] Regional Winners
Fly in Finals Today if
Weather Permits
Moi. Gen. Arnold ond
Other Aviation Experts
Speok at Luncheon

Weather permitting, final flight
competitions for seven regional win
ners in the national aviation schol-
arship contest of the Institute OF the
Aeronautical Sciences for students
In the Civil Aeronautics Boards
civil pilot training program will be
flown here today after two days OF
postponementS.
The seven finalists, among them
John Lincoln Lambert, 20, junior
at the University of Maryland and
student of George Brinckerhoff at
College Park Airport, and girl,
20-year-old Barbara Jane Erickson,
junior at the University OF Wash
ington Seattle, were guests of honor
at luncheon yesterday at the May
flower Hotel at which Federal avia-
lion leaders emphasized the need for
Increased pilot training for national
security.
Time Vital Element
Mai. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief
of the Army Air Corps, said that
this time next year the Army will
be turning out combat pilots at the
rate of 10000 a year and already
is looking forward to increasing
this rate. The civil training program
is of great military value, Gen.
Arnold said, because every hour
saved in training a military pilot
means a great deal to the Army, in
view of the great numbers of train
eeS involved
There can't be any substitute
for time in national defense" the
Air Corps chief said. You can't
rut down the time of training pilots
or building airplanes by very much,
although we are trying to make up
for lost time"
The partially trained civil pilots
form a reservoir from which the
Navy expects to draw material for
its future naval aviators, Capt.
George D. Murray, Navy Bureau of
Aeronautics, said.
Hinckley Optimistic.
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
Robert H. Hinckley, former chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority, said that experience in the
training of pilots under the train
ing program has convinced him that
with our democratic form of gov
eminent, we can compete with the
relationships of the world
Much of Americas hope for a
great defense force with wings-a
force strong enough to brighten of,
at best, or battle off, at worst, any
threat to the freedom we all prize
much of that hope rests with the
training program, of which you have
become the symbol" Mr.. Hinckley
told the young contestants.
Opens Economic Career.
Dr. George w. Lewis, research d.
rector of the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, told the
contestants that there is a growing
field for trained aeronautical en-
gineers in research for the Govern
ment, industry and universities.
Maj. James H. Doolittle, presi-
dent of the Institute of the Aero
nautical Sciences, presented gold
watches to the contestants and
plaques to Dean John R. Jenison
of Tarkio College, Tarkio, Mo-, and
10 Earl Coe, former World War
pilot, who sponsored the pilot train
ing program there. Tarkio received
its award for establishing the most
proficient record for the year in the
training of pilots participating in
the Federal program.

For the first time in her So years,

Dundee, Scotland, now sees clearly.
Born with keratoconus, in which
both corneas are conical instead of
round, her view of objects more
than inches from her face was
blurred. BY the use of contact
lenses fitted directly to the eyeball
she can read with ease. She never
saw her husband clearly, but now

THIRD TERM CRISIS
christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
One who heard Hiram Johnsons radio
talk on the third term said: eff the
President heard that you would almost
think he'd resign" SO deep was the
California Senator's feeling, and so we'll
did he convey the spirit of the Presidents
who denied themselves third term that
many hearers must have understood that
this is no mere tradition but a deeply
rooted part of the American system
which great and wise men have consider
ed vital.
Without any sense of i'll will or per-
sonal condemnation, because the love of
power is a common human failing Sen
ator Johnson yet held President Roose-
velt to account for "renominating him
self" He declared it did not suffice to
say that the people still can refuse to
draft the President, since now the
question is thrown into the midst of a
heated campaign with other issues COM
plicating the decision.
Certainly if personal rule continues
to develop in the United States, Mr..
Roosevelt by his failure to step down
will bear large measure of responsible
ty. But there are many Americans re-
gardless of party who feel with Senator
Johnson that the "third-term crisis" is
the most important issue in the election.
There may be enough who perceive its
full meaning to prove decisive on Nov
ember 5. If so, the third-term rule will
be strengthened.

PROPOSITIONS ID
IS. Is AND II

Proposition Ia on the Nov. 5 ballot
is an assembly constitutional amendment
which, if enacted, will return to cities
and counties fair share of revenue
from which they were separated five
years ago by legal quirk, The PROPOSE
tion would, in brief, empower the state
legislature to apportion to cities and
counties a share of in lieu automobile
taAes and state liquor license fees, to be
used for local purposes.
AS it is now, cities and counties can
use such funds only for so-called state
purposes, because of constitutional
provision which was overlooked when
the state took over collection of in lieu
automobile taxes five years ago. 1t was
intended then that the funds should be
used by cities and counties as they saw
fit, and not within strict limits of state
purposes" The amendment would right
an existing wrong. We favor a 'yes"
vote

THE SUBSIDIZED VOTE
IN The UNITED STATES
Manchester, N. H., Union)

