Mrs. Becker Says Constitution
Should Be Chart OF American
proprecs

The Constitution should ever be the
chart by which America will endure
and go forward Mrs William A.
Becker, president general of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton. declared today in July state
ment.
This independence day--July 4
1a36-should inspire every American
who secs the Stars and Stripes un-
furled TO the breeze. with deeper re-
spect for this country and its insti-
tutions' she said.
1T is a time to rekindle the fires Of
patriotism. America needs American.
1t needs the support of true Ameri-
can citizens to combat the termites
boring from within
We should be proud TO salute the
American flag this Fourth OF July,
The spirit of '76' still lives in 1886,
despite new theories, false doctrines
and fantastic schemes
Respect for the flag however, can
! only be won through the teaching Of
the things for which it stands.
The national defense can be secure
! only through education. The fate Of
the Nation depends upon an enlght-
ened public opinion. not alone upon
material wealth. nor fertile fields, nor
teeming furnaces. nor rich mines. but
upon the quality of its manhood and
its womanhood.

NEW YORK, July 4-The Zeppelin
Hindenburg, armed with fresh reports
on North Atlantic weather In response
to a wireless appeal. nosed her way
safely out Of Cape Cod fog banks early
today and pressed onward in her
fourth eastward crossing.
The tropical radio station at Hing
ham, Mass, reported it established
communication with the German
dirigible, which gave her position as
$50 miles east Of Cape Cod.
The ship said she was not then ex-
periencing any difficulty.
The radio marine station at Chat
ham, Mass, on the end of the cape
at 2:30 am, Eastern standard time,
relayed to the Hindenburg weather
reports CLEANED from ships on the
high sea in the path Of the airship.
An hour earlier, the Chatham sta
ton said. the airliner. carrying full
complement Of so passengers, includ-
ing three United States naval officers
as ofiicial observers, had flown low

motors loudly, but a thick blanket Of

SEATTLE. Wash, July A safe

Of heads hammered down" before he

The capering Congressman resolved
to spend a quiet holiday with his
bride and mother, after his hectic
experiences. which reached a climax
last Sunday when he jumped over a
fence and escaped from a Maryland
institution for mental patients.
Such episodes, he declared. were

Zioney-over-the-fe fence"
Whereupon he doffed his shirt,
donned false black beard, arranged
his hat crosswise on his head, put
his right hand in Napoleon-like ges-
ture across his chest. and posed for
photographers. explaining it was a
disguise he would assume while on the
trail Of his political enemies"
When his wife was asked if she
thought her husband was crazy -
she replied Indignantly:
THAT phrase should never be used
in connection with him-never."

Majority of Delegates Stay
Over to Celebrate Fourth

PORTLAND, Greg, July 4-The
National Education Association wound
up its 1885 convention yesterday with
approval by the Executive Committee
of Detroit as the 1887 meeting place
Definite dates will be set later. II the
usual course is followed. the conven-
ton will begin on the last Sunday in
June.
A considerable portion of the 10000
to 10000 visitors remained in the
Northwest for the Fourth Of July holi-
day. Others turned homeward to
launch the N. E. AS national cam
paign for academic freedom, Federal
aid for schools and the establishment
of a department for youth in the
United States ONCE of Education.
Returning delegates carried with
them the assurance of Frank Miles,
personal representative Of Ray Murphy
national commander of the American
Legion, that the veterans organizat ton
would not support any measure reouir-
ing teachers to swear not to teach
communism.
Supporting such a measure, Miles
said in an address, would be one of
the worst things we could do"
Much of this talk about teachers
being Reds Is hooey," said Miles.
editor of the Iowa Legionnaire.
Many of the forces hollering about
a Red scare are just as dangerous as
the Communists.
IF the people who are always rais-
ing Red scare would stop talking and
start working to eliminate our finan-
cial difficulties, we would see an end
to the Communist problem"

Indeed, he observed. it may be more
powerful. particularly If it Is very
great and shameless lie. For. he said,
most people tell small lies themselves,
and readily detect them in others. But
the stupendous lie. shamelessly uttered,
is accepted. for the average man can
not envisage such colossal impudence.
These words, from the greatest living
master Of propaganda-with the pos
sible exception of DR.. Goebbels-are
worth serious consideration. For the
radio. which can carry truth to the
uttermost corner of the nation. can
also carry the lie. The ether waves
are utterly impartial. They do not
tremble under half truths, distortions,
varications. Lies do not produce static.
In modern times two revolutionary
coup detats we're launched by seiZing,
not the arsenal or the treasury. or the
cabinet Offices. but the central radio
sending station. And they began by
broadcasting lie. And the rebels
were astute. The radio is the greatest
instrument of political power in the
world today.
Radio Is Universal.
Now, the outstanding differences be-
tween political propaganda on the
radio. and political propaganda from
the public platform are two the radio
is universal. And the radio is one
way form of discussion. The first diff
| ference often operates in favor OF
honesty. In the old days the special
pleader could tell one thing to the
| farmers OF the prairies and another
thing to the working men of big
| industrial town: he had one set of
pleas for the pious and another for
the reprobates. If his words drifted
out OF the area for which they were
designed, and appeared on the printed
page he could blame the reporter and
issue dement,. Statesmen have done
| that since time immemorial But he
cannot repudlate words which have
been heard by millions.
AboIishes Censorship.
On the other hand. the radio abol-
ishes the only effective form of CEN
sorship in behalf of truth compatible
with democratic government. 1t abol-
ishes the heckler. To be sure. there
are libel laws. But they are. in this
country, very wide and generous laws
indeed. No one on the air may call
the President a paranoiac, Or Gov.
Landon a horse thief but either or
both can be implied. The Communist
candidates and their pleaders may not
| directly incite to violence, and Mr.
Lemke may not suggest a popular
rising to take over the Treasury. But

Green Skull Caps
For All Lobbyists
Loon, inLOltisiana
Ey the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, La. July A.
Louisiana lobbyists considered the
possibility TODAY of having to work in
green skull caps and gaudy plaid
trousers. and hoped the Legislature
was only fooling.
Provisions for such uniform and
for a system of sharing wages with
Senators were included in bill passed
by both chambers and now waiting
House concurrence in Senate amend
ments.
The bill provided originally that
lobbyists wear uniforms showing their
length of service" Lobbyists with less
than three years experience would
wear green skull caps and gaudy
plaid trousers, rainbow-hued, Veterans
of many years service would wear
white suits with only the tell-tale
skull cap to distinguish them.
Senators added a proviso that lob
byists attach certified checks in the
sum of 81 900 with applications, pay
able to the fund for the social enter
tainment Of the Senators-which fund
is hereby created" Senators would
have the right to withdraw the funds
on their own warrants, up to sloC
daily.
Lastly. lobbyists would carry out the
share the wealth" principle by divid-
ing with the Senate membership ali
funds "in excess of $40 day re-
ceived as compensation for their serv-
ices as lobbyists.
Senate advocates of the bill solemnly
declared they stood ready to put 1t on
the books even If they had to over
ride veto.
Gov. Richard B. Leche was silent on
the matter.
House action was delayed BY the
July 4th holiday.
