CCC DEATH STRUGGLES

Following recent check-up which showed that
federal CCC workers were DESERVING by the thou
sands to private employment comes an announce
ment from Washington that, by special dlspen-
sation of the higher-ups. college boys are to be
given CCC employment for the summer. Lest one
iump to the conclusion that the CCC bureaucrats
are using the collegians as stop-gap to prevent
their own Unemployment, hear Arno B. Cammerer,
director of the National Park Service. He explains
it so much more credibly:
''The ultimate aim of the student program is to
interest students in future government service and
to offer students opportunity to obtain practical
experience during the summer vacation period"
Just how it is that college boys are to receive
training in government service by shoveling ter
races on outworn farms, cutting roads through
brushy country and making two trees grow where
one grew before is a little vague, so vague as to
suggest the possibility that the CCC, having per-
formed its office, having done an effective piece
of relief work emergency, seeks to perpetuate
itself, long after the emergency has passed, by de-
generating into bidding brigade. 1t would be
delightful and astounding thing did some of these
depression organizations go out of business as
hurriedly as they came in.--Charotte News.

PLAYING THE FOOL ON $4,000

Congressman Zioncheck of Washington state was
duly elected to the national house of representa-
tives by the voters of his district BY this action he
is paid $4,000 per year by the federal govern
ment which means that the taxpayers of the ma
ton paying to have him on the job in the ma
tional capital Zoncheck has played the fool in
Washington, he has continually broken the law,
and for the last several weeks has been travelling
around on honeymoon, creating much disturb
ance and playing the fool again. all at the expense
of the federal government. Do such actions create
further confidence on the part of the people to-
ward their national representatives? We think he
has made an ass of himself and has brought dis
credit on the entire bodyaof congress: 1t is high
time that the members of congress take such &C.
ton as is necessary to humble such characters as
are sent to the national congress Immunity for
such characters is the height of legislative folly

Editor, The Times-News:
1t is difficult to understand
why the leaders of the Republic
can party refuse to understand
clearly the direction due to lead
ers at the national convention. A
man does not require common
sense to sec absolutely that two
men stand out as the coming
COP. candidates due to the re-
cent polls. The two men are:
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
and
Charles A. Lindbcrgh.
The former is able and clean.
No Roosevelt in the country TO-
day can surpass him. His war
record and has clearness stand
out.
Lindbergh has a head full of
brains and undoubtedly is loved
by all Americans.
Can he and Roosevelt be beat
en-. They cannot. Are not the
voters ready to vote for them?

WE MISS REAL REPLIES TO
IMPORTANT ISSUES
iBy BRUCE CATION

Ii is beginning W looh do IL 'hi' Pr
Dental year would give US new high IN
the evasion of issues - by men OF both
parties. -,
For the issues this year are not simple
things that can be met by plain yes-or-no
answer. Each one calls for a definite, de-
tailed reply, an explanation of underlying
philosophy so fortnight that there can be
no misunderstanding it. And it is going to
be very easy to seem to make such an an
swer without actually doing anything of
the kind. ..
Consider, for instance, the much talked
of matter of balancing the federal budget.
A candidate will arise and declare flatly
that he believes in balancing the budget;
on the face of it, a perfectly plain and I'M
mistakable stand.
But who, in heavens name, does not be-
lieve in balancing the budget? Unless the
speaker tells precisely how and when he
aims to balance the budget, he has ex-
pressed pious hope and nothing more.
Well, he will, say, Il favor balancing the
budget by reducing needless federal ex-
penditures, abolishing unnecessary bu-
reaus, and cutting down the army of fed
eral employees.
Again, that sounds very definite-but
unless the speaker goes on to cite chapter
and verse, he has said nothing of the
slightest Importance. .....
Of course he believes in reducing need
less expenditures and firing needless work
ers. Who doesn't?
The point is, which expenditure does he
consider needless? Which bureaus are
unnecessary? Which departments are
cluttered with superfluous employees, and
how many of them does he propose to get
rid of? "
Go on from. there. A speaker will beat
his breast and declare that he stands fol

Fine; so do we all, Has he said anything
unless he goes on to tell us precisely how
he would expand it?
He will declare himself in favor of Ia
boris right to the exercise of collective bar
gaining; does that mean anything, unles!
he tells us just how he would insure tina
right?
He will declaim for a sound currency
does his defamation mean anything un
less he tells US exactly when and how h
would anchor our currency to gold?

CHICAGO, January ga new

based on q theory that the disease Is

substance in the gastric juices. was
announced today by DR.. E. A. Green's
pom Of Montreal, Canada.
It consisted Of preparations Of gas

ural pepsin, the digestive agent which

Of the anti-pernicious anemia SUBJ
stance.
The identity Of this substance is as
yet undetermined. DR.. Greenspon said
in The Journal OF the American Med
ical Association. It has been de-
scribed in the past as hormone and
an engine.
DR.. Greenspon described his treat
ment, which he said could be admin
istered by mouth or hypodermic in
lection, as a simpliflcation of one
evolved earlier by DR.. w. B. Castle,
notable experimenter in this field.
Castle held that nature prevented
pernicious anemia normally through a
substance secreted by the gastric
Juices and from the stomach walls.
He contended 1t was necessary for this
substance to combine with another,
probably a protein, to be effective.
His treatment therefore consisted Of
. preparation Of gastric juices and
ground beef.
DR.. Greenspon said his experiments
showed that untreated gastric juices
were ineffective because the pepsin
counteracted the anti-pernicious ane-
mia agent. The beef protein used by
Castle combined with the pepsin and
thus removed it, he declared.
