It Is good news that Henry Ford has gone back to airplane building. Ills last trimotor plane was produced ' in 1931. His new two-passenger plane, with V-8 engine turning the propeller 4.000 times a minute, carries 30 gallons of | gasoline, with a flying range above ■, * 600 miles. Five hundred miles of air. travel for $6 worth of gasoline for two passengers would be cheap transportation. Henry Ford will begin manufactur-/ log planes seriously, “if and when con-' dltions demand volume production worth whilb." Jess Jones, chairman of Reconstruction Finance corporation, tells the banks that be will go on lending government money until they make credit and loans easier.

There is rioting in Porto Rico, numbers killsM and wounded In various places.

News Review of Current Events the World Over Hauptmann Reprieved by Governor Hoffman —Plan Devised to Avoid New AAA Legislation— Bonus Bill Favored in Senate. By EDWARD W. PICKARD e Western Newapaper Union.

LESS than thirty hours from the time when he was to die in the j electric chair, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted kidnaper and slayer

of the Lindbergh baby, was given a thlrty-day reprieve by Governor Hoffman of New Jersey. This means he will have at least sixty more days to live, because he will have to be re-sentenced. The governor did not give specific reasons for his action. He did say: “A reprieve is an act of executive clemency rather than

Bruno Hauptmann

judicial clemency. I am not requiredto give a reason, but I might say that there are grave doubts In this case, not only In my mind, but in the minds also of our citizens." There will be only the one reprieve, “unless the evidence should warrant" another, the governor said. If Hauptmann to to be finally saved it must be through the presentation of sufficient new evidence to warrant Justice Trenchard granting a request for a new trial, or for a new plea for clemency to the state pardons court The stay came after tbe United States Supreme court at Washington refused to admit attorneys to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus for Hauptmann. That closed the door to all further legal action designed to delay the execution. Various stories about the crime, some new and others old. are going the rounds and are being investigated by authorities-and by the forces of the defense. They are too complicated for summary here. LITERARY DIGESTS Presidential straw vote has been concluded, and the final returns indicate a growling opnpeition to the New Deal. A total off 1,907,681 ballots was received, and of these 62.66 per cent were cast against the President's policies and acts, and 37.34 per cent were for the administration. Thirty-six states gave majorities against to eleven still in favor of tbe President and bls policies. Among the pro Roosevelt states was Utah. The others were classified In the release as "southern and border" states. Os the different sections of the country. New England cast the heaviest “No" vote, going 77.98 per cent against the administration. The Middle Atlantic states from New York to West showed 68.89 per cent of the voters agaldst Mr. Roosevelt and his recovery schemes, white the Middle Western states In the farm belt and the Rocky Mountain atates Indicated a ratio approximately the same as the nation at large—3 to 2 against. The three Pacific coast states totaled 58.04 against the New Deal. THERE Win be no new legislation to continue the aims of the AAA. If tbe plans of the administration are adopted, for It has been found by offi-

Sen. Robinson

dais that tb<? soil conaervatlon act of 1935 will permit the undertaking of about everything in the bill that tbe house t *an«i senate agriculture committee# were drawing up. In a White House conference the new program was agreed upon by President Roosevelt. Senator J. T. Robinson, majority

leader; Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Attorney General Cummings, Ctiairman Ellison D. Smith of the senate agriculture committee. Chairman Marvin Jones of the house agriculture committee, Speaker Joseph W. Byrns, Senator John H. Bankhead (Dem.. Ala.), AAA Administrator Darla, and M. G. White of the AAA. The administration will work out a system of granting farm subsidies to farmers restricting acreage under authority of the soil conservation act of 1935. In connection with the program the administration will make provision for obligations incurred under the AAA. In a radio address Herbert Hoover offered the country his own plan for bringing recovery to the farmer. Asserting that a new road must be built by which agriculture can “get back onto the solid ground from the quicksand of the New Deal.* Mr. Hoover outlined three general or group proposals for farm recovery. They were: 6 1. The restoration of the house market to American farmers. 2. The retirement of “thin” and submarginal acres, along with a slowing up of reclamation of projects. 3. Encouragement of co-operative marketing and the further Improvement of farm credit machinery. — Seventeen persons met a tragic fate In the worst airplane accident that the United States has had. A big transport plane of the American Airlines, en route from New York to Los Angeles, crashed in a swamp near the village of Goodwin, Ark., and its 14 passengers, two pilots and stewardess were killed. With great difficulty the bodies of the victims were brought out of the marsh where their bodies were found scattered among frilgmenta of the shatteredplane. Officials of the government and of the airline company immediately started an investigation, but the I cause of the disaster could not easily I be determined. There was definite evidence that the two motors of the plane | had not failed. The giant French seaplane Ueute® I ant Vaiweau Paris, which crossed tho I Atlantic to South America and thews; J

