The Political PotBegins To Boil

Now that the state cam-paign is getting under wayit is cheerful to rememberthat little attention needbe paid to some of the fill-in orators. When they tella joke, they start thelaugh. All that the audi-ence has to do is to followsuit.

Clee's stuffed shirt ad-visors are dooming what-ever chance the pastor-senator has of becominggovernor. It's the old gameof political Untouchablesguiding a risin gopponentto the dropping off place.

The Jersey hill-billiesare waiting for "AiryMoore's tri-ennial appear-ance. They wonder if he'llbring his wooden Bible,his blind man, crippledboy and pensive dog. However, they'd rather seeUncle Tom's Cabin, ifthere's no admissioncharge.

X X X XWorld's MostExpensive Official

Why should Jerseyites•denounce Stalin, Mussoliniand Hitler because theyare dictators?

Or dread the possibilityof President Roosevelt be-coming a dictator?

Then entire state is inthe grip of Frank Hague,who as a dictator, is anoutstanding figure.

No other Americanwields the power Haguedoes in New Jersey.

He controls the courts,many juries, the AP pressservice, most of the dailynewspapers, practicallyall the state institutions.

If you want to knowhow really powerful Ha-gue is you should read thepamphlet, "World's MostExpensive Official!"

This is something likeA. Harry Moore's case.

German's pride of the airways, the gigantic dirigible VonHindenburg, making its first trans-Atlantic voyage of theseason to the United States, plummeted to earth here at

7 :25 o'clock last night in a mass of flames. The unofficialdeath toll shortly after 3 o'clock this morning was placedat 35. The behemoth of the skies carried 39 passengers

and a crew of 60 officers and mens.Commander C. Rosenthal, head

of the United States Naval airbase here, made the followingstatement shortly before midnight:'Hydrogen fire, originating at ornear the stern of. the Hindenbuvg,resulted in the total loss of theiant dirigible. Fire began aft and

A difficult hospital check-uprevealed that about 26 passengersand 40 officers a,nd men survivedthe tragedy which is the ninth ma-jor air disaster.

The Hindenburg was due to ar-rive at Lakehurst at 6 o'clock yes-terday morning but adverse weather conditions delayed the ship'sAtlantic crossing 12 hours and itslanding here two hours.

The leviathan of the air reach-ed the New Jersey air base short-ly after 6 o'clock last night but•trong winds and a heavy down-

pour of rain prevented the ship'smooring. It turned away from theNaval station and headed north inan effort to outride the storm.

There was a sudden, blind-ing flash then a deafening roar.The terrific explosion tore thehuge gas bag to shreds. The entirecountryside was shaken.

In a few seconds the sky be-came blood reel from the blazing)airliner which was careening toearth. The twisting mass of flames,with passengers and members ofthe crew leaping from the torngondolas, crashed.

The ground crew and hundredsof spectators, as well as newspaperphotographers and reporters, rac-ed wildly off the landing field.Men shouted warnings. Womenscreamed. The entire air base wasa bedlam of hysteria.

HEADLINE HUNTER

Let's Stop ItNo one will construe the failure of 36 states to adopt

the Child Labor amendment after 13 years as an endorse-ment of child labor itself. There is only one possible ans-wer. It is that as much as the American people deplorechild labor, they hate even more the loss of state sover-eignty and the encroachment of Federal dictation which liein the amendment. Many feel that the age limit of 18 yearsis too high.

In other words, the objection is to the method, not tothe end, itself. The states have spoken and they have saidthat this amendment is not the way to abolish child labor.

Fortunately, a better and more direct way of takingchildren out of gainful employment is available. The Clark-Connery bill and the similar Wheeler bill are the mostpractical solutions yet proposed to meet the problem. Theirbills would exclude from interstate commerce all merchan-dise where child labor has been outlawed. Its principle,which was recently upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court inthe Convict Labor case, places control of child laborsquarely up to the states where it belongs but promises thehelp of the Federal government in making the state stat-ute effective.

The nation's manufacturers are not only solidly be-hind this proposal, but have urged that it go even furtherand control child labor in the state of origin by refusingto permit shipment of child labor merchandise out of astate where it was made.

Here is a chance for the country to show its real feel-ings on child labor. Let every American citizen write to hisCongressman urging the speedy enactment of the Clark-Connery bill. Child labor in manufacturing has dwindledto below 60,000 out of 11,000,000 employees. In othorfields the total is above 500,000. Congress has the remedyif it will act.

Some people in Middlesex County know just enough,not to know enough.

Clean-Up WeekNext week has been designated by the Board of

Health as "Clean-Up Week" and from the looks of someof our Township streets and back yards, the designationis a timely one.

