More G-Men, More Deputies AUGUST 20 Orlando Morning Sentinel said "Sheriff Karel needs help," and still means that.

"G-Men Needed" was an editorial caption to which the Sheriff replied August 20 with the statement that he had called on the G-Men and FBI J. Edgar Hoover for help in the Bird murder, and had received no assistance because Orlando and environs are not in a government reservation. In recent months Central Florida has had many murders, killings, disappearances, mysteries, May 10 Sheriff Karel cried for G-Men help. Hoover gave him laboratory assistance only. FBI, apparently, does not enter a local murder or killing unless it is on government terrain.

There are four FBI stations in Florida BUT "help is available at a moment's notice," quoting from the editorial, is a sion, a dream. "Get me some G-Men" is not only Sheriff Karel's constant yearning but that of many other law officers in 48 states. What to do about it? FBI should have more leeway, more officers, more power to deal with local cases off the reservation. Sheriff's office should have more, many more deputies. Cincinnati Enquirer, after a survey, says crime is cut in cities and counties having adequate staffs of police officers; those that have small staffs of law officers have more crime.

Orlando and Orange County should have a branch office of FBI and placed on a equal basis with Jacksonville, Miami, Pensacola and Tampa before a "crime ring" is fastened on our peace-loving, -abiding citizens, and Sheriff Karel needs all the G-Men he can coax here; furthermore Sheriff Karel should double his deputies. He is handicapped. New Refrain! MAN IS CONTINUALLY searching for hidden treasure--the wealth under the earth's surface. W. G.

Blanchard, formerly connected with South Lake well in Lake County, is going to "spud" in a well eight miles southwest of Live Oak, in Suwannee County. All hope that the Suwannee river will have a new refrain dedicated to Black Gold. Ism Probe LEGISLATOR TOM COOLEY, Lake Couny is calling his "Ism" committee together at Tallahassee to investigate radicals and radical movements and, according to press intelligence, "report to the 1939 Legislature." Meeting, probing Isms, reporting two years hence will not help current disturbances should they pop up. What Tom Cooley's committee should do is, assemble all evidence and facts, report to Governor Cone, and have Governor Cone transmit his findings to the Sheriffs' offices, and if necessary to the Florida National Guard. Isms do not notify a public-they jump.

An Ism can cause all sorts of trouble and damage at a moment's notice. Tom, Fred Co. should probe, probe fast, and if action is necessary to R. I. P.

Ism considerable speed can be effected by cutting red tape, legal and governmental. Theere is nothing to get excited aboutyet. Still, a public likes to know that protection does not crawl like a gopher. Hitler and Rotary RECENTLY THERE appeared a brief comment on this page over Dictator Hitler's adverse thrust at Rotary clubs in Germany but the comment, apparently, was under-played -every newspaper in Florida takes a rather savage and extended crack at the Nazi ruler. Clearwater Sun bellows: Adolf Hitler, Herman Dictator, has ordered his army officers not to join the Rotary Club and if they have already joined to resign forthwith.

Hitler is opposed to Rotary because of its avowed belief that world peace is a goal worth striving for. He declares that such an ideal is out of harmony with German national aims, The position taxen by Hitler is local news in practically every American city, including Clearwater, for each of these towns has a Rotary Club and each of these clubs is committed to the Rotary ideal of world peace and helps to finance the movement. Rotary is now established in about 60 foreign countries. The Hitler opposition is the first serious test to which International Rotary has been subjected. It will be interesting to note what Rotary does about it.

of course, Rotary can, for German consumption only, modify its program so as to make it meaningless. If it does that Hitler will allow Rotary to remain in Germany. We hope however, that Rotary will do nothing of the kind. We hope that Rotary will stand by its guns, accepting even expulsion if need be. To defy Hitler would be good principle and good policy.

To stand up to Hitler, accepting expulsion as preferable to abandonment of ideals, would show the world that Rotary is made of stern stuff and that i its peace program is not so much luncheon clapclap but is a living faith for which its exponents are prepared to make sacrifices if called upon. Plainly the world needs Rotary and Kiwanis, Lions and Civitans- any service club that has peace as one of its objectives. Perhaps history will record that Adolf Hitler in his opposition to the enlightening Rotary International movement has given that, and allied organizations, a boost which will encircle the nations and penetrate the rule of dictators and war lords. Clearwater Sun wants to know what "Rotary does about it." The answer is obvious: Rotary as other service clubs will stick to its own business of better relations between busines; men, higher ethics in business, striving for world peace, and anticipating good results as common sense sinks into people's minds. Water All Around ISLANDS JEFFERSON, Roanoke, Man-are playing a large part in Roosevelt's second administration.

