DROUGHT AREA
TOUR NEARS

President Roosevelt's Great
Plains drought area committee
has announced it will tour
the arid West beginning August
IL and present a proposed long
range relief program to the Chief
Executive later in the month.
Loans and grants for rural
identification and a land pur-
chase scheme that may run into
millions of acres are high points
of the tentative program.
Prof. ReXford Guy Tugwell, one
of the seven members, is working
also on a program to depopulate
sections of the Dakotas, Montana
and Wyoming where human sub
sistence through dry-land farm.
ing has been made virtually i'm
possible.
An estimated so million dollars
is needed until next March merely
for relief through human food,
stock feed and subsistence grants,
officials said. Only a small part
of this sum will show a return
in the form of improved irriga-
ton and water storage. Officials
said most of the sum will be needed
for bare subsistence.
The drought committee will hold
its first meeting here Friday,
listening to reports of sub
committees investigating various
phases of the problem and means
to solve it.

day and announced herself ready
to take the witness stand when
the hearing is resumed tonight
and answer charges she is an
unfit person" to have custody of
her four-year-old daughter, Mar.
ilyn.
The charges were made by her
former husband, DR.. FRANKLIN
Thorpe, a young physician, who
testified at length in a special
night court hearing last night.
The doctor defended himself
against assertions he had ENTER
tanned" women in his swank
Tolucca Lake home and refused
to comment on whether he had
ever before been married.
And while on the stand the
doctor gave his explanation of
why he allowed Miss Astor to have
custody of the child despite the
fact a court order had awarded
the little girl to him. He said:
II thought she would be a
good influence on her mother.
1 let the child stay with her
mother from the time of our d.
vOrce april 10, 1885, until Oc-
tOber 10 of the same year. / let
her pay all the expenses because
she insisted on it. Indeed, she
supplied the child with every ma
terial benefit"
Flanked by attorneys and many
Hollywood friends, pretty Miss
Astor sat seemingly unperturbed
in the crowded court room when
her husband was asked if he felt
she had treated the child Gin a
motherly manner" After a pause
he answered:
well, no."
The night session last night was
the opening of complicated legal
skirmiSh in which Miss Aston seeks
to have the divorce decree set aside
and asks an annulment in It's
stead. She also seeks custody of
the child and asks that a property
settlement be voided.

Hooking and Chavez
In Fine Performance


Lloyd Pine of Akron, Ohio, went
down to defeat before a vicious body
attack by Tony Chavez, New Mexican,
in the American Legion fight card at
the Fox Theatre last Monday eve
ming.
Pine came to Butte with a fine rec
ord and in the opening stanzas OF the
card looked very promising. Chavez
however. kept RECENTLY after him and
after Pine had received a number OF
hard solarplexus blows, he weakened
~perceptibly and it was only a matter OF
time Of how long the fight might last,
but the winner was never in doubt after
the third round.
On the programs that were handed
to the spectators it was suggested that
they indicate whom they wanted the
promoter to bring to Butte for cards IN
the future. A worthy opponent Oh
Chavez should pack the house.
A little surprise wa indicated in dis

easily over his opponent. Roper sur

ESSENTIAL
TO GOOD DIGESTION

DR.. William NJ Happ, professor OF
medicine, University of Southern Cali
fornia School of Medicine, says: CAS- a
result OF attending lectures and listen
ing to some radio talks on the subject,
the modern housewife has attempted to
educate her family into balanced meals,
which, although d~ietically correct, are
often consumed by the family with the
same grace as a dose Of castor oil"
DR.. Happ goes on to say, 1T is pos
sible to eat for enjoyment and at the
same time consume needed dietary
principles. 1t is not necessary that all
of our foods be complete foods.
Bread, for instance, has always had
an important place in the dietary Of
working people. 1t is inexpensive, it is
palatable and it is filling. 1t supplies
energy through a readily assimilable
carbohydrate.
"A good chef prepares food that is
essentially palatable food that
smells, looks and tastes good. The mat
ter of calories, proteins and vitamins is