flew up to Pensacola, Fla., came to grief at that port when it was struck by a gale and upset In the bay. its six motors buried in the mud. No one was aboard at the time. ALL the air lines of the country have united in the formation of the Air Transport Association of America, whose president and “czar” is CoL Edgar S. Gorrell, chief of staff of the army air service during the World war. Fowler W. Barker, war pilot and. former secretary of tbe transport branch of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, was elected secretary and treasurer. Co-ordination of schedules, credits, advertising, engineering data, and purchasing power among the various'operators prompted the organization of the new association which is intended to be an “ideal trade association." Its functions will be similar to those of the North Atlantic steamship conference and Colonel Gorrell will have powers approximating those of Will Hays of the movies and Judge Landis of baseball. SENATOR PAT HARRISON'S compromise bonus measure, providing for payment In baby bonds redeemable on demand, was given the right "of way

in the senate and its passage seemed certain after a brief and lively debate. The veterans* organizations whose bill had been passed by the house accepted the compromise, so it evidently was on Its way to the White House for action by the President What Mr. Roosevelt would do was not known, reports that

Sen. Pat Harrison

he would veto the bill being offset by rumors that he would approve it despite the disapproval of treasury officials. On the eve of action by the senate every member of that body received from the Economy league a letter written by its president,. Henry H, Curran, warning that the bonus legislation would “destroy any chance for confidence Lp the finances of our government that is necessary if we are ever to regain national prosperity." The letter said that the national budget is unbalanced, national credit slipping, taxes Increasing, purchasing power of the dollar declining and inflation drawing near. “But that is not all,” Curran declared; “the veterans’ organizations, as soon a* the prepayment of the bonus is authorized by you—ls it is—are going after you for service pensions, that is to say. for money pensions to veterans just because they are veterans, even though they were never touched by the war. “And this means more billions handed out to a special class at the unjust expense of all the rest of our people who are trying, in the face of heavy taxes and financial uncertainty, to struggle up out of five years of hard times." * HAPPY days are nearing for the indigent, for the Social Security board is beginning to operate. It has announced the appointment of five persons who will administer the social security act. Murray W. Latimer of Mississippi was appointed director of the bureau of federal old age benefits. R. Gordon Wagener of Berkeley, Calif., was appointed director of the bureau of unemployment compensation. Miss Jane M. Hoey of New York was made director of the public assistance bureau of the social security board. Louis Resnick of New York was named director of the Informational service bureau. The board also announced the appointment of Robert E. Huse of Cambridge, as assistant. HAVING spent about F 22.000.000 in connection with the steamship Leviathan, the government will now spend approximately $9,000,000 more on the building of a new vessel to take the place of the great ship that was taken from Geraaggy tn wartime. Secretary of Commerce Roper announced the acceptance of a contract submitted by the United States Lines for construction of a sister ship to the Washington and Manhattan. The contract was executed by the shipping line with the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock corporation for $11,900,000 for the new ship. Under the new agreement the government may lend up to 75 per cent of $9,000.000 of the cost of the vessel. SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR ICKES, making a brief visit tp our Caribbean possessions, told representatives of the sugar Interests la Puerto Rico that the great sugar estates of that island would be broken up, because they are In violation of a law forbidding the corporate ownership of more than SOO acres of land.

Rains in Ethiopia Stop the Italian Operations ETHIOPIA’S “little" rainy season has come, and the advances of the Invading Italians are therefore stopped effectually for several weeks at least The downpours are heavy and continuous. roads are being destroyed, especially in the northern part of tbe country, and landslides in the mountains are frequent Foreign observers were of the opinion that all fighting wist cease, even In the south where the rains are not so heavy.

