The youth, Albert Jackson, colored, living in the 200 block in West Vermont street, was captured by police and passersby after an exciting chase. He was alleged to have stolen a $10 bill from a cash register in a parking lot office at Capitol avenue and Washington street at 1:30 a.

m. Pau1 Wentz, night manager, pursued him, firing several shots from a revolver. Patrolmen McCormick and Stutes-man, cruising by, joined in the pursuit, and fired several shots also. As he raced across the Statehouse yard, the fugitive lost both of his shoes and the $10 bill. The shoes later were found, but not the money.

Oscar Trippey, age thirty-five, 130 West Vermont street, attempted to stop Jackson, but was unable to hold him. The fugitive, rounding a corner of the Statehouse, running fast, struck an iron guard rail in the darkness and fell. Leo LaFave. age thirty-five, 310 West New York street.

The country has read much about the appointment of William O. Douglas to be a member of the supreme court of the Unite States, but there is one phase of the selection which ha been overlooked and yet is one of the most significant aspects of President Roosevelt's decision to pick a man from inside his administra- There are no doubt many members of the bar equally qualified for appointment, but the President did not look beyond official Washington. Why? He has not disclosed his reasoning to anybody perhaps, but when the Presi MR, LAWRENCE dent promoted the chairman of the securities and exchange commission, he sent a thrill of satisfaction throughout the entire body of younger men who have come here under his administration and worked far beyond the maximum hour provisions of modern labor laws, late at night and on holidays and week-ends, trying to perform a public service. One does not have to agree with the economic philosophy or the tenets of political doctrine which these younger men hold to concede that, in their zeal for work, they gave boundless energy and unfailing loyalty to their jobs. To be the head of the securities and exchange commission in times like these young men hold to concede of both an administrative and judicial sort that the government nowadays possesses.

Mr. Douglas earned the right to be considered. His promotion was a reward for faithful service. Principle Reappears. And now that the question arises as to who should fill the place vacated by Chairman Douglas, the same principle comes up again.

The present members of the com-cission have given of their time and energies without stint. From among them a successor doubtless will be chosen, rather than from the outside world. they have earned the right to be considered, and besides they know the work. On each separate occasion heretofore the President has promoted a member of the commis-Eion. It is natural that, as between Republicans and Democrats on the commission, the President should give first consideration to Jerome! Frank, Democrat.

Mr. Frank is an indefatigable worker. He had experience with the laws of corporation finance before he came here and, while an ardent New Dealer, he enjoys in Wall Street the reputation of being fair and considerate to those with whom he may disagree. Not long ago. Mr.

Frank was being prominently mentioned for a vacancy which existed on the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, and it has been suspected for some time that Mr. Roosevelt might wish to appoint him to the judiciary. Likely to Be Retained But, at the moment, with the vital importance of continuity of administration in the securities and exchange commission, the services of Jerome Frank are much more likely to be retained by the President for chairmanship of the commission. It would be in line with the policy of promotion which the President has himself developed. Thus, for instance, two out of the last three appointments to the supreme court of the United States were given to men who had served the administration in official positions here Messrs.

Reed and Douglas. In the case of Mr. Reed, he served as general counsel of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation under the Hoover regime as well as under the Roosevelt administration, and served, too, as solicitor general. Every one of these men, including Jerome Frank, could be earning many times the salary paid by the government if engaged in the practice of law or in some position with large corporations. The fact that these men without large incomes prefer to give themselves to the government service, emphasizing the service motive instead of the profit motive, is an essential counterpart of the demand that has been growing for some time concerning the importance of a highly trained personnel in governmet.

Prerequisite, of course, to the success of such a system is that there shall be adequate promotions and rewards, and that's why President Roosevelt, in watching for opportunities to give promotions to the men who render honorable service at relatively little pay, is blazing a new trail which is giving incalculable encouragement to the younger men in government. The foregoing opinions are those of the writer and are not necessarily those of The News. Editor's Note. WOUNDED DRUGGIST STILL CLINGS TO SLIM CHANCE W. Clyde Menaugh, age fifty-eight, north side druggist who was shot by a colored holdup man last week, remained in a critical condition at St.

