JAPANESE RAID.
ON AUTOS STIRS.
ALL OF BRITAIN
Officials Plan Sharp
Protest to Tokyo
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDONe OCGs Ii N40N'O.Ss
Anglo-Japanese diplomatic rela-
lions were regarded today as likely
to be seriously strained by the
machine cunning Of three British
embassy motor cars by Japanese
planes in China.
The incident shocked Britain,
and officials made it clear a Wig
orous protest would be lodged
with Tokyo as soon as the official
report was received.
BOYCOTT HELD LIKELY
Severance of relations between
Britain and Japan was not en-
viSaged, however, although it was
believed likely the attack would
intensity British labor demands
for a boycott against Nippon.
London evening newspapers
played up their accounts of the
attack under streamer headlines.
Disputing Japanese claims, is
sued at Shanghai, that they had
received no advance notification
the attacked automobiles were
making the trip, an Exchange Belle
graph Shanghai dispatch said the
japanese had received previous
notification of the passage Of the
three automobiles.
PLAN SEARCHING PROBE
This version was confirmed by
H. R. Knickerbocker, International
News Service war correspondent,
in dispatch from Shanghai,
which said the British authorities
informed the japanese of the pro-
posed automobile trip two days
ago, even listing the names OF the
passengers in the three cars.
It was regarded as certain the
British authorities would make a
searching inquiry into this phase
of the incident, and that it might
prove an important point in any
action taken by London.
CRISIS RECALLED
It was recalled that the incident
some weeks ago, in which Sir
Hughe Knatchbull- HugeSsen, Brit
ish Ambassador to China, was
wounded by Japanese machine
gun bullets under similar circum-
stances produced a crisis between
London and Tokyo, leading to a
stiff British note of protest and
eventually resulting in a Japanese
apology.
It was believed the new Incl
dent might lead to further acri-
monious exchanges between Lon
don and Tokyo, especially in view
of the fierce anti-Japanese press
and public campaign stirred up
here as a result of Japanese aerial
activities in China.

Death ThLUGrts Ambition
To Surp0ss DiLLinger

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. IL
QN.S0 Death under the deadly
fire of his hated enemies, the G.
men, today thwarted the boosted
ambition of AL Brady to make
John Dillinger look like a piker."
Brady, once a simple Indiana
farm lad, had taken Dillinger, the
arch-gangster, as his model and
had trained the other members
of his gang, Clarence Lee Schaffer,
and James Oalhover, wounded by
the Federal men, in the tactics OF
Dillinger. Dillinger also was once
Hoosier farm boy.
FORMIDABLE RECORD
The Brady gangsters had com.
mitted cold-blooded murder, had
robbed banks and business estab-
liShments and had escaped from
jails with daring, but never reached
the criminal renown of the Dill
linger mob.
The gangsters now stand
charged with the following muir
derS:
Sergt. Richard Rivers, of the
Indianapolis police force.
Paul zimmerman, Indiana State
policeman.
Edward Linsey. clerk in a gro
Gerry store at Piqua, Ohio.

BOYS WHO ACT LIKE MEN

This is the story of two little boys.
whose parents loved them. and wonderedl
why they fused. quarrelled and fought
each other so much!
Always, it seemed, the boys were at
each other: never agreeing, they sought to
settle things by fighting and as they were
approximately evenly matched the battles
were to the limit.
Time and again the father, or the
mother, talked to the sons about getting
along and how they should stick to each
other and take life together in a stride of
brotherly affection and mutual helpful
ness.
Then one day the boys faced tragedy
together; they were both in peril but each
tried to save the other and. at last. both
died with their arms around each other.
And the saddened parents came to
realize, for the first time, that their boys
we're only growing and that underneath
their fuSSing and fighting was burning
brotherly love, which only showed in the
midst of death itself.
What was true of these boys Is also
true of many older persons. whose hearts
are stirred with intense love for their fel-
Iowmen but who never show i because,
like the little boys. they are too busy fuss
ing and fighting over things that really do
not matter.

