It Seems to Me HEYWOOD BROUN TJUBY LONG disappointed me. The Senator from Louisiana failed to live up to his advance billing when he appeared the other night at a small party of newspaper men and ex-ofTicials from the Department of Agriculture, in Washington. Naturallv not all the former key men from the tnple-A were present. I have said it was a small party. Tuey talked freely enough and I am not criticizing his economic or political ideas for the moment.

He was Ik low par as a picturesque figure and a master of quaint and violent language. I would give no many any palms for a profanity which consists of the mere reiteration of familiar phrases. And in blue idom Huey is pale as the colors of Columbia University. it is unwise to call a many a ohonev on th ebasis of a single meeting and it is posisble that certain beliefs of the Senator are altogether sincere and genuine. V is completely artificial. The man is playing a part and playing It very badly. Asa matter of fact, it is my notion that

the kingf.sh is not really as cheap and crass as he pretend* to mt Never hav el seen a man so horribly tousellcd by that old devil defense mechanism. a a a Just a Little Roy AT some point in his life Huey got the notion . that he must put up the tough guy front if he was to get anywhere in life. And so he struts and shouts and curses lest anvbodv discover the skeleton in his closet. Huey Long, deep in his heart, is not a kincfish. but a frail and a frightened puppy. Whatever his mentality his emotional development has been much retarded At times he seems like a high school sophomore show ing off before a younger brother. He four letters many of his nouns and vergs as one spying to a shocked audierc*. ‘‘See what a big boy am I" You even have the uneasy feeling that he mav dart out of the room at almost anv minute to go down behind the barn and smoke eomsilk. Hls passion for college football, and .n particular his private elevn at Louisiana State, is just another evidence of his infantilism. He can be in the very middle of an explanation of his share I'ie wealth ideas onl yto dart off into some explanation of the inefficiency of Biff Jones as a football coach. "You '•ee that leaves Henry Ford with just five million for himself—what did you say?—why all that fellow knew about football was keep your head down.’ 'Spin once and run.’ ' r hat was his iea of an attack—and in that wav everybody has his own homestead and when I say homes ead I mean the spoons and blankets too. Everythirg that makes for decent hvnie. And anybody that wunts to get $lO for his nickel can bet me that I don t scalp that old Jimv Farley." Please do not interpret me as saying that Huey Long is an insignificant figure in American public life. He is one of the most important men in the Senate todav and his power will grow greater before it grows less. If he decides to run on the Huey Long ticket for President in 1936 he will almost certainly rarry four or five states—in the South and the Southwest. mam He'll W reck His System of the Washington observers think he might do much better than that. There are those who believe that he would run prodigiously in the agricultural middle-west. Hue.v. himself, says that while he's not claiming New York state he would go through New York City "Like a ball of fire, yes sir, a ball of fire.*’ He bases this prediction on the fact that, my friends tell me the people in the picture houses always applaud when Huey Long is flashed on the screen. And Huey Long isn't just a picture. He throws in a talk. too. I hear they had to take Huey Long out f some of the picture houses. The people applauding me too much. The Senator from Louisiana is a combination of Penrod and Peck's bad boy. He is also the leading third party candidate for the Presidency of the United States. If you see anything inconsistent in that just go out and look at the average voter. The capital levy which Huey espouses seems to a great many of us a perfectly sound economic theory. The Senator has the oratorical skill to explain the plan in its simplest terms. And he can give it an emotional \erve. Norman Thomas suggested the same thing in 1932 and no one paid much attention. But Huey Long is a Norman Thomas who has been wired for torch songs. He will go quite a distance, this Huey, and not have very much fun. He is too shy and sensitive a person. He ought to stick to things such as wTiting anew college song for the University of Louisiana. This, by the way. is one of his recent accomplishments. He has the look of a poet. Maybe he is one. In the course of a few more years he will wreck his nervous system in trying to play the bounder. Come out from behind that blue smoke screen Huey Longfellow. I spotted you the first time.

