TSADORE DOCKWEILER, IA
i ther of Representative John
Dockweiler, of California, is in
town for a few weeks for the
sole purpose of visiting with
his son and quietly enjoying
himself, and meanwhile is en-.
dearing himself to everyone he
meets, not only by his charm
of manner, but by his interest
ing talk and observations. Mr..
Dockweiler practically grew up
with the State of California,
and if once you can get him
started on Spanish background
and tradition of that colorful
section of the country, you
are in for a rare treat. Mr..
Dockweiler's son Henry, was,
as many here know, another
delightful personality and was
attached to the American EN-.
bassy in Spain during the time
the late Alexander Moore was
our Ambassador there.

JUsTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.

Chicago has plumbed new depths in
the official approval of crime. She has
produced a coroner's jury which has
declared that the killing of 10 march
ers by the police on Memorial Day
was ''justifable homicide
It has been proved that the march
ers were not armed. It has been
proved that no policeman was seri-
ously injured in the affair. 1t has
been proved that women, one of them
a well known social worker, were
dubbed until unconscious or dazed,
and thrust into the patrol wagon with
blood streaming from their heads. II
is known, even to the kind of folk
who serve on coroner's julies in Chi
cago, that the senate civil liberties
committee has in its possession a
news film which shows the police tc
be wanton, savage aggressors, firing
into the crowd a hundred yards away
and clubbing to death a man who was
caught between police lines.
"Justifable homieideN The jurors
who joined in that verdict should ioir
with the police Of the Memorial Day
massacre in a petition for the release
Of Al Capone as much injured, hon
orable and kindly gentleman.

Franco, needs Is divisions of fresh

That is the Nazi and Fascist idea

1t is what might be expected from

Employers Adopt
Labor Program

New Orleans (ILNS)-Th manu-
facturers' committee of the New Or
leans Association of Commerce at a
special meeting adopted four reso-
lutions expressing its policy in cur
rent labor controversies.
Opposition to the Black -Connery
labor standards bill was expressed in
the first.
Endorsement of the Vandenberg bill
to amend the national labor relations
act was embodied in the second.
The third advocated state legis-
lation to incorporate labor unions and
to limit picketing to employees of
plants picketed.
The fourth resolution expressed op-
position to the committee for indus
trial organization or any other or
ganization whose leaders appear to
have a "communistic background.
Sigmund Odenheimer, operator of
the Lane Cotton Mills, who has been
charged formally with discouraging
union organization in his mill, intro
duced the resolution opposing the

LEHMAN DRAWS
Fire of Members of Con-
greSS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Gov-
ernor Lehman, of New York, has come
in for singing criticisms at the hands
of many members of congress for his
action in calling upon Senator Wag
ner, of that state, to vote against
the supreme court reorganization
proposal. Senator Wagner has re-
piled to the letter with the statement
that he is inclined to examine all
proposals on their merits.
Lehman's utterance came at cru
cial moment in the efforts of con-
gress to effect reorganization as a
result of the death of the late major
ity leader, Joseph L. Robinson, of
Arkansas. Resentment was manifest
ed especially that a governor of a
state should thrust himself in to a fed
eral matter pending before congress.
Assertions were made that the gov
ernor was attempting to take advan-
tage of his official position in making
his statement, since such statement
from his as a private citizen would
have passed practically unnoticed.
There is a widespread belief that
the governor was attempting to vent
petty resentment toward the presi-
dent and his program because of in
ternal and local political differences
| in the state of New York and in New
York city.

Guglielmo Marconi is dead at the
age of 81; the recognized father of
radio" and the man who turned Wire
less telegraphy from a hope to an
accomplished fact. He was an Italian
citizen, and an Italian marquis. By
blood, he was Italian on his fathers
side; Seotch-Irish on his mothers,
with the Irish blue eyes seldom seen
in pure bred Italians. Just in passing,
both the Scotch and Irish from which
he sprang were whiskey makers.
By the age of 19, he was thinking
about wireless. BY 20, he had made it
work over distance of about two
miles. BY 21, he applied for a pat
ent, and got it; thus getting ahead
of several people who were working
in the same direction. By 26, he sent
the three dots of the letter IS" of
Morse telegraphy across the ocean
from Cornwall to Newfoundland.
The rest is history which involves
many men as we'll as Marconi. The
Titanic carried wireless, and signalled
for help while sinking, and the re
sponse to those signals made wireless
chief life saver of the sea.
