Balancing Budget Calls for Stern Measures

eS that his bill is precisely the one
bill which is indisputably essential.
Let it stay on the docket, and save
money by wedding the surviving
Republicans out of the clerical
staffs in the government depart

Presently, before the outsider
knows quite what Us happening, the
two congressman get together and
agree to tand fast for each others
bills and to try 10 make the needed
savings elsewhere. Their circle
grows, as other congl 3SSmen with
pet projects join them; and the up
shot, as likely as not, is that cong

billion more than it appropriated
the year before, and bows in the
direction of economy by reducing
the staffs of half a dozen of the
federal bureaus which are actually

There is no particular point in
reviewing all this here, except to
remark that the way TO cut eX-
penSes is-surprisingly enough-to
cut expenses. If we are going TO bal

government will have to forego 90
ing various things which probably
ought to be done It will have to
withhold money from causes that
genuinely need money.
If the resoluteness and hardboil-
edness to do just that sort of thing
are not forthcoming, We shall not
get a balanced budget. 1t is all very
we'll to say, Yes. we must save
money-but this project is essen

PSYCHOLOGICALLY =
THE WRONG MOMENT

1HE phONU MOMkAT
There is a decidedly humorous angle
10 the strike of reclamation project
workers on the Mittry contract of the
Ola ProJect, Just across the river from
the All American canal headWorks on
the Colorado river. The Joke is on the
Committee for Industrial Organization,
backing the strike.
Unfortunately for the strikers, Mittry
has gone through one summer in this
vicinity, as contractor on the All AM
erican canal. Needless to say. the Mittrv
chiefs did not welcome the prospect of
another Summer-but they had their
contract to fill, and the contract pro-
vlded penalties for avoidable delay. The
contract provides also, however, that the
contractor CANNOT be penalized for
delay due to a strike.
Result of the strike is this the Mittry
outfit can close down during the summer
months without being penalized for it,
II the strikers do not come to terms. If
the strikers do agree to go back to work.
one suspects that it will be at Mittry
terms. If they do not-then a very un-
comfortable summer under the desert
heat, without the usual protection offer
ed by cultivated areas, is in prospect for
them.
1t would seem to the casual observer,
who knows summer conditions on the
desert, that the strike on the Gila pro-
ject was arranged for in an office a
long way from the project itself. 1t is
hard to imagine anyone conversant with
the desert scheduling a strike at the one
time of the year when the strikers have
all the worst of it.
All in all, someone was a very, very
poor judge of the proper psychological
moment to bring Mittry workers on the
Gila under the Clio. banner.

IN AGAIN, OUT AGAIN,
VA PAROLE ROUTE

Powers of parole, sometimes miSap-
piled, often make parole boards the
greatest friends of lawleSsness. 1t is
all right to give a criminal a second
chance to square himself with society,
but there should be an end made some
where.
Imperial county last week saw one of
the most fragrant examples of the par
ole evil. 1t was an example which mar
rowly missed turning into shocking
tragedy.
man who said he was C. K Morris
was arrested near Winterhaven, charged
with making criminal assault on
nine-year-old girl That one offense, if
he is proved guilty, should dispose of
him for long, long time. But will it?
Let us look at the record of this man
who said his name was c. K. Morris.
AS Clebren Morris, he was sentenced
in 1927 to the Alcatraz detention bar
racks on military charge for 10 months.
He was arrested in McAlister, Okla, in
1928 for investigation. In 1928, the same
year, he was sentenced in Hutchinson,
Kan, to from five to q years in the
state penitentiary for forceful rape.
Somehow, he got out by 1888, and was
arrested in San Antonio, Tex, for petty
theft In the same year he was arrested
on a similar charge in Fayetteville, Ark.
Also in 1888, he was arrested in Ell Paso,
under the name of James V. Evans, for
burglary. The charge was dismissed by
the district attorney.
He reappeared in Boise, Idaho, as
Verne Evans in 1884, under arrest for
stealing an automobile. He escaped, was
recaptured at Sidney, Neb., under the
name of Robert Ames, and was delivered
to the u. S. Marshal. He served term
in. Leavenworth federal prison, and was
released to the U. S. marshal at Topeka,
Kan, who also wanted him.
The next notation on his record shows
him serving a four-month sentence in
Mt. Home, Idaho, for violation of the
Dyer act in 1885, as J. V. Evans. In
1886, he was arrested in Los Angeles on
suspicion of burglary.
SO far this year, he has been arrested
in Nogaes, Sonora, Mexico, for bur-
glary; in Douglas, Ariz., for burglary;
in Bisbee, Ariz., for burglary; and in
El Centre for petty theft. 1t was follow
ing his release here, after 30-day term,
that he was arrested in Winterhaven
In addition to the arrests listed here
his record contains six other notationS
unsupported by fingerprint Identified
ton.
There should be some way to make
absolutely certain that criminal, if his
record is as long as this, could not be
paroled before expiration Of his full
term. Until some such surety is found,
one of the gravest dangers to society in
the criminal field will be the parole
boards.

stage vogue, that there is not as yet a

CLEVELAND. Ohio Jan. 27. - Whether the gentle art of piloting lonely women about the byways of a great city-at S5 head -consti- tutes an employment agency, a so- cial club or just a charitable busi- ness proposition provides one of sev- eral sticklers for J. Leslie Morgan.
 Morgan is president Of Wilmor, Inc, an agency which provides escorts for unsecured females. He said that if the bureau is an em- ployment agency, then the young college graduates he uses as escorts would be employees coming under the Social Security Act, involving accounts, taxes and what-not. Also either a $50 or S150 city license.
 Joseph E. Cassidy, City License Commissioner is at a loss to cata- logues .the@ nesg institution
 Morgan,said he had been informed his organization could be consid- cred as nothing but an employment agency. On. tbe other hand, he added. 1t might qualify as social club, with memberships and dues.
 There are other problems, too:

He would have to be given a salary of $5,O00 per year and could set up stores, arrange for the sale by pri- vate stores at Q price to be fixed by the Administrator and have sole jurisdiction over the entire matter, The bill would set up a found of $50,000 to put the system into opera ton.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 27.-Ten or l5 years from now there may be a laughless screen, if local viewers with delight are correct in their as- aumptions
 The viewers with delight, r1atur- ally, are among the comedians who supply laughs to the screens of to- day. Their delight increases as pros ducers begin to view with alarm. Alarmed producers were ever more generous than complacent ones.
 Comedians RGuE High
 Hollywood is beginning to wonder where t is going to get new come dians in quantity. And as it woil- ders, 1t cherishes the more ardent ly those it already has.
 Tire past year brought to the movie fold a number of comics, not ably Bob Burns, Martha Rave, and dancing Ray Bolger But all of these came from the stage, directly or in- directly, and that-according to the argument-is very well for the pres ent but means no answer for the future.
 For Hollywood by it's very success in competition with the stage, and notably with vaudeville has staunch- ed the fountain from which in the past flowed it's own embryo screen talent.
 And at home Hollywood has ceas- cd bothering about it's own reliable source of comedy supply-the two reeler. The double-feature practice obviated the custard pie and chase gems which served as a prep school for the few comics who did not ar rive bearing a diploma from what Helen Hayes once called tour moth CT, the stage"
 In place of those two-reelers have come shorts most of which are
