Safety of Highways Is
Still Great Need
Near Mineola a few weks ago a truck
driver fell asleep at the wheel, crashed into
a car occupied by Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Stokes
Jr. Mrs. Stokes was killed. The people of the
vicinity were enraged because a woman had
been killed in the accident, and, perhaps be-
cause the woman also was the sister of the
popular governor, James V. Allred.
So J. R. Johnson, driver of the truck,
who admitted he was asleep, was charged
with negligent, homicide. The judge assessed
60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
The man wrote the governor from the
jail cell: ;•
"I have two children the ages of five
and two years old, a crippled father, two sis-
• ters, a brother and mother that are on re-
lief and really and truly need my support.
I am just a common laborer. This was the
frist job I had in several months. Every day
I am in jail is hurting my family, not me."
The truck driver got $8 a trip for driv-
ing a truck from Dallas to the oil field, and
had to keep going to make wages.
So now Governor Allred forgives, and
•frees Mr. Johnson. He blames the system in-
stead of the man. ;r-
- -v There are several regrettable things a-
bout the whole affair, chief of which, nat-
urally, is the loss of a life, no matter who
. she was.
Political enemies were saying Governor
All red was a party to excess punishment be-
cause he had- the power to pardon. But is
sixty days excessive for taking a human
life, no matter how unavoidable?
Political friends of the governor advis-
ed him to pardon the man—for political ef-
fect. We had hoped he would be strong en-
ough to resist. The natural thing for the
politician would have been to pardon. The
natural thing for the brother would have
been to let the sentence remain. Governor
Allred prove more political than human and
we are sorry, for we have great respect for
the young executive.
The most lamentable part is that the
employers of Johnson could not be fined not
the $500, but $5,000 for bringing about a
condition which was responsible for the
carelessness.
Something must be done to protect the
lives of human .beings on the highways. If
we are to build up the idea that remaining
in jail 60 days is excessive punishment for
taking a human life, heaven help us.
Condons Call
Reopens Court
Action in Case
TRENTON, N. J., April 13 <U.P.)
—A request to Dr. John F. (Jaf-
sie) Condon from the Mercer coun-
ty grand jury to appear before it
Wednesday opened an apparent
avenue' today toward new nega-
tions resultant from the Lindbergh
kidnaping.
The grand jury is investigating
a repudiated "confession" of Paul
H. Wendel, disbarred Trenton at-
torney, that he kidnaped and mua-
dered the baby for whose slaying
Bruno Richard Hauptmann was ex-
ecuted.
Allyne M. Freeman, grand jury
foreman, revealed he had telegra-
phed a request to Dr. Condon at
his home in New York, but refused
to disclose how the grand jury ex-
pected the aged educator to help io
the Wendel investigation. Freeman
said he had no intention of ques-
tioning condition about anything
pertaining to Hauptmann.
Since Condon's connection with
the Lindbergh kidnaping was as
the ransom pay-master, authorities
whom the grand jury has consist-
ently cold-shouldered speculated
that it probably wanted to check
detaila of Wendel's "confession"
against facta of the ransom nego-
tiations as Condon remembers
them.
Freeman also announced the
grand jury had summoned Hahlon
B. Foster of Bellefonte, N. J., said
to be a handwriting expert, to tes-
tify tomorrow. Foster investiga-
ted several clues in the early days
of the Lindbergh case in 1932, but
lit was believed the grand jury|
wanted him to explain a report
that he had said Wendel once boast
ed that he was an associate of Al|
Capone, Chicago's former gang
czar. ■
Bitter Foe of
New Deal Dies
in IJ- $■ Capital
' WASHINGTON, April 13, "(UP)
—Jimes Montgomery Beck, for-
mer solicitor general of the Uni-
• States and representative
from Pennsylvania, Hied unexpect-
edly at his home here ln^t : ester-
day
Beck, who **•- 7i i1 i practic-
ed law in Washint,' >n since his
retirement from the house in '34.
He had been prominent recently
as an American Liberty League
attorney and as a critic of the
New Deal.
His physician f-aid the caur.e of
death was coronary thrombosis,
a heart ailment. Funeral services
have not been announced.
. „ Beck, in the midst of his third
-term in the house, announced his
^retirement on Sept. 13, because,
he said "under present conditions
congress is merely a rubber stamp
for the executive, and to he one-
four-hundredth part of a rubber
stamp no longer appeals to me.''
Beck was solicitor general from
1921 to 3925, in the Harding and
Coolidge administrations. In his
early political career he was a
Democrat. He went over to the
Republican party because of his
opposition to the "free silver"
policy of Wilf.am .Jennings Bryan.

