It prints the news impartially. It supports what it believes to be right. It opposes what it believes to be wrong, without regard to party politics. tCoiitinurd from I'urs One.) elimination of duplication and conflict among the various agencies, a weeding out of misfits, a settling down of government policy to a long range basis. The term "radical" or "conservative" is not uaed by those who are thinking th thing out.

They profe.is to want to keop away 'from either extreme. Instead, they want to make a practical solution based on the experience gained from the emergency program. They have in mind that most of the rest of the world has reorganised its governmental methods since the war. In Italy. It was Musbollnl; in Russia, the Soviets; In Germany, Hitler.

Prance Is now starting out on a similar path, although no once can see yet what way her organization is going to go. England's was worked out rather mildly through the Laborlte and National governments. Y'ou will gather from, talking to the planners that ours is to be the democratic equivalent of the reorganizations in the rest of the prominent nations of the world. B.H'KtiROl The planners admit that the hastily concocted alphabet soup was not strictly along democratic lines, that it was highly seasoned with coercion as a temporary necessity. It is their idea that the second phae ill be better rooted In principles of democracy.

Another thing they have found is that good soup cannot be cooked as fast ss this one was. Too many sour onions get in. Thousands of employes were selected on 48 hours' consklr.wtlon. When one of the relief organizations wa set up. It was Impossible to choose the best available men, or even to know what kind of men were being picked.

The need for haste Is now passing. That consideration sceirs to furniah the whole background of tone for the now thought calmer, more deliberate working out of the various problems. This means that any new or revised legislation found necessary will await the convening of the next congress In January. AITHORITY These deductions all rest upon the "off the record" assertions bythose competent to speak. It is what they have in mind.

It is the administration side of the story and Is possibly colored with that authority, but it fits in basically with what the Insiders here are expecting. It also Is rather unspeclfic. The New THE TRIAL OF FRED LOCK HART This newspaper dors not feel that the acts of Tuesday night's rioting mob on courthouse square can be defended, 5 but we do accept those acts as serving notice upon the authorities that there must be no dallying whatever in dis-. posing of the case of Fred Lockhart. The man is guilty.

He should be hung, legally, as soon as the law permits. Everyone knows that the dastardly nature of the crime was not the sole cause of the mob's attack. The American public, taken as a whole, feels that the courts of this country do not deal out justice swiftly and efficiently. The people resent deeply the free-and-easy pardoning of criminals. They have had enough of insanity pleas offered by attorneys who know their clients are sane.

They are weary of technical obstructions which enable learned counsel to delay cases, win them and capture fees which they would not get i wj i was- aSST KRASZEWSKl WROTE 10 VOLUMES A YEAR FOR 50 YEARS. but for the technical obstructions which learned counsel, as dominating factors in state legislatures, perpetuate.

NOT A MXRRYIM; FAMILY Mr. tarty of Moux City. Iowa, was the mother of It children, and nut one of them ever married. This "not the maming kind" family Is all the more curious because of the fact that the nine daughters and two sons wore all popular and well-llked in their younger das. hut Just seemed to prefer single blessedness.

One son became a priest, the other an Insurance man. Of the nine daughters two became teachers, two became sisters of charity, one entered business, and four took up housekeeping, TOMORROW "THE STRANGEST TALKER." In the public mind there is a very deep-seated demand that all of this dead-wood in the administration of justice be cleared away. There is a firm belief that a very large portion of the fol-de-rol surrounding the courts hinders the administration of justice, instead of expediting it. Walter Winchell On Broadway As Deal always has been that way, preferring to lay down general outlines within which It has comfortable lee-way for movement. The best news about It Is thHt It lUiHinnes there will be no further need for strong business stimulants.

In that cabe (which is representative), it Is Impobslble to estimate how fur production will decline.

Industrial recessions will be met, in part, by acceleration of the home building, PWA and private building programs, but no sensible person will try to guess how much. There are good reasons for believing that the summer recession will be less than seasonal, but that Is much predicting as can be done now. NOTES There Is some Inside talk about switching Commerce Secretary Iloper to Postmaster General Tar-ley's Job and letting Farley handle the Democratic. National committee, but nothing definite has been don about It. At a dinner here recently, attended by nearly everyone who amounts to anything In Washington, Ex-Sen.