No matter what its size, a tow.n or city is alwaysjudged by its appearance. A town that is clean and tidydraws the best type of citizen who in turn attracts thebetter type of industries. It is well to remember that.

The depression will be overraising preachers' salaries.

Observing Mother's DayAlong with other memorable dates in each year

comes Mother's Day to capture the attention of men andwomen of Woodbridge Township and to remind them ofthe debt they owe to their own mothers. To living mothersthe day brings, perhaps, some joy and gladness over tang-ible evidence of children's love and to the memory of thosewho have passed on is added the respect and admiration ofmaturer appreciation on the part of their children.

It is eminently right and proper that men and wo-men, boys and girls, should take part in the observance ofthis day set apart to Mothers, living and dead. It is a noblesentiment to inculate in the hearts of human beings someof whom, somehow, seem to have missed the acquisition ofabiding affection based upon complete understanding.

Mother's Day, however, affords men and women anopportunity to develop a broader love of particular moth-el's when it invites them to attach their reverence to moth-erhood in general and transfer their solicitude to the wel-fare of all mothers. If it can accomplish this completely,the role of all mothers will be made easier and the joy ofall mothers increased.

Let us honor mothers of all ages but let us also beconcerned with the health and welfare of the mothers thatare to be. The experience which nature reserves for wo-men brings with it dangers that can be avoided but, alas,too often, even in this era of civilization, are the cause ofsuffering and death. The preservation of a mother's lifeto give her child the love and care it can secure from nam.other is worth our enterprise and, if our expression" oilove for mother means anything, it will save some of thewomen now doomed to become the victims of childbirth.

The saving of a mother's life is an important event tothe. child, as well as to the mother herself. Society has adeep interest in child welfare because many problems thatinvolve young children, and even older boys and girls, arecaused by the lossof their mother's care and loving gird-ance. Two-thirds of the fatalities connected with the com-ing of children are preventable and should be prevented.

There is more behind Mother's Day than a sentiment-al affection for one's mother. The facts may not be pleas-ant and we may wish sometimes, to let them rest, but soon-er or later they will intrude upon the consciousness ofmen and Mother's Day will take on a fuller meaning withhealth, life and happiness guaranteed to all women whoventure near the valley of the shadow in order for a litt'e

child to be born.• * • •

Although motorists will not be able to seek relieffrom shore traffic jams this summer, it will at least besatisfying to know that something is being done to remedythe situation.

"Skirmish Line1'

TODAY'S Distinguished Adventurer, boys and girls, isCharles Levine of New York city, an old soldier, and a

veteran of the Philippine campaign. Charley has an armycitation for gallantry in action—and here's how he won it.

It was the night of January 22, 1913, and word had come to the armybarracks at Jolo that a Moro stronghold had been located eighteenmiles in the interior. Charley Levine's outfit—Troop H, Eighth Cavalry—augmented by two companies of Philippine scouts and one company ofnative constabulary, started out after the insurrectionists. With themwent a "jackass battery" consisting of one three-inch mountain gunhitched to four balky mules, and Charley was one of twelve menassigned to that battery.

All night long they forced their way through taatted jungle.At daybreak they were in sight of the Moro retreat—a rectangulartrench, surrounded by a wall of bamboo palings, covered overwith a thick matting of cogan grass, and stocked with enough foodand supplies and ammunition to withstand a long siege.

The Skirmishers Went Too Far.There was no time for rest. The Moros espied the cavalrymen

and discharged a blast of rifle fire. The Americans set up their moun-tain gun on a knoll five hundred feet away and let loose a rain of shell-fire as the rest of the men deployed in a long skirmish line and ad-vanced on the fort.

The skirmishers moved on—the mountain gun thooting over theirheads. Then, suddenly, the lieutenant in charge of the gun shouted,"Hold it, boys. THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR." The skirmishers, almostto the fort now, had advanced into the range of fire of their ownartillery..

The bombardment ceased. "Somebody will have to go down thereand tell them to fall back," the lieutenant snapped. A man was sent downwith the message. "We watched him plunge into the jungle growthand strike off toward the line," says Charley. "Suddenly a lithe brownfigure streaked out of the underbrush. A bolo flashed and the messengercrashed into the sea of grass—DECAPITATED. It was over in amoment.

"We gritted our teeth with helpless rage. Another man wentforward—to his death. The Jungle down there was full of Moros.Still another man went down—and again that macabre perform-ance was repeated."

$ Charley Took the Suicidal Job.It was sheer murder to send a man down into that Moro infested no-

man's land—sheer suicide to volunteer. But in the meantime theskirmishers on the line were firing blindly at the bamboo walls, exposedto the fusillades of the Moros, while they waited for the mountain gunto open a breach. .Something had to be done. Charley and a buddy,Claude Underwood, volunteered to try it together.

