Sends Him Check fol
Work Never Done;
It's a Middle

UNIONTOWN, Pa. Aug. II
G.N.S0 IA strange story involv-
ing the assignment of a 7-year-old
boy to a WPA road project and
his subsequent dismissal when he
failed to report for work was re.
latedshere today by the family Of
Richard Malone, Smithfield.
Facts of the case, as the family
outlined it, ran something like
this: Richard, 7, was ordered to
report for work on a WPA prof
ect; failing to report or explain
his absence. he received a letter
notifying him his employment was
terminated for a reason un.
known" still later, he received
a WPA check for work he had
never done, and then as a finale,
his father, mother and brothers
were cut off relief because he was
supposed to be supporting them!
All this really happened, the
family asserted, to Richard, a Sec
ond grade student. First notice Of
the work assignment, they said,
came on July 6, 1898. His par
ents ignored this, reasonably feel
ing that a 7-year-old lad couldn't
leave school and join the WPA.
Then came the other official order
dismissing him from service.
BY this time the Malones be-
gan to feel that the matter was
getting serious, so Richards
brother, Albert, 20, visited the
WPA offices here. He explained
the situation and filled out an ap-
plication himself for the job. Last
Friday, the family said, Richard
received a check for 1854 for 13
hours work.
The check was returned to the
WPA office by the father, who a
day or two later was informed his
relief was being shut off because
Richard was working and sup
porting the family. The odd
dilemma was solved finally when
Albert was put to work on "Rich-
ards project"

LEWIS KU KLUXY,.
TYDINGS AYERS.
IN RADIO SPEECH
Claim Based on Stand
Taken on Black

Mr.. Justice Hugo Blacks eleva-
ton from the Senate to the
Supreme Court of the United
States suddenly blossomed today
into an issue in the Maryland sena-
torial campaign.
It was thrown into the campaign
hopper by Senator Millard TydingS
in a radio broadcast last night in
Cumberland, home town of Rep
reSentative Davey Lewis, his op-
ponent.
DENIES HUNG "KU KLUXY"
Within an hour the Cumberland
candidate, speaking in Baltimore,
had blasted the implication, as
he put it, that he was himself "a
little Ku Kluxy because 1 would
have voted for Justice Blacks con-
firmation."
At Lewis headquarters in Bal.
timore today it was said Tydings'
opponent for the senatorial norni-
nation probably would have more
to say on the subject either in a
speech at labor rally in Balti-
more tonight. or In a radio ad-
dress from Baltimore tomorrow
night.
TYDINGS VOTED mo"
Tydings dragged the Klan issue
into the campaign on the basis
of hSi own vote against confirma-
ton Of his colleague from Ala
bama. Although it was not known
at the time that the then Senator
Black had ben a member of the
Klan. the Maryland Senator i'm.
piled that it was Klan membership
which led Tydings to vote against
his confirmation.
1T was known generally in
governmental circles" TEdings
declared, "that Mr.. Black for
years had belonged to an organ
ization which fomented re-
igious, racial and national
prejudice mad hatreds."
Senator Tydings recalled that
Representative Lewis had said he
was perfectly satisfied with the
Black radio speech, explaining his
Klan affiliation, and, "in fact, was
satisfied without it,"
CALLED REASON FOR RACE
"That is one of the reasons he is
running against me-" the Senator
declared, referring to Lewis, add
ing that he understood" Lewis
was very much angered" because
Tydings die not vote for confirma-
tion.
At the D'Alessandro Club in
Baltimore a short time later. Rep
resentative Lewis declared the
khan issue mot the first false issue
raised in this campaign"
my opponent does not say I
am a member of the Ku Klux
Klan," Lewis said, "but he draws
an unfavorable conclusion from
another situation.
FAVOhED OONC AGNIAnAAV
''Mr. Justice Black was ap-
pointed to fill very happy va
cancy on the Supreme Court.
1 was asked how, if I had been
a member of the Senate, I
would have voted on his con-
firmation. answered sincerely,
that would have voted to con-
firm him.
But why the implication that
1 am little Ku Kluxy because
of that? The fault doesn't lie
in his boyhood mistakes-as
they were. The fault lies in hav-
ing a liberal on the Supreme
Court of the United States"

1t is q beautiful custom, this celebration of the first
day of May, a heralding of summer and light and

celebration was the dance around the maypole.
We. inherited our May Day customs from the Eng

and individuals are observing it as such.
Musfc mas prayed an Important role in our civil
ization.
Since Biblical times mans passion has been swayed
by the lure of music.
The beating of the tom tom long ago caused the
same great wars as the sound of the bugle today.
We Americans are inherently a music-loving peo-
pie. Everything from harlem hot tunes to grand opera
has its patrons.
It is to our credit that we are q music-loving peo-
pie. Show me a man who cares naught for any form Of
music and you show q man who is callous, Indifferent to
civilization and human life. We can be thankful we
have few such individuals
President Roosevelt in commenting on National Mu-
sic Week says: Music is the universal language Of
cheer and good fellowship. 1t unquestionably aids in
intoxicating the spirit of good will now so greatly needed
among all the peoples of the earth. Music, because
OF its ennobling influence. should be encouraged as a
controlling force in the lives of men. Discord vanishes
with music hence, music loving people are amongst the
happiest pe6pfe"fffthe world. With the brighter out
look, which comes from a happy spirit we can keep Il
saner view of life and its problems and see values more
nearly in their true perspective"
