NYA Assistance For
65O,OOO Students
New Record Established By Federal Agency During
Current Year-Types of Work Explained

Administration Since some students
will be employed for only one SEM
ester it is estimated that total OF
$50 900 different students will be
aided to continue their education
through NYA jobs this year.
Mr. Williams estimates were
based on anticipated average month
" employment of 100000 elementary
and high school students and 10000
college and graduate students. Dur
ing the school year 1883 monthly
employment averaged 255,000 ele-
mentary and high school students
and 10000 college students
Individual educational institutions
will plan the work and select
students to receive NYA jobs. The
basis for assignment is needed and
scholastic ability and the extent to
which institutions have made these
standards effective can be seen from
the fact that during the past school
year NYA students came fran fam
lilies having average annual incomes
of $667, and 80 per cent ranked In
the upper one-fourth of their classes
Types of Work
Work performed by NYA students
in schools and colleges includes re-
search and surveys, statistics, COM
munity service, ground and building
maintenance, departmental service
library service, clerical work anc
construction. Insofar as possible
students are assigned jobs related
to their chosen fields of study, future
plans, aptitudes and interests.
Employment on the student aic
programs for the 1939-40 academic
year will bring to well over 100000
the estimated total number of needy
young men and women given thu
opportunity to continue their educa'
ton as result of the activities O.

MEMBER
SYNDICALISM LAW HURTS
NO HONEST CITIZEN

Efforts by pink-tea radicals in the Cal
ifornia legislature to repeal the state 5
criminal syndicalism law would, If sue
cessful. throw the state wide open for
any and all manner of anarchist, COM
munist and Syndicalist activities. The Ell
forts to bring about repeal should be
contested bitterly by every resident OF
the state who believes that the ballot,
not revolution, is the proper way to
bring about governmental changes.
The criminal syndicalism law in no
way curtails the civil liberties OF any
honest citizen.
It does one thing alone. It provides
Imprisonment for those convicted of
plotting to overthrow the American form
of government by force and violence.
Why such a law should be repealed re-
mains a mystery. In most nations OF
the world today, plots against the gov
ernment are punishable by death. In this
country we merely provide imprison-
ment for varying lengths Of time-often
very short periods. 1t may be that we
are too SNUG for our own good, or that
we have too much confidence in our
ability to combat forces which seek
bloody revolution. At any rate, It GER
tainly appears quite foolish to repeal a
law which makes it illegal to plot mass
murder-anQ revolution Is uoIHluS IlOlc
than that
If the criminal syndicalism law IS re-
pealed, we may expect TO see new, un-
precedented outburst of anti-government
anti-social activity in California. Those
who believe that such activity should not
be tolerated should let their opposition
to the repeal proposal be known.
Civil liberty does not mean personal
license. A man enjoys civil liberty when
he voices criticism of his government,
and attempts to recruit others to his
viewpoint He enjoys civil liberty when
he votes as he pleases, without coercion
and without fear Of reprisal. To protect
that civil liberty, he must live within the
framework of a society dedicated to its
furtherance.
Personal license is another thing. An
attempt to destroy the liberty of others
does not come within the definition of
civil liberty. An attempt to destroy the
society which has been set up by others
for their own protection, and to bring
about this destruction by force and vio-
ence, cannot be covered by reference to
civil liberty. It is pure license.
The criminal syndicalism law does not
hamper civil liberty. 1t does restrict per-
sonal license-and because it does, it
should be retained on the statute books.

GARNER BLOC
CONSERVATISM
lPOrterViIle RecOrder(

The Roosevelt Morgenthau request
that the public debt limit be raised favor
ably to 80 billions probably will not be
reported fayoraby by the committee now
considering it, according to Washington
observers, the present lineup against it
being 18 to ), and its defeat on the floor
if it does get that far, is declared in the
same quarters to be assured. These fore
casts are said to be based upon the deter
mination of the so-called Garner bloc to
keep the debt limit where it is.
The Garner bloc is assertedly ambi-
tious to rid the Democratic party COM
pletely and permanently Of radical
'isms' and retainers" that have been at
tracted to it, even if that would mean the
party's defeat in 1910, believing that, in
case of such an eyentuality, the course
Of voting cycles would bring the Demo-
cratic party back into power four or
eight years later
For at least two years Vice-President
Garner obviously has been disturbed over
certain administration trends. He has
voiced his fears TO the president at diff
ferent times. Dir. Garner is said to have
informed close friends, Mr.. Roosevelt
included, that he is not anxious to become
president But. it may we'll be expected
that, unless trends which he believes are
too leftward end soon the vice-president
will WELD his admittedly strong influ-
ence to check those trends at the 1910
convention through adoption of a more
conservative platform and the nomina-
tion of a more conservative candidate
Whether he or some other man Of such
type is nominated may make no differ
ence to him.

Bruce Cation in WASHINGTON
Disseets the News

Constitution says is that Congress
shall make no law abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the
press.
1t may be that the court will
hold that a conspiracy by indivi-
duals TO deprive an editor Of this
right is not a violation Of this
statute. In this case, however q
local law enforcement official
the assistant state solicitor for Mo-
bile county is named as a party
to the conspiracy. For this reason
i, may be argued that the machin-
cry OF the state YVES used to deprive
EWald of his rights, and that con-
sequently the statute in question
does not apply.
Incidentally. if there was such a
conspiracy, it failed of its object
as far as the anti-gambling cru
SADIE was considered Ewald did give
up his job, but the Publisher, Ralph
Chandler, carried the campaign
along anyway.
