GRILL BLAST
BEING PROBED
Detectives Sc eking To
Connect Explosion With
Gambling Rackets

| CHARLOTTE, Dec. 4. -(Pl-
Charlotte detectives worked to-
day to determine if there was any
connection between the city's
gambling rackets and the explo.
sion last night which wrecked
a downtown grill, killed one man,
and injured two other persons.
They reported it was not ap'
parant whether the blast was in
tended to kill Oliver P. Kerr,
who died instantly, or whether
Kerr merely chanced to be the
victim of an explosion designed
to wreck the grill, operated by
Jake Thomas as under the name
of the Rendezvous at 315 South
Church street.
The possible gambling angle
was explored after police said
Kerr had opened up numbers
racket a little more than two
weeks ago. His wife, Mrs. Evelyn
Kerr, %, who was injured, was
reported by detective Homer
Gardner to have given him a
written statement confirming this
occupation of her husband.
Mrs. Kerr was quoted by Of
ficers as saying her husband re-
ceived a telephone call from some
unidentified person shortly be-
fore they went to the grill.
Whether this call was responsible
for his decision to 60 to that par
ticular eating place she did not
know.
Julian Fowler, identified by
police as one-time associate OF
Kerr, was among the many per-
sons questioned today. Police
| Chief Frank N. Littlejohn said
Fowler was not held in connec-
ton with the explosion but was
detained because Of "dlscrepan-
cies" in his statement.
Fred Aver, the third person IN
iured in the explosion which
shook up nearly a score OF custo-
mers in the eating place, was dis
charged from the hospital last
night Mrs. Kerr continued under
treatment today.
Property damage was placed at
$4,000.

READERS DIGEST ON THE PAN

wool over the eyes of labor, the
digest last year paid for large
advertisements in So union
newspapers, most of them con-
nected with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in which it
attempted to paint picture of
the Readers Digest as a de-
fender and spokesman of labor.
The Pennsylvania L b or
News, of Harrisburg, Pa, ac-
copied the ad but it also ran
front page story in which it
explained that it felt obliged
to point out that the Readers
Digest does not carry the union
label insuring that it is printed
under satisfactory working
conditions. and that the Read
er's Digest has persistently
printed viciously misleading
truths about labor unions
and the labor union move
ment."
These are the facts on the
Readers Digest, which is prob
ably the most dangerous single
enemy of progress in America,
because it is also the magazine
with the greatest circulation.
This is the last in a series
of articles about the Readers
Digest. disclosing its pro-fas-
cisf character.

MAGAZINE, the CLIO News. the
National Council of Teachers
of English. and the New York
conference of the American Ed
ucaiion fellowship have also
criticized various dangerous as
poets of the Readers Digest.
But not everyone is hostile
to the Readers Digest. The di-
gest, for example, recently ac-
copied an award for Howard
Kiroack, a veteran of pro-fas-
cist activities who has worked
with some of the most notori-
Gus anti-SemiteS. The award,
from Kiroack's front outfit, the
"Laymen's National Commit
tee" was ostensibly presented
because of the digest's dis
tinguished service" to religion.
LABOR has not been fooled
by the Readers Digest's pre-
tense at fairness. Labor" the
official organ of the railroad
brotherhoods, has warned:
The Readers Digest is prob
ably the most dangerous prop
uganda agency in this country
-. IT wishes TO tighten the
grip of the reactionaries on
America-politically and eco
nomically."

Bv BILL ALEXANDER

The editors OF the Readers
Digest probably feel a strange
kind of distorted pride in the
diversity of their critics.
The magazine has been de-
nounced as dangerous, lying,
anti-Semitic, anti-Negro, anti
labor, and pro-fascist by some
of the most distinguished or
CARNATIONS and individuals in
America, including many very
conservative organs.
But none of the criticism
seems to make a dent on the
Readers Digest. The editors
are only panied by the criti-
cism when it hits their pocket
books.
BECAUSE of its highly SEN
sationa1, misleading, and dam
gerous articles on medical
subjects, the Readers Digest
has been attacked by the Jour
nal of the American Medical
Association, the Archives of In
ternal Medicine, and the Amer
lean Trudeau Society medical
branch of the National Tuber-
culosis Society.

lions, children see and hear more
than they should. 1t leads to i'm
morality in many cases. The over
crowding also leads to divorce and
breakup of the family, which in
turn leads to juvenile delin-
quency."
Robert E. Cantwell, eminent di-
vorce attorney and chairman of
the Bar Associations Matrimonial
Law Committee, pointed out that
mother in law trouble accounted
for 35 per cent of Chicago divorc-
es. when families double up" he
said, ''in-law trouble results. Ac-
tually housing is responsible in
many of these divorces"
Superior Judge Edwin A. Rob-
son asserted his belief that di-
vorce, broken homes, leads to jul
venile delinquency. Robson said:
-"Of the hundreds of cases in
Juvenile Court, 80 per cent are
children of broken homes"
AND AS Chicago's specialists
talked, it became increasingly ap-
parent that housing is connected
with divorces, juvenile delin-
quency is connected with divorces
and housing, immortality is con-
nected with housing, divorces
and juvenile delinquency. Mental
breakdown is the final arc in the
vicious circle. They are all con-
nected; they cannot be separated.
And the real estate trusts are
responsible because they have
barred the way to adequate low
rent housing.
The real estate trusts-pillars OF
'the American way of life"-are

PostaI Raies
 Going Up

WASHINGTON, May 19.-R- The House Post Office Committee today approved legislation increas- ing postal rates to provide an esi- mated $110,000,000 additional re- venue annually.
 The committee voted to raise the air mail rate from five cents to six cents an ounce and recommended increasing rates for second-class mail-newspapers and periodicals if the papers are mailed beyond the country of publication.
 Rees said the latter increases are based on zones and on advertlslng content in addition to a boost of half cent a pound on the reading portion of the publications.
 Besides the increase in the air mail letter rate, the committee re- commended establishment of an air-mail postcard which may be mailed for four cents.
 The committee rejected a Post office Department suggestion to double the present one-cent rate on postcards, retained existing rates on newspapers and periodicals sent through the mail in the country of publication, and continued the pre- sent first~class mailing rate of three cents for letters.

LIONS HEAR F0LTA ON STATEHOOD ISSUE ATLUNCHE0N TODAY

At today's Lions Club luncheon guest speaker Judge George Folta expressed his view that Southeast Alaska should apply for statehood separately He gave as one reason for this view the fact that existant disposition of Federal funds, parti- cularly for roads would continue under statehood for Alaska as whole, with this section benefiting very little from such disposition. The Interior already far surpasses Southeastern in road development, he said, with their highway con- nections with the States, while this part of the Territory is isolated with no connecting highway.
 There also exists the threat of removing the capitol to a more central location should Alaska gain statehood. This of course would mean the loss of many Federal agencies located here, he concluded.
 During the luncheon Buddy Hun- ter and his orchestra composed of Dale Rolf, Doug Gregg and Jerry Chapman entertained with soft swing music.
 Virgil Heath of Seward, former Juneau resident, was a guest at the meeting.
 Nomination of officers for the coming year were made and the election will take place next week.
