State Press Comments Upon
Freedom Move for Banks
HONEST PKTB "IN DUTCH"
In the demand of a Jackson coun
ty Orange for the resignation of
Peter Zimmerman and Alfred
Slaughter from the executive board
of the state Orange there Is a warn
ing against "liberalism run amuck."
Politically the Orange in Oregon Is
liberal, constructively libera). That Is
why the members of the orange for
so many years have Invited and ac
cepted the leadership of men of lib
eral thought.
But when men who have been
spokesmen for the organization and
claimed a large share of Its support
embark on any such enterprise as
the campaign to free L. A. Banks
in the name of liberalism, a good
many people revolt. Peter Zimmer
man and Dr. Slaughter have been
popular In the Orange. Zimmerman,
In particular, Is an extremely like
able chap, sincere, earnest. But he
la being dragged down by aome of
the reckless schemers who have at
tached themselvea as tails to his pol
itical kite.
It Is natural that the first revolt
should come In Jackson county
where the memories of the Banks
feud are still acute, but the upris
ing against the tactics of the radical
wing is likely to become general over
the state. The whole scries of man
euvers planned to embarrass Gover
nor Martin and make a build-up for
"progressive change" is too transpar
ent. The good natured Zimmerman Is
being used by ambitious planners
cleverer than himself. Through him,
to some extent, the Orange is being
used, at least In appearance. That
Is why the revolt.
Mr. Zimmerman and Dr. Slaughter
have come to a turning point In
their careers. They can stick wKh the
people who have always stuck by
them, or they can go on with their
new friends chasing the rainbow of
vague political hopes. Eugene Register-Guard.
A MOVE OF TROI 'ill-E MAKERS
Scrutiny of the names of the peo
ple behind the current move to ob
tain a pardon for Llewellyn Banks,
Medford editor who climaxed a long
political turmoil In Jackson county
with the shooting and killing of a
constable who went to arrest him,
does not tend to create much con
fidence In the motives of the peti
tioners, or In the Justice of their
cause.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE, OI
Ethiopia, calls upon his subjects
to follow him Into battle, declaring
that It Is better to die free than to
live without liberty.
There are still a lot of Americans
who will agree with that sentiment.
Oddly enough, they will be found
among those who have the least
to say, rather than among those wno
talk the most and the loudest.
WHEN EmperorHsj)e Selassie calls
upon his subjects to FOLLOW
HIM Into battle, he means Just
what he says. He will personally lead
his armies Into the actual fighting.
He Is an old-fashioned ruler, you
know, around whom the tide oi
modern progress has flowed, leaving
him more or less alone with hla an
cient ways.
It used to be that those who
STARTED the wars did their snare
of the fighting, but in these more
modern days the diplomats stsy care
fully behind the lines,
A DISPATCH from Moscow (Rus
sia) says:
"A plan to build a workers' party
In the United States waa outlined
today by William Z. Foster, once
communist candidate for President
of the United States."
V stand that Mr, Foster's scheme
will be all plan and no work. The
real workers In this covin try don't
gather Into political parties. They
start a business and TRY to make
It go, thus providing work and
wsges for people who need them.
YOU NOTED, perhaps, this head
line : "Tax Collections to Be
Continued."
The particular reference la to
processing taxes, as effected by tne
decision of the U. S. circuit court
of appeals at Boston. But the state
ment Is literally true, anyway you
look at It.

THE PROFESSO
This Is the Professor's story:
I was In Munich, Germany, for
eight months during the years 1930

One day while
walking In the
"English Garden"
I spied a young
couple fondly
petting. There
remained in me,
although I am
past middle ac,
a mischievous
desire to startle
the lovers. I
gathered up a
snowball, which
I tossed, as I
have done during
my young days, at them ....
Immediately my arm fell as If
paralyzed to my side and hurt ex
cruciatingly. Soon though the pain
was gone and so was the couple.
In two or three days my arm be
gan again to hurt. I used electric
pads and hot water packs but to
no avail. I could s'.ccp very Utile
Then I sent for Dr. . a
teacher of nerves In the University
of Munich. I shall never forget his
diagnosis of my trouble. Lifting my
arm to a horizontal position ( I
couldn't lift it high) he pressed a
nerve tn front and said no, not
neuritis; then in the rear no. not
arthritis; then In the middle di
rectly In the socket, and my pain
was acute. "Bursitis' he pronounced
It. "Glass arm," I said. He had nev
er heard this name, and I had never
heard the name bursitis.
"What are you doing for It?" he
ssked. I told him I was using heat.
"Just the wrong thing." he blurted
out. "Now follow my treatment and
in three weeks you will take your
arm out of the sling, but do not lift

