AIDING YOUTH TOWARD JOBS

The National Youth Administra-
tion is to take $50 young men from
ages Is to 25 to the village erected
at the Passamaquoddy power project
in Maine for the course of special
training. 1t is proposed to aid these
fellows to discover from practice,
what kind of work they can do best
1t is a hard problem for many
young men to decide what kind of
work they want to do. If the gov
ernment's training can aid them, it
will have real value. AS a rule
young men who can't decide what
kind of work to do, had better take
they can get. Frequently
it is that or nothing. Every job is
possible starting point to success
full life. AS you can see a high
anywhere from the sur
country. it doesn't make
30 much difference where you start,
ls what you aim for.

evidence of popular indifference.
A beautiful bunch of flowers on a
soldiers grave speaks through the
symbol of its colors. The red tells
OF the energy and activity and life
blood offered to the country. The
blue tells of the heavenly peace
which we trust is enjoyed by these
veterans. The white speaks of the
purity of theirpatriotie feeling. The
yellow tells of the fame of their ar
dent desire for, the safety of their
country and families. And the green
leaves of these plants tell of the
spring time of hope for reunion with
these men.
So let us lay our reverent tribute
of beauty on these resting places,
and make it clear that the veteran
is never forgotten.

consumption of goods. If prices go
UP, the people are not able to buy
so much.
1t is claimed that many prices are
raised too high by monopolies and
combinations. If SO, such combina-
tions should be controlled. In the
main, prices are high because. pro-
duction costs are high. High taxes
make goods cost more, and when
the industries were induced to reduce
their hours of labor, such action in
creased the cost of producing goods.
II the people want short hours OF
work, they must be prepared to pay
enough higher prices for goods to
make up.

DECORATION DAY

For many years it has been Gus
, tomary to decorate the graves of all
soldiers on the National Decoration
Day. Well may our people partici-
pate in this function. AS they draw
near these last resting places. these
boys" who have gone seem nearer
than they had been, and the chasm
that separates the two worlds not so
deep. We recall their presence more
clearly and feel deeper affection for
them.
1t is a pleasure to go into well
kept cemeteries, and see the care
and thought given to the maintenance
of these resting places. The soldier
has we'll earned that quiet and beau
titled place. Sometimes when one
goes into burial grounds in some
remote neighborhood, one finds such
graves not well cared for.
You may see faded little flag to
mark the interment of soldier, but
thick weeds and long grass and
prickly briars show that no one
seems to care. If the smaller COM
munities can't afford money to beau
tify such cemeteries, it would seem
as if the people might get out few
times in a year voluntarily. and
clean up those grounds, and at least
see that no soldiers grave shows

many years, will come to whirl-

Experimentation fight to reflect
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia is
concerned.
Scheduled is a parade to Madi-

hour program of speeches, all Of
which will be broadcast.
The Democratic campaign to
elect jeremiah T. Mahoney moved
over to Brooklyn's Academy OF
Music last night for it's borough
windup and was featured by a
lukewarm Endorsement of Ma

said almost as many nice things
about LaGuardia as he did about
Mahoney.

QN.S) .-While American holders
of lucky Irish sweepstakes tickets
were brooding today over Smelling
out As per cent taxes to Uncle Sam
on their winnings of $685. 800,
Representative Edward A. Kenney
plans to push his program to re-
lieve the tax burden by means of a
national lottery.
Spurred by public response to
the Cesarewitch stakes, the New
Jersey Democratic Representative
i. predicted today he would get action
on his lottery bill in the special
session of Congress beginning No

home the money now pouring into
Ireland for sweeps tickets at the
rate of something like $6,0oO,O0O

A public hearing on the bill is
assured during the approaching
session, Kenney said. He hopes
for its p; cage during the regular

IhatS what he told lnQulr1ng
reporters at Hyde Park.
That's his answer to the Joe
Kennedys and the Jesse Joneses
of his Administration who have
been begging the President to take
oft the surplus taxes and revise
the capital gains taxes.
OFFSETS TAX CAMPAIGN
It is also construed here as his
brief, but compelling, political an
swer to two successive half hours
! on the radio by former Governor
/ Alfred M. Landon and former
President Herbert Hoover, both of
whom offered sage political advice
to the II million who voted against
President Roosevelt's second term.
The statement of concern for
the loWer-paid groups offsets the
tremendous recent propaganda by
interested individuals that the
President was being forced to rec
ommend changes in the tax bur-
den on corporations imposed by
the most recent tax bill.
Those on the inside of the Ad-
miniStration feel that the tax
changes may be recommended

CORN LOANS FROM RFC
But large financial, fiscal and
tax matters have been settled over.
night at Hyde Park where the
President will remain until after
Tuesday next.
AS predicted yesterday, the corn
crop surplus will be removed as
a market embarrassment by a
method of lending money to farm
erS on their corn crop through
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton funds. This handles the
farmers and doesn't mess up the
budget.
There remains to be settled the
problem of financing the crop-con-
troll program. Since the Supreme
Court has outlawed the old AAA
benefits and taxes, a substitute
must be found. 1t will cost about
500, 100000 next year.
In effect, it is an ever-normal
granary plan by which the surplus
crops will be available for con-
sumption in lean years. But it
costs cash money to financ-, to
lend money to farmers to store
their crops and not rush them to
an overcroWded market.

