PAY ROLL BANDITS
FLEE WITH $4,000
FingerprintS on Automobile
May Give Clue to Trio Who
Robbed Norton Mine.
~ the Associated presx

~ the Associated Press.
NORTON, Va, September 16.-In-
vestigations sought today to learn from
possible finger prints on an .automo-
bile the identity of the masked bandits
who escaped with a $4,000 mine pay
roll after holding up two company
employees and deputy sheriff near
here.
Meanwhile, search for the men
turned to Tennessee after several per-
sons reported they saw near Gate City
black sedan similar to that used by
the robbers.
Several hunters who saw the car
said it bore Tennessee license plates.
The bandit machine bore no license
tags, but investigators said the oc-
cupants would have had time to put
the tags on after the robbery.
Continually Threatened.
Joe Osler, manager of the Black
wood Coal & Coke Co. said the pay
roll, amounting to between $4,000 and
$4,000, was covered by insurance.
Bud Hall and E. F. Buell., the paw
roll carriers, said two of the gunmen
threatened them continuously while
they were forced to accompany them
on Commute drive from the scene
OF the hold-up to High Knob.
The third followed in the bandits
ear.
The bandits finally answered Halls
pleading by saying they would not
harm a hair on your heads" if you
behave yourselves" Hall said.
Examined for Fingerprints.
Officers examined for fingerprints
the automobile of c. W. McNutt.
deputy sheriff, who was ACCOMPANYING
the pay roll men to the company's
Pardee mine, II miles from here, and
IN whose machine they were forced to
drive to High Knob.
The hold-up trio, armed with shot
guns. blocked the pay roll car on a
desolate mountain road and forced
their victims to hand over the money.
Two Of the robbers wore handker-
chiefs over the lower parts of their
faces, while the third was wearing
dark glasses, the deputy said.
McNutt said the bandits took the
Keys OF his car with them, delaying
the report OF the robbery.

BACKGROUND?

Can it be that the real reason
for the section of the House Ap.
preparations Committees report de-
manding more courtesy from the
police department can have any.
thing to do with an incident that
occurred recently when the sub.
committee went down to see Chief
Of Police Brown?
During the hearings, the chair.
man, Representative Ross Collins,
questioned Major Brown about
putting civilians into some Of the
jobs now held by policemen. He
said that when the committee
went to call on Major Brown, q
policeman at the door told them
that the chief was in conference
and couldn't be disturbed.
It was inSinuated that the man
seemed to think that it didn't
make any difference whether it
was a member of Congress or not
when his boss was in conference,
his boss was in conference.
Representative Collins suggested
that this policeman could very
well be replaced by . civilian.

a speech Of Senator Burton K.
Wheeler Of Montana, it drew
pungent remarks from the Sena-
tors and a wave Of laughter from
the galleries.
Senator Wheeler suddenly re-
marked that when the Supreme
Court upheld the minimum wage
law all those opposed to it went
around looking sad and sorry.
Now, the Senator, who is opposed
to the Presidents reorganization
plan, not only said this once. but
he repeated it. Immediately
several Senators jumped to their
feet. Their rapid-fire observation
went like this:
Senator Alben w. Barley:
''Mr. President, the bitterest
lamentations I have heard from
any one come from those who are
OppOsed to the Presidents plan"
Senator Willard Tydings:
'Mr. President, 1 cannot Held.
For once the Senator from
Maryland is going to be bold
enough to override the discus
sion on the Supreme Court"
Senator Kenneth Mcclellan:
''WiIl not the Senator from
Maryland yield to me in order
that I may say that I am glad
of the Supreme Courts
OpiniOns?"
Senator Barley:
''And will not the Senator also
yield to me so that I may say
/, too, am gIad?"
Senator Sherman Minton:
'Mr. President, my only ap-
prehensiOn Is. that Mr.. Justice
Roberts might backslide."
Senator Tydings:

is going to feel"

Example From Canada

Under proposed law property used in the prep

purposes.
No, the law has NOT been introduced in Congress
nor in any of our forty-eight legislatures
It has been introduced in the Legislative Assembly

Canadians. We stem, largely, from the same racial
stocks and we one in the determination to pro-
tect and preserve the democratic form of government
Canada, however, strikes at the roots of noxious
growths, stamping them out before they spread.
We allow them to grow and flourish and some day we
will have to reap them That may be wearying work.

