Ohio, as Second Class Matter. GTS COMES THROUGH Editor Eeacon Journal: I promised you before the election that I would write you a kidding letter, were I elected as ono of Summit County's five representatives nothwithstanding your not having endorsed me. Having been reelected for the fourth time as a house member, I will forego "kidding" you, but instead I wish to express my appreciation for the faith which the people of Summit county have shown in me. I did not spend one penny for either the nomination or the election, except to pay my filing fee. While others "campaigned," I worked at my job in serving my constituents, spending six weeks in Columbus after the assembly adjourned and spent about $100 of my scanty income for railroad fare and hotel bills.

And, "My dear Jack," speaking as one practical politician to another, I believe that to "do your stuff" for which the people elect you, is the best kind of campaigning any office holder can carry on, as well as being the best kind of "politics." When I went to school at old Jennings high, 50 some years ago, up on Mill we had a course on in our textbook, "politics" was described as "the science of government." Every man or woman who votes is, therefore, a "politician." We all ought to be more scientific about our politics and vote for men instead of voting for elephants or jackasses. I have never yet voted a straight ticket. GUS KASCH. assuring victory and continued power to those who at present deny the will of the people and who will compel continued obedience from technologists in the future just as they do today. The technocrats claim they are not interested in politics.

But, scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as ineffectual non-par-ticipaticn. Failure to fight and vote for progress insures victory for those who fight and vote for reaction. So-called neutrality, isolation or withdrawal from the battle contributes to self defeat. Refusal to support and perform constructive deeds today arouses doubt of intentions about tomorrow. A positive approach to technocracy is a realization of the needs of today, more organization, more demands for higher wages and standards of living, shorter workdays, restrictions upon profiteering, more interest in politics and politicians, greater use of the ballot, an offensive against reaction the extension of democracy.

To advise surrender of the ballot, democracy and the right to organize, for a prophecy is treason, the enemy using technocracy as bait to cajole free men into voluntarily abandoning those privileges which Negroes of the south, poor whites, sharecroppers and employes of greedy corporations are denied by force antl terror. It is an invitation for voluntary acceptance of dictatorship of the worst type. That portion of technocracy's program defeats Its promise of plcntilude for tomorrow. Where is the. wisdom of strategy to retreat just when tho democratic battle is turning inj favor of the people? i love democracy; I 111 4' Jto' A I i i v.

4 WW 1 iarUft i ItBS: 11 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1938. The Community Chest Is Next With the campaign out of the way, it is time to think of problems other than governmental. One of the largest in the near future is Akron's responsibility toward filling the Community Chest, the drive for which begins Nov. 14. Mayor Schroy made fitting reminder of this annual obligation in his radio discussion of the campaign last Monday.

Noting that "there is evidence on every hand that points to the normal, healthful return of business and industrial life in Akron," the mayor declared: With this renewed lease on life, Akron is preparing to lay to everlasting rest the last tattered remnants nf our now infamous ghost. The best method of demonstrating to the world that Akron is a living, breathing, humane city is to support to our fullest the coming Community Chest campaign. I am certain that none of us wishes Akron to falter in its upward stride. In the parade of prosperity and returning business, we want Akron to lead the state and nation. The only way to accomplish this is to build a sound city, on sound principles, with sound people.

I know of no better way than getting behind the Community Chest drive and seeing to it that it more than reaches its announced goal. The mayor does well to tie in Community Chest, needs with the upward trend in business. He has sounded the keynote of the city's most important annual humanitarian endeavor. May there be an overwhelming response from the moment the drive begins. The Editor's Notebook: ELECTION reflections Right here and now wc sign off as an election predicter Out of 26 guesses in last Sunday's Beacon Journal, we struck out on all but 14 for the puny percentage of .537 which might be a good average for the Cleveland Indians but looks like an empty poeketbook in Frank Nied's cigar store to us After this, we'll stick to football However, there's ample solace in that most of the important Beacon Journal endorsements came through.

