HEATED BATTLE FOR LEADERSHIP OPENS IN HOUSE

Democratic Harmony Faces Threat in Struggle for Post. Jy United Pms WASHINGTON. Dec. 14—A knockdown drag-out fight for the House floor leadership developed today as k serious menace to Democratic party harmony in the next Congress. Sores left by the struggle between half a dozen leading aspirants may dd to the real difficulties in keeping the unruly majority, with its Inflation and bonus blocs, in hand. A North-South controversy, with sectional schism dangers arose with entrance of William Bankhead, (D., Ala), Rules Committee chairman into the race. The Tammany issue was another danger point. Mr. Bankhead, and three representatives from the industrial East, John J. O’Connor, N. Y., James W. Mead. N. Y., and John McCormack, Mass., loom as outstanding candidates. The Illinois delegation added to the preponderant support of Rep. Joseph W. Byrns <D., Tenn.) for Speaker last night when the state’s 21 votes were pledged to him at a Chicago meeting. Rep. O'Connor claimed today he had 72 votes assured outside of New York and Pennsylvania. Martin I. Kennedy <D., N. Y.), supporter of Rep. O'Connor, predicted nearly all of New York’s 29 votes would go for O’Connor, who already has been assured some Tammany support. Rep. McCormack is expected to have almost the solid support of New England Democrats. Mead forces claim he has strength in Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia. Domination of Southern Democrats on committee posts has brought demands that the leadership go North, but Rep. Bankhead is believed assured of support from several individual Northerners. At the same time he hopes for much of the solid South vote. Other candidates who will play a leading part in the fight include John Rankin (Miss.); Arthur Greenwood (Ind.), and possibly Clarence Lea (Cal.). The Democratic caucus to pick a Speaker and leader will be held Jan. 2, the day before Congress meets. It probably will not revise the caucus rule, providing for elimination of all candidates but the two leading in votes, after the first ballot.

Havelock Ellis

One of the surprises of the season in Christmas book buying is the new edition of Havelock Ellis’ “Psychology of Sex.” It is said with the publishing of this new and enlarged edition of this book that Mr. Ellis will write no more upon this subject. an* BY WALTER D. HICKMAN FOR the very ycung boy and girl who needs an elder person to read to him or her, I have found the ideal Christmas present. Modern science has been so developed in book making that the leading characters in “The Wizard of Oz” may come to life and waddle down a specially prepared runway as the original text of the Wizard is read aloud. Such a book is the Waddle Book edition of “The Wizard of Oz,” as published last Monday by Blue Ribbon Books, New York. It sells for $2. Here is a standard story book which contains characters that come out and walk. While some one reads the story, a child may set up the characters of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Woodman, Toto, the Wizard himself, and Dorothy and the Lion. In addition to the six Waddle these characters now emerge from the book and waddle down a scenic runway without the use of clockwork, rubber bands or any mechanical devices. In addition to the six Waddle characters, the book contains the complete original story of Dorothy’s adventures in the land of Oz with the Lion, the Wicked Witch, the Winged Monkeys, her dog Toto, alnd all the strange inhabitants of Fairyland. It is the finest of Christmas books for youngsters because of its novelty. Another Waddle book is The Mickey Mouse Waddle Book, which also is a masterpiece along the same lines, but it is the text with its national child appeal that makes “Oz” the more valuable of the two. n u IHAVE received several other new books that will make grand Christmas gifts for the very young boy or girl. Many children, nearly all of them, can not have pet chickens to look after like we older ones had on our grandmother’s farm. "The Young and Happy Rooster,” by Jane Gleason, published by Albert Whitman & Cos. ($1), is one of the happiest books a child can receive on Christmas. There the child will meet not only the young white rooster who lost his tail feathers, but Buster,

a dog, who loved to chew shoes, and a white cat and many others are present. The Whitman Cos has another interesting book for children in “Snipp. Sr.app. Snurr and the Buttered Bread,” which is the story of three little Swedish boys who already have become wellknown characters of fiction to thousands of boys and girls in this country. This one also sells for sl.

HAMMOND COMPANY GUARD IS MURDERED New Yorkers Suspected in Tailor Shop Slaying. By Unitrd Prrst HAMMOND, Ind., Dec. 14.—Police sought an explanation in New York today of the killing last night of Jeff Mason, strike guard at a new plant of the Carbide and Car-

bon Chemical Corp. in near-by Whiting. Three men, one armed with a machine gun and two with shotguns, shot Mason in a Hammond tailor shop without warning. The shop owner. Jacob Schmeltz, 60. was wounded dangerously. Mr. Schmeltz said Mason apparently recognized with fear the killers who followed him into the tailor shop and police assumed that he probably knew them in Brooklyn, N. Y., his home.
