At the beginning Of
spring training this year,
"Bucky" Harris had to
find a good catcher as
we'll as a pitcher, in or
der to get any place this
year.
There was much talk
about trading Cliff Boil
ton for someone else, or
buying a catcher from
some other major league
team. All Of these ne
gotiations fell through
and at the start of the
campaign, Washington
found itself still with
Bolton for the first
string g position, with
Miles, whom they had
purchased from Brook
lyn, and Bill Starr for
the second and third
string positions, respec-
lively.
Bolton, however, has
proven such a surprise
that even his worst
enemy must admit he is
one of the most i'm
proved players in the
game. The base runners
have learned to fear his
arm, and the coaches
are afraid to give the
runners a big lead be-
cause Cliff senses steals
and calls for pitchouts,
and he has caught many
runners off first this
year with his fine throws
to joey Kuhel.

AMATEUR PAGE
REAL SUCCESS
THIS WEEK
BY THE AMATEUR SECTION
EDITOR


An amateur page par excel
lence!
This weeks page is really some
thing woith praising. 1t has
news; it mas features; it even has
a timely bit of poetry.
And the cartoons! 1t seems
there never will come time when
we will cease wondering about the
ability of our cartoonists. They
have something. Ability, original
ity, skill.
Grant Has Talent
Dick Grent, of 1913 Webster st.
N. W., a young cartoonist who
never fails us of a Wednesday,
apparently has a imitleSs supply
of ideas. And his skill is ap-
parent.
Our news stories this week are
again really news. 1t begins to
appear as though our amateurs
are realizing that they must write
news instead of editorials, and
they have learned their lesson
well.
Political Week
This week, the political theme,
as it should be, is predominant.
The country is talking nothing
but politics this week, what with
the Democrats meeting and re-
nominating President Roosevelt.
And SO, naturally enough, our
"lead story" is political, and we
have two cartoons on the Demo
cratRepublfcan theme.
For next week, remember that
all copy must be in the hands
of The Amateur Section Editor
by Wednesday, and that all copy
must be typed and double-spaced.

such benefits through the
Thomas amendment of the 1885
Independent Offices Act. condi.

employees and bothersome by off.
cials has been removed perma-
nently.
When the Thomas amendment
switched thousands of mechanical
workers, including those in Gov.
ernment Printing Office, from a
44-hour to a 40-hour week at the
same pay, only 780 Engraving
Bureau employees came under pro-
visions of the legislation. G. P. O..
promptly switched its few clerical
workers to the same hours as it's
mechanical staff, but for Engrav-
ing such procedure was impoS-
Sible, as about 80 per cent of its
personnel was excluded.
Administrative problems be.

Engraving, with a fifth of the
force free on Saturdays while the
remainder had to toll four hours
at the end of each week at no
more basic pay. Passage of the
bill putting all on the same basis.
however, is expected to clarity
everything.
The Bureau of Engraving and

In Ranks of Party;

What was apparently
to be a two-party race
for the presidency of

nouncement by Repre-
sentative w IL / q m

he will vie, under a
newly-created U Mon
party, against President
Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Gov. ALI Landon
for the greatest job in

Thus the election out
look is of a much more
complex nature, espe-
cially for the hopeful
Democrats. With a de-
cided pull in ballots,
Lemke can swing the
tide of victory to either
the G.. o. P. or the
Donkey forces. Father
Charles E. Coughlin,
fiery Detroit radio priest
and head Of the vast
National Union for So
cial Justice, has been
an avid supporter Of the
North Dakotan and
claims that he can
m u S t er "25,000, 600
voters to Lenke." The
Lemke party embraces
the Townsend old-age
pension, a farm infla-
ton program, and other
radical measures.
The third-party
threat, coupled wit h
cauStic remarks from

for concern in the rank

Strong Backing

Both of the major employe Or

ton of Federal Employees and the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, backed the 40
hour idea for the Engraving
Bureau strongly, and kept con.
Stantly pecking away on the Hill
to have the remedial legislation
pushed through. The Women's
Union of the Bureau No. 105N of
the N. F. F. E., sent the following
telegram to its national officers
yesterday after the bill had been
signed:

The wire was signed by Presi-

who also wired a message of
thanks to President Roosevelt.
Merit Plank Lauded
Mrs. Bernice B. Heffner, acting
A. F. G. E. president, has made
the following comment on the
merit system plank adopted by
the Democratic party, saying in
part:
ut seems to me most signifi-
cant that this plank embOdieS
SO definitely the policy of the
A. F. G. E. This federation, in
its 1885 legislative program, ex.
pressed its policy in practically
the same words, as follows:
protection and extension of

t10nS in the executive service
which do not have to do with
administrative policies The
wording of the 1886 legislative
program of the A.F.G.E.
does not correspond quite as
closely with that of the plat
form plank, but it has been a
principle of this federation
from the outset that all non.

