LOUISVILLE, May IL. (UP).
Thomas H. Robinson, Jr., kidnaper
of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, arrested
in Glendale, Calf, late Monday
was brought here by airplane to-
day in the custody of federal
agents. The plane arrived here
at 1915 p. m. EST.
WASHINGTON, May IL (UP)
1T wa, learned today that
Thomas H. Robinson, Jr., ad-
mitted in California after his
capture that he subjected Mrs.
Stoll to merciless violence
while he held her captive.
The admission under the new
federal kidnapping law make
Robinson eligible for the death
sentence. J. Edgar Hoover was
advised by California agents
, that Robinson told them he was
forced to use a lead pipe to
beat Mrs. Stoll into submission.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 12.-

demanded for Thomas H. Robin
son, Jr., latest captive in the de
partment of Justices grand

trict Attorney Bunk Gardner an
nounced today.
Gardner will confer with Fed
eral Judge Elmwood Hamilton aft
er Robinson and his G-Men cap
tors arrive here by plane from
Glendale, Calf, where he was
captured last night.
o., He said he would ask to have
Robinson's trial held at "the earl
lest possible date" but that it
might be the middle of June be
fore the trial could start.
The arrest of Robinson, whose
female approximations have kept
him one step ahead of the law for
a year and a half followed closely
that of Alvin Karpis, Harry Camp
bell and William Mahan.
All have been taken into Gus
tody since May / by federal
agents.
Gardner refused to comment
further on his decision to ask the
death penalty for Robinson who
is under indictment for violation
of the Lindbergh law which speci-
fies the death penalty for kid
MAPPING if the victim is harmed.
Kentucky law provides death
for kidnapping whether or not the
victim is harmed.
Robinson probably will be ar
raigned before Judge Hamilton
late today or tomorrow on the
Lindbergh indictment. Gardnei
has asked that he be held without
bail.

Congress Shoots at WPA Funds .
Straight From the Heart Some
body'S Baby Neglected -.

WASHINGTON.-The strong movements in
Congress to gum up the WPA continuation pro-
gram by eamarking tor public works some
$500 100000 of a proposed Sl500,00OOOO appro-
priation comes straight from the hearts of its
promoters
Unborn babies in the form OF thousands of
fondly imagined city halls, school buildings,
hospitals. and sewer systems are crying for
right to exist and the cries become particularly
poignant in year when every congressman mas
to run for denomination and reelection.
Those public works were promised, publicly
Dragged about by Democratic congressman, and
funds actually appropriated for them by Con-
greSS. That's what makes it so hard when
members enemies at home yell, so what?'
Town meetings were held plans drawn. and
bond issues voted after Congress thought 1t
had earmarked $1,000 100000 OF the work relief
fund for non-federal PWA loan-grant projects
and S450OOO,OOO for housing projects.
The whole PWA program was based on those
figureS-until Roosevelt cut them down to $780,
100000 and Sl00000000000 respectively
About 5000 projects consequently are still
on tap ready for action-f congressman who
sponsored them can only touch the Treasury
for them
PWA now claims to be employing, directly
and indirectly about 10000 people. This num-
Der will fall off sharply toward the end OF the
summer and dwinde to probably about 100000
by the first Of the year.
BY election time the effect OF the decline in
PWA operations may De pdIlIuIly obvious III

Mrs Kurt Grunwald defied the Senate lobby
committee and got away with it. He is a field

The committees decision not to bring Grun-
wald before the Senate for contempt was due
TO a strong desire not to make itself seem ridi-
culous. Grunwald was small fry, and excessively
volube, as we'll as belligerent.
His irrelevant saes in a German accent
drew repeated laughter from the committee
audience and to have hauled him seriously be-
fore the Senate would have been fatal to SEN

well.

Wheeler-Rayburn holding company bill, is
distinct possibility for the honor.

