u A LABAMA" Pitts, 24 years old, wag released yesterday
from Sing Sing after serving a short term for robbery.'
Alabama was the star athlete at the Big House, generally
regarded as the greatest athlete ever martieulated from this
famous institution.
Thanks to the good services of Warden I.awes, and Johhny
Evcrs of the Albany (N. Y.) baseball team, "Alabama" was
given a place on the team, and left at once to take up his new
duties.
But the President of the Minor League Association, informed
of the transaction, put his foot down. He said putting an ex
convict on the Albany team would be bad morals and bad
business.
OAD for whomt Certainly not for Alabama, who is only a
kid, and has all his life before him. This is his perfect
chance to go straight and show that his moral lessons have been
learned. Even on a baseball team, he would be a marked man
and placed constantly on his mettle. The slightest slip from the
straight and narrow would place him on the spot. It's a ton to
one wager the lad would make good.
To deny him this chance, would throw him back to the
bread line, and sooner or later probably sooner, to the under
world and a life of crime. So much for the young man.
WOULD such action really injure the Minor League, or be
smirch the good name of professional baseball! Would
it tend to condone crime, or serve as a bad example for Amer
ican youth f
We seriously doubt it. For the hardened and confirmed
criminal there may be little hope. But for the young criminal,
for a lad like Alabama who started off on the wrong foot, in
his teens there is always hope. In giving such a kid his
CHANCE, we believe the Minor League would have the hearty
endorsement of the sporting world, and of public opinion as a
whole. Organized baseball would be doing no more than indus
try has done, many times in the past, and should continue to do,
more and more in the future.
For one of the most serious elements in the crime problem,
is the cold shoulder turned to the ex-convict, the difficulty the
ex-convict, who has learned his lesson, and wishes to go straight,
has in getting a new start. Indifference to his fate, lack of
sympathy and understanding,
ulates it. In the last analysis, it
and merely makes big criminals
Johnny Evers, one of the
lived, and a fine sportsman, has appealed from the decision
of tbe President. In the interest of good sportsmanship and an
enlightened and constructive attitude toward crime, we hope
that Johnny wins.
That Coast Railroad
GRANTS PASS in greatly interested in the new railroad,
projected from Tort Orford, down the coast, up Rogue
River, connecting with the S. P. at Iceland.
, So is Medford. So is all Southern Oregon. For half a century,
railroads from this part of the state, to the coast have been
constructed on paper. But aside from the short spur line, from
Grants Pass, southwest, which our neighboring city still owns,
nothing has been done.
With the railroad situation what it is in this country at the
present time, it is difficult to sec how anything CAN be done.
But those who know far more about this project and the
men behind it than we do, are confident that in spite of the
skeptics and the chronic crepe-hangers, this railroad is going
through.
Well, we hope they are right. And certainly the people of
Medford and Southern Oregon would do anything in their
power, to push such a worthy enterprise along.
As a clear exposition of what such a railroad would mean
to this part of the state, and particularly to the fruit growers,
and also as an interesting sidelight upon the type of men who
are behind this project the following editorial from the Grants
Pass Courier is reprinted:
A new 1100,000 cold storage plant, to be completed by August 1,
wu under construction In Medford today, according to a news story
filed on the Associated Press wire by the neighboring city.
The plsnt will be constructed of steel and concrete, will be three
stories high, and will have a capacity of 335.000 boxes of pears,
according to the Medford report.
Such enterprises as this, which will be only one of the big plants
required by the pear Industry of southern Oregon, glre outward
Indication of the magnitude of the Rogue River Valley's fruit In
dustry carried on year after year under the handicap of higher
freight rates to consuming centers than any other similar area.
The industry continues to go forward In spite of this handicap
only because the Rogue River Valley produces an exceptional quality
fruit, which commands high enough market price to permit It
to compete with other fruits produced In low freight rate produc
tion areas.
What the effect upon our valley will be If and when our great
freight rate disadvantage Is suddenly wiped out anyone Is free to
Imagine for himself. Suppose. In addition to thit. the Rogue valley
fruit was also at the same time to arrive at market In better, fresher
condition, and you will see what It would mean If a rsll line were
built through to the cosst where the Rogue fruit could be placed
In refrigerator ships with their Improved temperature control for
the trip to the Atlantic seaboard.
We mention these things today so people will not forget what
such a railroad would do tor them, merely because the Gold Coast
Railroad company Is planning to build from Leland to Port Orford
and the plan seems to bare prospects of success.
For the sake of the record, we present here the names of the
Individuals heading the Port Orford dock and rail projects, snd
gtre some of the Information they have supplied about themselves.
They are:
Gilbert E. Gable, heading the groups, of a Pennsylvania anthra

