Gutfey of the Record leading editorial Chicago Tribune of March 7, entitled “Floods.” In asking unanimous consent, Senator Guffey described the editorial as being “of such a remarkable character that it should have wider circulation than that afforded by the subscribers of the 'l and added: “This newspaper has specialized in assailing every relief mea: offered by the Roosevelt administra- Pennsylvania inser of March 19 the in ongressional in the bune ire tion. Apparently, its editor feels that people out of work should be allowed to starve, which is quite in keeping with the suggestion t when’ the rivers rise and their lives and propertie re imperiled noth- ing should be done for them—on the theory that they chose their own farms because the land is fertile and therefore should accept ruin or death as one of the normal perils of their business. This newspaper pretends to represent and fend the property interests of this country and particularly concerned with that group of property owners which constitute the duPont Liberty League. In this course of the political controversies incident to the approach of ers of the administration have with many faults of conduct and logic have gone to the length of accusing them of such inhumanity as is implied by this statement of their journalistic spokesman, that the proper way of hand- lng the destitute and the unfortunate generally to leave them die rather than that they should re- ceive aid from their government.” The editorial from the orthodox Republican Tri- bune reads as follows “The expected floods have followed the first thaws and, as usual, the sob sisters have been crying that something must be done to relieve the innocent vic- tims of nature’s savagery. There will be more floods this spring, accompanied by more appeals for charity. “The sob sisters neglect to say that the so-called innocent victims are, for the most part, prosperous de- is a national election, the support- this group but we never charged is farmers owning the fattest land in the United States.

Congress doubtless will vote emergency lund<‘ for the relief of sufferers, the control of epidemic | sands are left homel disease and the repair of damage, but as the New York World Telegram says, we would be stupid indeed if we let it go at that—if, like the Chinese, we s\nxornd‘ floods like these to rise ,and recede without doing| something about them. Continuing, the World Telegram comments: The deforestation of hillsides and the poor husbanding of soil, as experts now agree, are the major factors contributing to these period- al disasters. Sheet and gully erosion already stroyed 100 million acres of former farmlands. When the thaws and heavy rains of spring come they find no surface growth to hold them back; the eroded soil has filled reservoirs and river bottoms; the floods spread at will over cities and towns, Recently Dr. Frank B. Howe, of Cornell, made a report of his experiments on the ef- fects of floods in New York State. He found that 650,000 lons of rain fell on one acre in 1631. On an acre planted to corn 134,000 gal- Iens ran off at once; on an acre planted to a good meadow crop, only 7,000 gallons ran off. From the corn land 20 per cent of the water ran away; on the meadow only 1 per cent Clearly, he reported, an important tlood control measure is the covering wherever pos- sible of bare and nearly bare land. Herein lies the significance of the adminis- tration's new AAA policy, its reforestation and soil erosion programs, its passion for soil con- have de- servation. These Eastern floods are twins to the dust storms of the West. They should help make the East more sympathetic toward the belated steps now being taken in Washington look- ing to reforestation and better land-use plan- ning.

Wendel, Trenton N. J., lawyer, as well as another “confession” by Gaston B. Means, the Bruno Rich- ard Hauptmann case was thrown into confusion almost on the eve of his scheduled execution. Above #8 a dramatic view of Wendel, held on a warrant charging him with the kidnaping, being questioned by Attorney General Javid T. Wilentz and Prosecutor Anthony Hauck in the jail at Trenton at 3 a. m. Wilentz is not visible, but Hauck is pulling down the window shade. Wendel's arm is half raised to hide his face.
