Lucas Tries to Oust Senator Norris From Republican Party—Borah Thinks Special Session Will Be Necessary.

R. H. Lucas independent Republican senators insist that the national, committee oust Mr. Lucas. Chairman Fess of the committee lias declared for a hands-off policy, but a showdown is demanded by Senator Howell of Nebmska and others, and there is in prospect a lively party quarrel that may very well embarrass the .Repub- .; licans greatly. All this is the outcome of the discovery by the Nye campaign fund committee that Lucas financed a campaign against the reflection Ol Norris. Lucas has freely admitted the facts ami defends his action by the assertion that the Nebraska senator Is not really a Republican a,nd has no right to be classed as such. ■ ‘To accept office at the hands of this party and then viciously oppose Its policies, principles and leadership, brings an intolerable situation and one which must be eradicated. If the party Is to live." says Mr. Lucas. "Such conduct by Senator Norris* has been, revolting and until the leaders of the Republican party not <>nly fab to support but give their active opposition to like Senator Norris, they (Pre not doing their full duty to the party which has come fiown to uT from Lincoln.” After telling how he privately coy tributed three .pieces of literature to the anti Norris campaign, Lucaai goes on to relate in detail the many ways In which Norris has displayed his “party treachery" and "ingratitude by (i j«jH>sing the ■’adminrstruimns and ■policies of i’rexidi lits Foolidgr and Hoover, nil >d whigh la a | tory though heretofore officially ignored by Republican party chieftains. ‘ Convened by ah emergency caffl by Chairman Nye. the senate committee discovered further that the which Lucas borrowed to pay for the • nti-Norris propaganda and for which he gave his personal note was guaranteed by a MO.tiOO special account of 4 the Republican national committee In .the Commercial National bunk in Washington. This was in the nature of a counter attack against Lucas am! wait reinforced by statements made by Nutria and Senator Cutting of,New Mexico. The Nebraskan openly charged that-Lucan had sworn to a falsehood when he testified before the committee that the money he paid was his own, private fund. Cutting defended Norris and attacked tin- national committee. Then up ste|*ped Representative Wood of Indiana on behalf of Laces and 'coved a ’arf a brick at Senator j . Norris whereupon Swator BrookliMrt of lowa. fititl.ti.' it wasn't a private 'fight, shied a dofnirk at Secretary Mellon and ’• ailed Lucas ’an irudgnit '-ant wart " There were indications that l’b-»i dent Hoover and .the other party leaders would Ignore,'officially, the entire qnarrol, w |di It.

CAMERON’ MORrison, the new senator from North Carolina, was scarcely in his seat before he totally wrecked an ancient tradition of the upper house by arising" and making a speech. Os course he should have sat silent for at least a few

weeks, but attack MeNjfKh made by , Senator v Walsh of Montana on Frank R. McNlnch of North one of the President's nominees for the. federal power commission, was more than he could endure without retort. He spoke eloquently and warmly for twenty minutes, starting out with the declaration: “I would scorn to stand in this body Mid hear this noble man traduced by anybody," and when he was all through he mildly expressed his regret that he "had to trespass upon the attention of this body in almost the hour of my entrance.” Mr. McNinch, the speaker explained, never received nor handled a nickel of any power company’s money. True enough, he was an anti-Smith Democrat in 1928, and he, Morrison, as a regular, took the stump against him, but that did not make him a Republican. k.

There had been much LordWillingdon t() thp that Prime Minister ILimsay Mat Donald probably would be given, the rich plum. Lord Willingdon, who is sixtyfour years of age, was governor of Bombay from 11H3 to 1919 and of Madras from 1919 to 1924. earning a hame for a conciliatory attitude. He has been governor-general of Canada since 192 G, OF GREAT ini|H>rtnnce In the economic affairs of northern Europe was the signing by six nations of a convention binding, them not to raise existing tariff rates or Introduce new ones without consulting-one another. This was done at a conference in Oslo. Norway, called to enforce "liberal principles in commercial policy." The six nations are Norway. Sweden. Holland, Belgium. Denmark and Luxemburg. The signatories also agreed to consider the application of the principle which was the basis of the treaty to “other arrangements likewise calculated to favor international trade.” ROME'S big treason trial, staged somewhat as was the one in Mossow by the Soviet rulers, lasted only one day and restilted in the sentencing of three men to prison for having engaged in anti-Fascist activities. The other four defendants were acquitted. Among them was Mrs. H. J. de Bosts. American-born widow of an Italian poet. She was freed on her plea that she did not know that the circulars she muitlgraphed in Iter home were antLFascist propaganda. She did the work for her son. who is a fugitive and yet to be tried. «

The other day by’action of the central committee and central control commission of the Communist party he was deprived of membership in the important political bureau. It was a part of Stalin’s plan to get rid of all the rightwhig leaders and was followed immediately by tlie dismissal of Tomsky as vice chairman as the supreme economic council. Both Rykov and Tomsky had long opposed Stalin s industrialization program, and though they recanted publicly lust summer during the party congress, this did not save them. ".Rykov w:t« absent from revent Soviet celebrations in Moscow, and it was ,-xplaine<i that he had gone South “for his health."

