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.

- 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.
The word “alewife” bears no
relationship to women but is a
fish of the herring family found
along the Atlantic coast.

THE ‘BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
;}‘Call to Arms Made
. 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. '
