Nor could It challenge chal-lenge the word of a sovereign na-tion na-tion regarding them. In other words, if France or Canada, or any other sovereign nation chose ' to uy American airplanes, the "United States could not set up a ,spy system to see whether those r planes were used only within the : country of purchase. After this policy had been established, es-tablished, the President left for the West Coast. While he was gone, the Greek Government purchased pur-chased 27 planes from the Bel-lanca Bel-lanca company. But when an export ex-port license was requested of the State Department, Joe Green, sanctimonious head of the State Department Munitions Control Board, turned it down. In effect he called the Greek Government "a liar," said that it was not ordering the planes for itself but for Spanish Loyalists, refused to issue a license. The planes, until recently, were still undelivered at the Bellanca plant in Newcastle, Del. CANADIAN PLANES Shortly after this, the Turkish Government ordered 42 Grum-mond Grum-mond pursuit planes from the Canadian Can-adian Car and Foundry Company in Canada. The Canadian Government Govern-ment approved the purchase, and 30 of the planes were delivered tu Turkey. Then suddenly Mr. Joseph Green of the State Department again bluck out his hand. Regardless of the fact that the planes were being be-ing built in Canada, and that the purchase had the official OK of both the Canadian and Turkish Governments, he decided that the.se planes might be going to the Spanish Loyalists. So he reached out and prevents ed the shipment of American airplane air-plane engines to Canada for use in the Canadian planes. Meanwhile, Mr. Green continues to OK arms shipments to. Germany, Ger-many, despite the opinion by various vari-ous New Deal legalists that such shipments are contrary to the Neutrality Act and the 1921 Treaty of Berlin. - MERRY-GO-ROUND Wisconsin Republicans are learning that to play on religious prejudices in a political campaign is dangerous business. To woo Catholic support against Governor Phil LaFollette, the GOP attacked his brother Bob for voting for Justice Hugo Black and for signing sign-ing last spring's congressional message of greeting to the Spanish Span-ish Loyalist parliament. But the tactics boomeranged when it was disclosed that Julius Heil, Republican Re-publican candidate for Governor, was an apostate Catholic and Fred Zimmerman, nominee for Secretary of State, was a onetime one-time Klansman. . . . The Government Govern-ment will broaden its case against "monopolistic medicine" by asking ask-ing indictments of Morris Fish-bein, Fish-bein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, and Olin West, AMA general manager. man-ager. . . . Secretary Morgenthau drives in a private car to a private pri-vate entrance of the Treasury Department and goes up into a private elevator. . . . Charles Edison Edi-son does not live on his salary of $10,000 a year as Assistant Secretary Sec-retary of the Navy. He continues to draw salary as president of Thomas A. Edison Industries. . . . Although Cordell Hull has been advocating Pan-American unity ever since 1933, he will oppose a Pan-American League of Nations when the plan is submitted at the Lima conference in December. . . The Navy Department has two headaches these days: danger of another Panay incident in China, and danger in distributing tickets for the Army-Navy football game. . . . Least publicized member of the Little Cabinet is the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Harry Brown. . . . When Washington named its streets, nobody objected to living on H or I or K streets, but they did object to living on J street, so J street was omitted. . . . President Cardenas of Mexico is sore at the U. S. oil companies for a lot of reasons, but especially because they hired professional publicists to put out propaganda for them against Mexico.

He'll gladly unburden un-burden his heart. The number of passengers on the "sidedoor Pullmans" is again nearing the heights of 1932 and 1933. Between 1,000,000 and 2,-000,000 2,-000,000 free riders most of them youths are beating their -way backhand forth about the country blindlyNeeking an answer to it all. Theirfruitless quest has carried car-ried half of them thru the west, many of them right into this city. Soot From Engine I rode the boxcars with them. At night I dropped into the same empty ice reefer to wall myself from the chill air. Grimy, smeared with the oily soot from the engine stacks, they're putting up with an exist-ance exist-ance that takes clinched teeth to face. The great danger of it lies not in falling beneath the grinding grind-ing boxcar wheels, but in remaining remain-ing too long away from home ties, getting discouraged, becoming becom-ing tough. As the nights grow cold and the damp weather sets in, they're wondering where they're going to be spending the winter. For the luckier fellows it may be back home. But for the others, the ones who are alone or strayed or a bid proud, it may be most any-wnere any-wnere the south, the "jungle" fire, more of the same boxcars. Their problem is not only the problem of this city but of every other city. Without new jobs opening up, they must keep wandering. wan-dering. I was told by one authority: author-ity: "Should Be Given Aid" "The youths who are hitting te A Hiraapi?nafl WasBnaMe 0&B(fltSn(B(fl (0) CALL US FOR PRICES OIJ OTBOIV GLASS AfJD GLAZING!