The national results indicated plainly enough a strong swing away from the leftist policies cooked up in Washington by Messrs. Corcoran ami Cohen and merchandiser! to the country by that master salesman. F. D. R.

It came much sooner and far more decisively than con the keenest observers of national trends believed possible In keeping with the history nf national politics, Ohio is again in the forefront Taft and Bricker stand out as national figures in a field that certainly isn't overcrowded No explanation is needed for that wide grin Governor Davey will be wearing at tonight's annual banquet of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce Phil La Follette's defeat in Wisconsin still more definitely establishes Brother Bob as the No. 1 La Follelte Governor Lehman's reelection in New York was anticipated by business interests generally but they're really doing some cheering over at Detroit where they figure the wheels of industry will turn much faster now that Governor Murphy's days are numbered Nor did the same crowd shed any tears over Governor Elmer Benson's defeat in Minnesota Greatest thriller in Ohio and biggest personal disappointment was Walter Wanamaker's up and down. contest with Chief Justice Carl V. Wey-gandt who chose to ignore Wanamaker's thrusts at his record Weygandt's close call shows that even a chief justice can get too doggone dignified Unluckiest candidate for a major office is Ed Shcck who took it on the chin while fellow lepublicans were fairly tumbling into office all around him I imagine he's sorry now that he didn't lay one on Dow Harter's nose over at that Workers' Alliance meeting when Dow's boys tried to give him the bum's rush Best story to come out of state democratic headquarters is that Bulklcy actually promoted the debate idea and had it planted in Taft's camp Which gives us an even lower rating of Bulkley's acumen tlfan we had before which was something less than zero J. B.

Looker's promise to find Ray Potts a "good job" had its genesis some weeks ago at St. Thomas hospital when Ray said it with flowers to J. ailing wife The politicians could learn a lot from Mrs. Looker Leta ran J. campaign by telephone from her bedside and don't let anyone tell you she didn't do a swell job George Bender of Cleveland has come a long way since he was a precinct committeeman in the Warren Harding days Congressman-at-large and county chairman aren't bad titles for a country boy who started from scratch Collapse of Walter Rice's campaign was a parallel to that of Judge Arthur H.

Day in the primaries Just too much campaigning Voters get tired of hearing the same old story just like anyone else The. Flint I Michigan Home-Owners and Taxpayers league again used Akron as a horrible example in promoting its candidates for city commissioner "Shall Flint degenerate into a 'ghost city' as the once prosperous city of Akron, Ohio, has been called?" was the theme of half page ads can-led in the Flint Journal Yet the bond department of a large Cincinnati bank tells us that the Akron bond market has improved ever since the Sparks article in Liberty because it aroused a fighting, civic spirit in Akron which is now being favorably commented upon around the country A masterpiece of restraint, was created by the editor in charge of one of the Beacon Journal's early morning extras Although the election was clearly in the bag for republicans Taft and Bricker. he stayed on the alkaline side with nothing more positive than "Bricker. Taft Hold Lead." Next big scramble in local politics would have developed over the vacancy on the common pleas court if Judge Wanamaker had been elected to the supreme court You'll be surprised to know how many of our local lawyers would like to wear that "Judge" title Akron entertains an outstanding 1910 presidential possibility today in the person of United States Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Mis WANTS BOT7X.M Editor Beacon Journal: May I ask why we can't have our old column "Looking Back," by John Botzum? When you took over the Times-Press you eliminated this column and I think it was a big mistake. Please consider this request.

MRS. VERNON CARDEY, 619 Blaine av, New York Day By Day By CHARLES B. DRISCOIX Copyright, lllllX, By The Beacon Journal NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Pat Crowe, a talkative old reprobate, is missed by newspapermen in Manhattan since his passing, in abject poverty, a couple of weeks ago.

