National Editorial Association Indiana League of Home Dailies National Advertising Representatives, Scheerer, Chicago and New York THE GAY THIRTIES FLOYD SITUATION When the New Deal adopted days are here as a theme song, some people down at Floyd county must have believed it. At any rate, the Floyd county treasury is about $100,000 short, a deputy county treasurer, Robert A. Leist, sent a bullet through his brain and quite a number of politicians in Floyd county and elsewhere are pretty badly worried. In fact, their theme song down there might well be Be a Hot Time in the Old Town An unsavory mess has been brewing down in Floyd county for some time.

The suicide of Leist blew the lid off. Now everyone is talking and no one knows just what is going to happen next. Mrs. Leist, widow of the man who shot himself, says that her husband did not get all of the $100,000 that is missing. Some folks say that his contributions to politics were considerable.

Politicians, however, deny that they saw any of the money. One interesting fact is that the examiners for the state board of accounts had filed no report on the Floyd county office since 1934. The excuse was that Leist had a discrepancy in the record and that the report for 1936 had been delayed until he cleared up the situation. Indiana people, of course, thought that the job of the state board of accounts was to file reports where discrepancies existed as well as where they did not. The people were mistaken apparently.

It seems that where a man makes a of some sort, no report is filed. Judge John M. Paris, $ho has served on the bench of Floyd county during the last twenty years and who is a Democratic candidate for re- 1 election, says that the grand jury will investigate the situation but that it can not make its investigation or begin it before October 3 which certainly should be a relief to some people. Of course, it will take quite a while to make the investigation and then the grand jury can debate a while. Maybe no indictments would be re- turned until after election, which would be very nice.

Newspapers say that the Floyd County tax rate is going to go up about 40 or 60 cents to make up that shortage. The bond on the office is only $15,000. It was cut from $100,000 because the county commissioners wanted to reduce expenses. One of the county commissioners who reduced the bond, Carl E. Bornwasser, is now a Democratic candidate for sheriff.

John A. Cody, the county attorney, is a member of the law firm of Stotsenburg, Weathers, Minton and Phillips. Senator Sherman Minton is a member of the same law firm. Roger H. Phillips, the junior member of the firm, is Floyd nominee for state senator.

Some folks say that Leist lost the money gambling. It is said that carting slot machines out of New Albany since the explosion, by the car loads. But the Greyhound, which is located in adjoining Clark county is still said to be running. HE GET IT THAT WAY New Deal propaganda agents are referring to Homer E. Capehart as the of the Republican party.

They say that he made his money under the New Deal. They seem to think that it is very, very wrong for a man to assist the Republican party financially. Well, here are some of the ways that Mr. Capehart did not get his money: 1. He did NOT make his money through a legalized beer racket.

2. He did NOT make his money by organizing a furniture company to sell furniture to the state. 3. He did NOT make his money by embezzling $100,000 of anybody's money not even from the treasury of Floyd county. The Little New Deal in the state house lives in AfZOUND HIS INTBfZFEPE-NCP 1938 Thr A.

It is because you are afraid of you do not care to face him. But now I will tell you something, Monsieur Martinez Venner.

I clambered down from the table, made a hurried recon- naisance along the empty corridor, and sprinted down it to the safety of my own room, just as an opening door and th whir of the mounting lift told me that the Baron was taking his departure.

I watched him strut to his car, a fat, ludicrous, yellow balloon, and drive away; then slowly and thoughtfully I made my way out of the house and up the lane to where Hugo was waiting for me. young said he, when I had told my story, just now a little less glad than at other times.

Besides, in the last twelve hours learned the devil of a Venner hangs out, his relations with the rest of the who knows what another day will produce? I tell you I added magnanimously, sleep another night there and rejoin you Feeling Of Revulsion We drove on to the Carlton in a more peaceful frame of mind, but the sight that met our eyes as we strolled leisurely up the ramp, did nothing to add to our gaiety. There was Ottilie Wills, slim, gay and graceful, sitting at a small corner table. And the man who sat opposite her, his expressionless, pebble-like eyes fixed intently on her face, was Rene Geiss himself.

I have never experienced a stronger feeling of revulsion than at the sight of these two together; but the effect on Hugo was even more remarkable. He swore aloud, while I saw the dusky color rising to his temples. Then, without a word, he began to push his way through the tables. In two strides he was beside them. Wills, he said stiffly, I have a word with in She looked up quickly.

Miss Wills, you will not sit to Rene Geiss for your will you hold any more conversations with him in the why he retorted, Geiss, as you have already been told, is not safe or fit company for any girl, and Heaven knows we have enough to occupy our minds at the moment without trotting at the heels of rash and imprudent young women.

You say I scraped acquaintance with Mr. Geiss. not true. Baron Stahl introduced us, not half an hour back, and not my fault if he wants to do a picture of me. You know very well doing it for a purpose.

Then suddenly she swung round on Hugo, black eyes blazing. she cried.

Well, then, he the one man who will surely know what plans have been Hugo had got a grip on himself by now, though a quiver of the nostril told of fury held in check. he said. have always believed that no woman was capable of reasoned argument, and now I know it; but before we leave you, there are one or two observations that I should like to make. First, this is no quarrel of ours.

The sudden death of an unknown American, as far as my friend and I are concerned, would certainly be no reason for us to endanger our own lives and liberty. Yet in spite of that we are doing what we can to help you protect your uncle. Only this morning a murderous attempt was made on my life, while bathing. Only Suppose you are honest. you ought to be?

One of the most fascinating characters ever brought to the screen, King Louis gives Morley a definitely star- making part in the picture. Wade Crosby appears on the screen for the first time as Danton, fiery Revolutionary leader. Crosby was a theatrical sign painter when Max Reinhardt saw him two years ago and selected him to star in a picture depicting the life of Danton.

The picture was never made and Crosby gets his big opportunity in Alma Kruger, New York stage character actress, was chosen to play Maria Theresa, mother, because in costumes she resembles a favorite painting of the Austrian Queen. Walter Walker will be seen as Benjamin rankling the result of a make-up inspired by the engraving of Franklin on $100 bills. John Burton won the part of Lafayette due to an uncanny likeness to the popular Frenchman. With the story of covering a period of twenty years, every noted figure of the fabulous era preceding and during the French Revolution is revived for motion picture audiences.

He was a pleasant-faced, energetic young fellow. He wantd a job on a newspaper. He called on a city editor. There was 13 vacancy. That young man haunted the newspaper office.

He figured that his vacancy would coni sometime and he wanted to be there when it did come.