Your Health -BV I>R. MORRIS FISHBEIX-

AMONG the most serious of the conditions which may affect the human eye is detachment of the retina. The retina is a tissue at the back of the eyeball, which apparently receives the images focused upon i bv the lens of the eye and passes them to the optic nerve, so that they will be suitably recorded bv the brain. Under certain circumstances, this tissue may become detached, which results promptly in loss of vision. Recently two New York investigators have discussed tht results of an operation performed in 150 cases for the cure of detachment of the retina. This operative procedure is a great advance in medical art. because previously there was thought to be no hope for such cases and most of them passed on to permanent blindness. This condition usually afflicts men slightly more than women, to the extent of about 60 per cent of males and 40 per cent of females. Usually it affects older rather than younger persons. ana CASES of detachment of the retina also are recorded in persons as old as 75. In a considerable number of cases, detachment of the retina seems to follow an injury of some sort. One case is reported in which the retina became detached following an attempt bv a rather elderly man to cure his headaches by vibrating his skull with an electrical vibrator. Most of the operative procedure now used involve application of chemical cauterizing substances, or else application of heat for purposes of cauterization. The subsequent scarring causes the retina acain to become attached to the field in which it should lie. a a a THE New York observers operated on 155 eyes. The condition was either improved or cured in 47.8 per cent, and failure resulted in 52.2 per cent. This obviously is a great advance over the previous situation in which blindness almost inevitably resulted from detachment ot the retina. Evru after successful operations, there was temporarily some impairment of the field of vision. The greater the amount of detachment of the retina, the les was the likelihood of complete recovery. More and more modem scientific surgery is findind opportunity to aid some of the intractable afflictions of mankind. Such diseases are pernicious anemia and Addison's disease, formerly invariably fatal, are now being brought under control. Because of the existence of cancer, surgeons have been able to remove successfully an entire lung or one-half of the brain. Operations performed upon the eyes are among the mo'V delicate of all procedures earned out by the modem surgeon, and yet today sight is being saved for a tremendous number of persons by use of these methods

CHAPTER TEN The Battle of Smolensk A REAL* battle was at last begun under the walls of Smolensk. The Emperor’s intention was to turn the left of the Russian aimies so as to cut them oft from Moscow and drive them back toward the Lower Pwina. Smolensk, a smiling town lying amphitheatre-wise on both banks of the Dnieper, was surrounded with a big brick wall reinforced bv turrets. Deep ravines covered it. Rafewski and Poskiowicz's resistance gave Doctorof time to hasten up. Ney. who led the attack. was supported by Davout and Poniatowski. Barclay sent reinforcements to his troops, but in the night of Aug. 17 and 18, he decided to evacuate the town, leaving it all aflame. In the early morning, Napoleon effected his entry. Smolensk the 18th of August, (1812) Mon amic. I am in Smolensk since this morning. I captured this town from the Russians after having killed 3000 of them and wounded or taken prisoner more than three times that number. My health is very good, the heat excessive. My affairs are going well. Sehwarzenberg has defeated the Russians 200 leagues from here. Nap. Mon amies. 1 have just received your letter of the 6th of August, it is cold in Paris, and here the heat is frightful. My affairs are going well, mv health is good, here I have be ‘n in camp and in action (?) every day. Adieu, mon amie, kiss my son, you must find him grown and intelligent, my Louise. Adieu ben mio. Nap. Smolensk, the 20th of August (1812) Smolensk was an important base, and a refuge to fall back upon. Here Napoleon appointed as governor a first-rate technician, who had published at Glogau, in 1807. his famous book, the “Fundamental Principles of the Art of War,” much admired by the Czar. And Jomini was loath to take an active part in the campaign against the forces of Alexander, whose aide-de-camp he had come near being. The delicate thought had occurred to Marie Louise of sending the Emperor the portrait of his son as a birthday present. Sne had instructed a privy councilor, Debonnaire de Cif, who was taking the ministers’ reports to the Emperor, to hand to him at the same time the miniature she had had painted, not by Isabey, but by Melle Ainiee Thibaut. The King of Rome was depicted astride a sheep. The miniature was kept by the Enperor to his dying day. Mon amie, I ha\t received a beautiful picture of <hi little king which Isabey sent me on Thursday (?) by my commissioner. I found it a good lik- ness and very beautiful. Kiss hiri for me twice. My health is very *,ood, my affairs are going well, the heat is excessive. Adio mio ben. Keep well and do not doubt your NAP. Smolensk, the 22nd of August (1812). a a a FOLLOWING upon the portrait of the son, two letters from the mother reached Smolensk in close succession. Mon amie. I have just reteived vour letter of the 10th of Aiigust. I am grieved to see that you have been three days without re 'eiving

