IS THE FINAL STEP
NEAR IN EUROPE2

1t is the history Of dictatorial govern
ments that they are never satisfied until
they have brought about their own down
fall.
lust for power over human beings
can never be satisfied With each vic
tory, the lust grows stronger; until even
tnally it destroys the vehicle it has used.
Nobody knows how far off is the time
when Germany or Italy or another Eu-
ropean power will fall under the impetus
of the urge for power. Unless history
has stopped repeating itself. it seems
certain only that the downfall will come
Developments of the last "a hours mar
rowly aVerted the event. If Chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria had not
resigned as Germany demanded. the
moment of accounting might be at hand.
Had he chosen to defy the Nazi power
of Adolf Hitler, German troops might
have precipitated conflagration that
would be felt in every part of the world.
England had already warned that she
could not remain Indifferent if German
troops invaded Austria. No more could

power, would be ON the horns of a dilem-

International scene as allies.
The Austrian incident deserves first
rank in Importance only because it indi-
Gates the course Germany is taking in
its march to power. 1t is a course that,
sooner or later, must lead to ruin for
Germany.
There has never been a dictator in the
world who died with as much power as
he had at the apex of his career. Perhaps

Instead he got up at the usual
hour the following morning and
spent the day looking for work.
There was no work for 59-year- -old
Feter Lehman He kept on look

When pay day came ne pretended
to be sick and stayed at home.
He didn't know how TO explain not
bringing home his pay the follow
ing day, but Katherine didn't ask
questions.
Meanwhile Peter applied again
for citizenship papers-but these
were held up because government
routine delayed certification of his
entry into the United States.
When the second pay day came,
Peter knew his play acting must
end. He had been living a lie-to
save his wife worry, but a lie Just
the same. He felt licked. He went
into the bathroom and took six
poison tablets. And what did Peter
Lehman say to his wife Katherine

WPA officials say Peter will be

is well again-providing they are
notified of the certificaton of his

There are several morals /. Ais

should have gone through the nee

MOONEY AND THE
STATE LEGISLATURE

We cannot take in quite so much terri
tory-there have been lot Of sorry spec
tacles in California-but basically we
cannot help agreeing with the state as
semblyman who described Tom MONEYS
appearance before the state Legislature
, as zone of the sorriest spectaces III the
history of California.
1t is not a question whether Mooney
was guilty or innocent of the 1916 Pre-
paredness Day bombing in San Francis
co. Even if we thought Mooney innocent,
We could find little excuse for the legis-
lative spectacle occasioned by MONEYS
appearance.
In the first place the sole duty of
the state legislature is to make laws.
In no wav is it the duty of the legisla-
ture to enforce them; nor to attempt to
gain pardon or parole for anyone con-
victed under them If there is fault in
the law. the legislature can remedy the
law. Then it is the duty of the executive
branch to see that the remedies are put
into effect.
There is another bit of fantasy about
the attempt to obtain Legislative par
don'-which would have no other bene-
fit than additional publicity for the
Mooney cause-in the fact that it is hu-
manly impossible for the state to deter
mine in one hearing whether Mooney de
serves a pardon of any kind. 1t took
weeks to try him. No agency could say
the court and jury was wrong after
hearing that lasted less than three hours.
The spectacle of Tom Mooney and the
state legislature smackS bit teo much
of publcity-seeking to merit much De
sides criticism. There are other ways TO
determine if he is a martyr or Just
guilty prisoner.

