4 MACDONALD, about whom
Y an item appeared here the
other day in connection with
the meaning Of the initial "a" has a
lot Of old friends anxious to give
him away.
The item said that "A" was just
a sort of prefix to the name, a state
ment based upon the word Of office
associates Of the coroner.
His friends do not say that, how
ever. BY phone and by mail. they
have been telling us ever since that
the initial stands for Andrew.
All of which, one hopes, satisfies
the reader who started thA very in
teresting search for the coroner's first
name.
CHECK.

OF a policeman. is not dlUdys q

is in the very nature Of things that
they could not be kept.
But I don't worry, about that.
They got what they needed. ANY,
body who expects something for noth-
ing is all the better for being dis
appointed. They learn something.
What disturbs me Is that the New
Deal is now making to the workmen
the same impossible promises that it
made to the business man. I doubt
If American mechanics are going to
regard SIS month IS years from now
as very much social security New
Deal wages were always the low
est possible because they were set
at depression levels, and now social
security is defined at the level of
about so cents q day 20 years from
now. Everybody must know that it
doesn't mean anything. Next Janu-
ary we must. begin taking money out
of our mems pay envelopes and turn
1t over to the Government.
The. wage does not belong to the
man who earns it so far as this tax on
it is concerned; he is not permitted
to handle it: his employer must de-
duct the tax from the pay envelope.
The ma ajority of the Ford employees
will have to endure that for the next
20 or Is years-unless the act is
thrown out or falls OF its own weight.
Making the social system secure Is
one thing-it Is job for the greatest
statesmen the Nation can produce
but pretending to create security for
selected class in an insecure sys-
tenn Is cruel joke-especially when
you take their money for it.
II hope the American workman will
inquire into this for himself. He
knows as well as any one that there
is no something for nothing even in
politics. -
I'VE don't believe the election Is
going to stop the operation Of natural
forces. The United States cannot be
detected from its course. As for
ourselves, We are going along at our
own job-stronger than ever. We
give competition and we ask for COM
petition; If We must also compete
with a false political system. very
well. We seek ability to pay higher
wages. to give buyers more value, to
find methods that are less expensive,
to keep prices and profits low in
order that volume and wages and
service may be high. That's the
American system; that's brought us
where We are. And nothing better
has turned up to take its place."

declaration:

November have any charges been
preferred against suspects.
In recent months investigators have
said nothing about the case. Fre-

Bowie had repeatedly refused to discuss
the crime which attracted attention
along the Eastern seaboard. He would
not reveal last night whether any OF
the witnesses or suspects, questioned
by police during the most intense In