Dispatches received in Rome said 30,000 native troops under General Granzlanl and 60.000 Ethiopians com- ' manded by Ras Desta Demtu. son-in- • law of Emperor Halle Selassie, en- > gaged In a desperate battle along the I entire southern front, and that the I Ethiopians, who had been converging j on the Italian army at Dolo, were in , “full retreat." The Ethiopian government an- ! nonneed that a Red Cross unit headed i by Maj. Gerald Burgoyne of England J had been bombed and destroyed by | Italian planes at Waldia, 90 miles north of Dessye, the communique said sevSeri* women and seven old men were j killed and half tbe town burned, and (added that the unit was plainly marked 'with the Red Cross insignia. Mussolini continued the dispatch of fresh troops to Ethiopia, despite unfavorable conditions. He postponed the meeting of the Fascist grand council from January 18 to February 1, by which time the League of Nations council, it to presumed, will have decided whether to Impose an oil embargo on Italy. The league council would very much like to have the United States congress pass Its neutrality legislation before the oil embargo question is settled. Dr. Marcel Junod, International Red Cross delegate, announced at Addis Ababa that be would recommend withdrawal of all Red Cross units from Ethiopia unless Italy definitely promised not to bomb them. FAILING In their demand for the right of full equality of naval strength for Japan with Great Britain and the United States, the Japanese delegates withdrew from the conference in London and prepared to go , home. The American, British. French and Italian delegates, however, refused to let the parley collapse and ’ constituted themselves a four-power conference. Their hope is that they may arrive at some agreement on the , size of warships and on limitation of ’ gun calibers; but any real building , limitation agreement Is admittedly impossible without Japan. It is the . intention to invite Germany and Russia to take part In the deliberations, and later the Balkan nations may be , invited to participate. The Japanese, in withdrawing, emphasized their desire to avoid a building race. Their demand Is for equality with other powers, on the ground that if the big navies were equaL none could attack another in the defender’s ' home waters. The American argu- ( ment Is that equality does not mean , real security, because the United States Is so iltuated geographically ( and has jsuch .to defend, ( that it need/a navy u superior tc Japan’s to feel secure. Britain. France and Italy also opposed the Jap anese demand. 1 SOVIET RUSSIA expects to be attacked on both flanks, and is making ready for tbe conflict, feeling that ' it can count for defense only on its * own forces. The government’s news- , paper. Journal de Moscou, asserts ’ that Germany and Japan have completed a military coalition or are about I to do so, and that it appears Italv ’ wishes to join that alliance. The Soviet Union already has de- ’ livered its answer to alleged war 1 threats with the announcement that ‘ its army—tbe greatest in the world — 'A has been- increased during the last ’ year to 1,300,000 men. The bolsheviks estimate they also have a trained J reserve as large as that under the czars, when 10,000,000 were called to arms. If this expected war comes in the * east it will start because of tbe at- j 1 tacks by Manchukuo on the Mongolian j frontier, where there have been re- s * peated clashes. In the west it may 1 begin with an attempt of Germany and Poland to conquer the Ukraine. • Maj. Gen.

DIGEST/ Iff by WILLIAM BRUCKART NATIONAL PRESS BLOG. WASHI«GTON?B.C.

Washington.—The dictionary says the j word confusion means mixed indiscriminately; dlsorCon/anon dered, deranged; UthfiWord Perplexed; bewildered, or discon- ! certed. There probably is no better word to describe the situation in Washington ever the past three weeks than the word confusion. If one keeps an eye half open, one cannot help seeing all of the things mentioned In the dictionary definition of the word. There might be an addition. If I were to expand the definition and make It just a little more applicable to the circumstances tn the national Capital, I would add “running around In circles.” The reconvening of congress always Is a signal for commotion, and confusion and taut nerves. The opening sessions, nevertheless, usually have been mild for a few days. The climax was reached by a gradual building up of excitement to the moment of the annual message of the President on the state of tbe Union/—This time, however, the climax came quickly and Instead of a subsidence, as we usually have seen, the crest of the wave of excitement continued. If this is a barometric prediction of what we may see In the forthcoming political campaign, there will be. Indeed, a battle. That the picture of Washington confusion may be pieced together, let us review In briefest form some of the things that happened: Congress reconvenes at noon on a Friday—orders go from the White House to the Capitol that the President desires to deliver his annual speech on the state of the Union immediately — arrangements are made proinptiy for a night session (the second of its kind in history)-—President Roosevelt delivers a masterful discourse on international affairs, virtually naming names of autocratic rulers throughout the world-and demanding that they cease arbitrary programs leading to war, and follows that with a plain political speech regarding domestic affairs, challenging New Deal . opponents to undo what the New Deal administration had done—Republican National Chairman Fletcher bitingly attacks the political phases of the Roosevelt speech on the state of the Union and demands that radio broadcasting companies give New Deal opponents the same time and thp same stations for broadcasting a political answer—broadcasting company replies show a desire to be fair with radio time and toss back to Mr. Fletcher the difficult task of selecting individuals to answer Mr. Rooseielt. • • • The Supreme court in a monfentous decision invalidates the Agricultural Adjustment act, Rail at key measure of Supreme Coart I>ea ' refor ™ —M r.

