ace passer of the Washington Red
skins, National pro football cham
pions, has been greatly impressed by
the hard work and fine team spirit

the rise Of pro football. During the
past year." he said, "the Redskins
drew crowds of 10000 several times,
and the smallest being 1000.

colege and pro game, he said, Is that
tne pro boys are more experienced
and bit larger.
Iney are no rougher than college
players except that a good big boy can
MT you just a little harder than a

DriUe Up Pixies Peak

TNHE DRIVE up Pixies Peak is another beautiful
l. sight. You start off in rather an easy grade
and keep going and going, up one mountain and
down into another valley. Slowly the trees
and everything green disappear and then you
truly start climbing up a steep road that
twists and turns wondering every minute If your
motor will make it and what is going to happen
to YOU if another car comes around the corner
too quickly on it's way down.

Peak she had to take her smelling salts and use

HINES UNMOVED
'AS Dewey MAPS
FRESH BARRAGE
Defendant Good Actor
or Very Confident
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, Aug. ~ U.N.S).
Jimmy" Hines is either q great
actor-or he really isn't worrying.
The 61-year-old Tammany dis.
trict leader, branded by District
Attorney Thomas E. Dewey as the
paid political tool and "fixer" for
the Dutch" Schultz mob in their
500, ,0O0, ,O00-a-year policy racket, is
maintaining his characteristic
geniality and good humor in an
amazing manner after having
been on the receiving end Of a
lot of serious charges for the past
fortnight.
Lies, all lies," is his attitude
toward the array Of allegations Of
corruption hurled at him from
the witness stand by Dewey's wit
neSSeS.
If convicted on all counts in the
conspiracy indictment he could be
handed a sentence of 27 years in
prison which would mean he
would be 88 when he got out. Such
q prospect would cause many a
man to blanchard certainly to
worry.
But if Hines Is worrying, he
doesn't show it. He is the persona
fication of confidence and self as
Surance. Looking at him in court,
you would never know he is the
defendant by merely judging from
his demeanor. He acts more like a

trapped last February with his

phia apartment. Davis pleaded
guilty after six months of gentle
handling by the clever Dewey and
has decided to turn States eVi-
dence.
If Weinberg's testimony was
damaging to Hines. Davis is ex-

Davis was closer to Schultz than

THERE is one little incident want to relate
hearted man would help the needy ones in his
own quiet way, instead Of having a bread line
like we have to have nowadays.
The Brown Palace Hotel in Denver has always
had two rows Of chairs, back to back about so of
them At 10 each morning the seats would begin
to fill with the old prospectors and miners. They
would all be full but there was always vacant
chair left at one end for my father. He would
come down promptly into the lobby at 10 o'clock,
take his seat, and say Hello" to the man in the
chair next to him. A few whispered words would
occur the usual tale Of q few dollars required as
grub-stake to locate the best mine in the world.
Out would come fathers check-book, a few lines
written check torn out and handed to the occu-
pant of the chair. A parting handshake and this
man would get up and the next one would move
UP and occupy the same chair.
This line of brave, determined miners who
needed few dollars and cheering hand, would
keep this up quietly, each one moving up beside
father, for two or three hours.
Every morning this would go on for as long as
father stayed in Denver. Then these prospectors,
with new hope in their hearts, would get ready
for the spring start, to try and strike 1t rich IN
some poor little claim up in the mountain.
Father never spoke Of this to anyone. No one
ever knew how much he gave these men, but
know the Joy and pleasure it gave him. whatever
the amount was.
Those were the great old days Of the West and.
when you come right down to it, the people
haven't changed much today. So far as our
wonderful country goes, the beautiful sights, the
awe-inspiring scenery. are still waiting for anyone
who has the love and desire to know his own
country better.

WALLACE URGES
WHEAT EXPORT
UNDER SUBSIDY
Orders Purchases By
Federal Setup

G.N.SO Efforts to solve the
American wheat surplus problem
were stimulated on two fronts to-
day by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace.
His first move was to order the
Federal Surplus Commodities Cor
poration to purchase surplus
wheat from grain elevators on
offers made over the weekend.
The wheat is to be exported or
distributed among relief recipients.
URGES EXPORT SUBSIDY
Speaking before the Interna-
tional Conference of Agricultural
Economists at st. Anne de Belle
vue, Quebec, he revealed that he
Is strongly for an export subsidy
program, "for temporary purposes
in such q situation which now con-
fronts us" and warned world
commodity producers that the
United States will take fully as
aggressive action as other nations
in the competitive export field"
The order to the FSCC is de-
signed to stimulate weakening
wheat exchange. Approximately
IS 5,000,000 bushels may be puA
chased "at the absolute most"
according to AAA officials.
PURCHASES FOR RELIEF
The export" plan means that
the Federal Government will sell
abroad at whatever prices it
chooses, since it does not have to
show a profit or balance on its
purchases.
However, AAA officials indi.
Gated that the wheat purchased
through the FSCC will be dis
tributed to relief and the balance
STORED until such time when the
foreign market improves and it
can be disposed Of"

"bonus" was frankly inflationary.

World of Finance By Lewis Haney

THE brief admits that, despite the advice OF his
touted presidents committee of economic Sc
curity" the social security law actually passed is
supposed to be (D fully financed" from the out
set and (2) assessed entirely against the groups
to be benefited
This proves that the reserve" is not to be con-
sidersd in fact as q mere bookkeeping liability.
Tax money is collected Money Is taken from
some for the benefit of others.
Anyhow what sense would reserve" liability
make if it were not specifically set against a
particular asset? That is what is done in the
corporation accounting, to which this New Deal
special pleader refers. The depreciation reserve
in the corporation balance sheet is deducted from
the depreciating asset to which it refers.
But the social security taxes are said to be col
lected to bolster up the general credit Of the
United States Treasury. The taxpayer gets no
proportionate benefit or dividends.
SEC Would Tell Different Story
IN THIS connection, the claim is made that the
general taxpayer gets the benefit Of interest
on the money the Government takes from him.
We are told that it is much like board Of di-
rectors who have a choice between getting large
sum now. or next year. BY choosing to take it
now, that would be "a benefit to the stockholders
regardless of the particular use to be made Of the
particular money"
But if the money were wasted or unwiSely in
vested, there would be no benefit. It is entirely
false to say that it makes no difference what the
directors do with the money. CThe SEC would
tell story very different from this officiaps0