-Ihc DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

X \ 7ASHINGTON. Feb. 23 —Some of the inner coterie have been whisW pering .nto the President's ear that he ought to crack down on the Senate What they would like to see him do is go before his radio audience some night and make a stirring appeal to the public to back him up in a demand that the chamber put an end to its rampaging and come to heel. The advice is definitely attractive.

The rebuff on the World Court, the weeks of wrangling in the Appropriations Committee over the work-relief bill, and the ominous threats against the Administration's banking measure have not only irritated the President, but made him uneasy about the entire congressional situation. House leaders have warned him that unless something was done to curb the Senate there was serious danec-r that the spirit of revolt woula spread to the House. But attractive as the suggestion is. it has several drawbacks. Chief among them is the fact that Roosevelt's Senate advisers are strongly against it. Wilson's tragic experience in trying to tame the chamber is still very fresh in their minds. Furthermore, as Senate leaders have emphasized at the White House. Democrats, not Republi cans. are causing all the trouble. So for the time being they are counselling patience and soft treading. an n THERE is a lot more behind A. F. of L. blasts against the Administration, than appears on the surface. Actually the labor leaders are not quite as miffed as they pretend to be. There is more than a little be-hind-the-scenes evidence that they are cannily exploiting the rift between them and the President in the hope of obtaining legislative concessions at this session of Congress. The big thing desired by the A. F of L. is enactment of the Wagner labor disputes bill. This measure, which would create a powerful, independent labor" relations board with potent en-

I send you my best wishes for a happy Saints day, I envy the happiness which I had last year of taking you for a walk among the beautiful illuminations of Trianon. and I learn with pleasure that you are well, that the little King amuses you and gives you many reasons to be satisfied, kiss him for me. Adieu, mon amie, love him who loves you well. Nap. Doroghoboys (Dorogobouje), the 26th morning (August, 1812). After Dorogobouje the army continued its advance toward Moscow; the Emperor with Murat, DDvout and Ney led the center, with Poniato' ski on the right, and the army of Italy on the left wing. Murat and his cavalry, supported by the Compans Division of Davout's army, followed up the pursuit energetically. In this hour of crisis the Emperor found in retrospection a moment's respite from his present

forcement provisions, was shelved last year at the behest of the Persident. So far this session he has given no indication of warming up to the bill. But having cracked down on labor by renewing the auto code and by signing the severely criticised cigaret cocfe, Roosevelt may possibly be persuaded that he should now do something for the unionites. This is one reason labor’s war drums are being so vigorously pounded. a a a r 'T'HE House Judiciary Committee is quietly preparing to launch a sweeping investigation of a number of Federal judges. On its confidential list of scrutiny is at least one Justice of the District of Columbia Supreme Court. The idea of an exhaustive inquiry of the'Federal bench is not new. When Mayor Fiorello*La Guardia retired from the House in 1933 he had spent several years gathering evidence and testimony against a number of jurists in various pans of the country. In addition, the Justice Department has made a number of secret investigations of Federal judges This data, reported to consist of more than 10.000 pages of written material, is now reposing in the custody of the United States Supreme Court. Chairman Hatton W. Sumners of the House Judiciary Committee has been urging a drastic reorganization of the Federal judiciary and is pressing the investigation plan with the idea that it will aid in obtaining the reform legislation he thinks necessary.

