AN EYEWITNESS


Seven years ago a young Eng
lishman landed at Vera Cruz,
Mexico, and in the following
weeks fell in love with the beau
tiful country. Then, he met his
fate, when he fell in love with
one of its daughters. They were
married, and are living at this
very moment, their happily
every afterwards" in England.
The Englishman is r. H. K.
Marett, who is the author of a
book entitled "An Eyewitness
Eof Mexico. BY way of auto
biography he relates how he and
the lady whom he later married
were held up one night on a
country highway, Bright head
lights of automobiles interferred,
and Marett promptly obeyed or
ders to turn his car across the
road and block the traffic. This
stopped twenty other cars whose
occupants were robbed. The
bandits forget to rob Marett.
Another thrilling human inter-
est account concerns an Easter
day gathering at the hacienda of
Mrs. Marett'S parents, who are
an old Spanish family. 1t was a
glorious family reunion but there
was the incident of the presence
of an armed guard at the en-
trance. The guests thought it
might be a social gesture, but
after they returned home they
were to learn that the hacienda
was being appropriated by the
Government that day, but that
the owners of the property care
fully concealed that fact from
their guests.
The author of can Eye-Wit-
ness" worked most of the seven
years that he was in Mexico for
English owners of mining, rail-
road, and oil properties, until
after the oil confiscations of
March, 1898, demoralized Mexi-
can industry. which sank to such
low levels that Marett decided
that he could no longer make a
living" there. Returning to Eng
land he was surprised to- find
how well known he was. owing
to his correspondence printed in
the London Times. He was bonn
barded with the question: what
really is happening in Mexico?"
Already he was the author of
book on Mexican antiquities,
and he decided to supplement it

current questions of Mexican
history. The book has just come

serves as IAN witness" that
the great difficulty rests in the
fact that Mexico still lives in
the atmosphere of the sixteenth
century. her seizure of the oil
properties is the. first triumphant
act of piracy of her Elizabethan
era. A few paragraphs in the
book follow:
''The first reactions of Wash
ington were curiously indeterm-

few critics of American policies
who held that a tactful word of
warning from the Ambassador in
the days before the expropria-
ton was decreed would have
averted the catastrophe"

denying that the appropriation
had had a political character. /.
The Mexican Minister of Marine
rushed to the Presidential Palace
with the terrific news that a
British fleet was bearing down
upon Vera Cruz. Fear not, said
the alarmed minister, the entire
British Navy cannot turn us from
our course. When the fleet ar
rives in Mexican waters, we shall
appropriate it too"

D. T.. Juvenile Court
Given High Praise in
Social Service Review
Article Points Out
Wide Scope for Solving
Problems Of Children

High praise for the Juvenile Court
OF the District of Columbia as one
with IAN able judge, compre-
hensive jurisdiction, and a highly
skilled social service staff" is con-
tanned in commentary appearing
In the current issue of the Social
Service Review, quarterly published
by the University of Chicago Press.
Headlined as "A Good Juvenile
Court Reports to Congress-" the ar
ticle describes Judge Fay Bentley's
small but important report" as sig
nif1cant because of the thorough
training as social workers of the en-
tire court staff, and because of the
local Juvenile Courts difference in
structure and services from the Ju-
venile Court in most Jurisdictions of
the United States"
Most Juvenile Courts, the article
explains, are limited to the exercise
of jurisdiction over delinquent and
dependent children, and maintain
q policy that distinguishes the civil
or equitable procedure from the
criminal. Under this set-up related
family problems are heard by diff
ferent sets of court officials.
Embrace All Problems.
"1n the District of Columbia" the
article continues, the same court,
the same highly skilled Judge, the
same group of professional proba-
ton officers can attack all the prob
lens which seem to be involved In
the child's difficulty.
Judge Bentley has not been salts
fed even with this situation, the
article adds, land has recently Sc
cured better Juvenile Court law"
Judge Bentley's Report of the
Juvenile Court, District of Columbia,
1931-38' describes the situation un-
der the earlier legislation, during
which period the adult cases were in
court for non-support or for violation
of the compulsory education law or
of the child labor law, the article
continues.
Points to Time Saving.
Further. the article states, "a large
number of complaints in adult cases
were dismissed when the case came
before the court. The judge points
out that with staff more ade-
quate in numbers, the time of the
court would be saved and in more
than third of the cases in some
years criminal record which
proved to be unjustified could be
avoided"
The article also finds the court an
increasingly successful collecting
agency. The amount collected was
$4,000 in 1882 and S193,5OO in 1893
Largely collections in non-support
cases of one kind or another.
These collections" the article
concluded, mot only indicate a re-
duction in cost in the maintenance
of the children, but they also show
that the cooperation of the parents
has been secured, that is, we have an
educational undertaking in parental,
and especially, paternal perform
ance."

