that about IA percent Of the crude Is taken
off in the naphtha and distillate cuts before

Dorothy Thompson Errs in
Article on p. W. A. Earnings
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The series of splendid articles by
Dorothy Thompson have been one of the
best features that have combined to make
The Star the complete newspaper. These
articles have been SO accurate, so deep
and so clearseeing that they have con-
stituted most beneficial and educative
influence upon public understanding Of
the subjects.
However, it is deeply regretted that in
her article on W. P. A., in your edition
of Wednesday, october 81, 1881, she is
seriously in error in stating that need
has any influence upon earnings.
Under the old F. E. r. A. it was true
that the maximum earnings of relief
clients was determined by budget Of
need" and the hours of work were ad-
justed with the hourly compensation SO
as to make the income conform to the
budget.
But with the creation of w. P. A. the
monthly earnings were set by executive
decree and the rates were determined
by the workers classification and the
geographical location, with the more re-
cent adjustment of the employed hours
to conform somewhat to the rates of
pay prevailing for that work in the
localities.
The single worker earns as much as
the head of O. big family.

Campaign Strategy Easily
Summed Up in Four Words

To the Editor of The Star:
Mr.. Morgenthau'S blanket denial OF
the carefully documented charges of Mr.
Hoover is one more episode in a cam
paign whose strategy may be summed
up in four words. They are smear, white
wash, softpedal and sideStep.
The smear began with callouSly vi
cious attack upon President Hoover dur
ing his last desperate struggle with a
disrupted world. 1t has made the name
of perhaps the ablest man in public life
today byword for fumbling futility. II
now traduces a great State to besmirch
its Governor.
The whitewash finds its most illustrious
practitioner in Mr.. Hopkins, whose lavish
use of it on w. P. A. officials implies
that we are still too damn dumb" fol
him to worry.
The softpedal assumes state Of gen.
eral amnesia 1t banks on the notoriouSly
short memory of Demos. 1t provided q
fadeout for the Frankfurter boys just
before the Philadelphia convention anc
they are now as dead as the dodo.
The sidestep demands bit of skill anc
should usually be left to the artful dod-
ger himself "in person" Examples of il
are as numerous as they are brilliant
but the recent solemn conclave of life
insurance heads to refute Col. Knox
must suffice. Mr.. Morgenthau's effort
does not seem brilliant.
The sinister aspect of these evaSions
is the excuse that to be more specific i
not ''in the public interest" It is q
last relic of the divine right of kings.

Halloween Vandalism.

Halloween will be observed a week
hence, and the time intervening is not
too long for consideration of ways and
means of preventing, or at least reduc-
ing materially, the vandalism that has
come to mark that night. For some
peculiar reason the youngsters, and even
some adults, seize this occasion for
wanton pranking of costly character.
These tricks and practices are the sur
vival of an ancient usage degenerating
from the original observance of All Saints
day. In the beginning there was sig
nificance in these practices, but in later
times they are sheer rowdyism. WASH
ington has latterly organized the OBJ
servance on a community basis with
pleasurable and interesting festivities and
spectacles which should sufiice to satisfy
the play spirit that Is evoked on this
occasion. But there remains one feature
of the degenerated festival Of r,irth that
requires to be severely fspressed. That
Is the actual destruction Of property and
the expensive damage inflicted. mostly by
Juveniles. who have no concept OF the
real spirit Of Halloween.
