No theatrical first nighters have
been SO constant in attendance and

To my notion, the greatest prog
ress and brilliance in newspaper
writing in the past few years have
been accomplished by the new crop
of sports writer's. I refer to Bill
Corum, Joe Williams, Quentin Rey-
nolds and several others whose
names elude me at the moment.
I have a zero interest in sports,
football, baseball tennis, hockey,
boxing, etc. yet read the sprightly
commentators for their flushed
earnestness and fortnight fusion
of fact and fancy. A prim secre-
tary I know with the same lack of
interest does the same thing. AL
so an 80-year old aunt. To write
and interest the outsiders as they
do is a tribute to their skill.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Everyone il
the writing and drawing field has
thrown a figurative hat in the air
over the most spectacular come
back in syndicate field history of
Rube Goldberg. For 20 years Gold
berg rode the top wave and became
deservedly one Of the richest of the
pen and ink funny men.
Then. when a shade past so,
came the inevitable dip in popular
ity that comes to all limners and in
almost every instance means pro-
fessional oblivion. But Rube has
beaten Fate's rap. He might cas-
lily have become a gentleman OF
leisure and spent the rest of his
years enjoying life in the grand
manner.
But he bided his time-and to
appearances was taking the up
set standing and with a smile. Be-
hind the scenes he was bit ul-
happy and spending most of his
hours clutching for the Big Idea
that would put him back in the
running. And after two years
Eureka!-h found it.
A wide-awake young syndicate
man. Frank Markey, sponsored the
idea. A marinade picked in the
amusingly exaggerated Goldberg
ian spice. called Lala Paloosa and
Rube is out front again with a
hefty string of papers. Not once
during the travail did Rube fail
to go to his drawing board daily.

LEST WE FORGET

Today certain factions are subject
ing the American Constitution to Wig
orous attack. They are saying it is out
NODDED and unable to cope with modern
conditions. And they are suggesting
changes and amendments which, in
some cases, would amount to complete
emasculation of the rights and liber-
ties we now enjoy under Constitutional
protection.
It is usually easier to criticize than
to defend, and the critics of the Consti-
tuition have found many listeners and
not few converts. Lest we forget the
virtues of the Constitution, it might be
we'll to recall these words, uttered in
1878, by the great English statesman,
William E. Gladstone: "The American
Constitution is, so far as l can see, the
most wonderful work ever struck off
at given time by the brain and pur-
pose of man."

Congress Faces
a Dual Responsibility
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
.SentineLs of the RepubLic-

AS members Of Congress reconvene at
Washington, America is hearing many
familiar promises of economy in gov
eminent.
Let's hope our legislators mean it this
time. Let's hope they remember that
the staggering debts piled up by gov
eminent must be paid out of our earn
ings and our savings; that what they
do to the public budget affects our
family budget as well.
Let's hope that, unlike New Year
resolutions, the promises will be full
filled. It's time they were. For today,
as result of reckless spending by our
federal, state and local governments,
public debt of more than fifty billion
dollars has been written up for us, the
workers and the earners of the United
States, to pay.
Fifty billion dollars! That's lot of
money. And it will take a lot of taxes
to pay It off. The interest and service
charges alone cost us billions every
year. It's one of the reasons why five
out Of every twenty-five dollars of the
national income - which means the
money earned by the American peo-
ple-is consumed by taxes. And unless
the economists are wrong, lot of the
bills which these taxes are straining to
meet will be handed down as a grim
legacy to our children and our grand
children.
But you can't blame it all on Con-
gress. The politicians penchant for
Squandering the peoples money has ex-
tended to states and cities and smaller
units as well. More than twenty billions
of our fifty billion-dolla public debt
is, in fact, charged against state and
local governments.
We pay for that, too-if not directly,
then in higher rents and in heavier
bills for food, clothing and other neces-
sites, all camouf1aged as hidden
taxes"
Only large dose of the frequently
promised economy in government can
tighten the load. Only an escape from
the billionitis complex of the past few
years can help.
Today our Senators and Representa-
tives at Washington can do their part.
Because of the Importance of the pres
ent session, the eyes Of the entire
nation are upon them as never before.
If they keep their promises and apply
the brakes instead of the acceIeratOr
to public spending they will not only
ease our burdens but will set an ex-
ample for state and local politicians to
follow. They face double and a seri-
GUS responsibility.
Let's hope they meet it squarely-not
only with our own relief in mind, but
to assure the security and prosperity
of America.

Some things are timeless. Among
those things are decentralization of
action within the law, freedom of ex-
preston, freedom of speech. The Con-
stitution has nothing to do with booms
or depressions-nothing to do with
partisan politics. 1t simply guaran-
tees US those essential liberties for
which men have fought for thousands
