ANADA BEGINS 1-DAY HOMAGE TO TWEEDSMUIR
ores in Bathroom Fall Result in Death of Viceroy, 64.
MONTREAL, Quebec, Feb, 12 (U. P)~Canada was plunged today
into seven f m f days o ourning for
uir, 64-year-old Gov-ermor-General who died last night after a third brain operation to
relieve & concussion received last|
Tuesday in a fall in his bathroom. 8ir Lyman Duff, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, took over the duties of Administrator of the Dominion, which is engrossed in both war with Germany and a Federal election scheduled March
26. 2 death of the Governor-Gen-eral, who had been unconscious since an hour after his fall at the Vice Regal residence .in Ottawa, raised no serious political prob-
Although as: Viceroy, personal representative of Great Britain's King in the greatest British dominion, he had power to appoint the judiciary, members of the Senate and the chief executives of all nine Canadian provinces, he was serving only a five-year term that would have expired this summer, and had indicated his intention of retiring to ‘his native Scotland then. It was believed that court circles in London already had a successor in mind, Lord Elgin and the Duke of Devonshire having been mentioned most prominently.
Funeral to Be Wednesday
-The body, with an escort of 100 Canadian Grenadier Guards, arrives at Ottawa, the Dominions’ capital, at noon tomorrow, to lie in state in the Senate chamber. A state funeral will be held in St. Andrew’s -Presbyterian Church Wednesday afternoon, then the body will be returned here for cremation. The ashes will be buried in Scotland. The Viceroy underwent two brain operations Priday, when his condition became desperate, one at Otitawa ahd the other here, after a 100-mile train ride. When his condition became worse last evening, a blood transfusion was made. The donor was Ernest Brown, 38, unemployed mechanic. He was on the hospital’s list of donors and arrived unshaved and in tattered clothes in response to an emergency call, ° Lord Tweedsmuir failed to rally after the transfusion and although it was apparent he was dying, Drs. William field administered manual artificial respiration for an hour and a half. Lady Tweedsmuir, the former Susan Charlotte Wellington, descendant of a sister of the Duke of Wellington; a son, Lieut. Alistair Buchan, and Lady Pape, lady-in-waiting to Lady Tweedsmuir, were at the bedside.
Ministers Are Summoned
Lady Tweedsmuir and her attendants left immediately for Ottawa and Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King summoned Cabinet Ministers. Many of them were on campaign trips. Among the first messages of sympathy received by Lady Tweedsmuir were those of President Roosevelt and U. S. State Secretary Cordell Hull, who had negotiated CanadianAmerican trade agreements with Lord Tweedsmuir in 1935 and 1938. Condolences also were received from King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, whose visit to the Dominions last year was one of the high points of Lord Tweedsmuir’s career. ‘ Porn John Buchan, Lord Tweedsmuir was known as a scholar and writer. He was the son of the Rev. John Buchan, minister of the Scottish Free Church in the Scottish borderland. He attended Glasgow University with the aid of scholarships, and wrote novels to help defray his expenses at Oxford. He was secretary to the High Commissioner .for South Africa during the Boer War; served as newspaper correspondent and later as Director of Information during the World War. His “History of the World War” was published in 1921. He was elevated to the peerage after appointment as 15th Canadian GovernorGeneral.

For the first time since her arrival for the ice show Monday, the blond queen of the skates was able to say a few words at her final curtain Saturday night.

To a group of admirers who had gathered at the airport to see her off, she said: “I'll see to it that I come back next year. The people here are very fine to know. The audience was always marvelously receptive and appreciative and the Coliseum: is one of the finest buildings in the country. The lighting and the ice were wonderful.” Miss Henie was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Selma Henie, and her brother, Leif.

REGRETS YOUTH SESSION TREND
First Lady Cites Submergence of Job Discussion By Communism.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (U. P.). —Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said
tions of the youth congress on
where young people can find jobs were somewhat drowned out by the clamor over communism. “I think that is one-of the regrettable things,” she said at a press conference following adjournment of the Congress. “The fact that we think so much about communism —which seems to me to be so little in the minds of the great mass of the young people—has submerged the really important thing, which pin that they wanted and needed obs.’ Mrs. Roosevelt, who attended most of the sessions of the Congress, said she personally felt the youths were “wrong not to condemn the invasion of Finland, but I would nat have them do something they did not feel.” Mrs. Roosevelt’s summary of the entire Congress was that the young people considered they had been unfairly criticized for the presence of a few young Communists in their all-
s» |youth organization and refused to
be dictated to on that subject; that they were far more concerned with their personal job problems than with, communism: that they in no sense sympathized with the Tussia of Stalin, but that a few of them felt they might find the answer to what they were seeking through the real Communist theory; that to most of them communism was immaterial; rather, they wanted jobs and most emphatically did not want war.

‘Great Stuff,’ Say Congress-
men, Blandly Going Limit On Own Payrolls.
By DICK THORNBURG Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Econo-
my is a grand thing to talk to the ‘| voters about, but there’s no use in |a Congressman taking it so seri-
ously as to practice it, ‘This axiom
is aptly illustrated by an examina-
tion of the January payrolls of House . members for clerk hire, y. Until Jan, 1 the representatives were limited to $5000 a year each for clerks. As of that date the limit became $6500. The $1500 increase
| was voted by Songress last session—
without a roll an. 432 representatives took full advantage of the increase. Of the 30, about a dozen
Yaited their payrolls but not to the ull: $6500.
Some Raise Salaries Economizers and spenders alike
either added new clerks or raised
the salaries of old ones. ‘Rep. Joe Martin (R. Mass.) the minority leader, who has led repeated assaults on- New Deal spend-
-|ing, added Janet Allen to his pay-
roll at $1500, raised the salary of his chief secretary, James N. Milne, from $3660 to $2200, and kept Katherine Milne at $1200—a total of $6500. Rep. John Taber (R. N. Y.), a loud voice for economy, gave his
a-year raise and put Herbert D. Brown on the payroll at $1100. Ruth Drennan, at $1500, fills out Mr. Taber’s $6500.
The leader of the economy bloc|
on the Democratic side, Rep. Clifford Woodrum (D. Va.) upped the salaty of Diane Taylor from $3200 to $3900 and hired Mary E. Fox at $2600, succeeding Mildred Tinsley who had got $1800.
Bender Hits Spending—
JAs late as last Friday Rep. George Bender (B. O.) was inveighing/ against the rising cost of government. The most important item in the day’s news, he said, was an article about the U. S. payroll reach-
ing an all-time high of 987,500 em- |}
ployees. “After seven years of New Deal experimentation we find our Federal payroll up to almost a million employees,” he said. “The New Deal refuses to compromise. America’s voters must write the compromise of 1940 for them.” While Mr. Bender was making the speech, his campaign manager and patronage dispenser for the Republican organization jin Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), Daniel Wasserman, was drawing $3200 a year from the Government as a clerk for Mr. Bender.
—Bender Adds to Payroll
On Jan. 1 Rep. Bender let Mr. Wasserman’s pay stand unchanged at $3200, but added Antoinette Deggin to the payroll at $1500. Together, with < Margaret Colburn’s $1800, the three salaries totaled $6500. ‘ Miss Deggin was employed in
Mr. Bender’s office all last year,| but her salary was not paid by the
Government, The new maximum allowed Mr. Bender to take Miss Deggin off his personal payroll and
put her on the Government's.
