CATTON’S COMMENT |
BY BRUCE CATTON =
How far is a policeman entitled to go when he
bumps into a man known to be a desperado, but
whom the courts can never seem to touch?
Police Commissioner Valentine of New York hasg
the idea that the cop can go just about as far as
he likes. He complains that has police have been
too polite to racketeers, gunmen, and such like, and
he wants to see these gentlemen mussed up a little
The commissioner expressed himself in this vein
after, watching a man named Harry Strauss brough
into.a police lineup at headquarters. g
Strauss has been arrested 18 times in the la:
geven years, on charges ranging all the way from
homigide to possessing narcotics, He has never
been eonvicted of anything, however, and when he‘
was pinched he gave his occupation as a house
painter. l
He came in dressed like a fashion-plate, and it|
was ' hig sartorial magnificence that exasperated the
commissioner. «
“Phis man is a pald assassin,” said the commis
sioner:~ “Men like him shouid be marked and mussed
up. ‘Blood should be smeared all over that velvet
collarelnstead, he looks as if he has just got out of
a batber's chair)’ * . §
Very: few persons will quarrel with this idea, in
itself. Unfortunately, when’ the police set out to
muss people up, they aren’t usually very discrimi
nating. ;
Fretty soon it is the minor offender who gets muss
ed u,p, then, after a while, some.totally innocent by
stander is arrested by mistake and gets rather
frightfully mussed up before he can convincg the
cops that it’s all a mistake - |
Ffor that reason, telling any police departmen!
to be. hrutal is a mistake. The brutality is certain
to hit the wrong parties, sooner or later.
» Neyertheless, we haven't answered the com
missioner when we say his idea is dangerous. We
must-find some way of taking care of these outlaws
who-can be arrested 18 times and yet remain free
to follow their own devices.
Sopnething pretty shocking must be wrong with
our criminal law and our method of administering
it when a_man can be accused three times of homi
cide; six times of carrying a guh, and nine times of
felonies, ranging from grand larcey to assault, with
out leven 80 much as standing trial before a jury.
S? long as such conditions obtain, the police are
going to be brutal out of sheer exasperation. We
can ‘never abolish the third degree until we takg a
t'e\_v.‘ _the kinks out of our system of handling
m\# pafsons after they have been arrested.
' Having persuaded the people of his home state to
try i far-reaching reform in substitution of a single
chamber state legislature for the traditional two
chamiber body, Senator George W. Norris, of Ne
b@:fia is now planning to offer a much-needed re
forne to the nation as a whole.
What the senator proposes to do is simply to
ab:&h the electoral eollege. His scheme would not
by down state lines, in the final count; but it
WO make the electoral vote a far more accurate
x’ef;%tion of the popular will, since each state’s vote:
wouldl pe pro-rated among the candidates on the
basis of theip record at the polls. |
Itis hard to think of any very good argumen ‘
p,ga:bst this reform., The electoral college is not
only®a cumbersome anachronism; it actually makee‘
it pOssible for a man to be elected president by a
minerity of the country's voters. |
It is high time the system was changed, and Sen
:tor. Norrig’ plan for changing it looks as good as
ny.
Now that the smoke of the football season is dyi
away, it is worth while to heed some remarks made
,ecen'dy by President James Rowland Angell of Yale
on the subject of intercollegiate athletics.
~ “Dhe.young man who wishes to give all his tim¢
and “energy to sports is quite entitled to do so, i |
he cdn afford it,” says President Angell, “but he has 1
no flace in a really reputable college where intellec
fiua]-’development is the primary concrn, ‘
"%A coilegiate institution of which this is not true
is a traitor to its trust.”
‘This provides about as-good a yardstick for the
!heafi\wement of “overemphasis” as you could wish.
College, in other words, is a place for study, and
. football is a game the students play in their spare
time, for fun.
i 'i‘& college which enrolls students who are there
primarily to play football, and who accept college
‘ v'vori as a necessary evil is, as President Angell
' ?ys,f heing false to its trust. i
" The financial angle of the farm program is inter
glflni Newest figures released in Washington show
that farmers participating in the ecrop adjustment‘
programs have received, to date, slightly more than

