DANGER SPOTS FLECKING EVERY PART OF WORLD 1932 Memorial Day Found Flowers for Past Wars, Plans for Future. BY WILLIAM PniLIP SIMMS IWlppi-Hnu ard Forclcn Editor WASHINGTON, May 31.—Danger spots fleck every corner of the globe today. Japan la pouring troops into Manchuria, at tremendous expense, while Soviet Russia continues steadily to prepare along the frontier for the attack which Moscow feels certain will not be long delayed. Germany anxously is watching Poland, whom she accuses of planning to seize the free city of Dantzig, as Italy seized Flume, and m effect has warned that country that such a coup means war. The Breuning government at Berlin has resigned, while observers predict revolution. The Lausanne reparations and war debts conference, now little over two weeks off, probably will settle the fate of the Berlin regime. Unless Germany is let off from further payments, or the next thing to it. a Fascist-Communist revolt is believed almost certain. Stalemate Reached Elsewhere in central and southeastern Europe, financial collapse threatens the economic, even the political, stability of the old world, yet the Danube parley—to rescue. Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia. Rumania and Yugoslavia-reached a stalemate before it got under way. The world arms conference at Geneva has failed. Few. if any, believe it will accomplsih anything, no matter how long it sits. Ihe pricipal powers represented there are poles apart. Yet upon it. Arthur Henderson, former British foreign minister, its chairman, said at the outset, not only world economic rehabilitation, but world peace, depended. China, perhaps the world s cniei danger spot today, is not only confronted with warlike Japan, bent on conquest, but is split in two by major factions threatening civil war and menaced by so-called red armies on the march with the avowed intention of taking over the country. India continues ablaze with rebellion against England, Moslem is battling Hindu, and Burma is planning secession from the Indian empire and union with Britain. Further bloodshed is inevitable. Market Battle On A world struggle for markets is on. But trade almost is at a standstill. A perilous tariff war is in full swing as each nation seeks to bar the products of the rest. Latin America, in retaliation is reported to be organizing a Pan-American bloc against Uncle Sam, as sentiment against us mounts. The world scramble for gold is growing more bitter. Two countries. America and France, have cornered two-thirds of the supply, but what seems to be an effort to drain America's share, and throw her off the gold standard, is under way. Silver, the money of approximately two-thirds of the inhabitants of the globe, has been demonetized and almost is worthless. Vast China. India. Latin America and other parts of the world, virtually have been wiped out as buyers. Credit—without which business, both national and international, is paralyzed—stands frozen by fear of what has and what might, come. Unemployment is universal and as responsible rulers in each nation seek to throw the blame for their plight on other nations, nationalism everywhere is at fever pitch adding to the danger. Such was the cheerless background of Memorial day—flowers for past wars mixed with preparations for bigger ones to come.

HONOR MEMORY OF MILLARD FILLMORE Two Tablets riaced at Hosting Place of 13th President. By t nilnl Press BUFFALO. N. Y. May 31.—The grave of Millard Fillmore, which heretofore has shown no indication that a United States President was ■buried there, today was marked by two tablets. One tablet reads: "In memory ot Millard Fillmore, thirteenth President of the United States of America.” The other: In memory of Millard Fillmore. Buffalo teacher, who became President of the United Stales.” The tablets were dedicated at Memorial day exercises by the Millard Fillmore Republican Women's Club. USE RUBBER AS TINDER British Find Crude Product Is Less Costly Than Kindling. Fy Science Service NEW YORK. May 31.—Raw rubber now selling for less than kindling wood is being used to light open fires in many British homes, it is reported in rubber circles here. Cut into strips, one pound of rubber costing about 5 cents will serve to kindle seven or eight fires. Although not generally realized, crude rubber bums easily without any offensive smell. The British owners of rubber plantation shares are encouraging the use of rubber in starting the coal fires of England in order to dispose of the excess of this material that has depressed the price below the cost of production.

