CARDENAS GOES
WHOLE WAY WITH OIL
There is no better example of what lengths a govern-
ment may have to go to when it continues to truck to
rascal labor. At the continued insistence of Mexican oil
workers, President Cardenas finally capitulated and
expropriated all foreign petroleum holdings. No sooner
was the ink dry on the president's order than the work-
era rushed to take physical possession of all oil prop-
erties, including office buildings.
Just where this new Mexican move is going to
lead to. not even Cardenas knows. It looks very
much as though he has given the calf too much
rope, departed too far toward the Hammer and
Sickle rule of Sovietland. Just because the oil pro-
perties were owned by foreign capital in no way
explains the situation for Mexico's major indus-
trial development has come from outside that
country. Maybe President Cardenas has decided
that Mexico is self-sufficient.
If Mexico intends to compensate for the seizure of the
properties it is not known. A better plan in the case
would have been to bargain with the owners in ad-
vance and reach some agreement as to price and man-
ner of payment. That would at least indicate an atti-
tude of respect for private property. The affair is
not without its international difficulties, involving as
it does both British and American oil firms.

A PLACE WHERE DOGS
HAVE MORE THAN THEIR DAY
Buried deep in what might have been more impor-
tant news the other day was a heart-warming little
story from Butte, Mont., revealing that no man in
that city is willing to start chasing unlicensed dogs for
the sake of the $5-per-day remuneration the job car-
ries with it.
Police Chief Walter Shay, after advertising in
the help wanted columns for a good dog catch-
er and receiving absolutely no replies, announced
his conviction that Butte must be about "100 per
■ .... 4 cent for dogs."
jia^ That is line. Not that dog catchers can't be all
Caiyght citizens, becau.se they can. Theirs is a job
i\^ and jhas to be done.
, .JF The good point of it all is that the dog catcher's job
"^joes begging not because no citizen of Butte needs the
$5-per-day, but because no citizen is willing to put
himself in a position where some act of his might
bring heartbreak to a kid who couldn't afford to buy
a license for his dog.

WASHINGTON' — This
country is going lo have
to produce more big-time
public enemies among the
women if Bureau of Pri-
sons Director Jim Bennett
is to get that new federal
penitentiary for women
which he has urged Con-
gress to provide.
Bennett and Attorney
General Cummings asked for
funds to start, three new
prisons, one of them to he
"another Alcatraz" for hard-
boiled women convicts.
They complained that the
federal women's reforma-
tory was neither big enough
to hold all their women
prisoners nor strong enough
to keep gentlemen friends
from busting in and rescu-
ing some of the inmates.
Furthermore, they said,
there was need of a place
where all the tough ones
could be segregated.
But a checkup shows that
American womanhood has
produced almost no public
enemfes of note and that
among the small handful
who have had then photo-
graphs in other than home-
town papers, each lady has
achieved fame in crime only
through association with a
more celebrated husband or
boy friend.
In numbers, federal fe-
male prisoners trail far
behind—only 128:! of them
were among 22,89fi persons
admitted to federal prisons
last year.
Few liJKly Big Shots
Kalhryn Kelly, wife of
Machine Gun Kelly, and ac-
cording to some theories
the brains of the Ursehei
kidnaping gang, unquestion-
ably is the star hoarder
among Bennett's lambs. But
Kathryn comes far from
being a feminine A1 Capone
even though she is a per-
manent guest.
There's also Dolores De
laney, who figured in what-
ever tender moments Alvin
Karpis may have had. And
Sylvia Sieber Bird, serving
a long term because she

who is still out — helped
.spring the bank-robbing
Iiirds from the Cleveland
jail last year.
But that's about the list
and the only other lady cel-
ebrity whom Bennett has to
keep indoors is Mme. Mae
Sebeible of New York, who
used to operate certain
houses of questionable
character.
Evelyn Frechette, who
spent a couple of years as
a federal prisoner because of
the aid and comfort she
gave her bad boy friend
John D'llinger, emerged to
join a traveling show and
now travels around the
country telling small crowds
all about the late John and
(how crime doesn't pay.
."Most ly Accomplices
So the hard-boiled House
Appropriations Committee
looked the situation over
and decided that Mr. Ben-
nett, for the time being,
could have only one new
SI,350,000 prison, not three.
That probably will have to
be used for men, although
the women probably will
get theirs sooner or later
because hundreds of them
are now farmed out to
state institutions.
Federal prisons never do
get the real fancy murder-
esses, even when they're
convicted. Federal crimes
for which women are most
often convicted are, in ord-
er of frequency, violations
nf the narcotics act, boot-
legging, violation of the
immigration act, counter-
feiting and forgery. In most
cases the women arc only
accomplices or accessories
after the fact, often har-
boring or aiding some man
who's the cause of ii all.
.Memories liinger On
Memories of prohibition
iit ill haunt the subconscious
minds of some Washington-
ians.
At a recent banquci of the
District of Columbia Bar-
risters' Association at which
Supreme Court Justice Stan-
ley Reed was guest of hon-
or, the martini cocktails
were carefully hidden be-
hind individual bowls of
flowers which appeared be-
fore each person at the
head table.

A guard at one of the
side entrances to the Capi-
tol, recently found asleep at
Iiis post by an outraged
senator who made a big
fuss over it. has been con-
tinued on the job after a
mere reprimand because

tor's personal patronage . .

Anson Weeks to
Play in City
While most orchestra leaders
are content to ride along on the
glories of reflected past suc-
cesses, Anson Weeks continues
to strive even harder to add
more laurels to his already ov-
er-burdened brow.
For the genial baton waver,
who has recently concluded his
second season in Chicago alter-
nating at the Aragon and Tri-
anon ballrooms, is rapidly as-
suming a prominent niche in the
list of America's composers of
"hit" tunes .
In coming to Sweetwater for
one night Monday, March 28,
Weeks will not only introduce
many innovations in dance mu-
sic but will also present his
own compositions which alrea-
dy have established him as a
permanent resident of famed
"Tin Pan Alley."
Some of his own compositions
included "The Waltz I Love,"
"I'm Sorry, Dear," "Sorry,"
"Tuck Me In To Sleep, Phe
Last Dance," and more recent-
ly "Pali," a haunting rhythm of
the Hawaiian Islands.

It is a nice program, but entails
a lot of work for many com-

When Ken Maynard, former
cowboy star of the movies, stop-
ped in Sweetwater on his way
to Hollywood, he met an old
friend in A. C. Hefner, assist-
ant manager of the Blue Bon-
net and Allen hotels. Maynard
and the Sweetwater man have
known each other for several
years, and had a nice chat dur-
ing Ken's brief stop.
Maynard is en route to the
West Coast, where he will join
the Cole Brothers circus, of
which he is part owner. This is
his first experience under the
"big top," and he is enthusiastic
over the prospect of the com-
ing season.
"Turzan" Padlocked
Of course, the cowboy star's
plans were marred by the suit
of Miss Josephine Yannosey Sey-
more of Hollywood brought in
Memphis, which resulted in his
horse "Tarzan," with all his
trimmings, being locked in the
stable by a sheriff. The suit
arose after Maynard pleaded
guilty to simple assault and paid
a $50 fine in Memphis. Then the
girl sued Maynard for $50,000.