A stormy day had ended in a cloudless night, and the Trianons had been the scene of a splendid gala of music and dancing. The organizers of the fete had made the most of their opportunities; naturally picturesque, the lakes and islands of the park had, under their embellishment, acquired an increment of beauty. A play written by Alissan de Chazet and entitled “The Gardener of Schonbrunn” had been followed by a ballet at the Trianon Theater, in which the pick of the artists of the Opera had taken part. The gala had ended with cantatas by Paer, and a banquet. Now all was changed. Alone, the Empress wandered in the desolate avenue of the Trianon, seeking in vain upon the arid lawns, scorched by the blazing summer, some last faint traces of those better days, of happiness outlived. an a XTAPOLEON left Dorogobouje at 11 p. m. and arrived at the Chateau de Jaszkhowo, near the Slawkovo outpost, at 5 a. m. on Aug. 27th.

I COVER THE WORLD a a a a a a By William Philip Simms

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—1 t would be lacking both in courage and foresight for the world to drop lighter-than-air craft just because dirigibles have developed in Size faster than the training of the personnel to fly them. Ibis was the comment of one of the most experienced foreign attaches in Washington. For obvious reasons he must remain anonymous.

“I am convinced,” he said, “that heavier-than-air craft have a greater future than the lighter-than-air. But I see no reason why certain types of dirigibles, assigned to special service, should not prove extremely valuable. “Take the ‘blimp,” for example. The British found them highly useful during the World War for coast patrol work. Apparently that is how they came by their nickname. They were attached to the British lighter-than-air marine patrol—the B. L. M. P.— which the Tommies instinctively shortened to ‘blimp.’ “These blimps were about 150 to 180 feet long. They were non-

The fact that you were two or three days without receiving a courier should not have surprised you for we are far and are moving still farther away.

rigid. They carried crews of from two to four. Every American who crossed the channel between England and France, or the North Sea to Holland, Denmark or even to Bergen, surely recalls them on the look-out for U-boats. a a a “'T'HESE little dirigibles were JL able to hover, drift with the air currents and remain in the air for many hours without refueling. They could spot enemy submarines beneath the surface and give the alarm. That was largely their function. To this extent they were indeed ‘the eyes of the navy’ and of the merchant marine, too. “The other type—the rigid Zeppelins—did not play a vital role in the war. True, they raided London and other cities in Great Britain and along the French coast. But aside from the effect at first, they became less and less effective as defense against them improved. “Toward the end of the war it was virtually suicide for the Germans to fly over London. One raid over France ended in wholesale disaster. Several crashed in a single expedition. The weather did it. “Piecing these things together, it seems to me there is a valuable lesson. We might retrace our steps a little way and experiment more intensively with the blimp and improvements thereon. As we learn better how T to maneuver with these, we might go forward to bigger things. a a a “QOME of the nations of Europe have already abandoned lighter-than-air craft. That seems to me to be lacking in spirit.

Maybe we have attempted too much. With all their skill, the officers and men of the American Navy, like their brothers abroad, really know' comparatively little about dirigible handling. How could they? You don’t take a man with just a little experience in navigating a small yacht and make him the skipper of a transAtlantic liner like the Queen Mary. To be trusted with a job like that, a seaman must have a life-time of training. Where is there a man with a life-time of dirigible training?

Fair Enough WESMOMIB! IN plainer words than those of Charles E Hughes the United States government has elected to take a bath in the gold clause --mbarrassment, a common expedient among debtors who overstretch themselves in times of optimism. The process is also known as going through the rinser, with the difference. however, that in the bankruptcy courts the debtor is required to toss all his possessions on to the blanket to be apportioned among his creditors toward his owings.

