Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The nations radio editors are fairly unanimous in decrying the constantly acceerating trend toward gve-aways rather than entertainment in radio pro- grammng Indeed most of the executives of the radio industry itself agree, in private that the trend is harmful and radio will wind the worse for it. Few however know where when it will stop
 We don't know how much longer it will go on We thought for moment the end might be in sight when West Virginia couple refused for while to accept cash award because involved much bother from charity seekers, confidence men and others But sooner later the trend will bring its own termina- tion, like self-miting disease
 There now merchandise brokers who will pro- cure goods and articles for radio stations networks to give away They provided this stuff for commission of per cent of the total list cost In other words, station or network has pay only twentieth of the market value of the gve-aways (which explains why most of the munificence is in terms of articles rather than hard caSh).
 As these give-aways multiply ad nauseam. how ever the manufacturers and merchants who provide the wherewthal are likely to begin to wonder what they are getting for their products The scheme is economic from their standpoint only so long there real advertising value in it for them and the more programs there running through long lists of ar- cles the less individual plug means to the company giving the merchandise
 There also is the ultimate possibility that the fre quent use of a product give-away will cheapen it's prestige in the Human nature being what it s people are inclined to question the value of things that given away Or if they are especially hopeful or perhaps we should say gulble, they may refrain from buying products frequently given away thinking that they might get them sometme TOT nothing.
 Sooner or later, predict, these various factors will combine restore entertainment value to radio to replace the present give-away craze.

IMPORTANT QUESTION

AS next months general election hears, the refer endum on the question of the abolshng or the con- tinuation of the fish traps importance every day
 Alaskas only basic industry. the fishing industry is in precarous position, regardless of how the fsf is caught.
 The collapse of this great industry would near the ruin of many Alaskan towns which depend almost entirely upon fishing. Such collapse would have serious repercussions throughout Alaska.
 Some oO0O men and women are employed in all phases of this industry but only half are resident Aaskans because of the seasonal nature of operation Another 40O0 Alaskans are employed in allied ln- dustries or those supported by fishing indirectly.
 Capital investment in the industry is estimated at sloo,OOo,Ooo.
 Since Alaska became full-fledged Territory in 1913 the fishing industry has paid 55 per cent or more than half of the taxes collected the years
 Lately as the pack has grown less, the taxes have dropped slightly from the average. For the last b;ennir of total tax revenues amounting s5 788- 45e the fishing industry paid s2392853 or 4l per cent of the total.
 Approximately one-half of the salmon caught each year are taken through the use of fish traps
 Obviously if the fish trap is eliminated this move will have serious affect upon the industry Millions of dollars invested in traps This investment would be lost Some canneries, especially those utilizing more traps than others. would be forced to close The salmon industry claims that 25 canneries would close
 It is probable that Southeast Alaska especially would be hard hit and it is probably in this area where most of the canneries would close We already have seen the closure of plants brought about by poor seasons.
 When traps abolished in the Puget Sound area blythe State of Washington in 1884, many con- tended that the industry would not suffer But the next lG years showed decline of 60 per cent in productibn, and many canneries closed down. Since then Washington has spent millions in State funds in attempts to rehabiltae this great industry.
 The number of traps in Alaska have gradually declined in the 20 years from 800 traps to AIS at present }Tese traps are controlled by the U S. Fish

Courts-M Martial Reform
(St. Louis Star -Times>

 Reform of the Armv's courts-martia system is now ia reality and the American soldier will get much greater measure of simple justice in his brushes with military law and discipline. The reform needed to wipe out long established offense to the Yankee sense of fair play accomplished by the Selective Service Act.
 Complaints from the ranks during and after the last war acquainted the public with the niqutes of the old system under which enlisted men were tried by officers of their command, many of whom had personal grudges devoid of even meager tolerance for youthful indiscretions or had little knowledge of military law.
 Now enlisted may sit as members Of the fcourt in the trials of other enlisted men. While ths will not entirely eliminate the dominance of command ing officers it should have tendency to temper brass hat high-handedness The provision that the judge advocate and counsel for the defense be professional lawyers from the Judge Advocate Generals depart tment and that the accused shall have the right to prosecution witnesses brings to the some of the safeguards of justice guar anteed in civilian courts.
 The new law goes about as far as is practicable lin giving the soldier quasciyan status before trial courts It was necessary avoid impairng the auth ority of commanding officers to degree that would weaken the iron discipline needed to hold military his personal freedom of thought and action when he puts on the uniform, but before the new law was passed he too frequently compelled to sacrifice many of his elementary rights to fair treatment and common justice.