CRIMINAL CONFERENCE CALLED
Attorney General Homer S. Cummings
has called a conference of law enforce
ment officers, including representatives of
;the police and detective departments of
'lmunlcipalities, county and state officers
for the purpose of planning and adopting
'a program for the better enforcement of
’the law and for running down and arrest
ing violators of the law.
~ Attorney General Cummings is in favor
of organizing and establishing a national
crimiological institute where officers can
have the benefit of better training and re
ceiving instructions in the best methods for
prevention of crime. It is believed that
such an institution would aid materially in
fitting the average officer for coping with
crime and criminals. The government in
Washington is in sympathy with the sug
gestion of Attorney General Cummings,
and when the conference convenes next
week, it is expected that definite action
will be taken to insure the establishmentl
of such an institute.
President Roosevelt will be present atl
the conference, and urge and co-operate
in every way with Attorney General Cum-'
mings in the establishment of the proposed |
organization for the advancement of crim
inal prosecution and for the conviction of
criminals, |
The establishment of such an institute,
its operation and the teaching of criminol
ogy is of potential importance to the peo
ple 'of the whole nation. It will act as a!
clearing house for the reduction of crimel‘
made up of reports from local, state andi
federal sources. Finger printing will be
~ne of the chief features of the teaching in l
the institute. Such records from all sources
of information will be kept on file in the
home office in Washington, which will be‘
anbject to insvection and use by all mem
bers of the organization. |
COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING
Occasionn]l cases arise in some of the
universities where students decline to take
military training. A few years ago, at the
University of Maryland, one young man re
fused to enter the military training depart
ment of that university. His case was car
ried to the Supreme Court of that state
but the court refused to review and the
voung man was expelled from the school. I
Another case of similar character hasl
arisen at the University of California. Two
members of the student body asked to bel
exempted from military training on the|
ground that they believed training for war
was immoral, in violation of the Kellogg—l
Briand pact to outlaw war,
The university autkorities took the 00-1
«ition that it was entirely in the jurisdic
tion of the school whether to require such®
training and thot no federal question was
involved, even though the national govern
ment had granted land and money to aid
in founding the institution. The decision
of the court was based on ‘“whether mili
t{ary training at land grant colleges was
repugnant to the privileges and immunity
and the due process clauses of the several
constitutions”.
Continuing, the decision read: “While
students have the right to a religious belief
nnder the constitution they have no right
to insist that they are entitled to compel
the university to excuse them from taking
military training”. Closing its decision,
the court, said: ““Privilege of conscientious
objectors to refuse to bear arms comes
from congress and not from the constitu
tion. If congress decides to grant immunityJ
that is a matter within its power”,
The foregoing decision from the Supreme
court of the United States should be suf
ficient information to all young men who
are inclined to oppose military training.
Such action on the part of young men can
not be condoned or defended by those op—l
posing military training in the colleges and
universities of this country. |
ARE WE PREPARED FOR CHARITY?
The winter months are upon us. From
now until the soring season there will be
many families here, worthy and deserving
of aid, who will be calling upon the chari
table agencies for relief. It is true that the
federa! government, through its agencies
of relief is doing much for these unfortu
nate people, but it must be remembered
that unless local institutions, municipal
and county contribute their share, there
is bound to be suffering in this community
this winter,
We are not informed as to the assets or
liabilities resting upon the distributors of
aid, but unless there is a sufficiency of
funds on hand, then there shonuld be a con
certed movement inaugurated that wonld
insure additional subscriptions for relief
purposes. If such a'condition does exist
here, it is hich tiine for steps to be taken
to raise additional finds for this pnrnose.
Those charged with the responsibilitv of
caring for the needy should not bhe timid in
letting it be known the amount that will
he necessary to provide for all snch de
pendents in the wav of food, clothing,
medicine and fuel. Another vear may find
econditions wonderfullv improved. but un
il there is a substantial chanee in the af
fairs of commerce and industry, there is
hound to be an increased demand for aid.
No one should be allowed to go huneory
or to suffer from cold for the lack of cloth
ing and frel. The vneople of Athens are
cenerons hearted and a call sent ont for
relief, we feel certain would be met with
a liberal resnomse, However. that matter
is a resnonsihility of the relief agencies,
local and federal, and to snch acencies the
citizenship is looking to for relief. ;

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
By HUGH ROWE
= G b
The announcement that the
Boy Scouts organization here
will be continued will be a
source of much interest and
pleasure on the part of the
citizenship of Athens.
The Boy Scouts work here has
been of much importance and
value to the boys of this commus
nity. Its teachings and training
have been helpful to the boys in
character building and otherwise
im‘x'ovlng body and mind. Such
an organization is of much value
to the community in that it serves
a field for boy training that helps
to build and imprvoe citizenship.
The Boy Scouts here have been
of much service in wvarious ways
in serving civic entertainments
and otherwise taking part in
movements of interest to the
whole community.
l The program adopted at the
meeting Tuesday evening pro
' vides for the employment of a -
. full time Scoutmaster or exe
cutive, the territory taking in
Toccoa and Gainesville.
~ With new life enthused into the
lorganization, it is believed that
the local Boy Scouts will be of
.greater service to the community
than ever before. While the trou
ble hertofore has been occasionéd
from the lack of funds, public
spirited citizens are greatly inter
ested in the ' organization, and
Lthey will see to it that whatever
funds are needed will be forth
coming when the proper -time ar:
rives.
We cannot imagine any
training and teaching that is
of more value to young boys
than that which they received
from services as members of
Scout troops.
The principles incorporated in
the work of Boy Scouts are ideal
for the building of character that
will live with young boys into
manhood and throughout life. The
teaching and training received
while young is bound to be help
‘ful to these boys after they have
grown to, matunjty. It is an insti
tution for boys and their work
from which material benefits are
bound to come. Let us hope that
the reorganization plans will be
successful and that the citizens of
Athens will see to it that suffi
cient funds are provided to carry
on the work in an elaborate man
ner. :
There is much speculation
around the state capitol as to
what will and what won't be
done by the legislature when
"~ it convenes next month.
However, all seem. to agree
that it is a Talmadge legislature
and that the governor will be able
to get through both houses all of
his measures advocated during the
last election. It is believed that
action in removing the members
of the Public Service Commission
and his executive order reducing
the price of automobile tags to
three dollars wlil be ratified. His
‘proposal for the creation of the
‘office of lientenant-governor,
whose dutiés will be to preside
over the senate will be enacted