There is also a provision that if the debtor, on being stripped down for concealed assets, is discovered to be wearing his wife's diamond rings on his toes he may be prosecuted and possibly sent to Alcatraz or Atlanta. This has been known to occur. In the case of the government's bath, however, it was obviously inexpedient to toss the assets on to the blanket and divvy up. At a forced sale, the Panama Canal, the Commerce Building, the Aquarium and the Navy would bring only nickel money and the country had an interest in the case which hap-

pened to be more important than a mere question of honesty. a a a Now It’s Baloney for Gold BUT. instead of saying that Uncle Sam was short in the reach and couldn't pay, the majority patrioacally took the rap and sought a round-about way to the conclusion that he didn't have to pay at least until he was willing and better able. It is no wonder then, that the majority judgment caused so much confusion, considering that the majority had the far more difficult task of trying to write out the damned spot. The minority, on the other hand. Justice Mcßeynolds speaking, had only to point to the damned spot and say, “But it's still there.” And sure as you are bom, there the damned spot is. Certainly, In all the editorial and other criticism which has been directed at Justice Mcßeynolds. nobody has yet undertaken to refute what he found in the bonds, the main objection being that he wasn't a good fellow. But it was no fault of his that the defendant over-promised and finally had to offer a settlement on the basis of baloney for gold. If it is just pals that are wanted on the Supreme Court bench, with a disposition to give a break to a good guy who is up against it but in there hustling the best he can to get along, there should also be established an official roster of the good guys who are entitled to these breaks, for the guidance of the honorable court. Under the existing scheme, however, the justices are supposed to call them exactly as they see them and the minority certainly saw precisely what any one else may see who can establish relations with a bond long enough to read the text. a a a Nothing Has Happened THE people on the gold side were bound to be in wrong sentimentally the moment they asked for their gold. There is a disposition to regard the man who wants his gold as a greedy, cruel being with cold and scrawny fingers chuckling over his hoard by the light of a candle in a miser's hut at night. The fact is, however, that people who bought gold bonds with their savings, people who bought insurance out of their earnings in an honest, frugal attempt to provide against their future find themselves on the gold side in large numbers and now find, also, that they can't collect what they were promised by their government. It took courage to decide either way with disaster freely predicted on both sides by experts who claim to know and no middle course open. Still, up to now no pain has set in. Justice Mcßeynolds took it a little too hard. The government is only the people and the people began repudiating a long time ago, even going so far one day as to drag a judge off his bench and lug him down a country road in lowa because he insisted that a mortage was a contract and had to be met.

Today s Science . BY DAVID DIETZ-

Cw FBM. an V has won almost twice as many Nobel 1 prizes as have the scientists of other nations, a study of the awards of this famous prize made by Prof. Harrison Hale of the University of Arkansas shows. It is significant, however, that Germany s great pre-eminence was rolled up in the days prior to the World War. Since then, England and the United States have been gaining in the number of Nobel prizes while Germany has been slipping. It is likewise significant that some of the German winners of the prize are Jews who no longer are welcome in Germany. Foremost in this category is Prof, Albert Einstein. Prof. Hale’s analysis shows that 145 awards have been made since the first ones in 1901. Os these, Germany has received 34, England 19, France 18Ms, the United States 16, Sweden lO’*, Switzerland 6 1 *, Holland 6 and Denmark 5 1 >. Where a prize w'as divided among two winners from different nations, Prof. Hale gives half a point to each nation, hence the fractions in the above list. Only one person ever has been awarded two prizes, Mme. Marie Curie. Incidentally, she was also the only woman to receive a prize in the sciences. a a a MME. CURIE won the prize in physics in 1903, sharing it with her husband, Pierre Curie, and with Prof. Henri Becquerel. In 1911, she won the prize, all by herself, in chemistry. Three women have won the prize in literature. They are Selma Lagerlof, Sweden, 1909; Grazia Deledda. Italy, 1906, and Sigrid Undset, Norway, 1928. Two women have won the peace prize—Baroness Bertha Von Suttner.
