TELEPHONES: Business Office Advertising Department 43 Editorial Rooms ...1060 THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1934 ONE RUMOR CORRECT The political rumor which has been current for some time that Hon. Claud N. Sapp, of Columbia, would receive a recess appointment as district attorney for the Eastern Federal Judicial District of South Carolina turned out to be correct. The rest of the rumor to the effect that Senator Smith would oppose the confirmation of Mr.

Sapp as one "personally obnoxious" to him will have to wait until the Senate is in session in Washington again. There remains now the persistent rumor that Governor Blackwood is to get a Federal appointment before his term expires. The rumor crop is unusually large this year. PUBLIC DEBT The calculation that every man, woman and child in South Carolina owes approximately one hundred dollars as an individual share of the total debt of the State, its counties, cities and other political subdivisions does not take into account the Federal debt. The figures quoted here yesterday show that this was a sizable amount in 1932 and it is much larger now.

More important right now probably is the cost of government, all divisions. It is encouraging to note some reduction in spots but. even with these reductions comparison of such governmental costs now with such costs fifteen years ago is truly disturbing. LIFE INSURANCE GROWS It is impressive to be told that the American people are now paying life insurance premiums at the rate of ten million dollars daily. And that this is an increase of almost half a million dollars over the daily premium, receipts of a year ago.

It is also of interest that the maJority of big insurance companies are investing in government bonds. These companies evidently are not worried over any collapse of government. They may reason that 11 the government does collapse no investment will be worth anything and that government bonds are therefore the best bet in the investment field. That people are buying more life insurance today than they were a year ago is an important index to general conditions. It certainly is not an.

unfavorable sign. The facts here given are from an Associated Press dispatch sent from New York a few days ago. The gave other interesting information on life insurance. These extracts will be general interest! art More than half the population of the United States carries life insurance. Roughly 68,000,000 to 70,000,000 people have life pollcles out of a population of close to 130.000,000.

There are only about 10,000,000 individual stockholders and 8,000.000 owners of bonds. The total dollar volume of life Insurance underwritten in the first five months of the year a- mounted to $3,687,197,000, a gain of $548,529,000 over last year. In addition to providing good measure of the average. American's pocketbook, life insurance company statistics offer an excellent cross-section of the investment and financial markettle assets of the life companles are enormous. These fortytwo concerns controlled 000,000 (as of April 30) of funds which must be kept in profitable employment.

The opinions men who handle these fundsnaturally have a deep influence on the condition of the markets. Their assets, incidentally, rose $397,000,000 in the twelve months ending April. At the present time sixty -five per cent of the new funds of the life compantes is going into Federal Government obligations. Their aggregate holdings of government -securities crossed the for the first time on April 30 when they totaled $2,022,000,000, compared with $1,465,000,000 the year before. Some State and municipal obligations are included in the total.

Other bonds and stocks held Amounted to $6,868,000,000, compared with $6,275,000,000. Mortgages amounted to $5,457,000,000, against $6,002,000,000 twelve months before. Life company executives say, by the way, that payments on mortgage principal are running well ahead of last year. As a form of investment life insur- ance is far better known today than in the past. The old idea that it was solely a form of protection has given way to the feeling that it is a desirable way to invest funds along with the protective feasure.

ABOUT PARDONS AGAIN Whether the charge by a young lawyer in North Carolina that a "pardon and parole racket" was in existence in that State is true or not, it is a fact that there is too much pardoning and paroling going on in many States. A Governor in South Carolina has the power to upset the verdicts of juries and sentences of judges. That is about the only real power he has. The General Assembly has the power which candidates for Governor take delight in claiming for themselves "If I am elected." Little attention is paid to the stand of a Governor in the matter of pardons and paroles. But this should not be so.

Candidates for Governor should make their position plain. JOB INSURANCE Wisconsin has a job insurance law and it is about to go into effect. It -is a very forward step in the "socialization" process and grave doubts may well be entertained as to its practical working. PECULIAR WHIMSY The Texas man who went wild and killed three people "because they waked him up out of a sound sleep" may have been "crazy" all the time or he may have just had "spell" as the result of an unusual idiosyncracy which causes a man to go wild if awakened. Years ago a certain lad from the Piedmont as college student had this sort of thing in a lesser degree but so much so that his roommate did not dare wake him "before day." They usually went to bed at the same time but if by any chance the roommate was out when the lad with the wild-temperwhen-waked-up went to bed first, his roommate would spend the night with some other boy boys.

Beware of the man who cannot stand to be waked up. He may be dangerous. A CUTTING DOWN The Waldorf- Astoria, ranked as the best known and probably the biggest hotel in many ways in the United States, was one of the first to see aid in the new corporate bankruptcy act. 'The hotel owes a little over five million dollars in current bills or accounts and has less than half a million dollars to pay this batch of bills. In arranging a new schedule to work out of debt the approval of a Federal judge has to be had and one of the requirements is a reduction of salaries.

Oscar, the famous chef, has consented to a reduction in salary. He formerly received thirty thousand dollars but he will now get twenty thousand dollars. That is not so bad. Lots of folks are not getting one-twentieth of that sum and even some are not getting anything at all. And Oscar does not have to pay any board! NO WONDER Rabe: How is Holt: Flat on Rabe: Why I with dizzy Holt: So did NEW YORK Dav by Das a 90 NEW YORK, July 5 Edwin Hill completely upsets a phillipic that any newspaperman who hasn't reached an executive job at 50 destined for the alms house.

