DETECTIVES ON RELIEF

Until last week. Harry Hopkins the
Works Progress Administrator, had
IS Investigators ON his pay roll. Now
he has 20 more. It is explained that
these investigators are now devoting
themselves chiefly to the investiga-
ton Of charges that the WPA is in
many states being used mainly for
political purposes. But are these
sleuths finding any such scandals?
To date, according to Roger Bound,
the chief sleuth, I'VE have uncovered
only two or three widespread cases
Of political solicitation and activity
and a scattering number of cases in
VOlving minor officials" In the re-
naming cases the charges somehow
always turn out to be "unsubstanti-
ated."
That is all very strange, for there
are plenty Of people who have been
able In recent weeks to turn up quite
a bit of evidence pointing to the
widespread political scandals in the
WPA in New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Missouri and several
other states. More than that, they
have supplied names and places and
dates and have offered documentary
material in support of their charges.
Yet the evidence they have assem-
bled appears not to be substantial
enough for the Woodworking detec-
tives the WPA has hired to inVesti-
gate the WPA.
Arthur M. Curtis, Republican Ma
tiOnal Committeeman from Missouri,
has come forward with new evidence
to show how the Pendergast machine |
in Missouri has taken complete con-
troll of the WPA organization in that !
state" He also gives names and /
places and dates, while he describes |
in detail the several methods used |
by the Pendergast machine in cOerc-
ing WPA workers into supporting /
the Democratic Party. To be sure,
Mr.. Curtis is a Republican and so is |
not wholly without self-interest in
the matter. Yet certainly Mr.. Hop
kins, that earnest seeker after truth
will not contend that he and his pO-
litical associates have a monopoly
on truth.
1t is curious, to say the least, that
in the face of this great and growing
accumulation of evidence the WPA
detectives should have such Difficult
~ finding proof of the manner in
which the politicians are using the
WPA for their own ends. II is pos
Iible that the fault lies with the de-
ectives themselves. Perhaps Mr..
Hopkins had better hire. not more
but a whole new set of
Sun.

BOSS FARLEY'S JOB

That great and good man, James
A. Farley, doesn't like the American
newspapers. 1T is not my job, of
course, to edit the newspapers of
the country" he told Connecticut
Democratic leaders.
1t is fortunate for the American
people that Boss Farley is not edit
ing their newspapers, for they would
not be learning much. II he should
edit newspapers as he operates the
Post Office Department, their owners
would be in distress.
The American newspapers strive
to warn their readers of what the
Federal government is doing. The
effort of the NRA to license news
papers was an effort to control the
press. 1t failed and the American
people have benefited.
Dictators if they are to win in all
things must control the newspapers.

NEW BLOWS AT THE NEW DEAL

Two major enaetments of the
Roosevelt Administration were
weighed in the judicial balances re-
Gently, and found cOnstitutionally
wanting.
The Supreme Court of the United
States killed the Guffey Act. The
Federal Court Of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia, in a decision af-
fecting in particular the Rural Re
settlement Administration, declared
the Federal Relief Act Of 1885 to be
unconstitutional.
Either decision by itself would
have been staggering blow at the
New Deal philosophy and program.
Coming together, they constitute a
rebuke not equal since that historic
twenty-seventh of May a year ago,
on which the Supreme Court invali-
dated the National Recovery and the
Frazier-Lempke Farm Mortgage
Moratorium acts and held that the
President had exceeded his cOnstitu-
tional powers in removing the late
Federal Trade Commissioner Hum
phrey.
The decision in the Guffey case
wipes out the law whose passage the
President urged upon members Of
Congress lost July, Notwithstanding
the doubts they might entertain,
however reasonable" as to its con-
stitutiOnality.
The knocking out of the Guffey
Act recalls not only the Presidents
activity on behalf of the legislation,
but the entire strategy employed to |
secure its enactment. John L. Lewis, |
president of the United |
Mine Workers of America, threw the /
weight of his organization behind it,
and one strike threat was followed
by another until the law was finally
ammed through Congress. The
whole procedure made a mockery of
he legislative process.
The time has come for the execu-
i've and law-making branches in
to realize that legisla-
i've haste makes legislative waste

the ants back to their point of dis
appearance will sometimes show the
! location of the nest. II It can be
reached, 1t should be destroyed.
Bats to kill ants are effective par
ticularly when the colonies are few
and small. A simple bait is a
sponge moistened with sweep strip
and placed near the ants line OF
march. When enough ants collect
on the sponge, ants and sponge may
be dropped in boiling water. This
method will reduce the ant popula-
tion but will not kill the queen ant
and the younger ants in. the nest.
Poison bats are more effective be-
cause they kill both the foraging
ants and those in the nest. But
poisoned bats must be used with
care when children or animals are
about the house. One mixture for a
poison is a sugar and water strip
containing sodium arsenate. Use a
half pound Of sugar, a pint Of water,
and 65 grains Of sodium arsenate.
Boil the mixture. When cool, mois-
ten a sponge with II and place II
near where the ants have been
swarming. Another simple poison
bait can be made bq dissolving four
ounces Of sugar in one quart Of wa
ter and adding one-half ounce of
tartar emetic. or, small quantities Of
tartar emetic may be worked into a
piece OF bacon rind.
Such poison bait is. OF course, a
hazard, particularly II there are
or pets around. as the pois-
on Is disguised with food. One au-
thority recommends placing the bait
IN a tin can which can be closed.

THEY KNOW WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN SHOULD THEY RESIGN

There can be no question that the
members Of the United States Su-
pTeme Court appreciate the gravity
of their responsibility. While no
fewer than six of the nine-Chief
Justice Hughes and Associate Jus
tees Van Devanter. McReynolds,
Brandies, Sutherland and Butler
are past 20 and eligible to retire on
full pay, there is no sign that any
OF them intends to do so.

What Democratic Editors Are Saying

gering sum Of $4,000, 5000 That
means a debt for every man, woman
and child in the United States of
about $3.50, or s1,4OO for the average
family.
Surely it is time to call a halt on
mounting public debt We cannot
continue to pile UP public debts by
living beyond our income, and not
have our credit suffer or meet pos
sible disaster. Public spending must
be cut, and the best way to reduce
Il is to levy taxes commensurate
with the spending, which will lead
to such a public demand for reduced
expenditures that government Of

ALABAMA PAYS FOR IVA

Alabama is beginning to realize
that another of the New Deal
schemes is not what it was crecked
up to be. That is the iva. This de-
velopment has put the state up
against it for tax money. Whereas
iva has paid the state $4,000 in
taxes, if it had been taxed on the
same basis as private utilities the tax
would have been $4SO.OO0. Being an
authorized government project made
the difference. Now a special ses-
sion of the legislature is hunting for
something else to produce revenue.

HOW TO KILL HOUSE ANTS

Starvation is the cheapest and
most effective way to control house
ants, according to Paul L. Rice, Ex-
tension Entomologist at the UniVer-
sity Of Delaware. The first step in
busting ants from the house, he says
is to cut OF their food supply. Ants
are attracted by such foods as cake,
bread, sugar, and meat. If all traces
OF food are cleaned from pantry and
kitchen, especially from cracks and
corners, and II all food Is stored
either IN a tight refrigerator or in
metal, insect-proof containers, ants
win probably soon leave. Tracing
