Hopkins Would Put
W. P. A. and Relief
Under Civil Service
Advocates Procedure to
End Charges of
Politics
By the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Harry L.
Hopkins. w. P. A. administrator, ad-
vocates putting the w. P. A. and
other relief units "lock, stock and
barrel" under civil service to end
charges of politics in relief.
Mr.. Hopkins also told a group of
1000 w. P. A. supervisory employees
yesterday he believed the Federal
Government could find useful work
for 100000 persons for the next
20 or 80 years.
There is housing to be built" he
said, Ito replace shacks unfit for
human habitation, an enormous
program of soil conservation and Of
human conservation. and, If ma
tional policy demands it. the pro-
duction of armaments to protect
this part of the world"
The administrator predicted that
w. P. A. workers eventually would
be hired not on the basis of need
but on the theory that a man able

job.
He told the administrators it was
their function to build a sense of
dignity" among w. P. A. workers,
so they would be proud of their
jobs, glad to work for the United
States Government and not
ashamed to tell their neighbors
about It,"
Urging civil service for the w. P.
A.. Mr.. Hopkins said he felt very
strongly that the American people
resent, will resent and should resent
the injection of petty politics into
unemployment relief work"
The results of last weeks elec-
tions, he said, should make clear
"once and for all that you can't in
fluence a voter on the w. P. A."
Mr.. Hopkins asserted it was eco
nomically impossible for all citizens
to save enough to assure them of
security in latter life. Ultimately.
he said, all pensions to the aged
would be given as a matter of right
without any investigation to de-
termine need.

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
MAKES MOVIES

Rodney butcher matter-of-factly COM
mented in his Washington column on
this page yesterday that the Works Prog
ress Administration, going a step for
ward from its theater projects, is con-
templating going into the motion picture
business.
1t is worth noting that the New Deal
hasn't been getting very good break
from the newsreel films lately.
Next, we expect, WPA will start a
newspaper.
Three things that should never be
subjected to government ownership are
the motion pictures the radio and the
press. Any government that controlled
these three could remain in power for
ever. The people would have no way of
knowing anything the government did
not want them to know-and it is a sure
thing the government would not want
them to know anything that wasn't in
favor of the government.
The objection to government produc-
tion of motion pictures is not that fed
eral agency would be in competition
with private enterprise. That is a small
item. The big objection is that the gov
ernment would be usng one of the most
powerful agencies in America for pro-
paganda purposes.
butcher reports that the WPA film
projects would be limited to portrayal
of interesting activities in federal of
fees. Nobody could expect that the por-
trayal, supervised hs ardent govern
mental agents would be anything but
high praise of the administration.
If the administration is to be praised
in moving pictures, press and radio. the
praise should come from private sources.
Then at least, it would be sincere II
the praise comes from the administra-
tion itself-financed by unwilling tax
payers-it seems just a little bit like
watching a man pat himself on the back
because nobody else will

FlNGERPRINTING
FOR EVERYBODY
Selma lrrigatOr)

Ever since it was discovered that each
individuals fingerprints differ from
those of every other individual and that
discovery was made use of in the detec-
ton of criminals, there has been an aver
sion on the part of laW-abidmg citizens
to having their fingerprints taken. This
aversion was broken down to a consider
able extent during the World War when
several million soldiers. sailors and civil
ians were required to put their fingers
in ink and then roll them on a white
card.
If the campaign of the national asSO-
citation of 20-30 clubs does nothing more
than free fingerprinting, from its al
most exclusive association with crime
detection. it will have served a useful
purpose We believe that the day will
come when the government will require
universal fingerprinting, not only as
method of preventing crime or appre-
hending criminals but also as means
of establishing the identity of any citi-
zen who may become the victim of an
accident in which all other means of
Identification are destroyed. In these
DAYS of automobile accidents, airplane
crashes and other forms of violent death,
it is not unusual to find instances in
which it is almost impossible to estab-
lish the identity of longsonght indiyi
duals.
The Selma 20-30 club has Joined with
other units in carrying forward this pro
gram and has asked the trustees of Sell
ma Union High School for permission to
fingerprint tire students of that institu-
ton. The request was granted on the
condition that the students would be
clearly Informed that they were under
no obligation to have their fingerprints
taken. The reservation is a proper one
and meets with the conditions under
which the club proposes to proceed.
There is no reason why the response
to this request on the part of the stu
dents should not be almost unanimous
in favor of the project. If it is then
much of the mistaken aversion to finger
printing will have been dispelled and the
students whose fingerprints are sent to
Washington can feel that they have been
among the advanced guard of those who
favor scientific Identification.

