Puerto Rico Trouble - e By RODNEY DUTCHER The Banner- Herald Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON —Governor Robert H. Gore has returned to Puerto Rico and it isn’t bleieved that he will stay on the job very long. Gore jsn’t happy. The Puerto Ricans are riding '‘fiim. The administration wishes' it could think of ‘someone to handle a difficult assignment. . Far {from empty-handed, the governor took back ‘about $4,5600,000 in promises of public works, home Joan and R. F. C. money. But the politicos of the jsland won't let up in their attempts to make his life miserable, and Gore, who is thin-skinned and unable to hu}‘u}le _them, is understood to be fed up. ' Gore's troubles have been widely publicized and some Of them were his own fault. Others were traceahle to a bad situation and to the fact that ‘QGore virtuaily had to govern alone, other American officials not having been appointed. The administration is thinking seriously about Puerto Rico, whose basic trouble is physical hunger jind g}arvatlon. Hunger is universal among the eommon people and the small wealthy class is not subject to an income tax. . . The jsland is so crowded that it's impossible to gO anywhere there without hearing voices and there's twice as much labor as is needed for crops, ‘which only offer seasonal jobs. It's a country of fili‘i‘netiant agricultural laborers, where no one Owns ;dnuch and the total income of a working family flfipesfi’t exceed S2OO a Yyear. Subsistence is largely on imported polished rice and beans. Puerto Rico's amo,peo people have the highest tuberculosis rate in the world. i No American governor is likely to be generally popular there, although some do bettr than others. - One compiaint to the NRA tells about an electric light bulb salesman, operating in nearby Maryland, whose packages were covered with Blue Eagle stamps. : . After the packages were opened, purchasers found the words “Made in Japan.” Secretary of State Hull is a lot happier now that his {friend, ex-Congressman R. Walton Moore of .'f?irginia, has, succeeded Ray Moley as assistant “Secretary of State. He likes and respects Under %;@}:flry William Phillips and the other assistant 3 ecretaries. : ',,X}ve’ry Secretary of State has had a personal ,_\‘hv{éhd under him whose judgment he can trust. ?l!oom is 74 years old and not very SPry, but he will ’,"‘gi,'lve important odd johs which require study and s many ‘conferences and which Hull hasn't time to handle personally.

By PAUL HARRISON, NEA Service Writer. $4 NPW YORK.—Meanderings: Clyde Pangborn, who &y,maed the globe in 1931 with ‘Hugh Herndon, jr, _as navigator, tells his friends he’s now planning a ?iidn-stop'wrold flight, with only three or four re- Mfgelifigs . . . Herndon, on the other hand, has ’f:i'lv‘en up flying, lives quietly in Connecticut, com ‘mutes each day to the Manhattan office of an oil “eompany . * The, yacht that belonged to Earl Carroll in better days mow is owned by the socialite Horace E.

Condon, “she “Jafsie” who was an intermediary in the Lind “bergh kidnaping case, returned from a long vaca }! on the other day and is resuming his search for fifie man to whom he handed the $50,000. N‘“s‘ome of the “Hoover Cities,” those squatter set &égcmems of jobless ex-service men, are taking on Pe¥ery aspect of permanence.

Mr. Ahearn is around . w “York now basking in considerable glory, for %’mnario, «picture Snatcher,” proved a hit, and ?cw .asotheér one, “Wild Boys of the Road" has opened to good notices. . » . Danny thinks he'd bet- F"tsuck to scenarios because his first and only Pook, “How to Commit a Murder and Get Away With It,” didn't go very well. { '_As the night club season swings into a heaithy & mtride, a first-rate duel looms between the maestros " ¥paul Whiteman and Rudy Vallee, It will be batons iat fAfty paces—that being about the distance that 1' rates the rival Broadway establishments where ghese two will be playing. . . . Together with " "pand, warblers, a large chorus of cuties and assort stooges, Mr. Whiteman is moving into the Par .\ adisé; and diagonally across the thoroughfare, at b ‘the Hollywood, Mr. Vallee is doing the same. The ' contest promises to be all the more interesting be- I cause the two places are so much alike—huge af § "airs with lavish shows and low prices, catering to .

