FEAR MUST BE BANISHED FOR WORLD REVIVAL Arms Cut Must Accompany Any Reduction of War Debts. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Rcrtpps-Howard Forfirn Editor Resources of the United States Increased in value approximately *22,500,000.000 as a result of the recent advance in commodity and security prices, according to the New York World-Telegram. That is exactly double Europe's total war debts to the United States —even if they were going to be paid in full, which, very decidedly, they are not. This stupendous advance occurred in about three weeks’ time. That is more than a billion dollars every twenty-four hours. In other words, a single day's advance brought a book gain to the American people equal to more than three whole years of average war debts installments. Farm products alone rose more than a billion dollars. Prices Go Soaring In the three weeks following the July low, wheat rose 10 cents a bushel. Increase, *100,000,000. Cattle gained *1.40 a hundredweight. Increase, $50,000,000. Corn went up 4 cents a bushel. Increase, $120,000,000. The upturn in cotton totaled *120,000,000; oats, *30,000,000; hogs, *91,000,000. And so on all along the line, until American farmers were better off to the tune of a thousand million dollars or four times the 1931-32 war debt installment from Europe, which has not been, and never may be, paid. A relatively small, but genuine, improvement in the world situation would make a gain like that stick. Anything which would cause even a gentle zephyr of world confidence to start blowing and remain constant would do the job. Europe says—“ Why doesn’t the United States do something about the war debts? Then times would be better.” War Debts Not Main Factor The war debts are a factor, and a big factor, but not the predominant one. Revision, or even cancellation, by itself, would not be sufficient to bring back good times. Debts alone did not cause the world crisis, and they alone can not cure it. If the stupendous dislocations of capital, labor, populations, and trade due to the World war started the depression, the war’s vicious aftermaths are keeping it going. Some of these are: 1. The world race for armaments and the fear of another war. 2. Reparations and war debts. 3. The Balkanization of Europe. 4. Faulty distribution of gold, collapse of silver, freezing of credit, monetary chaos, and the breakdown of international exchange. 5. The world-wide tariff war and trade strangulation. 6. The isolation of Russia. These troubles dovetail. Cure one and leave the others, and the world eventually would go to smash just the same.

Parleys Must Give Results Next fall, in Europe, there is to be a world economic conference. Next fall, also, Europe will demand revision or cancellation of war debts. Next winter, at Geneva, they are going to make another stab at reduction and limitation of armaments. Unless these three moves deliberately are given some sort of correlation—unless these conferences .are held, in rapport., one with the others—there is little hope of any lasting benefits from any of them. Until these problems are systemr Mcally, broadly, and intelligently worked out at a conference, or at a series of inter-related parleys and diplomatic discussions, the same old wall of fear, suspicion, national, and international unrest will continue to block the road to better times. To all this, many believe, the United States holds the key. Europe insists on debt cancellation. The debts, therefore, could be used as a sort of lever to set in motion a program to settle the major problems now holding back the world. THE END FI N KELSTEIN-SENIOR CONFLICT IS RENEWED Damage Suit of SIO,OOO Is Filed in Superior Court Two. The Finkelstein-Senior war was renewed Thursday on anew frontsuperior court two. Mrs. Mary Senior, 924 South Capitol avenue, filed a SIO,OOO damage suit in the court against Mrs. Pearl Finkelstein, 1102 Union street, wife of Ben Finkelstein. He is defendant in a divorce suit which names Mrs. Senior. Suit is based on an allegation of malicious prosecution. Fine of SIOO and a thirty-day jail term, was imposed Tuesday on Mrs. Senior by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer on a liquor nuisance conviction. She was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Finkelstein, who on three occasions in a month caused liquor search warrants to be issued. Mrs. Finkelstein asserted in obtaining the warrants that her husband has been drunk almost every night for eleven years, and that he obtained liquor from -the other woman." Among allegations of the damage suit is one that Mrs. Finkelstein declared she ''would not rest easy until Mrs. Senior was behind the bars." It is also charged that the defendant offered a reward to any person who would place liquor or other evidence in the Senior home.

An hour later, after reporting the theft to police, she returned to the garage to find the car in its berth and the doors locked. The car had been driven only a few miles.

