1T SEEMS too bad there are not
more debutante parties in the
spring in Washington for what
could be more delightful than to
make ones formal bow to society in a
garden? Evidently the Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury and Mrs.
Wayne Chatfield-T Taylor are of the
opinion that a garden debut is a good
idea. for yesterday their lovely, tall.
blond daughter. Adelaide, came out"
Mrs. Taylor wearing a flowing corn
color chiffon gown. with her daughter
in pale blue organza over pink, re-
ceived the guests on the piazza of their
house on Observatory Circle. Every
where the eye rested were flowers, gay
and beautiful punches of all sizes and
colors, while the pillars in the hall
way were garlanded with ivy and the
screen before which they stood was
massed with greens. The garden
stretches beyond the steps of the
porch and there the host was found
mingling with his guests. A tiny mar
quee was placed on one side of the
lawn where champagne sparkled and
on the opposite side buffet offering
all manner of delicious edibles was
set up.
Among the guests glimpsed in the
perfect setting of green grass and
colorful blooms were Mrs. Henry Nor
genthau, jr. wife of the Secretary of
the Treasury; Mrs. Henry A. Wallace.
wife of the Secretary of Agriculture,
and Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, wife Of
the Secretary of the Navy Small
tables were placed around the garden
and seated at the far end was Lady
Lindsay, while the tall form of the
British Ambassador. Sir Ronald Lind
say. was visible in the center of an
admiring group.

WILL EUROPE
LEAN TO FAR?

kEkHtN ~
For months now Europe has tottereu
back and forth on the brink OF war; al
wavs dangerously near the edge' ouI
alwavs-until movable to swing oaeN
inst in time Will she SWING pach "
safety this time? Nobody seems TO Know
Moi since the World War has Europe
heen nearer the abyss of an armed con-
flagration. There is one great dl11er-
ONCE and that difference may De the
means of averting death for millions
Refore the World War, and up to the
very dav war was declared, 1t was dl11l-
cuIf for the average man to believe thaI
war was even possible. Today you Will
find very few who do not realize all TOO
well that war is highly possible.
Since most people do not Ike war OF
the thought of it, the fact that they are
cognizent of the danger may De .le
means of averting it.
Another factor moves against war II
is the fact that England, Russia ana
France-three of the greatest military
powers-would undoubtedly align them-
selves against Germany if the Nazls at
tempted to set off the European dyna-
mite by invading CZechoslovakla. knoWi-
edge that such an alignment would exist
should do much to discourage Germany
from the invasion, which IS the one
greatest threat to peace today.
On the other hand, Germany has given
every indication, diplomatic and physl-
cal. that she would like to take the
Sloyakian government as she did that
of Austria. Her current army maneuVers
are pointed in that direction. Her IN
tensive propaganda campaign is build
ing I'D sentiment against CzechosloVakla.
Germany. undoubtedly, would like to
move in on her little neighbor. just as
unouestionably, she would do 1t II she
did not fear the consequences.
In other words, the only thing tnat
deters Germany is her uncertainty whe-
ther France, England and Russia are
merely bluffing, or would really step III
to defend the Czechs. Perhaps Germany
is doing some wishful thinking. II she
believes she can invade the neighborlng
country without precipitatlng a world
war, she certainly is.
Such an invasion would appear TO
France to be merely preliminary step
toward French soil. Therefore France
would go to the defense OF the Czechs:
England. bound by treaty to defend
France. would be next, and Russia would
not be far behind.
After that, there would undoubtedly
develop a free-for-all that would make
the World War look like a preliminary
SkirmiSh.
And the horrible part of it is that,
in the end, it would do nobody any good

If YOU DON'T VOTE.
Then DON'T COMPLAIN

More than few highly important
positions in county, state and federal
government will be filled by Californians
when they go to the polls Tuesday to
cast their ballots in the party primaries.
A lot of people will object to the nomi-
nees after the votes are counted. Then,
after the November elections, lot more
people will complain about the way their
government is being run.
They will have right to do so-if they
have voted. If they failed in their own
public duty, and stayed away from the
polls out of laziness or for some other
reason, they will have no moral right
either to complain about the actions of
someone they failed to vote on, or to
praise any individual in office
If the government suits you as it it,
vote to keep it that way. If it doesn't,
then vote to change it. But, whatever
you do, VOTE or keep quiet after

