Munitions Makers Can Be Quelled Women, as Chief Buyers of Goods, Possess Strong Weapon. BY ESTELLE M. STERNBERGER Eirrgtlit Director. World Peaeewari.. MILLIONS of mothers througnout the United States were electrified by Father Coughlin’s fiery denunciation of the du Ponts. He lifted a load from their hearts when he made them realize that the du Fonts were vulnerable and that their empire, built on the profits from the ghastly World War, could be brought low. The du Ponts have spread around more ammunition than Father Couchlin. even if he were reinforced by an army of orators, could possibly handle—the sort of ammuni- ... that the du Ponts never intended for -export or domestic distribution. It was a du Pont byproduct. That is where the rub comes. Too many of the things that the du Ponts have perpetrated are byproducts. The vision of their directing geniuses has been altogether one-sided—on the side of expansion and profits. The high-salaried directors have lost sight of the people. Millions of mothers, and not the army contractors, have helped the du Ponts multiply their millions. The du Ponts have overlooked these mothers in the years since 1918. What they have considered unimportant has turned out to be more vital to the defense of our democracy than all the munitions secrets they have been developing or ascertaining in their international munitions trade, those in war periods and that their peacetime profits are greater than those in war periodds and that their munitions business proper makes up less than 2 per cent of their income today. They claim that their profits in recent years, in peacetime activities, have averaged above those of the war years. War Profits Laid Foundation From 1915 to 1918 practically all of their enormous annual total was made up of munitions—before their ; present industries were built up. Tremendous war profits, in spite of excess profits taxation, laid the foundation for the present non-mil-itary industries of the du Ponts. The du Ponts know only too well that the goose that laid the golden cgc> can do the trick again. The present humility of the du Fonts dates from the passage of the Nye-Vandenberg resolution by the United States Senate for the investigation of the arms traffic. The war ended in 1918. but in 1926. eight years later, the du Ponts had salesmen in Europe trying to gain contracts for their products, from Turkey and other governments. Whatever the reasons of the du Ponts were, millions of mothers knew that they would some day have to pay a price for the du Pont success —their sons would be blown off this earth by du Pont munitions in the hands of enemy gunners. Will the du Ponts tell the mothers of the United States what they purpose to do with the huge profits they might earn out of sales during a possible Russo-Japanese war or a French. Italian, German and English scramble over opportunities in Africa? One more huge war and the du Ponts will become an uncontrollable financial power in the life of our democracy by the grace of foreign governments’ war follies. C laws Must Be Clipped The du Ponts and others of their sort must have their claws clipped. There is too much noise about curbing the profits of these “home guard” industrialists in a war involving the United States. Every one fails to hear the warning cry of the one who askss ’ What about the du Pont's profits in wars that find us neutral?” Are those profits any less dangerous to the dejnocratic development of a country that seeks to “proclaim liberty throughout the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof?” Do the du Ponts have that type of liberty in mind when they subscribe to the support of the American Lib- j erty League? What 1 have expressed about the du Ponts applies with equal justice; to all munitions manufacturers. The public should not be permitted to lose sight of the fact that there are other individuals and families that s are making millions out of the mu- i mtions business. The du Ponts are showing some signs of yielding to the supreme will of the public. But the mothers ! of America and of the world must; not be led astray from duty by one penitent. They must keep up their j attack until every munitions manu- 1 facturer shows not only the same penitent tendency, but also signs of a complete surrender of their dangerous business.