Jim Reed received a bigger hand than most of the active practicing statesmen received. One reason the newsmen were half-Invlted to the Astor yacht for a fishing Investigation was to let them the president and stop all the WaA Street rumors about his being 111. Some of President Roosevelt's associates wanted him to make a radio speech last Sunday night so badly thi't they tentatively reserved time for him on the air. The liberals, who are dissatisfied v.lth the way the stock market bill has been torn apart, are being blamed for it. although, they deny It.

Apparently Mr. Roosevelt did not want to be rushed into anything. If you're acquainted with Th Great American Gesture? If not, here it Is: "it's the 'pulling down' business that women go through (after tinting awhile) to adjust the gadget that gives them that boyish form Len Golos says that when Joe Pen-ner played at an out-of-town theatre last week he found that the picture on the bill was "Wine, Woman and Song" He refused to appear until they changed the Ticker, saying that he attracts many children and didn't want kids to see such a picture.

That photo of Rudy Vallee. Adels Rogers St. John and yourself In hi life story certainly Is funny.

What O.O Mc Intyr Sees It Bombs for Patmos. No cash for Uncle Sam, The Wirt Mystery, Poor Old Trotzky. 11 ARTIM It tlUIMl (Cepyrl.ht. 134. Kin.

Feat. Hynt Ine.) A beautiful, Interesting Island la Patmos. It Is close to the Aegean Sea. at the far eastern end of the Mediterranean. It la close to Samoa, where the proud tyrant stood on hia roof and a servant brought him a magnificent ring that he had dropped Into the sea.

HI. cook had found It inside a fish Just caught. Ancient Greek, and Romans wrote about Patmos and lived on the little Island with its 30 to 40 miles of coastline. St. John the Evagellst lived there in exile and there wrote the Apocalypse with the four horsemen, Red, White, Black and Pale, and the "four angels atandtng on the four corners of the earth." the Elders, the Four Strange Beasts, the Seven Angel, with the Seven Trumpets and all the other marvels.

They still show you on the side of a hill the grotto In which St. John saw the heavenly vision. Nearly nine hundred years ago 8aint Chrlstodolus, established near the grotto the monastery of St. John that still exists, though with fewer monks and fewer priceless manuscripts. All this leads to the fact that Mussolini, annoyed by the conduct of Greeks on Patmos and nearby Islands, has bombed Patmos from the air, killed two and seized the ancient monastery.

If St. John had and heard those roaring Italian planes, dropping fearful explores, he might have written another exciting chapter of revelations. The monastery of Patmos Is highly indignant about that bombardment and the seizure of its property. It is a Greek monastery, how-eer. not Roman Catholic.

Mr. Chamberlain in charge of British finances, tells happy fellow-countrymen that conditions are good in England. "The past fiscal year has shown a profit of two hundred million dollars," and "the atmosphere is It Is not brighter for your Uncle Sam. Mr. Chamberlain also announced that 'he did not propose to make any provision for the payment of war debts to America" and the statement was loudly cheered.

It is to be hoped that President Roosevelt will. In hia own time, make a reply that will be "loudly cheered" on this side of the water. Money can be collected from Eng- land and other countries by a tax on all shipping entering our ports. We still own the ports and the clocks, at least that is the popular theory. They could not well retaliate since we own little shipping.

The United States would like to hear President Roosevelt say to the British, the French and the others. "There are several ways of skinning a cat. and I propose to show you one or two of them." Young ladies attending the fateful Virginia dinner at which Dr. Wirt thought he heard somebody call President Roosevelt "only the Kerensky In the revolution soon to be replaced with a genuine Stalin" testify that nothing of the kind was said. In fact, the young ladies agree that the dinner started with a monologue by Dr.

Wirt which outlasted the dinner, nobody else could say a word. You feel sorry for poor old TroUkv, despite the color of his politics. Fate put him in the Russian revolution, raising him to the heights. Stalin threw him out Into Turkey, he wan dered to France and guilelessly start ed organizing a "Fourth Interna tionale" to "put an end to all organized government." The French government puts him out of France, and he doesn't know where to go. He thinks the United States, but what with Professor Wirt and one thing and another he can hardly hope to get In here.