As I step from the train I see a bit of color m a window of the customs house. Petunias? Yes! The buidllng has been enlarged and painted; over there are dapper soldiers; appetizing smells come from the restaurant and over here are smooth customs inspectors ! A year has brought changes to Negoreloye and surprises to me! But wait—what is that? A barber shop! And within, a citizen being shorn of his brush! Russia—Negoieloye. at least—is changed inaeed. Has the country gone off the mould standard? Fifty of us follow our baggage into the customs house. Each takes a place behind his bags, resting on the rectangular shelf which squares the room. 1 WONDER about the silk stockings in my bags and the coffee, sugar and soap friends in Berlin have persuaded me to bring. An inspector turns to a German at my left. As the Teuton's bag flies open, the Soviet symbol, hammer and sickle appears on the masthead of a newspaper covering his possessions. The paper is Die Rote Fahne, Berlin s Communist sheet. Will that soften the inspection? Should I have lined my bags with the Daily Worker? The customs inspector docs not read German. He Jerks the paper away, digs both hands into the bag and pulls out a few clothes and many papers, pencils, magazines and books. The inspector is puzzled. He beckons a superior. The second inspector has a sharp look and wears glasses. He fingers the papers suspiciously as the German sputters, mops his brow and pulls at the collar around his purpling throat. Somehow, the German gets by. At my right a Pole is having trouble. His inspector has fished out silk and lace lingerie and a pair of women's shoes. For a friend? Yes. But duty must be paid on clothes for others. The pathetic finery is tossed on the desk in the center of the room and another inspector, with scale and abacus, calculates the duty. My turn. -<• • ft tt WITH a smile I recognize my inspector, by the Chester Conklin mustache, as the kind chap who performed the inspection a year ago. Better, he remembers me. Hr finds several large, sealed packagers. ‘ Thees eez food?" ‘'Food,” I echo. “O. K.” He has acquired anew expression. I offer him a package of mints. “I can not take. Eez not permitted. I compliment him on his English. He smiles wry .y. The ordeal is over. Farther along two Russian women weep as another inspector ferrets out a package of tea and a paper of sticky dates. Beyond, the seams of a man's overcoat are being ripped open. "Roshians," my inspector explains. "Eez Finlander, Man weeth coat. Borderlands, Rumania, Poland, China, we look more Americans, nichevo.” A comforting word, nichevo. It means all right, never mind, O. K. I pass through the customs house with its new. pearl-gray paint and new telephones, its map of Russia dotted with samples of its products and its well-stocked newsstand. I enter the restaurant.

IT is more like a conservatory. Palms are everywhere. Tablecloths now cover the boards. Each table bears a pot of radiant blossoms. Each pot is tied with a pink or blue paper bow. The floor is scrubbed. The food— Not bad. Three dollars for cabbage soup, ham omelet, tea and bread. Swift service. So far. good. But as I board my train and roll toward Moscow T am assailed by the suspicion that the brushing up at Negoreloye maybe only a bit of show’-ofl. Still doubting. I arrive in Moscow As the train disgorges its passengers. representatives of Russia's travel bureau fly up and down the platform shouting Tntourist!’’ and shepherding those travellers who respond into waiting cars to take them through streets to hotels. X remember the streets of Moscow crowded, but not like this. Thousands of people. Hundreds of families. Mothers, fathers and small children, each with a pack. Where are they going? a a a SEVERAL hundred khaki-clad soldiers, rookies, step along the street behind a band. They sing as they march. Clanging trams zoom by demoniacally. As many ride outside as in. A raucous voice from an overhead street radio loud speaker booms out A scarlet coffin in a horsedrawn hearse passes. A band playing a dirge and men on foot follow. “Red coffins?" I ask the Intourist interpreter beside me. “Yes, for big Communists. He must have been an important man." Going through Red Square our car makes a wide detour, being almost forced on the sidewalk, to avoid a crowd. I can make out glistening steel centering around someone in the center of the mob. The crowd, at some command, thins, and J see two cringing soldiers march along, flanked by eight guards with bayonets pointed toward the pair. have they done?" I ask.

Camera records of sprucing up in Russia show street s being washed, cases brightened with palms and traffic controlled by signal lights.

‘ Probably they are deserters or political prisoners,” the interpreter answers. “Anyhow, serious offenders, or else they would not be marched at the point of the bayonet.” nun OUR car threads its way through thick, sluggish crowds of horses and people, through screaming, rushing streams of trucks and taxis. Another knot of people brings the car to a dead stop. “A comrade has thrown a ciraret on the street,” the interpre-