She becomes a clerk In a secondhard boo< store, sharing an apartment with Bhella Davis NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY-ONE DURING the long, lonely weeks Ann was tempted more than once to call Sarah. She had wanted to slip into the church to see Sarah and Mac married, but had been afraid to risk it. No. she must not see Sarah. Not until after Peter’s marriage. Then perhaps she could go back and pick up the threads of the old life again and weave for herself a pattern of security and peace. “A young man came in to buy a book from you.” Prof. Barber told Ann one day when she returned from lunch. He was smiling broadly. “A young man?” Anrr questioned, trying not to let excitement show in her voice. Her heart began to beat furiously. “Was he tall?” “Yes. A tall young man.” Prof. Barbers faded blue eyes, under bushy brows, beamed at her. “So anxious he was too.” Peter—but it might not be Peter? “Was his hair light or dark?” Ann was very busy all at once, putting her books back in their places. “How should I know? With the shop so dark and my eyes not so good as they once were. But a very handsome young man, I could see.” Mrs. Barber had come into the room. “I think his hair was very dark, father. He was a scholar, perhaps. He wanted to find Gibbons’ ■Rise and all.’ But when father

could not lay his hands on it, he bought ‘Sartor Resartus,’ and seemed just as satisfied. Father gave him your address at home.” No. It could not be Peter, this young man who wanted the “Rise and Fall.” It sounded more like Tony. Ts Tony had located her, he must be pledged to secrecy. He must be made to see how much it would hurt her ifi he revealed her hiding place. Ann half expected Tony to cal: as she prepared supper. She wanted to see him because she was lonely and the dull evenings shut within the cheap little apartment were getting on her nerves. But she dreaded seeing him, -too. Tony was always difficult and it might be hard to convince him that there was only friendship for him now in her heart. She could not tell him she loved Peter. How scornful he would be if he knew she had given her heart to a man who cared nothing for her. a a a SHEILA would come in presently. Sheila would eat and go out with Jimmy Matthews, the friendly voung man who looked like a prizefighter but did nothing more exciting than work in the shipping department of a wholesale store. Ann suspected Sheila and Jimmy were much in love, though Sheila ridiculed the idea. “Marry Jimmy!” she had said. “Gracious, you don’t think I intend to be poor all my days, do you? Don’t you think I have lived in this town long enough to have acquired some sense? I wouldn’t look at’Jimmy. There’s a floorwalker at the store- who has it all over him. Got a bungalow paid for. He could double for Ramon Novarro, has nice black hair, smooth and shiny-7-not stubby and hard to keep down like Jimmy's. What do you think I am, anyway, marrying an Irishman who drives a secondhand car?” After this outburst Ann stopped speculating. But she was not convinced. Sheila brought the newspaper home every night. Jimmy read it first and then met her on the corner after work and gave it to her. Sheila was slipping the key in the door now. She came in, dropped

i her coat on a chair, kicked off her | pumps and thr?w herself down on ; the couch in tie tiny living room. The couch opened up at night to ! become a not too-comfortable bed. “Gosh, I'm dead. My feet hurt so I can't stand up. I hope I never ! see another Founder’s Day sale.” “Many people?” “Millions! A lot came in just as 1 was getting ready to leave and plowed through the table tapes- | tries. I had to straighten them again. And then, with my feet killing me, some fresh gay on the car tramped all over them when he couldn’t get my attention any other way. What a world! I’ll be out to help you in a minute, Ann.” “I don’t need you. Everything is about ready. We have steak and some hot soup—l stopped by a restaurant and brought it home in a carton. I baked some apples, too.” “Sounds swell. Sure you don’t need help?” “Positive. Supper’s ready to be dished up.” “You're a swell kid, Ann. I can’t understand how you’ve slipped by the marriage bureau so long. Did you have a bust with your boy friend?” “Something like that,” Ann said, in a muffled voice. ana SHEILA thought it was too bad - about Ann who had contrived, with all her good looks, to get no farther than the old bookstore and this makeshift apartment. If Sheila had to work all day like Anr ride the street cars and never go anywhere she would probably jump in the river. She voiced her thoughts, “I’d jump off a bridge if I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life working at Staub & Stein's. But I’m not.” “Os course you won’t,” Ann said. “Some day you’ll marry.” “Yes, that’s what I meant.” There was something in Sheila’s voice, a happy note that had not been