Kidnaping
Feeling the sting of criticism in the United States, aimed
at the bombing of civilian-populated centers in Spain , by
frtrpp with which Kalian troorjs are cooDeratinjy. an official
Italian pulication responds by twitting the United States on
its child kidnapings. Answering that sort of argument is easy
almost too easy. Kidnapings. which may result in one
death compared to the hundreds killed in one air raid, are not
officially condoned. Kidnapers do not write best-sellers de
scribing the "'glories" of their craft, as did the son of Musso
lini after bombing villages in Ethiopia-. I
But before we squelch this Italian argument to our own
satisfaction, even if not to that of the Italian people who will
never hear our reply, let's examine the situation and see if the
fascist writer hasn't at least part of a case. Meanwhile,
Franklin Pierce McCall, 21, farmhand minister's son, faces
the death penalty for the kidnaping of Jimmy Cash, 5, in the
course of which act the child died. Let McCall go to the elec
tric chair or the gallows or whatever they have in Florida, by
all means; but before he goes, let's examine him too. i
The United States is the only country which in these
modern times has kidnapings on any notable scale, although
fascist dictators employ quite similar methods 'backed up by
official authority. As a matter of fact kidnaping, was an old
Italian custom, practiced by the Mafia and Camorra organiz
ations, who abducted wealthy .persons instead of their child
ren. Kidnaping goes back in history at least to ancient Jew
ish times, for the old Jewish law invoked the death penalty
for kidnapers, as does the modern American law. I i
But why does the United -States alone have this modern
type of kidnaping? The case of Franklin Pierce McCall is not
typical ; he was not previously involved in crime,! but a pre
sentable, supposedly respectable young man. But the case is
one which admits of reduction to the -simplest terms. McCall
was of good family, fairly well educated, but a farm hand,
from which we may deduce that he was not well paid and that
he was probably lacking in ambition to achieve financial suc
cess by undertaking responsible tasks. But he was not lack
ing in ambition to obtain money to enjoy "the finer things of
life." !
- So McCall was willing to disregard everything self re
spect, personal safety, common decency and humanity to
germoney. There it is in those simplest terms we' were seeking-.
Well, wouldn't that describe all kidnapers? I
After all there are not many kidnapers ; hardly even one
in a million, in this country where kidnaping is supposed to
be so prevalent. But have we in America somehowestablished
a habit of thought which causes even one person in a million
to value money above everything else? There must be lesser
irradps rf th am viewpoint r Teonle who value money above
everything except personal safety, who would kidnap if they
oared ; many who value money aDove sen-respect.
Perhaps if we could change our mental habits so that not
even one person in a million valued money above everything
else, we would solve some of our other problems; industrial
strife, for instance, and the problem of too great extremes of
poverty and wealth.
Hopkins on
It is distinctly unusual to
Hopkins in a defensive attitude, such as he takes in an article
in Survey Midmonthly, a magazine for social workers. With
respect to the WPA he writes : 1
"That there are weaknesses in the Works Program I am the
first to admit. To me the glaring weakness is that it (cannot yet
provide work for all employables who are in need . . . Another
admitted weakness is the low wages which we pay WPA workers
ia certain sections of the country. Thousands of our workers. I
am sorry to say. earn less than $30 a month. There is Tery little
we can do about this at the present time. .. . i
"Figures are sometimes presented to show the difference in
coat between a work program and a dole .-. . if we figure on direct
relief grants equal in budgetary adequacy to present WPA
- wages, the saving turns out to be only 30 per cent. But for this
SO per cent which is spent for materials and equipment, we
have, first of all. an indirect employment equivalent! to about a
sixth of those on the Works Program; and we have,! of course,
the vast accomplishments of a works program as well as the.
benefit to the nation that comes from conserving the skills and
the morale of the unemployed. t I
"The second argument which the dole advocates present is
that the WPA encourages an army of Jobholders who refuse pri
Tate employment ... I am yet to find any group of WPA workers
who wouldn't be happy to get back in private industry. ,
"A third argument ... is that the projects are not worth- ;
while, that there is too much boondoggling. Let me point out '
that 76 percent of all WPA money spent has gone for construe-
tion projects: buildings, roads, streets, airports, parks and
. bridges. . . - 4 1 i
"Another argument Is that there is politics in the WPA. That
minor politicians of both parties have tried to influence, intimi
date and even coerce WPA workers in certain areas I have no
doubt: that these attempts have been cnsuccessfuL I also have no
doubt ... I have told every WPA worker, on numerous occa
sions, by letter and over the radio, that politics and the WPA are
not allied . . . j
"We come now to the last argument against the WPA: that
the program has built up a huge bureaucracy in Washington . . .
All WPA workers are selected from the local relief rolls. Ninety
eight percent of all WPA projects are locally conceived . . ;. Less
than 10 per cent of the administrative personnel is In Washing
ton. . . " . j I .(!"
"The program has not been worked out in its entirety. Five
years la a short time tor so enormous job. But we are going
forward and not backward. And that is the most encouraging aign
k on the present horizon.
A considerable portion of what Mr. Hopkins says in de
fense of WPA is correct even what he says about politics. In
Oregon, WPA workers did receive official notice before the
primary that they were free to follow their own inclinations
- in politics. As a rule, the political influence of the spending
program is more subtle, and where it is not, it does not come
from the top. I J
As for the value of WPA in relation to a dole, he is also
correct to the extent that the projects are worthwhile. Here
is one way of looking at it; it is the relief program, largely
though not wholly, that unbalances the budget. If the nation
acquires new buildings, roads and other things of value, that
compensates in part for the mounting debt. Otherwise it is a
total loss. 1
The distressing factor in Mr; Hopkins report is that aft
er five years he considers his program is just getting started,
inferring, as be has elsewhere and as most of his subordin
ates do, that it is to go on forever.
New York City is planning to erect 227 new school baildings at
cost of 233 million dollars. This will Include 134 elementary school
baildings at a total cost of 112,00i.O0O. Sine they can't all be mii-lisa-dollar
buildings. It's to be hoped that the cost of each will be kept
fseiew that figure so no district will be able to brag: toe insuffer
ably. - ' i .
Just when good many people who own auomobilea are looking
forward to enjoyment of "two weeks vacation with pay. the oil In
dustry calls attention to th sad circumstance that most of them work
we weeks without pay" every year; that la, hat direct and Indirect
taxes on their automobiles cost about what most of .them earn in
two weeks. , , , . j .-;