LET'S NOT STOP
AT THE BEGINNING

The Ell Centre chamber of commerce
Post-Press home Identification contest
has ended and prizes have been awarded
The city is a lot better off because of
the interest shown in this drive to beau
tify residences and yards. 1t will be a
lot more improved in few years, when
shrubs, trees and other plants have
reached greater size.
1t would be impossible to measure in
money the amount of good this campaign
has done 1t has made more attractive
city out Of Ell Centre, and people like
to live in an attractive city. More people
will come to live here, it is safe to say,
because the looks Of the community have
been improved.
There is plenty of reason for enthusi-
asm in the results shown to date but
nobody should think that we have reach
ed the end 1t is, in fact, only the begin
ing.
The person who continues to beautify
his home year after year will be richly
rewarded in personal satisfaction, and
the city will be rewarded i'm turn for the
diligence Of its inhabitants.
We have made a beginning. Let's never
reach the end

GRAB WHHE GRABBIN'S coon

(AlDufQuefque JOuIudl)
A shower of Federal cash will ascend
on New Mexico with passage of the Pres
ident's recovery program by congress.
State and municipal officials should
begin preparing to get out their buckets
to put under the pump when the prm-
ing job begins.
The gold rush of the "49'ers" will be
a tame affair compared with the rush
for the money. New Mexico might as
we'll prepare to grab all it can get while
the grabbing is good.
Alburquerque and other municipalities
that passed bond issues at the spring
elections should revamp their programs
to get as much Federal assistance as
possible on their projects and where pos
sible extend their programs to include
new projects.
A long needed municipal auditorium
was not included in the bond issue voted
upon here, but now there may be an op-
portunity to include it either as q WPA
or PWA project. 1t might be possible to
take the 100000 voted for an addition
to the City Hall and erect new munici-
pal building that would include an audi
torium. A city Jail addition would still
leave us with a City Hall inadequate
for the city in the future. If this 100000
could be taken and sufficient money
wheeled out of the government it might
be possible to build for the future with
out additional expense to the taxpayers

lcgic and absorb it as quickly as a
turkey swallowing a graSshopper.
Not only did he absorb it, but he
remembered it. He had the ability
to get his lessons in about half the
time it took the other students.
Slated for success almost from
the day he was born
On top of this, he was a prodi-
oious worker. He formed the habit
Of getting up at half-past six in the
morning. read the papers, took q
walk and got to his desk at eight.
He worked at top speed all day
performing incredible tasks. AT ten
he was in bed.
He passed brilliantly a state bar
examination and became a full
fledged lawyer at the age of twenty
two
He became a special college lee
tursr on law when he was twenty
four. and had students in his classes
older than he was At forty three
he turned down the nomination for
Mayor of New York City. He had
marched from one success to an
other until at the age Of forty-five
ne was Governor Of the State of
New York. Later he was appointed
to the Supreme Court of the United
States
In 1916. he was nominated 10
run for the Presidency against
woodrow Wilson.
But he had one lamentable short
coming. He was cold and aloof.
His aristocratic bearing did not help
him to make friends easily.
The publicity manager for his
party told him he would warm the
hearts of the others if he would
dandle their children on his knee.
Re tried such tactics. but they were
foreign to his nature, and he re-
nomced them.
The race for the Presidency swept
On.
In August he went to San Fran
cisco. The leader Of the State was
Governor Hiram Johnson. Hughes
did not realize how sensitive Gov
ernor Johnson was, and Sighted
him Hughes sailed out oil town
with the bands footing and the
flags flying.
That Slight ranked in Governor
JOhnson's heart.
The race grew closer. The eX-
citement mounted. Governor john
son threw the weight of his sup
port against the man who had hu-
inflated him.
Election night came. the ballots
were counted. Governor Johnson
had turned the state of California
against Hughes. This was the pig-
otal state and Hughes lost the elec-
ton by % electoral votes.
Governor johnson had had his
revenge for the snub.
If Hughes had known how to
make friends and get along with
people, he no doubt would have
sandwiched the presidency in be-
tween the governorship\ and the
Supreme Court bench.
