Times Special ‘WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.— The story was told toaay of how a brother of Raymond Moley, Roosevelt “braintruster” who turned New Deal critic, has been kicked out of his $2700-a-year job as postmaster

good favor at the White House. Book Completes Breach

The breach between Raymond |. Moley, a native of Berea, and the New Deal became complete recently | upon publication of his book, “After |:

Seven Years,” which disclosed in-

Today it developed that the Postoffice Department had made an examination of Mr. Moley’s conduct of the office and, in a report by Assistant Postmaster General Wil-

liam W. Howes, had accused the|

postmaster of “neglect of duty” and “serious lack of interest.” In view of these findings, the department said Mr. Moley “should not be considered for reappointment.” : ° Mr. Moley was informed that he would not be permitted to take a non-competitive examination and was given to understand that he would not be considered if he entered the competitive test.

Years Away,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (U. P.) — The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics believes that the 500-mile-an-hour sub-stratosphere airplane is only two years distant.

The Committee said that air developments are proceeding at an unprecedented rate under the spur of the European war. It revealed that top airplane speeds have jumped 100 miles an hour in the past year and repeated that the United States must expand its air research to keep abreast of world developments. Dr. Vanhevar Bush, chairman of the committee, .told a House appropriations sub-committee that the immediate future of aviation development is “crucial” The subcommittee. published his testimony today. “Airplanes have now reached speeds of 400 miles per hour, with 500 miles per hour considered likely within the next two years,” he said. “Present knowledge points to the fact that 500 miles an hour and

higher is easily within the realm of

Dr. Bush testified that development of “increased engine power output at an altitude of above 30,000 feet is of extreme importance to the military services,” and that it is imperative for the NACA to expand its engine-research program. He said the NACA has a research program underway to develop a pri-vate-owner type plane “that will have a greater inherent safety in that it will be spinproof” and that by next year there will be a number of them available.

U. S. WATCHING MOVES OF NEW

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ° Times Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, - Jan. 16.—The urprise appointment of Admiral

‘| Mitsumasa Yonai as premier of .|Japan in place of Gen. Nobuyuki | Abe, who resigned over the week‘lend, is regarded here as a hopeful

ign. : It had been widely reported that

‘| the reactionary Army clique which :|has been dominant in Japan for

a decade would insist on

Much significance, therefore, is attached to the sudden switchover

'|to an Admiral. Just as the Japanese

Army is traditionally and narrowly

Further enhancing this impression is the conviction that the Emperor himself, on the advice of Prince Saionji, the Liberal 90-year-old elder statesman and last of the famed Genro, in the crisis.

May Have Effect in U. S.

The indications, therefore, are that this ‘latest move in Tokyo

not only in the Far East but in the United States and Europe as well. It may even mean that the Sino-Japanese conflict is nearing a climax and that the differences between Japan and the United States are coming to a head. For the two are closely bound together. Ten days from today the Japa-nese-American treaty of commerce and navigation, denounced six months ago by the United States, will © expire. Simultaneously the Army clique in Japan is said to be planning to set up a puppet government in China as part of the clique’s “new order in East Asia.” Sentiment in America is bitterly hostile to Japan’s conquest of China. Yet it is estimated that today between 60 and 70 per cent of all Japanese imports of war materials are from this country. There is a serious and growing American demand that Congress stop these shipments. Such an embargo, experts declare, might force Japan to call off the war. Blame Army Clique

But Americans, for the most part, do not anticipate the proposed action against Japan with relish. Though a recent poll showed that 82 per cent favor an embargo, the hope is that the need for such action can and will be avoided. Rightly or wrongly, Americans believe the people of Japan want peace with China and friendship with the United tSates.. They feel that only the imperialistic Army clique stands in the way. That is why it is felt here that the appointment of Admiral Yonai instead of one of the clique’s generals may be important. But as yet the hope is only a mild one. It is agreed that mere gestures will neither end the war in China nor remove Japanese-American friction. The gestures will have to be implemented. (

Promises Not Enough

In war—even in the absence of any forthright victory of one side over the other—peace seldom if ever means a return to the status quo ante. Should Japan and China, therefore, now come to mutually satisfactory terms within the spirit of the nine-power pact, the difficulties which have arisen between Japan and the United States would doubtless fall away almost automatically. While ~ events indicate that a move to settle the “Ching incident” and its repercussions in this country may be in preparation; similar gestures in the past have fallen flat because of Tokyo's failure to implement them. Any JapaneseAmerican rapprochement must be based_ upon something more substantial than hollow. promises.

Ann Worried A Bit About Sothern Scar

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 16 (U. P)). —Not until the bandages are removed some days hence will actress Ann Sothern know whether her doctor obeyed her orders—and cut her a cute little crescentshaped appendectomy scar. Blond Miss Sothern went under surgery yesterday and came out “as well as could be expected”— considering the fact, she complained, that she was wrapped in a regulation hospital cotton robe instead of one of the silk nighties she brought with her. As for the scar, which the actress said she had selected so carefully, -Dr. William Branch declined .comment. He wouldn't say what kind he made. “I do hope it’s what I ordered,” said Miss Sothern wistfully, fingering the bandage. “I've always believed an ordinary appendicitis scar mars a girl—even though no one sees it but herself.”

FEAR RIOTING IN LOUISIANA VOTE

Fraud Charges Hurled at Huey’s Old Machine In Primary.

BULLETIN NEW ORLEANS, Jans 16 (U. P.) —State Senator and gubernatorial candidate James A. Noe and two of his helpers were taken to the police station today for attempting to take photographs at a polling boota.

NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 16 (U. P.). — Scandal - shaken Louisiana nominates a Governor today in an atmosphere thick ‘with charges of fraud and threats of violence.

Four candidates opposed Governor Earl K. Long, younger brother of the late “Kingfish” Huey Long, who was trying to hold intact the remnants of the Long political machine which had been deprived of most of its leading lights through Federal prosecutions. Foremost among the anti-Long candidates was Sam Houston Jones, a Lake Charles lawyer, whose platform was: ‘Throw the thieves out.” Another was James. A. Noe, state Senator, oil and radio station operator, who deserted the machine soon after Huey Long’s assassination and who enlivened this campaign with charges that 8000 persons were illegally registered in New Orleans, and a demand that they all be arrested when they tried to vote,

Tactic’s Win Admiration

James H. Morrison of Hammond, who has twice paraded persons dressed .in prison stripes in the streets here, labeled as state and city political leaders, and who kept a monkey which he called “Earl Long” on the speaking platform during most of his campaign speeches, was expected to draw slightly from the Long machine vote. His tactics, similar to those of the late “Kingfish,” had won the admiration of some of the old Long campaigners. : Vincent Moseley of Opelousas had mostly an Opelousas following. It is a Democratic primary and if one candidate fails to get a majority of the votes cast, the two leaders will compete in a run-off primary in 30 days. The Democratic nomination is equivalent to election, although Republicans also are hold-

first time since the 1890's. Noe’s attorneys demanded capiases for the arrest of the 8000 he said were . registered illegally. Jones’ workers backed the Noe faction in this movement. 2 :
