Citizens Association Told
Playground Fight Won

Several years Of effort by the
Congress Heights Progressive Citi-
zens' Association for q playground
have been rewarded by success,
members of the association were told
by DR.. Edward e. Richardson at
meeting last night.
DR.. Richardson said four acres
on Alabama avenue between Randel
place and Seventh street Sc. had
been approved as the site and that
work probably would begin In the
early spring"
Claiming that the District ruling
which declares participants in high
school sports ineligible for other
teams outside the school is unfair" :"
Milton I. Lewis, guest speaker Of
the evening, argued that there Is
no necessity for such ruling, and it
should be changed. An example
given by Mr.. Lewis was the case
of the American Legion junior base
ball teams, which, he said, are not
allowed to use players who wish to
be members OF the school team. His
appeal was for citizens associations
to join in an attempt to bring about
a new ruling.
1t. John w. McGinness of No. II
police precinct told the association
that although four streets have been
designated for shedding, there are
not enough policemen in the pre-
cinct to allow for the maximum
protection that is required by law
and so must refrain from roping
of all these sections. This problem
may be solved by the loaning of
private or public owned property
where uniformed protection will not
be obligatory, he said.
Objectives for the coming meet
ings were outlined as follows: A
branch bank, establishing of a
branch library, a new post office, the
paving of Fifth and Tenth streets
Sc. and the building Of South Capt.
tol Street Bridge.
The meeting was held in the Con-
gress Heights School.

Jew. Beckham Dies;
Former Kentucky
Governor, Senator
Veteran Political Leader
III Since Stroke of
Paralysis in August
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 81. G. w.
Beckham, II, former Democratic
Governor Of Kentucky and United
States Senator, died here early today.
Mr.. Beckham, then Lieutenant
Governor, became Governor in 1900
after the assassination Of William
Goebel.
The veteran political leader and
lawyer, i'll since a stroke Of paralysis
last August, was a leading figure in
Kentucky political history nearly q
half century, beginning with his elec-
ton over his own protests as a State
representative when he was "a.
He was elected to the United States
Senate in 1914 and served one term.
In recent years he tried in vain to
win election again for both the gov
ernorship and the Senate.
His most recent office was that Of
chairman of the State Public Service
Commission.
Mr.. Beckham actively supported
Gov. (now Senator) A. B. Chandler
in 1888 in his unsuccessful effort to
win the senatorial nomination from
Senate Majority Leader Barkley,
backed by President Roosevelt. Mr..
Chandler went to the Senate last
fall to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Logan, also
a Democrat.
Gov. Goebel was assassinated in
January. 1900, while en- route to
joint legislative session while he and
the Republican nominee, w. S.
Taylor, both were claiming election.
His slayer never was identified.
Mr.. Taylor assumed ofiice armed
with a certificate Of election which
Mr.. Goebel refused to recognize. The
Legislature declared Mr.. Goebel
elected.
Frankfort, the State capital, was
an armed camp for six months.
Mr.. Beckham, declared Gov
ernor by the Legislature after Mr..
Goebel's death, set up Office in a
hotel. Mr.. Taylor stayed in the
capitol. Both were surrounded by
troops.
In May, Mr.. Taylor left ONCE after
the United States Supreme Court
ruled the Legislature acted within
its rights in ousting him.

enough. It's whole pattern is an ar
gument that what happened before
is happening again-up to ana in
Guiding the eventual rOuSilg of
complacent democracy and its tri-
umph over oppression.
This picture doesn't show that
we merely muddled through in 1918
by helping to push over an ex-
hausted enemy. There's nothing to
indicate the perils of cropping and
bungling and inadequate training
or the delays in planning and sup
ply. The picture makes too strong
an inference that all this country
needs to win a war is to get hop
ping mad.
SEQUESTERED
Prowling the sets at Metro, I'm
often reminded self-consciOiisIy that
this department pays little atten-
ton to the two biggest stars in mo-
vies. Hollywood itself doesn't see
much of them. jeanette Macdonald
and Nelson Eddy are not particu-
larly colorful personally, or cordial,
either. in their relations with re-
porters. BY this I mean only that
they maintain businesslike re
serve. Singing actors have to work
extra hard at their jobs.
Miss Macdonald and Mr. Ed5y
do not need The affection or Curl
osity of the press. As team. their
names almost certainly attract more
ticket-buyers than would any other
combination you can think Of.
New Moon" is an example. The
story is weak and the production
as a whole is below par. But the
picture is turning in staggering
crosses, thanks to its trusty stars.
They get about twice IS much
fan mail as any other two players
teamed or not Each has two Sec
retaries, and Miss Macdonald gets
so many inquiries from aspiring
singers that she prepared an an
sWering pamphlet which frequently
is reprinted in 10000 lots. Their fan
mail is unique in tone; people re-
gard them with a sort of fierce
possessiveness and are personally
infuriated by any criticism.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-08-08
YOUNGSTERS CAN BRING
DEMOCRACY TO BEDROCK

