To Ban Knockout Drues

TT is difficult understand the reluctance of the Mchi
gan House of Representatives to pass bill regulating
the sale of socaed knockout" drugs which have been
the medium for robberes and murders Wayne County
Of all bills relating to crime, this is of
the most important now before the Legislature
1t would require prescription from physician
before druggists could sell any of the three posons
used in underworld dives render customers unconscious
1t would require physicians to keep record of all such
prescriptions including the and addresses of per-
sons for whom any one of the three drugs is prescribed
THE measure has the support of all law enforcement
i agencies, including the state crime commission.
In view of the fact that Detroit police recently
investigating so separate robberes and two murders
sung from Knockout drops it is hard to believe the
Legislature intends to XIII this bill.

week but returned committee the request of Rep

that time that the action meant the death of his proposed

An Oil Man Con+emp|a+es
Autos Powered by Radio
BY DAMON RUNYON

MIR. CHARLES B. WRIGHTS-
AV1 MAN was telling us the
other evening that he has often
thought of the possibility of a
method being discovered OF
operating automobiles something
on the principle of the radio.
You would just step in your
car, press a button and turn on
the motive power that would
come. not from any fuel in the
car, but from central station,
the same as the slightly de-
pressing non-ASCAP music you
are now getting on the air
comes from NBC or Columbia
or some other station. The
thing might also apply to air
planes and railroad trains.
Mr. Wrightsman FASTENED to
add that he does not anticipate
any such discovery in the i'm
mediate future. In fact, he
rather gave us the impression
that he hopes it does not hap
pen while he is engaged in his
present business. The discovery
might offer some competition TO
him. Mr.. Wrightsman is presi-
dent of Standard Oil of Kansas.
He makes his home in HouS-
ton, Tex. and has a Texas Ii
cense on his automobile. He is
of medium height. has grayiSh
hair which he parts in the mid
die and Smooths down on both
sides.
He has the tiniest of gray
moustaches-a mere wiSp. The
ladies perhaps call Mr.. WrightS-
man handsome. He is well
groomed and has most en-
gaging smile and personality.
We Judge him in the late forties.
He was an officer in the avia-
ton corps of the army in the

Travelled more by air than Mrs.
Roosevelt. He is frequently
called upon by his business to
move far and fast and he al
ways has two private planes,
one a big eight-seater, where he
can get them without delay.
He employs one of the crack
pilots of the land. He is col
legion-Harvard we believe
and has been in the oil business
for years. He made one fortune,
went broke. then made another.
He has great renown in polo
circles through his team called
the Texas Rangers. He is a fine
player himself and owns some of
the best polo ponies in the
world.
He recently shipped them TO
Mexico at the invitation of the
new president down there TO his
team, then found he could not
make the trip because he has a
suit against the government that
comes up presently. This is a
variation of the familiar formula
of the government doing the
suing.
In 1888, Mr.. Wrightsman took
his team to England where it
won several tournaments. He
had Cecil Smith. Eric Tyrell-
Martin and Aidan Roark play
ing with him.
These are names to conjure
with in polo. But polo is long

those guilty of pulling those
strikes love democracy and the

IT is puzzling to many who are
L immune from the So-called
war hysteria why there is such
apprehension in this country
that if England loses. the Day of
Doom will have arrived.
However the war terminates.
it will leave the large cities and
Seaports of Great Britain in
ruins. most of her shipping sunk
and millions of her brave and
deluded citizens ill-clad. i'll
housed; for even now. according
to her leading statesmen, the
British Empire is bankrupt.
If the NaZis are victors, the
future relations between the
United States and Europe will be
guided largely by two men
Roosevelt and Hitler.
And it is surprising how much
alike these renowned rulers are
in ideals, detectives and ambi-
tons. and the evident respect
each has for the other.
1t is not beyond the realm Of
possibility that we may some
day read headlines in our news
papers TO the effect that Joseph
Stain and Adolph Hitler accom-
panied by Benito Mussolini. are
cordially received in Washington
by President Roosevelt, for an
important conference on the gen.
eral state of the world and what
is to be done about it.
Proving that our great and
genial Chief Executive can make
good neighbors of the European
leaders as well as those of Latin

~ into tune with the public mind on this grave issue.
1t is interesting in this connection the pro-
gressive stages of Mr.. Roosevelts thinking.
Until very recently he has believed at least
nesy hoped that labor controversy would not seriously
obstruct the national defense program.
At press conference January "a he said he thought
that delays the defense program caused by strikes had
been small and that the general defense production pic
ture encouraging" despite the strikes then in prog
in plants manufacturing defense materials.
And late March 4, at another press conference,
the President still oah admit the seriousness of
the labor situation the following paragraph from
Associated Press report of the conference attests:
asked whether he thought there any for
in the labor situation defense projects Mr.
Roosevelt replied by asserting that approximately
quarter of per cent, hundredth, of defense
projects were affected by strikes"
I HOWEVER, the President recognizes that nation
confronted with the necessity of making its defenses
adequate cannot permit labor controversy to defeat that
effort, and has intention of doing
The President himself evidently has intention of
permitting interruption of the defense program to be
weapon of labor groups which might otherwise and much
reasonably and effectively and periodically gain
their ends
The American people a whole making great
sacrifices to the defense program
Almost million have already sacrificed civilian
status the armed forces many of them giving
army offers
In such situation it is unreasonable and in fact i'm
possible that organized labor alone of all the elements of
our population, should be immune from sacrifice.
THIS should not mean and of does not mean
that labor should give up any legitimate rights or
permanently abandon any of its proper principles or
detectives.
But it does most certainly mean that controversy
between rival and strikes against employers which
the effect of being strikes against the welfare and
safety of the whole nation must be adudcaed by other
Mediation is the right and inevitable answer to this
problem.
1t is apparently recognized by the President as SUCH
1t is demanded by the American people.
1t should be accepted and approved by American
labor, which has had its fundamental patriotism
questioned or doubted
Our whole effort is required for meeting the present
and potential perls which confront the United States
should happily through this emergency without
war; and should in the meantime have learned to establish
relationships between workers and industry on
cooperative and harmonious basis the experience itself
will have had value far outweighing the unavoidable
sacrifices.
