Black to Get Free Hand

Practically all parties concerned in the dispute over the Senate lob- b committees right to subpoena telegrams are agreed that Chairman Hugo Black of Alabama is a very smart man.
 Whatever your opinion of the ethics involved, consensus in Washington is that Blacks recent counter moves have been good as strategic maneuvers. Loaded down with bad publicity by legal and other protests from Liberty Leagues and William Randolph Hearst-whO objected to Blacks perusa- of their teIegrams-Black first diverted public attention and got the spectators all stirred up again by rcTealing that six con- gressmen had lived last summer with a power trusp lobbyist.
 Then he achieved his master coup by making available to Rep John J. McSwain tDem., S. O., an alleged copy of a telegram which Hearst by court action had sought to suppress. The results were scarcely less than terrific as the popular McSwain, quavering into the heights of melodrama, read Hearst's description of him in a message to an e.:::Eial writer as "e Communist in spirit and a traitor in effect"
 The House roared its approval of McSwain, who in 1917, at the age of 42, volunteered to go to war as private and returned a captain.
 He is member of the Sons of the Revolution, Sons of the Con- federacy, American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars and pacifists have called him "the worst jingo in the House"
 No man suggested that the tele- gram was private" and shouldn't have been in McSwain's hands. No- body cared. One of "the boys" had been attacked! And the reaction of the House spelled out the fact that, insofar as Congress was con- cerned, Black would have a free hand and all the money he wanted for his investigation.

Washington, March Donald R. Richberg is back on the inside again.
 Once known as assistant presi- dent," chief New Deal co-ordinator and head of the National Emer- gency Council, he disappeared from White House huddles as well as from the public gaze after the U. s. Supreme Court swung at MIRA in its famous decision on Richbergs pet Schechter case.
 But now he has again become such a court favorite-without pub- licity that other insiders who don't like MT. Richberg are begin- ming to grumble.
 Richberg wrote most of the presi- dents relief message to Congress, which called for cooperation by private industry to increase em- ployment.
 Don't be surprised if he soon re- ceives an important appointment under the Department of Justice and subsequently, appears both be- fore the supreme court on New Deal cases and before the public with prO-New Deal campaign speeches.
 Although his friends thought he had been treated shabbiIy by being dropped after taking many "raps" for the administration, Richberg never became bitter.
 1de began series of speeches supporting Roosevelt on the con- stitutional issue and relations be- gan to warm up again when, as head of the National Progressive League, he caustically criticized Al Smiths Liberty League speech.
 His job used to be to conciliate industrialists and business men with the New Deal and he prob ably will resume that function.

~s-s
 quake shock in the San Francisco area destroyed water connections and when fire broke out 1t ragged for three days, driving before it a helpless population. Even dyna- mite used to half the flames gave out, and artillery was brought in to clear paths that would. stop the rush. There were 45O dead, and one-third of the city, including all the business section, lay in ruins. No sooner had the debris cooled than many buildings which had withstood both shock and fire were reoccupied, and the rebuilding ot the city began. Modern steel build- ings, resistant to earth shock and fireproof, rose on the ruins, and modern San Francisco fears lloth- ing today, but goes ahead with the two finest bridges in the world and a triumphant exposition.
 Dayton Made Safe
 In 1913, Dayton, Ohio, suffered $100 100000 of damage, and saw 400 people die in the lower Miami River valley when flood swept down to- ward tho Ohio.
 But Daytonians buckled down and decided to do something about it. A system of dams were devised at a cost of 32,000, ,O0O, stream beds were strengthened and widened, and the basin made so proof against floods that 1t has never had worry all this spring, when Ohio and Mis- sissippi river towns have either been inundated or crouched behind bar riers and waited.
 Chicago, Galveston, Baltimore, San Francisco, Dayton all those are names that mean not only the courage to rise again from disaster, but the intelligence to take steps that mean it will not happen again."

Radical Party BOOmed

Radicals promoting national Farmer-Labor party now hope to have their presidential ticket on the ballot next November in about half the states.
 UnAnn0unced tentative plans look toward a preliminary confer- ence following a call for a natiOn- al party by the Minnesota Farm er-LabOr party. That conference would plan for g national organ izing and nominating convention on July 4, probably in Chicago.
 Effort will be made to line up all elements which are too radical to support Roosevelt, including fol- lowers of Dr. Townsend, Father Coughlin, and the late Huey Long. The Communists will be among the most active promoters of the party.

 Up from smoulering ashes, up from all-pervading blankets of mud and slime, up from heaps of ruins, have risen some of Americas finest cities.
 Fire and flood and hurricane have only spurred the American urge to build bigger and finer than ever before. Pittsburgh is seeing that spirit today. The Allegheny and Monongahela and Ohio river, as they subsided, carried away the water belched by chugginG pumps from hundreds of buildings. Swish of broom and scrape of shovel drowned out the rush of waters as soon as the flood crest had passed. In the east, Hartford and Spring field, on the Connecticut river, are also cleaning out, with all the other flood-ridden cities and towns.
 Every great American city stricken by such disaster has emerged greater and more splendid than be- fore.
 You might even say that the Chi cago of today was born from the flames of the horror of 1871, when, for 27 hours, fire ragged unchecked and uncheckable across the old wooden-built city.
 Dead in the smoking ruins lay at least 250 people. Gone to ashes were 17,400 buildings, as thousands of refugees crouched in terror along the lake shore.

DOYOu
Still Believe
In Fairies?
MEzzJe MMM!

The time for viewing the world fairy where bold
knights kdnap color Prncesses and take them to some
eudal CASTLE has long passed out Of pattern OF lite.
But many people in Hendersonville and Henderson
county still believe they do better by trading in larger
cities They are urged to read this message -:
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-09-12

You and your neighbOr both profit when you trade at
home, because:
lit costs cents mile to operate an automobile
1.-THE hazards of travelling increase with distance
Sit takes time to visit other towns. Time thus
spent is wasted.
4-Contagious diseases are more easily contracted
in crowds.
5-The more local merchants sell, the more taxes
they pay-thus reducing your own tax bill.
6.-Rents and clerks salaries cost less at home
hence cheaper prices
7-Incidental expenses created when you go out OF
town-parking, lunch etc.-add much to the cost
of the trip.
S.-Loca merchants don't use high pressure meth
DDS to make sales
9-Extra energy is consumed on trips, thus causing
your work at home to suffer.
1O-YOur fellow citizens will think more of you if
you are loyal to your community.
There are rare occasions that require Out-Of-tOWn
buying, but always TRY AT HOME FIRST
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-09-12

It's great fun to watch the chubby hands of children low
ngy caress the paythings that mythical old gentleman
has brought them from land that legend has placed na
ar-away north corner Of the world But do not prog
ress and have our being dreams We deal hard facts
Dollars and cents unless we fall into the costly habit
Of trading with the peddler doOrseps or the mail
order house in distant city.
