Former Rs sident Ilf In Zoo

Jim, a Kodiak Bear, at the San Diego Zoo has become paralyzed in his hind legs due t) eating too much candy and bread fed him between meals by visitors to the zoo.
 The big bear was captured as a cub on Kodiak Island in 1884 along with another cub which was named Joe. Or iginally the two shared the same quarters, but several years age Joe died of an in- fected jaw wound. He re- ceived it in a playful scuffie with Jim.
 Zoo keepers believe that Jim will ultimately be put to sleep. The 1,700 pound bear can not be given shots" and other treatment afforded smaller animals at the zoo.
 The bears were taken from Kodiak to California aboard the yacht Stranger skippered by a Captain Lewis. Sid Old and Eli Metrokin were in the party that helped catch the cubs.

The Kodiak High School basketball team are planning for the annual tournament held on the mainland. AL though the basketball tourna- ment is in February, finances must be thought of now.
 In the past the people of Kodiak have been behind their team 100 per cent. All their contributions have been greatly appreciated.
 This year the boys have decided to sell choice Christ mas trees to help pave the way for their trip. Later a dance is planned.
 All basketball boys will be taking orders for trees. Any order from the team will help them solve this financial problem.

The Thyssen Tragedy

The tragedy of Fritz ThySsen was the tragedy
Of Germanism. He personifed German nation
alism on the industrial front, and it was for
that reason that he sponsored Hitler. That there
ever was any genuine bond of friendship between
the two men seems impossible. They were of
drastically different types-the head of the
German steel business a cautious nationalist,
and the leader of the National Socialist move
ment an adventurous almost hysterical romantic
Thyssen worked like an adding machine; Hitler
on the other hand, was as much an anarchistic
dreamer as Thomas Munzer the mad theocrat
of the sixteenth century What brought the
industrialist and Der Fuehrer together was the
hope on the formers part that he could use the
Brown Shirt organization to serve his own aims.
Thyssen wanted to believe that Hitler was
savior of German nationhood. He financed
the Nazs on a patriotic level, lent their drive
the credit of his name, was their apologst to
the rest of Europe and to America. But he was
logical man, reasonable person, and he soon
was disillusioned about the renaissance of the
old Reich under the swastika flag The final
struggle was a classic Hitler undoubtedly would
have liked to prove his power by destroying
Thyssen. But Der Fuehrer never was strong
enough. Instead, he had to sit quiet while
the head of the German steel trust fled to
Switzerland. Confiscation of his property was
an empty gesture. The detection of Thyssen
probably was the first truly significant blow
Hitler experienced. Ever afterward industry
and commerce feared fm-and hated him.
The whole history of the human species
some day may be written in terms of the natural
conflict between those who have things to lose
and those who do not. Thyssen represented the
conservative, property owning factor; Hitler the
radical, property bankrupt group. When they
tried to collaborate in the interest of German
national survival, they failed psychologically
and temperamentally. There could be no meet
ing of minds between them any durable,
defensible basis. Yet it was such cooperation
that Germany needed, if it were to stand against
bolshevism. Because it was infeasible, the new
Reich fell as the old had fallen in the Kaiser's
time. Nobody has gained by the tragedy. Instead,
events seem to be moving swiftly toward World
War III.

Mr.. Donohue and Liquor Control

Senator Welker of Idaho, new member
Of Congress and of the Senate District Commit
tee, suggests that if F. Joseph Donohue is
confirmed as Commissioner he should associate
himself from any supervision of the city's liquor
control system.
As Commissioner, OF course, he could not
do that, unless he resigned or was able to
obtain the rewriting and amendment of vast
body of local law. The Commissioners are given
wide powers of regulation of the local liquor
industry. AS one of the Commissioners, Mr..
Donohue must do his part in exercising those
powers. If he cannot do that, because OF his
past connections with the industry, he should
not take the job
The theory that he might associate himself
rs Commissioner from liquor control probably
springs from an expedient division, among the
Commissioners, of direct supervision OF certain
municipal departments. The informal ALLEGATION
to Commissioner Young, for example, of super
vision of the Police Department. or to Commits
sioner Mason of supervision of the Health De-
partment, is without legal standing. 1t has no
force in law. The powers delegated to the Com
missioners by the statutes are not delegated to
one of them They are assigned to all OF them.
The division of certain detailed responsibilities
among the Commissioners is purely matter of
convenience to them.
entirely too far and it is basically wrong. When
something comes up relating to the Police
Department, it should be handled by the Board
of Commissioners by Commissioner Young.
When problem involving the hospitals or the
liquor board is presented for solution, the Board
of Commissioners, not Mr. Mason, should find the
solution. When the budget is being studied,
decisions relating to apportionment of money to
various departments are the business of the
board, and no Commissioner should put himself
in the position of being advocate for any
special branch of local government. This is
practice, but bad practice
Should Mr.. Donohue prefer to have
Commissioner Young, rather than hmsef-as
successor to Mr.. Mason-assume responsibility
for the liquor board, it would be wrong in pria-
ciple and misleading in practice to make the
transfer. For it is 1.-THE Commissioners" of whom
the laws delegating responsibility and powers
speak; 1t is not single Commissioner.
The best way for Mr.. Donohue to dissociate
himself from the liquor business is to break all
the ties that may have bound him, as a lawyer,
to his liquor dealer clients. This break should
include a declaration on his part that as
Commissioner he will refuse to accept any
further fees accruing to his law firm as
representative of the liquor interests.
If he is unwilling to do that he has no bust
ness being Commissioner.

Mr.. Donohue's Integrity

For any one to suggest that the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board be trans
ferred from under the supervision OF
Joseph Donohue If he is confirmed as a
District of Columbia Commissioner Is an
insult to Mr.. Donohue's honesty and
integrity and to those who know him.

era, enforced or attempted to enforce

special agent and assistant chief OF special
agents, doing duty in nearly every State
of the Union and in Washington, D. G.

cases Mr. Donohue appeared as defense

and one who gave his everything TO
win his case. He never used dirty tactics
such as are employed by some shysters
who do not have enough brains to put
I'D a defense, and this is the reason he
became recognized as the leading de-
tense lawyer on liquor matters.
Some lawyers specialize in divorce
actions, some specialize in income tax
actions, others specialize in patent law,
ETC., and if Mr.. Donohue became sue
cessful and specialized in alcoholic
beverage control laws, is he to be hung
to the cross for his actions?
The transfer of supervision OF the
A. B. C. Board to Commissioner j. Rus
sell Young would be the worst move one
could even think Of. Mr.. Young has
supervision of the Police Department.
and it is this department that reports
80 per cent or more of the Control Board
violations. So Mr.. Young. If given con-
troll of the A. B. c. Board together with
the control of the Police Department.
would be the law enforcer, jury and
Judge, as decisions of the A. B. c.
Board often are referred or appealed to
the Commissioners.
Or would this be smart move: To
give Mr. Young supervision over the
activities of the A. B. c. Board and give
Mr.. Donohue supervision over the Police
