News Behind the News
Mr.. Rand and the NeU Deal An
Extraordinary Man Causes a Difficult
Situation Winner Unpredictabte

WASHINGToN-There is still some question
whether the New Deal, in time, will wear down
Mr.. James H. Rand, jr.. whether, in time, Mr..
Rand will wear down the New Deal.
It's a battle between two tough customers
which has been going on ever since Mr.. Rand
sponsored the appearance OF a certain DR.. Writ
before a House committee, and subsequently
opened lengthy running attack on admins
tration monetary policies.
If Mr.. Rand were ordinary man as neither
his best friends nor worst enemies would Sug-
gest, he would have to be considered the further
most out OF all induStrlalStS who were lett
out on a limb by the Supreme Courts valuation
OF the Wagner labor relations act
The decision seemed to nail down the Ma
tional Labor Relations Boards order that REM
ington- Rand, Inc, renstate 1000 striking en-
ployes, pay moving expenses in instances where
Rand had moved plants to other cities as a
means of baking the union and reinstate with
back pay numerous employees allegedy fired Tor
union activity.
While bordering over that one. Mr.. Rand
was indicted for alleged violation Of the New
Deal law prohibiting importation Of strik-break-
erS from one state to another. One would hate
to mention federal prison and SO distinguished
an industrial magnate Mr.. Rand in the same
breath, but the raw, naked fact is that the law
does say something about possible couple or
years incarceration. Mr.. Pearl Bergoff, notori-
Gus king Of strikebreakerS,' is a co-defendant.
Meanwhile lest you suppose that were all the
New Deal trouble Mr.. Rand was having, the gov
eminent has stopped buying his typewriters and
other office equipment pending good behavior
with respect to labor laws, even on occasions
when Remington-Rand is the lowest bidder
Mr.. Rand made an agreement with William
Green, John Frey and Arthur Wharton of the
machinists' unios, in which he agreed to take
striking employees back as soon as he could.
The strikers unions at first refused to accept
the agreement, but most have since consented.
But already the Labor Department is investiga-
ing union complaints about the way the agree
ment is being kept in at least one plant And
the Labor Board hasn't yet received Mr.. Rands
promise to obey it. The government ban on
Mr.. Rands goods is still in effect.
One of the national automobile associations
had dinner here recently at which DR.. Miller
McClintock of Harvard, the traffic expert, was
the honored guest and speaker. McClintock,
whose speech was being broadcast finished
about 10 minutes ahead Of time.
They called on Senator William H. King OF
Utah, to fill the gap Senator King rose and
soon made it clear that he in favor of traffic
as well as the familiar senatorial standbyS-
home mother and the flag. But he kept on go
ing for nearly half an hour.

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
EXIST AT DETENTION HOME

The resolution of Sen. Lewis r.
Schwellenbach in the United States SEN
ate to allow PWA to undertake construc-
ton projects for elimination of hazard
Gus conditions in the schools of the
country brings to mind the constant dan
ger existing in one of Imperial county's
publicly maintained institutions : the
juvenile detention home at Imperial.
Superior Judge Vaughn n. Thompson.
in recent summary of conditions there.
points out that the aged building does
not measure up to fireproof standards
of modern construction. The danger is
increased because a high steel fence
around the building will not permit APP
proach of fire fighting apparatus ex-
cept through the front entrance. The
result might be disastrous.
The detention home is extremely mad
equate in other respects 1t has been
common knowledge for many months
that there is no means for segregating
children sent there, that there is no way
TO discipline recalcitrant inmates be-
cause the strong room cannot be used.
1t is too dangerous to lock children there
in event of fire.
Juveniles of advanced age, or who
might escape from the detention home
Where escape is merely matter of
desire-must be sent to the county Jail,
where they by necessity associate with
hardened criminals. This procedure is
an absolute violation of the states iuve-
nile court law.
Economy is poor policy when it might
mean loss of children's lives. 1t is not
an over-statement to say that such might
one day be the case at the Imperial coun-
ty juvenile detention home. The words
of Sen. Schwellenbach, speaking before
the United States senate, are just as APP
plicable here. He said
Il don't think there is member of
this body willing to economic at the eX-
pense Of the lives and health of chill
dren of the country

Bruce Cation Says:~
You and You are Cause Of Soeietys Ills

There is another angle, too, for
us to ponder over" continued the
judge. IF you and I voted into Of
flee the fellows who later decided
that a single man on relief should
live on SIS month. We too might
be subject to arrest"
X II II
In other words, when you trace
the offenders troubles to society
you wind up by putting the finger
on yourself For if we live in the
kind of society that drives a GER
tain percentage of its misfits to
drink and vagrancy, and if We our
selves consent to that society's eX-
istence and do nothing to iron out
IFS rough places-then we our
selves are the ultimate offenders.
If you want to keep your mental
ease and complacency, never try
TO discover the ultimate responsible
ity for society's ills. For, if you do,
you may wind up just where Judge
Scheinman wound up - accusing
yourself.

TWO STEPS TOWARD
ACCIDENT PREVENTION

The California Safety Council, an or
ganization composed of intelligent citi-
zens devoted to the study of preventing
fatal accidents on the states highways,
is supporting two proposals which would
go far to reduce the number of auto
crashes in a years time.
One is for compulsory medical eXamin-
alton for all driving license applicants
over so years of age.
The other is for the earmarking OF a
definite sum of state motor vehicle funds
for use in safety engineering work on
the highways.
Any person with a normal amount of
intelligence and an average circle of ac-
quaintances knows one or two individu-
ais, at least, who should not be driving
automobiles. Defective eyesight, physi-
cal handicaps or other defects may be
the reason-but they SHOULD NOT be
driving cars. Their own safety and that
of others should keep them from behind
a steering wheel. Only by competent
medical examination will they be re-
Trained from driving.
AS for the other proposal-well, en-
cheering skill created the hazard of the
highways. Certainly it can, if given
proper encouragement, find at least
partial check against its own child. Cal
ifornia spends thousands Of dollars an
nually for highway patrolmen and other
preventive factors. Certainly it could
afford to spend some of that money for
corrective research and action.

ed this mid-Winter when William

a niche here and in Hollywood.

ed the highest salaries ever paid
up to that time and on their tours
were as popular in the outland as
in New York. No star got more mash

FaVersham went to his charity
cloister with his chin up. He re-
fused to see reporters. Il am of
a forgotten past" he said, and of
no interest to the public. There
are a half hundred Favershams in
Broadway, going down hill with
shoulders back, head high.
They live in shabby rooming
houses and try with all their might
to look prosperous, hoping against
hope for the inevitable break. Al

were not the Misunderstanding exist
