United We Stand oe . State Prison Board Director A, R. O’Brien lamented at long length on this situation the other day, and most emphatically declared that the board would find a way to remedy it.

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. ; A Plea to Uncle Sam et. (Contributed) 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. .

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.
