Becomes Matter OF Great
Importance To Various
Politicians In Bearing

The issue of federal relief al
last is assuming that speciaI
prominence which far-seeine poll.
ticians long have forecast for it
The current struggle in con.
gress is deep-seated and severe;
but it is only a circumstance to
what many on both sides expect
once the campaign swings into
full stride.
Mr.. Roosevelt's message, asking
for another $1,5OO,OOO.OOO FOL
the works progress administers
ton, scarcely could have been
better timed to produce con-
troversy. 1t found the critics o.
WPA already going into action
on many fronts. and WPA itself
vehemently denying charges OF
gross inefficiency, impractical
methods and political manipula-
ton.
One definite distinction should
be drawn. Few OF those who OBJ
ject to the Presidents policies
think further relief expenditures
can be avoided, or regarded the
sum requested as necessarily ex-
cessive. The opposition does OBJ
ject vigorously to the way the
money is being handled.
Thus the finger o. controversy
is pointed rather directly at
Harry L. Hopkins, into whose
hands this vast spending opera
ton was put by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Aside from the principal candi-
dates themselves. Mn. Hopkins
promises to be exhibit No. l OF
the campaign.
A Natural Issue
This has come about by a pro-
cess of natural evolution. Sooner
or later, in the judgment OF the
political seers, relief was bound
to come to the front because, in a
field of complicated issues, this
was one issue everyone knew
about.
The constitution, the monetary
policy, even the farm problem,
seems remote to many voters.
The new tax program is designed
to touch only a small percentage.
But everybody in every COM
munity knows about relief. He
either has direct contact with it.
or he has seen its operation, or
heard it discussed effectively in
even the smallest gathering of his
friends.
Its emergence as an over
shadOwing issue, which might
logically have been expected much
earlier in 1886, was delayed by
force of circumstances. The Presi-
dents decision to postpone his
relief recommendation was follow
ed by a season OF engrossment in
such issues as the bonus. farm
aid, taxation. The delay has only
accentuated the final impact.
Similarly. in previous phases OF
of the Roosevelt administration
various predecessors 70 Mr.. Hop
kins have played temporarily the
role of exhibit No. 1. First it was
Professor Moley around whom the
controversy conferred. Then il
was General johnson, then DIR
Tugwell. Now, unquestionably, il
is Mr.. Hopkins. IS t'ai
Watch Hopkins
In view of this. everything Mr.
Hopkins does henceforth vii
come under the closest politica
scrutiny. Is
A great deal of the evidence OF
both sides still is undisclosed. NJ
one denies that the vast reliei
undertaking involved many in
evltable difficulties. Until al
the facts are known, it viii re
main an open dispute whether
these difficulties are sufficient t,
excuse some OF the things which
have happened.

TEXAS FLOOD
RECEDING

WACO, Tex, Sept. 80 G.N.S0.
Clearing skies and cool weather
today indicated a respite from the
rains in a large part Of Texas
which flooded many streams and
did damage estimated in the mil
lions of dollars, but caused little
loss of life.
Small communities along the
Brazos, Colorado and other streams
in the South Central part of the
State awaited the crests of the
torrents, fearful of what may hap
pen, but hopeful that the water
will spread over lowlands so that
the water will not be as deep
along the lower streams as it was
up rivers.
One of the places watched most
closely was where the Little and
Brazos Rivers join near Hearne
and below Cameron. The high
waters of the two streams were
expected to meet some time late
today.
Ample warnings have been given
lowland dwellers and they have
gone to higher ground, taking their
livestock and what property they
could,

MISSING GIRL,
BOY RETURN

Carrie Bonavia, 9, and her s.
year-old brother, Billy, are back
at the family home today at 5202
Kansas Ave. N. w.
Carrie and Billy started for the
Truesdale School yesterday morn
ing-but they failed to arrive. In
stead, they trudged to the home
of their grandfather.
When they failed to return from
school, their mother, Mrs. Opal
Bonavia, went to find them and
discovered they had not arrived
at school. She called police, but
the youngsters came home by
themselves.
Ronald Miller, 4, Of Seat Pleas
ant, Nd, also provided some ex-
eitement yesterday when he was
sent with an umbrella to meet his
sister at the car stop.
Ronald had a grand time riding
the car to the end of the line, and
there the conductor turned him
over to the police, who entertained
him until some of his family ap-
peared to take him home.

4 DEAD, PLANE
CRASH LAID
TO TRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 80 G.N.S0.-
Turbulent air currents stirred
into hurricane force by the swift
passage Of a streamlined train
were believed responsible today
for the spectacular crash of a
plane and the death Of its four oc-
cupantS.
The three men and q young
woman were killed late yesterday
when the plane from which they
were taking motion pictures of the
Zephyr, the Burlington railroads
streamlined train, crashed in a
field near Naperville, 80 miles
southwest of Chicago.
AS the silvery train Streaked
into a curve, the pilot dove to
within so feet of the Zephyr,
banked, and flew parallel along
the tracks at an altitude estimated
at 70 feet. E. E. Webster, a wit
ness, said:
"The plane wabbIed viO-
lently and then seemed to do q
loOp-the-lOOp. 1t hit the ground
with the motor full on at the
bottom Of the loop. We figured
the suction of air around the
train must have caused it."
Experienced pilots concurred,
believing Pilot oscar Harold lost
control Of his plane when he
struck the tuInbling air currents
set up by the Zephyr, speeding
along at 80 miles an hour.
In addition to Hanold, who was
20, those killed were:
Miss Wilma ShueSler, "a, a
movie script writer.
Ralph Biddy, SO, Of Detroit, a
veteran motion picture camera
man and news reel photographer.
Howard Adams, 81, motion pic
ture director, former actor, and
radio announcer, who moved here
from Detroit six months ago.
All except Hanold were en-
ployes of the Wilding Picture
Productions, Inc. of Chicago.
Hanold was chief pilot Of the air
craft concern from which the
plane was chartered.
The plane burst into flames
when it crashed, and witnesses at
tempting to rescue the victims
were driven back by the terrific
heat.

