E. A. PUBLIC THOUGHT BY BRUCE CATTON Every age has its symbols, and one of the most revealing things about the present moment in human affairs seems to be the fact that the symbol of the houris the good Dr. Wirt. The ‘doctor could not have been taken seriously at any other time than. the present. The mere fact that the was able to get #s rguch public attention as he did get speaks volumes on the state of the public mind. When the laughable aspects of this dinner-table gossip-about radicalism in high places are cleared away, it remains pretty evident that the whole busibess managed to touch. a responsive chord in the .electorate simply because the electorate ag a whole had already been doing a good deal of cogi tatingv along -the same general lines. We have, in other words, come gradually to the realization that something big and far-reaching has been hgppening to us in the last year, and we have been: trying to flgure out just what, it is. | We have set to work to re-examine the fundamen talg of our national philosophy as we have not done ginee the Civil War, | Haxdly any of the things that have been done. at Vy’qshingwn since March 4, 1933, are lacking in significance, We loosen our monetary policy and‘ find that we have lined the haves and have-nots up (0¥ a struggle; we-tackle our farm problem and disco¥éy’ that our new policy may carry us far into‘ unchartered waters; we set to work to revive in dustdy. and find ourselves engaged in an experi- | ment .which has® no precedent in American mstory.l The. patural result of all this—undertaken, ag it was,” in-a hurry, without formulation of a definite underlying philosophy—is that we have at least reached: the point where we want, very greatly, to know just what is ahead of us. . J Maybe we'll be afraid of it and maybe we won't; the poipt is, we want to Know. At this psychological moment, then, comes the Hoosier 'schoolmaster, with his horrendous tales of Communism among the mighty. The important thing about it was not what he had to say, but the way We listened to him. . In that fact—in the eager way we waited for some new zm‘ormaxion about the course that is Dbeing chartéréd for us—llies the real significance of the wholé Dusiness, Cityiddwellers are bound to take a good deal of interest in ihat recent decision of the U, 8. ecircuit c‘ourt\pf\ appeals in Chicago, in which it was ordered that “the top 12 floors of a 20-story apartment build ing be removed so neighboring residents can have a little sunlight and fresh air. " .~ “In the fight for better living conditiong in large cities,” says the court’s decision, “in the contest for iir;bm light and air, more health and comfort—the scales ave not well balanced if dividends to the in dividual outweigh health and happiness to the com ‘munity.” Here's a point that often got lost in the shuffle, during the skyscraper building boem of the '2os. Phe decision may have a marked effect on the fu ture course of building in our large cities. . The State Department's action in announcing its rstrong disapproval of the enroliment of United States aviators for war service in Colombia is perfectly understandable. One good way of getting embroiled in the troubles of neighboring nations is to permit your citizens to take a prominent part in the fighting which those ‘troubles cause. © The United States government, of course, c¢an never be held responsible if individual Agericans thire out to fight for warring factions in Latin “ America; nevertheiess, the fact that they do so helps to color Latin-America’s notion of interference by _lhe “Colossug of the North.” © The soldier of fortune has an old and romantic ‘tradition in this country, to be sure, But he has “not, evervthing considered, been a wWwWholesome in fluence, ‘lt ig not surprising that Washington feels called ~on to display a frown of disapproval, - HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP ‘ BY DAN THOMAS & NEA Service Staff Correspondent ~ HOLLYWOOD ~— “The motion picture industry would not be at all out of line if it murmured a few Wwords of deep gratitude for the depression through which we have just passed.” _ Irving Thalberg, foremost among film producers, is doing the talking—slowly but with the assurance of one who knows whereof he speaks. oA f‘?laturally, the benefits we received were of a sort 3iu{,,l;»acl‘:-harxded nature,” the producer continues. fmke every other large business, the film industry ?és,t millions of dollars, However, because of the fmpresswn. we now are in far better position than iwg otherwise would have been to go ahead and earn & profit. . . “Why? Because we have a world of talent which never would have come to Hollywood had it not been for the depression, 3 . !There are more fine actors in Hellywood today than in any other place on-earth. No matter what kind of: character ig written into a story, we have an 4ctor ‘'who can portray him capably, f . “"Many of these players are here because the de pression cut their other sources of revenue to such wXtent that they literally were forced to turn to pictures,” ~ Thalberg’s remark regarding the fine actors more: or less explodes the statement made a few weeks ago by Cecil B. DeMille to the effect that there are o real actors in Hollywood. : A.nd I'm inclined to believe that if the two could be persuaded to debate on the subject, DeMille would have to back down. % “Phe only trouble encountered in casting these days is caused by the fact that the author, the pro ‘ducers, and the directgr have visualized the fictional ‘character of their story too closely,” Thalberg adds. ;‘j“bflen they actually are visualizing three different characters and naturaily no actor is going to satisfy all of them. ° “But I feel certain that Hollywood has a player ‘Wwho could do that characterization and do it well.” - Rieardo Cortez may