which bind two people unto each
other before God and Man. Only
the sanctuary of the home or the

appropriate setting for so sacred
a service"

One evening recently, Lee raised the
choler of the spectators by his cavalier
treatment of a pleasant, clean cut
young man named Dave Levin. His
favorite piece of infamy was rubbing
his taped hand across Levin's face
or, at least, appear to. Finally, driven
by the screams of the infuriated mob,
Lee ripped off the tape. Like Samson
shorn of his hair, Lee, once divested of
his magic tape. seemed to be easy
meat for his smaller opponent. Even
his defeat failed to mollify the crowd.
On his way back to the dressing room
he passed little girl. about IL and

him:

RAISING Is the Age-OId Theme
OF Virtue Triumphant Over Evil
By STANLEY BATE

self, but "rassling," for better or
worse, goes on apace.
Each Wednesday night, worshipers
of theater in IT'S more violent form
gather at Turner's Arena to witness
the re-enactment of the age-old theme
that virtue will triumph and the
forces of evil get what is coming to
them
In wrestling, as in horse operas and
comic strips, the hero-villain theme
never varies. The white knight sur
mounts all sorts of chicanery and
physical indignity to grind his dia-
bolical foe into the dust. The script
always calls for the good guy" to beat
the bad guy" No matter how many
times he sees it, the true follower of
wrestling never tires of it. There are,
of course, varying degrees of villainy
among the performers, and some, with
more Imagination than others, think
up rascality over and above the usual
eye-gouging, kneeing, kicking, hair
pulling, choking and biting.
A mean. nasty, sneering villain is
worth his weight in gold to a pro-
moter People will come to see re-
prisal visited on the Evil One, to see
him squirm and moan in anguish as
the cleancut hero applies pressure to
a toe-hold, an arm-lock or scissors.
Here is being enacted before them the
scriptural struggle of good versus bad.
To these serious followers of wrest-
ling, it Is an emotional drama, COM
bining all the elements of Hamlet"
and Uncle Toms Cabin" Old
timers hereaboutS recall we'll the
woman who used to charge down the
aisle, irately brandishing an umbrella
at some unpleasant-looking fellow
who was abusing her hero in the ring.
It was, perhaps, this same woman
who once handed up handkerchief
to her hero in the mistaken notion
that this worthy. cropping blindly
around the ring and clutching at his
eyes, had had red pepper flung in his
face by the INSCRIPTIONS enemy. She
had been sitting too far from ring
side to realize that it was all an act.
Or If she did realize it, was too far
gone in her hatred to admit it.
The old-time rowdies were masters
Of unprincipled hooliganism-or what
appeared to be. There are some who
will recall how "Bool" Martin pulled
up a ring post and chased Joe Turner
out Of the ring one night at the Gay
ETY. Theater. up into the galleries and
back down again to the ring where
they finished it off. They may re-
member the rascality employed by
such ostensibly vicious citizens as the
Zbysko brothers, Stranger Lewis,
Tommy Marvin, Canadian Jack Tay-
lor, Hans Steinke and, of course, the
Dusek boys. More or less on the hero
side were such as Ray Steele, Jim Nc
MILAN, Sander Szabo, Dick Shikat,
Mike Romano, and Jim Londos, al
though it was not at all unusual for
the hero one week to play the villain
the next. 1t all depended on whether
he was wrestling greater hero. Then
there were the freaks" like contor-
zionist Fritz Kley, long-armed Leo
Pinetzky, neckless Ferenc Holuban
and bearded Serge Kalmikoff They
were usually villains.

$ Start a War Against Unemployment and Insecure

Once more, this nation is being rescued from
fear of unemployment and depression BY the
threat of war. February's sharp drop in com
modify markets sent a SILVER through many Of US,
who suddenly feared for our jobs.
Temporarily, President Truman's call for great
er defense production has allayed these fears.
But the forces which bring about unemployment
and depressions are still with us. War may put
off the consequences of those forces, it will not
alter them.
We who believe in the inevitable supremacy
of democracy, have faith in the ability and the will
of Americans to help themselves. We do not be
lieve that war or depression represent the only
choices in a democracy.
We have proven beyond question our ability
as a nation to produce the quantity and quality Of
goods necessary to WIN a war or to provide for an
era of abundance. SO far we have not solved the
problem of selling our peacetime production. Few
will deny that the weakness of our economy grows
out of the obvious Redistribution of wealth which
results in the destruction Of the all-important
mass buying power-either through unemploy-
ment or high prices.

the second session, ] would introduce
q tax bill to take care OF the people,
who needed help the most. On Jan

a bill which would raise the exemp-
ton of $1,000 for a single person,
$500 for a married person and a
$500 exemption for each dependent.
This measure. in my opinion, is the
only kind Of an equitable bill which
should have been considered by this
congress because it gives relief to the
low income groups which needed 1t
the most. They are the ones who are
being hit most severely by the present
high cost of living.

to vote against a tax reduction bill
but also realize that | have a re-
sponsibility to the people whom | rep

for them within the scope of my
ability.
The tax bill. which just passed. is
not an equitable tax bill because it
gives too much in the way of relief
to the people in the upper income
brackets. At the present time the
1870 billion dollars asked for by the
President for 1919. has been reduced
approximately 2T with the larger
items Of national defense, internation-
al commitments and the veterans pro
gram yet to be considered and where
little, If any, in the way Of cuts can
be expected.
During the past few years, by sound
fiscal management. the public debt
has been reduced from S2~19,000.00O.
600 to 1858, 00O. 900, 900 and at the pres
ent time requires an interest charge
at the rate of $4,000, 000, 900 a year.
AS an illustration as to how vast
our expenses will be-on April 2nd-
the same day that the tax reduction
went into effect-the senate voted q
$500, 900, 900 annual charge on the fed
eral treasury for federal aid to educa
ton; the senate civil service com
mittee voted for an increase in the
pay of federal employees which will
cost the treasury approximately 81,

will have to consider very seriously
the re-imposition OF taxes to meet the
governments need. This possible re-
imposition Of taxes was admitted to
by both Speaker Martin and Con
gresham Knntsen the day the tax
bill was passed.
There is no validity to the argument
that tax reduction is needed to in
crease industrial production because
that is now at the highest level in
our history and certainly there is no
