lays down the rules by which editors gauge their
space and treatment OF big stories
Let us suppose that on the night the Lindbergf
child was kidnapped the New York papers and the
press associations had decided to cover the story
as minor incident. sending no staff men to the
Llndbergh nome. Suppose, instead, that they re-
lied on country correspondents and had printed
the news on back page in no words than it
takes to say that the child of well-known flier
disappeared from his crib in house on a lonely
mountain and that ransom note was found
There is no further news of the case until a
fussy old man delivers $4,000 in currency to a
mysterious figure amid the shadows of a cemetery
at night. That too is told in just enough space to
contain the facts and the treatment is the same
when the body Of the child is found and the kid
mapping becomes murder. Next we have the arrest
OF man with some of the money n his pockets
and the discovery of $4,000 more cached in the
garage of his home. Now comes the trial and
eventually after many delays and much gruesome
nonsense on the part of public officials and notorious
eccentrics with a love of personal publicity the
formal execution of the murderer

editor who had undertaken to play it that way

Bill
Action Delayed
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

VXTASHINGTON, April 90
w The one-man filibuster of
Senator Reynolds Cd, N. CO, still
is delaying Senate action on the
Kerr-C Coolidge deportation bill.
The bill was being debated in
the Senate when the Ritter i'm
parchment trial began. At the
close of the trial, however, it was
laid aside and the Mississippi
flood control bill taken up, since
Senate leaders believed the fill
buster would take up an undue
amount of time.
Senator Coolidge Cd, Mass.),
chairman of the Senate Immigra-
ton Committee, and Senator
King Cd, Utah, its ranking
member, are planning to seek
consideration of the deportation
bill as soon as flood control is
out of the way. However, Sem
ator Reynolds has served notice
that he will try to bring up the
tobacco compact control bill, in
stead.
Meanwhile the fate of $500
aliens, described by the Labor
Department as of good char
acter," who are facing deporta-
ton unless the bill becomes law.
remains uncertain.

And you'll be the star witness.

you, Mr.. Meehan, when such-and-

not your job, Mr.. Meehan, to be

Were you not supposed to pre-
vent pool operations? just what,
if anything, did you do about

make us independent of
hotels and tourist camps.
The trailer urge crept upon us
gradually. For years we had no
ticed, out of the corner of an eye,
the steady increase in the num-
bers of unwieldy contraptions,
mostly built from secondhand
siding and cast-of window sash,
that swayed along behind ancient
cars.
They seemed to be inhabited by
berry pickers and other forms of
transient labor. Some had room
for goat and crate of chick
ems, as we'll as the usual covey
of kids. We saw them parked in
the cherry orchards of northern
Michigan.
The kids seemed noisy and
healthy and we did envy the head
Of the family his chance to fish
the calendar round.
TN the last two years the trailer
Il flock grew amazingly. The adj
ditions were shiny, stream Lined
jobs; two-wheeled and two-toned.
Many were hitched to cleaning
new cars.
Then one evening last July I
finished day of trout fishing at
bridge pool on a Michigan
stream. AS I was taking down
my rod another angler appeared.
We compared catches and he in
vited me to his camp for a cool
drink.
A few yards from the pool,
hidden by pines, was his trailer.
His wife was cooking supper on
neat little gasoline stove. He
was a retired banker. Four years
before they had sold their home,
bought the trailer and lived on
wheels ever since.
He took the drinks from
roomy ice box and I stayed to
meal of fresh trout. He told me
of the places they had hunted and
f1Shed and loafed. Summer in
canada and the Northern states,
both East and West. Winter in
Mexico, Florida and California.
No taxes, rent, utility bills or
coal smoke. Every week or two
they dropped by some general de-
livery window for mail and pa
pers. Once they had to hurry
home to be present at the birth
or grandchild.
LIS wife chimed in with con-
l. Il tented comment from time
to time as she washed the few
dishes and handed them to us
to dry. These people weren't
apologizing for their mode of liv-
ing; they were proud of it.
They had reduced life to the

enjoyable terms. When they felt
the need for bright lights they
registered at a hotel, took eve
ming clothes from the moth-proof
bag and saw a show.
They were able to buy food from
farmers and road stands at i'm
pressive savings. They named a
monthly figure for living ex-
penses, including gas and oil, so
low as to be nearly unbelievable.
After supper we sat outside I'M
der an awning, protected from
mosquitoes by net side drops, and
watched a fire dissolve circle of
pine-scented darkness. The trout
stream made little clucking
noises as it tugged at the alder
roots and slid between rocks in
the rifle. Now and then a fish
splashed at low-hying moth.
I came away with my head in
the stratosphere. In the next few
months we poked into every good
looking trailer we saw. After the