".
There is a danger today in the third
term issue that has not been sufficiently
stressed. This danger lies in the ability
OF a President disposed to trample on
the two term precedent to control any
presidential election through what may
be called the. subsidized vote.
BY the term 'subsidized" we refer to
the great army of voters which draws
support IN whole or in part from the
federal government.
1t is estimated that minimum of TO-
100000 voters in the United States today
are receiving checks from the United
States treasury for all or part of their
income. This figure includes the voting
families that are beneficiarieS of the
federal government through the WPA,
the AAA, and other types of federal
benefaction, as well as the great army
of federal employees.
While it is probably unfair to say that
all these voters will be controlled in the
exercise of their franchise in November
by the government benefactions they
receive the tendency undoubtedly will be
to listen to the argument that the best
way to guarantee the continued flow of
their government paychecks is to keep the
present administration in power. In
other words, the question of self interest
will be a dominating factor in determin-
ing how these persons vote
1t requires no stretch of the imagina-
ton to see what tremendous advantage
this situation gives President bent on
staying indefinitely in power, through
his ability to control the election.
In 1923 Hoover polled approximately
21,392,OO0 votes and AL Smith approx
mately. 100000. AS a result of the
crash in 1929 Roosevelt reversed these
figures by polling 22,8OO,OO0 votes to
Hoover's 15,7O0,00O. In 1886 the Roose-
velt-Landon vote was 2740O,0O0 and 49,
100000
The Presidential voting strength dur
ing the last decade has therefore ranged
between 36 and 43 million votes. A
block of 100000 subsidized votes is
roughly one-quarter of this voting
strength, and amply sufficient to swing
an election unless the bulk of the other
three-quarters is registered against
them

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Recent
stiffening of U. S. policy toward
Japan was caused by many things
Not least important of there was
the part played by a quiet, canny
career diplomat in the State. De-
partment, Dir. Stanley K Hornbeck,
who bears the title of adviser on
political relations.
Ever since the China incident
began three years ago. Dr. Hornbeck
has advocated a sterner attitude
toward Japan.
For a long time he stood pretty
much alone. Undersecretary Sum-
ner WelleS leaned in the other
direction, as did Maxwell Hamilton,
chief of the division of Far Eastern
affairs, So did the U. S. embassy
in Toxic, headed by famed Ambas-
Sador Joseph Grew.
1t has long been a tradition that
u. S. diplomats in the orient like
to have the home overnment talk
tough now and then-but not too
tough
After an outburst of tough talk,
the diplomat can sit down with
the ASiatics and say: Look they're
kind of getting out of hand in
Washington; you'd better make a
concession on this or that, or I
won't be able to hold them
TENNESSEE TEMPER
FLARES AT JAPS
1t was this tradition DR.. Horn
beck has contended with for three
years. Ambassador Grew followed
it pretty consistently, and has a
good deal to do with inducing the
administration to modify its project
for applying economic sanctions
backed by a threat of military
force when the incident" began.
Secretary Hull occupied a middle
ground. Often enough in the last
thret years the Japanese have
provoked a mighty flare-up of his
tough Tennessee temper-acoom
panied not infrequently, by some
virile and salty language but
native caution and determination
not to get out into position
the American public wasn't ready
to support always had their effect
Signing of tn ,tri-power axis
pact brought big change. The
differences of opinion didn't van
ish overnight, but they did shrink
aWfully fact. The shrinkage caused
Dr.. Hornbeck to stand out more and
more prominently as the man who
had had the idea all along.

OF oriental conditions and peoples
and exact information on what
has beeing going on out there.

PROPOSITION NO. Is

Most involved proposition on the bal
lot is No. 16 headed Legislature. Budg
cts. Governor" If for no other reason,
we would oppose it because it attempts
in one amendment to put over so many
things. You need only to read the head
ing-for which there is not space here
to get the impression it is wholesale
compilation of every experimental idea
there is in connection with the state legis
lature.
There are so many objections to the
proposal that we have not room for them
all here SO We shall cite the chief OBJ
lection. 1t is that, by providing annual
sessions Of the legislature, the measure
would double the expenses of that body,
for which taxpayers must pay. Instead
of meeting every two years, the legisla-
tors would meet every year. Costs would
be doubled More than likely, the num-
Der of laws would be doubled also-and
we have too many Of them now.
There are other, more technical argu-
ments against the bill which anyone in
terested can easily find. We believe, how
ever, that the item of expense alone is
sufficient to justify a strong recommen-
dation for mo" vote on this proposition.
PROPOSITION NO. II
Adopted by the legislature without a
dissenting vote, this proposed assembly
constitutional amendment would merely
give the state the same right every pri-
vate business has-to insure its agents,
officials and employees while they are
engaged in work for the state. The
amendment would not in any way affect
the liability of the state. 1t would mere
ly place the state on business basis
where its dealings with its employees are
concerned, and incidentally protect the
employees from unjust risks. The legis-
lature would retain the right to deter
mine which employees are entitled to
protection.
We recommend yes" vote on No. II.
