Levine Boy Found Murdered

THE most logical theory to account Tor the murder OF
/ 12-year-old Peter Levine is that the kdnapers
cluded he bright enough to give clues which would
lead to their capture if they should him loose alive
In our opinion, laws kidnapping need to be re-
vsed The controlling principle ought to be distinc
ton between penalties for kidnapping when the victim is
returned unframed and penalties for kdnap-murders
Kidnapers cannot be expected to think straight as
decent people, They must be expected to get pany when
they find they have snatched child with brains enough
to note and remember Incidents objects other things
that NAV furnish clues. Every legal encouragement
should be extended to them to release the victim I'M
harmed.
The New York State law seems sensbly drawn. 1t i'm
noses the death penalty for kidnapping, BUT permits the
jury to recommend imprisonment and also provides that
there shall be no death penalty if the victim is released
and returned alive prior to the opening of the trial.
However, the G-Men known to be IN on this case;
and the Federal law kidnapping negects to take that
last sensible STEP Federal penalties for kidnapping are
not than ten years in JAIL or death II the jury so
directs We should think that any kidnaper, knowing
the horror and fury which this crime arouses IN all nor
NAL people, would take more chances than ne mao 10
on rsking his life before Federal jury This defect in
the Federal kidnapping law may have been the prime cause
of this hdeous murder Congress ought to revise the law
We think it is the G-Men's The crime was
An appalling one in ITSELF and it necessarily throws

Dislikes St0rlings

I noticed an article by Marie
GunderSon concerning the Eu-
ropean starting.
Now I believe in one being
humane but do not believe in
protecting the startling.
In my years as a natural his
tory student, I find the startling
undeserving of protection. They
are responsible for driving out
songbirds and are cruel destroy
ers of young and eggs of other
birds. I wonder how many
blue birds Miss GunderSon sees
in the same tree with the
starting. In my opinion, there
should be bounty upon these
quarrelsome knaves of the bird
kingdom, so let's not create
any sentiment to aid in the pro-
lection of birds that outrival
the bluejay and except for size
the crow.

Says 1t Can Happen

Roosevelt says he is taking
no part in local primaries. Per-
haps not directly, but his sub
ordinates are; and no doubt
with his full knowledge and
consent which is another exhl-
bition of his chicanery.
The latest instance is that
of Hopkins, who IS backing
Wearin against Gillette in Iowa
for the United States Senate.
The arresting part Of the report
is that Wearin is "an ardent
New Dealer" and that Gillette
"has been inconsistent in sup
porting the Administration"
There is no difference in
principle between the Roose-
welt Administration and the
Nazi administration in Ger
many. Any member of Con-
gress who dares exercise the
slightest independence of judg-
ment or who doesn't support
Roosevelt and the Administra-
ton 100 per cent is marked for
political slaughter.
In Germany he would be a
victim of the firing squad or
the concentration camp.

power; but if matters continue

it was refused.

IN THE agriculture appropriation bill in conference
in Congress is disputed item for protection of the

Under an act of 1924 annual appropriation OF $2-

amount probably is too small but to make things worse

His Letter "Ruined''

The other day wrote a letter
to your paper in which I pointed
out that the taxpayers money
was being used for the direct
purpose of spreading Russian
Soviet propaganda in this coun-
try.
pointed out that Government
officials were enthusiastic COM
panions of the Russian official
representative in this country,
at the premier of a WPA writer's
project play, for which they
bought tickets and applauded
loudly. And I pointed out that
this was the policy, practice and
purpose of the WPA writer's
project.
When the letter appeared in
your paper, the facts as stated
above were ignored completely.
and you made it appear that
the writer was only complaining
of the presence in this country
OF foreign propaganda.
There is no reason to complain
of foreign propaganda in this
country. 1t should be allowed.
If we are fools enough to swal-
low it we deserve to lose our
liberties.
But what was complained of
was the use Of money gouged by
legislation from the pockets of
American citizens at the per.

connivance and assistance of the
United States Treasury which ap
propriates money for the PWA.