"It wasn't much more than three hundred feet to the line," saysCharley, but it looked like miles. The tall grass rippled sleepily in theearly morning breeze. Ahead of us lay the Moro fort swathed in swirlsof gun smoke which rose sinuously in the damp air. Rifles roared andblasted.

"We darted and ducked through the cogan. The crepitation of thegrass under our feet—the drowsy rustling of the tall shoots—made usgrip our Titles hard and pivot from one side to the other In the direc-tion of the sound. Every movement of the undergrowth looked like aMoro—bolo In hand, waiting to pad out silently behind us and cut off ourheads, as the^Oad cut off the heads of the others."

But evidently no one Moro wanted to tackle two men. They gotthrough to the line. The line fell back and once more the gun on theknoll boomed out and sent its shells screaming into the fort. Greatgaps yawned in the walls. The fire from the Moros became feeblerand feebler.

Surrounded by the Moros.Charley and Claude stayed on the line until the order to charge

was sounded. Then they leaped forward with the rest. They stumbledover a muddy creek bottom and swarmed through a gap in the wall.The fort was deserted. The Moros had slipped away—those that re-mained alive—leaving behind their dead, their supplies and their ammu-nition. The men started back to the knoll. Mopping their sweaty faces,Charley and Claude turned to follow when—

Out of the jungte came eight Moros, spread fanwise, theirbolos poised for their work of decapitation. "We gripped ourrifles," says Charley, "and reheated slowly, exchanging glare forglare with the insiir rectos. A scatter of rifle fire sounded behindus. Cut off! SURROUNDED! 'The creek bottom,' I roared to

\- Underwood. 'Let's run for it!' We ran for that slimy asylum,\ reaching the creek bed as another burst of gunfire crashed over

our heads."They hugged the floor of the creek, breathing hard. It was their

last stand. They peered through the grass, but there was no one insight. Where were those Moros? Why didn't those birds with the boloscome and finish their deadly work. And where were their own pal«?Didn't they see the predicament Claude and Charley were in?

Comrades to the Rescue.The suspense was maddening They decided to make a break for

it—try to shoot their way out. The Moros weren't much good as marks-men. They might make it. Another crash of rifle fire, and Charleystarted to get up. An anxious voice yelled: "Get down, Charlie. ' Staydown. Claude." And Charley says that for the next ten seconds youcouldn't have slipped a cigarette paper between him and the ground.

Another volley or two and it was all over. The rifle fire had comefrom the Americans, who had seen those eight bolo-swinging Moros andwere trying to drive them off by shooting over Claude's and Charley'sheads. Ducking into the creek had saved both their lives, because itgave their buddies a chance to shoot over them and drive off the enemy.

Twenty years later, almost to a day, Chnriey Levine received thearmy's silver star citation—'-[or gallantry in action against hostile Morosat Jolo. Philippine Islands. January 22. 1913."

TRENTON.—Pertinent facts ofUnemployment Compensation In-surance and its co-ordinated phas-es were carried into New Jerseyfactories, shops and business hous-es this week by forty auditors,who on Monday completed aweek's training in the Unemploy-ment Compensation Commission"school".

VTTASHINGTON.—Four y t a r •" after taking office, PresidentRoosevelt has finally insistedthat his attorney general bringan anti-trust suit against th«5174,000,000 Aluminum Com-pany of America In an attempt todissolve i t The corporation com-plains bitterly that It Is already"the most Investigated companyin America."

For years, while Andrew Mel-lon was secretary of the treasury,the Aluminum Company re-ceived consent Irom the Depart-ment of Justice for various busi-ness practices. When HarlanFiske Stone was attorney gen-eral, he decided the AluminumCompany should be prosecuted.At that point, President Coolidgeappointed him to the SupremeCourt bench.

Senator Thomas J. Walsh ofMontana, named attorney gen-eral by Roosevelt, promised hewould bring suit against thealuminum trust, but died beforehe could keep that promise. Theanti-trust laws lay dormantthrough the NRA period.

• • •DEASONS assigned by most

observers here for the pres-ent action are:

1. The government Is anx-ious to test the anti-trust lawsin the Supreme Court. It Isdebatable " whether previousSupreme Court decisions haveso devitalized those laws asto make them ineffective.

2. Roosevelt Is admittedlyconcerned abo^t price Infl*- ;

Idly rising profits and prices,there is a portent of anothercrash. It is said that even afterAluminum C o m p a n y profitsincreased from $9,571,000 to1935 to $20,866,000 in 1936, thecorporation raised its prices afew weeks ago, although It hadbeen assumed profits would in-crease beyond the 1936 figure.

