Congress Votes Independence for the Philippines Over Hoover’s Veto--President Again Calls for Balancing of the National Budget.

SOMETIME between 1943 and 1946 the American flag will be lowered In the Philippine islands and the natives of the archipelago whom we have

fostered and protected since 1898 will be left to their own resources. The United States senate, following the example of the house of representatives, overrode President Hoover’s veto of the independence bill by a vote of 66 to 26. The arguments against the measure, presented by the Chief Executive and based on the

Sen. J. H. Lewis

opinions of Secretaries Stimson, Hurley, Chapin and Hyde, were rejected. Therefore the act will go into effect, provided the Philippines legislature accepts it within one year. Dispatches from Manila indicate that it may be accepted, although it is far from being what the leaders there desired. They assert that in passing it congress is actuated by selfish motives, and in a way this was borne out by the argument of Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois in his argument in favor of the measure. “The United States occupies the place of danger today,” he said. “It is the most imperiled of any nation in the world.” He reviewed the grievances held against the United States by Russia, China, and Japan. He predicted that British interests in the Orient and the French possession of Indo-Chinese territory would make them cold to any plea for help should this country become involved in a trans-Pacitic conflict. He claimed to see the formation of an Asiatic Monroe doctrine. “They will not come to America,” said the Illinois senator. “We did not go to Spain. We seized Cuba and the Philippines and told Spain to come and get them. While we hold the Philippines, these nations may seize them at any time and say to us, ‘Come and get them.’ “I place my defense of this measure," the senator concluded, “squarely upon the defense of America.” Senators Borah and Cutting, who with eighteen other Republicans helped the Democrats to override the veto, argued that the United States should redeem its promise of independence for the islands. Privately, some of these Republicans had said they would vote for the measure because a worse one might be passed by the next congress--though this seems almost impossible. Only one Democrat, Copeland of New York, voted to sustain the veto, holding that congress has no constitutional right to alienate a territory once acquired. WHAT the nation thinks of the failure of congress to balance the budget was expressed forcibly thougii politely by President Hoover in a special'message which chided the legislators and urged them to bring about economies in government and to adopt a low general sales tax. He warned them that insolvency will follow if the budget continues indefinitely out of balance, for it is a question how much longer the banks will or can carry the government by purchasing its treasury obligations. The President proposed that the sales tax blanket all commodities except food and cheap clothing. He said there probably would be a deficit between $500,000,000 and $700,000,000 for the next fiscal year, even with reduced appropriations, unless new enues are obtained. Since the President’s criticisms concerning appropriations were aimed chiefly at the Democrat-controlled lower house, Chairman Joseph W. Byrns of the appropriations committee felt called upon to reply. “Was there anything more amazing,” said Mr. Byrns, “than that the President, who has been urging economies since the Democrats came into control, should complain that maximum appropriations and economies have not been adhered to? Do we understand that he is put in the position of saying that congress should not attempt to reduce the estimates he has sent up here? That is what the message means; it can't be construed in any other way. “You have been President nearly four years and secretary of commerce years before that,” Mr. Byrns shouted in an imaginary address to the President. “But for more than three and one-half years you have sat in the White House totally oblivious to the necessity of consolidation of government agencies for the purpose of economy.” Representative Mapes of Michigan answered this by insisting that, as secretary of commerce and repeatedly as President, Mr. Hoover has urged consolidation of agencies and has submitted “a dozen messages” along that line, but has been opposed by leading members of the Democratic party. There is no indication that Mr. Hoover’s message would spur this session to any commendable action.

HAVING re-written the Collier beer bill so that it would allow the manufacture and sale of beer, porter, wine and fruit juices with alcoholic contents of not to exceed 3.05 per cent, the senate judiciary committee delayed action on it for one week. Although the backers of the senate amended bill expressed confidence it would be reported out in time for passage at this session, house wets expressed apprehension that the bottling up of the measure in the judiciary committee might subject it to a filibuster by the drys. Monday, January 16, was the thirteenth anniversary of national prohibition, and Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, author of the Eighteenth amendment, succeeded in breaking through the Long filibuster long enough to deliver his annual speech on prohibition. PRESIDENT-ELECT ROOSEVELT, having had a long talk with Secretary of State Stimson on international policies, paid another visit to President Hoover Friday at the White House, and while the subject of discussion was not announced in advance, it was taken for granted that they would again study the world situation and perhaps give special attention to the war debt problem. Mr. Roosevelt also met the leaders of his party in congress, and then was to proceed to Muscle Shoals with Senators Norris, Black and McKellar to inspect that huge project. Democratic senator at least is thoroughly disgusted with the tactics of some of his colleagues of the same party. This is Millard Tyd-

