SOCIALISTS' LOSE GROUND IN AUSTRIA 0 God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not ' hid from thee. Psalm 69 : 5. ' THREATENS CWA SUCCESS There is something rather ominous uljout all these reports of graft and double-dealing in operations of the CWA. They have been widespread enough to cause Department of Jus tice agents to get busy and the story they tell isn't a pretty one. Public officials in some localities calmly have put them '. selves on the CWA payrolls; in others they have connived at a racket whereby CWA men had to fork over part of their pay; in others they have passed out jobs precisely as a rapa- emus city machine hands out plums at the.ctty hall. Part of this is due to local political conditions, and part . of it may be due to the federal administration's failure to . proceed sharp'y enough against the spoils system. There ' still are too many men who see in government jobs .only a new opportunity to reward deserving party workers. But ! whatever the cause of it, the net effect is to raise grave I doubts about the working-out of the vast programs now ,be . xng put into effect at Washington. "' We don't know yet how far some of these programs are going to go or how long they are going to last. .Many people ' are convinced that some, at least, of these government pro . jects are profoundly unwise and ought to be abandoned. $ut however opinion may run in those respects, one thing is ' obvious : Since we are more or less committed to a trial of '. a vast extension of activity by the central government, that .' .trial ought to le as business-like and straightforward as is humanly possible. If it fails, it ought to fail because of its own inherent contradictions and not because of political in- i ' eptitude. (Continued From Page One) fuss called them "mad." There are uncounted multitudes of Injured. Although the Socialist quarters In Vienna were momentarily captured, today, after a short lull, the battle was resumed through street still lltteicd with the dead. Women fought like pioneers of the American prairies. A government troops commander said they helped carry munitions and relnid rifles of their embattled husbnnds ' and brothers who fought from the win dows of their homes. Their resistance .was smashed by artillery. The state of civil war between the Socialists and the government con tinued serious throughout the na tion, but In outlying regions the government rapidly appeared to bo gaining the upper hand. , At Llnz. one of the bloodiest spots in the rebellion, the government was definitely In control. However, spokesmen for both the government and the Socialists con fidently predicted victory. In sovcmrri(t Luuivs, a reorgan ization of the- cabinet was discussed LOCAL BRIEFS Return Home ' Mrs. J.

Tho national dairy program has not been settled yet and the Oregon producers will probably take some action on it for the benefit of the national committee.
