F.B.I. CONTINUES TO
LEAD WAY AGAINST CRIME
F.B.I. are three letters to conjure with in this coun-
try. No one realizes that more than those who have
committed crimes that fell to the lot of this organiza-
tion for solution. In finding the body of Jimmy Cash,
Florida kidnap victim, this arm of law enforcement
; demonstrated its skill. Solution of the crime is cer-
tain with the Federal men concentrated in the area
near the victim's home.
There is no doubt but what J. Edgar Hoover
and his staff of men are responsible for keeping
down all manner of crime. Were it not for the
systematic manner in which they have developed
criminology, the country would suffer from gang-
dom's murderous rule. For not only has the F.B.I,
brought numerous criminals to justice but it has
exerted a beneficial influence on every other branch
of law enforcement in the country.
Considering these circumstances it seems rather
short-sighted for congress to have over-looked the need
of the F.B.I, for funds. An oversight that had to be
brought to its attention in order to get proper action.
It is even possible that the Bureau might not have
, gotten an appropriation than except for two unsolved
kidnapings of children. So far the F.B.I, has been kept
beyond the pale of politics. And this may be one rea-
son why it works so effectively in protecting the na-
tion against the world's most dangerous crime pur-
veyors.

NATURE RULES
WHATEVER MAN MAY DO
It's no unadulterated chagrin a man always feels
on the occasions when nature throws a casual monkey
wrepch into the machinery of his highly mechanized
world.
Sometimes it makes him feel a little more at home
—itiputs him in his place: a place he had almost for-
gotten, but fe^ls attached to somehow.
The liner Queen Mary had a distressing experi-
ence the other night. She found it impossible to dock
at Cherbourg, despite all the elaborate, foolproof ma-
chinery in her brain. It twas simply that the wind
was tbo high. The liner Normandie, another awe-in-
spiring behemoth, had a similar difficulty not long
before that in New York. She found herself tied hand
and foot by a passing fog, and had no choice but to
sit down and twiddle her thumbs.
The skippers and passengers aboard those vessels
probably derived little pleasure from the incidents.
Reading about the occurrences, however, one discovers
a certain odd and possibly perverse feeling of satisfac-
tion arising.
It's something like the feeling that comes when a
child's questions confound a scientist, when the ma-
chinery of warfare is halted by the rainy season, when
the machinery of state jams into that money wrench
called human nature.

WASHINGTON — Ger-
many while planning what
to do about Czechoslovak-
ia and other European prob-
lems. also is compelled to
give a little attention to the
Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The SEC is waiting for an
anticipated new offer of Ger-
man bonds as payment of in-
terest on German securities
held in this country. The
Nazi government won't al-
low German debtors to pay
money on these bonds; it
takes the money itself and
then feeds out still more
paper to the bondholders
which it promises will ma-
ture years hence.
SEC officials have decid-
ed American investors are
entitled to fullest possible
knowledge of the financial
condition of the Reich be-
fore they decide whether to
accept such bonds as interest
payment. In the registration
statement which accompa-
nies any future issue of the
sort it will demand a full
statement of the so-called
German "secret debt," the
full national debt as it ex-
ists following the gobbling of
Austria and other details
Germany previously has
been unwilling to give.
SEC Get ling More Hard-
boiled
The present offer of "con-
version" bonds expires
July 1. It was ®n issue of.
$69,000,000 of 3 per cent
bonds maturing in 1946, to
apply as interest due on
120 German security issues.
The German government's
registration statement show-
ed more than 14 billion
reichsmarks of national debt.
SEC asked how about at
least five billions more of
obligations known to have
existed in 1935. German
agents replied in effect that
those were "obligations,
not debt." SEC in March,
1937, decided to let the state-
ment ride, feeling that the
bonds were all investors
were likely to get, in any
event
Now, perhaps because of
a feeling that Hitler deser-
ves no special favors, SEC
is more hardboiled. It refus-
ed to let the old statement
stand for May and June and
will demand an entirely dif-
ferent one for any future
German issues.
It costs more to live in
Washington than in any oth-
er American city, according
to government surveys. A
study covering 59 cities, sel-
ected with geographical
evenness, showed it cost
$1414.54 to support a four-
person manual worker's fam-
ily at a maintenance level
in 1935.
The lowest-cost city was
Mobile, Al., where the fig-
ure was found to be $1013.98.
Anyone planning to move to
a l>ig city may be interested
in figures for some of them:
San Francisco $1380.87, New
York $1375.13, Chicago
$1356.11, Boston $1352.77,
Cleveland $1348.33. S t.
Louis $1 33 9.55, Detroit
$1317.35, Los Angeles $1308.-