Bruce Cation Says
Story Of Peter Liebman, Who Worked for WpA

Every once in a while a news
story makes all the jokes and hag-
Cling over work relief seem only
mean and cruel. Such a story is
that of Peter Lehman.
Peter Lehman left Hungary to
come to the United States in 1909,
when he was 30 years old. As usual,
times We're hard in Hungary and
the threat of war hung close over
all Europe. So Peter came to
America His wife stayed in Hun
gary.
Peter got a job in Cleveland He
took out his first citizenship pa
pers Then he sent for his wife,
Katherine Things went we'll for
the Liebmans Peter neglected to
get his second citizenship papers
but no one said anything about it.
and Peter didn't think ii was aW-
fully important.
Then came the depression.
Money was hard to get---even
harder than back in Hungary in
1909 Peter lost his job. Then just
as his savings were about gone he
got another job-With WPA. The
pay wasn't much but Katherine
Lehman had learned in her 81
years how TO make the pennies go
far.
Early this year an order went
through that only American citi-
zens would be kept on the WPA
rolls. So Peter Lehman, never
having obtained his second citizen
ship papers, was out of work again.
He didn't tell his wife about it.

1t Puzzles Senate
Ry RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON. - ReofgdillEdGloll
of the governments operating struc-
ture in the interest of efficiency,
proposed for decades by one Presi-
dent after another, is up again in
the Senate.
The program as originally pro-
posed has been torn up and whit
tied down into the present Byrnes
bill But the remnant Is still
threatened by a horde of senators
jealous of patronage and preroga-
tive, entrenched bureaucrats and
lobbyists who appreciate things as
they are.
Leading the opposition is Sen
ator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia,
whose presidential candidacy is as
persistent as his criticism of RooSe-
velt. Byrd bases his attack on the
allegation that the Byrnes bill
would mean much heavier con-
centration of executive power.
His views carry a certain weight
with some of the senators because
as governor of Virginia Byrd sue
cessfully advocated a program to
reorganize the state government
which had been worked out for
him by one of the three public ad-
ministration experts who since have
formulated the original Roosevelt
federal program
Virginia borders on the national
capital, SO it's easy to learn how
Byrd operated when he himself
went in for government. reorgan-
ization.
Byrd said then that the problems
of government and of the COVER
nor's office had become such that
the executive should be given au-
thority commensurate with the re-
sponsibilities of his office. His pro-
gram involved enormously increased
Capitalization of executive power,
most conSpicuously in the transfer
of numerous elective jobs to the
status of appointiVe jobs.
A state department of finance
to cover auditing, comptrollership,
disbursing and similar functions had
been recommended by Luther II.
Gulick, Byrd's chief expert, and to
end controversy over this phase
Byrd agreed that he would be the
head of the department as well as
governor.
To fill the newly created post
CT state comptroller Byrd appoint
ed his chief political henchman
E. r. Combs. Involved in the job
Was the power to stop improper use
of appropriated funds - an issue
which crops up now in Senate de-
bate.
Few contended that the Virginia
reorganization didn't mean great
improvement in government eff
cheney. But today many Virginians
who observe the senator's ferVent
efforts to restrict powers of the
presidency are .snickering as they
recall the lengths to which he went
to extend the official and political
power of Gov. Harry F. Byrd.
The Virginia reorganization pro-
gram wiped out an old and wide
spread fee system which had en-
riched county ring politicians
placing the fee jobs on salary. A
compensation commission was sci
up to determine what the salaries
should be and Byrd gave the chair
manship, a post which carried q
great big stick because its function
was to- establish salaries for the
county ring politicians, to the same
E. r. Combs. The Byrd machine
became one of the strongest politica
combines in the country.

