NEXT CABINET IS WELL SUITED FOR 'NEW DEAL' Analyzed as Industrious Group Who Will Work in Harmony. (Continued From Page One) oral reduction of international trade barriers. His appointment virtually serves notice on the world. American industry and agriculture that the next President considers a cut in tariff duties to be essential to world recovery. It emphasizes the President-elect's conviction that debts, tariffs, trade, arrangements and economic questions will be the principal problems confronting his administration in foreign affairs. Bid Made to Progressives As prosecutor of alleged “trusts” and an advocate of rational tolerance in the field of civil liberties, Senator Walsh will bring an entirely new spirit to the department of justice after three Republican regimes. Nevertheless, he is one of the sanest men in public life and, basically, inclined to take a sober, restrained view of things. Woodin, as a leading industrialist, is expected to run the treasury along conservative lines in a time when there are insistent demands for radical changes :n banking, currency and financial methods. Mr. Roosevelt’s apparent desire for an amalgamation of Democrats and certain Progressive groups is believed to be reflected in the selection of Wallace and Ickes. Although President Hoover picked out two Democrats—Attorney-Gen-eral Mitchell and Charles F. Adams,

Although President Hoover picked out two Democrats—Attorney-Gen-eral Mitchell and Charles F. Adams, secretary of the navy—neither man had been as active in politics as have Mr. Roosevelt's mavericks. Old-Line Democrats Absent Wallace’s father, the later Henry C. Wallace, was secretary of agriculture under President Harding—and a bitter foe of Mr. Hoover, by the way—while Ickes was a Bull Moose manager in 1912, and has been prominent in the Republican Progressive family since. Woodin was a Union League Republican from Pennsylvania until he enlisted under A1 Smith's banner in 1928, and kept marching along with Mr. Roosevelt. Daniel C. Roper of South Carolina, who will take Mr. Hoover's old post as commerce secretary, was a Hoovercrat in 1928. The only oldline Democrats of the type are Senators Hull, Walsh and Swanson—all erstwhile drys, incidentally. “Big Jim" Farley is the nearest to a representative of the oldfashioned, gas-house, urban Democracy of the northeast—of the kind that blooms on the “Sidewalks of New York.” The absence of party elders like Smith, John W. Davis, Albert C. Ritchie, James M. Cox, etc., is commented on wherever politicians gather. Society Life Means Little It is a peculiarly undemonstrative, unexcitable group—which may be an asset in these troublous times. The most ebbulient figure is bustling, hustling “Jim” Farley, and even he rarely raises his voice above a conversational tone. Senator Walsh’s falsetto often ■•reaches “high C” and cracks under legal strain or argument, but normally he is a mild sort of man. There seems to be no ripsnorters in the group, but there rarely are in cabinets. Social activity undoubtedly will ccjnt for little with these nine men a.id one woman. Mr. Roosevelt, for obvious reasons, is expected to reduce formal receptions to a minimum, though the White House probably will be the center of informal meetings with cabineteers and congressional members. Industrious, Conscientious It hardly is to be expected that they will make a happy, hilarious family, but it will be an industrious, conscientious group. Almost without exception—“ Jim” Farley being it again—they are a serious, studious breed. As postmaster-general, patronage distributor and political mechanic, Farley possesses the qualities needed for his special task in eminent degree. With the possible exception of Roper, none of the others can be classed as active, practical politicians. FARM BUREAU GROUP BACKS M'NUTT PLANS Governor Addresses Annu 1 Social and Educational Conference. Program of Governor Paul V. McNutt for reduction of governmental costs and a sales tax which agricultural interests believe will lift some of the tax load from land, have the approval of several hundred men and women attending sessions today of the third annual social and educational conference of the Indiana farm bureau. The meeting is being held at the Scverin. McNutt spoke at the session Monday, and from the meeting went to his office in the Gatehouse where he signed the sales tax measure. Speakers today we rn to include Lieutenant-Governor M. Clifford Townsend, who has been active in farm bureau work.

He Roars Like Tarzan! It’s So Terrifying! Fondles Lions, Too!