ings of Maryland, who declared that if the Huey Long fili buster in the senate were tolerated much longer, and if his resolution to cut more than a billion dollars from the costs of the government were not acted on, he would resign for the remainder of the session as a protest. He would begin his new term

on March 4, having been re-elected. “I don’t want my constituents,” he said, “to assume that I condone or even passively accept what is going on here, that I am indifferent to the crying needs of this nation. Let some one else from Maryland come here to look on if he wants to." The Louisiana “Kingfish” and his radical associates suspended their filibuster only long enough for the senate to vote on the Philippines bill Then they resumed their obstructive tactics aimed at the Glass banking bill. The Democratic leaders, however, took the extreme step of filing a petition for cloture. It was signed by 22 Dem ocratie senators. They also filed three amendments to the rules designed to prevent a recurrence of the Long performance in debate on other measures. Senator Glass opened the vials of his sarcasm and told the‘‘Kingfish" what he thought of him. Taking exception to remarks by Long implicating that the Glass measure had been railroad ed onto the senate floor, the Virginia senator asserted the implication was “as false as any ever uttered by any human lips.” He followed this with asserting that Long’s attack on the bill was made up of “oratorical rubbish and misrepresentations.” FOLLOWING his intensive preparation for assuming his office, Mr. Roosevelt made the interesting announcement that he would stand by the American policy of the sanctity of international agreements. In Washington and the other world capitals this was taken as meaning that the United States, under his administration, would continue to refuse recognition of the territorial gains made by Japan in aggression against China. Tokyo was neither surprised nor agitated by this declaration of policy. A foreign office spokesman said: “We are hopeful, however, that, while the substance of the American policy will be unchanged, the manner of its presentation will be altered under Mr. Roosevelt and that irritations growing out of Washington’s ‘spur of the moment’ judgments will be removed. That will count for a great deal.” Japanese statesmen were hopeful that the Manchurian issue would be amicably settled in Geneva, but neither their forces in the field nor the Chinese armies were helping toward that end. Japanese military planes bombed a concentration of Chinese soldiers at Kailuhsen, near the northern border of Jehol province, killing an unestimated number and doing heavy damage to the town. Japanese military headquarters in Mukden claimed that the bombardment was ordered after it had been learned Chinese troops stationed at Kailuhsien were planning to attack the town of Tun gliao, which is across the border in Manchuria, and is an important military position.

MANY Republican politicians expect that President Hoover will attempt a comeback and vindication in 1936 and consequently believe that he seeks to retain control of the party. The “old line” element in the party intends to stop this if possible, and hence schemed to prevent a plan to hold a meeting of the national committee before March 4, feeling that after Mr. Hoover has left office he will not so easily dominate that body. More than a majority of the committee were said to have gone on record against a meeting before the close of the administration. In Washington it was said that the national and congressional committees would be reorganized and that probably National Chairman Everett Sanders would be forced out or resign. PENDING congressional action on the recommendation that 63 per cent of the disability allowances now received by veterans for nonservice

connected injuries be discontinued, administrative steps have been taken to carry out that plan. Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, head of the veterans’ bureau, recently ordered a complete review of all disability allowance claims, with the statement that if was a purely “routine” move. The review or-

der, it was revealed, however,, followed the adoption of changes in the disability allowance regulations, under which veterans whose claims have been allowed heretofore, no longer will be eligible for the federal benefits. Under the old regulations disability allowance has been paid to veterans who could prove permanent disability of 25 per cent or more, and they were permitted to add up their disabilities to make the minimum. Now they must prove a single disability of 20 per cent, though the minimum remains at 25 per cent. General Hines has recommended that the minimum be raised to 50 per cent disability, stating that such a move would eliminate 63 per cent of the veterans now receiving benefits for disability in no way connected with military service, and would save more than $51,000,000 a year. JAMES A. STILLMAN, former New York banker whose marital troubles filled so much newspaper space ten years ago, is again in the limelight. Luc Rochefort, a French-Cana-who once ran for mayor of Montreal, accuses Stillman of his wife’s affections and has brought suit against him in a Brooklyn court for $1,000,000 damages. The suit came to light when Rochefort’s attorney filed a motion in the court in connection with another suit he was prepared to file against Still-man--a $25,000 libel action resulting from blackmail accusations. Stillman’s counsel, Malcolm Sumner, said that his client had refused a suggestion by Rochefort's lawyer that the alienation case be settled for $25,000; that “he did not regard his relations with Mrs. Rochefort warranted any claim being made against him,” and that he would fight both actions, if necessary, in open court. In an affidavit presented to the court Stillmans counsel charged the libel action had been brought “for the deliberate ulterior purpose of using and abusing the process of the court in a scandalous, improper and unprofessional manner in order to harass and intimidate the defendant, a man of wealth and prominence.”

