 EARNING VERSUS B0RR0v~ING
 It has been our contention that the man with ten spot he has earned in his pocket is happier man than one with twenty borrowed dollars, but now it looks as though we might be wrong. Where we made our mistake Was in assuming that everyone would rather earn his liv- ing as he went along than have it handed to him on a long term pay- ment plan.
 Early in December MT. sheely of- fered every colonist chance to earn some ready cash, either by cutting wood or working 64s an en- ployee of the corDorati ion. "TeeD all cash for wood sold to outs iders :, and 5O1o for t1lct sold to the corD- oration, ," he said. "If you work for wages take 25G in cash end let the balance apply on your account or cccruo as credit against future payments of principal end interest upon your l1nd md home" ."
 Many said they didn't need cash, th~t getting their land ready to produce crops WIS more lmpOrt->nt. They ere real 2rmers who s3e more money to como out of tho soil thcn they can earn with their h=nds.
 Others who cro handy with tools worked It fini shing their homes thereby saving c2rnCntCr's s wages thct would otherwise be charged O. glinst them.
 But what about those who crc noithor getting their ll:nd cleared nor working on their homes?
 Some gre working for wages, hap py in tho knowledge h~t besides the 25b going into their pockets they are creating {: fund that in time will mako C substantial pay ment on their new homo.
 And thCn thlro c<ro some who neither clear, build nor work, but shout to high he~:vcn thc.t it is a criMc they Cro CskGd to sell the sweat of their brOWs for c moro 25b of C d-y's wage. They demand it all.

Senator Elmer A. Benson, Min

member Of the Senate, created a
mild furore among Senate officials

Democratic side of the Chamber.
The request was unprecedented.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 3 Q.N.SO.
Determined to discover whether
Thelma Todd walked unaided and
voluntarily up 271 steps to meet
her death, the 10 members Of the
Los Angeles county grand jury to-
day we're to visit the garage where
the film stars body was found.

today charged that efforts were
under way to convince investiga-
tors the blonde actress took her
own life.
since December 16 when Miss
Todd's body, clad in an evening
gown and bleeding at the mouth,
was found behind the closed doors
Of her garage, jurymen have dis
carded the accident theory. Their
investigation now is concentrated
on two possibilities-suicide or
homicide. .-...
Doubts Suicide
Foreman Rochester said:
'sIn the actual evidence,
have found nothing to support
the suicide theory definitely"
While Rochester pointed out
that the star had been young,
beautiful, comparatively wealthy,
possessed of many gay friends,
and ostensibly happy, intimates
Of Miss Todd have Lold the jury
she was in reality morbid and un-
happy.
Miss Todd was known as "the
laughing girl of Hollywood" But
Ida Lupino, famous dancer, testi-
fled she was lone of the unhap-
piest persons I knew" And Rob
ert Caller, costume designer, said
the last time Miss Todd came to
see him she seemed unhappy.
More Questions to Be Asked
Jurymen today hoped to obtain
knowledge of some of the phys
ical factors of the case. If Miss
Todd committed suicide, she
walked up a long flight Of steps
from her Sidewalk Cafe to the
garage, opened the doors and
closed them in darkness, and
seated herself in an open car
and turned on the motor.
The investigators today will go
through these movements them
selves. They will compare the
condition of their clothes and
shoes with those found on the
body. They will study the effect
Of the exertion on themselves and
try to see if a woman, clad in a
long evening gown and under a
great emotional strain, could and
would have picked this means Of
leaving a world which apparently
offered her everything.
