NEW VETERANS HOSPITAL
A SWEETWATER OPPORTUNITY
Possibility that the government may establish a vet-
erans hospital in the West Texas area affords an op-
portunity for Sweetwater. Location of such an institu-
tion is most important and viewing the scene about
Sweetwater, we should have what it takes to bring the
hospital here. We have what every other West Texas
city has plus. It is that "plus" that should spur us
on to make a bid for this project, when it is announced.
We should keep our eyes open for such opportuni-
ties. Such projects add to the stature of the city
and place a stamp of approval that leads others to
follow. Sweetwater has undeniable advantages in
its geographical location with its transportation fa-
cilities affording service to every part of the coun-
try. Not only can the city serve West Texas but
the entire Southwest just as completely. Many
other factors which include a favorable climate,
bountiful water supply and all other utilities are
matched by a progressive spirit in community af-
fairs and citizenship.
Sweetwater is growing from within which is the
best possible recommendation of what it offers to
the outside world. Its growth is made possible by the
possession of advantages that are conducive to faith
jn its future.

POLITICAL COERCION IN
WPA GETS DENUNCIATION
Fair-minded citizens will certainly disapprove of the
attempt to suggest to WPA workers how they should
vote. The talk made by Aubrey Williams, assistant
administrator at Washington that those on WPA
should vote for their friends and leaders is carrying
the country a long way toward relief-fund coercion.
Such tactics will sooner or later change the entire as-
pect of the relief problem.
It is up to government officials to maintain high
ethics in the handling of relief. The billions of dol-
lars being expended must come from tax funds de-
rived from the productive wealth of the land. No
one has the right to take political advantage of cir-
cumstances surrounding administration of the
funds. The fact that Williams has been repudiated
by outstanding Democrats in the Senate should
be warning to others including high officials in
Washington.
Here you are, punsters: The other day a she-deer
entered the town of Adams, Mass., and ran into a bank.
You know—a doe.
The situation in Europe seems to be permanently
tense. What you might call past, present, and a terrible
future tense.
Backstage in Washington
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
WASHINGTON — Sena-
tor Augustine Lonergan of
Connecticut is tentatively
slated for political slaugh-
ter by Mr. Roosevelt and
his new dealers.
Tentatively only, howev-
er, because the President
is anxious not to stick his
neck out in his effort to
obtain nomination of pro-
gressive Democrats over
conservative Democrats ex-
cept in situations where lie
thinks he has a fair chance
to win.
In Connecticut, nominees
are named by party state
conventions rather than by
direct primary vote and
thus far the New Deal strat-
egists have been unable to
convince themselves that
they can find a liberal dem-
ocrat who can beat Loner-
gan.
If there is to be a new
deal candidate it probauly
will be Congressman Her-
man P. Kopplemann of Hart-
ford, a member of the house
progressive bloc.
Lonergan is in solid with
the democratic state mach-
ine despite the fact that he
opposed the Roosevelt Su-
preme Court plan anil vot-
ed against the administra-
tion reorganization bill.
But the New Deal "elimina-
tion committee" is betting
on the hope that the recent
Waterbury graft indict-
ments will sufficiently de-
moralize the state machine
to enable them to push
through their own candi-
date.
Yes, Cuminings Is
Still Going To Quit
Certain Washington cor-
respondents have develop-
ed bad cases of writing
cramp by simply reiterat-
ing the prediction that At-
torney General Homer S.
Cummings was about to re-
sign and this writer is not
altogether free of the
symptoms himself. Never-
theless the date of Cum-
mings' resignation is some-
what nearer than it ever
was before and the chance
now seems to be rather fat
that his departure will be
announced by fall.
It's more than a rumor
that Cummings and Assist-
ant Attorney General Brien
McMahon — now prosecut-
ing the Harlan coal trials
— and U. S. District Attor-
ney LaMarr Hardy of New
York will resign more or
less simultaneously and
either set up their own law
firm or join a large New
York firm already exist-
ent.
Solicitor General Robert
H. .Jackson will almost au-
tomatically be appointed to
succeed Cummings unless
Roosevelt meanwhile be-
comes convinced that Jack-

son can get the democratic
nomination for governor of
New York. Most political ob-
servers believe that the ori-
ginal promotion of Jackson
for governor flopped beyond
repair, but Jackson enthus-
iasts on the inner new deal
councils refuse to abandon
hope.
No Job In All
Tho Land?
Newspaper headings re-
cently centered attention
on one Fred Hohner an un-
employed mechanic stem-
ming from Bavaria who had
never worked long enough
in one place to attain his de-
sire of becoming an Ameri-
can citizen.
Frugal Fred has worked
about two years in a WPA
transient camp and saved
$450. Congress voted to kick
aliens off the rolls and he
was turned loose in 1937.
After spending all but $112
of his savings while look-
ing for work Hohner sent
$100 to Administrator Har-
ry Hopkins which he said
was to pay for 100 non-work-
ing days he had spent at a
federally financed shelter
house while awaiting an as-
signment.
Local relief authorities
in Newark, N. J., compelled
to take care of Hohner, tart-
ly demanded to know why
Hopkins didn't return the
money, but the law appeared
to require Hopkins to turn
it over to the treasury.
Hohner received nation-
wide publicity and was in-
troduced to the country over
a national radio hookup pro-
gram as a most deserving
citizen who needed a job.
But at last reports no one in
the whole United States had
offered Fred Hohner any
kind of work whatever and
he was still on relief in
Newark.

Backwards
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
More than 3,000 pounds of ar-
senic was used by farmers in
nearby communities in combat-
ing grasshoppers. The ton and
one half used would poison 23
million persons, Dr. A. H. Fort-
ner, health officer said.
* * *
Sweetwater had deeded to the
i John R. Lewis school a block of
I land lying south of the build-
ing, which was to be used for
a playground.

M. C. Manroe, owner of the
| first radio in Sweetwater was
to "set up" the receiving equip-
ment on the Walter Boothe
ranch where Shriners and their
families on an outing could hear
a program from Fort Worth.
* * *
TEN YEARS A(J()
Through efforts of the Gulf
Oil and Refining company, a
rate of 12 cents a hundred on
crude oil and 15 cents on tops
had been allowed by the State
Railroad commission for tank
carloads shipped from Pyote
and Wickett.

School authorities were dis-
cussing the possibility of con-
solidating six school districts,
Blackwell, Decker, Antelope,
Collins, Bolin and Rocky Cross-
ing, for one rural high school.
The scholastic census of the
group would total 335.
* * *
FIVE YEARS AGO
Perrin Smith, son of Dr. and
Mrs. Gary Smith had received a
scholarship valued at $250 for
his outstanding work as a jun-
ior student of Austin college,
Sherman. During his three years
he had made a straight "A" av-
erage. He majored in science
and was a student assistant.

There were seven and a half
acres of grass sodded on the
dam at Lake Sweetwater. That
was planted on one side of the
dam to prevent erosion. The
south side of the dam was
rocked.