Conservatives would like to stick to the mainland. Get the Rest ABOUT THE BRIGHTEST, most stimulating spot in Florida is that plot of ground west of Senior High School where the new gymnasium is being erected. After many years of working and planning, Orlando leaders are seeing their dream come true. There is little use now to try and enumererate the leaders or to praise any particular individual or group-the structure is going up, that is what counts. Keeping our high school students physically fit means a good investment for tomorrow.

The gym will help do it. School officials hope the building will be completed by the time the basketball season opens. Now that the gymnasium is on its way what of other projects--adequate armory for Company a house-car, trailer park; enlarged airport; Federal building? When one studies the untold beneficial results of a gymnasium there should be an equal incentive to push and complete other civic projects, vitally essential to a wellrounded city and community. Since 1859 A SYNDICATE, WITH a drawing by Friedman, publishes a picture of Apopka's "Masonic landmark" built in 1859. The old wooden structure is still in excellent condition and still in use, the story relates.

For long, Apopka was known as "The Lodge." Perpetual password: "Welcome, stay longer." On Tomorrow's Map EVERY TOWN, HAMLET, city and community in Florida wants air mail service, air transportation--they yearn and cry for these air connections which are more vital now than railroad connections years ago. Referring to Second Assistant Postmaster General Harllee Branch's statement that the proposed new air mail line from Kansas City to Tampa "has a great deal of merit," The Ocala Star declares: "When this line is added to the growing list of air mail routes, Ocala ought to be on it Why not? The west side of the peninsula needs fast mail service just as much as the east side does. The east and southern portions of Florida have a service at present. We are entitled to some consideration along the west and central reaches of the peninsula north of Tampa and Orlando." Somewhat facetiously The Miami News adds: "It (meaning Florida) would a lot rather grant Ocala that than the Florida canal." Leaving railroads, canals, highways and waterways out of the picture, air routes and cities with adequate airports will be permanently on tomorrow's map. "Air Mail Week," set for Aug.

So helpful has been the Institute that reservations this year are double those of a year ago.

Kiwanis Penpushers. SEVEN LAKE COUNTY editors are Kiwanians, and that is news. Last week all eight Lake County weekly newspapers published a group picture of the seven editors which will be sent to the Kjwanis International magazine with a circula tion of 200,000. Under the picture was the following copy: "Above are seven editors of the eight weekly newspapers in Lake County, Florida, all of whom are Ki. wanians.

Reading from left to right top row: bert Leach, Leesburg Commercial; S. C. Peacock, Umatilla Tribune; George C. Keller, Mount Dora Topic, and A. W.

Newett, Groveland Graphic and Leesburg Ledger. Left to right bottom row: Ralph Gore, Lake County Citizen, Tavares; Don Lochner, Press, Clermont and Jesse Lantz, Lake Region, Eustis. Lake County has six Kiwanis Clubs in a population of 28,000, the largest number of clubs in proportion to population of any county in the United States." Of course, able Karl Lehmann, Lake County Chamber of Commerce secretary manager, thought of the idea, seized upon the coincidence as a stroke of publicity. Well may Kiwanis be proud of those seven penpushers, plus John Lochner, father of Don, publisher of the Florida Newspaper News, a monthly trade magazine. When better editors are made Kiwanis will make -in Lake County.

PEGLER Roosevelt Copies Huey Of One-Man Control Some of us surprised to learn and some of his coat-holders are bers of Congress limitation on the so-called mandate of the last election, and have refused to go along with him in every dictatorial propossent up the hill. But it is only necessary to go back a very short time to the days of Huey Long's wouldn't be much that Mr. Roosevelt little friends and cross at those memwho placed PEGLER mock- in Baton Rouge, to see what sort of national government we would have if the election returns had been interpreted as a flat endorsement of every idea that might pop into Mr. Roosevelt's mind, or the mind of any of his political Brownies, in whatever form presented. Under Huey Long, the State Legislature represented a useless waste of money, for he strode thru both chambers giving orders like a football coach putting the squad thru signal practice.

But that was majority rule. A national Congress reduced to a similar state of docility would amount to the same thing, and if that is the will of the people expressed in the election returns there is no point in paying for all that mileage, printing and office help. OPENLY COPIES HUEY LONG'S STYLE Relieved of Huey's sarcastic opposition since the gun- play in the Says Long Style corridor, Mr. Roosevelt has more and more openly copied Huey's style of operation. Like Huey, he has used the power of his office to punish worry his political opponents, and, again like Huey, he takes special privileges for himself and his family and friends, as in the income tax inquiry.

