JANET AND FREDDIE RELIVE
BIGGEST THRILL OF CAREERS

Janet Gaynor and Frederic March
recently lived over again some of the
most thrilling moments of their ca
reers as motion picture stars as
make-believe scene on a make-believe
set recalled what had happened to
each in real life.
Stage Academy Dinner
The petite actress and handsome
actor attended the annual award din
ner of the Motion Picture Academy of
Arts and Sciences. Dinner-jacketed
musicians played soft love ballads.
Beautifully gowned women and taste
fully CARRIED escorts slipped cocktails
in the lavishly-decorated room. There
were speeches of praise, and loud ap-
plause.
All of it, however, occurred on a
sound stage at Selznick International
studio, for a scene in the technicolpr
picture, "a Star Is Born" in which
Miss Gaynor and March gre co-star-
ring at the Vance Theatre. Every de-
tail of the Academy dinner was dup
Heated, even to the priced golden sta
tuettes awarded annually.
The scene depicted Miss Gaynor, in
her role as a movie star, receiving an
award, and to her it seemed very real.

Wake Doubtful In
Liquor Election
(C'ontinued from Page One.)

(C'ontihued from Page One)
especially since Mecklenburg and
Wayne counties voted against liquor
control in recent elections. 1t is
agreed that the drvs have been doing
a very efficient job with a minimum
Of ballyhoo and that if the control
forces sit tight without doing any
thing that the drys will win. 1t is gen
orally conceded that the situation
here in Wake county is close and like
ly to remain that way.
The fact that Wake county already
has two wet counties contiguous to
it-Franklin and Nash-with Wilson
county almost touching it, and the
further fact that both Durham and
Johnston counties have recently voted
for liquor stores, thus making it sur
rounded by five wet counties, is re-
earded by a good many as indicating
that this county will vote for liquor
stores. 1t is frankly conceded that
thousands of Raleigh and Wake cOun-
ty people have been buying thousands
of dollars worth of liquor in the
Franklin and Nash county stores ever
since they have been opened, that still
more will now buy from the Durham
and Johnston county stores. AS a re-
suit, more and more of the people in
the county are deciding that Wake
might as we'll have some liquor stores
of it's own and get the benefit of the
revenue now going to other counties.

BRINGING
ALL THE NEWS
TO IMPERIAL
VALLEY
UNIONIZATION OF
CALIFORNIA FARM LABOR

only the most radical labor unionists.
or those whose aim is the wrecking of
agriculture, can fail to understand the
assertion OF Colonel Walter E. Garrison
president OF the Associated Farmers of
California, that farmers in this state
Will not consent to complete unioniza-
ton OF the agricultural industry. Col.
Garrison's fault, if he has one, is that
ne does not go far enough. California
farmers cannot afford to tolerate union
domination.
Consider this: The average farm labor
wage in California is 30 cents an hour.
Three-fourths of the farmers in Cali
fornia last year earned less than $500
and their hours of work had not limit.
The present California farm owner,
under average conditions, is not earning
80 cents an hour himself.
If he attempts to pay much more to
farm laborers, he may as we'll give them
his farm.
There is another, and an even more
potent reason why California farmers
will not let a labor union dictate their
labor policies. 1t is a matter of expe-
rience and psychology. The farmers
know that 80 of the SO strikes in the
states agricultural history were fo-
mented by members of the Communist
party. The other four included Com
munists among the strike leaders.
Agriculture's experience with strik-
ers has not been happy. 1t has, rather,
been such that the farmers, slow to
wrath though they may be, have at last
decided that their business is their own
and they intend to run it. Agricul-
ture, it is more than possible, will be too
hard nut for union organizers to crack.
Farm produce is perishable. 1t will
not hold over in the fields while farmers
dicker with poWer-mad sit-down strik-
ers. Delay would mean ruin to the farm
ers. The result is obvious. The farmers
are liable to do what peace officers in
Detroit, for instance, have not done. They
are liable to move the strikers off their
property.
Violence is not to be desired. That
union organizers will realize in time the
treacherous ground on which they tread
in the agricultural fields is much to be
hoped-for the sake of the unions as
well as for the sake of the farmers

