PUBLIC ENEMIES N OUR MIDST Last week The Empire px'mlod a little story tell- ing how some “sportsman” had ruined an elaborate direction sign at the end of the Basin Road by fir-| ing half a dozen shotgun loads into it at short range.

Why this might have to be done can be under: stood if one stops to consider the terrific dislocation of normal activities which would be caused in Cleve- land if only one bomb were exploded on such a strect as Euclid or Superior Avenue. Under the pavement on all the downtown streets is a maze of utility lines —water, gas, electricity, telephone, steam and seweis. These are so important to the life of the modern city that when a subway is built the cost of relocat- ing these lines is greater than the cost of excavation. London streets are the same. And not one, but thousands of bombs have been tearing up the pave- ments of that city. The close proximity of water and sewer lines alone is enough to suggest the big- room to question whether we can afford a $25 sign‘ at .the .end of a, little-used spur road. But there| can be no argument that the willful destruction of such a sign is inexcusably malicious mischief. | Defacement of building, trees and other features of our public campgrounds and recreational areas in the Juneau vicinity is altogether too prevalent. Some of this defacement is thoughtless; all of it is to be regretted. Almost all the elaborate markers >d on our highwa trails and scenic and his- pots a few years ago have been ruined by «juous shooting.

A parole board, on the other hand, doesn’t have to be awed, it in the first place was a weighty argument in favor of a civilian draft chief. FARMER M'NARY Republican Vice Presidential nom- inee Charlie McNary was born on 1 farm in Oregon and still is a country boy at heart. So getting him o make a speech in a big city is ike yanking molars. In fact, 1t took the combined cajolings of Wen- lell Willkie and Republican Nation- \l Chairman Joseph Martin to in- fuce McNary to appear at ‘the JOP labor rally in Pittsburgh. McNary made a big hit. But ince then it has been touch-and- 0 every time Martin has approach- 'd him about talking to another metropolitan audience. The boyish- ‘aced, 65-year-old Oregon Senator ‘inally brought the situation to a showdown the other day. “Listen, Joe,” he said flatly, “sup- 0se you just let me talk to farmers. Tvery time I show up for a speech n a big town the Chamber of Com- nerce and business men take over neeting. They want to be helpful, T know, but I feel like a stuffed shirt talking about the farm question n a setting like that. “I'll make more votes for the ticket f I confine my campaigning to small ‘ommunities and arigcultural cen- ers, where I can do some down-to- 'arth talking with farmers.

The Fish mansion is at 55 East T7th Street, New York, and accord- ing to State Department records, is the home of Johannes Borchers, Ccnsul General of Germany, who has lived there five years. The house was left to Ham Figh by his father, whose will was pro® bated in 1893. New York City rec- ords show no chanee in ownershin since that time. Pish is reported to have begun renting the house to Germans about 1931, shortly before Hitler.