He was a melodramatic criminal in the horsc-and-liuggy days, and had the luck to go unpunished for most of his crimes. Some LEARNED A LOT FROM CRANE Editor Beacon Journal: Just a few lines to ask you not to take Dr. Crane's column out of the Beacon Journal. I think it is one of the most interesting things the paper. It is educating as it is interesting.

I think if some of the old fogies like Mr. Mallay, are afraid they will embarrass themselves by reading it let them turn to the funnies or some other page and read. I think if a column was in the paper a few years ago like. Dr. Crane's where the public could read it, there would be less dumbbells in this world now.

I am a married woman and I have learned a lot just by reading Dr. Crane's advice to people. Some of the things I read were similar to my own troubles, and so by reading Dr. Crane's answers to other people's questions it also answered my own. He tells how a wife can be a good wife and how a husband can be a good husband, and if some of the people would follow a smart person's advice like Dr.

Crane, then maybe there would be fewer divorces. As far as the young generation reading his column, I think it's a very good idea because they have to know things some time so why not know them while they are young instead of waiting until after they get old and enter married life and old age and still not know what everything is about. Young people have to be taught so why not let a smart man like Dr. Crane teach them the things they don't know? If it wasn't for Dr. Crane's column the Beacon Journal would not be half so interesting.

JANE. how, an Omaha jury thought it rather smart of Crowe to steal a. rich meat packer's son, and refused to convict him. Pat went all over the country boasting about it, boring newspapermen with highly exaggerated accounts of this and other crimes. While he did not serve the time he should have served in prison, he made an awful mess of his life.

He might have been used to illustrate this text: "Crime doesn't pay, even when you get away with it," I.IKES CRANE AND BRADY Editor Eeacon Journal: When you took over the Times-Press, I was very much disappointed to see you had omitted Dr. Crane's column, and was just on the point of protesting when you restored it. This is just a note of appreciation. I feel his column is worth th price of the paper. I also find Dr.

William Brady's column interesting and helpful. GEO. E. EVANS. INTELLIGENCE NEEDED Editor Beacon Journal: It seems as though the techno crats have William O'Ncil worried.

At least he referred to them in his recent speech. J. M. Cullman in last Sunday's paper told what he didn't know about technocracy. If Mr.

Cullman wants information let him investigate the movement as all technocrats have It takes intelligence, however, and I doubt if Cullman has the stuff to make it sink in. ANOTHER TECHNOCRAT, The Merry -Go-Round By DRKW PEARSON AM) ROBERT S. VIXEN opyriRht liillH, By The Be.ii-rn Journal TVrASIIINGTON, Nov. 10. For campaign reasons the plan has been kept shush-shush, hut behind those guarded statements about holding down lelicf expenditures is a secret program to slash WPA rolls on a large scale.

The president's aim is to pare the rolls down to 2,000,000 by March 1. That means a decrease of more than 1,150,000 from the Oct. 1 peak. The pruning will not be a forced one like that in the spring of 1037, when hundreds of thousands were dropped in a period of a few weeks. This time the deflation will he gradual, accomplished by not filling the places of those who leave voluntarily or are dismissed.

This exodus is a great deal larger than is realized. It averages over 7 per cent per month. In September the turnover was 228,000, or 7.6 per cent, of which 173,000 quit to take private jobs and the remainder were let out for various reasons, mostly disciplinary. Figures on the October turnover are still incomplete, but it will be well over 250,000. Under the recent plan, WPA estimates the relief load will be 2,750,000 on Dec.

2,500,000 by Jan. 2,250,000 by Feb. 1, and 2,000,000 by March 1. On this basis, barring another economic upset, a comparatively moderate deficiency appropriation of around $500,000,000 will be required to carry WPA through the remaining four months of the fiscal year. This is in line with Roosevelt's policy of gradually demobiliziing WPA from a major New Deal spending agency to a secondary and chiefly auxiliary role.

