broiled in political controversies
Which just goes to show that after
all we are sober-minded, calm
thinking people who hesitate to scorr
reforms when these same reforms
SO manifestly portray the beginning
of another and more progressive
epoch in American history.
We do not believe that every
wealthy man is scoundrel We
do not believe that every PWA
leader is chiseler And, so, we
also do not believe that every Dem
ocrat is worthy of job. We see
much to condemn in the New Deal
but that does not include the IVA,
the AAA, and CCC. The MIRA did
more good Ian it is generally given
credit for. 1t succeeded in checking
some of the worst chiselers. Some
appealed to high legal authority and
some are bankrupt today because
they wouldn't play ball. 1t is not
so much question of the govern
ment interfering with business" It
is more question of the business
man being poor sport and being too
selfish to work with his competitor
in the regulation of fair prices for
the consumer.

THE SENTINEL sees three pos
sible decisions. First, that there will
be a close vote, the result hanging
upon the returns from one or two
States. Secondly, that the united
OPPOSITION of Take-A-WaIk Democrats
and Republicans will prove too
strong, numerically, for Roosevelt.
Thirdly, that many of the rich and
powerful men of the country merely
used Landon as a stalking horse
and that Roosevelt's election has
been assured since Dandon was NOM
mated. Take your pick. THE SEN
TINEL predicts the reelection OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt by a score of
$50 to 181 electoral votes. David
j. Lewis will carry the Sixth Con-
gressional District by $500 votes

Judge for the Sixth Judicial Circuit

England Looking
Toward Coronation
Former Prince of Wales to Be
Crowned in 1897 With
Great Ceremony

Smashing backwards through the
pages of history, the most elaborate,
wildly dramatic coronation cere-
mony in western civilization now
awaits the people of the British en-
pire.
There remains for King Edward
VIII perhaps early in 1937-all the
pagentry, flaming color, and undying
tradition by which he will formally
be vested with the authority of his
throne.
In the history-stained interior of
Westminster Abbey he must kneel to
receive the old, jeweled crown that
is heavy with memories of Kings
that are past and gone.
In crimson silk jack, seated on the
old wooden chair of Edward the
confessor, he must be anointed and
consecrated with oil from the golden
amounting spoon.
With splendor and majesty and,
with music and spoken word, he
must identify himself with the long
line of English Kings who have pre-
ceded him.

of Bank Record

In his annual report to Congress
J. F. T. O'Connor, comptroller of the
currency, today noted material
improvement" in the banking situa-
ton as reflected in periodic state
ments of conditions.
The report, covering the period
ended last October 81, said only five
national banks had failed since in
auguration of Federal deposit in
surance January l, 1884.
These five institutions had de-
posts of only $5,44O,OOO, compared
with peak of 438 national banks
which suspended operations in 1888
involving deposits of $781, $4,000.
In his suggestions for legislation"
O'Connor asked Congress to ''clari-
fy' an existing law whereby nation
al banks may declare dividends only
semiannually.
1853 Receiverships Ended
The report showed 1853 national
bank receiverships were terminated
during the period, including II
banks which were restored to SOL
vency.
''Then stabilizing influence of the
Federal Deposit Insurance corpora
tion," the report said, land its con-
tribution to the general welfare OF
banking in the nation cannot be
over-emphasized.
approximately 100000 deposi-
tors are insured in 1928 banks, and
the deposits of approximately 98.5
per cent of them are fully insured
under the maximum of $4,000 pro-
lection"
Many of the statistics in the re-
port had been made public previ-
ously.

Judges Son on
Way to Prison

Young Phil Kennamer's attorneys
are preparing a last-ditch fight in
Oklahoma Ciyt, to keep their client
out of the Oklahoma penitentiary.
The State criminal court of ap-
peals has ruled he must serve Is
years for the Staying of John Gorrell
at Tulsa in 1884.
A. Flint Moss, chief defense coun-
sci, said at Tulsa he would file Pc
tition for rehearing.
Appellate court judge expressed
the belief there would be no appeal
to the United States Supreme Court
because mo Federal question is in
volved."
Young Kennamer, son of Federal
Judge Franklin E. Kennamer OF
Tulsa, commented:
IF I indicated belief that mat
tiers ultimately would adjust them
selves, people would accuse me of
'cockiness.' If I expressed sorrow
people would say I was whining"

fist, father of the slain Kansas City

gratified" and expressed hope Ken
manner would 'be shown no favors''

Popularity of
Plan Surprises
DR.. Townsend

When DR.. Francis E.Townsend be-
gan peddling his little pamphlet on
old-age pensions among depression
hit neighbors in southern California,
he may have had visions of an Ell
Dorado of security for the elderly
people of the nation.
But the one-time obscure doctor
of the Dakota hills never dreamed
that within little more than two
years the movement he fathered
would become a potent factor in
national politics or that he and the
activities of his organization would
back in the Washington spotlight as
the subject of a congressional in
vestgiation.
''You know when this thing began
to go over, nobody was more sur
prised than was" the 68-year-old
doctor said recently.
DR.. Townsend in precarious fnan-
cial situation himself in 1888, said
he began to worry about the plight
of men and women of his age who
faced poverty or complete depend
ence on others.
The story in Townsend circles is
that the doctor, shaving in the bath
room of his little apartment one
morning in Long Beach, looked out
the window and saw three old wom-
en- collecting scraps of food from re-
fuse barrels in an alley. That spect-
acle spurred him to the action which
resulted in the Townsend move
ment.
The rapid blooming of the scheme
in California, from where even its
opponents admit it has spread east
ward swiftly, is attributed largely
to the fertile field in which the doc
tor scattered tn eseeds of his 5000
a-month pension idea for persons
over so.
The effects of the depression still
were being acutely felt in Long
Beach when he wrote and started
distributing his pamphlet It was re-
ceived there with so much favor by
retired farmers and other middle
class folk who had lost their in
comes and saving that he started
sending out petitions urging adop-
ton of the plan.

After IL Sick Years
Mrs. Dulany Learns
Case of Woman, Given Up as
Hopeless, Terminates With
Positive Cure

Five years ago doctors told Helen
Hughes Dulany she was on her
death bed. Today she is on her way
to fame as designer of industrial
products and costume jewelry.
The story goes back to one day in
St. Luke's hospital in Chicago when
Mrs. Dulany discovered she could
do things with lump of clay and a
set of crayons.
Previous to that she had spent
most of 18 years in bed, had sub
mitted to 16 major operations in
America and abroad and had heard
her case called hopeless.
Inspired by the discovery of latent
talents, she soon was out of bed and
since has been leading life that
would shame any tired business
man.
Last year she designed five cleo
trio ranges and now is working on
more. She also did the interior of
one of the first streaming trains, de-
signed a modernistic vacuum clean
er, spent time in Honolulu on COM
mission for a pineapple company
and earned 100000 fashioning are
