In my opinion, no matter how brilliant man
is, or how important he becomes, there is never
any excuse for him to be rude, especially to
woman. To me that is one of the most appeal
ing of Mr. Reeds traits-his unfailing thought

AS every one knows, he has won great many
victories for the New Deal and would be will
ing to bet that if he had not thought the cases
were thoroughly worthy he wouldn't have touched
one of them.
Stanley Reed is the kind Of Liberal we want.
The old order is passed; yet, on the other hand,
nobody wants an out-andout radical, as far as
can see.

If the question is ever put to it.
Consider, however, the inconsistency in this
trend, If it trends, indeed toward a new NRAish
scheme. In recent weeks Administration speakers
have been denouncing monopoliSts and shedding
all their tears for the downtrodden and pinched
estate of the little business man.
Under the old NRA the antitrust laws were
virtually suspended by Administration edict, pro-
noting thereby bigger and better monopolies.

workers in Russia Having given the masses
many more of the material things of life than
they attained under the rule of the czars, the
Communists now want more. Soviet workers are
demanding better living and more of the goods
they themselves produce.
The revolutonists set out to create an idealistic
state where everyone would be able to receive
an equal share. Now everyone wants more be-
cause their appetities have been whetted Ac-
tually, then, Russia is reverting to capitalist
state of mind which Stain is powerleSs to avert.
The young people of 20 and 25 in Russia to-
day do not know about conditions of living un-
der the czars, except from hearsay. But they
have reached the age under the Soviet regime
where they want more material things for
themselves, individually. Russia is rapidly go

Many New York State motorists are angry
over the fact their 1888 automobile tags carry
an advertisement for the New York World Fair.
The police are angry because they say the ad-
vertisement takes so much space it made the
numbers too small to read. So bills are now
proposed to repeal the provisions requiring all
motorists tags to carry the plug"
The most merit, it seems, lies in the motorists
kick. The fair is being sponsored by private
organization. Why should the motorist pay taxes
to give a free boost to private enterprise?

HARGEHOLDS2
BOYS FOR JURY
Tippett Brothers
Face Court

Washington's drunk bandits"
Ellis and Ellsworth Tippett, 20
and II, respectively, were held in
$4,000 bond for Grand Jury &C
ton by Judge Hobart Newman to-
day in United States Branch OF
Police Court, on one charge each
of a filling station robbery.
Demonstrating the determina-
tion of prosecuting authorities to
join the campaign against crime
in the District, Assistant District
Attorney Louis Whitestone i'm
mediately began presenting the
charges against the Tippetts to
the grand jurors sitting in Dis
trict Court building.
DIFFERENT PLEAS
Arraignment of the brothers
brought disclosure of an apparent
family rift. Ellis, the elder pleaded
not guilty" while Ellsworth, the
younger, filed plea of guilty.
Facing Judge Newman with
seemingly confident demeanor, the
Isandy-haired Tippetts did not look
at each other as they entered
their pleas.
Millard S. Brickert, proprietor
of filling station at 1851 Ben
nings Rd. N. w., was principal
witness against the Tippett boys,
describing two successive forays
conducted against him by the
youths during the sensational
spree they went on a fortnight
ago.
TELLS OF HOLDUPS
The filling station man testified
the youths robbed him at gun
point of $29.43 on January 10 and
then returned to rob him against
of $27.17 on January IL.
Brickert said the younger OF the
brothers, Ellsworth, was so drunk
during the second attempt that he
collapsed on the floor of the filling
station office.
While the older held the gun
waveringly, Brickert said, the
younger thickly commanded the
holdup victim to "help me get
back on my feet"
Eight charges of robbery and
two of assault with intent to kill
remain against the boys on police
books, it was learned, and officials
said they would be arraigned later
on those accusations.
Acting District Attorney David
A. Pine has indicated that any
indictments returned by the Grand
Jury will be quickly presented for
trial.
