JOUR COUNTRY
A Sword And a Vision Taylor Caldwell Sees Them Essential To Our Survival

democracies must realize that their way of life is comparatively new in the world. The slave democracies of Greece and Rome were no real democracies. But 8 free people choosing its own government, set- ting up its own courts where every one is equal before the law, decid- ing its own issues, is a new phe- nomenon under. the old sun.
 The "new' tyrannical and man hating way of life of Communist Fascists is as ancient as life and death. Today, the final battle be- tween the new and the old is taking place, not only on bloody battle fields, but in the hearts and minds of all men. It all comes down to the basic question: DO we love men Or hate them?"
 Does democracy breed weakness and confusion and disorder? l am afraid so. But it need not. It is all matter of clarification. Democra- cies must vitally affirm certain doc trines; honor and courage, truth and justice. They must face the animal realism" of the enemie: with the reply that realism Is mol characterization, that men do moi live by the bread of comfort ane profits alone, and that there are no ble things worth fighting for as vel as base.
 And we should prepare ourselves to fight for them, not with words alone, but with steel. We must rio ourselves of our weaknesses, which are self-indulgence, selfishnesS, apa- thy, lack of discipline, fear of ad- versity and pain, repugnance to war, and luxury and love of profits We should say at every hour: l am ready to fight, not with phrases, but with guns; not tomorrow, but today
 Jesus said that if man lacked a sword, he should sell half his gar- ments and buy one. In another Sec- ton, the Bible decares that peo- pie without a vision must perish.
 We have neither vision nor a sword. And so, we must perish if we refuse to formulate the one, and take up the other. We must employ many of the vitalistic principles ot the old warning philosophies, while fixing our eyes steadfastly on the new ideal of universal courage and honor, truth and justice.
 A sword and a vision. Without these two, democracy must perish from the earth, not only overcome by the enemy, but with the disgust of God.
 James TrusIow Adams describes democracy as our most precious pos session, and tells how we can keer it, in the next article of this series on "Our Country"

BIG FINANCIAL
 PROGRAM AHEAD

Other major improvements, in ad- dition to the pipe line, the inciner- ator and the sewage disposal plant would be also considered if the bond plan should be adopted. One might be the long, sought new trunk line sewer along the Mad river from South Main street to the East End. Street and bridge improve ments would also be possible.
 Mayor Gets Plan
 The plan has been presented to Mayor Vincent A. Scully in a gen. eral way. The mayor said today that he has been too busy with plans for local Selective service registra- tion to go into the proposed pro- gram in detail.
 It is expected that a decision or the bond issue program will be made before the Board of Finance sends its recommended budget to the Board of Aldermen late in Novem- Der. Even should budget provision be made, however, the plan would still be subject to the approval oi the Legislature. Also, banking firms which would handle the issue would also have to give their approval.
 If redemption of the bonds could be largely delayed for 12 years or more, the issue would have no large effect on the city's tax rate for the next few years.

 Many here believe that once the organization is set up Dykstra will return to his university post either at the end of the first semester in February or in June. In such event it was believed Hershey would be named director.
 Local draft boards made final ar- engagements for registering all men who have reached their 21St birth day but not their 36th between ' a. m., and g p. m. on Wednesday.

 The members are nominated by state governors. These boards must be ready to function the day after registration when each registration card will be numbered for the lot tery to be held in Washington late this month.

 Hines declined to discuss his case in detail.
 T never felt better in my life" he said. q slept well last night and I'll sleep well tonight and to- morrow night because know I am innocent. I hope that Davis (J. Richard Davis, Schultz Attorney Dewey District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey) and Schoenhaus (Big Harry Schoenhaus, state witness) will sleep as well. And if any one of them has any conscience, I know he won't"
 Hines great influence in Tam many was during the regime of for mer Mayor James J. Walker and his predecessors, though he re- mained the leader of his district until his conviction in 1889. But his power was shorn with that of his Tammany associates after 1882 when Mayor F. H. LaGuardia turn ed Tammany out of city hall, de- priving it of its municipal patron age.
 Hines was convicted of protect ing the Schultz lottery by district Attorney Thomas E. Dewey in two spectacular trials that gave Dewey the national publicity that almost resulted in his getting the Repub- lican presidential nomination.
 Dewey's first effort to convict him ended in a mistrial. In his second, he proved that Hines was on the Schultz payroll, getting $500 to $1,O00 week, that he influenced at least the magistrate to never convict Schultz lottery bankers and peddlers, that he saw to it that any policeman rash enough to interfere with the racket, was sent to "the sticks" or otherwise punished.
 Hines chief consolation as he accepted the inevitability of prison after fighting since his conviction in the upper court, was his ability to "take it." It was like ''being kicked in the belly" he said but q can take it."
 To prove it, he allowed reporters to watch him play a farewell game of golf with three friends yes- terday. He wanted them to see how steady his hands were, how un- ruffled was his game.

TOM MIX IN HIS LAST APPEARANCE

 Mary Pickord, his neighbor for many years, said she believed if Mix had had his way about it he would have wanted to have had it come just as quickly as it did. "
 The 60-year old Mix had been a Texas ranger, soldier in the Spanish sh-American war and in the Boxer rebellion, sheriff at var ious times of three countries, U. s. marshal, and guide to the late President Theodore Roosevelt, but it was as a cowboy actor that he won his fame
 He began to make pictures in 1918 with his famous horse, Tony, at a bank clerks salary. Within a few years, he was drawing 8 week ly paycheck of $5,000 and during the next decade it is estimated that he made more in the movies than any other actor or actress.
 In late years, he had travelled with a circus in which he owned a major interest. He was travelling as an advance agent for it when his automobile swerved on a dirt road, overturned and killed him.

 An executive also must be a per- son whose work of the same nature as that performed by non-exempt employees does. not exceed 20 per cent of the number of hours worked in the work week by the non- ex- empt employees under his direction '' That provision does not apply to a person in sole charge of an enter prise or 8 branch.

All must be paid $200 month or more for their work. The first type exempted is one who regularly and directly as- SiSts an executive or another exempt administrative employe; the second is one who performs duties direct ly related to management policies or general business operations long specialized or technical lines re- quiring special training, experience or knowledge. The third type is one whose work consists of directed tasks related to management poli- cies or general business operations.

 The ministry also asserted that civilian morale in Berlin had been seriously affected by British raids, partly because some high Nazi off, cials had seen fit to leave the target zone for "autumnal vacations in the safety of upper Bavaria.
 Civilian morale in Berlin had been affected partly, it was said, because Field Marshal Hermann Goering. the Nazi air chief, had been unable to make good his boast that British planes never could penetrate Ger man anti-aircraft defenses.
 Supporting claims of effectvie at tacks on the German ports of Bre- men and Bremerhaven, the ministry quoted Swedish seamen who had visited them as telling Swedish newspapers that Bremerhaven was an inferno" and that Bremen seemed to be under continual at tack while they were there.
