Perhaps it is not fair to call racketeering elements part
of the “public,” but nevertheless they are still at large, and
they have been preying on the felons.
tacketeers have tried to reach the prisoners in the pose of selfrespecting lawyers, with a promise that, for enough money,
they would secure the prisoner's parole.

ily, too, when lives are at stake in an emergency.
A threat of wholesale epidemic of deadly spinal meningtraining
ship last week caused consternation in numerous, California
itis aboard the California State Nautical School's
homes. ¢
Inall, 70 cadets were on board, most of them from, various cities in this state: One youth died of the disease, and a
‘second was stricken, although not seriously. . Swiftly the
Menace was brought under control, but only after several
men in scattered points had acted quickly and decisively. ...
When the second case developed, the ship’s commander sent out an SOS for medical aid. Immediately from Balboa,
in the Canal Zone, the destroyer Tattnall began a race to the
rescue, carrying physicians, serum and medical equipment.
Before the Tattnall arrived, however, a passenger liner had
gone out of its way to transfer a sma!l amount of serum and
medical attendant to the cadet ship.
Not tong after the destroyer arrived, the cadet ship’s
‘commander radioed: “No further danger.” =
The unexpected suddenness of the outbreak of epidemic
is reflected in messages radioed from the ship. — First was,
“Cadet Willard Moore developed apparent case spinal men“ingitis, best course proceed canal to obtain earliest hospitalization;’’ then, “Cadet Moore condition very serious,” then
on te same day, “Cadet Moore died-at noon without suffering, notify parents;’’ and then, “Second case meningitis developing, have requested help from navy, Panama.”
Always, in emergencies, men act rapidly and-together.
If only they could act in the same manner when the pressure
is not so great. ;

Gradually, the business of providing relief for the unemployed in California is working toward a crisis that we can
no longer pretend to ignore. .
Last week Frank Y. McLaughlin, State Director of WPA
got a wire from Washington saying our quota could not exceed 150,000 men, when already we have 154,000 on works
celief and had hoped to transfer 30,000 more from direct relief, which is becoming too big a load for the SERA to carry
Later, press dispatches from Washington indicated there
would be no paring down of WPA, but nevertheless the Guota
stil! remains uncomfortably small. With luck and a continued
_increase in private employment, however, we may get around
this WPA trouble.
Also we may survive the unhealthy situation of having
no state appropriations for relief during the last half of the
present biennium, by continuing to finance it with state warrants, or I. O. U’s.
: But there is a third difficulty which will take more than
luck to surmount. . The Federal government has curtailed
transient relief in California, and already it is reflected in increased panhandling, in the recrudescence of hobo jungles.

We Judge Raglan Tuttle, National CounUnguestionably it ought to be remedied.
But the principal probl=m of society would seem still to
be the protection against, rather than of, the criminal. And
Congress has taken a step in this direction that deserves a
good word. It has begun passage of a bill designed to control
interstate shipment of firearms, with the object of making it
hard for the criminal % get hold of a gun.
The present controversy over the British subject condemned to hang at San Quentin for his part in the prison
break in. which the parole board was kidnapped, is an interesting commentary upon guns and their availability.
Though the British government is protesting MacKay's
execution, certainly in England where guns are absolutely not
available, he would not have had the weapon he used in the
abortive escape. And too, in England where justice is notably
swift, he most likely would have been executed long before
this.
incidentally, it is unfortunate that Britain. protested,
since in this case at least the United States, and California,
seemed to be getting along all right without need of suggestions from abroad.
