1898 Conservation
Payments Will Be
Half 1887 Total

Conservation payments to
Imperial Valley farmers un-
der the 1888 program will
total approximately S150,OOO
as compared to nearly $780,
900 payments in 1887 Roland Bal
lou, county conservation association
secretary announced Friday.
The payments to valley farmers
were cut in half because Imperial
county was declared a "B" county
in last years classifications, Ballou
said.
Subsequent checkups, demanded
by the county association, resulted
in reciassification of the county in
1899, however, Ballou pointed out,
and as result 80 payments will
be virtually the same as benefits
to farmers under the 1887 program.

been quelled; death or prison has
overtaken ringleaders in the disor-
ders, and the State of Kentucky has
dropped about 500 complaints and
indictments against men and women
growing out of labor difficulties.
Under the circumstances. the Gov
ernment had the alternative of en-
couraging a new era of warfare by
once more pitting miners and opera
tors against each other ON the wit
ness stand, or Of letting we'll enough
alone and withdrawing from the
scene. The Department of Justice
unQuestionably was faced with the
realization. too, that the outcome of
the first trial had not added strength
to its case.
The motion to Quash the indict-
ments expressed the belief that "the
existing peace will be lasting" and
as employer and employe at last have
been able to meet on common ground,
there is no reason why that should
not be the case. Certainly, Federal
and State governments have made
their contribution toward that end.

Peace in Harlan

The Department of Justice has
taken rather unusual step in aban-
doning the Harlan County conspiracy
indictments for the announced pur-
pose of promoting peace in the tu-
multuous coal fields of Eastern Ken
lucky, but in this instance, the pub
lie interest probably is better served
than would have been the case had
the prosecution been pressed.
The complaint the Government is
dropping involved over half hun
dred coal companies, operators and
peace officers who were accused un-
der a sixty -eight-year-old criminal
statute of conspiring to deprive the
miners of a right guaranteed them
by another law, in this instance, COL
lective bargaining under the Wagner
Act. At cost of a quarter of a mil
lion dollars, the Government spent
three months in the Summer of 1898
on trial that ended in the failure of
the jury to agree on a verdict.
Since then, the miners and oper-
ators have made peace; another out
break over working conditions has

"in the absence Of any self-imposed
policy to the contrary, 1t is con-
ceivable that some individuals or
groups with financial means to do
so could buy all the available time
necessary to monopolize, dominate
or control the discussion Of public
issues through the radio medium,
precluding fair opportunity for an
opposition without financial re-
sources to present its case to the
radio audience"
More tangible than this cure for
a potential evil is the likelihood that
the rule will limit the effective range
OF some notable voices whose ad-
vocacy Of causes tends to exceed the
bounds Of polite debate.
Coming at time when the arms
embargo controversy is at it's height.
the new ruling, applying to about
81 per cent of commercial radio,
undoubtedly will be the target of
attack. Until and unless it is demon
strated, however, that it infringes
on a free and frank discussion of
public issues that is unmarked bv
the introduction of extraneous fac
tors, 1t stands as proper exercise
OF the right of self-regulation.

Advice to Business

Almost on the depression's tenth
birthday, the Commerce Department
asks American business to put the
brakes on the gathering boom.
Since the war began, the signs of
good times have been with US.
Prices are higher Jobs are more
plentiful. Production is squirting.
The picture looks good, but the Com
merce Department sees flaw. The
consumers are not buying goods as
fast as they are coming from the
factories. In other words, we are
experiencing at the moment an an
ticipatory boom, built on hopes and
expectations of big business from the
war. 1t is not buyers boom. So
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins ad-
vises the Nation that price rises at
this time would undoubtedly invite
reaction"
This is wise counsel. In a long
war, the United States eventually
will become the major supplier of
the allied countries with Atlantic
coastlines. The Latin American
countries will look to the United
States for the goods which they
bought in Central Europe before Sep
tember l. Slowly the demand for
goods from the United States will
expand. But slowly is the word, and
blowing the bubble too quickly now
in speculation on that rosy future
may mean a slump. The United
States was in the economic slough of
deSpond for almost the whole of the
first year of the World War.
Mr.. Hopkins appeals to business
craftsmanship" to seek real profits
in swift turnover instead of hopeful
price advances. In this anniversary
month, business probably will be in
clined to heed the Secretary. Octo-
ber, 1929, brought the Wall Street
crash which usfnred in the depres-
sionAa crash ascribable to heavy
speculation in future profits. It is
good to remember not only that the
consumers are not in a buying mood
but that large portion of the coun-
trys consumers are not in a buying
position. The American farmers still
live in depression. This year has
been worse for them than last year.
A general speculative price advance
probably would find the farmer un-
willing to buy thing which he did
not hold absolutely necessary.
Evening star., 1939-10-09
Local Appointments

Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee once more has given
reassuring evidence that he believes
local residents should have first claim
to local appointments.
Indicating that he would look with
favor on the appointment of United
States Attorney David A. Pine to the
existing vacancy on the District
Court bench, the Utah Senator said
he would be opposed to the selection
or any outsider for the post. In that
connection his view carries particular
significance, for Senator King usually
is assigned to handle District judicial
nominations before they are con-
flrmed by the Senate. He is a men,
Der of the Judiciary Committee, as
we'll as chairman of the District
group.
For several years Senator King has
held to the opinion that there is no
need for going outside the member
ship of the District bar to find men
OF high judicial caliber.
In the Nations Capital the District
Court is more than just a Federal
tribunal. 1t also must handle for
the local community the litigation
that elsewhere would go to State
courts, about 30 per cent of it's time
being occupied with that work. This
constitutes special reason why Dis
trict residents should be named to
District courts.

REGULATION of Radio

The new rule laid down by the
Code Committee of the National
Association of Broadcasters binding
individual stations to refuse here
after to sell radio time to "spokes-
men of controversial public issues"
widens the scope of policy already
In force on the major networks.
Under the regulations now an
nounced the presentation of "con-
troversial" matter will be confined
to free periods granted to repre-
sentative spokesmen or groups "
in accord with public interest, pro-
gram balance and availability of
time," or to the forum type of pro-
gram, which may or may not be
commercially sponsored, but where
both sides of a question are treated
equally.
The reason for this step, the COM
n1ittee said, was the realization that,
