AIR DEFENSE

fA4xS OEhR E&N6G
The seriousness with which the
Army Air Corps regards the threat
Of air attacks against the United
States is seen in the private adj
vices they gave an official who
came to Washington to discuss
new airport at Los Angeles.
1t had been planned to- make
the airport comparable in size to
LaGuardia field in New York, but
Air Corps officials were definitely
negative. They said that no mill
tary purpose is served by a large
airport, but rather that it becomes
hazard in defense operations be-
cause it is an easy target for
bombing. Look what happened to
the airports and airdromes Of
France"
Air Corps advisers said future U.
S. airports should include under
ground hangers, and runways
made of criss-crossed open-work
paving, rather than solid paving.
Purpose is to allow grass to grow
In the open spaces OF the crlSS-
cross, and thus prevent photo
graphing from the air.
CAPITAL GROUNDS
Keeping the lawns of the Capt.
tol grounds moist in these drouth
days are no less than $3.50 sprink-
lers Gardeners are spread
ing sedge peat over the lawns to
improve growth Of grass. This
operation requires 173 tons Of the
fertilizer, a Michigan product from
Michigan Just to keep the
grass fresh, new grass Is planted
every year. Approximate annual
planting is $500 pounds of italian
rye and 800 0pounds of Kentucky

MORAL DEFENSE VITAL TODAY
ALL AMERICANS SHOULD
LAY ASIDE DIFFERENCES
New York, N. Y.
July 81, 1910.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
President Roosevelt has asked Con-
guess for fourteen billions of dollars
for the military and naval defense
of these United States, the greater
port of which has already been
appropriated by Congress. Leaders
in our national life have inveighed
against the great danger of unpre-
paredness at a time when "prepar-
ednes" should be our byword and
our watchword, but nowhere in the
public prints have I recognized q
hue and cry :. an emotional ex-
preston of even mild character
touching upon the gravity, the need,
the necessity of building the moral
defenses of the Country.
We have learned from events
abroad that preparation of hearts
and minds in unity to defend the
spiritual ends of democracy Is as
essential as military armament. Re-
peatedly, dictatorship has demon
strated that a great military ma
chine may be rendered impotent If
the moral unity Of the people be-
hind that machine Is destroyed.
Culturally, racially and religiously.
we may be as divided as the fingers
Of a hand, but as Americans we
must be as united as clenched fist.
ready to exert the united strength
Of all In our determination to pre-
serve, for fture generations, our
system and way Of life based upon
the dignity Of the human soul. Gov
ernments cannot create q state Of
mind by legislative mandate or de-
cree. We, as q people, must rededi-
cate ourselves and reconsecrate our
slves TO q great cause which involves
the preservation Of human dignity.
We In the United States have Just
cause TO be alarmed By developments

short e time. the liberal democratic

them as citizens If we are to be
truly united.
One who endeavors to defame any
group Of our citizenry, who attempts
to cast suspicion upon the honoi
or honesty or patriotic devotion OF
the members of such group or I'M
plies that any group is superior or
inferior to any other group, whether
such groupings are based upon race
creed or origin, Is not only traitor
GUS to our American institutions, but
is interfering with the effective mo-
bilization Of our people into united
front prepared to defend our Am
erican institutions from attack not
only from without, but also from
within our borders.
Yours sincerely.

KNUDSEN KNOWS
Those ultra-secret powwows of
the National Defense Commission
are not always confined to weighty
problems of rearmament. Some
times The discussion has to do
with self-defense.
One scorching afternoon recent
ly, the Commission was deliberat-
ing a production matter in the
auto industry when Sidney Hill
man, labor member of fthe agency
remarked that he was troubled
with a personal problem in the
industry. He said he had been
invited to address the CLIO Auto
Workers convention in st. Louis,
but was hesitant about doing so.
II want very much to co."
said Hillman, "but / don't want
to do anything that might i'm
pair my effectiveness on the
Commission in working with the
AL and CLIO. I'm neutral now
and I don't want to change that
status"
Hillman's dilemma brought a.
hearty chuckle from giant william
Knudsen, production wizard of the
Commission.
tits certainly tough on you,
Sydney" said the former Gen.
eraI Motors president, "but
I know just how you feel. The
Auto Workers had me on a spot
in 1887 during their sitdown
strike. That was a pretty hot
spot and it wasn't any more fun
than the one you are up against"

generally.
A full-dress public hearing into
this tangled situation has been Or
dered by the SEC, and in the ordi-
nary course Of things would be due
to get started in a little more than
a fortnight. Edward G. johnson Of
the SEC staff has been named trial
examiner; likely schedule Is for a
week or 10 days of hearings in
Washington, followed by transfer to
st. Louis.
FORMER OFFICIAL
INDICTED
Two things, however, may inter-
fere with this schedule.
First is the recent conviction Of
Frank ]. Boehm, former executive
vice-president of Union Electric, on
charge of perjury in the federal
court at st. Louis. Boehm's counsel
has announced that he will file a
motion for a new trial; until that
motion has been disposed of finally,
SEC cannot proceed with its hear
ings.
Second is the chance the Depart
ment of Justice may step in and
take the whole case out of SECS
hands. SECS inquiry is technically
an attempt to learn whether Union
Electric violated Section 12-H Of the
holding company act, which prohib-
its political contributions; the De-
partment of Justice has been keep
ing an eye on things so far, and
might conceivably order grand
jury investigation looking toward
criminal prosecutions.
HOLDING COMPANY
TO BE PROBED
Real interest of the whole affair
lies in its political implications.
Union Electric is subsidiary Of
North American, top holding COM
pany. When the scandal first broke,
North American moved to clean
house, and a new management was
put in the subsidiary. Nevertheless,
the exact relations between Union
Electric and North American are
likely to be gone into pretty thor
oughly if and when the SEC hear
ing swings into high.
Which means the whole case
could easily become a full-dress
public discussion of the alleged evils
in a utility holding company set-up.
If SEC could prove Union Elec-
trio did in fact use slush fund to
influence politicians and public Of
ficials, and did it with the parent
company's knowledge, that would
be ammunition for a new attack on
the holding company arrangement;
conversely, if it should be proved
North American knew nothing about
any transgressions which might be
pinned on Union Electric, it could
then be argued that the holding
company system is bad because it
leads to responsibility and lack of
control.
MAY POUNCE
ON UTILITY ISSUE
The Democrats have already indi-
Gated they are going to stress the
holding company public utility an
gle in their attack on Wendell Will
kie. Willkie, of course, has had
nothing whatever to do with either
Union Electric or North American;
nevertheless, if SEC should find it
self airing a horrible example"
just as the campaign got moving,
Democratic sharp shooters could be
depended on to make full use of 1t.

The Democratic Party is presently
engaged in a campaign within itself. Var
ious members are showing their party
loyalty, as they proclaim it, by walking
out on the candidates for president and
vice-president. They are announcing
their support of the Republican candi-
dates for president and vice-president
They have the right TO do this and no
one can blame them for so doing. But
we never believed that q man could be
entirely honest about this business of
taking walk.

Selected Poem
TODAY

Virginia Shortridge in the New Haven
Journal Courier
Today there are so many
Whyfores and where's,
They quite resemble
The climbing Of the stairs!
But when at the top,
1t seems to be
The blue, blue sky
Is no nearer to me.
Our minds get clouded-
We lose our way
In the intricate problems
OF this-our day,
If someone only
Could get the end
OF this middling maze,
He'd be a friend.
The garden maze,
Seems dense, you sec,
But it solves itself
Under an apple tree.
But, oh, for a tree
To shelter the mind.
And stop this welter
OF human kind.
