strumental in sending to prison two
farmers who took part in the farm
protests during the latter part of Her
bert Hoover's administration. Most of
his flights" and "crusades" have been
of that kind.
Listeners on the Town Hall of the
Air last week were treated to the
spectacle of a man knocking himself
out-a very rare prize-ring occurrence.
Under questioning of the audience,
Marshall completely lost his head, and
threw childish challenges to fight

here" He would do well to ponder
over that ancient Greek proverb which
says, when the gods would destroy
they first make mad"

Recommendation of President Roose-
welt in his budget message to congress
that appropriations for rivers and har-
bors and flood-control works be re-
duced wasn't sweet music to the ears
on many members of congress. AL
though many of these projects are
worth while, a large share is what is
known as pork barrel legislation