METEOR CRATER
PROBED FOR SECRETS
lPreScnif Innrirrl

Periodically the attention of the world is
invited TO one OF Arizona's marvels that giant
pock mark Holbrook which was created
thousands OF years ago when the heavens sent
a messenger to the earth in the form of an
immense meteor.
The phenomenon was the subject of a paper
read recently in New York before the American
Institute of Mining and MetaIlurgical Engin-
GERS by Swedish geophyscist. Hans T F.
Lundberg. On the basis OF findings resulting
from explorations beneath the surface of the
pit and the of delicate instruments employ
ed by geophiSical engineers. it is his belief that
more than million tons of marketable metal
lie buried there. 80 per cent of it iron, the
other of nickel all of it worth something like
s20000000 at prevailing metal prices.
His researches have been but the latest of
many conducted at Meteor Crater TO locate the
meteorite which tore a hole in the flat plateau
a mile across Thus far five great masses of me-
teoric iron and nickel have been found. situated
along q course about half a mile wide and
mile and a half long The biggest measures
something like 600 feet in width and 100 feet
in length.
The Swedish geophisicist told the engineers
il was his belief that when the white-hot meteor
struck the earth and buried itself hundreds of
feet deep it encountered water IN sufficient
quantity to produce steam and pressure enough
to force out molten rock and metal over the
surrounding area. This same water presence,
in his opinion presents obstacle that will
make recovery OF the metal in the meteor
extremely difficult.
While the problem may prove beyond engn-
eering skill to get at the iron and nickel, the
phenomenon never will cease to attract the
attention not only of scientists but of the pub
lie at large particularly the visiting public.
For that reason the government, state ma
tional ought to take steps to set that area
aside and preserve it as one of Americas Won
ders but leave the way open for private capital

More than 90 per cent of the farm families
of Michigan own automobiles say estimates
based on a cross-section study made by the
bureau of home economics of the United States
department of agriculture Car ownership for
the country over averaged about 80 per cent
which is high considering that in large districts
of the South percentages ranged as low as go per
cent among white families Only Is per cent
of families listed as Negro share croppers were
automobile owners
Two considerations of the study are imme-
djately suggested The first is that the great
agricultural population constitutes a dependable
market for automobiles and particularly for used
cars. Farmers buy twice as many used as new
cars And second, the needs and wishes OF the
farmers should be consulted seriously in the
spreading of road money.

Charles w. Elliot was president
of Harvard University for 40 years.
He was the head of one OF the most
important universities in the world
from four years after the Civil War
until five years before the out
break of the World War. He once
declared that eating was one OF
the enduring satisfactions OF lie.
1t Is. And I have discovered a way
almost to double the pleasure you
get at the dinner table. My sug-
gestion won't cost you a penny. In
fact, it Will save you money every
day.
Here it is: eat only two meals a
day Skip lunch. This will save you
time and money. And what Is more
important, you won't have to put
any chilli sauce on your steak at
night To give it liavoI. As Shake
speare said, Hunger is the best
sauce
The late Frank A Vanderlip,
former president of the great Ma
tional City Bank of New York, told
lllt lIldi lie IltNCl dlC lliolt biibii
two meals a day He first passed
up one meal a day TO save money;
when he became wealthy he con-
tinued the practice because he
found it good for him.
Mary Pickford told me one after
noon at three o'clock that she had
not eaten anything that day, and
that she was not hungry. A teel-
ing of hunger, l understand, is
caused by the walls of the stomach
collapsing. Experiments have shown
that if a rubber balloon is put into
hungry mans stomach and then
inflated, he no longer feels hun
cry. That's why, although they
may not know it, ShipWrecked sail
ors can get satisfaction from eat
ing their shoe tops.
For years I have taught classes
in public speaking for business
men. Frequently | have had one
late afternoon class from five till a
quarter of eight, and another from
eight till half-paSt ten. That meant
| had no time for dinner( but |
discovered if l drank two glasses OF
milk slowly between classes, l did
not want any dinner. Even when |
got home at midnight, l was not
tempted to raid the ice-boX. Those
two glasses OF milk had satisfied
my hunger.
If you are past thirty. why not
try eat less? l have found that
feel better when l eat less. Maybe
you will have the same experience.
A friend of mine has a seventeen
year-old daughter who was dis
tressed because she could think OF
nothing to say at dinner parties
Her mother, wise in the ways OF
the world, said, 1T is not necessary
my dear. for you to talk continu-
ously; it is hardly necessary for
you to say anything. 1t you will
merely show an intense interest
in the other persons affairs, you
will find it sufficient. Let your
partner do most of the talking"
That is the ADVISE of a wise
mother.