In that case the details of the President's own income was held to be a private matter, and anyone who might have been curious to know just how much money Jim or Elliott has and precisely how, is still wondering. since their fattier became President, As for nepotism, one son is dropped into a good job in the secretariat, a cousin-in-law gets a $6,000 job and expenses, traveling around the world hanging chintz curtains in the Embassies, and a cousin more or less removed, turned out to be just the man to handle the politicosocial problems of the frog business at $10,000 a year. Huey got a taste of his own medicine when the national administration had some of his men indicted for alleged violation of the income tax laws, and his own political morals were observed again when, upon his death and the surrender of his survivors to the New Deal, the remaining indictments were dropped. The case was the tip-off and a disillusionment to many early believers for it showed that the administration occupied a common level of honestly with the man who had been recognized as a cynical and ruthless scoffer at political and civil rights. But it was in the Legislature that Huey was at his worst, and it would seem that Mr.

Roosevelt's friends would like to claim for him the same right to clap his hands, yell, "Hey, Bong! MY WATCH! CONGRESS ADJOURN WAGE HOUR 0. 0. M'INTYRE Says This Tax Evasion Stuff Is Pretty Asinine to Me From the mail bag: It is amusing the way modern literature sidesteps the month folk. We "in-betweeners" may not be so interesting but there are an awful lot of us. The hero in the story these days is either down to his last dime or painting his yacht--Mrs.

E. C. Tyler, Texas. This tax evasion stuff is pretty asinine to me. I go to a town in a neighboring State to do most of my shopping because, there is no city tales there.

We are not riding SO high in America as we might but we have it over every country I saw for liberty--and let us preserve it at all Pittsburgh, Pa. Perhaps I am just fed up with radio programs and should stop listening awhile. But it is my main diversion and I still tune in very hopeful.

Last week, for instance, there were only three important programs that were worth while. ask my neighbors what they think and most of them say they rarely listen in any more. That is a condition that should stir the stumps of the radio people. Radio needs a New Chicago, Illinois. You speak of being allergic to eggs.

That is not unusual. Nine years ago, when 37, I ordered eggs for breakfast on a Pullman diner. They were tasteless and I thought eggs. But never since have I been it was because they were storage able to eat them. If I try, there is you," and put the dummies thru the motions of voting Huey, of course, liked to mill around among the crowds and invade the floor, and his opinion of his Legislators was expressed in the memorable declaration that he could buy and sell them like sacks of potatoes.

He, too, professed to be progressive, the -poor man's friend and the enemy to the rich. He was so progressive that he impaired the freedom of the courts in Louisiana, used the tax laws for political coercion, rigged the elec. tion laws so that the opposition would have no chance, established a State OGPU to spy on enemies, tried to abolish the freedom of the press and declared that he would kick out of the State universities any dirty little--who dared to say a word against Huey Long. UNDER HIS SO-CALLED MANDATE Mr. Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court, he smeared with an unsupported, charge later of were immorality, admitted to have complied with the laws, and has taken the line that anyone elected under his so-called mandate is bound to obey as humbly as Huey's Legislators did.

If that is what the mandate of the majority meant, then the President, like Huey, is a one-man government, and anybne elected with him is a traitor for voting against any proposal from the White House, even tho it might call for the suppression of free speech. True, Mr. Roosevelt doesn't hang around the halls of Congress, but his presence is no less real, for it isn't far from the hill to the White House, and he has no trouble making his wishes known. The only difference between Congress and Huey's Legislature is there is some independence, opposttion and, perhaps a little conCongress. If those disappear after the next election the national government will be Louisiana multiplied by 48.

There are hundreds in New York who still make the rounds of the few agencies left hoping for a chance in the dwindling list of plays on the stage. To my notion they are the most gallant of the defeated. One has yet to hear them whine and the way they can make an old suit look natty and spruce is a bit of artistry in itself. They live in far away rooming housessometimes in -but show up almost daily, bright, eager and never complaining.

An attendant at one of public libraries tells me that the most avid readers of history of all sorts are the educated Chinese. She says they rarely read fiction or' biography.

Radio sponsors have found a new way of eliminating the fake laughs over comedians' jokes by the orI chestra. Audiences have learned to know when the laughing is phoney.