The obstacles that have arisen are from no fault of the gov ernment nor of the municipalities and in stitutions seeking the tunds responsible, but it is purely a business provisicn incor porated in the Public Works Act which requires certain standards and collaterals. These requirements must be met by the borrowers before the governmnet officials can make the loans. In most instances, the counties and municipalities are limited in their borrow ing powers, and where a county or a municipality have issued bonds up to or near their limits, as provided by law, loans ’can not be made to such counties for pro jects that are not liquidating without bonds as callateral. Of course for such projects as are liquidating, loans can be secured in reasonable amounts. These laws controlling the percentage of tax valua tions for bond issue purposes were enacted long before the Public Works fund was created, consequently, this condition has caused no little complications with quite a number of counties and municipalities de siring to enter into the building of many public improvement projects. Under the National Recovery Act, all states in the nation were put on the same basis, but it is hoped that through the power delegated to President Roosevelt by congress that he will be able to find a way to help not only Georgia to secure these funds, but other states that are in the same fix. It may be depended that President Roosevelt will streteh his au thority as far as possible, in keeping with safe and sound business principles to en able the applicants for loans to secure them without unduly delays. BUCKLING DOWN ON CRIME The Department of Justice, of the Fed-| eral government is buckling down on crime, especialy racketeering and kidnap ing. Under orders from President: Roose velt, that department has been instructed to use its full resources in not only run ning down crime, but to prosecute in def tail all offenses and to break up gangsters nrganizations wherever found. The deter mination of the Department of Justice to ~arry out the orders of President Roosevelt was indicated by the arrest of alleged.ac ‘omplishes in the Lindbergh kidnaping' cases when two or more suspects were ar-| rested in Antwerp. This action on the nart of secret service agents shows that the American government has representa tives in ‘very country of the world seeking the arrest of the Lindbergh baby kidnap ors and murderers. Not only in that case, but in the Urschel kidnaping case in which George E. “Machine Gun” Kelly, noted desperado and racketeer is alleged to have had a prominent part. His arrest in Mem nhis a few days ago startled the members of the underworld, whe it may be expect ed will resort to desperate methods ini order to free the gunman from the custody, of the officers, | While Kelly surrendered peacefully and| without the feast resittance to the offi cers, in manner he showed a spirit of re sentment of the criminal type he repre sents. In a braggadocio remark, he statedl ‘o the press “that it can tell the world that T'll be out ofherebefore long.” And he, will, unless strict precaution is taken by the officers in charge of Kelly. In trans ferring him from jail to the courthouse, an armored car was used with a cordon of of ficers in charge. When Kelly is transfer red to Oklalioma City for trial in the Urs ~hel case, it may be expected that his al lies will be present or at least will show 7n at the time they believe to be psycolo gical for his escape, through their aid. The officers of the law are dealing with one of the shrewdest and most desperate crim-1 inals of the present generation. Not even the stripes of the convict nor the bars of prison cells or armored automobiles will faze this criminal and his underworld as sociates. To free him from the officers, the courts and the law is the paramount am bition in the minds and hearts of these racketeers. It is a desperate gang to deal with and one that will tax the ingenuity of both local officers and secret service agents of the federal government. However, now is the time to call the hands of this underworld gang, invisible in a manner, but-all powerful in its op position to the legally constituted govern ments of the states and nation. The il legal organized erime industry has grown to be a potent factor against the enforce ment of the law and the protection of mor als and society. All of which has resolved itself into a fight for supremacy between crime and law and order. THE NO FENCE LAW Several decades ago, the “no fence law” and the ‘“fence law” advocates created more dissension, hard feelings and blood shed than did the War Between the States. People in counties would hold elections on the question, but the results, either for or against, did not satisfy, but