King of the Jungle Makes His Bow; Oh, Yes, He’s U. of S. C. Grad. BY A. J. LIEBLING Time* Staff Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—“ He is a wild boy, brought up in the jungle with lions,” the publicity man de- ■ dared, introducing the handsome ! young man who wore a snug-fitting brown suit and spats. “He is a great naked white giant. “When his brothers and sisters, the lions, fall into a pit he jumps in, too. So he is captured and brought to this country. Os course, he is more sympathetic with lions | than with people, but they hire a girl to educate him, and he goes for her—” “She has a calming effect upon me,” corrected Clarence 'Busted Crabbe, juggling a young lion in each hand. He’s Like Weissmuller Buster—the Clarence has been j soft-pedaled since he entered the I movies—is, like Johnny Weissmuller, an Olympic swimming champion. Hi won the 400-meter swim at Los Angeles last summer. Also, like Weissmuller, he stars in one of | those menagerie operas the big I companies are putting out, Paramour.t's “King of the Jungle,” which j opened here last week. “He becomes civilized,” explained the publicity man. “And then the lions break loose. So to save the girl he runs out and roars like he was a lion, too —and, of course, everything is hotsy-totsy.” Urged to roar like a great naked white giant who has been brought ! up with lions, Mr. Crabbe declined with charm, but firmness. More Like “Ugh” He consented to describe the roar, which he says is not at all like Weissmuller’s, but “more like ’ugh.’ ” At this point Mr. Crabbe put his I two savage brothers down on the floor, where they started biting the publicity’s man shoes, j “Their names are Bimbo and ; Bumbo, respectively,” said Mr Crabbe, “and we feed them on yolk of egg and milk with a tablespoon of cod liver oil every morning. They are six and a half weeks old.’’ Mr. Crabbe came East by plane, accompanied by Bimbo, Bumbo, and a bottle of cod liver oil. He will make personal appearances with the picture, but will not swim in a litr tie tank, like Mr. Weissmuller, because he w'ants people to think of him as an actor, not a swimmer. He Swims Ashore He does some swimming in the i picture, he admits, but only as part of the plot. “You see, when they bring me j here from Africa. I am in a cage j with my brothers,” he related. "A ! customs man takes me out of the cage, thinking it is a publicity gag ! for the circus. “I jump overboard and swim ashore.” “What stroke does the wild boy swim?” “My regular stroke,” Mr. Crabbe admitted with a grin. This is about as primordial as contract bridge. Won’t Register Lions The Waldorf-Astoria would not permit Mr. Crabbe to register with the lions, even with baggage. Neither would the Astor, although a big game hunter-lecturer was en-1 camped on the roof of the latter hostelry at last reports, affording ample protection. The Park Central finally admitted the lions to the basement and Mr. Crabbe to a room and bath. Three hundred athletes were considered for the role, according to Mr. Crabbe. Everybody at the Olympics took screen tests, from hammer throwers to United Press correspondents. “If they had chosen a foreign athlete, they’would have had to keep him wild all through the picture,” said the swir uing champion, “so he would not have to say anything.” The king of the jungle was graduated from the University of Southern California a year ago. CENTRAL AVE. PAVING HEARING IS DELAYED Residents Plead for Postponement of Improvements. Public hearing on a resolution calling for the resurfacing of Central avenue between Thiry-fourth and Thirty-eighth streets was postponed for two weeks by the works board Monday. A group of residents in the neighborhood were represented at rhe meeting by Thomas McGee, attorney, who asked for a delay of six months in the improvement, j Demand also was made for regj ulating the bus lines now operating j on the street and establishing it as I a thoroughfare for limited travel. No action, except the postpone- ! ment was taken by the board. POPE SEES FIRST TALKIE Pontiff Is “Star” in One of Two Films Shown at Screening. , l>!< I'liilcd Press VATICAN CITY. Feb. 28—Pope Pius XI saw a sound motion picture Monday for the first time, and had the unusual pleasure of seeing himself as the “star” of the piece. Seated in the apparatus room of the Vatican City radio station, the pope saw two talkies. The first reproduced his own speech before sound film cameras at the inauguration of the ultra-short wave station here Feb. 11. The second was a sound film of scenes in the United States and the American public listening to the pope’s speech inaugurating the Vatican's wireless station last spring. y d .u Need A Tonic? !\.f ANY folks ivl have thin, pale 4 M blood —they’re weak, RKt m susceptible to colds. ■ . 9 tec ' t ' rc d> logy and II —l, J dull.

City Doctors Find Cure for Strychnine Poisoning

Sleeping Potion Employed Successfully in Cases by Three Physicians. E.y Science Service Strychnine poisoning may be cured by two modern sleeping potions, it appears from a report to the American Medical Association. Successful use of these two medicines in eleven cases is described by Drs. G. F. Kempf, J. T. C. McCallum, and L. G. Zerfas of the Lilly Laboratory for Clinical Research, the Indianapolis city hospital, and the Indiana University School of Medicine. The two modern medicines are isoamylethylbarbiturate, sometimes called sodium amytal for short, and sodium pentobarbitol. They are known to induce sleep in restless, suffering patients. Directions for their use in strychnine poisoning are given by the Indianapolis doctors in the current issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. Ordinarily, poisoning of any kind is treated by emptying the stomach and preventing the absorption of the poison into the system. Because strychnine is absorbed very quickly, these measures usually are unsuccessful, and treatment must be directed at counteracting the effects of the poison on the system. Many drugs have been used for this purpose, but have not been satisfactory. Doctors have been searching for an antidote that would control the convulsions, get the poisons out of the body, and supply EDWIN FINNEY, CITY BUSINESS MAN, DEAD Associated With Local Firms for Over 50 Years. Edwin Finney, a business man in Indianapolis for more than fifty years, died Monday in his home, 15 Hampton drive. Mr. Finney was associated with the D P. Erwin Company and later with the Havens & Geddes Cos., wholesale dry goods firm, until four ; years ago, when he became affiliated with the Walter White Company, realtors.

oxygen, so that the patient does not suffocate. Death in strychnine poisoning is due either to exhaustion or to suffocation, the Indianapolis physicians explained. The difficulty with most of the older antidotes for strychnine is that, if much strychnine has been taken, the amount of the antidote necessary to counteract its effects would be fatal in itself. The two drugs used by the Indianapolis doctors seem to avoid this difficulty, as they may be given in large doses without bad effect. They stopped the convulsions promptly and generally put the patient to sleep, but without interfering with his breathing. The drugs usually were injected into a vein, but are also effective when given by mouth, it was found. Strychnine poisoning is not only agonizing and commonly fatal, but rather frequent. During 1926, 1927 and 1928 it was the cause of more than three deaths a week in the United States death registration area.

ACQUITTED BY JURY; ORDERED TO PRISON Judge Refuses to Free Man, Once Insane. By Times Special GREENFIELD. Ind., Feb. 28. Charles J. Schmitt, 33, accused slayer of August Spilker of Gem, will be returned to the state hospital for the criminal insane. Schmitt, brought here for trial several weeks ago, was acquitted by a jury on grounds that he was insane at the time of the murder nine years ago. He had been pronounced cured by prison physicians, but Judge Arthur A. Van Duyn ordered him returned Monday. Van Duyn said he did not feel justified in freeing Schmitt, who may be liable to attacks of his mental ailment.
