TOURISTS BECOMING DISCERNING
Pasadena Star-NeM

Developments of recent years have con-
vinced many California business leaders that
if the state is to continue to hold predomi-
nant place as tourist objective, it must adopt
more comprehensive methods for inviting and
interesting these visitors.
1t is not that the Golden State is losing any
of its charm, but competition is becoming more
keen From Maine to Washington across the
northern tier of states, and from Florida to Ari-
zona resorts and regions are bidding for the
favor of travellers Canada is another active
competitor; while Mexico with its new roads
and more or less systematic campaign for at
tracing visitors makes special call for Califor-
mia bound motorists. Other Latin American
countries also are telling Of their lures; and
Hawaii is making great progress as tourist
playground.
There need be no fear that California will
be deserted by the travelling. The state of
1000 wonders, with its famed beaches and islands
big trees and great diversity of plant life, with
Yosemite Lake Tahoe and many other scenic
rarties with the finest system of highways in
the country and with superior accommodations,
exceptional recreational and amusement fea-
lures, will not lose its appeal; but as new ave-
nues open, the growing desire to see strange
lands. to take by-paths is accentuated by the
discernment which these many factors develop.
Probably there will not be any lessening
in the number Cf these visitors to California.
The point to keep in mind IS that this ira
vel as well as travel by rail, sea and air, is
gaining volume. California must strive to hold
its proper share of this business.

Presidential SideSh0Us Who Will
Be Speaker of the House? Tam
many Advances Candidate

WASHINGTON.-One of the chief sideshoWs
of the presidential campaign, although many
of the most important movements therein won't
be visible on the surface. is a grim struggle for
the speakerShip of the next House of Repre-
sentatiVeS
Technically. at least this is contest for
the Democratic floor leadership. But politicians
are figuring cold-bloodedly that the poor health
of Speaker William Bankhead of Alabama, for
mer floor leader who succeeded the late Speaker
Joseph w. Byrns, will not permit him to occupy
the floor leadership for very long
The candidates are Congressman Sam Ray
burn of Texas, backed tacitly by the administra-
ton. and Congressman John J. OConnor Tam
many representative from New York.
Rayburn is chairman of the House inter-
state commerce committee and OConnor is
chairman of the much more powerful rules
committee
appointment as chief of the Democratic speak
er's bureau for the campaign. Hardpressed
Democrats in many states will soon be beSeech-
ing him for oratorical aid and he will make
many more friends in the House before the
campaign is over.
o,Connor. meanwhile. has been stepping out
boldly toward his goal After the New York
delegation in Philadelphia had caucuSed and
agreed to vote for abrogaton OF the two-thirds
rule as desired by Roosevelt, 0Connor cast his
vote in the convention rules committee against
abrogaton He said he had never heard of the
caucus action. but it is commonly assumed that
he was seeking personal support from the south
OCOnn0rS frlendS also engineered pupACd-
tion in an Atlanta newspaper Of an editorial
saying that the south mustn't be too greedy
and that the House leadership should go to
northerner. They have since been circulating
copies widely.
One important aspect of the speakership
is that if Roosevelt should be beaten, the House
probably would still be Democratic and the
speaker would be his partys most highly placed
spokesman and leader
Talk in the state of Washington among LETT
wing Democrats about a vote to recall Senator
Lew Schwelenbach arises from another con-
vention incident
The Washington delegation caucused, elected
SchweIlenbach to the resolutions committee,
and ordered him to fight in committee for
production-for-use plank and the Townsend
plan and, if unsuccessful to carry the fight 10
the convention floor.
The caucus was held while the senator was
making radio speech and he felt 1t had been
called at that time on purpose.
So Schwellenbach told his political buddleS
to "go take dive and spent most OF conven-
ton week at Atlantic City. He wouldn't have
minded battling fer production-for-use plank
but drew the line at embarrassing the admin
istration by hopeless floor fight for the Town
send plan.