THE SYRACUSE JOVRXAE.

The Boyhood. * of Famous «, Americans

Gen. John J. Pershing The competitive examination for West Point was on. It was a close contest between

as the winner and appointed him as a cadet to the United States Military academy. It was by this narrow margin that Uncle Sam obtained the general whp was to command the greatest armed 1 host ever raised in the United States and to lead it to victory with the al- . lies in the greatest war in the world's : history. No ambition nurtured from early boyhood prompted John Pershing to seek admission to West Point. He had no set ideas- on becoming a soldier when he was a little fellow. In fact, he was headed for a career as a teacher or a lawyer, and was a stui dent in the Kirksville Normal school when he won the appointment to the Military academy. He saw his congressman’s notice of the examination In a newspiqver and asked his sister, who was also attending the Kirksville school, if she would advise him to try the test She certainly would, she toid him. This coincided with his own ideas on the subject, so his military career may be said to have had its first impetus in the reading of a newspaper advertisement. General Pershing was born in 1860 at Laclede. Mo., a hamlet of some TOO inhabitants. His father, whose ances-. tors had come from Alsace, had the general store at Laclede and also owKed a farm on the outskirts of the town. The future commander of the A. E. F. was the oldest of six children. He assumed much responsibility In helping to care for them. The Pershing youngsters spent considerable thne on the farm. Young John developed into a capable worker in the fields even as a boy. The Outdoor life and exercise made him a fine upstanding and vigorous youth. He was known as a good fighter when he .had to use his fists, but he was never one to go out looking for trouble. He could ride horsjeback. fish, swim and hunt when he was a little shaver. Such training fell to the lot of all boys In the west InMliose days. His mother taught him his figst book lessons and instilled in him the desire for a good education. If he wasn’t a, brilliant student, he was a conscientious one and stood well in his classes. Fellow pupils of the Laclede days can recall that when Jchrrl’ershing had a problem to solve” he worked at it until he had the correct answer. While he was quiet as a boy. he was full of fun and enjoyed playing pranks with the youngsters of bis own age. ' _ Before he entered the Kirksville Normal school he taught for two terms at Prairie Mound, a few miles distant from Laclede. He was eighteen at the time. Some of his pupils were older than that, one day he had to chastise an unruly pupil. The lad's father, well over six feet tall and big in proportion, appeared the next day to? deriiand satisfaction of the teacher. He had a gun In his pocket. He stormed about and roared threats. First the yaomg U-aHier took the gun from she man. Then lie handed him a sound with hiS fists. Young Pershing was a leader among the students at Kirksville, lie was equally prominent at West Point. They tell the story that when a group of hazers tried to put the. new cadet through the mill, he thrashed two of them soiffidly. He was serious, persistent and determined in his efforts to become an excellent soldier during his studant days at tlie Military academy. He made a good record in his studies, ranking thirtieth in his class when he was graduated In 1886: He was senior cadet captain and was elected president- of his class. The newly made second lieutenant was assigned to the cava'lry. He saw service as a young officer under Nelson A. Miles in the Apache, Geronimo and Wounded Knee campaigns. Then he taught military tactics at. the University of Nebraska, also acting 'hs assistant professor of mathematics. Tie studied law while assigned to Nebraska, was graduated with* honors and admitted to the bar. Then he was ordered to West Point as an Instructor. Fropt there he was detailed to duty In Cuba, serving under General Shafter in the Spanish-American war. He was promoted for bravery at the battle of El Caney. He made a brilliant record In the Philippines and led the expedition Into Mexico before being put in command of the A. E. F. Uncle Sam was fortunate. Indeed, that John Pershing topped his rival tn the West Point competitive examination for his district by the narrow margin of that single point. (®. by The North American Newspaper Affiance.)

Made of vel- ’ vet of course, for it’s velvet, velvet, velvet, according to what “they say” in the land o’ style, when it comes to that which is most flattering for afternoon and evening wear.

Remove the jaunty jacket and a most ravishing lace-yoked and sleeved onepiece frock stands in readiness to "do the honors" in a semi-formal way. As the season advances increasing emphasis is plgced on the vogue of the youthful bolero frock. So if in doubt make the new dress “with a bolero," Most of the best couturiers and dressmakers are doing just that. • As to “what kind of a hat" to wear with tiie velvet frock, there’s nothing smarter and ever so’effective, too,as*velvet for the chapeau as well as for the gown or coat as the case may be.