WATONGA, Okla., April 15,—
(UP)—Howard Wolfe, 18. of Fort
Worth, suspected in a slaying
there, and his girl companion,
Stacy Jane Oliver, 18, were re-
turned to Texas today for investi-
gation in the slaying of J. M.
Harrison.
Sheriff Carl West of Fort
Worth started to Texas with the
pair today, after they had agreed
to waive extradition.
The pair were arrested here

girl's grandmother, Mrs. Nancy
Camp, after Texas police had
broadcast a description fitting the
ear young Wolfe was driving.
Sheriff R. C. Scott said that
Wolfe admitted robbing a man in
Fort Worth Monday night, but
that he denied killing the robbery
victim. Harrison died after telling
officers that a youth shot him
twice in an attempt to rob him
as they were driving near Fort
Worth.
Scott, said that young Wolf's
hat had blood on it, and that the
boy had a pistol snd a small
amount of money. The boy ad-
mitted he said, that he was driv-
ing "a hot car," stolen from a
farm near Fort Worth. The car
was not Harrison's, he stated.

by Wolfe at a small town near
Fort Worth, Sheriff Scott said.

DEPUTIZES ALL
OF MOB, THEN
ORDERS GIVEN
DANIELSVILLE, Ga.( April 11
(U.R)-—A northeast Georgia judge
today averted a threatened lynch-
ing by deputizing every member
of a mob of 100 masked men.
The mob qu-ickly dispersed.
The judge was B. T. Moseley,
who got up out of a sick bed to
deal in novel fashion with the
mob, which had battered a hole
in Madison county jail in search
of a negro.
"I declare you all deputized
as officers," Judge Moseley shout
ed from the jail steps.
As the mob dispersed, leaving
only a dozen loiterers, the judge
added with an emphasis none
could mistake:
"I recognize most of you
here."
The negro was Identified as
Lint Shaw. He was also charged
with stabbing two deputy sher-
iffs, one seriously.
Sheriff Henley said 8haw was
arrested last night at Colbert,
near here, and taken to the Col-
bert jail. It. was during his trans
fer to the Madison county jail
that the negro stabbed Deputies
G. A. Elder and Ralph Beard.
Elder's condition was said to be
critical. He was in an Athens,
Ga., hospital.
The sheriff said that two white
girls were walking near a field
late yesterday and the negro
grabbed one of them, threatening
her with a knife.
After the mob gathered at
Danielsville today the sheriff de-
putized the citizens. Judge Mose-
ley forced his way through the
crowd, Sheriff Henley said, and
shouted:
"This is an open violation of
the law. I call on good citizens
to have themselves deputized and
on the sheriff to see that this
mob is thwarted.''
The mob subsided but they al-
ready had battered a gaping hole
in the jail with crowbars and
hammers. The negro, Shaw, was
still safe inside.
Bill Hart Says
United Artists
Owe Him $500,000
NEW YORK, April 15. (U.R)—
William S. (Bill) Hart, veteran
cowboy star of wild west screen
thrillers, felt like a "poleaxed
steer" when heads of United Ar-
tists Corporation told him in 1925
that he was too old to make love
in the movies.
Hart, now 65 and gray, al-
though straight and vigorous,
confessed his emotion in trial of
his suit for $500,000 from United
Artists for damage to his career
and then smiled embarressedly
while court spectators laughed.
Hart charged that the dpmage
he alleges was done his screen
reputation was caused by failure
of United Artists to give proper
exploitation to "Tumbleweeds",
his last film, produced in 1925.
The box office failure of Tumble-
weeds, he said, forced him out
of motion picture production.