there before. - “Sheila! Don’t tell me you’re getting married?” “Yes.” “The nice floorwalker?” “Well, I should say not. What ever made you think I’d marry that old crab? I wouldn’t have, him on a bet.” Ann smiled. “It must be Jimmy.” “Well, of course.” Sheila waited for this to sink in, and then continued, “Oh, Ann, we’re going to have the cutest flat with a real bedroom and a kitchen—not a kitchenette. And Jimmy’s friend did a grand paint job on the car. And Jimmy’s had a raise. I’m so happy I don’t really mind anything. Not even Founder’s day.” “I’m glad for you,” Ann said. “Jimmy’s a nice boy. When are you planning to marry?” “About Christmas. Christmas would be a fine time, don’t' you think? We sort of thought of marrying on Christmas day. Have you ever heard of anybody marrying on Christmas day? The question caught Ann unprepared. After a moment she said, trying to control her voice, “Yes, Sheila, I have.” She was remembering last Christmas, coming out of the parsonage with Peter. She turned and went back into the kitchenette, mechanically putting china on the table. a a a SHEILA'S animated conversation flowed in to her. “Think of having a living room, a bedroom and a kitchen. There’s a tiled bath, too, Ann. And Jimmy’s mother has broken up housekeeping and gone to her daughter’s and she is going to give us enough to furnish one room. We'll buy everything else on installments. I’ve some things in the ‘lay-away.’ The ‘lay-away's’ just a working girl’s heaven, if you ask me. All my things will be paid for by Christmas.” “Are some blue-checked aprons laid away?” “How did you know?” “I guess every girl wants bluechecked aprons to wear in her kitchen.” There was a wistful note in Ann’s voice. “I couldn't resist them. They were on sale, marked to 49 cents. Ann, I’m so happy! Jimmy’s not so much to look at but I like everything about him, even his big hands and freckles. Ain’t love grand!” She was ruffling the pages of the newspaper. After dinner Ann would take the newspaper and turn to the legal statistics. They held a strange fascination for her. She would read them fearfully, half expecting to see an announcement that Peter had filed suit for divorce on ground of desertion. It was like a reprieve —each time she failed to find it. Now that Peter and Valeria were furnishing a home there could be no doubt that the time was near when he would be seeking a divorce. Perhaps the dark-haired young man had been a lawyer who had come to suggest a settlement and see how she felt about Peter getting his divorce. Sheila was saying, “I wouldn’t exchange my Jimmy for anybody—not

City Author Speaks for Press Club Mrs. Harding Describes Steps Leading to Writing Book. With the accent of a talented | linguist, with dynamite sentences 1 and with a charming enthusiasm, ; Mrs. Bertita Leonarz Harding yes- ! terday told the assembled members of the Woman's Press Club of Ini diana how her novel, “Phantom j Crown,” happened. Mrs. Harding feels that the book wrote itself, “for if you have something to say and are bursting to say it, nothing can stop you.” It was her manifest destiny to write of Maximilian and Carlotta, she confided. She never planned to be a writer; she was trained to be a pianist, and admitted it was rather a disappointment to her family that she became sidetracked and wrote a book. From the mouths of servants she gained the food for her imagination and became acquainted with the theme. The material was vague, she admitted, but it gave her an unconscious start. The adies-in-waiting to Carlotta in their gossip revealed vestiges of the court life that surrounded the empress and the third source the author described came in 1909 when she accompanied her mother to Austria on a mission for Emperor Franz Joseph. After a student’s life at Sacre Couer convent and the assembling of facts with fancy it was brought to her realization that she was practically the only living person with any direct association with the story of Maximilian. Meeting the great in the world of letters, in her opinon, is the reward of authorship. At the monthly luncheon session of the Press group at the Indianapolis Athletic Club, Mrs. John Mitchell, historian, Greenfield, submitted a scrapbooi of clippings and pictures concerning the history of the club. The club will dedicate Sears, Roebuck & Co.’s new social center for women with a guest bridge-tea Jan. 18. Mrs. William M. Herschell was named arrangements chairman, to be assisted by Mrs. Blanche Foster Boruff, Bedford; Mrs. Edward C. Toner. Anderson; Mrs. Merle B. Kist, Portland; Mrs. E. E. Neal, Noblesville; Mrs. John F. Mitchell, Greenfield; Mrs. R. B. Pickard, Danville; Mrs. Luther Williams, Mrs. Mary Louise Myers, Mrs. Florence Webster Long and Mrs. Beatrice Burgan Wilde. Indac Juniors to Organize at Athletic Club Sons and daughters of Indianapolis Athletic Club members will meet at the club tomorrow