News Review of Current Events the World Over Southerners Launch Talmadge’s Presidential Boom— Kansas Offers Landon to Republicans —Bonus Bill Passed Over Roosevelt’s Veto. By EDWARD W. PICKARD • WMtwe Newspaper Union.

TWO THOUSAND or more “grass root" Democrats, representing 17 southern and border states —though most of them were Georgians—assem-

bled in Macon, Ga M and with wild yells launched the boom of Gov. Eugene Talmadge for the Democratic Presidential nomination. They adopted a motion asking him to run as a constitutional Democrat who is opposing what they called the “theorists, crackpots, brain trusters and professors" of the

B Gov. Talmadga

New DeaL Talmadge, though highly elated, declined to comment or to make any announcement at the time. The platform adopted by the meeting called for preservation of the Constitution, of state sovereignty and of the American form of government It accused President Roosevelt of abandoning faith in the Constitution and the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson and of “repudiating, abandoning, and sidetracking" the platform on which he was elected tn 1932. It said: “We do-not regard the occupant of the White House as a Democrat “He has broken the pledge of our party and violated the platform of 1932. “We here today affirm our faith in that doctrine." It Is not easy yet to estimate the possible results of the Talmadge movement The administration leaders refuse to take the Georgia governor seriously or to admit that he can Im■■peril their control of any of the southern states. The situation In the South is further complicated by the sudden death of Gov. O. K. Allen of Louisiana. He was the devoted and complaisant adherent of Huey Long and had been selected to flu out /the unexpired term of the late Lieutenant Governor Noe succeeded to the governorship. but who win now be the leader of the Long forces was not Immediately determined. WHAT is known as the BankheadJones bill for soil the administration’s substitute for the AAA, was given the hesitant approval of the senate agricultural committee by a vote of 15 to 2, although Chairman Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina said he “personally bad some doubts" as to its constitutionality. The measure would, enable the secretary of agriculture to remove 90,000,000 acres from cultivation and give him even wider powers than be had under the AAA. It was evidently headed for a hot debate on the senate floor. Secre””-- Wailace let.lt be known that officials of the Agriculture. Treasury and Justice departments were cooperating in an effort to collect for the government the *200,000,000 ordered returned to processors by the Supreme court, but be gave no details of the plan. In referring to this court order in a radio talk, Mr. Wallace went farther in criticism of the Supreme court than has any other official of the administration. He declared it was “the most gigantic legalised steal tn history." Representative Allen T. Treadway of Massachusetts asserted on the floor of the house that "any official who will make a statement of that nature about the Supreme court ought to be Impeached." Mr. Wallace may not have beard the last of this. KANSAS Republican state committee members, the Kansas Day club and many party leaders from the Missouri valley region, celebrating Foun-

der*’ day In Topeka, presented to the country Gov. Alf Landon of Kansu u their choice for the Republican Presidential nomination. la a speech to the banqueters tbe governor told what he hoped to do for tbe nation If he were nomIn*ted and elected. Refraining from “xubstitutlng epithet* for

Replying to the query “What would you dor Mr. Landon proposed relief for agriculture through a roll conservation program with the honest purpose of aaving tbe fertility of American farm* and not merely tbht of providing a blind for further dispensation of AAA checks. The governor pledged himself to old age pensions. He recommended exten sion and Improvement of civil service, •nd the utilisation by the federal government of specially trained minds u he has used them in Kansas— “to collect facts, not to administer theories."