created fueds that lasted through generations. ; Now the question of “no fence” or “fence law” is being agitated in some sec tions of south Georgia. For many years, the state has been under a “no fence law” which seems to have worked very satis factory. To revive the old feelings by hold ing elections on the question would be ex tremely unfortunate. People have become accustomed to fencing their pastures and thereby protecting their stock as well as crops of forage from the ravages of stock. The most important mineral substances required in food are the salts of iron, iodine, phesphorus, calcium (lime), man ganese, potash and soda, = woeoo THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA DID IT EVER OCCURTO YOU - - A Little of Everything, Not Much of Anything By HUGH ROWE As a writer of prose and poetry and tributes to his friends, Vivian Stanley, former newspaper editor, but now a member of the Prison Commis- sion, has few equals. It has been our good fortune to read some of his poems and trib utes to departed friends, all of which carry in every line and verse a sympathetic touch of hu man interest peculiarly character istic of this talented and brilliant writer, FKeature story writing s another accomplishment of his that has attracted wide attention many of his stories having been published in the leading magazines of the country. Somehow. in his writings, he introduces an atmos phere of pathos and love for his fellow man, his writings reaching the very heart strings of the soul, reviving a sentiment of traditions of the long ago. Literary genius and poetical ability is not culti vated, but are inborn—Viyian Stanley was born a literary and ‘poetical genius, : A recent poem by Mr. Stan ley, entitled, ‘“Love Is Divine”, has received much favorable comment from the press as well as from many readers of the wvarious publications in which it has appeared. LOVE IS DIVINE “What is love, if not divine— Bound by Angel hands sublime; Man’s best hope, Heaven’s best plan— God's greatest gift to man. “What is love, if not divine— Expressed in prose and sung in rhyme,— Binding man to one great goal, Heart to heart and soul to soul \ A ;e v “If love is God’s best gift to man, And hearts are bound by Ange! hands,— Then ties of love must be divine, And live throughout an ageless time.” From present indications, there will be a lange créwd of visitors here tomorrow for the Georgia-North Caraling State football game. Orders for tick-, ets from out of town people are unusually large. . The game is bound to bé one of the most interesting and exciting of the season. Besides, the fans are anxious to see the team work out and get a line on the season's prospects. It looks gaod .in the practices, and with a real strona team opposing the Bulldogs, the best there is in the players will be brought out Saturday afternoon. The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock, the preliminaries, making ready for the game and the band concert will be commenced prior that hour, in ordér to entertain the patrons arriving earlier in the afternoon. Goldsboro, N, C., is destined to become one of the most fa mous year round resorts in the wonld, if the plans of Dr. Otto J. Schmidt, of New York, suc ceeds. - The doctor is seeking a tract of land of 1,000 acres in an isolated section of the mountains of North Carolina where he proposes tq lo cate a nudist colony. The doctor is quoted as saying, “the main con sideration is isolation, necessary not for the nudists but for other people.” The nudist colony will be protected from the gaze of the curicus, and given outdoor treat ment where they will be as free as birds and animals to rove at will and where they please in the range of the ot)p’filnes of the reservation set aside for this health building treatment, !

Of course, Will ‘Rogers is the chief attraction and could carry the entire show on his shoulders, but there is such a multiplecity .of excellent character actors in support of the lead that you could pick out just one of them and think it a highly en- joyable performance. “Dr. Bull” is the only physician jin the little town of New Winton, a New England town with all those characteristics =~ that typify the Yankee village of today, the town house, the country store gone modern, the one first church, and the gabbling old maids, yes above all, the gabbling old maids. And the wives and widows aren’t much better - The part of “Dr. Bull” gives Will Rogers a chance to do some of the most entertaining and most homan character portrayal he’s done for the movies. It is only fair, however, to say that a large part of the picture’s excellence is due to the splendid work of Lou ise Dresser, Vera Allen, Ralph Morgan, Rochelle Hudson, Andy Devine and Berton Churchill. “F.