answer links officials of President Wilson’s administration with the development of sentiment favorable to American participation on the side of the Allies—Senator Nye gains much publicity for himself and the neutrality bill which he sponsors in the senate—many new representatives of business arrive in Washington, open offices, prepare to fight against further New Deal encroachment upon private business. and everyone runs around in circles. • At the outset of this discussion, I suggested that if events of the last several weeks form Loofta Like a proper criterion, Roagh Battle political campaign that is now under way Is going to be rough. I base that prediction upon the view taken of it by Postmaster General Farley, the king-pin Democratic politician and the reactions that have come editorially and in news columns to the President’s Jackson day dinner speech and the political phases of his message on the state of the Union. Mr. Farley made no bones about the prospect. He foresees all kinds of mud slinging, misrepresentation and personal attacks. There seems to be no doubt that he to correct Aside from his statesmanlike discussion of international problems, Mr. Roosevelt’s message to congress descended to the point where he was definitely cataloging all opposition to the New Deal as “greedy and selfish" men and women. Every one of them, in the President’s opinion, has a personal ax of avarice to grind. He intends, apparently, to make that his theme song. Whether bis conclusions are right or wrong is not in question here. The point is that since Mr. Roosevelt has opened the fire in that manner, he can naturally expect the same type of fire to be returned. In the* language of the twelve-year-old ruffian: “He asked for it” There was another striking thing about the Roosevelt speeches to congress and to the Jackson day dibers. 'For the first time since he has occupied the White House, he gave every evidence of being nettled and nervous. He spoke in a voice that appeared to be tired ■ there was lacking that buoyancy, timt smile, when he spoke that used to characterize his expressions. You will recall undoubtedly that for a long time in the early part of his ad- I ministration he was wholly unmindful : of his en<Anies, ignored them completely, and plowed straight ahead with a determination that won him many friends. Lately, however, there has been unmistakable evidence of a martyr complex in his manner. • • • Referring again to the two speeches, I have heard any number of observers ' comment, first, on Laying his almost tearfu* \ Hi» Linet appeal at the con elusion of his speech to congress, and secondly, to his thinly veiled comparison between himself ant President Jackson when be spoke U the Jackson day diners. I am not making any predictions at to where this trend will lead. It is ! important to note, however, that it is an old political trick to Impugn the motives of the opposition. Such was the mood into which former President Herbert Hoover fell when in 1931 it became apparent his political life was on the skids and slipping fast. When he was “on his way out" Mr. Hoovei became so plcayunish that even his own associates found it difficult to do the things he wanted do the way he desired. This condition continued to develop until he began to complain personally about the “hair shirts” that be bad to wear. The "hair shirts” incident probably was the best tip-off to the sinking feeling that had began to permeate Mr. Hoover’s outlook at that time. The rest is history. As to the course which Mr. Roosevelt is following in impugning the motives of his opposition, hardly take objection because it has been done so often and for the further reason that neither Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr. Farley is a political novice. I believe that Washington observers generally give each of these men credit for being thoroughly versed in politics and since Mr. Roosevelt is “dimly conscious that a campaign is under way and an election is scheduled," he naturally to laying his lines They will be pulled from time to time with a resultant display for public view intended to convince tbe person of small means or no means at all that he is their savior; that he intends and seeks at all times to protect them from those selfish and greedy groups who.f ek to grind down the population for ,t sake of profit. • W«rt«rd Newspaper Upton. Meaning of Word Humor The word humor to taken directly from the Latin and meant fluid or moisture. Old physiologists believed there were four fluids —blood, phlegm, cboler or yellow bile, and melancholy or black bile. The relative proportions of each, they reasoned with seeming logic, determined a jjerson’s mood. Hence came the expresislons good humor and ill humor. But, under tbe wear and tear of usage, words shift their meanings.
