JOBS—THE BEST CURE FOR NATION'S UNREST (By BRUCE CATTON) Sherwood Anderson, novelist, has put in | most of this year wandering around Amer ica. talking to city people, country people,; men in breadlines, hitch-hikers and every-1 body else he could get hold of, trying to' find out if there is any sign of a revolution in this country. He reports now, in The American Spec tator, that there is not. And in explaining why there is not he touches on a point1 that most radical writers miss entirely. The situation in America, he points out, is entirely different from the situation overseas. The people are different, the country is different, the tradition is differ ent. Our great age was a building age. We built cities, railroads, factories, machines; we cut down forests, dammed up rivers, tunneled through mountains, dug ore out of the earth. We did not worry about the ories- of economics; there was a lot of work to do and we went at it feverishly,! content to tackle the job at hand. And today, says Mr. Anderson, the job-, less millions are not talking about the' "decline of capitalism," about socialism or! communism, Marxism or any other ism. Instead, he says, they are simply saying: "Give us work! Give us work! It is this damned standing still here, doing nothing, that is taking the heart out of us." Now there is an abundance of work to be done. There is, as Mr. Anderson points out, enough work left in America to keep the nation busy for a thousand years to j come. What is needed now, he asserts, is "an end to all the talk of our failure as a people, and new talk of what is to be done." Both the radical theorist looking hope fully for a spread of Marxism and the die hard Tory tjuaking in his boots lest the deluge break over him miss the point com pletely. The chief sufferers from the depression | are not in the rnood to smash things. They( aren't looking ahead to riots, military rule, a dictatorship of the proletariat and so on. They simply want to go back to work. Thej jobs are there, potentially; houses to be, built, railroads to be rehabilitated, facto ries to be overhauled, farms to be put in order, timber to be cut, canals to be dug, water-power to be harnessed. It ought not to be such an impossible job ta'get the wheels moving. o o | NEWSPAPERS' OPINIONS | o .. . .— o . SCHOOLS AND POLITICS A great deal has been said during the past few years about putting the schools and the teachers into politics. The average school man Is inclined to feel that schools should be divorced from poli tics but the requirements of the new law that sup plementary budgets must be submitted to a vote of the people throws the teacher and the schools directly into the political arena. Teachers and par ents are more interested in the schools than ever before. They are more interested in the financ ing, the purposes, the ideals, the service, the sup port and the administration of s"hools than at any time in the past. Likewise the people know more about the financing of schools than they have ever known. There will be an increase in this interest rather than a decrease. Both teachers and parents are citizens of the state who exercise, or should exercise, the right of suffrage. As citizens they are called upon to elect people to public office. It is not unnatural that they should vote for those who support the institutions they love and work for an<l to vote against those who oppose what schooLs stand for. W» may, therefore, face tho ^ , i J issue that from this time, whether we like it or not, schools will be in politics. It need not be sur prising: if this large group of parents and teachers, who are interested in schools, attempt to influence public officials and candidates for office in their way of thinking about the schools. Whether or not this will be good for the schools or good for the politics is a matter that may be debated pro and con. The fact remains, however, that the schools are in politics.—North Carolina Teacher. NEWSPAPER MORATORIUM Now that we've taken care of the banks and tho building and loan companies and the insurance companies and the farmers—does any one have any objection to some sort of a relief for the newspapers? Bad times and good, the newspaper must go on just the same. The harder the times, the greater the value of news. The newspapers must be manned. It costs just as much to get out thcf newspapers despite the fact that advertising has: dropped to a new record low ebb. But no one sheds tears for the press. News papers are supposed to cry for the relief of others, sob for the suffering in individual or corporation form, and snarl for justice and retribution. Every ache is carried to the newspapers, every complaint is given to the press, appeals for the needy, pleas for business, charitable and civic organizations, begging for political reform—all is a part of the newspaper's duty to the public. But when business falls off, advertising contracts are cancelled, and publishers are struggling for a livelihood, a sudden attack of deafness comes over the land. Why not a newspaper moratorium'.' Let every newspaper in the land close down until business picks up—if it can; close every radio station against news broad casting; allow every gossip on the townsite the freedom of the streets and tele phones; make it necessary for every politician to glorify himself single-handed; let the public do its own guessing as to what is happening through out the civilized world. Then, maybe, when the newspaper boys begin crying in the streets again there would be an ap preciation of the problems of the press. You "can't believe what you see in the paper" anyway!