be placed under Civil Service"

Now Twenty-Eight

After tWenty-eigh years of

Warren Currier, general sales man.
ager of the I. V. Hardware Co.
yesterday, I'VE are able to pass on
to our thousands of friends over
this area the results of our ex-
perience.
Because of our position of op-
Grating stores in every community
in Imperial and Yuma valley, we
are besieged by the representatives
of the various hardware and kim
dred lines to act as their dealers.
Naturally we try to select only the
outstanding lines. AS a result any
customer of an I. V. Hardware store
has at his disposal the best prod
uctS on the market.
This same thing stands true of
Pioneer Flint Kote' roofing which
we are calling to the attention in

Home Ownership
Now Made Easy
In Imperial Valley

Owning your own home" ac-
cording to C. E. Sones of the 'Sones
Lumber Co., is not only cheaper
but it is foresighted and brings
with it a feeling of satisfaction in
the joy of living that nothing else
can bring.
THE joy of sitting down and
planning a home of your own
provides a thrill that nothing else
can duplicate. The many little
details that you have always long
ed for in a home can be yours.
No longer is it necessary to adapt
your life to a home that was de-
signed by someone who had an
entirely different idea in mind.
Under the convenient and easy
terms of the FILA, building and
owning a home is within the reach
of nearly everyone. We would
deem it a favor to have the op-
portunity of the operation of this
plan to anyone interested" he said.

Under the National Housing act,
the Edgar Bros. Co. hardware
stores are placing Frigidaires in
scores of homes on terms which
fall lightly on the budget of al
most any family.
Especially in Imperial Valley is
adequate electrical refrigeration for
food necessary. Not only is there
distinct saving in the food budget
by cutting down waste but there
is no gain saying that a Frigidaire
will contribute to the health and
well-being of the family said

Living in a shabby or inconve-

according to Everett Miner of the

Under the FILA. you can bor-
row money with which to paint,
repair or modernize your home.
Never in the history of the nation
has it been so easy to fix up and
paint up.
The Whiting-Mead Co. has been
specializing in this service and as
result has already helped dozens
of Imperial Valley home owners
in realizing a long deferred hope
in living in home that was more
cheerful and contributed more to
the happiness Of the family be-
cause of having some necessary
work done.
It must not be overlooked, he
explained further, that money ex-
pending in beautifying the home
is not an expense, but on the other
hand increases the value of the
property effected and contributes
daily dividends in happiness.

NEGRO CONGRESS CALLS FOR
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF
BLACK LEGION AND XXX

torney General Cummings is as fol
lows:
June 5, 1886
Hon. Homer S. Cummings
The Attorney General of the United
States
Department of Justice
Washington, d. c.
Dear Mr. Cummings
The National Negro Congress,
composed of several hundred affili-
ated organizations in more than 80
states, urges an immediate investi-
CATION OF the activities of the Black
Legion and the Ku Klux Khan by
the United States Department of
Justice.
There exists sufficient evidence
from various sections of the coun-
try that these terroristic bands do
not confine their criminal activity
within the borders of a single state.
There is also evidence that in some
instances these criminal groups
make use of kidnapping, mob vio-
lence, murder to prevent citizens
from voting, to prevent labor or
CARNATIONS from building trade un-
ions. There is also sufficient evil
dence that the brunt of the attack
of the Black Legion and the Ku
KluX Khan is borne by Negro citi-
zens, who are inundated by the
threats and display of force by
these organizations.
In recent months responsible
daily newspapers have been full of
accounts of the Ku Klux Khan and
other hooded orders riding at large
groups. In Atlanta, Georgia. Tam
pa and Miami, Florida there have
been such recent occurrences. AS
well the increase in the number of
lynchings can be directly traced to
the existence of these bands.
Not only have these criminal
acts been current in the South but
as well the activity has spread in
the North. Quite recently fiery
crosses have been burned in the
environs of Cleveland, Ohio at May
field Road and at Cleveland heights
In the city.-of Detroit leaflets incit-
ing white citizens to violence a
gainst Negroes have been given
wide circulation. And these are
but a few of the graphic incidents
which characterize the growth of
a nation wide connected effort to
deprive the Negro and other groups
of constitutional rights.
You are not unfamiliar with
serious race riots which have oc-
cured in East st. Louis, Chicago
and Washington, d. c. At the pre-
sent time a recurrence of these
disorders seems inevitable unless
the Department of Justice performs
its function by making an investi-