England used to receive all revolutionists, but some otoher countries may reject Trotzky to avoid offending the younger, more powerful Stalin. Nothing Is mor pathetically futile than trying to overthrow government at an opportune time. Governments oxerthrow themselves. Nobody can do tt for them. Prudhomme said It long ago, "Monarchies perish through poverty, republics through wealth." Poverty, misery and the bloodshed of a atupld war destroyed the czars.

Wealth stupidly used and abused In the United State has made Professor Wirt and others feel a little shaky. No Lenin or Stalin could have produced the Russian revolution. A big war and twenty million killed did that. Napoleon did It. when he said, standing by the grave of Jean Jacques Rousseau on "The Island of "But for Rousseau there might have been any revolution, but for the revolution there would never have been any Napoleon It might have been better If neither of us had lived." Here is a startling sequence, amazing sincere prohibitionists.

Peter Pollen, of the town of Conception. Trinidad, celebrated his one hundredth birthday feeling well. Celebrating he plunged Into rushing stream, "Wyma." rear his dwelling, aw am 3S yards, half a New York block length under water, came to the surface, crawled out and said: "My recipe for a long life Is to drink rum and smoke a pipe" Pollen married twice, has 17 children. In a new treatment for pneumonia fresh air Is pumped Into the affected lung of the patient, "giving it a chance to rest, and resist Infection." Also It brings on the "crisis" 48 hours aooner, before the dlseact hs made the patient too weak to fight. On no other basis can the people account for the high me of crime in our country, and the audacity of the criminal elements.

We make these assertions at this time because of a belief that the people want hard facts, not fond delusions, when disorder lifts its ugly head. We feel that a definite, direct challenge has been placed before the courts of the parish of Caddo and that the right reply to that challenge is vital to the. welfare of the people of the parish. At this writing the people have every reason to believe that the trial of Fred Lockhart will be expedited and that he will be hung without a single day of unnecessary delay. The practices which the people favor are being followed.

They should, therefore, give their public officials strong, open support, insisting that law and order prevail, refusing to tolerate a bit more of the lawlessness which broke out Tuesday night. This attitude, we feel, is made imperative by the immediate calling of the grand jury session and the apparent certainty that nothing will arise to postpone in any degree whatever the imposition of the penalty which Fred Lockhart must receive. Now that the first excitement has subsided it is possible to see clearly that Sheriff Hughes and Chief F.azer, and the men in their departments, met the emergency which confronted them Tuesday night in an extremely creditable manner. They shouldered their obligations as brave and honest men should. The people have every reason to be grateful to them for upholding law and order a priceless treasure in these times of world unrest and for refusing to turn the citadel of the parish government over to frenzied rioters.

For this reason, and for reasons recited elsewhere in the above paragraphs, The Times urges the people of the city and parish to rally around their law enforcement officers and their courts and to see that all disorders cease. This newspaper is not concerned a hit about what New-York, Chicago or any other part of the outside world thinks about what occurs in Caddo parish. We are concerned only with the true welfare of the parish and its people, and wc are convinced that this welfare will be best served by an Memos From a Columnist's Girl Friday-Dear Western Union phoned this telegram from the Townscnd Netchers (Constance Talmadgei from San Monica "We cannot understand how anyone could have started such a silly rumor, vould greatly appreciate it If you would deny same thank you" I replied that you said "New York commentators" had reported it Ruth Etting made a decent gesture today.

NOT A TOY Dangers inherent in the deliberate suppression of news are often revealed on a small Rut seldom is the effect of such suppression illustrated in a larger way, affecting the coarse of nations and the maps of continents. One example of the sweeping effect which news suppression can have comes from France. When Daladier was premier he decided that a friendly attitude toward Germany would, in the end, help France. "For a few weeks after the beginning of the Nazi regime the French papers published plenty of information about what was going on in Germany and then suddenly stopped," writes Robert Dell in the Nation. "Anybody might have thought that the French press was controlled by the German propaganda ministry and took its orders from Goebbels.

"It was an insult to the French people, who were treated like nervous invalids unable to stand the truth." The consequences of that insult are already written in history. Germany has crept forward to a position from which he can defy armament control. France has been wracked by upheavals. The entire European scene has been affected. Suppression of news, sometimes an obvious necessity, i3 not a toy to be played with carelessly.