Champion For Black
Local prestige of Justice
Hugo Black, recently at-
tacked in a magazine arti-
cle as judicially competent,
has been boosted considerab-
ly by Dr. Walton Hale Ham-
ilton's recent analysis of
Black's opinions and dissent-
ing opinions, appearing in
the New Republic magazine.
Unlike most foes and parti-
sans of Black, Hamilton
read all the opinions.
He says Black's judicial
philosophy is "mature, well
thought out and mindful
alike of the law of the
land and the necessities of
the people," that Black
"strips aw .y verbiage and
lays the issues bare", that
"he is elc .ei* to his times
than any of his brethren"
and that "if there were a
grand prize for the jurist's
art. the award of 1938 should
go to Hugo Lafayette Blai

Hamilton, a Yale profess-
or of law since 1928, is nat-
ionally known in the acade-
mic field and highly esteem-
ed in Washington. He has
been a professor of econo-
mics and of political science,
a member of the National
Industrial Recovery Board
which replaced General
Johnson, American delegate
to the International Labor
Office and director of the
Social Security Board's
bureau of research and stat-
istics. Hundreds of his
former pupils in law and eco-
nomics are known as "Ham-
iltonians."

By PAUIj HARBISON
HOLLYWOOD — A few men-
behind-the-screen:
Gene Fowler—A top-notch no-
velist and scenarist, Fowler
seems to get his most fun from
dashing off topical, satirical and
wholly unprintable poetry. Be-
fore beginning a story, he warms
up by writing a poem.
He is absent-minded and often
forgets the names of the char-
acters in his pictures. And some-
times he grabs the telephone
directory instead of the diction-
ary, and hunts through it for a
word.
.One day Fowler met a man
who seemed to be an old friend,
but the name escaped him and
he groped for a clew by chat-
ting of various people.
"Have you heard whatever be-
came of Eddie Kane?" the writ-
er asked.
"Why, he's talking to a mud-
dle-headed lug named Gene Fow-
ler," said Eddie Kane.
Fashion Plate—Kind of
Mitchell Leisen — A director
who likes to act and to dress
up. Leisen owns a clothing
store, but wears out all the
profits.
He once designed costumes for
Cecil DeMille, and he generally
is assigned to costume musi-
cals when there are any to di-
rect. He now is making "Ar-
tists and Models." He's the only
director who wears shorts on
hot days on the set. But once,
filming a night club scene, he
appeared in a maroon velvet
Tuxedo.
Shirting To Shooting
Archie Mayo — The worst-
dressed director in Hollywood,
Mayo goes around the studio
in voluminous, unpressed pants,
a sweat shirt and bedroom slip-
pers.
He keeps his companies in
good humor by getting off gas,
and his jokes are responsible
for his being in Hollywood to-
WoCviep A? A SODA JEGKEG.

day. Mayo was a shift sales-
man, and his customeis kept
telling him that he was so fun-
ny he ought to be on tie stage. (
He came to the movie japital
instead, as a gag man.
Tlie Glower Champ
Wesley Ruggles — A brother
of Charles Ruggles, thj come-
dian, Wesley is a moody man
who always seems to be angry
about something.
While directing dramatic
scenes he insists on a funereal
quiet that makes his players
jittery. When a scene is being
played badly he turns his back
to the set but does not stop
the action.
Ruggles used to be an actor,
starting as a cop in some of
the early Charley Chaplin com-
edies. Although he and his
brother both worked for Para-
mount for years, Wesley never
has directed Charles.
Horizontal Worker
Samuel lloffenstein — He
has written some books of ex-
cellent light verse, "Poems in
Praise of Practically Nothing"
being one of them.
lloffenstein also writes screen
plays, and has just finished the
one for "The Great Waltz." He
lies on a couch and dictates to
a dignified secretary.
Lots of people have asked him
why he ever consented to work
in Hollywood after he had gain-
ed a reputation for literary
sophistication. lloffenstein al-
ways asks, in reply, "Lave you
ever noticed the size of a roy-
alty check on a book of poetry?"
Father Of Local
Women Succumbs
Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Neal
Davison received word Thurs-
day of the death of their father,
.1. W. Carroll, Menard. ?hey left
early in the day to at:end the
funeral, which probably will be
held today.
