QN.S0.-Completing its second
westward crossing Of the Atlantic,
the giant German dirigible
Hindenburg landed at the Naval
Air Station here at 500 a, m.
(E.S.T) today.
Lack Of adequate weather re-
ports was blamed by Capt. Ernst
Lahmann, commander of the air
ship, for the comparatively slow
time the Hindenburg made on
the westward crossing. He esti-
mated the elapsed time as rs hours
and 80 minutes.
In spite of q Swirling ground
wind, which for a time threat
ened to assume such proportions
as to make mooring impossible,
the Hindenburg was brought to
an almost perfect landing by
Capt. Ernst Lehman.
The airShip did not circle New
York city before landing, as it did
on its first flight here 10 days
ago. Delayed considerably by head
winds over the ocean, which for
a time reduced its speed to 40
knots, the Hindenburg came over
the New Jersey coast Just north
of Atlantic City and headed di-
rectly for LakehurSt.

Not His Uncle's Keeper &. . Story VIII
Not SWitch Votes =. The Big
Drive Is Coming

WASHINGTON man has ever been de-
MED the presidency because of his uncle's occu-
patton.
The effort of Pennsylvania Democrats to
strike al GOV. ALI Landon by publici2ing the
fact that his uncle William T. MoSsman, is
lobbyist for the ant-labor Jones & Laughln
Steel Corporation can hardly be expected to
switch many votes.
Even if it is proved as charged, that Moss
man worked effectively against relief and social
security measures in the Pennsylvania legiSa-
ture, no fair-minded person will blame the Kan
But the attack is a prelude, nevertheless
to concerted New Deal effort to picture Lam
don as a pal or tool of the big interests
One phase of this attempt will come in
connection with Landon's anticipated early cam
paign speech at his birthplace, West MiddleseH,
Mercer county, Pa.
Mercer county is in the congressional dis
trict of CONGRESSMAN Dennis j. Driscon who.
in the famous Elmer incident first revealed
that electric power companies were causing bales
of fake kilograms to be sent to Congress against
the Wheeler -Rayburn holding company bill.
Power companies have joined with Joe
Grundy's PENNSYLVANIA Manufacturers Assoca-
ton in the effort to beat Driscoll this year
and Democrats will use the expected Landon
rally to try to tie the Republican candidate in
with the power interests and the effort to lick
Driscoll.
Perhaps Secretary of Commerce Daniel c.
Roper is more helpful to the president than are
the other cabinet members. Or perhaps not.
Cabinet members and others have been
making suggestions or recommendations Tor
membership on the Maritime Authority, whose
lob will be to build up and supervise the Amer
lean merchant marine Hardly anyone Sug-
gested more than five names.
But Uncle Dan submitted ll8 names! Wheth-
er any of them were underlined or asterlSked
isn't known. But it's understood that the
secretary had told quite number OF people
that he would be glad to mention them to the
president for such a job and he seems to have
kept his promises.
Evidence of the bitterness of internal dis
Sension in organized labor was provided during
the recently settled strike of The United Elec-
trical and Radio Workers, new industrial
union at the RCA plant in Camden, N. j.
The International Brotherhood OF Electrical
Workers, craft union represented On the A.
r of L, executive council had at least 80 repre-
sentatives in Camden, seeking to break the
strike.
Just before the walkout, President William
Green of the A F. of L. telephoned David
Sarnoff of RCA and urged him to make no
agreement with the strikers
John L. Lewis and the Committee Tor In

but not openly, preferrng not to get into hght

TRUE WORDS ABOUT
BOOKKEEPING

Now that the political hullabaloo has
subsided and the recent resignation of
John r. McCarl after Is years service
as comptroller general of the United
States can be considered in calmer
light, it appears that McCarl spoke ut
terly true words when he said that IAN
accounting office absolutely and utter
ly free of politics is essential in nation
al government. His office was free of
politics during McCarls tenancy; it is
to be hoped that it is allowed to remain
free of politics.
The veriest tyro can well see the op-
portunities for abuse if once politics
gained a controlling hand in the office
of comptroller general. The most illegal
expenditure, the rashest of political
Vaccinations, could be carried out with
out so much as a breath of protest. 1t
is essential to the safety of the common
American pocketbook that McCarl's
place be filled with a man of unques-
tionable honesty and unbiased viewpoint.
The retiring comptroller generals
blast against the New Deal can be for
gotten in consideration of his recon-
mendation for an unsullied, non-politi-
cal regime in the office he held so long.
Such a regime is not only desirable, 1t
is absolutely necessary to protect the
people of America from themselves, as
represented by the politicians they elect
to office, regardless of the party they
represent.

THE COUNTRY STILL
NEEDS MORE HOMES

In almost every nook and Granny OF
the United States, as we'll as in Imperial
Valley, building boom is in progress,
recent reports have indicated. 1t is bad
ly needed. Those who might fear that
the country will over-build have only
to consider the records.
Only one-sixth as many new houses
were built from 1880 to 1885 as in the
period from 1921 to 1880, federal rec
ords show. The increase in the number
of families, following the normal trend,
should have been SO per cent OF the
average rate from 1920 to 1890. For 10
consecutive years from 1885, building
construction in the United States snow
ed a decided downward trend, hitting
bottom in 1884, when expenditures on
new residential buildings were estimated
at three cents for every dollar spent on
similar operations in 1925.
We have long way to go to catch up.

THE FARMER STANDS
ON HIS OWN FEET AGAIN

Farmers in the ninth district, compris-
ing California, Arizona, Nevada and
Utah, are paying back money borrowed
from the rural rehabilitation division
of the Resettement Administration,
many of them meeting their payments
before they are due There has been no
more cheering agricultural announce
ment in recent weeks.
The farmer has been given his chance
to pull out of the slough of economic
despond-and he is doing it. Times are
better all along the line, and once again
the farmer finds himself able to look
man and Nature in the face, and pay
his way. He is only too glad of the
chance. AT the base of the worlds eco
nomic structure is agriculture Without
prosperity in agriculture, there can be
no lasting prosperity in industry. The
latest indication that farmers are once
again able to meet their obligations and
show a profit on their operations there
from is a cheerful one to every busi-
ness man.
The rural rehabilitation program fill
ed a yawning need in the agricultural
life of the country. There were farmers
good farmers, too-whose backs were
pressed to the wall They needed finan-
cial assistance, and they got it. Now
they are repaying their debt even before
it falls due, and that fact alone is
tribute to the hardihood of the Ameri-
can farmer

THE G-MEN GET PENSIONS
(TuIare Advance Register)

With scarcely a dissenting voice, Congress
recently achieved the amazing distinctions ot
having a law that will meet with unanimous
approval throughout the country.
They voted to provide pensions for G-men.
Now those fearless federal agents who trans
mogrified all the staggering Dllingers, Camp
bells and F1oyds into a pack of covering crlng-
ing hyenas and then wiped them out shortly
after, are certainly deserving Of this considera-
ton.
The surprising thing is that we've overlooked
for so long this business of making provision
for their declining years. Members of all other
law enforcing bodies have always had such
provision.
Chief Oman J. Edgar Hoover, when inform
ed of the congressional action, said:
"Im highly gratified. When our men go
out after such men as Dillinger Karpis or
Campbell they never know whether they'll
come back alive. Surely they des erye pension
privileges Just as much as other peace officers.
It is probable that nowhere in the nation
will there be a dissenting Voice to this observ-
alton After all, the country was infested with
big time gangsters until the federals moved in
And now the big-timers are 50 scarce they can
not find a candidate eligible for the unhealthy
role of public enemy number l.
Let it never be said that America does not
appreciate the work of the G-men.
