WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. <U.R> —
Senator Bennett C. Clark, demo-

moronic and' unpatriotic" attempt J
to inflame the public with a war :

"I saw a little girl.find the body of her sister who was'machine-gunned.while picking potatoes in a field."

Constable Henry Enax was
looking for County Judge Dick
Spinn today. It is«rumored he
held a warrant for his arrest on
a charge of automobile theft, for
trial before Justice of the Peace
Hub Becker. It all started when
the judge took his own car to
Henry Loesch's station for ser-
vice. Henry loaned him » Model
A for use while the car was tied
*, up, since the judge was schedul-
ed to make a talk out. at the
high school. When the judge
started to th^ school, he was in
a hurry, and took the first Model
A he came to, thinking it was
the one he borrowed from
Loesch. But in about five minu-
tes. here came a farmer com-
plaining to the constable his car
had been stolen. Enax had an
idea what had happened, and so
he loaded the farmer into his
own automobile and started out
to the high school. Meanwhile,
Judge Spinn found he was an
hour too early, and he hurried
back to the courthouse where he
abandoned the Model A. . The
farmer' recovered his car, but
the constable and justice of the
peace believe they can try the
judge anyway, and maybe fine
him at least a cup of coffee.

He hears an airplane overhead

in the hope of seeing a protector.
His wife goes marketing and
her purchases are limited by her
„ needs, her tastes, her budget,
but not by decree.
He comes home of an evening
through streets which are well
lighted, not dimly in blue.
He reads his newspaper and
knows what it says is not con-
cocted by a bureau, but an. hon-,

ent the truth.
He has never had a gas mask
on. «
He has never been in a bomb-

His military training, an R. “of

took because it excused him

was not compulsory.
He belongs to* such fraternal

found woodpeckers had so weak-

to be replaced. Within a month
or so the new poles were damag-

, covered that the woodpeckers,

ones when replacements were

In a senate speech- opposing:
neutrality revision Clark referred
to a speech yesterday at White '
Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. , »<
In which Johnson said that we
should draw a defense lesson-from 1
the German conquest of Poland
“To compare the situation of the
United States, located between
Canada and Mexico, with 3,000
miles of ocean between us and
any possible adversary on one side
and 7,000 miles of sea between us
and any possible adversary on the
other, with a superb navy and

sides by Germany And the othe>
side by RumIs," "Clark said, "is an
attempt ^o alarm and excite our
people, ■ which to my mind is be-
neath contempt."
Clark also Challenged the senate
to recognize frankly that the "sec-
ret assumption" behind efforts to
change the neutrality act is to
permit the United States to aid
Great Britain and France.