One left-wing congressman has on

The reason is that the congressman
tried for a month to see the presi

conference, though he was a leader In
the flsht for the TV A amendments.
Finally he boiled over and sent a mes
sage to the president through another

sometimes
10 miles. H. G.
Wells is a s-urdy
rambler. And George Bernard Shaw's
flying whiskers through Irish lanes
were Jong a familiar sight. Meredith
Nicholson did a magnificent poem on
the swings outdoors.
Dickens must have laid many miles
of London sidewalk to heel to know
the streets and mews so Intimately.
Pepys makes frequent references to
his fatiguing strolls. Robert Louis

So In the hope of inspiration I
went glpsylng today. There's no bet
ter place to begin a walk than at that
city crescendo. Fifth avenue and 42nd
street. To move by fit and start
until one has reached such an un
broken meander as Central Park. By
that time the mind may be Jiggled
to a philosophic plane.
A lean and young fellow biped out
of the surrounding press eddied with
me a moment before a flashing dis
play of shirts and ties in a Budd's
window. He wore a cattleman's hat
and a comfortable homespun suit the
Texans call "store bought." "That
yaller one there," he observed, point
ing to a aunsetty cravat, "Is right
purty." So we slid Into easy conver
sation. He had been doing a bit of
vagabonding himself. progressing
from the Panhandle afoot, by bus
and hitchhiking. Shuffling a bit un
easily, he inquired in embarrassed
blurt: "Where is this hero Sally Rand

Adventure No. 2 took place In front
of the Imposing mansion which the
Junior Vanderbilt recently ta-taed.
Another casual of the sidewalk mis
took me for a strolling directory. He
inquired how to get to a place called
Jimmy's. He was a shade bewildered,
thoroughly dispirited. It was some
where right off the avenue. He had
tarried there many hours night be
fore. There was a hot check girl
named Eleanor. He had left a pack
age with her and came away without
It. He hod a claim check but lost It.
"I'm in a hell of a fix," he said, and
looked It.
Near the St. Moritz I came upon a
newspaperman indulging the ankling
art. His day off and he was in mood
for caper. But he had no sheet of
blank paper awaiting and at a side

I ventured my envy. He thought all
columnists should express the free

to him, Llppman writes when he

I was told, Llppman, Instead of the

I reflected awhile on a bench under
a wistaria bowered pergola. Dozing
In an Invalid's chair was an elderly
Mark Twain gentleman whose face
was a delicate chiseling from pain.
Once he opened his eyes, glanced at
me and smiled shyly. A moment later
he winced, paled and a male nurse

REP. FISH BRANDS
SOCIALISM, EPIC,
NEW DEAL ALIKE
CHAUTAUQUA. N. Y-. July 20 .TP)
Representative Hamilton Fish. Jr.,
member of congress from the presi
dent's own New York state district,
declared today "there is little differ
ence between 'epic. 'the new deal'
snd 'socialism'," as he debated Upton
Sinclair on the constitutionality of
the "end poverty In California" plan
the latter sponsored.
"In society, the new deal, epic and
socialism are as alike as two peas In
a pod," Fish continued, "not neces
sarily of the same size and shape but
substantially the same. The differ
ences in these three principles are
more in the name than in the prin
ciples. They differ only in the extent
or degree in which thty seek to un
dermine our constitutional and rep
resentative form of government snd
American system."
Sinclair previously had said every
thing proposed through "epic" was
already being done by the govern
ment In one way or another and his
plan was constitutional.
"The new deal. epic, and socialism
are triplets united tn favoring
In bringing about a new social and
economic order or revolution and
scrapping the American system based
on wisdom and experience of the
past," Fish said.