so many discords and hostility, laboring under so many miseries and fearful of so many dangers,” FINANCE MINISTER CHERON sub mitted his budget to the French chamber of deputies, and in it no mention was made of the war debts France owes to the United States. It was stated in Paris political circles that this does not necessarily mean the French government is ignoring them, as experts say it is always possible to introduce special enabling legislation to handle the situation on the basis of later developments. JEAN MERMOZ, eminent French aviator, and six comrades established a new repord by flying from St Louis, French port in West Africa, to Brazil, in 14 hours and 2 minutes. They breakfasted in Africa and dined in South America. From Natal the airmen continued in their trimotored plane to Rio de Janeiro and thence to Buenos Aires, Argentina. AMONG notable persons taken by death were Mrs. Jessie Wilson Sayre, daughter of the late President Woodrow Wilson and wife of Prof. F B. Sayre of Harvard law school; and Sir Robert Jones of Wales, great orthopedic surgeon. 1933, Western Newspaper Union.

INDIANA BREVITIES

Arthur de Baun, age sixty-two, former judge of the Sullivan County Circuit court, died at his home in Sullivan of heart disease. Two masked men held up the home of Isaac Way, four miles east of Shoals, in United States road 150 and escaped with about $50. Charles Estlick, age sixteen, Etna high school pupil, was drowned when he broke throught the ice while skating on Little Cedar lake, Colombia City. Paul Birkla, age eighteen, Fredonia, died of a fractured skull when caught under an automobile. It overturned a mile west of Milltown when a tire blew out. Fulton county authorities were seeking a hit-and-run motorist following the death of Frank Wolf, age seventyfour, widely-known Lake Manitou fisherman guide. After a first semester trial of the new Indiana university extension center in East Chicago, 84 per cent of students registered plan to continue their courses. The fifteenth annual convention of the National Methodist Association of Hospitals, Homes and Deaconess Work will be held in Indianapolis in the Claypool hotel February 15. Lumber dealers from all parts of the state attended the forty-ninth annual convention of the Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association of Indiana in the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis. James W. Wayman died unexpectedly at his home in Brownstown of heart disease. Mr. Wayman was the owner of extensive land interests in Jackson and Daviess counties. Grief over the death of his wife last summer caused Arthur L. Stephens of Gary, age forty-two, mill worker, to drive his car into his garage, close the door and asphyxiate himself. Jury commissioners drawing names of veniremen for service at the firstdegree murder trial in Plymouth, of Virgil Barber, charged with killing Arnold Pratt, drew the name of the slain man. Three thousand hunters of Armstrong, Center, Scott and German townships held an old-fashioned fox chase which netted them two red foxes. Guns were barred at the hunt. The chase lasted an hour and a half. Harrison Wallace of Huntington, age forty, suffered serious burns when gasoline dripping from an automobile became ignited while he was working beneath the car. A spark from the motor is believed to have ignited the fuel.

Legislative measures designed to reduce the costs of government and to balance the state budget were designated by Gov. Paul V. McNutt as having “primary importance” in the list of administration bills being presented to the general assembly. A petition bearing the names of 1,500 voters in Madison county was presented to Senator Walter Vermillion by A. T. Rowe, Anderson, dry leader, who asserted the petitioners object strenuously to “any interference with the present state prohibition law.” Samuel J. Copeland, fifty-two, farmer and a Republican leader of Posey county, was shot in the abdomen while going to the henhouse in search of an opossum, which was disturbing the chickens. He caught a foot in some brush. As he stumbled the gun was discharged. After having been slugged with a blackjack in the hands of a man unknown to him, George Gray, age thirty, Kokomo, fell from a swiftly-mov-ing Pennsylvania passenger train between Indianapolis and Greenfield, receiving injuries which resulted in his death. Patricia Smyth, ten years old, was killed by the Pennsylvania railroad’s New Yorker, fast passenger train, eastbound from Chicago, at Hobart. Engineer Dennis Monahan said the little girl waited for a freight train to pass and then walked directly onto the tracks. Patricia was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Smyth of Hobart.

