(From Manufacturers Record)
Oklahoma City recently tested
"unemployment" by demanding that
an hour or two of labor 'be given
in return for meals. Such u ]>olicy
brought forth a welcome hcgim,
states the Daily Oklahoman, for it
required but a few* days to solve
the unemployment problem in so far
as professional idlers were concerned.
As soon as loafers 'learned thai they
had to work for their food and were
faced with the choice of working or
starving they left for other places.
As the Galveston News asserts, in
citing Governor Sterling's experience
With the spokesman for a delegation
purporting to represent farmers and
unemployed: "In more than one instance
unemployment agitators have
shown marked distaste for work
when offered an opportunity to earn
a living by working. And beyond
question the country is infested with
bums who are oj]|y too content to
live on public generosity."
Undoubtedly the panhandler has
made the most V)f opportunity to appeal
to the public sentiment. lTneinployment
has -been great enough
without adding t<> the number. <JThc
Tulsa World comments that men,
asking individuals ??u the street for
the mi ans to -ecure food, when led
to ea ing plaie.- promptly disappear
?mo:1.. was wnat they wanted. It
is n< unusual, when no money itendi
: .. !<>i m < ]> : Vint- of thistripe
to pas.- on muttering curse-1
and threats.
Professional Ix'ggnr- and idlers. a<cording
to poltce departments of
large cities, form a cnifruderable proIKirtion
of those at the soup kitchens
and hake shops, socking food intended
for the worthy. There are nor.mally
1,500,1)00 people in this country
unemployed in good times. Most
of them would not work if they had
work. So it is desirable, in any analysis
made of actual distress and
in all measures taken to bring about
relief, to separate the parasite from
the industrious man who should be
given work whenever it is possible.

Treasury Opened
For Veterans Loans
Washington, Feb. 27.?.Congress today
opened the treasury to increa-e
loans to World war veterans over
the objection of President Hoover.
The veterans' loan relief bill l>ecame
law when the Senate voted i?'?
to 17 to disregard the presidential
veto after acrimonious debate which
brought demonstrations from the
crowded galleries. Hy a similar decisive
margin the House yesterday
overrode the "no" of Mp. Hoover.
The legislation allows the voter
ans to borrow up t.n half the face*
value of their compensation certi- J
ficntes which were allowed by Con- I
gross seven vears ago over President. I
Coolidge.
Veterans' Administrator Hines to*
night began employing additional
help to meet the demands from the
.'1, tOO,000 certificate holders eligible
to obtain the loans.
The average loan available to the
former service men" will be $o00. Interest
of 4Va per cent is charged.
While the president feared the treasury
would bo called upon for $1,000,
000,000 by the legislation, others estimated
the demand would not amount
to much^ver half that amount.
A littk' later President Hoover announced
he had issued orders to the
veterans bureau to give complete
priority to veterans in need in administering
the loans.
One of the objections that he raised
in his veto message was that it was
applicable to all veterans alike and
that some veteran- m need of aid
ftould not benefit by :t.
"Although 1 have been opposed to
the bonus bill," the president -aid.
"now that it has passed we propose
to facilitate it- working in everv
wa y."
Seventeen bandits had a field day
in four bank robberies on Wednesday.
At Hastings, Nob., the robbers got
$27.17.'! after they had bound and
gagged 13 officers and employes of
the bank as they appeared, and held
them in the basement until the timelocks
on the vault doors operated at
8:45 a. m.; at Dayton, O.. three men
held up the officers ten minutes after
the hank opened for business and got
away with $ 18.0(g); >;it Burlington,
b is., the bandit-, using machine guns,
robbed a bank of more than $10,000,
and at New Orleans bandits robbed
the St. Roch branch bank and escaped
with j?26,(XX), after a running battle
with the police.

Veteransf Hospital
Assured For State
The Chronicle on Wednesday received
a mee**ge from Senator K, I).
Smith, at Waahlngton, which brought
the welcome new* that South Carolina
is soon to have a three-hundred
bed veterans' hospital. The message
from Senator Smith re^ds as
follows: \ ?
"Hospital bill has been signed by
President carrying Senate amendment
for twenty million dollars which
assures, according to General Hines
letter to me, ono million^ three jtundred
thousand dollars for a three
hundred bed hospital in '.South Carolina."
/
A second message from Senator
Smith on Thursday morning advises
that South Carolina will be the first
to get this aid. It reads:
"Following passage of hospital legislation
and signing by President, 1
immediately called on General llines
and he advises that the committee
to Select a site in South Carolina will
ln*gin inspection within a week .01
ten days and upon selecting site a
survey will be made, bids advertised
for and construction will get under
way. General Hines says that the
board having these matters in charge
has decided that the South Carolina
hospital will he the first one to begin
construction in view of fact that
South Carolina now has no hospital
facilities for veterans."

Smith Convicted,
Granted New Trial
Pickens, V?b. 20.?-Convicted by a
jury of the murder of 0?*ie Gilatrap
with recommendation to metcy, P. 0.
Smith wa? granted a now trial immediately
after the verdict wba returned
lute tonight, Judge John 3.
Wileon granting the motion for tlie
defense and aaaertlng that the verdict
was excessive.
The jury reached agreement about
11:30 o'clock tonight after htwing
l>eei? out since 3:30 oVlock this afternoon.
^ a
Smith 'was tried for the fatal shooting
of Gilstrap in the kitchen of
Smith's cafe in Liberty last fall.
Motion for the new trial was offered
by Mendel L. Smith of counsel
for the defense. It was resisted vigorously
by the state in the limited
time allowed for argument.
Testimony was concluded this
morning with the appearance of the
defendant on the stund a^ concluding
feature. Smith, claiming that
he shot in self-defense after' Gilstrap
had first cursed and abused
him and then had come toward him
with an open knife, told the story
of the ,fatal occurrence in his restaurant.
Gilstrap, whom he claimed he had
befriended often and who was actually
in dobt to him at the time
of the shooting, came into the restaurant
in the afternoon of the fatal
day and he waited on him. He said
that Gilstrap ordered pepper and
when it burned him, became enraged
as others in the cafe laughed at
his discomfort'. A few minutes later,
Smith said, Gilstrap came to the rear
of the restaurant and 'behind the
counter to the kitchen with the knife,
at which time he felt called upon to
defend himself.
Kfforts were made by the state
to show that Smith had bought rubbing
alcohol to drink on the day of
the shooting but the defendant asserted
he had not drunk any of it,
having bought it to rulb his sore aide.
The defense sought to show that
Gilstrap bore animosity toward
Smith, had threatened him and was
unruly when under the influence of
an intoxicant. S[
Arguments lasted two hours with
W. Clarence Mann opening for the
state, Mendel Smith and I). W.
Smoak speaking for the defense and
Solicitor J. G. Leatherwood closing
for the state. - " t
