the organization thought it had
hired--a homing pigeon or a re-
porter? Was it not possible for a
man to get lost, I wanted to know?
After all, my stuff was signed by
Henry McLemore not by Rand Nc
Nally. Furthermore, If he wanted
me to blaze the shortest trail
across this country, would he please
send me coonskin hat and squir-
rel gun, and I'd try it on the way
back. I thought these were pretty
cute answers, but they were lost on
him. He paid me mileage on trip
that a crow with tricycle. landing

$50 to Pickpocket.
Once, while covering a Derby at
Louisville, I had my pocket picked
for $5O-at least, I figure that's
what must have happened because
there was $50 I couldn't account
for at end of the first days races.
When I turned in my expense ac-

to turn in an expense account.
During my years as newspaper
man I have locked horns and ex.
changed epithets with more inquisi-
tive, pince nez-ed treasurers and
cashiers and-the like than care tc
remember. Just as tip-off on what
kind of guys these are, they are
always kept in cages in newspaper
offices. If turned loose and allowed
to roam freely through the editorial
rooms, the reporters would rend
them limb from limb.
Route Left Unmarked.
Some of my own experiences will
show you how badly newspaper men
need the UNO to sanction a freer
expense account. Some years ago
was sent to California from New
York. I chose to go by car as I was
getting six and half cents mile
and because the treasurer was Sc
busy arguing with another honest
reporter about so cent tip on his
expense account, that he forgot to
mark my road map showing the
shortest route to California. You
wouldn't believe it, but when I got
to the coast and sent in my mileage
that some pernurious treasurer re-
fused to OK it, arguing that had
gone out of my way.

yond medical aid, but he came up
swinging from his attack of apo
plexy.
I explained that If hadn't been
sent to cover the Derby the pick
pocket couldn't have picked my
pocket. "In other words" the
treasurer thundered, well have to
keep you locked up in a vault here
in the Office. We can't afford to
send you out. You'll make a great
name for yourself as an unroving
reported"
This same official was in Office
when bumped into sheep with
my car, some place in Utah. Sheep
had the right of way so the sheep
herder insisted that I pay him.
When my expense account came in

A. Disabled veterans are encour-
aged to do such work as their dis
ability permits. This does not affect
the amount of a pension, as a dis
ability pension is based on the de-
gree of disability as determined by
the Veterans Administration. Such
pension is therefore only subject to
change as the disability itself
changes.

 Taylor was partially-arraigned in Roxbury Court before Judge Miles on Tuesday morning. (The new legal term 'partially-ar- raignedO comes from the fact that the police had to ask for another week in which to seek new evil dence, they said.
 The Scotland Yard of Roxbury Crossing started on their hunt for Taylor shortly after the murder of the 80-year-old woman became known. The hunt covered two main areas: the South End section, and the pages of the newspapers. By Saturday afternoon, when Taylor was cornered but escaped, infam- matory and none-too-correct daily

letter that I must reluctantly ad- dress to you. What wanted most to say is that we, the Negro peo- pie of this nation, the Labor peo- pie, the people of the hundred and one American national, religious and racial minorities, are sincere ly fattered by you, Theodore. We are fattered that the little snakes in the Mississippi grass like you those little worm-like fellows not even in Mississippi - are so afraid of the righteous crushing heel of truth and right that you become hysterical whenever you see us approach. The thought of Negroes ,and of Labor, voting frightens you into wild monomania; you're afraid, Bilbo; you're just plain yellow, and scared.
 You Have No Other Course
 If I had an ounce of feeling in my being, Bilbo, I'd probably pity you. I wouldn't swap places with you for all the money that has come from the share-cropped plan tations your Mississippi bosses have collected since you have been their whipping-b in the Con- gress. I have never in my life been so afraid of anyone, any peo- pie, that I had to call for others to beat, maim, murder them to keep them from doing anything I could do. But you can't say that, Bilbo. No; as the reptilian moe casin, slithering through the
 swamp on it's slimy stomach, is deadliest when it is most afraid, so now has your fear of the Ne gro and white masses in the South piled up in your stony heart that you must openly call for violence If necessary to stop them from voting. abjectly apologize to my self, Bilbo, for not being able to | throw a few crumbs of compas- sion to the smallest thing in the guise. of man that I have ever seen come out of your state, the
 Senator from Mississippi. May your constituents relentlessly hunt you down on election day and un- f1inchingly boot you out of poli- tics,g lying your state the chance that someday it might join the great American commonwealth of states, something it certainly will never be able to do as long as you are permitted to seil it's es- cuteheon with your presence in it's political affairs.