One of these Washington columnists referred to A." A. Berle, as

Sage of Salem
Speculates
By D. a. TALMADGS
However, Salt Yourself
A lie may be a blessed thing.
Some people think it so.
It may to one a comfort bring;
Cause anxious thoughts to go.
But e'en the best of Ilea may fall
To do what's meant to do.
And may more grievousness entail
Than words more strictly true.
A lie may heaps of trouble make,
'Yet has some grief consoled,
Ii may briefly ease a heart ache,
Still, better 'tis untold.
The Lie That Failed
Rickey Tunk, back In the bot
toms, once said he retained two
principal memories. Of course, he
had a heap of other memories,
but two of 'em stuck out like a
bee-fitung thumb on each hand.
One of these two memories was of
what took place when a Jie he'd
told about a certain party, and
v.ith helpful intentions, too, was
exposed, and the other was about
the time when he was run over by
a switch engine in the railroad
yards at the county seat. He said
the switch engine was more con
siderate of his feeling than toe
certain party was. I don't know
what the affair about the certain
party was. Folks in the bottoms
were not much given to talking
about the neighbors. They, fig-
gered what the neighbors done
was none of their business. I us
ually figgered I liked 'em the bet
ter for it. But I had doubts now
and again.
Good intentions mixed with
poor judgment sometimes ex
plode. And when an explosion of
that kind happens there's ho use
grieving over it. As Shakespeare
or somebody said, "Nothing mat
ters when it can't be helped;
many a yelp s been needlessly
yelped."
But we can vote, and sometimes
that's a real comfort.
The Old Bugaboo Game
A medicine company with an
Indian name worked our section
of the bottoms one summer. The
usual setup a "doctor" with
magnetic eyes and a persuasive
tongue, three or four excellent en
tertainers, and a small caliope,
which was better than a brass
band because it could be heard
farther. I reckon the "remedy"
was harmless. It sold for it dollah
a bottle, and was guaranteed to
cure most human iUs. When the
"doctor" lectured he stood be
side a table upon which were a
number of glass jars containing,
preserved in alcohol, monsters"
which had been "removed" from
patients by the "remedy." It was
pretty impressive all right. The
"remedy" did many good things,
but about the best thing it did
was the "removal" of "monsters'
from human interiors. Most folks
didn't believe the "monsters" bad
been "removed" from human be
ings, but they had no positive ev
idence to the contrary, and they
did&know they had a misery with
in themselves, and the community
was. under a terrific strain for
several weeks. I reckon it's the
way we're constituted. Smart po
litical "doctors" have been known
to influence great bodies of vot
ers in the same way. It aeems as
If we were old enough to know
better.
Most of us, whether we admit
it or not, prefer something which
imparts rose tints to the. imagin
ation, something which might
come true, as the gentleman with
the magnetic eyes and the pur
suasive tongue said it would. A
plain self-evident fact, a meek lit
tle drab thing, is pretty dull com
pany. However, give it time, truth is
certain to prevail. .
Even a guy you've known for
quite a while as what you consid
er to be a liar is liable to surprise
you. A truth un believed is fre
quently a lie in reverse
The implied claim of the pro
ducers that the "There's Always a
Woman" picture, shown at the
Grand this week, classes with
"Mr. Deeds" and "Theodora" is
not. entirely justified. However,
Joan Blondell, as the wife of an
unsuccessful detective, dumbells
her way to- the successful solution
of a murder mystery in a way
highly satisfactory, and with the
efficient assistance of M e 1 v y n
Douglas makes the film laughably
entertaining. I have heard it said
during the week that "There's Al
ways a Woman" is the best thing
Miss Blondell has ever done, but
this statement, in the face of her
varied stage and screen career
during the past 30 years (almost)
ia rather a broad one. One thing
is positive- she is far from being
a has-been. '

