KING BURIED IN ANCIENT CASTLE Subjects Throng Streets as Final Tribute Is Paid , Beloved Ruler. By railed Pres* WINDSOR. Jan. 28.—King George V was buried with his ancestors within th egray walls of Windsor Castle today while kings and queens and princes stood sorrowfully by and a great empire of 400.000,000 people almost literally stood still in mourning. The facilities of the British Broadcasting Corp. carried the simple Mineral services to the four corners of the earth. People on the Canadian prairies, the South African veldts and the islands of the West Indies heard the last rites for a well-loved monarch. The elaborate pageantry of the slate funeral procession from Westminster Hall through the streets of London and of Windsor ended in striking simplicity when the brief rite of the Church of England which is said over king and commoner alike was road by the Archbishop of Canterbury in St. George's Chapel here. The coffin then sank slowly out of sight into the vaults, leaving as the last earthly reminder of George V the great crown of England, the priceless Star of Africa gleaming in its setting, lying before the altar. The notes of the "last post” sounded outside the chapel and then the royal mourners stood for two minutes of silence before dispersing without any further formal procession. King Edward VIII and his mother. Queen Mary, left together by automobile. Since early morning the harrow crooked cobbled streets of Windsor J had been packed with the greatest crowd ever seen there.

The Bachelor Prince Who Became King —BY FRAZIER HUNT

fConvrizhr 1936. by Frazier Hunt. Published by arrangement with Harper and Brothers.) IKNOW of no man in the world who is such a complete contradiction as King Edward VIII of England. He is a true aristocrat, and yet 1 he has found and kept the common touch that is denied most men who ride in carriages of state. He looks upon himself as a dem- ! ocrat, yet he loves the ceremonial pageants of the last great court of the world. He has tremendous enthusiasm and eagerness, yet is often bored with the daily round of life. His income from his estates long has been more than 1*350.000 a year, yet he exercises strange frugalities and keeps a watchful eye on his household and business expense*.

me committee is to state mat it does not favor the use of a four-and-one-half-acre site south of Pleasant Run at the intersection of E. Washington-st and Pleasant j Run-blvd, purchased by the com- i missioners in 1928 for $30,700. It Has No Direct Approach The site is bounded by Pleasant Run Creek, railroad tracks and an alley, and there is no direct approach to it from either Pleasant I Run-blvd or E. Washington-st. There is no easily available north- ; and-south bus or street car transport,ation, and its topograph is such that it would be necessary to build a Z-shaped building, the report is to state. "The wisdom of erecting a building or buildings costing several hundred thousand dollars upon such a site offering such decided disadvantages and entailing additional expense, solely to preserve the investment is extremely questionable. The answer must depend in part upon the availability and cost of more suitable sites," the report is to say. Additional Units to Be Proposed The committee is to propose that by 1940 additional units be built to house the remaining two high school grades. Reasons given for the necessity of anew high school are: 1. Growing population of the district bounded by Sherman-dr, Nickel Plate Railroad tracks, Pros-pect-st and city limits. 2. Remote distance from other high schools serving this district increase danger of traffic accidents among these pupils and prevents parents from taking an active part in parent-teacher activities. __ 3. Congestion at Technical High School would be relieved. Curriculum to Be Outlined The report is to outline the type curriculum for the proposed school and recommend 18 teachers, one principal and a clerk be employed. In previous reports the committee has pointed out that the “overload" of pupils in four of the city’s six high schools is approximately 4600 and that $2,000,000 will be necessary to carry out a high school building program. The finance committee in its latest report urged the abandonment of the bond issuing type of financing and the adoption of a direct tax. pay-as-you-go plan.

WORK SPEEDED TO PAY BONUS; FUNDSHUNTED Application Blanks Ready for Mailing Today, Officials Say. TAX PROPOSALS STUDIED White House Action Awaited on 'Baby Bond’ Veterans’ Law. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.—Governmental machinery roared in full speed today to give veterans their bonus on June 15 and to force a decision on how the taxpayers shall pay the $2,237,000,000 bill. Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans’ administrator, said application blanks for the “baby” bond bonus already have been prepared and probably will go into the mails today.