HAHN DEFENSE
TO ASK JUDGE
FREE ''POISONER"
BY EVELYN OBERMAN


CINCINNATI, Oct. 80 G.N.S).
Defense attorneys today mapped
two moves, which they hope will
free Anna Marie Hahn, accused
female bluebeard," from the web
of circumstantial murder evidence
which the State has spun about
her.
First, they planned to ask q
directed verdict Of acquittal, on
the grounds that the State has
failed to prove Annals guilt "be-
yond a reasonable doubt"
FIGHT GENERAL PROOF
Then, if this is not granted. the
defense will demand that "corol,
larry evidence" concerning three
poison murders with which Anna
is not specifically charged in this
trial, and the testimony Of George
Heis, whom she is accused Of max
ing a permanent paralytic by
poison, be stricken from the record.
1t is the defense contention that
only evidence concerning the
of 78-year-old Jacob Wagner Tor
whose murder the accused "bldhde
Borgia" is on trial. should be ad-
mitted.
ACCUSED TO TESTIFY
The State, however, won the
permission of the court to delve
into other murders and has con-
tended she murdered four elderly
men and paralyzed Heis with
poison after obtaining sums Of
money from them and forging a
Wagner will.
Anna, mother Of a 12-year-old
son, has appeared calm through
out the trial, but today it was re-
vealed she has shown signs of
breaking under the strain. A jailer
saw the blonde Bavarian clutching
a handkerchief damp with nerv-
GUS perspiration in her cell and
heard her mutter, lilies, lies, moth
ing but lies" Defense Attorney

Anna will take the witness stand.

OF CHINA PEACE.
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
Copyright, 1887. by International
News Service)

Japan will accept a peace in
China which is dictated by the
sword alone. She will insist upon
making the terms, and they will
be the terms of a conqueror. Medi-
alton, or interference otherwise,
by the Western powers, will not
be accepted.
This inflexible determination Of
the imperial government at Tokyo
was disclosed to International News
Service today by an unimpeach-
able Japanese source.
The Washington times., 1937-10-30
TERMS OF PEACE

The terms of peace in China, as
Japan views it, must be:
/. A disarmed China.
2. Removal of the Marking
government, with exile of the
governing heads, including Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-Shek.
8. Crushing of alleged Com
muniStic activities.
4. Guarantees against con.
tinuance of anti-Japanese feel
ing.
S. A deep de-militarized zone
around Shanghai and to the
south Of the Yellow River grid
ing the five northern provinces.
6. Guarantees Of dominance
by Japan of Ch!na'S commercial
and economic life.

Tokyo is convinced neither the
United States nor Great Britain,
nor any of the lesser powers, will
cooperate in imposition of an
economic blockade against her,
much less resort to war to save
China. She regards the Sino-
japanese conflict as a war for
economic survival and is de-

ecutives Of large corporations, a
number of which run into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. The
President of the United States re-
ceives $4,000 per year with an al
lowance of $25, 900 for expenses and
have never yet heard of a Chief
Executive complaining that he was
underpaid.
While it is true that salary OF
800 or 400 thousand dollars per
year is a drop in the bucket for a
concern like General Motors or
United Steel, the fact that such SAL
aries are being paid tends to create
dissatisfaction among the workers
and I am wondering if it wouldn't
be a good idea to limit by law the
salary that any corporation may

Figures just made public in

We Make Another Trade Treat,

We Make Another Trade Treaty
Slowly but surely we are giving
the American market away to the
foreign farmer and manufacturer
and in return getting a lot of dogs
and cats.
Hearings have just been conclud-
ed on the proposed reciprocal trade
treaty with Czechoslovakia and in
announcing the fact Chairman
Henry F. Grady, of the Committee
on Reciprocity Information, took
occasion to give utterance to some
political philosophy that is out to
tune with the views Of the average
man on the street. Said he: Amer
lean business is going soft. The ar
gument that loss of export markets
indicate need for tariff protection
Is not a good one. Personally, l
don't believe industry Is losing out
in world trade as much as some of