AND NOW COMES THE INSIDIOUS
WHISPERING CAMPAIGNS

That the insidious whispering cam
paigns already are sitting from mouth
to mouth indicates the oncoming nation
al election will become as vicious poll
tical combat as any seen in many dec
AIDES.
The whispering campaign is the low
est kind of political weapon. If an argu-
ment cannot be discussed on its own
merits, and if it cannot stand the white
light of day, it has no acceptance as Off
cial testimony and incurs the same stig-
ma as does the efforts of crook to elk
the jury" in a case of law.
Invariably such campaigns are not
founded on truth That is why they
must remain part hidden. Likewise they
pertain to personalities, appeal to racial
antagonism, or are founded on human
characteristics neither susceptible to
proof or disproof Whispering cam
paigns are to political argument, what
superstition is to reason. Their use IN
politics is as despicable as hitting below
the belt, stabbing in the back, or reyer-
sion to the tactics of dirty football"
It is to be hoped that everyone will
refuse to listen to or pass on this nefar-
ious form of political chain rumor.

POLITICS IN PAROLE
christian Science Monitorl

When J. Edgar Hoover chief G-man, resorts
to the term filthy scandal" to describe current
abuses in the American parole system, and Dr.
Sheldon Glueck, Harvard crimnologst, backs
this indictment while defending the theory of
probation and parole, their combined voices
should awaken America to the need of break
ing the hold of corrupt politics on justice.
At no point in the governmental machinery
does favoritsm and inefHcency strike harder
blows at society than in the naming Of political
henchmen as probation or parole officers. Both
probation and parole have worthy origins in
the desire to rehabilitate offenders Society,
through probation and parole, seeks to meet
the offender halfway. Yet neither the parole
nor society can benefit unless the parole Off
Ger measures up to the eXacting requirements
of his office. Mr. HooYers statement that nearly
every Oman slain in service has been shot by
criminals out on parole illustrates tragically the
danger to society c. releasing certain types Of
offenders under improper supervision.
Dr. Glueck in his new book, Crime and
Justice" writes that probation requires a type
of supervision combining the highest arts of
the resourceful teacher, the wise parent, the
sympathetic but firm guide" In too many in
stances DR.. tlueck has found political
heelers holding probation offices In one state,
the part-time officers had been manufacturers
janitors, WheelWrights, etc, with only few
teachers, nurses and Red Cross wpfkers. Add
to such handicaps the disadvantage Of low pay.
To be preserved, probation and parole must
be adequately stated, more intelligently direct
ed, and, above all, freed from political influence

The former Prince of Wales appar-
emily isn't permitting his kingship to

he became monarch he has flown sever
al times. The fourth was the other day

Not content to stand on the ground and
look upward, he climbed into ship and
flew with the airmen. 1t IS easy 10

and in turn, to picture his courteous but
insistent assertion that he would fly.

THE RAILROADS SET AN
EXAMPLE IN MERCHA NDTSTNI

The railroads are setting an example
which all business can follow with bene-
fit.
For the past six years, the public
has been watching the difficulties which
have confronted the railroads, one OF
the industries which was hardest hit by
the depression. Before the depression
set in, railroads were being injured by
the inroads in passenger traffic being
made by the increased use OF motor cars
for cross country travel.
The lean depression years further re-
duced train travel, and the railroads
found themselves confronted with Sc
rious financial crisis, with their position
flanked on the one side by cheap bus
transportation and the family motor
car, and on the other side by the much
faster airplane.
Truly. their predicament was serious.
For several years they resembled giant
who knew not what to do against the
attack of smaller enemies. Then they
started merchandising first by supply
ing improved merchandise, next by prlc-
ing it properly, and lastly by selling to
the public by publicising all the merits
of the product.
To match low bus rates, they lowered
the fare for coach travel. They sup
piled better equipment and low priced
meals. To match airplane speed, they
created the new, fast, light airflow
trains. They showed up all schedules
and installed air-cooling devices. Then
they increased advertising, pointing
their copy at extolling the benefits of
trains as against the week spots un-
pleasant phases of plane and bus travel.
Their comeback has been real and sue
cessful. Today, traffic compares with
that of 1881, and rate of increase conti-
nues to gather momentum. There is
double moral in this story of modern
day railroading which is being enacted:
One is that necessity is the father of
invention and progress. The other IS
to fight fire with fire and pick out the
other fellows weakest points
