NE NEED MORE REALISM
IN OUR 'WHODUNITS


Away back toward the tail end of the
1929 boom, the newspapers carried the
interesting information that President
Hoover was an ardent reader of detec-
tive stories
That was an odd little landmark in
the literary history of our times The
detective story suddenly became res
pectable When the head man himself
lay awake nights to find out who had
committed the murder, the circulating
library patron could hold up his chin.
The detective story became, and still is,
leading staple of the publishers trade.
But there are beginning to be signs
that this field has been pretty we'll eX-
plotted. The traditional detective story,
more or less a mathematical exercise in
ingenuity, is beginning to change; and
the chief reason is the fact that it seems
to be almost impossible to write such a
story in the accepted vein without max
ing it-for American readers, at any
rate-violently unreal.
In the detective story, the sleuth fas-
tens upon certain clewS and follows
them relentlessly to the goal. The pur-
est logic prevails. 1t may be necessary
for him to grill the hide off one of the
richest men in America, or to send
most beautiful maiden to the electric
chair, but neither he nor the narrative
ever falters.
Now any American who reads the
daily papers knows that we don't do
things that way in real life The homi-
eide squad sergeant who got rough with
a Vincent Astor or a dupont would lose
his buttons before night, and we all
know it; the beautiful maiden who is
connected with the murder by tenuous
chain of circumstantial evidence may
shudder in terror, in the story, but in
real life she would go blithely before
jury, announce that she had shot in
defense of her honor, and get off scot
free.
Against that background, the ordi-
nary detective story is exceedingly un-
real. The reader has begun to rebel
against it; and it would seem that there
are just two things the authors can do
about it.
They can give us hard-boiled and more
or less realistic yarns in the vein of
Dashiell Hammett and Erie Stanley
Gardner, wherein the imperfections and
odd quirks of American justice are fully
recognized; or they can lay the scene of
action IN England-Where, as all of us
are quite confident, the law is the law,
and beautiful maidens can be dealt with
on hard-boiled basis.
What they can't do is go on feeding
us the traditional kind of yarn, in which
highpriced private detectives or gentle
man amateurs go gaily along doing such
things as were never seen on land or
sea.
America just isn't the country for
that. Even the mystery story, sooner or
later, must become recognizable as at

TESTS MADE In
SUGAR BEET
PRODUCTION

Valley experiments in sugar beet
production are showing satisfactory
progress according to H. Lee Land
erman, assistant farm advisor who
is cooperating with growers and
commercial firms in test plots de-
voted to this crop.
High sugar content and high pro-
duction are indicated in the test
plots which run from two to five
acres in size and which have been
planted at random throughout the
county. Six paintings at two weeks
intervals are contemplated.
For many years experiments in
sugar beet growing have been at
tempted but nothing definite has
resulted. The present works seems
more promising than previous at
tempts.

The Republican Viewpoint
EDITED BY
The Republican County Central
Committee
By w. S. DUNN
Candidate, State Senator

In this period of stress and uncertainty
when the people are looking to their state gov
ernment for aid and courage in meeting the
battles for existance, I believe that candidates
for public office have real obligation to dis
card campaign platitudeS and every form of in
sincerity in their statements to the voters
will attempt to follow that course in this brief
statement of principles.
am firmly opposed to the imposition of
any additional tax burden on the homeowner,
farmer, or common property taxpayer generally,
and will oppose any effort to levy advalorem
or direct property tax to meet the states deficit.
To prevent the confiscation of our homes
by excessive taxation, exemption for
sonable amount should apply to all homes and
small farms when actually occupied by their
owners, thus encouraging our citizens to be-
come homeowners instead Of tenants.
I believe that the deficit, together with the
problem of reduced state income, can be met
and Immediately eradicated by real economy in
all state operations. This plan will make it i'm
perative that rigid economy be effected in all
state departments; that no new state depart
ments be created and that a practical workable
plan of einlinationS and consultations be enact
ed to wipe out overlapping functions.
do not intend to play politics with human
misery and despair by making sweeping prom
ises that will miraculouSly end unemployment
and accomplish business recovery, but 1 do
pledge to the people of Imperial county in deep
est sincerity that will do my utmost in cooper
federal government, to find the solution to our
common problem.
The task of reconstruction and re-employ-
ment is not a one-man job; it is a tremendous
task which calls for new spirit Of cooperation
and unity of purpose on the part of public Off
cials and citizens alike. To that task I will give
the best that there is in me.
The state of California must use it, efforts
for the assurance of decent and reasonable
security for the nfirm and aged who, through no
fault of their own, have fair and just demand
upon the facilities Of society.
The state must give every measure of protec-
ton to the mineral agricultural and fishery
products which form its chief commodities
against those competitive items Of like nature
that is brought in from foreign countries
Harold Ickes would be the nearest thing to
tower of strength among New Deal speakers.
But they have been more pessimistic since
Ickes undertook to wipe the floor with Hearst
in radio speech.
The delivery wasn't very exciting and the
content wasn't up to expectations Of those who
wanted to see Hearst thoroughly smeared.
