ready had published the
fact of ex-Governor Dick
Leche's appearance, and,
I believe, in so doing,
had violated a censor-
ship established some
time before, ostensibly
in the public interest.
"The reason given
for the censorship,”
Daniell says, "was that
publication of the names
of witnesses might help
guilty persons cover up
their tracks." .
Mr. Pegler

He added, however that "In spite
of the failure of the newspapers to report
that subpoenas had struck in high places,
the corridors of the city hall and the lob-
bies of hotels buzzed with the news. It
was '‘whispered on the street corners and
in the bars," and "one newsboy shouted
the names of two witnesses, although
the papers he was selling were barren of
any information about it."
WELL, what goes here anyway?
In view of the fact that federal dis-
trict attorneys and judges are political
appointees, in view of the bad past rec-
ord of the New Deal on corruption in
Louisiana, and, again, in view of the
fact that this present expose of rotten-
ness involving political allies of the fed-
eral administration was started by news-
paper initiative, does anyone feel obliged
to believe that this censorship is imposed
in the public interest?
Aside from the legality of the order,
which is questionable and should be chal-
lenged as an overt act by some newspaper
for the purpose of a test, the claim that
it was made in the public interest should
"yes-but men"?
Remember how you held up to pub-
lic ridicule, derision and contempt, those
who said that "yes" they favored the
humanitarian objectives of your New
Deal, and then were forever adding a
“but" in criticising the methods em-
, ployed to attain those objectives?
Mr. President, you are now report-
ed to be trying to make up your mind
whether to sign the Hatch bill. You
already have said that, yes, you favor
wholeheartedly the objectives of abol-
ishing pernicious political activities.
Yet you have indicated that you do
not think the language of the Hatch
: bill is quite as precise and clear as it
might be, though the disputed language
is virtually the same as that which the
Civil Service Commission has applied
in policing the political activities of
the Government’s merit system em-
ployes for more than half a century.
And the language is the best that
Congress could draft after the months
Senator Sheppard's committee spent un-
covering political scandals in the WPA
and through the additional months of
committee study.
In view of that, Mr. President, are
you going to yield to the importunities
of certain hangers-on of your admin-
r aton and send the Hatch bill back Meet “Beau Hunk," the pride of the

Don’t Forget 1940
AVE House of Representatives is ex-
ilpeeted to choose this week among
three sets of amendments to the Wage-
Hour Act. One is the Norton bill, most
of the provisions of which have been
recommended by Wage-Hour Adminis-
trator Andrews. One is the Ramspeck
bill, which goes somewhat further. And
one is the Barden bill, which would
strip the 25-cents-an-hour protection of
the Wage-Hour Act from more than a
million workers, most of them engaged
in processing farm products.
A week or two ago it looked as if
the dime-an-hour crusaders who were
behind the Barden amendments had de-
cided to retreat. Their principal cham-
pion, Rep. Eugene Cox of Georgia, an-
be weighed against the obvious fact that
it could have been made for a reason
exactly opposite. Secrecy and censorship
also have been used to enable guilty per-
sons to cover up their tracks, and Mr.
Viosca and Frank Murphy himself, may
be reminded that the record of the De-
partment of Justice in previous charges
against at least one individual involved
in the present affair, is not so hot, con-
taining as it does the explanation that
indictments were dismissed because of
‘a change of atmosphere."
The record of the newspapers, on the
other , hand, is pretty good. What were
the Department of Justice and the In-
terior Department, both having special
interests and duties in the situation and
each having its own gestapo, doing about
all this up to the time that the news-
papers smelled out this dead mule and
told them where to find it?
• * * *
A ND certainly Mr. Murphy deceived
A himself if he thinks that he, a New
Deal politician, repudiated by his own
electorate and appointed to his present,
job for political reasons, is above a sus-
picion of political interest in a case in-
volving men who have been New Deal-
ers, too, in their own crude, larcenous
way, since that remarkable “change of
atmosphere."
Murphy, the Department of Justice and
every other official and government de-
partment connected with this case, not
excepting Honest Harold Ickes, the house
dick, will be watched this time, and there
is no obligation on anyone to accept any
professed motives for smothering infor-
mation.
Mighty damn funny, it seems to me,
that Viosca, Murphy and Ickes, with all
their young King Bradys and legal au-
thority, couldn’t smell out this further
change of atmosphere In Louisiana under
the New Deal until it was waved under
their noses by some newspaper report-
ers. But. let this be understood, that
the political circumstances of this job
and the story of past performances make
for unusual skepticism.
Do they mean to tell us they didn’t
suspect a thing until they read it in the
papers? Why, you could smell that mess
away up in Washington.
If You Want a Good-Natured Pet
----------------------By C. L. DOUGLAS ------------------------
THERE are pets and pets, but for the
1 prize 'of the lot we nominate that of
Prof. Josiah ’Combs, head of the Modern
Languages Department in Texas Chris-
tian University.
As Dr. Combs describes him: “He
doesn't bark all night; doesn't run after
you and claw at your socks; doesn't mess
up the house; is free from fleas and
diseases; never loses his appetite; never
bothers the neighbors; can go without
food all summer; doesn’t dig in the flower
beds; doesn't chase the kitty or the
neighbor's chickens; . never loses his head
or gets mad; remains always silent, pen-
sive, obedient, clean and healthy.”
He answers to call, follows the Pro-
fessor about, and apparently likes noth-
ing better than a visit to Dr. Combs'
study, where he will sit quietly on the
desk for hours — like some inanimate
paperweight.
Dr. Combs and his wife like birds and
animals, and the three acres around
their home have become a refuge for small
creatures. Squirrels, bluejays and mock-
ing birds come.to the porch regularly for
a handc t — but of them all "Beau Hunk"
is the favorite.
When Dr. Combs bought him, about
12 years ago, the turtle was about the
size of a dollar. It took about a year