NEW YORK — You hear a good
deal of the fortunes garnered by
the Vallees and Whitemans in the
melo’dy-dispensing business. You
hear a lot less about the boss mu
sic-merchant of them all, who could
‘buy out the Maestros Rudy and
Paul and stiil have enough left
over to staff a dozen jazz sympho
nies
The. name is. Meyer Davis. You
hay have heard 4 great many of
his bands without ever . having
seen Maestro Davis himself. See
ing him is mot much of an experi
ence anyway. He is tal] and husky
and baldish, with a seven-inch grin
and an air of complete assurance,
and he plays tennis about as skill
ful as he plays the fiddle.
_ Maestro Meyer is not a great
musician, and he would be one of
the first to amid it. Musicians
are a dime a' dozen, as anyone can
testify who has strolled through
the throng of bandsmen cluttering
the west side of Longacre Square
every afternoon. Davis is a busi
nessman,
"His most fortunate mistake
came when he got a job as a re
porter in Washington. One night
at a newspaperman’s ball he tried
leading the orchestra and his boss
darkly hinted that maybe he’d bet
ter keep right on leading it. So
he organized a band (this was 20
years ago, when the ragtime rage
was just getting under way) and
soon found himself on Broadway.
Blew His Own Horn
-By seeking the right engage
ments, and knowing the right peo
ple, Davis has become society's
favorite tune broker, He has play

Roosevelt. He has helped bring out
more heiress-debs than you could
shake a gold-headed evening stick
at. The other day he signed an
agreement t oplay for the New
Year’s party of the Fitz Eugene
Dixon’s in 1936. He has nearly 100
orchestras at work in New York
and other American cities. |

‘Textile Conditions
l Under NRA Improved,
~ George Sloan Says
NEW YORK.~—(#)—Under the
NRA, competitvie conditions in
the mnation’s cotton textile indus
try have improved, George A.
Sloan, president of the Cotton
Textile Institute, declared Wed
nesday.
Speaing at the annual meeting
of the institute, Sloan said: “By
the code, we attempted (o create
conditions under which competi
tion could function in a healthy
manner. We have made improve
ments, we are learning by experi
ence, much remains to be accom
i plished.”
Reviewing the ‘past year in the
industry, Sloan discussed the ef
fect of the textile ecode, the pro-}
cessing tax and the recent tex
tile strike. ‘
The code, he said, had relieved
the pressure toward minimuin
wages, equalized conditions of
competition and enabled the in
dustry to re-absorb its unemploy
ed.
Machine-hour limitations had
brought the available capacity of
the industry more nearly into
balance with available demand’
Sloan said, thus mitigating some-#
what the effects of the over-ca
pacity of the industry, . .
“For 1933 and the first six
months of 1934,” he added; “we
believe that the inquiries now be
ing made by the Federal Trade
Commission will show some profit
to the industry as a whole.”
This would contrast, he pointed
out, with a net loss for the indus
try of $75,000,000 for the years of
1926 to 1931 inclusive. : |
Sloan said that certain devélop=<
ments during the past six months |
had exerted a deleterious effect
on the cotton business, He llsted'
as these developmenes a general}
reaction in bhusiness confidence, a
reaction irom buying, loss of ex
port markets and the p'roéessingi

Harmonions Business
You've heard of Glen Gray and
his- Casa Loma orchestra: Gray
doesn’t own it. He doesn’'t even
direct it, He just happens to be
the presidént of the corporation
which is owned and controlled by
the musicians. Gray sings now and
then, but when he isn't warbling
he plays a saxophone and the first
violinist does the conducting. It's
the only self-governed band in big
time.
One more note from Tin Pan
Alley, and this one about Don
Bestor, almost as old a veteran
as Meyer Davis. Bestor is a som
bre gnd bespectacled fellow; does
n’'t look in the least like a rajah
of hot-cha. Officials of New York's
musicians’ union were pretty stern
when he appeared before them.
“Why,” said one of them, bluntly
‘have you come to Manhattan?”
“Well,” said Bestor, “I've been
rehearsing for sixteen years in
towns such as Pittsburgh, Chicago
and Atlantic City. I figured it was
about time to try for g job on
Broadway."