Blindness of the Spenders

ment cannot curb its spending with
out alternating the support of those
people whose allegiance it has been
purchasing. and there seems to be no
inclination on the part of this gov
eminent to do anything that may cost
it the support of those it has been
eultivating so assiduously.
A typical example of this situation
is found in an article called will 1t
Be Wallace?" written by the Rev.
erend Mr. Stanley High for The
Saturday EUening Post Quite inno-
Gently. he reveals the line of thinking
characteristic of the New Deal poll
cies as he builds his case for Secretary
Wallace as perhaps the most faithful
exponent of the New Deal. The article
concerns itself with spending and
with how effective the expenditures
of Mr.. Wallace might be in purchas-
ing support. but it contains nothing
about the mounting debt, or the wis
dom or ethics of the expenditures. or
what will be the consequences when
this country has to face the next de-
preston. The Reverend MIR. High does
not think in such terms: his thoughts
are typical of the New Deal politi-
clans. The question he deals with is
whether the money is being spent in
such a way as to bring adequate po-
litical support from the benefieiaries
of the governments handouts. and
because he thinks the Department of
Agriculture is so effectively organ
lied in accomplishing its ends, he
expects Mr.. Wallace to be an active
Presidential candidate in 1910.
Says Mr. High: THE agricultural
policy of the Administration, unlike
its labor policy. has taken money
directly from the Federal Treasury
and put it in the pockets of the work.
ing farmers of the nation. But let
those who make and preside over our
national agricultural policies =. seek
to balance the budget by cutting off
the farmers benefits. and we will have
action on the united farm front as dra-
matte and as effective as that which
we have had on the labor front The
threat of such action has already been
sufficient TO brighten Congress out of
its recently publieized economy reso-
lutionS."
This is the type of thinking that
typifies the New Deal and reveals the
level on which its policies are pitched.
1t shows why the New Dealers are
spenders. why the budget is not ball
anced, and why these spenders are
daily bringing this nation closer to
the day of reckoning.

as to when the next serious business
recession and depression will prob
ably arrive. Some say it will come in
1898. others pick 1889, others 1910.
Scientifically speaking, there is no
method known by which any one can
predict with any grea degree of aSsur-
ance just when it will hit us. Should
it come within the next two or three

and perhaps revolution.
1t is amazing to notice how little
thought is being given to the disas-
trous relationship which our mount

ness recession. New Dealers seem
oblivious to the fact that here is prob
ably the most dangerous aspect of the
debt burden.
There seems to be little prospect
that this debt will be sppreciably
lower than at present when the next
recession arrives. There is nothing in
the policies of the present govern

LIVING FOR A, FAMILY

Readers of The Citizen have their
budget problems as their families strive to
make as much as possible out of the in
come available for living
Recently the results of survey, made
by the WPA, have been made public,
showing just what percentage of income
the average four-person family in fifty
nine cities use for various items connected
with a maintenance living. Here are
the figures:
For food, sc per cent; for housing, 80
per cent; for, clothing and personal care,
Is per cent; for recreation, including
amusement, newspapers, organization
dues, tobacco, toys etc., per cent; medi-
cal care, 4 per cent; for transportation,
school attendance, life insurance and mis-
cellaneous needs, per cent.
1t should be noted that the average
sum needed by four-person families in the
fifty-nine cities for maintenance liv-
ing was $1,261. This makes no allowance
for saving. The survey also studied the
amount of money necessary for such a
family to exist on an emergency basis and
set the figure at 1903, but this.nis Fin
sufficient to maintain health and physical
efficiency for any considerable period of
time"
Harry l.. Hopkins points out that even
the more costly family budget in no way
provided desirable standard of living for
the American family and that according
ito survey made in 1929 one-fifth of the
nations families made less than $1,000 an
nually. The maintenance" budget was
based on the four-person family of a
manual worker, including his wife, 49,
year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter.
He wears overalls to work and his wife
does the homework.
Other details as to the family ex-
penditures of this average workers family
reveal that it lives in four or five rooms,
has gas, electricity, an ice-box and radio.
The family reads a daily newspaper, goes
TO the MOVIES once a week and enjoys a
few other lesure-time activities but does
not have an automobile. Every three years
the man buys two suits of clothes, an over
coat, felt and straw hat. He has three
work shirts, two dress shirts, a small sup
ply of underwear, pair of dress shoes
and two pair of work shoes.
The wife buys a Winter coat and a
Spring coat every three years. Her wool
dress and Winter hat must last two years
but every year she buys silk dress and
three cotton house dresses. Her three cot
ton street dresses last two years. Every
year she buys a Summer hat six pairs of
cotton stockings and two pair of silk or
rayon, pair Of pumps and a pair of OK
fords, both of which are repaired twice.
These statistics might be interesting
to the people of Key West who have their
own budget problems. Compare them with
what your family spends for various items
and see how your living would be rated
in similar investigation.