Rules Committee, dominated by con-
eservatives, quickly decreed that the
JHouse should have a chance to vote
Ton the Barden amendments.
The Wage-Hour division and the
House Labor Committee had been
dreading such a test on the floor, be-
cause they were afraid the Barden
bill would win. This newspaper, while
it regards the bill as a scandalous
, assault on a measure of far-reaching
potentialities for the public good, can-
not honestly concur in the widespread
regret at the Rules Committee's action.
The House is supposed to legislate.
If a majority of the members of that
body deem it wise to support the Bar-
den bill, let them vote for it. But
let them also look forward to 1940,
and reflect that their opponents will
inevitably plague them with that
"dime-an-hour” tag.
Or, to put it on a higher plane
than that of vote-getting, let them ex-
plain how real prosperity is going to
return to this country unless purchas-
ing power is spread a little thicker in
lower brackets. _______________________

TVA Has a Strike
A MONG good employers of labor the
A Tennessee Valley Authority ranks
high — so high that, until the other
day, it had never had a strike on any
of its vast construction projects.
This first TVA strike is jurisdic-
tional. Some 150 carpenters, members
of L. has ruled that the steel piling
union, walked off the job at the Watts
Bar Dam project. That was because
the TVA had employed workers, mem-
bers of another A. F. of L. union, to
install some steel piling. The Con-
struction Trades Division of the A. F.
of L. hasru led that the steel piling
work should be done by carpenters.
But the TVA contends that there aren't
enough available union carpenters who
know how to do that kind of work.
The whole dispute seems pretty silly.

for him to get friendly and learn to eat
from his master's fingers, but he soon
caught on — and each year the profes-
sor had to increase the size of “Beau
Hunk's” container just a little.
Now the turtle is about the size of a
saucer, and occupies a section of the fish
pool in the yard.
• • •
THE DOCTOR has only to go to the
pool and call out his name, and "Beau
Hunk” bobs to the surface and swims to
the edge. But he won't respond to any-
one else.
Sometimes “Beau Hunk” gets the
wanderlust. He manages to climb out
of the pool and go excursioning. He usu-
ally finds his way back, but once, last
spring-»after "Hunk" had been gone four
days — the professor despaired of seeing
him again.
Dr. Combs searched through the woods
and for half a mile down a branch that
cuts through,his property, stopping ever
and anon to call out. but there was no |
• response.
Finally, at the home of one of the |
neighbors 200 yards away, “Beau Hunk" |
heard his master's voice, and came wad- 1
dling out of a clump of shrubbery. He’s |
back in the pool now, and showing no |
eagerness to leave the reservation again.
The turtle slips down into the mud of |
the pond and sleeps away six months of
the year—from October until April—but
even during this long hibernation “Beau
Hunk” doesn’t forget his training.
"He always knows me” says the doc-
tor, as he slipped his even-tempered pet
a few slices of lean raw pork.

Laboratory Marriage
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

known physician, who is in favor of pre-
marital psychological, as well as physical,

Then suppose Dr. Jones finds their

what do you suppose the averages Mary
and John would do? It’s my guess they’d
hunt up the minister, and that the doctor's
advice would go in one ear and out
the other, without making much of an
impression.
I think a girl could be stopped at
the altar by the news that the bridegroom
carried dangerous disease germs in his
blood, but I doubt whether she'd be so
docile when warned that he was not a
good psychological bet. "
The doctor's theory sounds splendid,
if we could pair off the young, but un-
fortunately nature has forestalled us there.
A certain well known bow-boy also carries
a hypodermic needle in the form of an
arrow, and, once Cupid has innoculated
the couple with the virus of love, there's
very little any doctor or the whole med-
ical professional can do about it.
Which oughtn't to make us feel un-
easy. For the human heart is an eternal
enigma, and Love remains, and forever
must remain, a mystery—the insoluble rid-
dle in a too well regimented universe.
It's doubtful whether the marriage
made in the medical laboratory would turn
out any better than the one made in
Heaven. Somewhere between the two ex-
tremes, men and women must always
muddle through to whatever happiness

If indeed we are a civilization

The Lord did not set His love
upon you, nor choose you, be-
cause ye were more in number
than any people; for ye were the
fewest of all people—Deut. 7:7.

Love was to his impassioned
soul, not a mere part of its ex-
istence, but the whole, the very
life-breath of his heart. Moore.