Large Crowds
on 5th Avenue
Easter Parade
NEW YORK, April 13 (U.R) —As
large and gorgeously decked a
throng as any since the days of
Mrs. August Belmont's original
400 defied dreary cold and wet
pavements yesterday in Fifth Av-
enue's famous Easter parade.
Police traffic experts estimated
that more than 1,000,000 persons, a
considerable portion of them from
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
England and the Middle West,
passed St. Patrick's Roman Catho-
lic Cathedral and St. Thomas Epis-
copal church between 10 a. m. and
2 p. m.

em amid not always respectful com
ment along the avenue at the
height of the crush, but coats, hats,
dresses, shoes and bouquets as u-
sual provided the pieces de resist-
ance of the sightseeing throng.
Fashion experts who gathered
on every important corner and in
every church to stretch and tabu-
late trends, said the outstanding
phenomenon was'the prevalence of
deep shades of purple. Close behind
that hue in popularity was a dash-
ing yellow, used frequently In' com-
bination with a bright green.

McCraw Tells of
Glory of Texas
in Club Speech
Urging the people of Texas not
to seek strange fields but to meet
the task at hand, Attorney Gener-
al William McCraw addressed the
Third District, Women's Club Fed-
eration Wednesday morning at the
Baptist church.
Stressing the abundance of weal-
th in Texas Mr. McCraw said it
was not necessary for people of
•Texas to turn to foreign fields, for
in Texas there was not only wealth
but beauty.
Mr. McCraw urged the people of
Texas to aid youth, to teach them
to take pride in their own crafts-
manship and not to be ever looking
forward for something different.
"In Europe," Mr. McCraw said,
"Fathers follow fathers in the
same trade. They take pride in
their work and make every effort
to see .that what they do is as near
perfect as possible. But in the Uni-
ted States the boy On the farm
lives for the day when he can leave
for the city and the boy of the
craftsman in the city seeks anoth-
er vocation —a vocation which he
hopes will yield greater return."
The Attorney General lauded
President Roosevelt as a man that
is a doer and not a sitter. "There
are too many friends to man sit-
ting by the side of the road, Mr.
McCraw said, and not enough
doesr. Too high a value is placed on
the substantial wealth. The hum-
blest duty can be noble while the
highest position can be ignoble.
In this, the Centennial year, Mr.
McCraw reminded that the great-
est glory is not the task but the
doing of the task and that no mat-
ter how much training a person
has received it is worth less unless
it gives benefit to others.
Mr. McCraw was introduced by
Mrs. Van Hook Stubbs.

OFFICER GOES
AS COMMANDER
CHICAGO AREA
WASHINGTON, April 13 (U.R)-
Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood, who
was relieved of command of the
Eighth Corps Aroa after he criti-
cized the WPA administration, was
reinstated today as commander of
the Sixtht Corps Area with head-
quarters in Chicago.
Hagood, whose dismissal raised
a storm of political controversy,
had confered with President Roose
volt last week and his reappoint-
ment was indicated by his smiling
refusal to comment when he left
the White House.
He had been removed from his
command by "order of the presi-
dent." '
<* •
The war department, however,
had said the action was due to the
manner in which he criticized the
administration's relief policies.
In testimony before a congres-
sional committee, Hagood called
PWA funds "stage money" and as-
sailed the administration for using
money in a way he considered un-
wise.
At Chicago, Hagood will replace
Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, who
will go to New York as command-
er of the Second Corps Area.
Thus Hagood, having been dis-
ciplined by being placed on a sta-
tus of "awaiting orders" for a-
bout two months, has been restor-
ed to a position just as high as
that which he vacated.