No, they weren't actually mean

has never been true and which
should never be heard again after
1886. Industrially, and in the
matter of economics, we have the
phrase, "As steel goes, so goes
business" This has been true to
such a degree that everywhere the
output and the prices Of steel are
recognized as the business baron
eter.
AS write this, I learn that the
mills of the United States are pro-
ducing 1,170,OO0 tons Of steel a
week. This is more than they
have produced since the all-time
high mark Of 1893 900 tons man.
ufactured during May, the boom
lest of the boom months Of 1929.
Employment in steel is at record
heights, more than 100000 men
being at work as against some
425, 900 in that same 1929, the year
by which we have grown to meas.
ure the top and the bottom OF
many things.
BUSINESS BAROMETER
But steel is more than fiery fur
naces and cold figures. It is drama
and romance. It personifies the
age of the greatest material prog
ress in the history of mankind.
Steel is the story of the growth
of the United States after the
Civil War, the story Of the rail
roads, the story of the skyscrapers
the story Of Andrew Carnegie, Of
the Homestead riots, Of William z
Fosters strike two decades ago
and now Of John L. Lewis anC
his C. I. o.
Steel today Is the answer to the
croakers, those whe preached fol
various motives during the depreS

ress. These were the ones who
said that we had reached the
limits Of ingenuity and produc
tiveness. There was nothing new
to build or to do. We had started

the colleges created In each State
or Territory to take advantage Of
the provisions of the Bill enacted
by Congress and signed by Presi.
dent Lincoln on July 2, 1850.
This act set aside "a guam.
tity Of public land and, made .
certain number Of acres thereof
available for the benefit Of q
college in each State or Terri
tory, provided It agreed to give
principal attention to education
in relation to agriculture and
the mechanic arts, including
military tactics"
After having enjoyed the bene-
fits accruing from these vast
grants Of lands owned by the peo-
pie for more than half a century,
an aggressive minority has
Matched scheme in recent years
to "run out" on the agreement.
This minority seeks to weaken
the defensive strength Of the
United States by destroying one
Of the most effective agencies of
training for national defense-the
Reserve Officers Training Corps,
which is. the fruit Of President
Lincoln's plan.
IGNOBLE EXAMPLE
Only a few universities have
abandoned their obligation under
this agreement by the terms Of
which their institutions obtained
vast grants Of land from the peo-
pie. But the Sapping expedition
continues to seduce other UIniver.
sites and colleges into following
the ignoble example set by one or
two.
OF the army Of able-bodied young
men under the Flag who come Of
age every year, only q few enjoy
the special privilege Of higher edu-
cation at public expense. The
many never get beyond high
school, but the many are taxed
to pay for the higher education Of
the privileged few.
The opposition to training with
the colors for national citizenship
in the agency provided under
President Lincoln'S leadership does
not come from the many who can.
not afford to take the time for
higher education. It comes solely
from within the ranks Of the priv
legged few who are willing to take
financial aid from the many, but
are unwilling to train themselves
to share with the masses in the
defense Of the country when
danger threatens.
The annual observance Of Army
Day will bring home to all the
people both the opportunity and
the obligation offered young men
under the Government Of the Con-
stitution to train with the colorS

AMERICAN SYSTEM

Under the American system
therefore all le-bodied men be-
tween the ages fixed by Congress
are eligible and liable for service
when in the judgment Of the
Congress their services are re-
quired.
The opportunity to obtain this
training with the Colors that is
designed to make national Citi-
zenship effective in peace and
war is to be found through the
following agencies:
The United States Army and
the United States Navy.
The National Guard Of the
several States.
The Organized Reserves Of the
Army and Navy.
These reserves include the Re
serve Officers Training Corps,
which functions in certain schools,
colleges, and universities.
The Citizens Military Training
Camps.
All of these units Of the common
defense offer training with the
colorS for able-bodied young men
Of the several States who can meet
the tests required by law in order
to qualify for such training.
Until the last Is years, it has
been taken for granted by the PEG
pie that the able-bodied men
among them Of eligible age would
welcome the opportunity to avail
themselves of this training from
time to time. It was Abraham
Lincoln's faith in the truth Of this
assumption that prompted him to
lead the Congress in providing
training with the colors for all stu
dents admitted to the so-called
Land Grant Colleges. These are