On Drunken Driving

New Jersey Licensed Beverage AS

at the convention Of the associa-
tion at the Hotel President, that it
was good business for members to
join heartily in the campaign
against drunken driving. He said
1--WE believe it can be shown
cOncluSively that more drunken
driving is caused by drinking
outside of tavernS than within
them. But we shall be blamed
for the drunken drivers regard
less of where they did their ex-
cesSive drinking and we must
prepare to force out of the trade
every retailer who knowingly
encourages or permits a driver to
drink more than is good for
him."

Keeler said:
"Al wouldn't go baby shop

"When there are a lot of

PUBLISHING AND PRINTING WAGES
ALAMEDA Times STAR


The printing business pays the largest hour
" wage of any industry in California. according
10 the labor market bulletin issued by the state
labor commissioner for the month of March.
The average for the Bay area is S1.137 and for
the state s.972. The publishing business pays
hourly wages averaging s1059.
During the past year the number of en-
ployes in the publishing industry has increased
3.3 per cent, the payrolls Al per cent and the
earnings 3D. The printing industry showed
marked improvement during the year, the num-
Der of employees increasing 1913 per cent, the
payrolls ia per cent and the earnings l per
cent The greatest gain in printing employment
was between February and March this year,
the increase in employees being 142, in payrolls
161 and in earnings 18 per cent.
Even the reputedly rich motion picture in
dustry falls behind printing in hourly pay, its
average rate being 1.04O per hour, which ship
and boat building is II, tires and rubber pre-
duces .784 and water, light and power employs
76.
The printing business ranks we'll toward
the top, giving employment to thousands Of
men and employing forces with more constancy
than in almost any other industry In this con-
nection it may be said that it is of the
largest contributors to the payroll tax exact
ed by the federal and state governments.
These new facts are given for the benefit
of readers who have little or no appreciation of
the extent and Importance Of the printing busi-
ness.

CLEVELAND.-As a freeborn sucker with
The proper reverence for all institutions created
by professional politicians. it is perhaps your
duty 10 take political conventions and their
works quite seriously.
Yet. if you stand off and look at the Re-

passionate objectvity. you likely to con-

"PrepoSterouS!'
Conventions often are like that In almost
time you will find the Democrats going
through the motions Of a convention which will
be so cut-and-dried that no delegate could be
persuaded TO spend train fare for it except for
the promise of festive doingS, plenty of food
and drink. parades, song and dancing in the
Streets.
It is net in the nature of things however.

stitution and the power of the U. S. Supreme
Court from New Deal tampering.
Every orator in the party beat his breast
and declamed that his life blood must be taken
before anyone could cast snoots at these great
institutions and get away with it. And this
issue seemed a popular one.
Overnight the Republicans themselves
changed all that. Talk of constitutional amend

superior Judge Vaughn n ThOmp-
son, whose office stands as a symbol
of justice, deserves the admiration of
the citizens Of Imperial Valley for his
recent action in refusing probation to a
man convicted of an unspeakable crime,
in the face of organized opposition.
o
The courts of the United States.
above any other institution. must be
left free of politics, intimidation and
personal feelings. To carry out the
high duty for which they are intended,
the courts must gain and hold the re-
spect of the public. They have done so
to a high degree, and especially so in
Imperial county.
Last week this county witnessed a
spectacle that would not have occurred
except for the misguided zeal of persons
who did not know details of the case in
which a resident of the county had been
convicted of one of the fOulest crimes
possible. Revolving details of the crime
had not been disclosed to those who
sought to intervene in the defendants
behalf, else their behaviour might not
have come so near the appearance of
an attempt to intimidate the court
through an insinuation of threatened
action at the polls.
Nothing but the severest censure can
attach to the unknown persons who tele-
phoned jurors TO demand that they at
tend a meeting in favor of the defend
ant They were guilty of a crime against
Justice If their identities can be learn
ed, they should be punished. 1t is to the
credit of the jurymen that they did not
comply with the demand, but informed
the court Of the happening.
Those who appeared in court, charg-
ing that the defendant had been FRAN
ed" and later admitting ignorance of
the evidence, acted perhaps through mis-
guided friendship. The show of force
they attempted to make by mass ap-
pearance in the court room, however, is
to be regretted. In their actions was
little to indicate respect for or con-
fidence in the court They were mistak-
en- in the institution and the man-fOr
after all the court is a man-with whom
they had to deal, and the rest of Impe-
rial county should be glad their mistake
was made evident The probation they
sought for the defendant was denied,
and he was sentenced to prison. Had the
young daughter of any one of those
demonstrators been treated as was the
little girl in the case in question, they
probably would have believed the law
too lenient.
Superior Judge Vaughn n Thomp-
son, who presided over the trial, denied
probation and sentenced the criminal to
prison, won deserved acclaim of the
majority of Imperial Valley citizens for
the manner in which he upheld the ira
dition of the courts. He revealed beyond
a doubt that justice cannot be intimi-
dated nor influenced out of its set
course.