The visitor is not long in this state before he becomes aware of Democratic Boss Tom Pendergast, who started out with a saloon on a precinct basis many years ago and now extends his sway over almost all of Missouri. Crossing the Mississippi and entering the state at St. Louis one hears of his influence there. But his political dynasty rose and has its nerve center here in Kansas City, where the boss lives. Few people here ever have seen Mr. Pendergast, for he operates in the background. But they might recognize him from his occasional photographs, for he is the caricature of the professional politician incarnate —a heavy-set gentleman a little below average height, with powerful shoulders, a hard-boiled visage, ample jowls, a cascade of chins to his collar button, and a paunch that apes a kettle drum. He is coming to national attention for two reasons: Because he probably will deliver Missouri for President Roosevelt in November, despite a rising tide of New Deal antagonism here; and because a (Turn to Page Two) MILK FARMERS PLAN NEW CO-OPERATIVE Independents Hear Feeney, Rebuke Heckler.

AAA REFUND ‘STEAL’—WALLACE; TALMADGE TOSSES HAT INTO RING; BITTER FIGHT RAGES ABOUT SMITH

Georgia Governor Tosses Hat in Ring on Eve of Rally. HOPES TO SPLIT SOUTH Outlines Speaking Tour in Drive to Defeat Roosevelt in ’36. (Copyriaht. 1936. bv United Press) MACON, Ga., Jan. 28.—Gov. Eugene Talmadge announced his candidacy for President of the United States today, and invited all discontented Democrats and Republicans to join him in an attempt to drive the New Deal out of power. The Governor's statement—the first open avowal of a presidential candidacy he has delivered—came in an intervew as he was preparing to rally the South against President Rosevelt at a convention of "constitutional Democrats" here tomorrow. Pushing his black hair out of his eyes. Gov. Talmadge said he would storm New England and the West on a speaking tour in an attempt to knit New Deal oppasition for the November election, Under what party label he will campaign still is undecided, the Governor said, but he will attempt to get either Senator William E. Borah, Idaho Republican, or former Gov. Joseph P. Ely of Massachusetts as vice presidential candidate on his ticket. Certain of 1,000.000 Votes "I can count on 1.000.000 votes in the South," Talmadge said, chewing vigorously at a cigar. “And you can take it from me that New England is as sick of this New Deal as I am.” "Do you mean you're ready to run for President?" Gov. Talmadge w : as asked. "Sure, any sane man is willing to do that, and I’m sane." Who would you like to have on the ticket with you?” "Borah w'ould be a good man. And that fellow Ely up in Massachusetts talks my language." Talmadge appeared unconcerned by the fact that Borah already is out for the Republican presidential nomination. The Governor believes the November election will splinter party lines, and he said he was willing to offer haven to persons of any and all political faiths so long as they “stick by the Constitution.” Hopes to Speak in New York. Talmadge, who has fought Mr. Roosevelt here in his adopted state, plans to carry the battle right up to the President's front door and deliver a speech in New York City—in Madison Square Garden if arrangements can be made. Already he is making up a crowded schedule of speaking engagements. He will swing up through the South, invade Illinois and later push out into the Rocky Mountain states and perhaps go as far as California. "The Roosevelt crowd can have any party name they want,” Gov. Talmadge said, opening up a bottle of soft drink and sipping. They're Socialists. It doesn't matter what my folks call themselves. Everybody know's we're Democrats —real Democrats.” Talmadge was asked w'hat course of action he was going to take when he opens his “grass roots” convention, to which delegates from 17 states have been invited. "I’m going to lay it on the New Deal good and thick,” he said. "The same way A1 Smith did up in Washington?” "Yes sir, that was a fine speech A1 Smith made.” 4 PERISH IN FARM FIRE Parents and Two Children Claimed in Oklahoma Tragedy. By United Press NORMAN.