News Behind
the News
Life is Funny
Dr.. ThOrp's Career
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON-As they used to
say back in the days of Rameses
II, life is funny.
DR.. willard l.. Thorp, economist,
is qualified to appreciate the fact.
ThorpS was recruited in earliest New
Deal days to be director of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
commerce. As ar Amherst profess
sor, he had made best use of his
vote by registering as Republican.
Theodore Bilbo, since known in
Mississippi as POSTMASTER General
because he was then clipping and
pasting newspaper items for AAA
at $4,000 a year, learned of this
skeleton in the Thorp closet and
charged il his senatorial campaign
against Senator Hubert Stephens
that Stephens was the type of pol
troon who supported Republicans
for office while many good Mis-
sissippians went plumbless.
Stephens, as chairman Of the SEN
ate commerce committee, answered
this foul slur by blocking Thorps
confirmation and forcing him out.
He was aided in this by patronage
minded minor officials of Thorps
bureau, installed by Secretary Roper.
These officials lobbied desperately
against the director.
Thorp was given other important
New Deal posts. Bilbo beat Stephens
anyway, and Stephens, after a brief
lame-duck term as an RFCSlirector,
became a Washington lawyer lob
byist.
You must know all this to appre-
ciate such humor as there may be
in the fact that Thorp lately has
been reorganizing the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
The past leader of the bureaus po-
ltical gang which helped cut
Thorp's throat four years ago is
out now-after a period in which
the bureau fell apart from ineffi-
cheney and lack of leadership. More
bureau shakeups are imminent.
The real secretary of commerce
now is Assistant Secretary Richard
C. Patterson, jr., recently executive
vice president of National Broad
casting campany. Roper took long
summer vacation. He left Patterson
with the worst run department m
Washington and the job of doing
something about the bureau.
Then on to Patterson was piled
the departments assigned part i'll
the so-called monopoly investiga-
ton.
Just before NRA was busted Thorp
had been chairman of its important
advisory council. A. d. WhiteSide,
member of the NRA administra-
tive board and president Of the ia
mouse New York firm of Dun 20
Bradstreet, was pulling out to re-
turn to his business and persuaded
Thorp 20 become his firms director
of economic research as well as
editor of Dunns review. Thorp left
to accept a salary for in excess OF
ANYTHING paid by the government.

ces between flight-stewards and
hostesses:
Most airplane companies will not
hire girl who is over %.
Mr.. Avery's company will not
hire a flight-steward who is young
er than 25.
Most companies will not keep
an air-hostess after she is married.
Mr.. Averys company encourages
it's flight-steward to get married
He says it makes them settle down
and take their jobs more seriously.
An air-hostess is looked upon
as being more or less of travelling
companion.
A flight-steward is looked upon
as a we'll trained representative OF
the company whose job is to per-
form any necessary service for the
passengers.
In selecting men for his COM
pany, the first requirement that
Mr.. Avery makes is the ability to
get along with people. If a man
can't do that, Mr.. Avery does not
want him. More applicants fail
here than in any other particular.
Mr.. Avery says that his company's s
success will depend entirely upon
pleasing the public. And its men
who meet the public are the flight
stewards, so he is douhly careful
to choose men who have this ability
naturally.
He lists important qualifications
with regard to personality:
l. The applicant must be able
to manage people; to keep them
ccntented and pleased while in
the air, and on the ground.
2. The flight-steWard must have
a personality that will please and
inspire confidence.
3. 1t is desirable that he have
had experience in meeting and
dealing with the public, such as
walters, Wallets, bellboys, clerks in
stores, ticket agents, and so on.
4. He should make a good ap-
pearance and be a credit to the
company.
5. He should be well enough edu-
Gated to impress the passengers
with his learning and his grammar
CMr. Avery tells me some of the
flight-steWards are college men,
6. He must be dependable
Now as TO the physical end:
l. He should have good health
and especially not be susceptible tc
air-sickness.
2. Must be between five feet four
inches and five feet eight inches.
3. He should be between 25 and
35 years old.
4. He should weigh between 125
and $50 pounds.
The salary paid to start is $10C
a month, with an allowance Of 50
a day for expenses when away from
the base station.