—Topeka (Kas.) Journal. BIG MORGAN, LITTLE OTHER FELLOWS J. P. Morgan isn't really so big as an individual, but his name is associated with Big Business as big as business has ever grown. That is probably one reason why publicity about what the Morgan firm did gets such intense at tention and creates such intense emotion among many people in this country—it was so big. Most of us recognize that the methods of Mor gan really haven't been any different from the methods of smaller business, whether in New York, or Winston-Salem, or Goldsboro, or the cross-roads where there are two stores. "The ground floor" on many a deal has been offered all over the United States for generations. Sometimes it has been a profitable one to get in on, sometimes a dead loss. In many cases, folks who have gone in on ground floors have been led in with much more attractive statements than one made by the Morgan firm to people on one of its "preferred lists" that the higher market price on the stock offered was due to the liking of people for speculation. Each one of us likes to get in "on the ground floor" and to think that he has an advantage over the general run of his fellows. Each one of us hates to think that he has been out in the cold when somebody else was on the inside warming himself. So we are delighted when senate investigators pick the biggest of them all, and we enjoy making this biggest group scape-goat for all the smaller and local groups to which most of us through our lives pay a bigger toll in dollars than to any "New York money trust" or component part thereof. Go get 'em, Pecora!—Goldsboro News-Argus. SUGGESTING TOM GRIFFITH One job that ought not to be in politics is that of chairman of the State Highway Commission, and if there is to be a big squabble over whether George Ross Pou, or E. B. Jeffress gets it, we are in favor of giving it to someone who will not con sider it a political hand»out; somebody like Frank Page, for instance. One reason for the unqualified success of the North Carolina highway system was the fact that Frank Page cared not a tinker's dam for politics, or what anybody else said. His one business was to build roads, and that he did, regardless of poli-* tics. We do not wish to see this highly important job in North Carolina turned into a political foot ball. It would be the worst thing that could hap pen to our road system. The governor could go farther and do worse, in our opinion, than naming a Mecklenburg man, Tom Griffith, for this job. This man demonstrat ed t vo or three years ago, in that county, that he could build roads and he did it to the satisfaction of thfc people of that county, country people and city people alike. He is a man of fine business judgment, keen ability and unwavering decisions. He would be an ideal man for the job, if the gov ernor wants to give it to a man who would not let politics interfere with it.—Gastonia Gazette. CONSOLATION Some express grave doubts as to whether Pas quotank will vote, in the election set for July 11, to permit pari-mutuel horse racing within its do main. If the election goes against the Pasquotank ers of .gambling proclivities it shouldn't be so bad for them—no, not even then! They could still stake their money on the relative abilities of the frogs in transit from bank to bank.—Greensboro Record. Sure, we favor sound money; but what is it? "Car loadings are still below last year." Yeah, but look at truck loadings. A wife is a person who thinks it all right to bawl you out before company if she adds the word "honey." All people are willing to be their brother's keeper in some degree. They aro willing to look after his conscience. . ELEMENTARY ECONOMICS •.

Ehringhaus Will Reveal Choice for Posts on Re turn to Raleigh By J. C. BASKERVILL The Times-News Bureau ! Sir Walter Hotel | RALEIGH, June 1.—Governor I J. C. B. Ehringhaus may an nounce his slate of appointments when he returns here from New York today or tomorrow, it was] learned yesterday. It is true that I Tuesday hp auain declined to give any indication of when hoi intends to announce his appoint-1 ments, when questioned by news-] paper correspondents. But later i he cinfided to a friend that he intended to work on his appoint ments while going and coming from New York and indicated that he might have them ready to announce on his return here. "It was suggested that he go to New York by airplane rather than by train," this friend said. "But he said he preferred to go by train this time, since he want ed to utilize the time on the train between here and New York to work on his appointments. He evidently did not want to get up j in the air when he made up his I mind on these appointments." j If Governor Ehringhaus does' manage to make up hi.j mind • concerning who he is going to ap-l point to the various positions he J must fill and announces his do-1 cision before the end of this week, tons of woi » y will he lifted i from the shoulders of t'ie various appointive officials here and the! employes under them. Little if | any work has been accomplished j in any of these departments that will be affected by new appoint ments since the close of the gen eral assembly. For it is almost impossible for any of these de partments to go ahead and make any definite plans for more than a day at a time until it is known whether or not there will be any changes made in the heads of the departments. The three most im-: portant appointments Governor j Ehringhaus must make are as • follows? | Chairman of the new highway and public works commission. Commissioner of revenue. Director of the department of conservation and development. There are many other minor appointments to be made by the governor, of course, probably in cluding that of a new assistant, director of the budget, if and, when Henry }5urke actually -Joes resign. l»ut these three arc con sidered as the