First off, we don't know the inside
story behind what happened the other
night at the Young Republican meeting.
If we'd been the president of that group,
we'd have resigned and called for vote
of confidence. If, on the other hand,
we'd been on the other side, we'd most
likely have left the president alone and
tried to get our way by stampeding the
club past him But there's the trouble.
We've watched the old-time politicians
work too long The youngsters haven't
and that's what makes them the most
potent force in the political life of this
country.
IL would be a grand thing if the old
timers would remember that, and let the
young men and wemen handle their af-
fairs in their own way.
We're not particularly plugging for
the Young Republicans, nor for he
Young Democrats either, for that mat
ter. But we'd like to see the youngsters
on both sides reach political maturity
without being warped and twisted in pat
terms set out by the older hands And
we'd like to see the youngsters grow to
such stature that when they do achieve
political maturity they remember that
the United States of America can be des-
cribed either as a democratic republic
or republican democracy
The trouble with lot OF us old timers
is that when we elect a president out
of the Democratic party, We expect the
Democrats to run the country; when we
elect Republican party candidate, we
take it for granted that the Republicans
will run the country. We're altogether
too apt to forget that a Republican or a
Democrat is elected to serve the people,
not to serve his party.
And of all the places in which this
strange conceit has gained a foothold,
the county central committees - both
Democrat and Republican-are worst.
Witness what our own Democratic COM
mittee has done to the county fair board.
Witness what our Republican committee,
if some reports are true, is about to do
to hamstring the Young Republicans.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 8.-Movie-
town turned out expectantly for the
preview of March of Times first
feature length picture, THE Ram
part We Watch" and went away
puzzled. There is general agreement
that it is important, praiseworthy
and interesting, but that it isn't
entertainment. 1t is thought-pro-
voklng. vet somewhat vague in pur-
pose. As preparedness propaganda,
it falls short of its point. Unmistak-
ably it is a prophecy that we are
going to war again.
The Ramparts We Watch deals
with the years from the World
Wars beginning to Versailles in the
perspective of a small American
city and its people. Threaded
lgh a lot of newsreel clips is
a specially prepared story showing
the changes in group of average,
individual lives. You see and hear
the growing restlessness. the base
less suspicion and ostracism of gen.
tie people, cautioning voices, paci-
fist arguments, hot-headed young
sters, mounting indignation, even
tual unity of thought and action.
There are striking parallels with
events and opinion today.

IS THE THIRD TERM,
UNPRECEDENTED"
EDITOR, THE POST-PRESS:

One of the items of discussion through
out the country during the past year, es-
pecally, and now that Roosevelt has fin
ally accepted the nomination for reelec-
ton, is the third term. And while | am
neither Roosevelt nor a Willkie support
er, | would call this red herring drawn
across the trail to mislead the mlsled
voter.
1t seems that the most voiced reason
against a third term for any president
is that it is unprecedented" The salient
fact of this ambiguous term "unprece-
dented' is that third term for a presl-
dent OF the United States is not unprece-
dented. Andrew Jackson was ELECTED
three times. Theodore Roosevelt ran for
a third term. Calvin Coolidge gambled
for third nomination.
Andrew Jackson won the election of
1924 by a good plurality but lacked a
ajority of the votes. The contest was
thrown into the House of Representa-
tives, who decide such cases, where the
two other leading candidates, John Quin-
cy Adams and Crawford, and Henry
Clay made the deal that gave the cleo
ton to Adams, who in turn made Mr..
Clay and Mr. Crawford important mem
bers of his Official family. Andy Jackson
properly got his ire up at this undemO-
cratic procedure and carried the case
to the people for the whole four years
between that time and the next election
i'm 1928. We all know the outcome of
that election. The people would not leave
the final decision to conniving polite
ians. 1882 was duplication.
When Theodore Roosevelt ran for his
third term in 1912 he had bolted the
Republican party. That is, they had re-
fused to draft him-which was natural
with Taft in control of the machinery
that is necessary to secure nomination
and a short while later set up the Pro
gressive party. Teddy beat Taft terri
bly,, receiving eleven times as many cleo
toral votes.
People opposing Roosevelt should put
his administration-an party-on trial;
they did not, indeed cannot, produce.
But neither did, nor can, the so-called
Republicans Through four years of Hoov-
er an eight years of Roosevelt, we, the
richest nation on earth, have led the
whole world in unemployment. No, there
is no essential difference between the
two parties. This nation today is, except
ing a very few states, a one party ma
ton.
Some ask well, who you gonna vote
for then? You only got two to choose
from" To such deluded casters of bal
lots l say, Look at the names on the
ballot when you vote. If you do not find
one there you know enough about to vote
for, write in name of someone you
think enough of" ;. Then it is, "Well,
he wouldn't have chance" -. You see,
these people are still at that stage where
they must get on the wagon; pick a win
ner. They have no convictions; they could
not have courage.
