The problem of hecklers and row.
dies in the theater is one you seldom
see discussed in print. Yet it is very
real poser for mines and managers
mere.
Some of the episodes are comyc,
some distressing. Scarcely a week
passes but that a cash customer inc
briate or sober, doesn't rise to put on
performance Of his own in competi-
ton with that upon the stage.
At Saint Joan,' starring Katharine
Cornell, I saw a magnificent matron,
elegant in mink, come near stopping
the show. She sat at the rear Of the
house with her white-mustachioed
Peter Arno "Cunnel" husband and
kept up a running fire of comment on
the performance. At last she was in
duced to depart between the acts by
self-conscious policeman.
The husband exited a good ten
yards ahead with a "who is that wo-
MANI" air.
On another occasion, during the
premiere of a wildly communistic
DRAMA two patrons down front fell
to fisticuffing because of their differ
ent shades of pink, politically. In all
fairness, the show they put on was far
more entertaining than the ancient
sophistries paraded on stage.
Once during the run of 1.-THE Tam
ing of the Shrew," in which Alfred
Lunt and Lynn Fontame starred and
in which christopher Sly was enscor-
ed in a box to heckle and cut up in
formally, adding verisimilitaude to the
comedy, bejeweled dowager arrived
very late. Christopher Sly, ad libing
gayly, made some remark about tardy
theatergoers.
The lady drew up to her full height,
transfixed him with her lorgnette,
shrilled, II like your nerve, sir!" and
stalked from the theater.

New York, May 4.-Now there's an

lean times have overtaken some of

deed, this is the only sort of alumnae
organization which seems to me to
make sense.
All the others are just clubs to
mourn lost youth.

The announcement by Senator Ben
Hulse of his withdrawal from a race
for reelection, or any public office as
far as that is concerned, comes as a sur
prise to many but not so much of a sur
prise to other quarters.
For some time it has been known
that a question mark was lowering over
the valleys prominent and powerful
representative to the state senate There
have been rumorS OF ambitions for larger
fields to conquer, and there have been
rumOrs of just such a withdrawal as
Sen. HulSe announced Thursday
Senator Hulse upon retirement from
active representation of this area leaves
with the widespread good wishes and
thanks of large number of us. We be-
lieve he has done a good job, added pres
tige to the name of Imperial Valley, got
ten for this district everything possible,
and participated on the right side of
many lnotty problems which faced the
legislature He has represented us with
distinction and because of all this. will
leave his public office with the good will
and appreciation of which he is so de-
serving
His departure does not mean his
hand will not still be seen in political
campaigns. This is as it should be. As

successful men to labor in behalf of the
best interests of the community which
has brought them success.
Many question marks now hover in
the warm spring air, over the heads of
various public officials who might as
pire to fill the thus vacated office For
example, will Ed Law, carrying the
Democratic support, go after the job?
Or maybe he'd rather be district Judge
two years hence? Or will Andy Preble,
Republican supervisor from the Impe-
rial district, aspire to fill the vacancy?
Or possibly VIM. Dunn, Republican GEN.

w |. Stone, enthusiastic taX-reducer, al
ready is in the race
We can envisage a neck and neck race
between these and others, but especially
let US say while surmising, between Ed
Law with the Democratic majority of
county registration, and Andy Preble,
carrying the Republican vote, the friend
ship of supervisors from at least two
other supervisorial districts and . oh,
well-anybodys guess is as good as the

At any rate, it appears evident that
the Democrats are girding their loins
to make a real fight for the position,
what with the powerful Hulse out of
the active running, and with memories
of the last election in mind.

Next Supreme Court Justice .. Har-
Ian FISK Stone FdrOred E. He's
Liberal Member

WASHINGTON,-Every so often the nation
has to have a new chief justice OF the U, S
Supreme Court The next one, many insiders
believe will be Justice Harlan FiSke Stone.
Stone is the Youngest and most vigorous
member of the courts liberal bloc. His person.
ality and has forceful dissenting opinions have
made him a candidate for the mantle of the
beloved late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Holmes never became chief justice but Stone
is only 63 and some of those who have Roose-
veltS confidence are sure the president will
elevate him to that post if he ever gets the
chance
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes is IA.
beyond the retirement age and not very happy.
Justice Louis B. BrandeiS. although in spiritual
kinship with the New Deal is 70 and hardly
likely to succeed Hughes if it falls to Roosevelt
TO choose a successor.
Outstanding among Stones distinctions:
His sheer physical strength and energy
match those of Justice Owen J. Roberts the
conservative side. He is willing to take on the
work of writing the most important diSSentS and
To lead in the hot infghting at court confer
enceS which precede decisions.
Stone is not in sympathy with much of the
New Deal Appointed by Coolidge and a close
personal friend of Herbert Hoover he is Re-
publican. But he is fighting champion for
liberal Interpretation of the Constitution and
the rights of Congress to legiSlate against
opinions influenced by personal political, or
economic bias.
For a supreme court justice Stones back
ground is unusually diversified He started out
as Z teacher of law and got into the habit of
judging without the service in corporation law
to which most justices have been largely
fined
He left his post as dean of Columbia Uni
versity law school to join the big firm of Sulli-
van & Cromwell, where he had a chance to
learn the tricks of Wall Street. Finally he
served as attorney general in the cabinet.
Personally, Stone probably is the courts
most popular member. He gets around more
than any other justice and has a strong sense
of humor.
legend is still floating around to the effect
that the crash of American Airlines plane IN
Arkansas which killed II persons resulted when
a dope fend. who had taken out heavy insur-
just before the flight. suddenly murdered
the pilot.
Although this fantastic version wasn't men
toned in the Bureau of Air Commences report,
which officially declared the tragedy mystery
the report conspicuously omitted mention of
certain evidence which aided the bud-up of
the theory, and orders have been issued requir
ing that pilot compartments be locked and pass
engers barred therefrom.
Several phals of morphine were found in the
wreckage. hole which some thought probably
had been made by bullet fired inside the plane
was also discovered in a piece of metal. The
wreckage also turned up unidentified revolver.
Then there was the aforementioned rumor that
a passenger had been financially embarrassed
and had taken out large amount of insurance.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT
THE TRUCK PROBLEM.
The interference of large trucks Uith
passenger trdUel on the highways is
becoming more serious

There is not motorist who travels
any distance on a highway but in the
course of his trip has cause to complain
against the large, ponderous trucks
which seriously interfere with the much
more numerous passenger cars.
Under present conditions, truck traf-
fic and passenger traffic are at destinct
odds. Passenger traffic is faster and
more flexible than the ponderous lotion
freight carriers which with their ponder
Gus trailers often resemble trains. The
place for one is not the place for the
other. Trucks impede highways, usually
climb hills slowly, and sometimes when
unable to make a grade, must book the
road, while the average motorist can, on
clear highways, pass a smaller vehicle
easily and with safety, passing trucks

and especially trucks with trailers, is
quite another thing
Some states overcome part of the
trouble by prohibiting vehicles from the
highways which do not go a minimum
of 80 miles an hour Less than that is
considered endangering traffic and
thWarting the purpose of the modern
day highway which is quick transporta-
tion. From some quarters, much is
heard of separate highways for trucking
vehicles This has the objection of in
creased expense right at a time when tax
payers are insisting on economies.
For less congested areas such as I'M
perial Valley, it would appear that the
three-lane highway would be the most
advisable, costing less than duplicated
highways, yet offering vehicles clearance
and safety, and opportunity Of passing.
The final solution, however, has yet
to be found What may solve the prob
lem locally, does not solve it insofar as
the more congested areas are concerned.
