Bad Season For Ringling Is
Held To Be No Deterrent
To 1939 Opening 17
Shows Still Operating
NEW YORK (UP) It has been
tough year on the nations $100,000.
000 circus Industry, but "the circus
will come back It always does."
That reassurance comes from Roger
Uttleford of Billboard's circus de
partment, a man who knows his tan
bark and canvas.
'Rlngllng Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey has folded for the season," he
said, "but It's certain to be back next
year. Circuses hare gone through bad
times before, but the circus has al
ways survived. In 1933 there were
hardly any shows on the road. Next
year there may be scores."
But when Ringling Brothers, the
"greatest show on earth," announced
at Scranton, Pa., that It would cut
short the regular 30-week season and
move back to winter quarters, the
entertainment world was shocked. It
was the first Incident of Us kind,
Involving a major "railroad show," In
the 60 years since the circus had be
come an established institution In
America.
Affects 1,600 Persons
Millions of circus fans, not all of
them children, were deprived of one
of their favorite amusements, and
1,600 roustabouts and performers had
their Income curtailed. Tears were
hed.
Two other shows Downey Brothers
and the Tim McCoy Wild West show
had closed during the season, but
17 still are operating despite general
ly bad circus conditions.
Of the 17. four are "railroad shows"
Cole Brothers In Massachusetts.
Robblna Brothers In eastern Canada
and New England. Al O. Barnes and
Sells-Ploto In the northwest and Ha-genback-Wallace
In western Canada.
Thirteen are smaller, motorized com
panies. Ringling Brothers started' the sea
son under new management with
what was said to be Its greatest com
bination of performers, roustabouts
and animals In history. Newly
"streamlined," It started out with,
expectations of a great season.'
John Klngllng North and his broth
tr, Henry, had with the aid of an
aunt, Mrs. Charles Ringling. acquired
control of the circus In December.
1937. In so doing, the sons of Ida
Ringling North, the late John Ring
lings only sister, had brought the
show back Into the family which had
carried It to Its greatest heights.
Trouble at opening;
tabor trouble developed at the
opening In Madison Square Garden,
however, and flared again In Scran
ton after the circus had run Into a
streak of bad show weather. John
Ringling North asked everyone, from
executives to roustabouts, to take a
35 per cent cut in wages. The roust
abouts and performers union, the
American Federation of Actors, had
obtained raises a year ago which lift
ed the roustabout pay to 60 a month
with food and transportation. The
union refused to take the cut North
said the closing did not mean the
end of Ringling Brothers. He said the
circus had a 250,000 stake In ' its
treasury with which It would start
again next year.
The Ringling Brothers once were
(even. Before the turn of the century
they started on a small scale at Bar
aboo. Wis., and built their circus un
til, upon its consolidation with Bar
num in 1918, It was indeed "the
greatest show on earth," the ta;
which the late Dexter Pellowes made
synonvmoua with Ringling Brothers
and Barnum & Bailey everywhere.

will tell you quit frankly:
we've gone far enough and fast
enough In these last six years. In
1040 the Democratic party ought to
nominate a middle-of-the-roader."
The truth la that these men are
already at work for a middle-of-the-
roader's nomination. The organiza
tion Democrats, from Jim Farley
down to the precinct workers, are
not going to let the president s mug
wump Intimates capture their party
without a struggle. And even Buch
personal followers of the president
as Henry Morgenthau would not
weep to see the White House ad
visers given their come-uppance.
Thus the daring little White House
raiding party Is going to have a
hard time capturing and reshaping
the Democratic party. Because ot
the president's huge personal follow
ing, they will probably be about 50
per cent successful In their war
against Democratic heretics In the
summer primaries. That will not be
enough. They- will still have to face
the 1940 convention with no real
asset but the president.
Great though his prestige may be.
the president cannot Impose a small
statured candidate on the conven
tion. And there Is the final obstacle
which he and his advisers must
overcome. They have no candidate.
Had Secretary of Agriculture Henrv
A. Wallace played his cards more
shrewdly, , he might have received
the august Imprimatur, but his neu
trality In the Iowa primary has
earned him the furious enmity of
the men around the president. Had
Bob Jackson been put over in New
York, he would, have served quite
admirably.
But as it Is, the 100 oer cent New
Deal state governors are poor crea-
turea at best. No member of the
cabinet but the impossible Ickes
meet the 100 per cent requirement.
The suitable 100. per centers in con
gress are obvious blatherskltea or
otherwise unavailable. There Is not
a first-ranking Democratic politician
in the country who would suffer
men of the type of the White House
advisers In his entourage, and with
out men of this type, the New Deal
cannot be perpetuated.
The puzzle can be simply stated.
The president and his advisers have
little chance to control the conven
tion. They have no candidate. How
then to perpetuate the New Deal?
There Is one simple solution. If
the president were to present him
self to the convention, his party
could hardly refuse him renomlna-
tlon. To be sure, the president does
not want to run again, but. when
tne time comes, there will be no
lack of voices to persuade him.

UNI CREEK AREA
( Con tm ued from Page One )
No forest fires occurred on land
under protection of the state forest
department. Both national and state
forestry officials, however, were con
cerned over predictions of more elec
tric storms this afternoon and to
night. All but one of the 13 fires on the
Rogue River national forest occurred
on Trail and Elk creeks. One oc
curred above Union Creek on the
Umpqua divide. It was reported that
the largest of the fires covered about
four acres.
Forester Injured.
A report received at heaaaarters
here this afternoo. said that Marlon
Nance, a Junior forester on the fire
lines, had Injured an arm. It was
thought the Injury was not serious.
Reports were still lacking thlf after
noon on the progress being made by
the flre-flghtlng crews, as most of
the blazes- occurred In inaccessible
parts of the forest. In most instances
equipment and supplies had to be
packed In by hand or by horses.
All the fires occurred between 4
and fl p. m. Crews were dispatched
immediately and were on the fire
lines all night, continuing to combat
the blazes today without relief.
All of the protective force of ten
expert firefighters of the Union Creek
district were dispatched to the fires.
The crew was augmented by 28 men
from lumber company operations and
16 youths from the South Fork CCC
camp. Homer Hixon, district ranger,
was In charge. -
Pumper Dispatched.
A pumper from the forest ware
house here was sent to the Umpqua
divide fire, a short distance from the
Tiller-Trail highway.
While reports were lacking today,
lookouts reported that the fires were
not. smoking up, and this was Inter
preted by headquarters to mean the
blazes were under control.
While It was assumed that the two
lightning strikes in the Biute Palls
district had been quenched by rain,
a careful surveillance was being
maintained today In case fire flared
up. The strikes were near roads
where any resulting fire could be
reached quickly, headquarters t said.
Yesterday's rain brought a drop In
temperature after the mercury had
climbed to 08 degrees, only one un
der the top of 99 for the year to
date. Official forecase was for partly
cloudy and cooler weather tonight,
fair tomorrow. Electric storms In the
higher elevations were predicted for
this afternoon and tonight.
Yesterday's storm was the first of
the year to cause forest fires.
