HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May l8.-The tank" on the back lot is covered over with cloth to keep out the sun light, and the cloth-hundreds of yards of it-billows and flaps loud ly in the wind.
 The tank" is an oversized swim ming pool, surrounded on three sides by a cyclorama of grey which substitutes admirably for far hori- zons in sea scenes. For waves gaso- line motors on the far side, out of camera range, can churn up a stiff running surf.
 The other day Loretta Young and David Niven, both fully clothed spent hours being "dunked" after the collision of their sailboats. Joel McCrea, wearing swimming trunks and a flannel beach robe, spent hours on a rocky, dry projection in the corner of the tank, all ready to help out in the rescue under Will liam Seiter's direction for Three Blind Mice"
 Preparations All Wet
 By lunch-time the collision busi- ness, and the scene in which Lo- retta (who really can't swim) knocks out Niven to lug him to shore had been finished. What had to be done in the afternoon was the scene in which Loretta and Niven crawl up on McCrea's rock.
 Clad in dry duplicates of their morning costumes-sailing duds the pair descended gingerly from the rock into the water where several prop-men, in trunks, worked and swam Niven dunked himself com pletely, his head emerging dripping Loretta threw back her head to sor her hair thoroughly, and they were ready Sitting on the rock, feet dang ling in the water, both splasheo water over themselves to stay drip

 This pride has been warmed by the wars in Ethiopia and Spain. At first Cesare was skeptical of both.
 When victory reports began to appear his opinion changed. He was happy to see Mussolini's enthusi- asm for the prowess of Fascist arms justified. But Cesare has no illu- sions about the inexhaustibility of Italy's material resources and he wonders how long Italian economy could resist a drawn-out major war.
 The country's tax burden is heavy, but it weighs more on the business man and property owner than on him. For his part he is called upon to pay an income tax totaling about nine and one-half percent and tax on his apartment which in his case amounts to SIS year. Taxes on gas and electricity as we'll as multiple indirect levies take another slice from his pay
 Fascism has brought Cesare ad- vantages in the way of sickness, unemployment and old age insur- ance, regulated pay and indemni- ties if he is discharged He likes them, although occasionally he is baffled by the bureaucratic com plexities they entail
 Cesare cheers Mussolini and takes his Fascist discipline casually.

THE ROOSEVELT FAMILY

IT is well that the whole matter of the activities
of the Roosevelt family be brought into the open
as has been done by the articles Of Alva T. Johns
ton in the Saturday Evening Post, in connection
with the insurance business of son James.
This newspaper will admit little sympathy with
the muckraker. In the MAN, little is accomplished
by those who are actuated solely by the motive of
damning things indiscriminately. 1t is neither a
happy nor helpful calling, that of undertaking.
But the Roosevelt family must know that its
members have been under criticism because they
have violated what We have come to believe 10 De
the proper relationships of the presidential family
to the public. AS it, there are no legal
questions involved in the case Of James and his
activities in the insurance field. Surely there is
question of ethics and Of our ideas OF the htness
of things He cannot say that he Is plain James
Roosevelt. He is the of the president OF the
United States and must comport himself such
if he is to be spared from such scrutiny and such
criticisms as are now being leveled against him.
1t is contrary to traditions that he should use
his position in any measure or degree TO make
money and it will be hard to convince the people
Of the country that this is not exactly what has
been done The amount is somewhat mmaterial
although the figures are rather shocking to most Of
us whose incomes are almost intiniteSimal in COM
parisOn.
James is not the only member of the family who
has been under the critical eye of the public Mrs
Roosevelt herself has offended sense Of dignity
and our sense of the eternal fitness of things. She
has not measured up to our standards as to what
the wife of the president should and should not do.
In all fairness it may be said, in the language OF
the day. that "she gets away with it." She makes
good impression and no one questions her ab-
ties but it is that she has lent her name to COM
mercial enterprises and it matters little whether
she bestows the returns upon the Hottentots or on
some housing project OF whatnot it is something
which is precedent breaking and which offends
public taste.
The antics of other and lesser members of the
family have not all been seemly surely. Many OF
us are old fashioned enough to look askance at
those who visit the divorce courts, particularly II
they remarry quickly. Such things detract from
our concepts of what marriage should be and can
not add to either the sanctty of those vows or to
our love for the American home. Surely it will be
agreed that we do not look upon the Roosevelt
family as typicaly American in such matters.
Mr. Johnston in his article has been frank and
explicit enough to make him vulnerable if ne has
misstated fact and he has performed worthwhile
service of bringing the whole matter to the atten-
ton of the public.-Brookings, S. D., Register