Vincent's Hospital today. No improvement has been noted in his condition, and little hope is given for. his recovery. Because of the druggist's condition, surgeons have been unable to remove the bullet that the bandit fired into Menaugh's side when he resisted a holdup attempt in his pharmacy at 2960 College avenue. Police have been unable to trace the assailant.

Boake Carter History Repeats. French in Tunis. Our Place Is OUT! tance. We de Hitler's "protectorate" over Bohemia, Moravia end Slovakia as a wretched fraud which it is, of course. i with thr imnli- part of French territory ostensibly it is a French "protectorate." Franc controls the foreign relations, hai military occupation, runs the courts, finances and trade of the country.

As an indication of how history repeats itself, time and again, and how most of us forget history, a word on how France obtained this protectorate might not be amiss. France took control of Tunis in 1881. There were 700 Frenchmen in Tunis, compared to 11,000 Italians. The explanation was that there had been "border raids" from Tunis into Algeria the same explanation Mussolini gave to start wiping the floor with Ethiopia! Algeria, said the French, had to be defended and Tunisians taught to respect the French flag and French territory. To put across the deal, the French cabinet under M.

Ferry resorted to open and clear-cut deception of the French parliament. He also de ceived deliberately the French pub- lie. The cabinet declared it did no, seek any conquest nor desire any territory. As M. Ferry put it (I use hs exact words in addressing the French parliament) "The French Republic has solemnly repudiated all notions of annexation, all ideas of conquest, in launching this expedition." When the French parliament had received these solemn and public assurances as to the limited and aboveboard character of the expedition, it voted the necessary credits for the troops.

Then the cabinet forced a treaty on Tunis and explained that Tunis had become an "ally" of France! It might also be mentioned that at the time of the French invasion of Tunisia and the establishment of the so-called "protectorate," the Italian government grew so angry that it entered into the triple alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1882. It is even more interesting to able to record that such a distinguished statesman and world war ally as Clemenceau bitterly attacked M. Ferrj' for his misrepresentation and his camouflaged policy of conquest. As a result of Clemenceau's attacks, Ferry had to resign. The "protectorate," however, continued under his successor, Gambetta, and is still in effect.

A treaty of 1883 formally ratified the French "protectorate." History repeats in that, through the blundering of British and French diplomacy in the Ethiopian affair, Italy again grew so angry that she repeated what she did in 1882 flounced into the arms of Germany and formed the Rome-Berlin axis! We do not suggest that one wrong piled atop another wrong makes right. Hitler's "protectorate" over Moravia, Bohemia and Slovakia i.i thoroughly fraudulent. That France did the same thing years before in connection with Tunis does not justify Hitler's act in Czechoslovakia, But we do suggest most emphatically that there is nothing about "morality" or the "saving of democracy" in the whole affair in Europe today. We point out that France merely got in on the ground floor in Tunisia and, having gained possession, tries to kid the rest of the world especially Americans than those who would take Tunisia from her are brigands and scallywags for copying her! When we become enraged and the "world savers" publicists begin pounding that as Americans we are supine, cowardly and thick-headed because we don't rush madly over to Europe to avenge conquest camouflaged under the name of "protectorate," we might remember something about the French protectorate over Tunisia. The dispute about Tunisia Is the most dangerous problem in Europe today and more likely to provoke war than anything else that may occur on continental Europe.

The question that America should remember is: Do we or do we not help one gang of thieves against another gang of thieves? The thieves that have the loot clothe themselves with the mantle of great morality and say: "Uncle Sam, save us! Saving us. you will be saving yourself." The thieves that want to steal the. loot from the other thieves denounce us as meddlers. We saved the first crop of thieves twenty years ago and made the world safe for a new set of thieves. We weep over the fate (conjured in our minds) of the ground-floor thieves, but that doesn't prevent them from stabbing us in the baclc in South America at Lima?

As operator of his own business more recently, he still has found frequent use for the selling principles he learned on a paper route. Like numerous other newspaper! carriers in Indianapolis about 1910 young Ambuhl used a horse and wagon to cover his long route. He remembers, too, th extra paper sales on election day. when any carrier who owned a wagon could cover more than the confines of his delivery route. On those days, ne recalls, he would load his wagon with extras, get an assistant, and capitalize on the public's anxiety to get the latest election reports Nor was carrying papers the only business venture of Ambuhl as a youth.
