Carleton Hurls Dodgers To
81 Verdict In First; Gin
cinnati Wins Finale, 6-2

CINCINNATI, June 9-R The
Reds came out-in front in their
battle with Brooklyn over the Ma
tional league lead today by split
ting a doubleheader with the Dod-
gers. Cincinnati took the night
cap 6-2 after losing the first game
81.
Tex Carleton, who pitched his
way to fame with a no-hit, no-run
game here in April, held the Reds
in the opener to two hits for sew
en- innings as Brooklyn came back
with a vengeance from a 23-2
trouncing in Cincinnati Saturday.
Carleton allowed five hits in all,
the same number given up to
Brooklyn by Junior Thompson, hur-
ling for the Reds in the final.
Frank McCormick's sixth home
run of the season accounted for
the Reds only run in the seventh
inning of the first game.
Brooklyn scored three runs in
the opening frame of the first game
off Jim Turner or two singles, a
base on balls and Dolph Camilli's
double. Carleton's single and Dixie
Walkers double netted another
marker in the second. Walkers
second two-cornered blow and Joe
Vosmik's single accounted for a
fifth-inning score. Joe Beggs re-
placed Turner en- the mound in the
same stanza.
Heavy hitting in the nightcap, in
GLIDING homers by Bill Werber and
Billy Myers, enabled Cincinnati to
split the four-game series.
The Dodgers grabbed a 2-run
start in the first inning on two
singles, a pass and a sacrifice but
the Reds tied the score in the third.
Myers clouted his homer and a
single by Thompson, a fly and a
double by Lonnie Frey brought in
another run. The Reds took the
lead in the fifth on werber's sew
enth homer of the season. Doubles
by Johnny Rizzo and Thompson
gave the Reds another run in the
sixth.

CHICKEN OR THE EGG?
Raleigh News and Observer

From the same platform in Des Moines,
Iowa, last week Harper sibley, president of
the Chamber of of the United
States, and Milo Perkins, president of the Fed
eral Surplus Commodities corporation, spoke to
farmers of the west.
Mr.. Sibley, who has beer a sharp critic of
the new deal, declared that "a sound and hon
est program by government to encourage the
growth and expansion of American business
and industry" would go farther to solve farm
and unemployment problems than all other
federal government remedies.
Mr.. Perkins announced that a recent study
of incomes of 20, 400, 900 families and 10, 900, 900
individuals for the period 1935-1936, made by
the bureau Of labor statistics and the bureau
of home economics with the collaboration of
the National Resources committee, had disclos-
ed that 1000, 900 families, or IA per cent of
the total, had an average income of only 1912
for the year. More than 5000, 900 families, or
27.5 per cent of the total, had an average in
come of $75S.
Undoubtedly, as Mr.. Sibley says, business
and industry should be encouraged in growth
and expansion. But we come to the old prob
lem of the chicken and the egg. Can business,
with all encouragement, grow while so many
Americans on the land remains so poor? Fur
thermore, it is a historical fact that when
Coolidge and Mellon were giving business and
industry encouragement and everything else
they asked-when stocks scared and business
was confident before 1929-the depression on
the land in agriculture was already full grown.
No nominations of encouragement by Presi-
dent or congress or any other potentateS or
powers will quickly dispel what Mr.. Perkins
called ''the nightmare of underconsumption"
which sis the black plague of the Goth CEN
tury."
We have a long way to go yet. Certainly no
return to attitudes which governed when the
depression grew first on the land will serve
as solution for the huge and persisting problem
now

HIGHWAY REPAIRS PROJECT

Governor HoEY's ALLEGATION of two million
dollars for repairs to highways damaged by
winter storms is commendable, but it is hard
to understand why he limited the amount to
this figure when highway engineers estimate
the damage cannot be repaired for less than
two and a quarter millions.
1t would seem that engineers trained to
figure costs of road work are best qualified
to set the amount needed for the job. But
perhaps the governor has his own mysterious
method of estimating costs, and considers
it better than that of the engineers. However
this may be, his revision of figures reflects
upon the highway departments most skilled
and highly trained aides.
One ~solacing fact, however, is to be found
in the announcement that highway work is to
go forward at once. The money to be thus
used will not be available for diversion. Even
if it should prove inadequate to the need,
two millions of the highway funds will go
into the highways. And that is something to
gloat over.