The minimum Wage Decision
Waters MuddieI' Than EUer NOU
A One-W0n Amendment

WASHINGTON-The fact that both sides
claim they have been helped, and that the judi
ciary issue has been clarified by the Supreme
Courts new minimum wage decision, doesn't
really mean that this major development hasn't
actually made The waters mudder.
In effect one has amended the Const-
tuition.
few days ago the Constitution, according to
the only authoritative interpretation-tha of the
Supreme Court-said states couldn't have mini
mum wage laws for women and children.
Now the Constitution says such laws are
permissible.
The difference is that Justice Owen j. Rob-
ers youngest member of the court, who voted
no in the to decision against the New York
minimum wage, now has given his support to
Washington states minimum wage law in
favorable to decision.
This ability of Roberts to switch from side
to the other such an important issue makes
him very important man. He becomes even
more important than the President at such
times, as he is able to say what shall and what
shall not be the law of the land.
Chief Justice Hughes conspicuously omitted
one fact when he undertook to explain how
court majority, such as WIS now approving the
Washington law, had turned down the New
York law last year. Last year. he said, the court
had held that it could decide only whether the
New York case was dstinguishable from the Ad-
kins case in 1923, in which District of Colum-
bia minimum wage law killed, and whether
the state Of New York had asked for recon-
sideration Of constitutional principles decided
in the Adkins case.
The court decided that the state had not
asked for such a reconsideration and hence
wasn't entitled to it. Hughes member OF
the four-man majority which stood for uphold
ing the act
But last fall the states of New York and
Illinois came back to assert that the court had
been mistaken and they requested emphatically,
such reconsideration in a petition for rehear-
ing begged that the court not permit the rights
of millions of working women to be jeopardized
and obscured by legal techncalities.
And the court refused to grant the rehear
ing That was before President Roosevelt sent
his sensational message to Congress asking for
power to pack the court.
The opponents of the Presidents plan now
say the court has proved it can function flexibly
on issues of major Social-economic Importance.
AdmniStratoniStS say the decision helps
them in their difficult task of convincing the
country that the Constitution isn't fixed,
immutable document which compels the court
to interpret it along hard and fast rules Also
they say, the dissent of the four most conServa-
tive justices has shown that I'VE must get those
four men Off"
Counting the Washington state decision the
quartet of Sutherland, McReynolds, Butler and
Van Devanter has stood solidly against mini
mum wage laws III three successive decisions
But on the third and last occasion they could
MT get fifth man to 60 along with them.

1N INDUSTRY ONLY
f5 YEARS OLD -es

On April ID, in Springfield, Mass,
many of Americas leading Industrial
lists and manufacturers will gather to
pay honor to the man who made their
position possible.
He is Charles E. Duryea, inventor of
the first successful automobile built in
America.
When you step into your modern,
high-powered, easy riding machine ca
pable of from 60 to 100 miles an hour
over we'll paved roads, remember that
Mr. Duryea designed and built the first
successful American automobile only 45
years ago. Much less than lifetime!
Three years after his first successful
experiment, Mr.. Duryea won a race
from Chicago to Evanston, ILL.,, and back
"a distance of approximately so miles
in the astonishing time of seven and
a half hours.
They average more than hundred an
hour over the Indianapolis speedway to-
day.
In less than the span of one mans
life, the automobile has changed from
roadside joke to one of the mainsprings
of American commerce and industry.
What will the next AS years mean in
similar developments in, say, aviation?
The automobile should give us part
of the answer-our imagination the rest.

Other Editors Saw
THE HIT-AND-RUN WRITER
(Santa Barbara Daily NeWs)

Ever since the automobile created a traffic
hazard, the hit-and-run driver has been the
most contemplate of motorists.
But he has rival who antedates him by
several generations and who is just cowardy
the ht-and-run writer.
Writing letters to the editor has been a priv
iege that has been accorded readers Of most
newspapers. These letters should serve several
purposes:
l. They create sort OF open forum, in which
American citizens can blow off steam in eXer-
cisng their constitutional right of free speech
through free press.
g They introduce a variety of subjects and
opinions, often at variance with the newspapers S
editorial policy, which add to the general in
tereSt and zest of the papers content.
3. They sometimes inStigate important re-
FORMS or present viewpoint that leads to
solution of VeXing problem.
Writers of letters to newspapers however,
often forget certain cardinal principles that must
be observed The communications must be fac-
tual they must escheW personalities; they must
avoid libel; and, above all, they must bear the
writer's real name, evidence OF good faith.
Most writer's seem to believe that If they sign
their name. they alone responsible for any
repercussions from what they say. That is not
true either legally ethically II letter is
libelous it is the newspaper which is liable in
law; and it is the newspaper which rightfully
is condemned by the public.

ONE BLESSING AMID
RECENT DISASTER

Out of the debris left by recent middle
western floods is gradually emerging
ray of hope that may have direct bear
ing on the nations entire economic life.
1t is to be found in the increased public
interest in re-forestation as a method
of flood control.
Engineers, reclamation experts and for
estry agents can talk and plan and
work until they are blue in the face, but
without the support of public inter-
est, they cannot accomplish much along
the line of land and forest preservation.
Once the weight of public opinion is be-
hind them, however, their knowledge
takes on definite outlines, becomes use
full because it is put to use.
The public knows now that the floods
which swept through cities and over
farms could have been prevented by an
adequate control program, embracing
engineering projects and tree planting
on barren slopes. Neither one, without
the other, would be complete. Together,
engineering and forestry. can make
floods almost obsolete.
If, at the price of one disastrous flood,
numerous others can be prevented in the
future, then the result of the one flood
is not to be written entirely in red ink.
It only proves that the human race has
not lost the ability to learn by expert
ence.