CARDIOVASCULAR
In a lecture nearly 150 years ago
Dr. Benjamin Rush the famous Phil
adelphia physician said he had seen
but one case of aglna pectoris, and
mentl o n e d an
other eminent
physician who
had seen but one
case. Dr. Henry
1. Eisner, profes
sor of medicine
in Syracuse Uni
versity, writing
In 1916 ("Pr'jg

cine, Appleton's)
said that among
5,708 patients
seen In private practice In seven
years there had been 101 cases of
angina pectoris. Query (which I
can't answer): Is cardiovascular dls
ease so much more frequent now or
has diagnosis Improved nearly 100 per
cent? All vital statistics would give
the impression that cardiovascular
degeneration Is on the Increase, but
mere figures so often He,
Cardiovascular degeneration or dis
ease (CVD) covers a good deal of
pathology, it accounts for 25- of all
deaths after the fortieth year of age.
It Includes arteriosclerosis, roughen
ing of aortic valve or ascending aona
(aortitis f, narrowing or contraction
of the valve (aortic stenosis), leakage
of the valve. ( aortic Insufficiency ) ,
angina pectoris, myocarditis (slow
heart muscle failure, fatty degenera
tion), chronic intestinal nephritis
fBrlght's dlscnse) with hyperetenslon
(high blood pressure), cerebral hem
orrhage (apoplexy, shock or stroke of
paralysis, cerebral thombosla (clot
ting of blood In vessel In brain.)
The apparent Increase of CVD in
tho past fifty years or more Is viewed
with apprehension by clinicians, sta
tisticians and sanatologlsts. I don't
rnte any of these spallations, but as
a health column conductor I do con
siderable browsing around and lis
tening In and occasionally I have an
Idea, no matter whether It Is naturally
born or adopted. I take little stock In
the common conceit that premature
physical breakdown or wearing out is
due to the high tension and killing
pace of American life. The high ten
sion Is mainly overeating and drink
ing and smoking, and the killing
pace Is fifty to eighty miles per
hour, and that's all I can see In It.
This conceit belongs In the category
with the banal fancy that large busi
ness responsibilities or domestic cares
bring on "nervous exhaustion" or
"nervous breakdown" meaning in
sanity. Polite lies to print In the pa
per or to give out to nosy neighbors,
but they will scarcely do in the con
stilting room unless It Is your pur
pose to deceive the doctor or his pur
pone to string you along.

It may look all right but Is less firm

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
VOLNEY DAVIS, a member of wnat
Is left of the Barker-Karpls gang,
Is captured In Chicago on Saturday,
which seems to let him out of the
Weyerhaeuser kidnaping. The talk
now la that the Tacoma kidnaping
was the work of a local Northwest
gang.
The chances are, if these G-men
are as smart as they're supposed to
be, they aren't giving out much ol
what they know, or suspect, about
the kidnapers.
Any hunter will tell you that
the more he knows about the deer
and the less the deer know about
him the better his chances are ot
bringing home a buck.
THE lateat elan is" that the kid
napers, If and when they are
captured, will be tried In the state
courts of Washington, rather than
in the federal courts.
The federal kidnaping law. It is
said, contains a clause providing
that when kidnapers release their
victims unhurt they can receive no
more than life Imprisonment. The
Washington law, however, provides
the death penalty for first degree
kidnaping.
SPEAKINO of death, a dispatch
from Rome asserts that 30 Ital
ian subjects were killed in the latest
African frontier battle with Abys
slnlans. Not a very Important story, under
ordinary circumstances, but It MAY
be Important if Italy is looking for
an excuse for going to war wltn
Ethiopia.
THE liner Normandle, French-built
and at the moment the biggest
passenger ship on earth, crossea the
Atlantic faster than a passenger liner
ever crossed It before, averaging
39.68 knot per hour for the voyage.
A knot Is a nautical mile and is
the equivalent of 6080 feet, or about
one and one-sixth land miles, whicn
means that in terms of land speed,
the Normandie averaged a little under
35 miles an hour for the voyage.
That Isn't very fast In terms oi
modern speed.
WITH airpla"nesaveraging from
150 to 200 miles an hour over
long distances, the boats can't talK
effectively much longer about their
speed, and the time Is probably com
ing when a four-day boat or a five
day boat will have no particular
appeal for the traveler over a seven
day or eight-day boat.
Those who want speed, in the not
far distant future, will take the
planes, while those who want com
fort and a certain amount of leisure
while crossing the seas will aticK
to the ships.
Communications
Either Cruel or Useless.
To the Editor:
In view of the first paragraph In
the "Smudge Pot" Column of your
paper June 4th. I desire to supple
ment my letter of June 3rd in re:
kidnaping.
I have no controversy with your
editorial of the same vdate which
covers the problematical results so
fairly and thoroughly as to leave
nothing to be said.
Appropriations for the Justice de
partment and most of the rest ol
our law enforcement agencies comes
under the head of for detection and
prosecution of crime. In my opinion
the scope of such operations should
be enlarged to take in prevention of
crime.
In the case of an attempted Jail
delivery on the part of good but
otherwise frenzied citizens, or a
lynching, appropriate prevention
measures before overt sets are com
mitted may save a community more
heart aches, expense, and turmoil
than a dozen kldnaptngs.
The technique of modern kidnap
ing embraces, at least, three some
what prolonged stages in its con
summation. First the "snatch." then
the demands, thereafter the pay
ment. Part of the negotiations In the
case In question, If the press is cor
rect, were negotiated through the
columns of a Seattle newspaper.
Assuming the proposed law to have
been effective, and the authorities
as having stepped tn and said to the
parents: "We are not going to per
mit you to become an accessory after
the tact to this crime. We are going
to completely cover you against that
event, and so notify the criminals."
Just how could the parents be in
any way responsible for the fate of
that child?
Mr. Perry deplores the cruelty oi
some laws, particularly the proposed
one. All laws with teeth are cruel
to somebody, without teeth they are
useless to everybody.