Oscar Kelly Allen SUCCESSOR TO HUEY PASSES Louisiana Governor Taken at Baton Rouge by Hemorrhage. By 1 nilcd Pres* BATON ROUGE. La.. Jan. 28. Oscar Kelly Allen. 54-vear-old Governor of Louisiana and successor to the throne of the late dictator, Huey Pierce Long, died today of a cerebral hemorrhage. Death occurred less than a fortnight after Allen swept the Long faction into power for another four years. He was overwhelmingly nominated to the United States Senate seat vacated by Long's assassination. Allen died at the executive mansion at 10:40 a. m. Gov. Allen was nominated to the United States Senate to fill the unexpired term of the late Huey P. Long at last week’s Democratic primary. He planned to go to Washington immediately following the general election to be held in March with the avowed purpose of carrying on Senator Long’s feud with the national Administration. As result of his death. Lieut. Gov. James Noe of Monroe will become Governor and serve until May. At that time, Appellate Judge Richard W. Leche, who was nominated in the recent primary, will take over the office. The white-haired executive, who was 54, was at work in his office at the state Capitol yesterday, apparently in good health. At the executive mansion this morning, Mr. Allen rose at the usual hour and. after a leisurely breakfast, prepared to go to the Capitol. He was stricken before he left the mansion. Allen is survived by his wife and three children, a girl and two boys. MINE CHIEFS ASSAIL GREEN, NIGH COURT 1600 Hear Criticism in Report by Trimuyirate. Timm Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—United Mine Workers of America chieftains took a vigorous whack at Williarrt Green, American Federation of Labor president, today, and indirectly assailed the United States Supreme Court for declaring NRA unconstitutional. In a frank and occasionally bitter report to the thirty-fourth annual convention. President John L. Lewis. Vice President Philip Murray and Secretary Thomas Kennedy urged legislation curbing the court's powers and putting control of legislation on “a sounder basis and higher plane." The report, read to 1600 delegates in Constitution Hall, described the gains made for union coal diggers during the last few years, and criticised the social security legislation for not being generous enough. It took a particularly vigorous swat at Mr. Green, who has engaged in controversy with Lewis as to whether union organization should be on the basis of crafts aor industries. Green favors the former; Lewis the latter. The triumverate was particularly happy over wage contracts entered into during NRA, and the stoppage of "wholesale robbery" of the diggers, through installation of checkweighmen at most shafts “Whilst the mine workers have improved their lot the operators have also improved theirs,” the report said. The leaders explained their reasons for favoring the Black 30-hour-week bill and told how they had tried to make the social security legislation of the New Deal more generous, particularly to the aged.

Joe Robinson Ready to Fire Administration’s Most Scorching Blast. SENATOR TALKS TONIGHT New Yorker’s Attack on Federal Finances to Be Answered. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. By the time Senator Joseph T. Robinson finishes with A1 Smith tonight scarcely an assertion of Al’s Liberty League speech is expected to stand unchallenged. For two days Democrats havp been battering away at it. The accuracy of his assertions has been questioned, and old speeches have been quoted to show how his views have changed a few years. Mr. Robinson's assignment is to finish the job. On Federal finance Mr. Smith has laid himself open particularly, according to New Deal fiscal experts. "The ordinary cost (of government)—over and above all emergencies—is greater today than it has ever been in any time in the history of the republic.” he said. Fiscal Budget Lower Budget figures show tnat the ordinary departments of the government are costing $4,122,737,151 in the present fiscal year. In 1932, last Hoover year, the ordinary departments cost 84.506,590.305. Mr. Smith charged that. President Roosevelt failed to reduce the cost of government 25 per cent as the Democratic platform promised. Budget figures show that the firs) Roosvalt budget cut expenses of the ordinary departments more than 25 per cent. Leaving out the two billion dollar stabilization fund item—created by devaluation of the gold dollar—the cost of ordinary departments in 1934 was $3,239,590,073. If a reduction of just 25 per cent had been made under the last Hoover year, the total would have been $3,379,942,729. Emergency expenditures are left out of this calculation in the Hoover budget totals as well as in those of Roosevelt. Campaign Talk Spreads Times Speeial WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.—Burly President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers and Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes turned the heat of political invective against Alfred E. Smith today as presidential campaigning spread across the nation. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Ickes. two of the sharpest tongued New Deal spokesmen, flung caustic jabs at the former New York Governor for his American Liberty League address. Lewis left no doubt that he was holding his powerful organization of 600.990 coal miners steadfast behind the New Deal—a factor expected to weigh heavily in states where the union musters many thousand votes. Mr. Ickes piled on more harsh words, forecasting that liberal Republican votes w'ould balance any loss to the New' Deal of conservative Democratic support. Borah Speaks Tonight Against the background of this barrage, new political events were in the making. Senator William E. Borah (R.. Idaho) will fire the first Eastern blast in an expected campaign for the Republican presidential nomination at Brooklyn, N. Y.. tonight. Gov. Alf Landon speaks tomorrow at Topeka. His hat. too. is at least unofficially in the Republican ring. Tonight Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson will deliver an official Democratic response to Smith's attack. And tomorrow Gov. Eugene Talmadge will gather with a group of anti-New Deal leaders for a rally at Macon. Ga. Ewfing Y. Mitchell. President Roosevelt’s 1932 preconvention manager in Missouri and recently ousted assistant Secretary of Commerce. attacked the New Deal in Macon today. He charged "this country under the New Deal is fast drifting into the methods of Fascism.” and that "no one is permitted to be heard in official circles who has the temerity to criticise the New Deal.” Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson will reply to Smith tonight over a national radio hookup. Robinson was Smith's running mate when the latter was the Democracy’s presidential nominee in 1928. * Colby Enters Attack Bainbridge Colby. Secretary of State under President Wilson, attacked the New Deal before the Women’s Patriotic Conference on National Defense. He charged New Dealers "arc resorting to a conspiracy to nullify the Constitution, knowing only too well that the people will not support their evil purposes and designs by amending it. ’ He said liberty-destroying laws are “crowded through the legislative branch of the government by executive coercion and the use of favor and patronage that amounts to moral bribery." Smith was silent in New York. He refused to expand his reference to a convention walk-out.