His plan now is to concentrate spending on national defense, thus build up the nation's military forces and at the same time minimize the need for the WPA, because large scale armament expenditures will create large scale reemployment. Nation O. Mather Something went out of the social, political and professional life of Akron when Nation O. Mather yesterday lost his long struggle to regain his health. His death at only 61 brings sadness to many hearts.

He was newly out of law school in 1890 when he came to Akron to establish his practice. Like other young lawyers of the period with a gift for rhetoric he took part in political activities. His services in behalf of the Republican party, then dominant in national affairs, brought him three successive elections to the Ohio state senate. One of his community achievements in that station was his sponsorship of a bill to establish north reservoir in the Portage lakes chain, to meet the then growing Akron's demand for an increased industrial water supply. He was a member of the committee which recodified the entire statutory law of the state.

Mr. Mather's training for success in the field of corporation law, in which he later specialized, was aided by the successive partnerships he formed with such distinguished members of the bar as Judge Charles R. Grant. Col. George W.

Siebcr, Judge Samuel G. Rogers and Arthur J. Rowley. He brought to his professional work a spirit of engaging friendliness, a keen understanding of law and policy, and native shrewdness. For relaxation he was devoted to outdoor sports.

He had a profound interest in keeping in contact with the ever changing current of modern opinion, and never lost the youthful and hopeful point of view. He was held in high regard by colleagues in his own field and a great circle of close friends. BITTER PROTESTS Popular as relief deflation may he with business men, it is already encountering vehement protests from politicos and from harried local officials in heavily populated industrial a reas. Peppery Mayor La Guardia made a loud squawk to the White House when he learned he could not refill 5.000 WPA vacancies. And a big-shot mid-western democratic leader flew to Washington and camped in Marvin Mclntyre's office, until the White House secretary let him in to see Roosevelt and demand that relief rolls in his district be reopened.

Also, in the inner circle there is much dissension over the policy. This is an old fight between the left-wing spenders and the right-wing budget balancers. Roosevelt leans to the latter. Every time conditions pick up he starts slashing relief outlays, much to the despair of the spenders, who contend that without heavy government expenditures there can he no lasting improvement in business. A WIIXITTS DEFENDER Editor Beacon Journal: There are times when it seems as though the newspapers write prejudiced articles against evangelists that are doing things for God, just because they have supposed grievances against them without a firm fountlation for doing so.

Monday's paper has a write-up of Miss Willitts' sermon preached Sunday afternoon, which does not do her justice. To tell or quote certain parts of a sermon that are preached at random and manipulate it in such a way as the Beacon Journal wants it to appear to the public to suit their own fancy does much harm and is misleading. You made it appear as though all preachers begrudged any money that is spent for anything besides necessities, that is not given for the gospel or to build churches. You know very well that Miss Willitts was endeavoring to teach that if people would give one-tejith of their income, according to the Bible, as readily and cheerfully as these worldly squawkers are ready to dish out for booze, gambling, movies and other temporal things, that the preachers would not have to ask for even one red cent. Furthermore, if you cannot by the Bible alone, definitely prova that the doctrines of the Bible which the Holy Spirit teaches through her are erroneous which no one has successfully done I think it is about time you either put up or shut up.

AUBREY L. DUNCAN. To Editor: Whether you print this or not, I mean what I say. Your paner falsely misrepresents Miss Willitts. You better cut it out.

Maurice Evans, who has been setting the town by the ears with his full-length production of Hamlet, is a pleasant, smiling, soft-spoken Englishman. He talked with Daughter Pat and me in his dressing room at the St. James theater the other night, at the close of the performance. He seemed not at all tired. Nor did he show the impatience that many successful actors feel they can afford when being asked rather unimportant questions by interviewers.

He has a perfect set of teeth, so smiling is becoming to him. He has the air of self-confidence that seems to be essential to the actor who is putting over a popular performance. Unlike a writer, an actor has got to believe in himself in a big way. Failing that, his acting lacks the force to put it across the footlights. We expected to find a completely wilted Hamlet after he had been carried off the stage dead.