RADIO RECEPTION

Complaint of radio reception is c~ity-wide.
Whether you tune in during day or night
there is strong probability of interference, Of
ten so loud that you tune out in self defense.
The condition imposes a strain on taut
nerves and does things to otherwise placid
dispositions. Instead of finding enjoyment,
fans mostly find distress. An uninterrupted
program is a rarity.
The popular opinion is that the annoying
noises stem from transformers on poles
throughout the city. Minute sounds in them
are picked up and magnified by radio receiv-
ing sets, compliments believe.
We are not eligible to pass judgment or
sven confirm this diagnosis. But it is not
inappropriate to suggest that a survey by
The Tide Water Power company would be
helpful. It would at least reveal if it's trans
formers do actually contribute to the trou-
bled reception, or clear them of blame.

GET TOGETHER

Western North Carolina mayors and civic
leaders found their good will junket to Flori
da so much to their liking and reckon it cap
able of such good results that they propose
to form a permanent organization with the
idea that it will vastly promote the best in
terests of their entire section. That's good.
But why limit membership to one part of
the commonwealth? Eastern North Carolina
is still a part of the state. We hazard the
belief that it is even an important part.
If the westerners want to go it alone, and
they will be we'll within their rights if they
do so decide, there is nothing to prevent a
similar organization in these parts. In fact,
if the Florida tour die all claimed for it,
and if the mayors and other leaders over
yonder are convinced that organization is the
best way to get ahead, we fasteners would
be justified in putting their decisions to the
test by following their example.
Maybe it was CoNFUCIUs who first thought
up the axiom that "in unity there . is
strength Oh maybe it was his brother, or
perhaps Ben FRANKLIN. Where it came from
union of mayors and business leaders in
eastern North Carolina obviously could do
more for the section than mayors and leaders
going their own independent way.

RID ROUTE SOUGHT

d URAL free delivery, which has searched
cowpaths in the United States, to the great
comfort and convenience of families in the
hinterland, has nevertheless overlooked a re-
gion of North Carolina. and the people want
something done about it.
A petition signed by ITS residents of the
Tar Landing section has been sent to the
postoffice department asking that mail be de-
livered directly to them that they may be
saved the trip to Folkstone, when not held
at home by farm duties, an arrangement they
deplore as time available for going to town
comes only about once a week. Representative
GRAHAM harden has promised such aid as
he can give, whenever the postal authorities
call him into conference.
The petitioners cite the fact that a Star
Route is now in operation out Of Sneads
Ferry to Dixon, and ask that it be extended
to serve their vicinity, or, if this is not
feasible, an RID route be created for them.
Their communication to the Washington
authorities is the first step in getting mail
service. That the other steps will be taken
is likely, as it is the policy of the postoffice
to carry the mails to all communities.
Now that the fact that so many persons
in one locality are without mail service is
brought to the attention of the postoffice de-
partmen.. and Representative BARDEN is COM
mitted to sponsor their appeal, it would seem
that Tar Landing folk may hope for speedy
and favorable action.

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
DIVINE RIGHT
Charlotte News

The supreme courts refusal to review the ap-
peal of Martin Thomas Manton, lately the
senior judge of the U. S. district court in New
York, was almost a %foregone conclusion.
Manton had not admitted his guilt of accept
ing brides, but. the evidence was Overwhelming.
And he himself had tacitly recognized as much
by advancing as his main contention the propo-
sition that:
From a broad viewpoint it serves no pub
lie policy for a high judicial officer to be
convicted of a judicial crime. 1t tends to
destroy the confidence of the people in the
courts.
1t amounts to saying that, no matter how
guilty a judge may be, he, like kings of earlier
times, should remain sacrosanct-that he en-
joys carte blanche to do as he pleases, subject
only to the curb of his own conscience.
But the divine right Of Judges is not a doc
trine which belongs in the American system. On
the contrary, our whole theory of justice right
ly requires that a judge who betrays his trust
shall be doubly punished. In medieval times
unjust judges were fiayed alive.
One of the charges which will undoubtedly
be brought in the case is that Manton has got

FUNDS FOR

Perhaps congress-, in voting to help Fin
land with twenty million dollars for non
military purposes, has done all that could be
expected of it. 1t might be impolitic to lift
the restriction and let Finland use the money
for war purposes. That would imperil our
cherished neutrality and probably provoke
STAIN and HITLER to new outbursts against
us, which we certainly would not enioy. In
the meantime Russian invaders draw nearer
to Finland's main defenses and it becomes
obvious that the Films cannot continue their
heroic defense much longer unless men and
war materials pour in to help them.
Finland's greatest need is not aid for non
combatants. Not now. Her need is for rein
forcements and munitions. Without them
she will perish, and with her defeat will
come a new phase Of EIrope's conflict which
Inevitably will draw in neutral nations, lin
Guiding the United States.
So, while congress has done its best, albeit
reluctantly, it is gratifying to find the Amer
lean people contributing to a Finnish war
fund. Donations to the Fighting Funds for
Finland will go a long way toward giving us
the national security we wish for so d%evoutly.