be a big shot in sqgme gquar tors, but there’s one hat check girl in town whom he can’t impress at all. In one of the popular night spots recently the actor asked the girl to sew the tack loop in his overcoat, She replied that she had no needle and thread. - Then Cortez demanded that the coat be put on a hanger and was told that she had no hanger. So he insisted that she carefully fold the coat and was politely infor.ned that if he wanted the coat folded F- ~-w'd better do it himself. A SECOND TERM FOR TALMADGE The clouds of opposition on the political horizon in Georgia seem to have passed, leaving a clear sky for Governor Tal madge’s re-election without opposition. Governor Talmadge has to his credit, a most remarkable record, in that he has filled every campaign pledge and carried out the mandates of the party’s platform. Possessing courage and determination, he has not faltered in what he believed to be his duty, but has gone forward regard- Jess of conseguences, and in a wholeheart ed way has accomplished his objectives. Not that we endorse everything he has done, in fact, some of his acts in the past have elicited our disapproval, but his cour age and fighting qualities are to be ad mired and respected. The masses of the people love a fighter, and for that reason, Governor Talmadge has not only held his former supporters, but thousands of Geor gians who were among his opponents two years ago are now his allies. ’ The recent endorsement accorded him by the Georgia Congress of Parents and Teachers and eminent educators indicates a wide snread of popularity among those interested in the schools and the institu tions of higher education. Governor Talmadge is using every re source at his command to free the state from debt and to balance the budget, prior to his retirement from office. With this accomplishment, the school teachers, the eleemosynary institutions, the Confederate veterans and the institutions of higher ed ucation will all receive past due appropri ations which is largely for salaries, with the exception of the amount due the veter ans. To accomplish these purposes, Gov ernor Talmadge asks the people to elect men to both branches of the legislature who will support his policies. With a ma jority of the members of the General As sembly of Georgia in svmpathy with this program, this state can be rid of debt and placed on a sound and substantial basis. CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS The CCC recovery act has proved not only a success insofar as the work carried on by these young men is concerned, but it has been the agency through which the families of these young men have benefit-’ ted over $60,000,000 and $255,000,000, of which more than two-thirds has found its‘ way into all channels of commerce and in dustry. 600,000 young men have been em ployed in its operation, and at present time and until the end of this month, there will be employed 310,000. At that time, no doubt,. arrangements will be made to carry on this work. In the saving of forests and protecting them from fires, these workers have contributed a vast amount. In speaking of this feature of the bene-l fits derived from the CCC workers, Secre tary Wallace, said: “The fire record for! 1933 is one of the -best ever recorded. Damage was approximately $325,000, which is less than 17 per cent of the an nual fire loss during the previous five-year period”. Continuing, Secretary Wallace, gaid: “The corps had made possible the start of the first large scale, mass attack on the white pine blister rust disease in the forests of the Pacific northwest where the disease has continued to spread and wipe out the entire white pine lumber industry”. Besides these workers have planted 72,- 000,000 trees during the year. In addition to the enrolled workers, 14,- 000 experienced foresters and technical experts have supervised the work and 3,- 600 revorve officers have directed the camps. In fact, the young men employed in these camps were those who had de pendents and the relief that their families have received from their pay, has, in many instances, saved thousands from suffering for the necessities of life, food and cloth ing. Commencing the first of May, funds have been made available for the next six months and at the end of that period, it is believed that the government will man age to extend the time fol another six months period. With the various measures functioning, the country is bound to regain normalcy and all lines of business and industry be restored to its former substantial condi tion. . TOO MANY LEGAL HOLIDAYS - While this country and especially the states are burdened with legal holidays, there is, however, one day in the year that should be observed as a national holiday, with all the states participating in its cel ebration. That day is Armistice Day, No vember 11. For some reason, congress has never designated it as a legal holicay, but a numbey of the states have. Only last week, the legislature of New York enacted a bill designating this day as a legal holi day. The bill has been signed by Gover nor Lehman and it is now a law in that state. There are a number of legal holidays in this state that should be abolished. Holi days provided for by legislative enactment have become a fad and their creation without rhyme or reason, but Armistice Day, of all days for celebration, should be designated as a holiday and observed in true and patriotic style. Of world wide importance, this day should not be allowed to go unobserved while there are other holidays appearing on the calendar that are not deserving of celebration. Georgia should follow New York state, when the tlegislature convenes in January and desig [nate November 11 as a holiday in com ‘memoration of the world’s greatest war and greatest victory making the world safe for Democracy.