UNSOUND MINDS IN
SOUND BODIES
(Tulare Advance-Register)

(Tulare Advance-Register)
The marching tread of $4,000 young
Russians IaSt week shook the cobbles of
Moscow's Red Square. Recently 100000
young Czechs exercised in unison as
massed Sokol legions paraded in
Prague's mammoth stadium. Today and
tomorrow, 100000 young Germans vie
for athletic honors under the outstretch-
ed arm of their Fuehrer.
For suddenly a sound body has be-
come of great Importance in Europe.
Men are needed, strong and hard, able
to wallow in the mud of trench and not
perish, able to feel the slash of saber
and shell, yet recover, able to know the
sorrow and disaster of war, yet fight.
But there's more to youth than sound
body = muscle and sinew. What of a
sound mind? In Vienna, short months
ago, jeering youths tossed books into a
fire, and sang as the visiting flames ate
through the knowledge of centuries. In
Moscow, young men and women daily
roar for blood in purge of their elders
and leaders.
For suddenly a sound mind has be-
come crime in Europe, a crime to be
eApldleu Ill concentration CAMP OT De-
fore firing squad Thinking has become
an error, fault to be condemned. Ques-
t:oning has become a vice. a habit to be
stifled.
A sound mind in a sound body! Thru
generations of young men and women,
America has sought that ideal. An un-
sound mind in body soon to be made
unsound by the creeping death of the
trenches. That, apparently, is the ideal
of alien war lords. May America heed
the warning!

NO CAUSE FOR THE JITTERS
{ THE Wall Street JournaD

Much of the testimony lately given be-
fore the House committee investigating
so-called un-American activities is seri-
ouSly disturbing-at least on a hasty
reading. But the first thing for conserva-
tive citizens to remember is that the
last thing for them to do is to get pam
icky about it. Panic alarm is too likely
to lead to extreme measures and the
whole history of "subversive" movements
teaches us that they thrive on forcble
suppression.
1t is not necessary to doubt their sin
cerity to surmise that some of the COM
mittee's witnesses have been too care
less in distributing the red label. Also,
it is apparent that some of our prominent
citizens have been too careless in lend
ing their names to the use of organizers
of associations titled with attractive and
innocent-seeming designations. One of
the most interesting among the witness
es, James d. Matthews described such
persons in reasonable terms when he
said:
"No one, | am sure, will assert that
these persons are Communists Yet there
are thousands in the United States who
unwittingly permit use of their names
to further the cause of Communism"
At the moment it seems not unlikely
that the committees chief service to the
country will be that it has turned the
light of inquiry into certain dark cor
ners, where light alone may we'll check
certain noxious growths. If it does not,
there will be time to consider other
measures.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-08-29
was $4.58.

All of which is simply another
way of saying that although there
was less money to go around in
the first six months of this year,
labor got bigger proportionate cut
of 1t than ever before And if that
is true, then the man who tells
labor that labor's income is down
because capital is taking too big
a slice of the profits is simply talk
ing through his hat.
Capitals slice was proportionately
largest of all in 1929, when labor's
income was at its peak; it was
smallest in the first half of 1888.
when labor's income was way down.
Meditating over these figures, it
is hard to avoid the hackneyed old
conclusion that labor and capital
have got to share the same fate.
If the total sum available for wages,
dividens and interest is up, then
both profit; if 1t is down, both lose.
And mean while, labor Is getting
in proportion to the money avail
able-a bigger share than ever be-
fore.