‘Revolution Will Come.’ Is Cry in House While Secretary Speaks. HIGH COURT UNDER FIRE Democrats Pump Hand of Texan After Blast at Justices. Rh I hit erf Prr&n WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. A warning that “revolution will come" unless laws are adjusted to meet economic change sounded from the House floor this afternoon coincident with a scathing attack hv Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace on the recent Supreme Court decision on processing taxes. Rep. G. H. Crass, stoop-shoul-dered. gray-haired Texas Democrat, stirred the House with a plea for Congress to "unshackle itself” by curbing the powers of the nation's high tribunal. “Action is necessary.” he said, “to prevent one branch of the government from embezzling the powers of another. "The laws must be changed to fit the economic and social changes of the nation or a revolution will come.” Many Democrats rushed to congra:ulate the Texan as he concluded his attack. Charges Law Was Ignored Meanwhile Secretary Wallace was lashing at “probably the greatest, legalized steal in American history” in connection with the court's order for return of $200,000,000 of processing taxes to processors as result of the AAA dec’Mon. Renewing an earlier attack on the Supreme Court’s decision ordering return of the disputed taxes. Mr. Wallace again charged that th# court's decision "ignored" an act of Congress dtrreeing that processors, to collect the taxes, must show they did not pass on the levies. Mr. Wallace asserted that the court, by this action had returned to the processors money which belonged to the entire country. "Doesn't Make Sense” "To the mind trained in legalisms, this may be perfectly all right,” Mr. Wallace said, "but to the layman, it doesn't make sense. "In the Hoosac Mills case, the Supreme Court disapproved the idea, that the government could take money from one group for the benefit of 4,he other. “Yet in turning over to the processors this $200,000,000 which came from al] the people, we are seeing the most flagrant, example nf expropriation for the benefit of one small group. ‘‘This is probably the greater* legalized steal in American history” Mr. Wallace asserted that the S2OO 000.000 "already had been collected from the public as processin* taxes.” Claims Consumers Paid It "The processors didn't bear the tax." he said, "they passed it on to the consumers in the form of higher prices or. as the packers contended in the case o fhogs, back to the farmer in the form of lower hog prices. “Doubtless every one in this audience paid part of that $200.000.000 in the form of higher price# for flour, bacon and cotton goods, or in the form of lower market prices received for hogs. "Congress was aware of that, and last summer decreed that no processor was entitled to a refund unless he could prove that he had absorbed the tax himself. This point, however, the Supreme Court ignored when it decided the rice millers case Jan. 13." U. S. NAVY BOYCOTTS WOMEN’S CONFERENCE High Officer* Cancel Talk; After Speech by Colby.
