The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-11-13

Editor, The Times-News:
This is an article of essentials
and some of the results of the
election as regards the W.P.A. and
| its results, on and before election
day.
This is the Democratic PROPOSE
ton to the people of our nation
today to some extent prior to the
day Of the election.
A member of our immediate
family received a letter demand
ing whole-hearted support, and a
straight Democratic vote on cleo
ton day, by a strong member of
said party, stating we absolutely
expect this of you, for the fact
you got W.P.A. work for short
while.
To my knowledge this is one of
the most disgusting ways of OBJ
tanning votes from sensible
American.
To some extent this is true, we
got very little W.P.A. assistance.
During the most trying period
of last year and this as well, | my
self asked for W.P.A. work rs
home maker in economics which
was also denied until after cleo
tion until they thought themselves
almost sure as to how ] cast my
vote.
| absolutely refused to vote
their way, because in the first
place / absolutely don't believe in
selling my franchise to either
party. Second, / thought it would
take more than one can Of Mr..
Roosevclt's hamburger or dole to
get any firm radicals vote.
Some members of Democrat
families have fallen so low as to
highly insult my children at school
in regard to my registering and
voting.
Furthermore |, as an American
can consider it a right to cast my
vote not for mere piece of bread
or promise of dole, but for the
honest opinion of each and every
citizen Of our country to vote to
the best Of their knowledge for
the man and not the party.
i venture to say there are good
people affiliated with both par
ties.
| We realize this second great
landslide which has swept our
nation, not at all to our liking for
the second tip,a ...,.- -. -.
To whom it may concern. I
would say ] voted straight Re-
publican ticket, without promise
or pay.
Furthermore, | can live without
n political job. / can also cast my
vote likewise.
1t seems to me that there were
several citizens who were party
blind on election day who cast
their votes for Mr.. Roosevelt. al
though we realize our national
affairs are going to be handled by
the Democratic party for the next
four years.

what he says by introducing a
photograph record. isn't that his
affair? 1t is conceivable that Il
situation might arise in which the
broadcasting of photograph rec
ords would not only be advisable
but necessary.
Radio is too great, it is too
magnificent, it is too essential to
our national, state and local wei
fare to permit it to be managed
selfishly or unfairly.
| think radio should remain
where it is-in the hands of pri-
vate capital; and j think private
capital deserves high praise for
the splendid development of IA
do in this nation: but we should
resolutely nip in the bud any and
every tendency on the part of ra-
do management to throttle free
speech.

"Of. all he devices used by employers against
workers the blackbal is the most universally, and

Portland Oregonian.

American workmen will do well to notice that
Germany has organized the blackball system on
nationwide basis. Every manual, clerical and tech
ncal worker must have his work book in which
his detailed record is kept.
"Thus 22,000,000 Germans enter what amounts
to an indirect slavery or at least it will appear in
that light to American workers. Certainly it is
little wonder that when this is added to the coer-
Give methods which have gone before there are no
disorders to German industry. But it is an orni-

This condition is not peculiar to Germany.
In Russia, the Soviet authority, supposedly a
peoples government" has silenced workers just
as effectively, and if any workman protests he is
liable to long imprisonment, exile to Siberia, and

MUZZLING RADIO
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

Already, in other cases, there
has been gagging of speakers by
radio officials opposed to the pur-
poses of the speakers. Let me
give you two instances which
have come under my observation :
A man of high principles who
was running for reelection
against a political ringster and
who had engaged time on the To-
cal broadcasting station was COM
PEELED by the management of the
station to cut out of his speech
the statement that he, the candi-
date, had always been sober while
in office, and before he went in
to office, and would be found So
Der in office if reelected. The IA
dio management, which was pull
ing or the speakers opponent, re-
garded the reference to sobriety
as. unfavorable to the speakers
soaponent since he could not have
been accused of being sober for
any length of time.
On one occasion | myself was
compelled by a politically ring
controlled radio station to leave
out of my speech a statement in
which / showed up the official
misconduct of one of the ring
candidates, though my charge was
a matter of record. ! was requir-
ed to cut that portion of my
speech or stay off the air.
AS to the instance which opens
article, is there any legitimate
reason why any broadcasting sys-
TEN should rule that no phono-
graph records may be used in any
broadcast from its studios? Isn't
that an arbitrary attitude? Isn't
that a high-handed procedure? If
a person has paid for his time on
the air and desires to substantiate