HIll, now slightly past 50, is and always has been a reporter, and the half century mark finds him in greatest affluence. Born in Aurora, he became in the customary migratory gradations of his kind one of the bright young men on The Sun of Boss Clarke. And with Richard Harding Davis the best dressed reporters the era. He was with Charlie Sum. merville the first scribe to swing cane on Park Row.

He came back to the newspaper game a few years ago after a Hollywood flyer. The studios were not up his alley and he confessed to Keat Speed he wanted to back in harness and stay the rest of his days. It was then his sensational rise began, the perfect embodiment of a transition period. Radio, lectures, books, theatrical engagements and a newspaper column filled his life as never before. His voice became one of the best known over the air and this large audience has been augmented signing up as a news-reel announcer.

Thus making him, next Damon Runyon, the most highly paid reporter of the day. Most wine, waiters in the smarter New York restaurants, socked out brass chain loops, have been imported from Europe -suave servitors who have the flair of meeting every drinking emergency. They bring bottle of wine as though it had just been sequestered from Napoleon's private cellar. And they twirl botties in the silver ice buckets with devotion that spells technique. The most expert draw higher pay than the head waiter.

Few ever take drink. Jack Denny is most effortless dance orchestra leaders. Yet his pianissimo direction brings out the most perfect dance tempo of his guild. The late Art Hickman was another whose restraint created large dance following. He sat the drums, never waved the baton but to this day you remember his "Whispering." Young Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt seems that rare specimen, a popular young millionaire.

A shy youth, he likes country life and has developed passion for thoroughbred 'horses, being youngest owner of a full fledged stable in America. The jockeys like him because he frequently joins their innocent pastimes, such as seven up and tossing cubes behind the stables. Old track men say he has uncanny instincts for horse flesh. While gossip jugglers have now and then coupled him with Broadway, his interest in the gay life is practically nil. He's an admirer of Rudy Vallee and went to hear him several times in A cabaret.

Trade continues to seep into Park avenue's Gold Coast. As along Fifth in the old days, the commercial cacophony is muted -signless apothecaries, frock-coated travel agencies, floral salons. But such soft pedaling is not for long. Many of the finest residential apartment house ground leases expire within ten years and by that time realtors believe the evolution of Park- -from shanties to spires--will -be complete.

That bitter spinater has turned Marsha Into a hard young woman of the world whose consideration tor her innumerable suitors has been actly nil. But Bob Powers has proved different: she has taken his ring and gone to call on his mother. All the time Geoffrey Tarleton, dissolute but amusing, has been in the back of her mind. Now she has cided to break off with Bob.

Chapter 10 BITTER SCENE RATHER disappointed." Marsha confessed, "but at least that's new!" She studied Bob. The small chair he had selected entirely inadequate for his bigness. Marsha liked him in it; liked the way he rather disconcerted her aunt's snobbish little drawing room. She liked his bronzed skin; his spikey, unmanageable, sun-bleached hair, and his big, strong hands. "Man's man," he had been called, and he was that and more; he.

How many times have we danced away the time in which I longed to -plan?" "I don't know," she answered honestly, "a good many, I suppose, Bob." "Well, anyway-" he faltered, "I began to know how it was." "Do you hate me?" she asked. It he said he hated her it would be easier. But he did not say he hated her. He shook his head. "I couldn't hate you," he whis pered, "I bare loved you too well." She saw his lips twitch.

"One thing," he said slowly and after a little pause, "I am going to ask you to do for me." She waited. "DON'T let don't another care. man It kiss isn't- you, quite fair, Marsha. You see, It I had not learned what kissing you means to me, it would be a little easter now. As it 1a-I'm a serious thirty.

He tried to smile at her then; she couldn't answer his smile. She had not dreamed he could tremble so. "How did you know?" she asked. "Has your cousin Letitia been whispering sweet nothings of mo?" His eyes narrowed. "Do you think." he questioned in turn and with a sterness she had never known from him, "that I would listen to anyone who would say thing that was less than good-of you? "I don't suppose you would," she sefeed weakly and with shame.

She saw him tumble for his cigarets. He lit one with fingers that were unsteady. She had not dreamed that he, so balanced, could tremble as he trembled now. "You haven't swered me," she reminded, "and want to know how you understood." "It's not easy to explain," he responded, "and especially for a raw sort who doesn't talk easily. But you made it too clear at luncheon today.

Or rather, after luncheon you remember we were baited by signal and you saw a child you said was sweet and you looked at berrather hungrily. And it made me quite lose my head, you ver "Yes." iT wasn't sensuous, Marsha, although, God knows, I am alive with you. There will never be anyone else who can matter in all ways as you do."

AIR TRAVEL TO CHICAGO Airplane travel to A Century of Progress exposition, creating substantial expenditure all over the United States, increased more than 30 per cent in 1933 and will increase still further in' 1934, Chicagoans, says. Inasmuch as practically all air transportation tickets are round-trip tickets and purchased at the point of origin of the travel, the expenditure is made almost entirely outside of Chicago.

Last year 133,207 air passengers were discharged at the municipal, airport in Chicago. This year it is estimated that the number will exceed 160,000. More than 25 per cent of the total have come and will come solely to visit the World's fair. STATISTICS "What are the chances of any recovery, Doctor?"