The fencing scene at the close seemed enough to wear a good man down, even if he hadn't been shouting, stabbing and striding about the scenery all night. But there was Evans, as calm and easy as though he had just got up from a game of checkers. We asked what he does for exercise to keep in condition. "Well, really, there's no time for that," he said. "You see, I'm producer as well as actor.

I spent two hours in the office before the performance began tonight. "I have a little country place up the Hudson, near Nyack. I spend as much of the week-ends as possible there. Sometimes I go out there after a night performance, to rest. It's very restful and quiet.

I don't get unduly tired." In England this Hamlet has a yacht. He goes back to England in summer, because he. doesn't like New York heat. He swims a great deal, and is an expet at this sport. He's 37, and looks younger.

His Hamlet is one of the finest interpretations of the part I've ever witnessed. In Union Square is the tallest steel flagpole in town, rising from a monumental base of granite and bronze. All around the base are steps, of course. Equally of course, the steps are nearly always well occupied as seats. The other day, crossing the square, I stopped near the flagpole to listen to a political argument.

There was much excitement. I got close enough to hear the two principals tossing billingsgate at one another, but I could not understand a word either one was saying. The dialects were so much at variance that I don't think either of the contestants knew what the other was talking about. The crowd was out for blood. It shouted wildly to encourage its favorite, which was now one, now the other.

Amid all the excitement I observed an elderly man in clean, well-mended clothes, sitting on one of the steps, daming his socks. He may have been past 60. He wore a wind-breaker and a port of North Dakota winter cap with a visor and pull-down for the ears. He had on a pair of steel-rimnied glasses. He never once looked up from his work.

The socks he was darning were bright blue and white. They were as clean as any you ever saw, ami he had another clean pair on his feet. Those needles or that needle: I couldn't Vie sure which) flashed in the pale sunlight, and the fingers seemed as supple as those of a young seamstress. Maybe he was homeless, but if so, how did he stay so neat and clean? In any case, his quiet industry antl ability to mind his own business obviously commanded respect. There were no wisecracks from the neighboring derelicts, out for their sunning.

INVITING FASCISM Editor Beacon Journal: Technocrats justifiably criticize present conditions and explain how invention could provide plenty for all. What do they propose doing about it? They say there is no escape from the sufferings of the present and immediate future. Unions can't help, the ballot is of no avail, democracy is a failure. Resign to fate. The system will collapse and then, "if the people will deliver a mandate antl "if" the powers that be permit, angelic technocrats will assume administration; in the meantime they can't help either.

But predictions of collapse are no assurance that technocracy will inherit power. Systems have collapsed before, yet the special privileged have remained, to the sorrow of the underpriviliged. No new system can he spontaneously established, daily labor toward improvement is necessary at least to safeguard the victims of a decaying system. Counsel to abandon such efforts undoubtedly emanates from reactionary sources to maneuver into inaction rising resentment against special privilege. Once upon a time mankind was discouraged from efforts to improve its lot, by tales about the day of reckoning, when justice will be done.

Technocrats sing the same lullahy, asserting that in the glorious future technocracy will be our salvation. Painting pictures of a happy tomorrow, they advise non-resistance today, thus souri He talks tonight to the Ohio C. of C. on "What Business May Expect From Congress." If the Missourian can give us the answer to that one, we'll all agree he's presidential timber Gus Kasch is getting philosophical in his old age But he's got something when he maintains that to serve the people well is far "better politics" than drumming up the hustings for votes Tragedy of the day was N. Mather's death No one would have been more pleased to hear of the New Deal's reverses than the senator While the republicans are exulting in their hour of triumph, wc wonder if they will be wise enough not to he misled by Tuesday's returns A tide of protest against excesses of spending and reform should not be misinterpreted as a wave of reaction To go from one extreme to another would be a fruitless quest.

