CONDITIONS RIPE FOR A
KILLING.

Conditions are ideal in Libby for the
killing or serious injuring Of some Of
the children OF the community. IF such
tragedy does come, it will be the
result OF bad practice of which this
newspaper has heretofore warned the
public We refer to the inexcusable
habit many children and young people
have Of using the streets al a sidewalk
and walking in droves down the middle
of the streets instead Of on the side
walks.
There may have been some excuse
for this bad habit when the sidewalks
were covered with snow or slush. But
the snow is now gone and the sidewalks
are dry and there isn't the slightest
excuse for using the streets for side
walk. If it is persisted in, sooner or
later someone is going to be killed
Streets are now dry and smooth and
auto drivers are speeding up. That in
creases the danger We have seen a
car pull in behind bevy of children
occupying the entire width Of street
and when the. horn was honked the
youngsters scattered like a covey Of
surprised quail encountered on g
country highway Some lodged one
way, some another, and the driver had
practically to stop his car to bt
absolutely sure of not hurting some
one. And all this right in the middle
of the street midway between inter.
sections Some time driver is goint
to swing around corner at full speed
and crash into and over the body o
some th0ushdeas youngster who ha.
persisted in using the street for side.

 The exact form of the Republi- can campaign attack remains un- determined. Many politicians doubt whether the National convention can do more than charge waste and political manipulation, and hint at some new form of relief admins tration

AGREE POOR MUST EAT
 It is not that there is any dis prepared it's case relating to condi- tions in Missouri, and the thought ful manner in which this case was handled by the Administration tes- tlfy to the importance accorded by pute about the necessity for taking care of the needy. Even the rank ing Republican leadership in Con- gress supported the new relief ap- propriation. But they did so after protesting that the job could much better be done some other way.
 The core of the controversy is, specifically, Harry L. Hopkins ad- ministration of the vast relief funds entrusted to him.
 The under-surface conflict be- tween the Hopkins and the Ickes schools of thought has been much more severe than the general pub lie realizes.
 Secretary Ickes has not hesitated to carry to the highest quarters his insistence that a substantial portion of relief funds be put aside for permanent public works. Those who agree with him are numerous

WANT TO STAR ! IN MOVIE ROLE? | TRY VAUDEVILLE
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, June 4.-George E. Stone, once of vaudeville, and Sammy White, ditto, sat down to- lgether the other day and named the current movie celebrities who like themselves were backgrounded in the three-a- day. They reeled off the names of Fred Astaire, Mae West, Joe E. Brown, the late Will Rogers, Char lie Ruggles, Frank Fay, Eddie Can tor, Lila Lee, Hugh Herbert, Harry Richman and then decided they might as well stop because, after fall, the list could go on practically indefinitely.
 And none of them,' remarked Sammy, the dancing comedian of the new Show Boat" his first film, has changed a bit. I think he added, that's why they're all so good in pictures. Actors learn things in vaudeville, and vaudeville tests their personalities. If the people like them in the three a-day, those personalities are good for pictures too. Why should they try to be different?"
 A Show Boat Veteran Sammy, a comic with operatic ambitions, has been on the stage virtually all his 39 years. He was in the original ziegfeld production of Show Boat" which is why he got a call for the movie. Like every vaudevillian, Sammy has "reminiscences of the days when" and here are few about current personalities. He remem- bers when

NEW DEAL GETS
BANKS REPORT
FOR DRIVE

A confidential report On condi-
ton of the nations banks as com.
pared 70 the banking situation in
the Hoover administration has
been submitted to President Roose-
welt by Comptroller of the Cur
rency ]. F. T. O'Connor for use
in the election campaign.
The report departed from usual
procedure by citing bank failures
in the Hoover regime" instead
of merely designating the years
1929-1933, as is customary in such
reports.
Aided by Crowley
O'Connor drafted the report
with the cooperation Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board and Leo T.
Crowley, chairman of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation,
and turned it over also to the
Democratic national committee.
The report was drafted shortly
after Col. Frank Knox, Repub-
lican vice presidential candidate,
charged that bank deposits we're
unsafe because of the Administra-
TONS fiscal policies. It was placed
in RooSevelt'S hands before he
made his Pittsburgh, Pa, cam
paign apeech, to answer Knox'S
charge.
The report specifically points
out that in the Hoover ad-
ministration there were 1894
bank suspensions, against 264 in
the Roosevelt Administration. It
stated:
"The low point in deposits
under the Hoover regime was
reached on June 30, 1882, when
the deposits III all banks of the
nation reflected q total Of S45,-
390,269,OOO.
"On June 30, 1885, total de-
pOSitS in all banks of the nation
showed $51, $50, 123,OOO."
Reviewing the banking situation
during the Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover administrations, the Comp
troller of the Currency said that
during the IL years of Republican
regimes 11,457 banks with deposits
of $3.50 million dollars on deposit
had closed.
Average Deposit
In summarizing conclusions, the
report said:
"On the basis Of an estimate
recently made of deposits in
closed national banks, the aver
age per depOSitOr was $515. If
this average could be assumed
to be about correct for State and
private banks also, then the de-
poSitOrS who lost money in all
banks which failed during the
Hoover administration would
number approximately S,159,2OO
as against 342,7OO for the pres
ent Administration"