most important of all. It is really imperative that the commissioner of revenue be ap pointed as soon as possible, since the new revenue act passed by the 1933 general assembly, which 'includes the new 3 per cent gen-; eral sales tax, goes into effect; July. This meai.s that the com missioner of revenue m :.t set up all his new tax machinery and; have it ready to operate on that date. He must also get together with the merchants of the state before that day and work out with them the methods to be em ployed for passing the sales tax along to the consumers. So if the appointments are announced this week, the new commissioner of revenue, whoever he may be, | will have less than 30 days with in which to get his new tax ma chine set up and ready for busi ness by Jyly 1. For several weeks the division heads and em ployes of the department of rev enue have been disconcerted and restless pending the decision of the governor. Indications are that Commissioner A. J. Maxwell will be reappointed—but nobody Knows and the governor may spring a surprise. While there is not (|iiite as much need lor speed in the ap pointment of the new head of the highway and public works com mission, which will include the state prison when it is formed, the uncertainty existing with re gard to this appointment is mak ing it difficult for the highway commission to do much more than mark time. Out at the prison they are continuing to do this as usual. So in order to end thoj general uncertainty, it is be lieved that Governor Ehvinghaus will act as ciuickly as possible. .Most people here think this job is now between Chairman E. 15. Jeffress and George lio.-s Pou. 1 There is also need for speed in perfecting the organization of the department of conservation and development, especially since the government has decided to allot additional forest conservation camps to the state, in the man agement of which the conserva tion department will co-operate. Here again indications point to the retention of Colonel J. YV. Harrelson as director of the de partment. llut no one knows and as long as the uncertainty exists, the department cannot go ahead with any new plans. So it js that almost everyone here is hoping Governor Khring haus will announce his appoint-, ments as soon as possible. OLD MEXICAN LAW GIVFS MANY FAMILIES WORK XOG.A LES, Souora, Mew, Juno 1.— fLTP).—An agrarian act en-j acted by the Mexican Federal ' government ten years ago, was revived here to give employment to more than 100 families. Under the act—unapplied un- : til now—persons who have a ' knowledge of agricultural pur- , suits are provided with rent-free i land, aided to plant a crop—seeds furnished by the government. Lands in the Pesquiera ranch, known as Cuchuta, and located near Esqueda, south of Nogales, have been taken up by Mexican families under this old enact ment. More than 100 tracts of ten acres each are being culti vated. The law provides that no land owner may hold unused large acreage if there are those who can be provided with work and sustenance, and it commandeers the use of the acreage, but leaves the title to the original owner. Tenancy is from year to year, as long as the owner is agreeable and does not want the land for j his own use.

BEHIND THE SCENES IN >^< 4. * WASJNGTQN - WIT" RODNEY DUTCHES JB\ RODNEY DUTCHER XEA .Verviee "Writer ^WASHINGTON — Twenty years " ago Charles August Lind bergh, a congressman from j Minnesota, fought for and ob- j tained an investigation of the j "Money Trust." The elder J. P. Morgan was I forced to eomc and toll a com- • mittee something about his vast, operations. The country had its! first small insight into the domi nation by the bankers over rail roads. banks, industrial corpora tions, utilities and politics. j Charles August Lindbergh was damned by conservatives and sacrificed his public career be- { cause he so boldly and persistent ly attacked men like the Morgans.' their operations with other peo ple's money and their system of J hidden control. ♦ * # "jV6\V the younger Morgan has . been called to the stand and his iirni is being investigated once more. And the name of Lindbergh enters again with u startling con trast of circumstance. Charles Augustus Lindbergh, son of the uncompromising Min nesota progressive and thu youth who became America's hero through his spectacular flight to Paris, sometime ago married tne daughter of a Morgan partner. And now it lias been revealed that the younger Lindbergh was one of the many public men who ac cepted favors front the House of Morgan in the form of securities * , delivered at a price lar below too market value. r • • ANLY the fiery persistence of V Counsel Ferdinand Pecora caused the Senate committee to make public the lists of the Mor gan stock and lor.n beneficiaries. A committee majority was actu ally opposed to the publicity for such names as Woodin, Coolidge, Lindbergh, McAdoo, Norman II. Davis, Newton D. Baker, Justice Roberts and Raskob. But tlie thing had gone too far Pecora as >:ood as threatened to walk out if the evidence wer* suppressed. » * » IT'S amazing how chummy these ordinarily aloof and cloistei-ed Morgan partners become when they'm on tho spot. "I don't mind, 'joys," said J. P. himself as photographers ex ploded scores of flashlight bulbs belore him for the tenth time. '•I own some stock in-General Electric." Costigan, the Colorado progres sive, sitting beside him, intro duced himself to tho mone> kiiiK. "Just tiiink," exclaimed Morgan, glancing ut Bulkley of Ohio at his right. "We're tne only three Harvard men at the table, sitting right in ^ row!" Later lift peered forward to see the book Costigan was inspecting—a tome purport ing to expose the Morgan firm Costigan politely handed him tht book. Then J.
