 Hecause some newppnpeFznen have epotllghted subversive groups wttt- out fear or favor, and 8ilouted about the dangers to this country, certain people called them warmongers and other names. We think tho best answer to that is Joseph Pulitzer's: we are Q democracy, and there iS only one way to get Q democracy on It's feet i1 the matter in the Hlaat- ter of its individual and national conduct, and that is by keeping the public informed about what is going on. There is not Q crime, Q sWindle, q vice which does not live by secrecy. Get these things out in the open, describe them, attack them, ridi- Cule them in the press, and sooner or later public opinion will sweep them away. Publicity may not be the only thing that is needed, but it is the one thing without which all the other agenucies will fall"

BY FRANK MORRIS
Times stan Correspondent

GRAND RAPIDS. Feb. 81
Delegates to the Republican state
convention today found their one
time stage manager, National
Committeeman Frank d. Mckay,
at work in his office. disclaiming
any attempt to control the nomi-
nations to be made here tomorrow.
Tanned from many weeks in
Florida, Mckay said that business
and grand jury chores have forced
him to forego politics for the
present.
al will be at the PantIind
Hotel tonight when the dele
gates discuss plans for the con-
vention," the indicted national
committeeman said.
But 1 will be there only to
greet old friends. / am taxing

Major concern of the Republican
leaders is the nomination for
state highway commissioner. Be-
cause no ring-master has come
forward. the outcome is a gamble
that only the balloting tomorrow
will decide.

ton from his barber.
This was divulged when bills
prohibiting Sunday hunting in
Ingham, Gratiot, Clinton and
Ottawa counties came up in the
Senate for consideration. Re-
publicans were having their usual
debates on the bills merit when
up sprang Burns. a Democrat.
II was getting shaved this
morning." Burns began. when
my barber says to me, he says,
There's a bill coming up today
which you'll have to vote on
''He had his razor in his hand
while this was going When
he got around my throat, scrap
ing away, he told me that he
worked six days q week and
liked to go hunting on Sunday.
81 asked him how / should
vote on the bill. and he says
I'd better vote no. Now I ask
you, what could do? I'm
against the bill"
Senator J. T. Hammond (R) of
Benton Harbor submitted an
amendment which not only would
prohibit Sunday hunting but would
prohibit residents of those coun-
ties from hunting elsewhere.
After heated debate, all four
bills were put over until next

y. B Steinbauqh
Heads JobIess
Commission

LANSING, Feb. 27.-Democratic
jobseekers today looked hungrily
toward the unemployment COM
pensation commission as result
of the appointment of Varnum B.
Steinbaugh as director OF the
department.
But the new director held out
little hope for a job harvest, mas
much as the commission is con-
trolled by rigid federal and state
civil service rules The depart
ment has more than 1900 en-
ployes.
One of the most popular and
powerful figures in the Van Wag-
oner group, Steinbaugh reluctantly
accepted the job at the insistence
of the governor. In doing so. he
is returning to state service after
a successful interval as a consult
ing engineer in Detroit.
CAMPAIGN sTRATEGIST
The 43-year-old engineer has
been closer to Governor Van Wag-
oner than any friend other than
Highway Commissioner G. Donald
Kennedy. He was a ranking
strategist in the 1910 campaign.
and since the election has been an
adviser on patronage matters. 1t
is doubtful whether Van Wagner
has made a single appointment
without STEMS" approval.
A resident of Pontiac. and a
graduate of the University of
Michigan engineering college,
Steinbaugh came to Lansing first
when Van Wagner became high
way commissioner in 1923. He
began as a road engineer. ad-
vanced to deputy commissioner
and then became chief consultant.
BUILT BLUE WATER SPAN
"Stein," as he Is known in
Lansing. was in charge of con-
struction of the Blue Water Bridge
and, as a result of his work on
that project was called TO Ottawa
and Toronto to advise the Cana
dian government bridge prof.
ects across the boundary.
He is a former president of the
Michigan Engineering Society.
AS director of unemployment
compensation, Steinbaugh succeeds
John c. Townsend. an appointee Of
the late Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald.
His salary will be $500.
His first dity will be-tn-rppre=
sent Michigan in Washington at
social security conference relative
to defense problems.
