better
social order is the opportunity of young America.

THE JOHNSON CABINET

- cussion of the Presidents Cabinet He has in
dicated his notion of better men for some of the
posts, but not for all. 1t fairly clear however
that the ideal johnson Cabinet would read like this:
Secretary of State-Bernard Baruch.
Secretary of the Treasury-Carter Glass
Secretary of Agricuture-George Peek.
Secretary of Commerce-Gerard Swope
Postmaster General-James A. Farley.
Secretary of Iabor-Edward F. McGrady
Secretary of the Interior-Gen. Hugh S. Johnson
Secretary of the Mayhem. Hugh S. Johnson
Secretary of War-Gen. Hugh S. Johnson
Attorney General-Gen. Hugh S. johnson.
And of these, no doubt, all but the last four might
be subject to reconsideration.

CASTING ANOTHER VOTE
AGAINST THE BRITISH

BY War Leader Victorious
The party signing himself "Ar-
thur" in your Forum, certainly hit
the nail on the head, regarding the
hypocrisy of the British.
Their attitude in the Italian
Ethiopian embroglio is indefensihle
in the light of their own actions in
the past. Did they ever hesitate to
appropriate the best territories on
this earth, that they felt could be
conquered with the least damage to
their military establishment?
All their more noteworthy con-
quests were made when there was
no point to the plea, so often made
today, that they must expand OF
perish. Populations all over the
world were less than half what they
are today, so there was no over
crowding.
What possible fault can the Brit
ish find with Italian procedure II
setting out to find "a place in the
sum-" when, in the majority OF in
stances, they have had the same
ideas, and used the same phrases ir
explaining their objective in making
conquest?
The time has come to call a halt
to British hypocrisy. An humbing
of British arrogance Ghe most Of
fensive there isl would have salu-
tary effect on the whole world. If it
were not for the British Navy, with
its cowing effect upon all the peoples
of the earth, Britain would have nc
more influence on the affairs Of the
world than, say, Albania, and there
are millions who hope that the day
will come when this will be so.

BOTH MAY BE WRONG

FLETCHER and Farley, chairmen of their respec-
tive national party organizations, seem TO know
exactly what the returns from Tuesdays off-year
elections mean. They offer without hesitation their
clear interpretations Fletcher rejoces in sweeping
reputation of Roosevelt and the New Deal Farley
rejoces in sweeping vindication of Roosevelt and
the New Deal
They can't both be right--but they can both be
wrong. Which is probably the case.
Take Kentucky, for example. There the Demo-
cratic Party split wide open with the incumbent
Democratic Governor openly campaigning for the Re-
publican gubernatorial nominee. Despite this New
Deal Democrat, A. B. Chandler, won the governor
ship. That tickled Farley. For didn't Mr. Chandler
run on a me and Roosevelt" platform? But Mr.
Swope, the Republican candidate conducted his cam
paen local issues and refrained from criticsing

sides tried to pitch the battle on New Deal issue

The Republicans were gaining back what gerryman-
dered Assembly districts had enabled them to hold
through countless Democratic landsides in the last
two generations.
In these Assembly races the Democrats
polled about 100000 popular votes than the Re-
pubicans did. That cheered Farley. for didn't it in
dicate that the Democrats would also carry the state
as whole in the presidential election next yearp
But it is doubtful if many of New York's voters
were Intentionally voting either for against the

the idea of the boys being made pawns like the
whippets on dog tracks and the race horses.
The new betting college football is described
as similar to that races. Amounts involved are
estimated at millions of dollars week

win by brbing players but the whole thing throws
a shadow across the college gridirons

THE BALTIMORE DECISION

DEING mere laymen we wouldn't venture to crltl-
~ else the reasoning behind Judge Coleman's de-
csion that the utility holding company law is "un-
constitutional in its entirety"
But even laymen may have opinions concerning
the propriety of public proceedings. So we wish to
review the history of this particular proceeding, to
the end that our readers may not be too surprised
at the outcome,
The American States Public Service Co. is a bank
rupt holding company. At the time the holding COM
pany law passed by Congress, this bankrupt con-
Germ was being reorganized under supervision of the
Federal Court in Baltimore. The trustees decided
that the new law made invalid the reorganization
plan on which they working So the lawyers for
the trustees went into court and asked Judge Cole
man to rule the law unconstitutional. These lawyers
incidentally also have as clients other holding
panies interested in nvaldating the law.
Into this proceeding came another well-known
utility lawyer, John W. Davis who asked leave to
intervene not of course in the name of the Edison
Electric Institute, which employed him, but, If the
court please, in the name of Baltimore dentist,
whom Mr.. Davis had never seen or talked to, but
who, conveniently for the purpose at hand, hap
pened to own what had once been $500 worth of
bonds in the American States Public Service Co. Mr.
Davis also prayed that the Judge rule the law
stitutional.
Il HEN in came a third party, Burco Inc, holder
of what had been sl50,00O worth of bonds IN
the bankrupt company and represented by another
utility lawyer This lawyer had opposed passage of
the holding company act. But into this case he
stepped. not as the laws critic, but it's defender
He prayed the court to hold the law constitutional
SO there they stood--three parties to the proceed
ing all represented by utility lawyers, two attacking
the law and one defending it,
Meanwhile the Securities and Exchange Commits
sion, charged with administering the law, decided
that the public should say something about the

plenty. But that all they could do about it,
And that's all they do about it now, for the

peaing The to the Supreme Court. In fact, no

To File Gas Bill
A bill authorizing the state to
wholesale gasoline and develop its
own petroleum wells will be filed in
the legislature, w. H. Pemberton,
special assistant attorney general,
announced today.
Pemberton made public details of
the redrafted gasoline wholesaling
bill which was introduced in the
1888 session. The bill will be spon-
sored by independent progressive
clubs and independent gasoline
dealers.
Under provisions of the measure,
if existing oil companies refused to
sell gasoline to the state, the state
finance committee, which would ad-
minister the business" could de-
velop it's own wells within the state.
The state would enter the gas
wllolesaling business when the COM
mittee decided a conspiracy" exist
ed among oil companies to boost
prices. A general manager drawing
$4,000 salary would be appointed.
The committee would borrow
$3.50 900 from the motor vehicle fund
at five per cent interest to set up
the state in the gas and oil business.
1t would be authorized to issue S.
100000 in six per cent bonds, to be
repaid out of profits and used for
expansion.