J. S. K. Poor Old Viaduct Summit county's proposal to issue bonds for 5215,000 to qualify for federal aid in repairing North Hill viaduct fared worse in Tuesday's special election than it did last August. It was beaten by a vote of 41,281 to 44,902.

A combination of ridicule and public suspicion killed this submission. It is admitted that Akron needs the bridge because it is the only convenient artery for business and traffic from the downtown section to North Hill. Rut. some one started the story that if the bridge had been built on sound engineering principles in the beginning it would not be necessary to overhaul it now. Others impeached the motive of the county engi TVA UP- When the supreme court hears arguments next Monday oit the long drawn nut utility suit challenging TVA constitutionality, it will be confronted with one of the largest documentary records in its history.

Forty-three hundred pages nf testimony, maps, charts and other exhibits comprise the record of this case, the most important New Deal test to come before the court this term. The action was started in May, by 16 southern power corporations, for the purpose of preventing the TVA from going into the electric business. Three months earlier the agency had I won an 8-to-l victory in the supreme court, but the decision was limited to Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals and did not affect other TVA dams then under con-! stnietion. The fortunes of war since have varied, the utili-i ties and the government each winning rounds in the lower courts. The last round was a clean-cut gov They Voted We.t, But The Akron district has demonstrated that it does not want to apply local option here upon the variegated plan of prohibition fostered by the Ohio Anti-Saloon league.

Only two such proposals carried, in the Stow and Ellet sections. In densely populated areas they were voted down. Dealers in the licensed trade should not misinterpret the meaning of this result so pleasing to them. They should rather reform the conditions that, have offended neighborhoods which sought the protection of the referendum. neering department, in erecting unsightly temporary barriers restricting use of the roadway to two traffic lanes.

These things, joined with institutional taxpayer resistance to any more bond issues for any reason, recruited votes against the improvement, In the long run this result will react against the community's own interest. When the bridge ia improved, as it must be in the future unless Akron wants to cripplo its progress, local taxpayers will have to shoulder the cost of the project alone. No help will come from ernment triumph in a circuit court, headed by Judge Florence Allen. The utilities have appealed from this decision to the supreme court. This will be the second time the case comes before the court.

The first was in the winter of 1937, but with Justice Cardozo absent because of illness, the court ducked the test by sending it back for retrial on a technicality which neither side had raised. I OPPOSING LAWYERS Heading the small army of utility lawyers will be Raymond Jackson, partner of the late Newton D. Baker, secretary of war under Wilson, who directed the launching of the suit. In charge of the government's case will be James L. Fly, youthful TVA general counsel, and John Lord Rrian, republican candidate in New York against Senator Boh Wagner and Fly's special assistant in the lower court fights.

Americanism: Preparing to spend a billion to enlarge the navy; crippling the navy we have by punishing initiative, rewarding yes-men, promoting incompetents who have pull, and dismissing able men disliked by some superior. Remember The Time In 1913? From Beacon Journal Files Of 25 Years Ago Scientists have found a way to double the stretch of rubber, which sounds impressive till you observe what we've done to the word From Massillon "Oscar Bamberger, 17, has returned home from a four months' hobo expedition of 12,000 miles through western and eastern United States, Wales and England-, with five cents more in his pockets than when he left here." b3Ww-j 1 Ladder Kickers The nation will hear no more of California's "$30 every Thursday" pension plan. In the state referendum the proposal went down under a wave of resentment and adverse votes. The result would have been in better equity if the same disillusioned voters who wrecked the plan had extended their reprisals to its sponsors. Instead they elected Sheridan Downey and Cul-bert Olson to the respective offices of U.

S. senator and governor for having contrived the "$30 every Thursday" fantasy, giving California its unpleasant repute for going from bad to worse with suggestions to find serial short cuts to Utopia. These gentlemen having obtained high offices by fostering the delusion, watch them now do an artful leat of ladder kicking at the expense of their deluded followers.
