Everywhere 1 turned on Sunday it was nothing
but Judge Manton." Coming on the heels of the
"Coster-Musica" shock, following the Richard
Whitney" debacle, it just seems to be too much
for some of our big Time" Boys, who feel their
control being assaulted Tom Deweys hunt for
Jimmie Hines is a pink tea compared to what is
apt to happen if one-tenth he alleges against
Judge Martin Manton is correct. We wonder
that such wild things Sitdown strikes and
communism can survive if our highest courts
can be proven to be so rotten. 1t makes you
stop and think back at numerous decisions
handed down by various courts of late, and just
wonder why. What an indictment this is in the
public eye. I got so jittery ups and goes to the
Roxy to see Jesse James" It was thrilling
movie, but in itself great indictment against
law and order and our courts of THAT day and
time, as we'll as the old high-handed(?) railroad
ing methods.
Looks to me like our new Attorney General able
Frank Murphy, has lots to do. General, how about
making them clean house, no matter where it
leads? Reform apparently, is just really be-
ginning.
A ND just to think they didn't want the SEC

insurance or anything to protect the little man.
If you haven't read the accusations against
Judge Manton, please do so and N. B.: Take
good notice" of some of the "big" names you
will find to appear therein Just WHAT does
this all mean to the lower one-third, much less
to you and me? It's now we'll after midnight
and another birthday for our great President

I am just beginning to wonder what this day
might have in store for me.

prize, $4,000, was a group of
poor people in a small interior
town. Never has one person
collected the entire grand prize;
this has proved to be the gen.
eral case in the distribution of
all prizes since the start.
A SURVEY, authorized by H.
n L. Cochran, present director
of the lottery, has found no
evidence that prize money is
wasted or ill-spent. On the
contrary, many Of the prize
winners have purchased or
erected homes, bought stores
and farms, paid debts and in
general benefited themselves
and the island community.
Everything has been done to
make the lotteries attractive to
the people. Under the SUPPOSE
ton that the money was going
to charitable institutions, a law
was passed that winners are
not forced to pay income tax
on prize money.
From the ticket printing right
through to the drawing, which
is made before a blue.ribbon
jury, rigid precautions are
taken to insure that no breath
of scandal shall touch the
lottery.
Cochrane, a former San Juan
banker, plans to cut the $6
tickets into 10-cent splits and
the SIS tickets into 25-cent
fractionS-thus delivering the
final deaththrust to whatever
petty numbers racketeers still
exist.

jected on solid grounds-those of Attorney Gen.
eral Murphy and Secretary Hopkins.
Meanwhile, in his jackson Day speech, the
President invited the conservatives of his party,
meaning these recalcitrant Democratic Senators.
to leave their party and join the Republican
Tweedledums.
What happened? Absolutely nothing. If the
President was expecting this invitation to precipi-
tate an open rupture between himself and the
conservative wing of his party he must have
been greatly chagrined. The Senatorial con-
servatives smiled, yawned-and refused to leave
their party.
So what?

LIGHTER!
Man Loses 5-oz. Lead
Sinker From Luna

Harry Duchaine, A, soil con-
servation employe here. had a
souvenir of his boyhood fishing
days today-a lead sinker weigh
ing five ounces which doctors re-
moved from his lung in Mercy
Hospital, Baltimore.
Duchaine does not recall swal-
lowing the Sinker, but believes he
did it about 35 years ago, when
he fished in the lakes of Wiscon-
sin.
During the Christmas holidays
he felt a pain in his chest and
entered the Baltimore hospital
for examination.
DR.. Waitman F. Zinn directed
an operation with a bronchoscope
and the sinker was removed.

MOtiUe for Amlie Appointment

GO MR. ROOSEVELT sends to the Senate the
~ nomination of Mr.. Amlie, perhaps the most
radical member of the last Congress, to be a
member of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. 1t was like Haunting a red rag in the face
of the stolid old conservative Senate bull.
Amlie is so radical even Wisconsin can't
stomach him. He doesn't believe in the capitals
tic system. He is for Government ownership
If the Senate confirms him. it is believed by
great many that Mr.. Roosevelt will come back
at the Senate with another appointment even
worse.
Now, if this theory is sound. that the President
is seeking to force break between himself and
his party conservatives. what could be his motive?
The answer one hears at the Senate is at least
logical 1t is that the President needs somebody
to blame for New Deal failure
He can no longer blame the Supreme Court.
He must make the issue between himself and
the conservatives Of the Senate complete
The President could then say to the country
that in matters of relief and appointments, he
has been thwarted by the Senate.

that they will submit to no further brow beating,
that they are prepared to defend their posses
sons and interests even at the cost of war.
President Roosevelt is revealing his resolve to
extend sympathy and economic favoritism to
Europe's two leading democracies.
Under these circumstances, it is not illogical
that hesitancy should prevail in the highest fnan
cial, industrial business circles here.
"Third Term Danger" Eliminated
IF EUROPEAN uncertainties could be left out
of consideration, the United States, in my
opinion, would very shortly begin a forward
march which would carry us far.
Quite extraordinary is the change which has
overtaken public sentiment, almost all employers
are now convinced. They regard danger of third
term as having been eliminated. They are now
sure that Congress will exercise independence
and conservatism They are not afraid that fur
ther New Deal reforms" can be forced onto the
statute books.
They are strongly hopeful that the injurious
Wagner labor law will be modified. They are
gratified over the stand taken by the Senate on
WPA spending.
Unemployment last month made headway.
Even this month the general economic trend has
been sideways rather than definitely downwards.
So, should European clouds lift we could easily
see transformation here.

If the President is trying to put them in the
wrong with the people, they do not propose to
permit him to get away with it if they can help
it. And they think they can.
President Waited to Turn on Heat
TNHE PRESIDENT permitted the House Appro-
l. priations Committee to slash his relief esti-
mate by $3.50 100000, and then did not raise a
finger as the House proceeded to stand by its
committee.
It was not until the relief bill reached the
Senate, and the Senate conservatives undertook
to keep relief down to 725,0O0 O00 that the heat
was turned on. And some heat!
Instead of the usual White House lobby at the
Capitol, with Charlie West gunshoeing around,
the White House sent out letters in reply to
queries about the relief cut putting the response
bfity squarely on the Senators.
This is strictly the modern method of Wash
ington lobbying

according to the islands eco
