Stressing the importance Of eco
nomic freedom, WilmingtOn's mayor
declared the founders Oi the nation
by freedom, meant not only the
freedoms in the Bill Of Rights, but
economic freedom as well.
Because they we're strong beIiev-
ers in encouraging business enter

welfare, the United States now hes |
the highest real wages, the shortest |
working hours and the greatest per- |
centage of home ownership on earth, |
he said.
Suggests Three Steps
Mayor Bacon gave three means of
removing the artificial barriers,
which, he said, are now holding in
dustry back.
THE first must be the removal
of the capricious interference with
industry by regulatory commits

ment in the tax system which
presently penalties personal and
corporate investment and expar-
sion, and third, the cessation of \
government spending on such an
enormous scale. The legislative pol
icies of the New Deal have discour-
aged the use of private capital for
the development of industry and pre-
vented the remployment Of millions
looking for jobs"

Only 8 Ships Sunk
During Past Week

LONDON, March 19,-CPp-The
Admiralty announced today that
nine British and neutral ships we're
lost by enemy action in the week
ended Sunday at midnight. Tonnage
totalled 1892.
Most of the casualties were list
ed as due to illegal mines, with
only four ships sunk by German
submarines since Feb. "a.
The opinion was expressed that
submarines which have escaped de-
struction have been recalled tenn
porarily.
The weeks losses were described
as three British ships, totalling s.
449 tons; two French, 3,172; and
four neutrals, 1921 tons, none in
convoy.

there seems little doubt that most

No Trouble Expected
From CensOrs
Every beer and hamburger joint
would become a sort of cabaret,
with a wall show instead Of a floor

ties with municipal license laws, al
though most of them do not restrict
the showing of 16-mm. film, which
is the size to be used in slot ma
chimes. Censorship is not expected
to be a handicap either, the notion

ton.
Importance of this last point lies
in the fact that California a here
tofore been rated a fairly safe
democratic state, and is considered
one of the states the democratic
nominee must carry if he is to be
elected.
TWO STATES BEING
FORMED FOR F. D. r.
TIE begin with, two Roosevelt
states Of delegates are in The max
ing. One is headed by Gov. Culbert
L. Olsen; the other will shortly he
formed by the McAdoo-Creel wing
of the California democracy. Under
CALIFORNIA; law, a local committee
IAN enter a slate pledged to any
candidate, and the consent Of the
candidate is not necessary; to keep
such a slate off the ballot he must
formally disavow it, in writing.
Governor Olsen at the moment is
in exceptionally hot water. Recall
petitions are in circulation, with
enough signatures to force an cleo
ton virtually assured. Recall cleo
ton date is expected to be set for
some time just before the demo-
cratic convention; recent advices
say that the governors recall is al
most a certainty. (Olson is in bad
with both right and left wingers in
his state; also, he has been hurt by
recent charges that race-track own
ers were shaken down heavily
Thus there will be two delegate
states. Let them both go on the bal
lot and they will be likely to split
the vote and let a third slate
through. Preparation of such 2
slate, nominally pledged to a favor
tie son and prepared to throw its
vote either to Wheeler, Farley or
Hull, IS reliably reported; m Cali
fornia politician here flatly predicts
that it will win if it opposes two
FDR states. .
Yet the President can hardly dis.
avow either Of the two Roosevelt
slates-which he must do, in writ
ing, to keep one off the ballot
without, by inference, coming cut
in the open as a formal candidate.
Complaining the situation is the
fact that in 1886 FDR did endorse
a California slate, over his sigma
ture. Some men from that slate are
today in the McAdoo-Creel faction,
some are in the Olson faction; and
the third faction has %photostats of
the 1885 endorsement which it is
ready to flourish to add to every
body's embarrassment.
DOWNEY IS READY
Lastly, CALIFORNIA; Senator Sheri-
dan Downey is ready for battle. He

fight-has turned down requests