Eureka college, Bloomington, through its president, Clyde L. Lyon, announced a new policy of student institution co-operation. Emphasis is put upon the co-operative educational features of the plan which will effect a tremendous cut in the present cost of attendance at the school for those students who wish to perform work in exchange for reduction in tuition, room and board costs. A bill aimed at “high-priced basketball coaches” in Indiana was intro duced in the state senate by Senator Thurmann A. Gottschalk (Dem., Adams, Blackford and Wells). The bill would repeal an act of the 1919 session of the legislature providing for the establishment, maintenance and supervision of courses in physical education in the elementary high schools and accredited schools of the state. The state board of tax commissioners will accept, without appealing to the Supreme court, the Benton County Circuit court decision which permanently enjoined the state tax board from adding a 10 per cent horizontal increase in assessment of real estate in White county, Philip Zoercher, chairman of the state board, said. State and national legislation of importance to bankers and the trends of credit and practices in banking were discussed by members of the Indiana Bankers’ association in annual midyear meeting at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis.

For Sunday Night Supper, or Lunch

Well to Keep Supply of Canned Delicacies on Shelves.

Whether you keep house seriously or “kitchenettily,” as some put it, you are almost certain to keep a supply of canned crab meat, tuna fish, salmon and lobster meat on hand. They are called on then for main dishes and salad, for lunch and for Sunday night supper and for canapes and for entrees--if you go in for formal dinners. Of these four foods, lobster perhaps has the more distinct flavor. A very good brand of canned lobster must be selected on this account. Packs of lobster vary more than packs of the other fish unless it is the crab meat, which is of two distinctly different kinds. The Japanese crab meat comes in larger pieces, keeps its natural flavor, and is packed in such quantities that it is used largely. It is particularly good for salad whenever large pieces are desirable. Personally, a household authority says, I like both lobster and crab left in fairly large pieces when a salad is prepared. At least a third as much celery as fish is used for these salads, and mayonnaise is mixed with them. Tiny capers or minced green olives improve these salads. Tuna may be used the same way. When salmon is used as a salad, it is better left in larger pieces --as it comes from the can. Plenty of mayonnaise should be arranged, with hard-cooked eggs--cut into lengthwise eighths--around the salmon. Eggs are, of course, often used to garnish the other fish salads. Any one of these fish may be put into an aspic jelly with celery and sliced stuffed olives. A ring of salad of this sort may be served with cucumbers cut into dices and mixed with mayonnaise or with a mixed vegetable salad dressed in the same way. For canapes, the fish is usually finely minced and well seasoned before it is spread on rounds of toast or fried bread. Sometimes the salad mentioned above is molded in tiny molds not more than one inch in diameter. When these are turned out of the mold they are put on toothpicks and eaten with canapes, as an appetizer. For a creamed dish, or for its richer relation the Newburg, lobster and crab are the favorites. The creamed fish is served on toast in patty cases, or is put in ramekins or in a large baking dish, covered with crumbs and browned in a hot oven. When high seasonings and pimentos and green peppers are added to a creamed dish

it is sometimes known as “deviled." Any of these fish make delicious timbales and souffles. One is as good as the other. Sometimes a Hollandaise or a Tartar sauce is served with these hot dishes. One other delicious use for these sea foods should be mentioned. They make such delicious cream soups as “bisques,” as they are called. Of course, they are a little heavy for dinner, but I know of one household where this is a specialty of the hostess and where guests are always hopeful of having a meal begin with her famous lobster bisque. In either of the recipes given, of product can be used to better advantage, but we are quite likely to find good use for them often in their canned form. Salmon Timbales. 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon chopped parsley 1/4 teaspoon onion juice 1/8 teaspoon white pepper 2 slices pimento 1/2 cup ripe olives, minced 1 cup flaked salmon 1 cup bread crumbs 1 tablespoon butter Heat two tablespoons butter and add the flour, gradually add milk and stir until it thickens. Add salt, parsley, onion juice, pepper, olives, pimentos and salmon to mixture. Pour into buttered ramekins, cover with crumbs over which one tablespoon of melted butter has been poured. Place ramekins in a pan of hot water and bake in a hot oven (450 degrees Fahrenheit) until the crumbs have browned. Garnish with parsley. This recipe may be doubled for a luncheon dish. Spinach Ring Filled With Lobster and Crab. 3 cups cooked or canned spinach 1 teaspoon grated onion 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon salt 1/6 teaspoon black pepper 1/3 teaspoon paprika 2 eggs 3 cups cream sauce 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs 1 cup flaked lobster meat 1 cup flaked crab meat Chop spinach fine and add grated onion, which has been browned in butter. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika and add the well-beaten egg yolks. Mix the spinach with one and one-half cups of cream sauce and fold in the well-beaten egg whites. Place in a buttered ring mold and dust with bread crumbs. Placein a pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for twenty minutes. Loosen the spinach by pressing from the side of the mold with a knife, turn out on a hot platter and fill the center with lobster meat and crab meat heated with rest of white sauce. Garnish with strips of pimento or slices of lemon or hard-cooked egg. ©, 1933, Bell Syndicate.--WNU Service.
