AWAITING WORD FROM
ANOTHER PIONEER

The world breathlessly awaits news of
what happened to the brave Russian fly
er, Levanevsky and his companions who
have disappeared somewhere in the mys-
terious, storm-swept Arctic.
Most of us hope and pray for his safe
ty, just as peoples of other nations hoped
and prayed for the safety of Amelia
Earhart and other brave flyers since
the beginning of aviation history.
That the plane has disappeared is
another ranking aviation tragedy. All
of us cheered the two previous attempts
to fly the Arctic to America, both of
which ended so dramatically successful.
II was to be hoped that the safety of the
route, and its complete practicability
were rapidly being established.
Few figures in history strike such
popular romantic note as the pioneers
of the air, regardless of what their ma
tionality might be. We are prone to dis
agree with those who claim that Amelia
Earhart and other flyers gave up their
lives foolishly. Surely, anyone who en-
deavors to explore the mysteries of the
airlines intelligently and to the best of
their ability, are of stature just as big
as those sturdy pioneers who pushed
across this continent and along its shores.
We see no need to place financial or ma
terial values on air explorations to make
them heroic.
While the Russian flights have ma
terially valuable object in view, funda-
mentally, they are marked by great cour-
age and high degree of careful intelll-
gent planning In carrying out such an
undertaking, it is to be hoped that some
of the most accomplished experts have
not been sacrificed

News Behind the News
Conservatives Eat Words Garner,
Former Wild Man, Makes Right
About Face
Thank you please.

WAsHINGToN.-In the year of 1882. when
the Roosevelt Garner Democratic ticket was
running rather well against the Hoover-Curtis
Republican ticket, there came forth solemn
cry from the Republicans and the forces OF Wall
Street.
Heaven help u.s." these conservatives cried.
"Only one frail life will stand between the ma
ton and that wild man Garner, who was Hearst's
candidate for the presidency and yearnS to
wreak his dire will on the bankers and otner Dig
people of New York;"
Mr. Roosevelt, at that time, was generally
attacked as weak puslanimous, wishy -Wasny
fellow who didn't know his own MIND.
The first four years went rather well with
the Roosevelt Garner team.
Garner, a small-town banker and southern
legislator delighted when my boss Went
after the securities market, the utility noldng
companies and other powerful northern comolnes
He gave much valiant help, although he frequent
" yelled and pounded the cabinet table. Roose-
welt often telephoned him at Uvalde, Tex, to
get his slant on tough problem
But things happened in 1887 There was the
court plan. Garner was acquiescent on that one
because he felt liberalized court would slam
down on the financial ogarchies On New York
But the Sitdown strikes and the rise OF the ClO
appalled, him. He instigated and supported the
efforts of senator's to smoke out Roosevelt on
the labor issue and to cut down the S1,5OOOO0'OOO
relief appropriation, which he also felt was dan-
gerous.
The wage and hour bill, at least in its original
FORM was anathema to the white-hared, fiery
vice president. In all these things he saw
violent upset to the economic system of the
SOUTH although he had long resented the con-
siderable dependence Of the south on northern
capital.
Roosevelt wouldn't listen to Jacks advice on
these matters and Garner went away to Uvalde.
The court fight became close and crucial with
Senator Joe RobinSon's death and Roosevelt
called Garner back to help him save the pieces
Garner insisted little possible unless those
three measures were abandoned Roosevelt in
sisted on them.
But it's evident now that Jack wasn't going
to stand for all that program and next thing

A POLITICAL
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE

There is every indication that the nomi-
nation of Senator Hugo L. Black as su-
preme court justice will be approved
through the usual channels. 1t is not
unusual for politics to play part in
selection of the men to fill vacancies in
the highest court of the land. This ap-
pears to be- however, the most outstand-
ing case in many years of the appointee
being selected for out and out political
views rather than for legal ability.
Senator Black is capable Senator
and politician AS a representative of
his electorate he may rank ace high. AS
a legislator he may be of the first water.
But he is far from being one of the
highest ranking jurists of the land.
MANY people are not satisfied with
Black. And whether they can analyze
their antipathy or not, chances are that
the cause is the belief that the President
should select high, proven legal talent
for the position, rather than an out-and-
out political henchman.
1t should have been easy enough to
select men who have proved deserving
in the federal judiciary, men with fine
records for acumen, wisdom and legal
knowledge, and who also would have
the liberal views sought by the New Deal.
Their selection would have been justly
TeWdrulHg dplllly, anu dI Ille saint Iliho,
keeping the federal courts as free as
possible of political stigma.
1t may be all right to call spade a
spade and club club but we object
to seeing politician called supreme
court justice unless he deserves it.
Mirrors do not lie, but plenty of people
keep right on buying bathing suits and
what is worse-wearing them.
These are easy times for newspaper
editors-they have a choice every day of
three headlines: the franc, Franco and
Franklin.
'The only handicap in life is mental"
says a golf star. Well, that's plenty in
some cases we know about.

ed around the 10-cent mark. At
that time there arose a great cry
fop farm legislation, for curtaied
production, for federal reserve fin

crops in the fields because the cost
of harvesting was greater than the
market value of the crop.
Then came the remembered boom
fof 1929 and the depression which
likewise passed. Came farm aid anS<
curtailment. And now, in the yea
of 1887, just II years after that
other bumper crop of 1926, the cot
ton farmer is in straits.
Not only is his price low, but he is
harassed by the lack of labor to
pick his crop. 'Kidnapers" are after
his workers. Loafers in southern
towns are ordered to go to work
and like it. Thousands of Mexicans
who normally crossed the Texas
Mexico border to aid are barred
now by more stringent immigration
laws.
In South Texas 1000 relief workers
were turned off the federal rolls
and told to go to the cotton fields
Two days later the sheriff of the
community reported that few of the
men who had spent months drawing
relief salaries cared to brave the
scorching Texas sun to pick cotton
at the prevailing wage. by which

precautions for the outbreak OF
petty thievery he anticipated when
