HUMAN RECOVERY

One of the major qualities which makes Franklin
D Roosevelt of the most popular Presidents the
nation has ever had and certainly the most popular
one of more recent years is his ability to be regu
lar fellow whether in the presence Of crowned heads
of foreign countries or while mnghng with a group
of dirt farmers in some midwest prairie town 1t
isn't sham or show with Mr. Roosevelt. 1t comes
from his heart and instantly his audience, large or
small senses it. he is one of them and they

mestic drama with political back
ground was unfolded in the divorce
court here.
The husband complained that his
wife had developed communism in
rabid form, thus causing him to
lose his managerial job in local
public concern.
The wife countercharged that the
husband had always been radical
himself; that he had until now SYM
pathized with her political views, but
that he was now meanly objecting
just because he knew which side
his bread was buttered."
Evidence having been brought of
the wifes active sympathies with
communism, the court granted the
husband decree on the ground
that ut was desirable to dissolve q
marriage when an anti-nazi wife
ruined her husbands career; even
though he had been a radical be-
fore Hitler took power"

Soldiers Of Fortune
Cincinnati Enquirer
to port.


The modern equivalent of the soldier of fortune
seems to be trained aviator who hires out TO tn
or that foreign government or rebeous group in
order to make a living There are scores of American
filters engaged in the Spanish civil war both sides
These of course are but fraction of the total from
various countries who have seized upon SPANS short
age of aviation personnel and have made capital OF
it, Some of them also service in various Chinese
civil wars in commercial plane service in the orient
and South America Mexico and then hires
American filters.
The attempt to surround the modern soldier oil
fortune with an aura of romance has not been es-
peciallv successful If he were engaged solely N
fighting an enemy on equal terms the effort might
be impressive But the fact is that most of the work
done by these flers-for $500 months the de-
struction Of beautiful cities ard the bombing OF de-
fenseless noncombatants.
This is well demonstrated in the long siege OF
Madrid Rebel filters from various countries nave
poured countless tons of bombs into the Spanish
capital They have achieved virtually nothing in
terms of any military objective. But they have Killed
unnumerable women and children with bombs shipped
from foreign states having strategic interest IN the
outcome of the Spanish struggle
Naturally the soldier of fortune in these circum-
stances is better off with the least possible publicity
His just about the drtest work that is being done
in the world today.
1t is to be expected therefore that American
filters who have hired out to side or the other
in Spain viii not find much sympathy in Washington
some of them are complaining that they should not
be subject to a fine and imprisonment as now pro-
vided by law But the probability is that if American
public opinion were consulted it would acquiesce in
much more vigorous punishment of soldiers OF for

 ACTED BRUTALLY

Stonelain, Mass, March 23-(Up) Masked bandits who beat 75s year old grandfather into serni- consciousness and dragged 2i year old girl up a flight of stairs by her hair had only $50 to divide four ways for their trouble today. Two of the pair, guns in hands. invaded the home of Charles Poole, a florist helper, last night. Outside waited two confederates, one on guard and the otheF at the wheel of getaway car.
 When Isaac Dadley, Poole's father-in attempted to grapple with them, one of the invaders slugged him with his revolver butt. The second bandit grabbed Miss Helen Perry, who was caring for the four Poole children during their parents absence, by the hair and dragged her upstairs. He pushed her into one bedroom, entered ai1- other himself and ransacked a bu. reau. Finding only $50. he shouted to his confederate: "Joe, there's sup. posed to be . big haul here tonight but I've only found 50 bucks" When the second bandit ran upstairs, Bar bara Poole, l2, crawled through . cellar window and ran to 8 neigh bor's house to call police. The ban dits fled, however, before police ar- rived.

 With two legal firms spending weeks (and the taxjayers good money) drawing up the police con- mission and town court bills. which could have been copied (and prob- ably were) from ones already in force and then to be torn apart by the republican. town committee and again and again revamped end re. vised.

 We have heard a great hue and cry about Roosevelt trying to run the supreme court. If thes two bills of Charlie and Warren don't out Roosevelt Roosevelt, I'll wager you will be ordered out of town, if you dare to oppose them.
 If you think as a voter that you have a voice in town affairs, you had better be on hand Tuesday evening and listen to Charlie ex- plain the many debates the select- men have had over the proposed bills.