JAY FRANKLIN Says All Powerful Rules Committee Real Congressional Dictators WASHINGTON, D.

until last January, a great many people believed that ours was a democratic form of government, Since then, the Supreme Court and the Senate of the "rotten boroughs" have risen up to smite those who think that other people's votes should be taken seriously in between elections. And now the House Rules Committee, by refusing to issue a "rule" which will permit a vote on the labor standards bill, comes along remind us that even in the most representative part of our national government there is not much nonsense about government of, by and for the people. For the chairman of the House Rules Committee is none other than Tammany's Mr. John J. O'Connor, the gentleman who was beaten last December by Sam Rayburn of Texas in the struggle for the post of House majority leader.

At the time -and I was critical of Mr. 1 O'Connor's fitness for the job--I was warned that Mr. O'Connor was a very dangerous man to cross and that he would not rest until he had avenged his defeat upon the New Dealers who opposed him. The Rules Committee offered him his chance for sabotage. This committee is a device to direct, control and thwart the uncouth lunges of political democracy at Washington.

The people may think that they control a majority of the 435 members of the House of Representatives, but unless they control a majority of the 14 hand-picked hardshelled stuffed stooges on the Rules Committee, they can't even come to bat, let alone get to first base. Who are these powerful men? With three or four exceptions, they are nobody you have ever heard of before or would care to hear of again. There in addition to Chairman O'Connor, old Mr. Sabath of Illinois, labor-baiting Cox of Georgia, the Red-baiting Mr. Martin Dies of Texas, and the bitter Republican Mr.

Driver of Arkansas, Knights of Old Ride in Virginia NATURAL CHIMNEYS, Va. (U.P.) As of old, knights armed with steeltipped lances mounted rearing gers here yesterday to do battle for the glory of their ladies fair. Since they wore brightly-colored silk sashes instead of the traditional suits of armour, however, the knights will not do battle with each other. Instead, each knight will charge down a 100-yard stretch and attempt to run his lance thru tiny steel rings that grow smaller as the contest progresses. To the winner goes the privilege of naming the lady of his choice as "Queen of Love and Beauty" of the 116th annual riding tournament, of which the lance contest is the outstanding feature.

The tournament has been held each year since 1821, when it was inaugurated by the Virginia gentry in the administration of President James Madison. Many of the lances used by the contestants are 100 years old or having been handed down from generation to generation for participation in the lance tourney. Board Orders Vote Of Press Employees WASHINGTON (U.P) The National Labors Relations Board yesterday directed that an election by secret ballot be conducted within 30 days to determine whether the editorial employes of the United Press and the City News Service of Los Angeles, desire to be represented in collective bargaining American Newspaper Guild. The board ruled that those eligible to vote in the election include all editorial employes, except the managers of bureaus which consist of more than one man. Employes of the City News Service of Los Angeles were included in the election order, because, the board held, "the Los Angeles service is an integral part of the United Press system in that it serves U.

P. wires and is subject to close financial control by the. U. 64 years old; J. Bayard Clark of North Carolina; B.

Talk of "packing" a Federal body! Here is the group which has the power subject only to a painful and laborious process of petition to discharge to determine the subjects on which the House of Representatives may legislate. The average age of its members is about 57 years--which means that they are of the vintage of 1880-well before the first election of Grover Cleveland. Ten of its fourteen members come from rural areas, and the industrial regions are "represented" by an embittered Tammany politician. a septuagenarian from Chicago, and by two Old Guard Republicans from Grand Rapids and from Elizabeth, N. J.

And this is the group which, in cahoots with the desperate Southern conservatives, assume to forbid the House of Representatives to vote on the labor reforms pledged by the winning party in the last campaign. For those who like to see. the Democratic conservatives squirm and snarl as they put themselves on the spot, here is another "little list" of those who have made of themselves to the Wall Street Republicans. These are the "Democrats" who voted or were, paired against the confirmation of Hugo Black as associate justice of the Supreme Court: Senator Burke of Nebraska, Senator Byrd of Virginia, Copeland of New York, Senator Gerry of Rhode Island, Senator Glass of Virginia, Senator King of Utah, and Senator Tydings of Maryland. In addition, "Cotton Ed" Smith of South Carolina and "Burt" Wheeler of Montana failed to vote one way or the other, in an exhibition of parliamentary cowardice unusual even in this session political agoraphobia.

But the list is there now, and it's getting easier to remember it with every roll-call. Claims This Negress Is Lying in Reverse a digestive upset.

How the glory of the World War TAMPA (AP) Detectives described the alleged confession here of a negro woman who said she killed a man in Huntington, W.