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
Hollis CHARGES

Charges that the WPA is being used for political
purposes in West Virginia being made insistent
~ by that states youthful Senator Rush D. Holt.
81 have tried to have officials Of the Works Prog
ress Administration clean up relief in West Nir-
gina" he says Instead the officials have COOP
Grated with those who are miSusng federal funds.
Senator Holt boilS his charges down to these | 6
specific points: E#.E..A
l. The needy have been deprived of relief be-
cause the money is being spent to pay the high
salaries and expenses of political employees. -
2 Wealthy men are drawing WPA funds because
of their political influence. - D.,
g. Those employed on relief have been discharg-
ed for political
A. individuals have been deprived of relief jobs
until they could get the proper political endorse
ments.
s. Political workers have been taken from their
work to participate in political conventions and
meetings.
g. Communities have been punished by being
deprived Of projects because of politics.
T. Nou-reSdentS of West Virginia have been
given high salaries on the WpA staff because of
their connections with those who would aid politi
cally.
s. individuals have been added to the WPA rolls
before the elections and discharged Immediately
after election ..
g. WPA employees who refused to donate money
for campaign purposes have been dismissed.
TO- WPA checks were delivered to employees at
the polls on election day.
H. Travelling expenses of WPA officials who
were on political missions have been paid by the
federal government
~ Marked ballots were given WPA workers
l3 Relief clients were told that a certain public
official had given them jobs, and that if 1t had not
been for the named individual, they would not get
WPA checks. -.
IA. Contracts for equipment have been awarded
the politically influential.
IS. individuals drawing WPA checks have had
their salaries increased after they had taken an
active part in political campaigns.
l6 Doctors to treat injured WPA workers were
selected as Democrats and Republicans.
Senator Holt is laxative and crossed up with
the administration in various ways. He also is
known in the words of Life magazine, a nat
ural-bon hell-raiser
Charges of such gravity as these nevertheless de-
serve more than generazed and pooh-poohing de-
malls and we would like to the WPA turn on
the light of complete publicity and let the full and
exact truth be known.
In the absence of such development the public
would be justified in wondering if the laxative
young senator hasn't got something there-Green-
Vile Piedmont.

MAN is INGENIOUS WITHOUT BEING

(By BRUCE CATION

The hope that closer intercommuncation
among countries and peoples would bring
better understanding and more peaceable
relations among them doesn't seem to be
working out very We'll.
We invent the airplane, bringing cities
closer together in point Of time. and what
does it mean? Better bombing.
We invent the cable and telegraph and
telephone lines so that any country may
know instantaneOusly what is going on in
Iii half the world we get iron-clad control
Of communications by governments, and
the news poisoned at the source.

voice can instantaneously enter any home

do we get? We get poisonous propaganda

Esperanto was devised IN the nope that
by. creating a language universally under
stood, the barriers of different tongues
would be banished, and universal under
standing would be promoted.
But what happens? Both Mussolini and
Stain, Miss Zamenhof says, have seized on
Esperanto as a medium for flooding neigh
boring countries with military and social
propaganda.
Maybe ''trickling'' would be better
word that flooding" in view of the small
number of people who know Esperanto.
But it is small straw added to the long

enough.
The worlds desperate need today is not
more tools, but more knowledge of how to
use wisely the tools it has.

CENATOR William H. King, OF

broken record of always having
been against everything-whether
in the Hoover or Roosevelt ad-

rather curious spot -.
He is a member of the monopoly

posed to monopoly, but he is also
opposed to practically any pro-
posal to curb monopoly. First one
impulse gets the better of him and
then the other.
Thus, recently, Senator KING

change made in laws governing
business, the better it would be.