The Home Has No Rival As Security For Borrowed Money “Since shelter is one of the basic needs of all people, home financing is one of the most necessary services in our whole business fabric,” states Mr. Ralph H. Richards, Director of Field Service of the United States Building and Loan League. Records prove that, “ a man will make greater effort to keep up his payments on his house than he will to discharge any other kinds of debt. With these two factors in mind we can understand the unparalleled safety of investment in building and loan associations which finance homes exclusively.” He further states that, “We have figures from the first half of 1931 to prove that the dollars‘of 12,000,000 shareholders were 99.89% safe. This safety means that the investment is worth one hundred cents on the dollar. It is a record unchallenged by any other nongovernment investment in the country.” His above statement of safety applies literally to your associations in Marion County. Your dollars HAVE remained safe. Association shares HAVE earned regular dividends, and the conservative method by which individual loans are made is only one of the reasons why this has been possible. Rigid state laws; experience during depressions, of which there have been seventeen; and ample reserves make building and loan shares an enviable investment. Conditions are improving . . . you can help them improve more quickly by putting your money to work NOW. m Due to the efficiency of \ m building and loan asso- ] § nations, Indianapolis * b ranks near the top in * f home ownership among fe cities of the United 3 E States.

ter explains after she catches a bit of the multiple conversations. “That woman is reporting him to the militiaman. ‘There is no need for him to throw trash on the street. There are receptacles everywhere.” She points them out. Tall blue canisters lean against buildings at sixty-foot intervals. Is that man having his shoes shined? He stands with his foot raised upon a box while another flicks a rag over his feet. “Yes, shoes are now shined In Moscow. You may be shod, too. if

you like. Just put your foot on the box and the shoe shiner taps on anew sole as a blacksmith might shoe a horse. "Do you hear the polisher shouting, 'Davai tchisit, tovarLsh!’? ‘Let us shine you up, citizen!’ ” We have arrived at my hotel. The cry of the shou shiner lingers in my memory like a slogan born of anew consciousness: “‘Davai tchisit, tovarish!” Next—Changing hotel condition: in Moscow.

BONUS ARMY IS NEARLY BROKE; FUNDS JOUGHT Costigan Asks Senate for $75,000 for Veterans Jamming Capital. By United Pent WASHINGTON. May 31.—Federal funds were sought today to provide for the regiment of destitute, bonusseeking war veterans who have laid siege to congress. Senator Costigan (Dem., Colo.), introduced a bill calling for immediate appropriation of $75,000 to feed and house the veterans. A senate committee will consider the measure Wednesday. Costigan acted after Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent of police, reiterated a warning that he would have to ask the bonus army of occupation to leave the city as soon as funds for its support are exhausted. This morning only a two-day food supply donated by business men was on hand for the 601 veterans quartered in temporary' barracks—a garage and an abandoned store. Some money was promised by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and two benefit shows have been arranged. But these prospective funds would be comparatively small, and the veterans seemed determined to stick it out for some time. On to Capital By United Pm* EVANSVILLE. Ind., May 31.—A delegation of nearly fifty unemployed World war veterans were en route to Washington today to join a demand for payment of the bonus. The cavalcade left here In six autos, loaned them for the trip. Food for the journey was donated by merchants. Before their departure, the veterans were given a breakfast in the unemployed relief cooking school.

GRASHHALTS '# HOP TO TOW Ship Damaged in Refueling; Fliers Drop in Water. By United Preu SEATTLE. May 31.—Nat C. Browne, former Texan, nursed a dislocated shoulder here today, his long cherished hope of flying nonstop to Tokio apparently lying at the bottom of Puget sound with the fragments of his airplane, the Lone Star. Browne and Frank Brooks, professional sky-jumper and stunt man, floated into the water with parachutes when the Lone Star, damaged in attempting to refuel from another plane, went out of control and fell apart at the 2.000-foot level. It appeared that a prize which now aggregates $29,960 would be withdrawn, as announced, at midnight Wednesday. The original $25000 was posted shortly after Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic ocean in 1927. but no man has vet winged without halt from Seattle to Tokio. Brooks, who had intended to drop in a parachute after refueling, was in a rear compartment of the Lone Star as Frank Whaley’s refueling biplane came into position overhead. A fifty-pound weight had been tied to the hose. The leaded hose swung back to the tail assembly and caught the stabilizer, ripping completely hrough the rear controls. The Lone Star dived about 7PO feet. As Browne attempted to right it, a wing crumpled under the wpight of the 650 gallon load of gasoline. The plane fell sideways and the other wing collapsed. Both men Jumped. A speed boat rescued them. A smoking compartment and special accommodations for dogs are provided in anew three-decker motor bus just put into use in Rome. The vehicle carries eightyeight passengers.