to organize a group to be known as Indac Juniors. Officers will be elected at the meeting and the group will sponsor its own social and athletic events in the future. A club supervisor also will be named to assist the group. The tentative age limits will be between 12 and 20 years. A number of bridge events take a conspicuous place on the athletic club’s coming event list. Edward C. Wolfe, New York, will be guest player and lecturer at the regular din-ner-bridge party in the Green room at the club tonight. Mrs. Grace C. Bushmann is chairman of hostesses. Another regular party scheduled is a luncheon and bridge event. Jan. 15. Other events will be the World Bridge Olympic play Feb. 1 under Mrs. Buschmann’s direction; the state contract tourney, Feb. 15, 16, and 17; the club’s ninth annual national inter-club tourney and the United States Bridge Association city pair and team championships play in April. MRS. HARDING WILL BE CLUB HOSTESS Mrs. Bertita Leonarz Harding will be hostess tonight for a meeting of the Spanish Club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Staley, 3621 Guil- ' ford-av. Juan Ramos, Frankfort, will describe Cuba in Spanish and Mrs. Inez Samper and Miss Adelaide Conte will sing Spanish songs. !Mrs. Harding will recite Spanish poetry. even for this Peter Kendall with all his money!” “What did you say?” Ann, her face very white, stood in the doorway. “I was saying I wouldn’t swap Jimmy for this millionaire fellow. For crying out loud—look what he’s doing now!” (To Be Continued)

HUEY'S ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT FIRESSENATE President’s Backers Debate Need of Answering Abusive Speech. BY THOMAS 1.. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 9—Senator Huey P. Long had Administration leaders in the Senate in a quandary today. Their dilemma was whether to give the Louisiana Senator the "silent treatment” or to answer one of the most vicious attacks on an Administration. and its Chief Executive, that ever resounded in the Senate chamber. No one raised a voice of protest Monday when he delivered his defiance of the Administration —striding up and down, shouting and swinging his arms like a windmill. The task of replying would fall naturally upon Senator Joseph T. Robinson, the majority leader, and ! it was intimated that when the • Senate reconvenes tomorrow the j Arkansan’s booming voice might be ! heard on behalf of the Adminritra- ■ t’on. Some Sena, irs suggested that their Louisiana colleague had stepped beyond bounds, had forged a boomerang for himself, when he | charged a connection existed between a red light district in New Orleans “16 squares long and 18 squares wide” and a realty firm | comprising persons who dispense 1 Administration patronage in Louisiana. Build Up for 1936 Race Some senators did not see how the Long attack could go unanswered. Others asked, resignedly, what good it w'ould do, since it only would provoke the Kingfish to further abusiveness and magnify him to an importance they think he does not deserve. They advocated the silent treatment. One prominent senator professed *to see in Long's speech, in which he dared the Government to indict him on income tax charges, a possible build-up for just such an event. This, he inferred, was behind Long's stinging attack on key figures of the Administration, his charge that the New Deal had deserted the common people, his reference to withholding of PWA funds. Long, this senator thought, wants to pose as a martyr if he is haled into courts. Others saw him launching a crusade to rally support for his Presidential aspirations. They said he must be taken seriously because of the attraction of his share-the-wealth issue. But v'ho is to undertake the job of tackling this man to whom senatorial courtesy means nothing, his colleagues asked each other. Few can be found who want to match speeches with him. No one stood up to do this yesterday. Scores New Deal Policy Long cut himself completely frea from all Administration ties. Boldly he excused his dictatorial activities in his owm state on the ground that he was taking from the rich to improve the poor. This, he said, is w T hat he thought the Roosevelt Administration was going to do, but instead, he declared, “the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is getting fewer and fewer.” The Senator packed them in for his advertised speech yesterday. Every gallery seat was taken and a long line waited outside. House members stood along the back wall. Unnoticed yesterday was a telegraphic plea to Vice President Garner from a minister in Louisiana asking that the New Orleans women who sought Senator Long’s ouster last session be permitted to present their case again. The Vice President referred it to the Privileges and Elections Committee. A repetition of Senator Long’* performance of yesterday may won support for this and similar pleas.
