Act,'. .'ties of
Legion Auxiliary
By Mrs. Goodwin Humphrey
The officers of the American Legion
Auxiliary wish to extend greetings for
a bright and prosperous New Year,
to all auxiliary members and their
friends!
Of special interest to auxiliary
members Is the varied mass of legis
lation affecting the veteran, which
will be offered in the two houses of
congress when the seventy-third con
gress of the United States begins its
first regular session. The greatest of
these to be considered Is the Pour
Point Rehabilitation program of the
American Legion. Legionnaires should
let their senators and congressmen
understand that they want them to
support the legion's four-point bill
rather than introduce bills of their
own to amend the economy act.

TO SOCIAL PEACE
PORTLAND, Dec, 30. p) Inau
guration of a "new deal" m educa
tion as the greatest contribution
teschers can make in 1934 waa urged
at the closing session of the 34th an
nual convention of the Oregon State
Teachers aasociatlon when Dr. Frank
W. Hart, professor of education, Uni
versity or California, discussed "the
place of public education in the new
deal." .
"We must turn our attention from
better and bigger machines to human
needs." he declared; ."from the mys
tery of the molecule to the mystery
of the mind; from the' behavior, of
the electron to the behavior of mo
rons." Dr. Hart argued that the only valu
able task for our schools in these
days of soelal upheaval and complex
ities Is to teach social science in place
of the physical sciences.
"The is the beginning of a na
tional movement." he continued, "to
elevate social science to supremacy
in every school of the land. I believe
that one-fourth of every child's study
should be social science.
"That is the way to educate for a
fearless, courageous, straight-thinking
generation of young people able
to meet problems on a high plane of
political intelligence."
LIFE WEARY MAN
DENVER, Dec. 30. ( AP) A man
who wanta to die pleaded today to
give his life for that of Walter Rep
pln. whose 18 years of scurrying be
fore the law seem doomed to end in
Colorado's new lethal gas chamber
next Friday.
Walter C. Dunham, moribund Colo
rado Springs tuberculosis patient,
made the plea in a letter to Gov
ernor Edwin C. Johnson. Reppln, for
mer Newark. N. J., youth, is "con
demned to die for the murder of Vin
cent Regan, Colorado Spring taxi
driver.
"Since I doubt that you will com
mute Reppln's sentence, I wish to
offer to take his place In the gas
chamber," Dunham wrote.
"Reppln is only 18 and I feel sure
he will make a good citizen. That
Is why I will gladly take his place in
the lethal gas chamber provided Rep
pln Is set free after my execution.
"I am suffering from tuberculosis
and I am supported by the commu
nity chest of Colorado Springs. It is
doubtful If I will ever be a good self-
supporting citizen.
"Will you please let me take Rep
pin's place and set him free?"
The governor did not comment on
the letter.
Previously, he said he did not find
any facta that warranted his Interfer
ence with the death sentence Im
posed by the court on Reppln.
Philip Hornbeln and David Rosner,
Denver attorneys, after a conference
with Governor Johnson, said they
would take steps Tuesday to appeal
the case.

Before the Washington legislature ad
journed today for the New Year's
holiday, the house put everything in
order for action on liquor control
legislation next week.
Taking drastic stops, the lower
chamber wrenched all pending liq
uor bills, including the Steele state
stores measure which passed the sen
ate from the house liquor control
committee. T.hls action literally dis
solved the liquor body composed of
33 members and sent the rum bills
to the rules organization minus the
numerous amendments adopted by
the committee.
Plans of the rules committee are
to bring the Steele bill on the floor
Tuesday In the same .form It passed
the senate two weeks ago, make ev