ONE FAMILY BEATS
THE DEPRESSION

A brief news dispatch last week told
how one man, head of a family of five,
got tired of being on relief, leased two
acres with little more than determination
to close the lease, raised garden, sold
vegetables and bought chickens-and has
become self-sustaining His is the spirit
of determination badly needed by many
another who has given up the battle in
the face of lesser odds.
The man who sets his jaw and re-
solves to win, usually does. Too many
give up after few half-hearted jabs at
fate. There are many, many ways Of
earning living Sometimes it is easier
to stay on relief-but there are men,
like the Berkeley man, whose pride die
tates a different course. Mostly, they
win.

PEOPLE WANT GOOD MOVIES
San Francisco Chronicle

In his annual report for the Motion Picture
industry, Will Hays cites the acid test of the
box office to prove that the public wants good
movies Good movies mean clean movies, but
more than that. The type Of production that
rings the cash register, according to the czar
of the industry, is wholesome soundly dramatic,
truly entertaining and artistic.
Mr.. Hays asserts-and long list of produc-
tionS supports his aSserton-that in the past
year the producers brought greater dramatic
themes to the screen than ever before. With
growing public appreciation even better things
may be looked for in the future is his confident
BELIEF.
The motion picture industry has its prob
lens and responsibilities in relation to the pub
lc. Mr.. Hays discusses them quite frankly He
realizes that art must be free In fact he is
so insstent upon this principle that he warns
lest the production code become so infleXible as
to amount to censorship.
At the same time the question of what is art
and what is propaganda is an ever present one.
What is the test-the yardstick? Mr. Hays
leaves it to common sense. In theory this is a
very flexible measure but as a practical rule for
decision it may be hard to find a better one.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-04-28
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD
TAKE OVER THE MUNITIONS
INDUSTRY
There is no doubt but that the federal
government should take OUer the man
ufdctHre of large arms.

The munitions investigation commit
tee recently reported and recommended
that the federal government take over
the industry of producing guns, warships
and ammunition for the Army and Navy.
This committee denounced and condemn
ed in no uncertain terms the American
munitions manufacturers for corrupt
methods of arms sales abroad, opposing
limited armaments, boosting profits sky
high in time of stress, and for frighten-
ing nations into frantic expenditure for
devices of warfare.
For years, little authoritative inform
alton has come from behind the scenes of
munitions industry. 1t was and is
compact and alright business What
information has leaked out has been
almost unbelievably horrible and now
that the Senate's report indicates that
these reports have been correct, there
seems no way left but to take over the
industry upon war to make its profits.
We do not advocate this because the
industry is involved with munitions of
war. If so, we would have to advocate
similar governmental assumption of al
most all lines of business including oil,
clothing, motor cars, food :. . wars are
fought as much with the one as with the
others. We advocate it because oil,
clothing and all the rest enjoy big mar
ketS in peace time as we'll as in war
times whereas munitions business are
comparatively idle in peace times.
We advocate it because the munitions
industrialists have endeavored to turn
human life into profit; have stood in the
way of peaceful efforts; and by urging
and endeavoring to stimulate war, are
the most serious enemies of the rank and
file of business and economic prosperity.
We're tired of wars, tired of paying for
wars, and want no more of them than
necessity compels. Whoever endeavors i,
to force them upon US is public enemy
Number One
1t may be said that more strict con-
troll would solve the problems. In an
swer to that, we believe that the condi-
tiOn of world affairs is such that we
cannot afford to run the risk. Whatever
methods are used by the armament in
dustry might prove to be the deciding
factor which could bring us into another
world conflagration.
The national congress should act
without hesitation, without fear, and
without delay By doing so, they may
save countless American lives and count
less American billions Of dollars.

GREATNESS

GREATNESS
Who is really great? What is real greatness. Who
of has not had The ambition to be great at time
in lives? And yet in the history of The world
have there been few genuinely great men and women
There is decided drh of greatness
Yet there day when greatness more
sought after than today Perhaps that is why there is
little of it. 1t is possible that busy trying
to be great that have time to cultivate the quail
tiles of real greatness?
Real greatness does not depend much upon what
DO upon what ARE! Character makes more
great men than reputation If man would be
truly great he had better BE something and not put
much time into trying to DO something.
The real test of all greatness is the test of eternity.
If mans greatness will stand this test it is probably
of the right sort