DID IT EVER OCCURTOYOU - - A Little of Everything, Not Much of Anything By HUGH ROWE The 1935 session of the leg islature promises to be one of the most hectic this state has experienced since 1907 session ~ when the state prohibition law was passed. The bill was not passed = until late in the evening. Debates were the order of the day and evening sessions. Joe Hill Hall known as the “watch dog” of the treasury, opposed the passage of the prohibition bill and Seab Wright, of Rome, championed its passage. These men, both of whom have passed on, were giants in intellect and oratory and when they met on the floor of the House, it was 'a tossup for the edge in the debate. John M. Sia ton was the Speaker of the House. He sat in the chair throughout the day and evening sessions, making numerous rulings on points of law. and parliamentdry practice. Murphy Candler was one of the authors of the prohibition hill. The arguments pro and con became bitter and several times during the day and evening = partisans of the measure came near to blows. It was an exciting session. During the debate between Rep rsentative Wright and Hall, Mr. Wright passed the lie and as quick as a panther, Mr. Hall leaped over his desk and attacked Mr. Wright. Mr. Hall was a powerful man, athletic in build and physi cally fit to enter a prize ring and hold his own with the best of fighters. While on the other hand, Mr. Wright was a very small man, frail in appearance, but wiry and as active as a cat. He met Mr. Hill half way, but friends inter vened and no blows were passed but apologies were offered by Mr. Wright. 4 After the session had ad journed, a crowd of the prohi bition sympathizers gathered in the Kimball house, elated over their victory some of them . were inclined to criticise Speak er Slaton. ’ ; Murphy Chandler, representative from Dekalb county and one of the authors of the bill, addressed the critics and in hig plain matter of fact way, said to them: “Let me tell {you something—just such people as you all are came near defeating the bill. If I had been in the chair today and tonight, 1 would not have allowed the bill to pass. Speaker Slaton has been more than fair to our side and such eriticisms as some of you are mak ing are not only unjust, bug with out foundation of fact,” The com plainers hushed anq silently pass ed out of the rotunda of the hotel. Since that time the writer of this column has held Murphy Chandler in high esteem and admiration. He is a broad and liberal minded man and one in whom the people of the state have much confidence. From reports received around the capitol, it is generally believed that one of the first bills to be introduced will be for the repeal of the “bone-dry” iaw in Georgia. Tt is argued that whiskey is being sold by bootleggers from which no revenue is received by the state. ‘lt is not proposed to permit the ;establishment of saloons or to le galize the sale of whiskies by the drink, but all sales must be in packages, pints and quarts, except in hotels and restaurants where such beverages may be sold by the |drink, but not dispensed over the Icounter as in former days of the | har-room. No doubt the bill will create much opposition in both branches of the legislature, and _the prohibition question may be injected inta the races for the legislature, ~ 'The dispensary syStem, to our way of thinking, is the solution of the evil. Whiskies, wines and beers should be sold under the control of the &tate and municipal laws 2nd ordinances, and whatever profits arising _ therefrom such sales be .prorated on an equitable basis between the county and muhnicipality, In this way, the tax rate could be materially reduced. Besides under - local government control, disorder and objectionable piaces could be eliminated and the spirit of the law enforced. We hope that the state will never li cense saloons again, but we are in saver of the repeal of the pres ent law and the sale of intoxicants restricted tc package goods, except as we have sard,” in the case of hotels and restaurants where meals are rserved.

For “White Collar” ' Workers in America PITTSBURGH.—(/P)—A call to arms for the long-suffering “white collar” workers, the millions of middle class men who are flanked on one side by capital and the other by labor, was sounded Thursday by Eugene A. Holland, Pittsburgh insurance man. . Announcing the formation of the White Collar League of America, a non-profit, incorporated organ ization designed “to work in the interests and for the welfare of that great group of United States citizens commonly known as the ‘white collar' class,” Holland said the idea was born from watching a “two year parade of hopeful ness.” . Holland, president of the organ jzation, described the League as follows: : “This 'is. .no . racket, .It i a straight, clean-cut proposition. The wheel that squeaks ‘gets the most grease. That's why so much publicity ~has ‘' been given to the capitalist, the laborer and the farmer. The long-suffering and silent “white collar class must be protected.” He said there are 15,- 000,000 potential members. Nazi Leader’s Stand Dims German Hopes For Kaiser’s Return BERLIN.—(P)—A Nazi leader’s stern stand against monarchism dimmed further Thursday the hopes of those Germans who long for restoration of the imperial Hohenzollern dynasty. “The imperial crown lies on the battlefield,” warned Captain Ernst Roehm, leader of the brown shirted Nazi storm troopers. Then he added significantly: “T doubt whether the German people wish to fight for it there.” Captain Roehm uttered “the warning in an address to foreign correspondents and diplomats Wednesday night in which he dis cussed Nazi ideals with particular reference to the functions of the group he heads. “If the German people wish to give themselves an overlord again they would do so against, rather than in behalf of, reactionaries,” he declared.