M’ADOO FACES WORTHY RIVAL

Brilliant Young Frisco Man Is Senate Race Opponent

BY PHILIP J. SINNOTT NEA Service Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5. California’s 2.000,000 voters will find it difficult to register their approval or disapproval of prohibition, the hardest-fought issue in the 1932 political campaign. Nationally, the Democratic party is committed to repeal and the Republican party is committed to a resubmission plan. But voters of this state face the paradoxical situation raised by a Republican senatorial candidate who is a fiery champion of repeal and a Democratic candidate who has a long record as a "dry” and who has yet to declare himself on the prohibition issued in 1932. It all comes about as the result of the state’s Democrats nominating William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury, as their senatorial candidate, and the choice of Tallant Tubbs, youthful San Francisco manufacturer, by the Republicans. McAdoo and Tubbs will go to the polls in November in a battle for the senate seat now held by Senator Samuel Shortridge, whom Tubbs defeated for renomination. This race, which promises to be one of the hottest in the nation, will be between a 69-year-old political veteran who almost became his party presidential candidate in 1914 and an aggressive 34-year-old San Franciscan, whose name now is scarcely known beyond the borders of his state. n a M'ADOO, formerly the high priest of the nation's Democratic drys and famed for his wartime service in Woodrow Wilson's cabinet, is attempting a comeback after eight years’ retirement from the political arena. Tubbs, hitherto a. member of California's legislature, is making his first bid for a major political office. The paradoxical situation that found each candidate at variance with his party's national prohibition stand arose during their primary campaigns. Tubbs was an out-and-out repealist; McAdoo, long a champion of the drys, made no specific utterance. The youthful nominee who replaces the veteran Senator Shortridge in the favor of California’s Republicans is a native of California, a Yale graduate and the son of wealthy parents. Despite his apparent youth, he is no neophyte in affairs political. For eight years he has been a state senator and has established himself not only as a prohibition foe, but as an independent progressive. Though born to wealth. Tubbs’ legislative records has satisfied labor and his interest in veterans’ legislation has won him friends among ex-service men. tt tt u RICH, youthful, and handsome, Tubbs was considered northern California's prize bachelor until his marriage a year ago to Olivia Pillsbury Gibson, equally prominent socially. A former war pilot who left Yale at the outbreak of hostilities in 1917 to join the army’s aviation corps, he still flies his own plane. He has an autogiro which he used quite effectively during his campaign in getting over the state to his meetings. In business, he operates a large rope factory. In sharp contrast to Tubbs is his veteran opponent. McAdoo, who has returned to the political arena for the first time since his defeat for the presidential nomination in his historic battle with A1 Smith at Madison Square Garden in 1924. He played a prominent part at the recent Democratic convention in Chicago, when he swung California's delegation to Roosevelt, thereby breaking a fastdeveloping deadlock and making Roosevelt’s nomination certain. Previously McAdoo had championed Garner for the nomination. McAdoo also has an airplane, and his pretty daughter, Ellen, 17,

5-MONTH SCHOOLS LOOM IN TOWNSHIPS

Confronted by financial difficul-' ties, Marion county township schools may be forced to close their doors within the next five months, it was revealed Friday. Trustees of the various townships, with the exception of Washington, have sent word to county school heads that lack of funds may terminate the school year in January or February, three months before the regular session expires. Blame for the situation was laid today by school authorities on legislative action, chiefly passage of the $1.50 tax limitation bill. A legislative resolution which slashed salaries of governmental employes has cut pay of county school teachers on the basis of wages whiefy they never were paid, they charged. The law provides that all persons working on a per diem basis shall be considered as working 300 days

Bolts Knives Physicians at the city hospital gasped with amazement Friday afterncon when they returned to an operating room to find that a patient whom they had left strapped to the table had fled. A nearby open window afforded the only means of exit from the room except for the dor through which the doctors had left. Later police returned the patient to the hospital. Again strapping him to the table, the doctors completed their operation, without taking further chances. Walter Fleming, 35, of 314 East St. Clair street, was the patient. Arrested for drunkenness. he was sent to the hospital for treatment of an injured hand. His landlady, Mrs. Irene Stewart, called police when Fleming returned to the house.

whom McAdoo wed in a brilliant ceremony in the Blue room of the White House in 1914. In addition to Ellen, they have another daughter, Mary Faith, now 12. McAdoo's life story is the typically American narrative of a poor boy who worked his way up to position and wealth. Born in Marietta, Ga., in 1863, the seventh son of an old southern family, his first job was as a newsboy. tt tt AT 18, he became a deputy federal court clerk at Chattanooga, Tenn., and later was admitted to the bar. Several years later he moved to New York to practice law and later won fame and fortune as president of the company which drilled the first railroad tunnels under the Hudson river. His first wife, Sarah Hazelhurst Fleming, whom he married in

a year. The county teachers’ contracts provide per diem pay. Since the teachers receive pay for only about 180 days a year, they point out that they are being cut on the basis of 120 days of pay which they do not get. The additional salary cut, together with the prospect of the shorter school year, the teachers say, will place teachers on serious financial straits. *IR MAIL IN FAR NORTH Service Will Be Opened to Great Bear Lake.

A delegate to the Baltimore convention that nominated Wilson in 1912, McAdoo was an active worker in Wilson’s behalf during the campaign of that year. When Wilson was elected, McAdoo was made secretary of the treasury. He held that office during the war, floating the gigantic Liberty bond issues, raising billions in taxes for the army and navy and, eventually, serving as director of the nation’s railroads when they were under government operation.

