(Philadelphia Record)
Those chaps with the lilies in
their lapels are the GOP (P foT
purity) crusaders of the Republi
can National Committee, horri
fied because some 33 postmasters
have contributed to the Demo
cratic party. (The Hatch act per
mits this.)
If you notice a funny smell
about those lilies, it’s because the
perfume doesn’t quite cover up
the fact that the Republican par
ty. when last in power not only
aocepted contributions from post
masters but blackjacked them
Tight out in meetin.’
Lest we forget we take you
back to Springfield, Mo. where
on May 16, 1932 Mr. W. Irving
Glovsr, Assistant Postmaster
General, was addressing the Mis
souri Postmaster's Association.
Glover shouted: “Get out on the
firing line in support of Hoover
or quit.
“I’ll be back in Washington
Monday and be glad to take the
resignations of any of you post
masters who don’t want to do
it,”
This wasn’t an idle outburst in
an unguarded moment. No less a
stalwart than Postmaster Gener
al Walter L. Brown told the same
thing to the National Associa
tion of Postmasters. To quote the
New York Times headline:
“Postmasters Told to Enter Pol!
itics: Brown Informs Convention
First Three Classes Are Not Bar
red by Law; Calls for Aid in1
Campaign.”
This, incidentally, is the same!
Walter L. Brown who in the dark
days of 1932 bought a second
Lincoln limousin; at Govern
ment expense because the first j
one purchased for him did not
•have sufficient room for his high
silk hat.
It is the same Walter L. Brown
whose records as Postmaster Gsn
eral were burned before he left
office in 1933, so the public could
not know what was in them.
So, folks, if the lilies smell
lik something else—you’ll un-,
derstand.
Trial without jury has been or
•dered by the Soviet Government
Yor all workers who quit their
jobs or are absent without per
mission. Ah, the land of the Com
munistic millenium!

DEFENSE OF CANAL
ZONE NEW PHASE
BALBOA, Canal Zone, Oct. 21
—United States military author
ities reveal that they are conduct
ing experiments in the u£e of
European air raid tactics as a
means of improving the defenses
of the Panama Canal.
In disclosing that European air
activities are being stimulated
j regularly in the skies over the
canal and adjac-nt territory,
Brig. General Standerford Jar
men commanding General of the
Panama coast artillery brigade
said that a new type of night
raid is being tested and that
troops are being trained in the
methods of coordinating team
work between the defending air
craft and ground defenses.
Basically the new tactics fea
ture the distant circle use of
anti-aircraft searchlight batter
ies to illuminate attacking bomb
ers so that protecting pursuit
planes can engage in battle be
fore nearing a decisive zone.
When bombers are able to get
through these outer rings of
light without b3ing intercepted
by pursuit aviation they are then
j engaged by anti-aircraft gun de
! fenses.
i
New Airplane
Mail Act Is
Explained
Recent legislation authorizing
j the Postoffice Department to car
ry all classes of mail by plane
i in Alaska merely se^ the seal
of official approval on a practice
which has been in effect in the
Territory for some time.
The system, the legality of
which is clearly established by
the new bill introduced by Dele
gate Dimond calls for all mail
whether it carries airmail post
age or not to ba carried by plane
| to points not served by regular
authorized airmail routes,
i For instance, a letter for Sitka
j is carried by plane even though
| it bears only a three-cent stamp.
A letter for Fairbanks on the
other hand must carry a six-cent
airmail stamp, as thgre is a reg
ular Nome-Fairbanks airmail
route.
The system has particular val
uc to the people of Nome who
will receive all mail at regular
rates by air during the winter.
