Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
CALIFORNIA Democrat, aa these
words are written, appear to
have split their votes fairly equally
among Franklin D. Roosevelt, Al
Smith and John N. Qarner.
So the California, primary, which
might have been decisive, Isn't de
cisive at all, but Instead Indicates
a considerable haziness of thinking
on the part of voters out In this
Western country.
There was similar haziness 01
thinking In big Pennsylvania. Only
In Massachusetts, among the big
states where primaries have been
held, have the Democratic voters
spoken out clearly and decisively in
favor of one candidate over another.
Massachusetts overwhelmingly pre
ferred Al Smith.
PRESIDENT HCj'o VER, running
without opposition In his home
state of California, receives aa many
votes . as the combined total of the
' three Democrats.
That Isn't as significant as It
looks. It Indicates merely that In
the heavily Republican state of
California, which Is also the home
of the President, the Republicans
barely held their own In registra
tions.' The big thing that has happened
to Hoover, so far,. Is his victory over
Senator France In Maryland earlier
In the week.
REGISTRATIONS In Oregon for
the primary election this spring
are materially larger than for the
primary election two years ago. They
exceed even the total for the general
election of November, 1930.
That Is a good sign..' It means that
people have been thinking about
politics and that they are going to
vote the convictions to which their
thinking has led them.
If the people of this country will
Just think clearly enough to reach
definite conclusions on the Issues
of the day. and then will VOTE
these conclusions, we shall have
government that Is at least aa good
as we are entitled to.
PLEASE note that it Is In times o:
adversity that people are doing
their real thinking. In good times,
they didn't pay much attention to
government. Back In the big years,
considerably leas than half the quali
fied electors were even taking in
terest enough In governmnt to go
to the polls.
It's odd, but It seems to be a
fact, that adversity brings out the
beet that Is In us, whereas unusual
prosperity Is apt to bring out the
WOTSt.
.
IT WAS PROSPERITY, you know,
very unusual national prosperity,
that brought out Al Cspone, de
scribed ss the king of the gangsters.
Al was rotten, and everybody knew
It; and the things he waa doing were
rotten and degrading and disgusting,
and everybody knew that. But busi
ness waa rushing. Everybody In the
big cities where Al and his kind ope
rated, was so busy making money,
and SPENDING It. that he had no
time left to do anything about gang
aterdom and corruption and the de
cay of honest government.
So Al went right ahead, practically
unhampered.
PLEASE note, because It Is EX
CEEDINGLY Important, that It
la In these dsys of adversity, when
people are thinking much more
dearly and sanely and honestly than
In the big dsys of boom prosperity.
that Al Cspone la brought Into court
and convicted and aent to Jail, where
he belongs.
Adversity, you see. has Its usee.
THESE times are hard to take.
But so la castor oil.
Everybody knows that there are
times when taking castor oil Is
good for us physically, sweeping our
systems free of accumulated cor
ruption and leaving us cleaner and
better.
These times of adversity, whlcn
are so hard to take, will do the
tame Ihlng for us In a spiritual way.
Believe It or not.

Makes Charge Against
Notorious Capital Agent
WASHINGTON, May 6. (AP)
Gaston B. Means waa taken to Jail
today after falling to make a 100, 000
bond required under an arraignment
for embezzling that amount in con
nection with the Lindbergh kidnap
ing.
WASHINGTON, May 5. (AP)
Gaston B. Means, was formally
charged today with having embezzled
100,000 given to him by Mrs. Evelyn
Walsh McLean, wife of the publisher
of the Washington Post, for payment
to the kidnapers of the Infant Lind
bergh for return of the child.
Means pleaded not guilty before
United States Commissioner Needham
Turnage, who read the accusation.
United States Attorney Leo Rover
demanded $100,000 bond, and Means'
hastily summoned an attorney, de
claring it exorbitant.
"While we are not trying him for
his past crimes," Rover said. In de
manding the bond, "my information
regarding his past activities . . . leads
me to believe that If the bond Is not
set he will not be here."
The weird negotiations which
Means ia alleged to have been con
ducting with Mrs. McLean began on
March 4, three days after Charles
Augustus Lindbergh Jr., waa abduct
ed. Colonel Lindbergh is said to have
given permission to Mrs. McLean to
take action.
In the negotiations Mrs. McLean
made hurried trips to Aiken, S. C,
and El Paso, Texas, in futile rendez
vous with the purported kidnapers,
one of whom, heavily armed, was
allegedly produced by Means.
Father Francis J. Hurney of the
Immaculate Conception church, act

a result of a suggestion, said to have

dent Hoover today a letter asking
him to take "open and determined
action" to cut olf compensations
paid to veterans for disabilities not
resulting from war service.
Roosevelt declsred In a statement

the whole nation la being expended
for the benefit of less than one per
cent of the people."

Hoover "seemed Interested In It."
Roosevelt Is secretary of the ec6n

Roosevelt, a veteran, plans to pre
sent similar petltlona and statements
to Vice-President Curtis and Speaker
Garner of the house.
The letter presented by Roosevelt
said his organization had watched

of the government to face the Issue

ure to grapple with the question of
drsstlc reductions In the approxi
mately H.000,000.000 which la being
expended for veterans' benefits."

president of the Empire Holding
company, who la charged wtth help
tng to devise a acheme to defraud by
sale of stock of the Empire company.
Robinson, recalled to the stand for
cross examination on his testimony

per cent commission agreement he
received $3600 in commissions from
the company, of which he paid out
aiioo to salesmen working under
him, and that he still has $6700 due
him.
That he subscribed for $30,000
worth of Empire stock on the
strength of his confidence In Dr.
W. R, Adams and Coshow, two ol
the officers, and with the under
standing that no aalarlea were to be
paid officers until such time as
operating Insurance companies had
been organised and were function
Ing, and the story of his alleged dis
illusionment were the highlights of
Dr. Clancy's testimony.
Dr. Clancy said that he was first
approached on the Investment In

man, but that he did not complete
the deal until about 10 days later
when he waa in Portland. He waa
given to understand, he testified.
that 18 per cent of the atock sub
scription money was to go for com
missions on stock sales, five per cent
for overhead and that the remain
Ing 80 per cent would be held in
escrow pending organisation of the
operating Insurance companies. He
aald he understood tfiat this ar
rangement had been sanctioned by
the state.
Dr. Clancy said that he paid $5000
in cash for his 300 shares of stock
and gave a note for the balance, and
that he was given to understand
that the other officers of the com
pany had paid In like amounts. He
said that he accepted the Job of
secretary only with the understand
tng that he would be permitted an
active hand In the management of
the company, but that he found out
that the business of the company
was transacted by Coshow, I. H. Pet
ty, Stockman and Adams, directors,
at secret meetings. In May, 1931
Dr. Clancy said, he learned that
Adams and some of the other offi
cers had not paid In any money
on their stock eubscrlp tlons, and
that soon after that Adams paid In
$2000.
