ft A-5 Graphic Aril 301 Entfrprliif AHII'II HOPE, ARKANSAS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1934 NEW PUBLIC WORK Here and There By ALEX. H. WASHBUBN- THE ASSOCIATED PRESS from Washington transmitted 1 the following dispatch to Tuesday morning newspapers: Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator, expressed the opinion Mondny that "the state of Arkansas is Hopkins was asked why Arkansas could 100 per cent federal relief." "It's not on '100 per cent federal relief," he replied. "For instance, the city Little Rock alone contributes $25.000 or $30,000 a month.

As for the state's think the state of Arkansas is broke. That's the reason." Tuesday morning's newspapers followed this, however, with a statement from Mayor Knowllon denying that Liltlc Hock paid more than $5,000 a month. XXX Arkansas had the misfortune to obtain a "drouth-ridden" reputation early in the 1930. We were truly hurt that year. And on our past reputation we have been wholly exempt from matching federal relief money ever since.

But in the very next year after the drouth, we harvested, in 1931, one of the best corn crops in Ihc history of tho state. Conditions have been as Rood, relatively, in Arkansas since 1930 as anywhere in the United States. Conditions nrc better in Arkansas in 1934 than for most nf the nation. The central northwest has lost its cash The Middle West has lost iUs cash But Arkansas not only has most of its cash it savec much of its early corn. XXX These are facts every well-informed Arkansas citizen knows to be true and our political representatives in Washington are doing the state un told business damage by representing otherwise.

The national business maps published by the various ratio journals represent the South, from Arkansas eastward, as being one of the best business dlslricls in America today. But our politicians say othcrwise- so that the federal government may continue to be pressured into pouring additional tux money into local precincts. XXX We don't say that we couldn't use the extra money. But there are two kinds of federal money. If tho government is proposing to spend additional millions for work relief this winter, as a new chapter in the national recovery is perfectly all right.

But it is wrong for us to continue to accept 100 per cent federal charily at a time when our sister of whom are worse off than ourselves this being forced to match federal money with slate and local Hauptmann May Be Mystery 'John' of Actual Kidnaping Newspaper Hears That His Alibi Exploded Under Investigation MAY GO TO JERSEY Possibility That Murder Charge Will Supercede Extortion Trial Washington Star said Tuesday that two secret witnesses had shattered the alibi offered by Bruno Richard Hauptmann to prove that he was not the "John" who figured in the Lindbergh kid- naping.

Officers said that renewal of a family row over a land title led to the The other murder charge is against Jake Henry, Sprudel negro, who killed Mose Maxwell, negro, about two weeks ago.

Mitchell Speaks WASinNGTON Brigadier General William Mitchell, retired, told the president's Aviation Commission Tuesday that "our most dangerous enemy ia Japan and our planes should be designed to attack Japan." He also called the loss of the navy dirigible Akron disgraceful, and said that with 50 dirigibles the United States could destroy Japan within two days if war broke out. Line Progresses president's Aviation Commission was told Monday that both lighter-than-air and airplane lines across the Atlantic and the Pacific arc prospects of the near future. Former Senator Hiram W. Bingham, president of the Natiinal Aeronautical Association, said dirigibles were better suited to ocean than overland flights. He advocated government subsidies for establishment of such lines.

Howard E. Coffin of New York, who was a member of the Morrow Aviation Board of 1935, said plans were advancing for construction of floating airdromes to be anchored in the Atlantic. The route would be vis Bermuda and the Azores, he said, and added: "Much the same thing will happen in the Pacific." Biiieham expressed conviction that German trade had profited from the flights of the Graf Zeppelin to South America, and French exports from that country's African air line. The dirigibles could be used by the navy for scouting in time of war. he said, if.

plans for constructing them were approved by the navy. The former senator also advocated reduction of air mail poolage to three cents for single sheet letters und two cents for postcards.

She stressed the fact that each individual has a choice to make in building his own life just as a carpenter has to make a choice of materials in building a house, and that Jesus, the greatest carpenter that the world has known, erected such permament monuments that all the forces of evil have not been able to tear them down. Miss Beryl Henry, superintendent of city schools, was the chief speaker on the morning program.

"Schools are primarily designed to encourage the child to live in harmony with his surroundings and home is the place for character growth and character development," said Miss Henry and gave several instances in which a childs character had been definitely formed in the home. She concluded her talk with the quotation, "Whoso loves a child, loves not himself, but God." Upon the motion of Mrs. Jim Henry, rising vote of thanks was given Miss Henry to show the love and esteem shown her by the entire community. Mrs. V.
