EvERYBODY's BUSINESS
J. E. Jones

Washington, D. c., October 25-
1t is everybody's business to find out
what is wrong with the American
business system. There are witch
hunters in Washington listening to
the witch hunters in towns, cities
and the country-all telling us ways
to run American business.
One cure, pushed hardest, is tc
have the Federal Government make
all the plans and policies, and have
all the industries, workers, ana the
rest of the country follow the Wash
ington charts and blueprints.
This method has been followed in
the affairs of the railroads-ard SIC
what a mess they are in. Collective
bargaining, wages, hours, flying
navigation and in other forms of
transportation, commerce, monopol-
les, rules of trade practices, the use
of the land, the distribution of re-
lief, and hundreds of other import
ant affairs have been brought under
control of the national government
Meanwhile the states and local
communities are gradually ceasing
to function with force, due to the
fact that the states led the process
sion in surrendering. There was all
kinds of money in Washington, and
it was easier to get it from the ma
tional treasury than from the tax
PAYERS in the states.
But now the states and their tax
payers have discovered that in the
processes of evading local taxes they
IRE like the proverbial fish thai
jumped out of the frying pan into
| the fire.
Out of all the controversy, strife
and quarreling that has been going
on in these recent years about al
these problems the conviction seems
to grow and spread throughout the
country that there is too much gov
eminent in business and not enough
business in government.
Through their misfortunes thu
American people are educating them
Selves, trying to find out ways tt
help themselves by helping
strengthen the American business
system, instead of joining in con
slant attack upon it.

MRS, KRUGER
FIGHTS FOR LIFE

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 22-Mrs.
Emita Krueger, socially prominent
wife of Symphony Conductor Karl
Kruger, today was given q $3.50
chance to survive two bullet
wounds inflicted by the jealous
husband Of her maid.
The Mccormick Harvester fam
lily member was reported holding
her own"
She was shot by young Charles
E. Mcdonald, who accused her OF
coming between him and his 28-
year-old wife, Frances.
PERITONITIS DANGER
DR.. Lawrence Chaffin, her per.
sonal physician, said the dan
ger was by no means over, how
ever. There was still possibility
Of pneumonia and peritonitis.
Seated at her bedside or pac-
ing the corridors outside h e r
room was her husband, the slim
conductor Of the Kansas City
Philharmonic Orchestra.
Once he interrupted his pacing
to curse Mcdonald and to defend
his wife's name. He described as
a dirty lie" McDonald's charge
that Mrs. Kruger had been re-
sponsible for his separation from
his wife, a maid in the orchestra
leaders home.
He said he would fight any move
to free Mcdonald.
ONLY TRIED TO HELP
Mrs. Kruger, a kind and sym
pathetic woman, only tried to help
a young girl who was in domestic
trouble" he said bitterly.
The story Of the conductor, who
at one time employed Mcdonald
in his home, was corroborated by
Mrs. Mcdonald. mother of a %
month-old daughter named after
Mrs. Kruger. She told Of being
tormented by her husbands "in
sanely jealous attitude toward al
my friends" and warmly praised
the wounded woman as a kind and
considerate friend and employer
Detective Lieut.. Joseph Page
after questioning the 30-year-old
husband, said he, too, was con
vtnced McDonald's grievances
against Mrs. Kruger were imagi
nary.

JUST A MIRAGE?
Oasis Votes to See

GARDEN CITY, Colo, Aug. %
U.N.SO.-ThiS tiny commu.
nity-the oasis in the Greely

engaged today in a torrid cam.
paign that will send opposing
sides to the polls next Thursday
to elect a mayor and city council,
who in turn will have to go to
the courts to determine whether
the town that elected them actu.
ally exists.
Garden City, incorporated after
repeal, became a thriving liquor
center for thirsty resident OF
Greely, population $4,000, where
prohibition remained under local
option.
Recently, however, a supreme
court ruling held the manner in
which Garden City was ,incor

not only lost his office but his
liquor license as well. For with

APPEALS COURT
ITO FIX RIGHTS
OF DEFENDANTS
Special Session May
Set PreCedentS

The United States Court OF Ap-
peals is scheduled to hold an ex-
traordinary session tomorrow to
hear arguments in a case that may
establish preceEenCS in local court
practice.
Rights Of defendants in minor
cases to be represented by counsel
and the question as to whether
District or Virginia courts have
jurisdiction in habeas corpus ac-
tionS Of prisoners in Lorton and
Occoquan are the two questions
which the higher court has con-
sidered as Of such importance to
demand a special session during
the summer recess.
JURISDICTION DENIED
Both questions are raised in the
appeal Of Julia Sanders from a
District Court order denying her
petition for a writ Of hebeaS cor.
pus. She is serving 60 rays in the
Occoquan Workhouse in default
Of 500 fine imposed in Police
Court for first offense intoxication.
Attorneys Dorsey K. Offutt and
Reynolds Robertson filed the hab-
cas- corpus petition directed against
the District Commissioners. In
denying the petition Justice Let's
pointed out the writ should have
been directed against the Superin-
tendent of the Workhouse and
since he lives in Virginia, the Dis
trict Court has no jurisdiction
over him.
BLACK DECISION CITED
It is claimed by the attorneys
that when Mrs. Sanders was ar
raigned in Police Court her trial
should not have proceeded until
she expressly waived her right to
be represented by counsel. A re-
cent decision of the United States
Supreme Court, written by Justice
Hugo Black, supports this claim,
the attorneys say.
Immediately after Justice Let's
order refusing the writ, the attor-
neyS filed their appeal in the
higher court and plans were
pushed to hold the special ses-
sion. It always has been the rule
that habeas corpus suits of priS-
oners in Lorton and Occoquan
should be filed in the Federal
courts of Virginia. In their ap-
peal the lawyers claim the District
code states the District Commis-
Sioners and Board of Public Wei
ware are responsible for custody
Of District offenders serving SEN
tences in the Virginia prisons.

ROONEY GARLAND | IN STRAND FILM
Tomorrow Last OppOrtu- nifty to See "LOve Finds
 Andy Hardy"

Today and tomorrow mark your last opportunity to see Mickey Roo- ney and Judy Garland in Love Finds Andy Hardy"! a.so Law of the Underworld with Chester Nor ris, current attractions at the War ner Bros Strand theater.
 One of the most amazing and yet ntertaining and yet entertaining pictures to ever come out of Holly wood is the movie Luiz contest pie ture, "The Amazing Doctor Clit- terhouse" crime film with many undertones of comedy, which spot lights the giant Labod Day bill at the Strand Sunday and Monday.
 Heading the impressive cast is Ed- ward G. Robinson, and incidentally this is said to be his greatest char acterization. He portrays the part of Dr. Clitterhouse. Featured with him is Claire Trevor in the greatest role of her life, that of Jo Keller the hard d-boiled queen of the underworld who is just as tough as she sounds. Humphrey Bogart, ace bad man of the screen takes the part of Rookie Valentine, a gang leader.
 Long famous for his portrayals of rutless criminals, Robinson has the great good fortune in this picture of being able to demonstrate the high order of his acting skill by enacting an engrossingly complex character-a Park ;, avenue doctor who spends his days in the practice of medicine, his nights in the prac- tice of crime.
 Just as with the central character, the picture itself has an effective ness far beyond that of the ordinary crime film, because there is added to lall the thrilling exciting action of such productions, the fascinating problem in criminal psychology pre- sented by its unusual hero, and an underlying note of comedy.
 Launched on criminal career, Dr. Clitterhouse makes the acquain- tance of "fence," played by Claire Trevor, and soon, by his superior shrewdness and cunning, establishes