 Decided not to plant any more corn-Having sat on the banks of the Potomac and watched thous- ards of tons of topsoil wash down from the cornfields of Maryland and Virginia, finally decided to do my part by planting no more corn Despite strip-farming and contour-plowing, both of which we practice diligently, any cornfield, unless on level ground, is. bound to wash away the most priceless gift nature gave us-our topsoil. So, from now on, we are filling our silo with alfalfa. The farm CTS of Iowa, where the ground is flat, can supply the nation with corn
 Met gradually disappearing species-the country doctor. Young Dr. Garrett Hume got out of the Army and decided he wanted to help his fellow men by practicing where doctors were scarce, hung out his shingle at Georgetown, Del, and has been answering calls on an l8-hour schedule ever since. So, in an age when more doctors graviate to the city and special ized medicine, here's hats off to the country doctors, like Garrett Hume, who stay out where dis tances are long, where fees are low and where people need them most.
 PIGS GET LOOSE
 Most of the above were enjoyed during the first part of my va cation-before the pigs got loose. I might note in passing something obvious to most lady readers-that this 1stay-at-home vacation didn't go down too well with Mrs. F.

around, however, I just didn't get on the ship. I didn't get on that ship, nor the next ship; in fact, I didn't go at all I decided that a vacation was for the purpose of doing what one wanted to do most, so I just stayed right at home and enjoyed the Maryland opuntry- side.
 That's what I did during all of my vacation just enjoyed my home and let General Clay worry about the Russians. Only time left Maryland state was to take two trips into the District of Columbia and one trip into the neighboring state of Delaware.
 Staying right at home proved to be wonderful-that is, until the pigs got loose. Here are some of the things did:
 Filled The SilO-My n-law, who used to be a diligent silo- filler when he was counting my daughter, was absent this time; and even my radio agent, Jackson Leighter, never known to do a stroke of work during the rest of the year. carefully sprained his ankle just before silo-filling time. Despite the drones, however, we had such big corn crop that we filled not only the main silo but had to put up two temporary silos of paper and chicken wire.

The words of the sage of Israel
are therefore timely, calling to us
to awaken from our deep spirit

take stock of the moral spirit OF

AMER. GIANTS
DROP TWO TO
CLEVELAND

The Chicago American Giants,
who haven't had any success
while playing before their nome,
customers On two afternoons
when they dropped both ends Of
twin bills, will be back in Com
Eskey Park ,fot- another Negro
American League dOubleheader
next Sunday June g., at which
time they hoe to break into the.
win column.
Next Sundays opposition will
be furnished by the Indianapolis
Clowns, with the opener carded
for 1870 p. m.
The Giants, touted as real"
penant contenders this season,
have been playing up to expect
ations while ON the road, but
when they get within the con-
fines of Comiskey Park they
just go into a tailspin.
They dropped their Chicago
opening twin bill to the Mem
phis Red Sox several weeks ago,
and last Memorial Day Monday
suffered another double defeat,
this time from the Champion
Cleveland Buckeyes by scores of
IA and 1875.
Poor pitching in both of the
doubleheaders proved the
Giants downfall and slowed them
up considerably in their drive to
a pennant, their first since 1884.
Last Mondays twin defeat
dropped them out of the 500
class, giving them a mark of -
won and IA lost, and pushing the
Giants back into third place.
Manager Quincy Troupe !of
the Giants, however, hopes to
get his boys on the victory road
against the Clowns. IF I can
get them to win at home, Pm
sure we can't moss that pennant"
said Manager Troupe. We've
been doing alright on the road,
playing better than 600 baseball.
Now, if we can win at Chicago,
where we still have to play 20
more games, we'll live up to the
preseason picking Of the Giants
as pennant contenders, I'm sure
The Clowns and Giants will
also meet in a night game under
the arcs of Comiskey Park on

not slight Jackie Robinson, My

Publisher). This autobiog deals
particularly with baseball and
with baseball and is of special
import at this time considering
that Jackie has been warned
about the sharp decline in his
base stealing, despite the con-
tinued high level of his batting.
This book reveal Jackie as
born competitor and proceeds
to tell about his resentment OF
unfair play but his handicap IN
not being able to show his, re-
sentiment. For this exemplary
conduct, Robinson deserves the
commentator of all sports fans.