SCIENTISTS TO BRAVE WINTER ON HIGH PEAK Mt. Washington Will Be Scene of Observations by Party. Bp Science Sereice PINKHAM NOTCH, N. H., Sept. 3.—The summit of famous Mount Washington, highest of the White mountains, will be occupied by a scientific party this fall for the first time since 1887. Weather, aurora, magnetic, radio and other observations will be made at this frigid point, 6.288 feet high, as a part of the second polar year pregram being participated in by many nations this year and next. The observing program is being arranged under direction of Joseph B. Dodge, manager of the Appalachian Mountain club huts in the White mountains, with co-operation of leading scientists, among them Dr. Charles F. Brooks, director of the Blue Hill observatory of Harvard university; Professor J. W. Goldthwait of Dartmouth college, and Dr. Norman E. Gilbert, also of Dartmouth, president of the New Hampshire academy of science. Three observers will live on the summit from Oct. 15 to June 15 of next year. In recent winter seasons, the mountain has been abandoned to the wind and cold and a few intrepid mountaineers, although during the summer months hundreds of tourists visit the summit by cog railroad, auto road or trail. Mercury Fall Far A hotel is operated at the summit during the summer, but the rigors of Arctic winter weather close the peak to casual visitors about the middle of October. Although geographically in the temperate zone, the summit of Mt. Washington is climatologically in the Arctic. It is above the timber line and temperatures as low as 59 degrees below zero Fahrenheit and wind velocities up to 186 miles an hour were recorded there during the seventeen years, 1871-1887, that government weather bureau observations were made there winter and summer. The observations this winter, made with the most modern instruments, will be an important part of the extensive probing of the inconstants of nature provided by the polar year plans. At the Pinkham Notch headquarters camp of the Appalachian Mountain club, weather and other observations will be made regularly during the winter to provide a basis of comparison for observations made on the Mt. Washington summit two and one-half miles air line distance, but 4,281 feet higher in altitude. Radio Station Planned Dodge has spent eleven years, summer and winter, in the White mountains, living with his family at Pinkham Notch. He will manage the expedition and serve as relief on the summit for the regular observers, as well as operate the comparison station at Pinkham Notch. In earlier winter observations, nearby comparison stations were lacking. A complete radio station, with call Tetters WIOB, will be installed on the summit to allow observers to communicate with polar year expeditions in the far north and other points in the outside world. Constant communication will be maintained with Dodge’s radio station, WIUN, at Pinkham Notch. There also will be regular schedules with Boston and other cities for transmission of daily weather and magnetic observations. Transmitters will use the amateur fre-

DROUGHT IS FACED By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Preparations for winter wheat planting have been delayed, and six eastern and southern states again are threatened by drought, the United States weather bureau revealed today. The rainless area included New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and parts of North Carolina. Much late corn is burning, and in Pennsylvania, farmers are cutting the stalks and feeding the grain to cows, suffering as the result of ruined pasture lands. Some tobacco fields in the south and truck crops in the east have been ruined. The bureau explained that the drought is a progressive phenomenon and the longer it continues, the less chance there is of rain. quency bands of 3,500 to 4,000, 7,000 to 7,300. and 14,000 to 14,400 kilocycles.

HOOVER ORDERS 0. S. CLERKS' ‘OACJEMOVED President Intervenes in Case of Gary Federal Employe: Man Is Reinstated. By Scripps-Hoicnrd Scics'paper Alliunct WASHINGTON. Sept. 3—The blanket gag on federal employes’ discussion of the bonus and other governmental questions imposed by departmental heads and the civil service commission was removed today through the action of President Herbert Hoover. Reversing his earlier decision, Thomas E. Campbell, chairman of the civil sendee commission, said that each case of a federal workers’ discussion of the bonus and other public matters would be investigated and judged on its merits. He took this step after receiving a sharp letter from Hoover asking whether the bonus had been included among the subjects which 1.000,000 employes and their families could not discuss publicly. The President intervened after disclosure in the Scripps-Howard newspapers that a Gary ilnd.) postoffice clerk had been dismissed, partly because he sponsored a bonus resolution at a meeting of his local American Legion post. Following a conference with Hoover, Postmaster-General Walter F. Brown announced that Ben H. Kerr, the Gary employee, would be reinstated. In a letter to Brown, Hoover said he never had “made any suggestion as to this or any other public question in its relation to the conduct of government employes.' The President referred to the second item in the •indictment against Kerr, which charged him with introducing “a bonus resolution at a meeting of the American Legion, Crown Point, Ind., contrary to the expressed wishes of the President, who has declared such legislation harmful to the country at this time.” Although Kerr also had been found guilty of “repeated delinquencies,” according to Brown, his reinstatement was ordered to show that the administration does not intend to restrict freedom of thought or speech.
