Safety Menace (Scorcher)
Object Of FBI Frown
BY DAMON RUNYON

WE ARE pleased to note that
W the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, our government
agency for the abatement of
crime, is taking cognizance- of
the new menace TO public safety
known as the "Scorcher."
A "scorcher" is a guy on a
bicycle riding rampant through
the city streets at frightful
speed, jeopardizing the we'll
being of one and ALL
OF course a "scorcher' may
be a dame, too, and this type
is even more reckless than the
male in disregarding the laws
of pace and the rights of other
humans. as we will show YOU
by citing an incident that took
place the other evening an
Broadway.
The exact locale was that
stretch of sidewalk on the east
side of the main drag between
Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets,
known as Losers Lane.
IT IS w here many Of our
prominent wrong bettors re-
lax after their evening herring
in Lindy's.
Well, quite a number of these
citizens were Strolling up and
down along Losers Lane on the
evening in question discussing
grave problems, including the
racing entries for the next day,
and making Louis | TO 2 over
Nova and the Yanks 9 to 10
over anybody IN the World
Series.
Out of nowhere hurting
along at a dizzy gait. came
desperate female character aged
about 10, aboard a bicycle, her
hair flying in the wind, her
knobby knees bobbing furiously
as she called on her iron steed
for more and more speed.
NO HORN warned of her COM
~ ing. No bell or whistle
sounded the alarm, no cry
"gangway" or make room for
players, which would have
been understood by the boys.
The first they knew of the APP
proach of this demon on wheels

selves being Knocked wrong
end-to. Four citizens we're
bumped off into the gutter.
Two were propelled into the
entrance of the Rivoli T'hcater,
which was a good break for
them. at that, as they we're
thrown past the ticket taker, so
they went on inside and saw

A peal Of girlish laughter
foated back over the scene of

"scorchcr" continued on up
Broadway with pedestrians
fleeing before her as from the
wrath TO come.
We only hope she reads this
and learns Of the tragedy she
left in her wake, as one of the
citizens who fell under the
wheels of her iuggernaut was n
horse player named Clancy and
in the confusion he lost his fig
urcs on the morrow's races. and
never found \them.
Hence. he had 10 bet on tho
races without the guidance Of
his statistics and had nothing
but losers. though he is sure his
lost figures showed only win
nings.

TO TIE EDITOR:
II ONE of the columns of The
L Detroit Times l read that a
certain individual proposed that
the Constitution should he
amended whereby American cit
izcnS be divided into two classes:
Class A. American born citizens,
and Class h, citizens Of foreign
birth.
By this amendment Class 3
citizens could not hold govern
ment Office. A person born in a
different country, although nat
urallZed. has at heart the coun-
Try of his birth.
Naturally he could not be
entrusted with q government
office. because his loyalty to the
United States is doubtful.
The strongest weapon against
this danger is loyalty and ma
tional unity. A citizen of foreign
birth can not be depended upon
for 100 per cent cooperation
and loyalty when holding a gov
eminent job.
This proposed amendment is
logical and has truth IN it
theoretically, but practically it
isn't so and would not bring the
desired result. This amendment
is aimed to insure loyalty TO this
country and its people by BAN
ming from government Office the
unpatriotic people
But who is going to stop
citizens of Glass A like Senator
Wheeler. Colonel LindberGh and
others from working against the
government openly?

i Mr.. Pegler stated that our
President in his Labor Day adj
dress pretended 10 he utterly
unaware of the oppression and
robbery OF the workers and the
cancellation of their rights, set
forth in the Wagner Act"
II is clear that Mr.. Pcgler has
given little study 10 the various
provisions Of the Wagner Act.
or else he would grasp the fact
that they give an organized
worker a monopoly on his Job
and that being shook down for
tribute by union bosses Is not
too great a price TO pay for job
monopoly.
If Mr.. Pegler wishes TO cham
pion the cause OF those workers
who have really been betrayed
BY their political leaders. | Sug-
eest that he call the attention
of his readers 10 an un-American
feature of the Wagner Act.
The Wagner Act does not pro-
tect organized workers from be-
ing exploited by ruthless pinch
penny employers.
The real objective OF the WaG-
ner Act is to protect organized
workers from the competition OF
unorganized workers that great