the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, told reporters an additional
81 600, 100000 for the already-ex-
panded Army and Navy could be
well spent.
"While no other business except
neutrality legislation should be
taken up until that is disposed of
Senator Connally continued, IT
think it our duty to provide the
Navy with any additional arma-
ments and equipment it may reed
at this special session.
Additional provisions should be
made for the Army-in aircraft,
anti-aircraft defenses and enlisted
strength"
Senator Wagner agreed unat there
should be "a more thorough study
of the adequacy of our defenses,"
saying 1t was essential that "our
country be in a position to defend
itself under all circumstances.
From Senator Ellender, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana, a member of the
Evening star., 1939-09-28

Naval Affairs Committee, came a
statement that the Navy "un-
doubtedly is re-examinipg its de-
tense equipment"
If the Navy should seek additional
funds, Senator Ellender said, II
would be willing to vote for them
Immediately" He added, however,
that the Navy probably has its
hands full with the program al
ready under way" and said there
would be ample time at the next
session to vote any additional ap-
preparation.
Before I vote one more penny"
remarked Senator Nye, Republican,
of North Dakota, II want to know
where they are getting with the
money already appropriated. I un-
derstand some American industries,
notably the aircraft industry, are
so busy supplying foreign orders
that they haven't time to fill Amer
lean orders"

Radio-Beam
 Equipment For Nome Airport

Chief Aeronautics Inspector for Alaska l. K. McWillians, accom- panied by G. S. Mclean arrived Nome in a government plane Sat urday morning, for the purpose of making a preliminary survey toward the establishing of radio beam equipment for the Nome airport.
 MT. Mclean, civil engineer for the Civil Aeronautics Authority handles the setting up of radio beam equipment. Inspector Me Williams in an interview ex- plained that the Federal govern ment expects in the near future to set up such system of flight control at Nome.
 The most modern equipment will be utilized, he said. The in- staMation of such equipment on the Nome airport, will be one more step forward in the devel- opment of aviation in Alaska.
 Similar equipment will be in stalled at Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau, and other key cities in the territory, he declared. Date

Army Buys .l5O "World's Best Bomber"

WASHINGTON, May 20 (P1 - The army placed a fifteen mil lion dollar order for a new model attack bomber, described as the worlds best. They will be built by the Douglass Aircraft Com pany at Santa Monica, California. More than a hundred fifty of the planes will be constructed.
 Major General Henry H. Ar hold Air Corps chief said the plane had a better performance than any comparative airplane in production or service anywhere in the world today. The plane will be an all-metal monoplane with speed in excess of $50 miles per hour.
The Nome nugget., 1939-05-22

when the equipment will be in- stalled is as yet unknown.
 Such equipment at Nome will make 1t possible for airplanes fly ing into Nome to ride the radio beam in foul weather when wis ibility and weather conditions are adverse. In the States the dev- elopment of radio-beam flying has been rapid, and in vogue now for some time past, making 1t possible for huge airliners to fly across the continent stopping at cities and airports on regular schedule with the greatest de- gree of safety possible.
 With the installation of such type of flying in Alaska, airfield management and development will assume a new role. The terri torial AeronauticS Commission now maintains special weather service by radio for planes in flight, and with the inauguration of beam flying the ultimate in aviation safety will be here. The federal men expect to leave as soon as weather permits, for Fair banks.

Dredged Hauled to California Greek Distance 50 Miles

The work of hauling the Slack and Mahan dredge from the east end of Nome, over the snow to it's new lOcatOn on California Creek, distance of 50 miles, was com pleted few days ago and the "cats" and crews returned to Nome Saturday.
 Six "cats" were employed in the hauling job, over the tundra, up and down ravines and even up and down divides. One of the longest hauls without stopping was about 20 miles. In many places the staked trail was found to have as much as from four to six feet of new snow, and this was one of the biggest problems found in the moving, due to the extreme weather which contln- ued for months and days this spring.
 The dredge itself weighed ap- proximately 50 tons, after much of the machinery had been dis mantled and hauled separately, previous to moving the dredge Everything is now ready at Cal iforna Creek, the dredge is ready for recalking and the task of re assembling the machinery, buck etline and other equipment will proceed immediately. Some new machinery is expected to arrive on l of the 1st boats and no time will be lost in transporting it to California Creek to be installed, and the dredge placed in opera ton.
 The dredge is equipped with 1A cubic foot close connected buckets and is estimated to be able to handle about 300 yards per day. The pay dirt is in shall low diggings and the small dredge will have no difficulty in its digging operations. Samples of gold pannings on a four foot face show a well defined pay streak with good averages, the gold being dark and flakey with large pieces of nuggety gold in cluded.
 California creek is at the head of Topkok River, about four mil es inland from the ocean and about seven miles west of Bluff, the famous gold camp of Joe Sullivan and others.
 MT. Mahan and crew will pro- ceed shortly to the scene of the new camp to carry on the work Of completing the installation Of the machinery. MT. Slack will re- main in Nome to attend to the spring rush of business in his machine shop and care for the wants of this and other commun- ities. MT. Slack states that thru the combined operation of the crew and drivers of the "cats" it was possible to successfully complete this unusual transport ation problem, which was accom- plished under the most unfavor- able winter conditions existing here for many years.