Educating Warriors
A sort of tentative criticism of attempts at West Point
and Annapolis to include more
curricula of these warrior-building institutions has appeared
in the editorial columns of some of the papers.
"Tentative" is the word because they don't come out and
say such cultural courses are all wrone, but just imply it by
mentioning that John Paul Jones was rather an uncouth indi
vidual and that Dewey had no immediate need for an appre
ciation of the classics at Manila Bay.
j- That's all very . well for wartime but fortunately, the
United States is not always at war; will never be at war it it's
lucky. In peacetime, we have to have these army and navy of
ficers, just in case. Meanwhile, being conscious human beings,
they have to occupy their minds with something. If all they
know is war, presumably they will always think war. That's
what is wrong with Japan, coupled with the fact that Japan's
war lords have acquired a lot of power.
If we teach our. warrior-leaders a few of the arts of
peace, it may be just that much help in maintaining peace.
Concerning a headline in a Salem paper, "Medford Boils at 18."
Art Perry of the Medford Mall-Tribune denies that the town boiled but
said it would next time somebody made a crack like that. Seeing as
how all the editors are going to visit Medford this weekend, they'd
better warn all the headline writers to go easy. i
They, opened a spic-and-span. shiny new bridge at Klamath Falls
the other day and next morning found various sets of initials already
carved on the artistic wooden railings. We agree with Sage of Salem
that no rapid- Improvement In human natnre is to Toe expected.

Barreling Operations "Will
Start in Another Week
or 10 Days
With the strawberry barrelling
and canning season now reaching
ita nether side, due to crop short
age from weather and worm con
ditions, local plants are turning
attention to the cherry deal and
the smaller pack of red raspber
ries, commercial pickings of
which will soon be ready.
So far three cents in the best
known price offered here - on
ltoyal Annes and apparently there
is no business here on black cher
ries, though in Yakima and east
ern Oregon 3 cents has been
offered also on blacks.
Cherries will be ready for the
barrell'ng plants 1" another week
or 10 days, and on the basis of
present conditions, some cannera
expect about the same size crop
as the valley produced last year.
Dalles Harvest Starts

is a big one. At Yakima, one 3uu
ton block of cherries Bc4d for 2 4
cents, according to a The Dalies
news stc-y. In. California, prices
have been ranging from 2 to
4 cents.
Probablv chief reason for the
low price on cherries this year is
the exceptionally large carryover
of brined cherries from the 1937
deal. .
. The onlv known strawberry