is interesting to note that his meals are

salads and fruits freely. His food is

AYERS WILL NOT
EXPECT HELP FROM
FANS AGAINST KUSEK

Tex Hager and Mickey MCGUIRE
ran true to form at the wrestling match
at the Miners Union Hall last Tuesday.
The match between these two was one
OF the c~leanest and most scientific ever
seen on a local card. MCGUIRE finally
won the match, but only after consider
able difficulty. Hager is a fascinating
wrestler to watch. He is as quick as a
cat and knows all the ins-and-outs OF
the game.
In the second event OF the evening
AL Lee was compelled to disquahty
Klein Kusek. Some of the spectators
became insensed at his rough tactics
and threw chairs into the ring. Bob
Cummings was awarded the decision by
the referee.
Horace Barber, who put in his first
appearance in the Butte ring went
three fast rounds with Ralph Roy OF
Ogden, Utah, neither N getting a tall.
Next Monday evening two Oklahoma
cowboys have been matched in the final
event; namely Otis Klingman OF Okla
homa City, and Tex Hager Of Tulsa,
Oklahoma. While both of these boys
hale from the state of Oklahoma they
have never met. Much interest CEN
tiers in this affair as there is unusual
rivalry between the two men. The
spectators are in for something worth
while in this card. Klingman was for
mer wrestling champion Of the U. ).
Navy and is also the u%nrecognized mid
dleweight champion of the world, rated
by the wrestling association as having
made greater strides toward the top
than anyother mar in the game.
In the semi-main event Klein Kusek
and Eddy Meyers are matched. In the
last several matches Kusek has been
using some very dirty tactics, but My
ers is a postmaster at this sort Of
thing himself, so this bout promises
many exciting elements. AT any rate,
it is doubtful if Myers will expect the
spectators to interfere in his behalf
with chairs. He probably will be able
to take care of Kusek very nicely.
Patrick Meehan, a big lrishman, by
the sound Of the name, and at n time
connected with the Northwest Mounted
Police will make his first appearance in
a Butte ring. He was born in County
Cork, Ireland. He has been matched
with Jack Robbins, with whom Butte
fans are very familiar.

A NEW ECONOMIC MACHINE


Our objective, planned economy-not
for profit but service. By planned
economy we mean l., measuring the
material and cultural needs Of all the
people in terms of capacity supply. 2.
Sy%nchronizing all the tools OF produc-
ton and distribution to meet human
needs.
Planned economy would not build
three times as many shoe factories as
we need; put 81 rival grocery stores in
a city of 10000 people; waste millions
in advertisement; build two parallel
lines of railroads when one would
handle the traffic. Such competition
results in waste and increased prices.
Competition must give place to CO.
operation, the Christian ideal
Competition measures markets in
terms of dollars, not needs.
Under cooperative planning we will
have no shortage OF food none need
go in rags; we can build comfortable
homes in place of city slums and coun-
try shacks.
All may have medical and dental at
'%tention and disqualification. None will
be deprived Of the means of an edu-
cation.
Work hours will be reduced as RE
~chanization increases and all will have
opportunity for recreation and culture.
Social insurance will be provided for
all-old age, sickness, accident, death.
Planned economy will be built on the
principle of everyone working for the
we'll being of society.
Those who won't work will eat not.
It will curb large incomes and level
up small incomes.

Socialist PLATFORM" Mr.. Thomas said,
unless he carried it out on a stretcher.
what Mr.. Roosevelt has given us
is state capitalism that is to say, a
system under which the State steps in
to regulate and in many cases to own,
not for the purpose of establishing pro-
duction for use, but rather for the pur-
pose Of maintaining in so far as pos
sible the profit system with its immense
rewards OF private ownership and its
grossly unfair division Of the national
income" Mr.. Thomas explained in
what many consider to be one of the
finest speeches Of his career.
abolish the System"
"Some Of it (the New Dead was
good reformism, but there is nothing
Socialist about trying to regulate or
reform Wall Street. Socialism wants
to abolish the system of which Wall
Street is an appropriate expression"
Mr.. Thomas then called the roll of
the major acts of the Roosevelt adj
ministration and pointed out how little
they had in common with Socialism.
In an emphatic conclusion Thomas
said There is only one victory worth
the seeking by the heirs of the Ameri-
can Revolution. It is the victory Of
a fellowship OF free men, using govern
ment as their servant, to harness our
marvellous machinery for abundance,
not poverty; peace, not war; freedom
not exploitation. This is the victory
in which alone is practical deliverance
from the house OF our bondage. This
is the victory to which we dedicate
ourselves"

COLLECTIVE OWNERSHIP

Planned social economy for collec-
tive service is contingent upon society
owning and controlling the tools OF
production, distribution and commune
cation.
Its %ultimatum would be the creative
sharing Of the productivity Of natural
resources and the big tools of a ma
chine age.
By collective ownership we mean,
not governmental, but social owner
ship.
Social brotherhood without economic
brotherhood is a misnomer.
