WASHINGTON, —Now that the
pemocratic party's national or
«nization is embarking on a
Give to wipe out that $500,000 de
fi‘(_il by the early part of this year,
vou may expect the demands to b 2
redoubled that Postmaster Gen
eral Jim Farley step out of either
one of his twin jobs.
Last fall, when the D2mocrats
made a convulsive effort to get out
of debt, there was a great deal of
criticism of the fact that the man
who was asking for the money as
chairman of the Demoeratic Na
tonal Committee was also the
postmaster general.
spasmodic efforts have been
made from time to time to pry na
tional committecen out of all con
pection with the actual govern
ment, and some progress was made
in forbidding th-m to practice as
Jawyers before the government de
partments, (But Farley hasn’t
budged.
Republicans and even a few of
ihe more squeamish Deéemocrats are
going to Jjoin in the chorus this
time, But it's a long time until 1936
when Farley could make the race
for governor of New York as has
heen suggested (Governor Lehmann
is supposed to look favorably on
Farley as his heir apparent) and
Farly is one of the better sitter-‘
tighters.
He'll probably just laugh off the
attacks, as he is also one of the |
better laugher-offers.
Residents of the District of Col
umbia are considerably smokeg up
by the prospect of voting ah last.‘
Of course you know that residents
of Washington (the stepchild city)
don't vote. But Senator Capper has
promised to push kis bill allowing
Washingtonians to elect their own
school board.
Never a congressional session
goes by without some proposal to
give the vote to votless District
residents, Capper's present propo
sal would gt least allow them to go
through the motions on so purely
local an issue as their sehool board,
Don't be surpriseq if the Civil
jan Conservation Corps is increased
to as many as a million men this
summer. It now has about 370,000
men in 1728 camps. It expires
March 31 unless Congress extends
its life,
Nothing is surer wown ere,
however, than that it not only will
be extended, but greatly inereased
in numbers, with the agée limit
raised probably from 25~te 30.
The CCC has had more univer
sal approval than almost any other
of the New Deal agencies, and it
offers a great chance te take up
some more of that wuiremployed
slack in a popular manner.
Forester Silcox has been work
ing out data that shows how a
great deal more forest work than
has ever yet been attempted can
be done on a profitable basis (so
cially profitable, at least, and per
haps profitable in dollars and
centd),
The Forest Service, which for
vears had the problem of trying
to figure out how to get its most
vital work done with too few men
10 qo it, has for the last year been
desperately figuring how to make
the best use of the great number of
men available for forest ' work
througp the CCC,
It's done a great job of it, too.

Christians Have Misjudged
Pilate, Dr. Harlow Asserts
Says Few Will_Jeopardize
Their Interests to Defend
Jesus’ Principles.
History has misjudged Pontius
Pilate, the Roman judge who de
livered Jesus to the mob to be cru
cified, Dr. S. Ralph Harlow, pro
fessor of religion and biblical lit
erature at Smith college declared
at the First Methodist church yes
terday morning.
Dr.' Harlow expressed the opin
ion that history has probably been
unjust to Pilate by picturing him
as it has, but that as a matter of
fact most Christians today, placed
in a comparable situation would
act exactly as Pilate did—yield to
prejudice when backed by econo
mic or political power. It is Ir.
Harlow's Dbelief that Pilate was
an honest judge, no doubt proud
of the Roman system of justice.
He imag.natively pictured Pilate
in college of today, excelling in his
studies, leading in the debating so
cieties, perhaps an outstanding
athlete. As a m¥n Pilate was no
doubt upright, a dutiful hus-b{nd
and kind father. He was not the
heartless, habitually unjust crea
ture which thousands of sermons
have pictured him gs being. As |
a judge Pilate no doubt sought to
mete out justice, zealous of the
integrity of the court over which
he presided. But in dealing with
the case of Jesus, Pilate saw that
the mob was strong, deeply pre
judiced and determined. Believ
ing Jesus to be an innocent man,
Pilate yet sensed that his own
popularity would be jeopardized if
he released Jesus. SSo he washed
his hands of the entire matter, al
lowing the mob to have its way.
Dr. Harlow, who is guest speak
er for “Religious Emphasis”’ week
at the University of Georgia spoke
three times yesterday. His first
address was delivered at a meet
ing of the University class at the

his wite arter April Z, 1932, the
day on which Coionel Charles A.
Lindbergh paid $50,000 ransom in
a futile effort to recover his kid

1t was Hauptmann's expenditure
of a sl% gold note, a ransom bill,
tor gasoline, that led to his arrest
in the Bronx, and to .is subse
quent indictment as the Kidnaper
and murderer of the Lindbergh
lbaby.
William E. Frank, United States

stand gave this account of Haupt