3. Robert E. Jackson, whoprosecuted the Mellon tax case,Is assistant attorney general incharge of the Justice Depart-ment's anti-trust law division.He has a lively interest In thelong-neglected p u r p o s e forwhich that division was or-ganized.Cummings and Jackson take

the position that the AluminumCompany is a perfect and com-plete monopoly, and that there isa law on the federal statuteswhich says Its practices are il-legal.

The government charges thatthe corporation is the sole pro-ducer of pig aluminum in theUnited States, and that its recentprice increases for virgin Ingotwas "an act of oppressive andunreasonable price fixing."

described in the government'spetition as having started withcapital stock of $20,000 in paid-in cash and $400,000 in stock ex-changed for patents. At the endof 1934 the company is said tohave made profits of $155,241,000over and above dividends ofabout $105,000,000.

RUMBLINGSon the Alleys

by "Juicy" Fauble

Its all over at the Craftsmen'salleys folks. The Civic leaguewound up its hectic action thisweek with the third place Giantstaking the extra money in thefirst division roll-off and the low-ly Old Timers putting the skidsunder the other three second di-vision teams to cop the extra o-day.

• • •In the elimination none of the

teams wasted any time in theirmatches. The Old Timers, Giantsand the Claire Burkes tavern ladswon their matches in the first twogames, while the Avenel's and theOlsen boys were the only teamswho had to battle it out in threegames. The Olsen's nicked thefirst game by about 50 pins, butdropped the second game, whenBill Perna's lads opened up tosmack a neat 1024 game. In the deciding game the teams were prettywell evened up until the last fewframes when the lads from Avenelbroke under the strain and foldedup to lose by 30 sticks.

The big upset was Monday nitein the elimination match, when theIce House gang bowled like acouple of beginners instead ofchamps and had their ears pinnedback by the Giants in thtsigraowback by the Giants in two straightgames. You should have seen thegrin on "Muni's" face, (who bythe way was not on the bench asusual). Jules Bernstein's face waspretty red, I hear.

In the second division elimina-tion, the Old Timers and the ClaireBurke's lads, who according tostatistics had about as muchchance winning as a snow ball ina hot stove, came through withflying colors, and took the firsttwo games to qualify for the finalmatch Wednesday night whichwas won by the Old Timers.

In the Final match the Giants,with "Slippers" Nagy, Steve Karaand Jacobs doing some fine floorwork, took the Olsen five, (whoby the way let me down) for two

So that all those who won theirmatches in the roll-off can cele-brate their victory and those wholost can drown their sorrows, therewill be a "blowout"' at the Crafts-men's alleys next Wednesday nite.And, listen guys, its 'on the house.'Dick says, "no more than 20 beersto a customer." Incidentally therewill be a $5.00 prize offered lorthe one hitting the high score ior

| the night. Be seein' ya.

The final standing of the Civicleague for the prize money was:Jule's Ice House, first, Avenel A.A., second; Giants, third; and theOlsen five, fourth. The high threegame prize went to the Ice Houselads with a 3057 score. The highthree game Ind. went to NateBernstein of the Ice House team,the high single team game also!went to the Ice House lads. Theonly prize that did'nt go to the"Eskimos" was the Ind. high sing-le game, which C. Siessel Jr. tookwith a 279.

Got in a "pot" game with theboys after the prizes were paid,figuring I could make a little beermoney, but "Sparky" untangledthose wires and struck out to winby a loner, the mug.

At the Hungarian alleys theKopi's All Star five took the hon-ors and the first place money inthe Peanut leagu, while the Fib'sFakirs (Fakirs is right) came infor second money. The all starsare practically due to take mostof the prize dough in Ind. and teamgames.

• • •Tonight the Fakirs and the All

Stars will wind up the roll-off atthe H. C. C. alleys, and if thatKakonza guy and Malis feller willstop practicing "screw-ball' shotswe might win. There will be aquarter on tap to keep the boys inthe mood.

To Our Customers:

We are supplying gas to yourhome. You, in your home, areentitled to the convenience andcomfort of using gas at a faircost.

A new schedule of rates, ef-fective June 1, 1937, which isbeing filed with the Board ofPublic Utility Commissionersof New Jersey, will now makethis possible.

The present cost of gas is$1.30 per thousand cubic feetof gas, regardless of the amountof gas used. This preventsmany of you from taking ad-

vantage of the use of gas forother than cooking.

In respect to convenienceand economy, gas has no su-perior for cooking, water heat-ing and refrigeration. Underthis proposed more modernrate, the average family maynot only cook with gas, but canheat water with gas, refriger-ate with gas, and the cost ofoperating all of these necessi-ties can be as low as six dol-lars a month. This not onlymeans greater convenience,but compares most favorablywith the cost of other fuels usedfor these purposes.