I don't know the author, or where
It came from; I picked up a little
slip of paper and It had this on it.
Perhaps I am Ignorant In some
things; I admit that I am. But this
game of the renewal of driver's license
cards seems to me to be a sort of a
money racket scheme. I can't see
what It la for. This thing of having
to do that every two years? What
improvement anyway does It make?
It seems like spending a dollar for
nothing. And a dollar Is a lot of
money for some of us.

vertlsed widely because the adminis
tration la still phenagltng, trying to
straighten It out. There does not
seem to be much hope.
What has happened Is that two
Democratic congressmen are quietly
but determinedly resisting the new
deal pressure on the holding company
bill and rail legislation. One la Pet
tingill, from South Bend. Ind., and
the other Huddleston. from Birming
ham. Ala.
The new deal crowd has talked to
them, pleaded with them, and Is say
ing all manner of sharp things about
them, off the record, all to no ef
fect. They have effectively smoth
ered the two bills.
That Is what is behind the new
deal agitation you may have noticed
lately, favoring a change in the sen
iority method of selecting congres
sional committees. Even Vice-Presi
dent Garner has publicly urged some
thing like that. The agitation prob
ably will continue, but nothing will
be done about It.
The new dealers cannot ride over
Messrs. Pettlnglll and Huddleston,
but are moving to get around them.
That Is why the holding company
bill la being pressed to passage by
the senate first. After passage there.
It will go to the house, where neat
; scheme has been devised to keep It
out of the hands of the two bad
boys. It will eventually be approved
by both houses in substantially the
shape in which the new deal wants
it. The transportation bill, however,
may be modified considerably as a
result of the existing situation.
Confidential advices to the state
department Indicate that Japan is
about to move again in China.
Japanese military representatives
are now visiting the princes of inner
Mongolia. Troops and equipment ore
concentrated near the Mongolian bor
der. If the princes are good, the
troops may not see much action, but.
if they resist, you will soon be read
ing of another Japanese victory'.
Object of the new Japanese move
is to acquire control of the second
most Important caravan route be
tween Russia and North China. Ja
pan already controls most ot the first
one.
Washington Is so crowded with
government offices that the census
bureau Is planning to set up a head
quarters in Baltimore to take charge
of the new census activities. Office
space Is at a premium, even with all
the acres of new buildings recently
opened.
The NRA occupied more than ten
different office buildings here, taking
space wherever it could be obtained.
Farm leaders, both Inside and out
side the government, get together
each Tuesday noon at a downtown
hotel for what they call "the farm
hands' luncheon." There they thresh
over their problems. Prominent
among them are Ed O'Neal and Ches
ter Gray of the Farm Bureau Fed
eration and Chester Davis of the AAA.
AAA-ers have a large map of the
U. S.. on which red. blue and yellow
pins denote the results of crop con
control referenda. The colors seem
to be somewhat significant; red de
notes affirmative votes, blue is nega
tive and yellow ts a tie. The map is
almost covered with red pins.
