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. He may be assigned to the debt
L question.
L;‘.‘:,:’As Hull has picked Moore, S 0 Secretary Stimson
g%gehcted the late Joe Cotton, his former law partner,

NO FAULT OF THE GOVERNMENT
Many of the towns and cities in Georgia
as well as educationdl and other institu
[tions are experiencing delays and meeting
fwilh failures to secure funds from the
Public Works fund. 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

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-,

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.

not for the nudists but for other
people.” The nudist colony will
be protected from the gaze of the
curicus, and given outdoor treat

Entertainment in ‘Dr.
"
Bull”’, at Palace
You don’t even have to like
WwWill Rogers to lke ‘“Dr. Bull,”
showing at the Palace for the last
times tonight. 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.

every respect.
Starting: off with a mysterious
robbery of plans at a shipyard,
the story moves swiftly to a thrill

building of Floating Platferm No.