Meanwhile the western railroads rail-roads continue to be channels of roving young flesh. Each freight pulling in and out carries from 10 to 100 wanderers. The railway companies aren't bothering them so long as they behave. They're not riding the boxcars by first choice. To molest them would merely cause trouble. Now and then they're sleeping in a bed. More often they're grab-bine grab-bine sleeD where thev can find it on the rolling boxcars, in a vacant shed, behind a signboard. WJien they sleep on the top of the boxcars, they strap their belts to the walk to keep from rolling off. They're managing to eat. But they're not eating much. One Youth's Story On the outskirts of a western city I hopped a through cattle-freight cattle-freight that was soon dotted with figures of youths and older wanderers. wan-derers. After climbing up the iron rungs, I stepped along the tops of several of the moving boxcars ,and planted myself near a likeable like-able young fellow of about 22. "Where you headed?" I asked. "South Dakota," he told me. "It's my home state." "Your folks farmers there?" I asked. "Nat" he replied. "They're both dead. I been roaming around for six years now. I began working through California, Oregon and Washington, but things let up. I'm hoping there'll be something around Pierre." We rode together several hun dred miles. He sang some songs he had written, told me how he hoped to market them some day and make enough to settle down. I left him one night near a "jungle' "jun-gle' in eastern Montana. And when I said good-bye, I said goodbye good-bye to nearly every youth I met on the freights. They're all alike, human and sensitive like you and I. Ride "Hot Shots" They're not stealing. Ninety-five Ninety-five per cent of them are honest. They keep what money they make "rustling," hid. "It's poor policy," they say, "flashing it in front of that other 5 per cent." They knot it in a handkerchief, where il stays until hunger gnaws again. There are no empty boxcars, as a rule, on the thru freights moving mov-ing east. Nevertheless the thru freights are the best to ride, because be-cause they don't stop at every little lit-tle town. They're called the "hot shots" and stop only at the division divis-ion points. About 60 of us lined the top9 of the boxcars, of a thru freight across part of Idaho and Montana. Mon-tana. Among us were two girls in their 20s. They were headed for Minnesota hunting work. Also riding the tops were two youths of about 13. Carries Saddle Blanket-Almost Blanket-Almost the only property they have is the grip or the pack they carry. A frayed cap or. hat serves to keep the soot partly out of their hair. Besides these articles, a tattered brown saddle-blanket was carried by a youth I rode with in North Dakota. Cfespite its holes, we managed to keep fairly warm beneath it. The next mornine I boueht him his coffee and some doughnuts, lie had been going kind of easy on his funds, like most of the western west-ern wanderers. He figured to quit the freights for a day or two. He counted his money before we got up from the counter. He had 60 cents. "Maybe I'll find a job here," he jaad as I left him. - ''Yah. Maybe you'll find a job here," I encouraged 'him as I turned down the road after a freight. 'X : : ' , . , j V . V y j VS '$WV NEA SERVICE. INC -P Capacity Throng Hears Baritone BY GEORGE W. SEEDl Honored with another of the capacity audiences which have characterized lyceum series presentations pre-sentations here this season, Alexander Alex-ander Kisselburgh, American baritone, bari-tone, indicated the range of his vocal abilities in a perforinance here Wednesday night. As might be expected, the audience audi-ence showed favor for his native and English selections although certain of his German and French choices were well received. Novelty Novel-ty numbers and "The Tired Cowboy," Cow-boy," a composition of a Los Angeles An-geles friead of the baritone, gained gain-ed a heartening response, led to a repeat of the latter. Prof. Elmer E. Nelson was complimented in his appearance with the baritone as accompanist. Standard concert accompanists come to know the artist's every whim, distinctly advantageous when one considers the wide range of musical variety incorporated in the typical program. Without this advantage, Professor Nelson nevertheless nev-ertheless indicated his musical adaptability. If that airplane doesn't quit circling around here, she's gonna go nuts!"