Fifty-seven Democrats, 16 Republicans and S Rad* icals—La Follette of Wisconsin, Shipstead and Benson of Minnesota —voted for the bill, while 12 Democrats and 7 Republicans voted against it The galleries were Ailed and there was wild cheering when the vote was announced. Republican senators amused themselves and the spectators by twitting the Democrats on their failure to stand by their chief, the most voluble of the twitters being Senator Hastings of Delaware. Informed of the vote, President Roosevelt at once ordered government departments to prepare for payment of the bonus certificates as quickly as accuracy will permit Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau said that the payment would be the most difficult mechanical task the treasury had faced In Its history. Be said the treasury would need >2,500.000 and the veterans* administration >5,000.000 to Increase the force to take care of the job. More than Seven million Interest calculations will be necessary.

their action in the Democratic national convention next June when the delegates are asked to indorse tbe doings of the Roosevelt administration. There could be no mlsunderstandingSmlth’s meaning, and he must now be considered the leader of the conservative Democrats in their revolt against the policies of the New Dealers. The concern of. the administration Democrats Is now as to bow extensive will be. the bolt; and whether the conservatives will put up their own ticket, support the Republican nominee or merely stay away from the polls. Os course In any case the Republican cause will be aided materially, unless the guesses of Its leaders are all wrong. New Deal Democrats were quite undismayed by the Smith speech, which they declared was weak and Ineffective. They announced that Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of the senate would deliver the official reply in a radio address. Mr. Smith in bls Liberty league speech never once named President Roosevelt but be specifically put ou that gentleman the full blame for repudiation of most of the planks tn the Democratic platform of 1932, which be declared was the best ever put forth in this country. “Millions and millions of Democrats just like myself, all over the country, still believe that platform." be shouted. “And what we want to know is why It wasn’t carried out And listen. There Is only one man in the United States of America that can answer that question." Senator Robinson’s reply to Al Smith's speech consisted in the main of quotations from previous utterances by Smith In which he advocated a course quite as radical as that pursued by the New Dealers la combating the depression. He Jeered at the New Yorker for abandoning the streets of the west side for the palaces of Park avenue and trading bls brown derby for a silk topper, and denounced him as a deserter In the face of the enemy. ACTIVITIES of the Townsend old age pension advocates are proving most annoying to many congressmen, and it Is likely they will be Investigated. A resolution tor such an Inquiry was Introduced by Representative Jasper Bell of Missouri. Democrat. It charged that tor several years “Individuals and groups" have “conceived and promoted numerous schemes under the pretext of obtaining pensions for the aged and needy" and that now “several groups of fraudulent promoters are enriching themselves by working the so-called pension plan racket" there are perhaps 50 or 60 votes in the Townsend bloc la the house, so there were prospects for a lively fight over the resolution.

These words of Alfred R. Smith to bls speech at tbe American Liberty league dinner in Washington were perhaps tbe most interesting and significant of hls utterances on that occasion, for he professed to be speaking for "the disciples of Jefferson. Jackson and Cleveland" and concerning

YIT ASHINGTON wants to know who ’ ’ ordered tbe United States Marine band to walk out at tbe women’s patriotic conference on national defense. Probably it was Assistant Secretary of tbe Navy Henry L. Roosevelt, but he would say nothing, so a resolution was introduced in congress demanding an investigation. The difficulties arose out of a speech before the women’s conference by Bainbridge Colby, a Democrat who said unkind things about the New Deal. Thereupon the band walked out. and certain navy officers refused to deliver scheduled speeches before the conference. The Republicans did not overlook the opportunities offered by the incident. XTOTEWORTHY among recent deaths ’ is that of George W. Wickersham of New York, who was attorney general of the United States in the Taft administration and for many years one of the country’s leading corporation lawyers. He was seventy-seven years old. and died of heart disease in a taxicab. Mr. ° Wickersham was chairman of the famous Hoover commission named to investigate prohibition and other law enforcement In 1929- The commission’s report opposed repeal, but tbe document was accompanied by tbe members* individual statements in which,a majority urged repeal or modification of the eighteenth amendment The net result was confusing. %such good work; overlooked by the public In the controversy over prohibition, nevertheless was done by tbe commission. Its exhaustive reports, filed early tn 1931. covered many phases of the crime problem and were regarded as important contributions in that field. DR. HUGH S. CUMMING announced that on February 1 he would retire as surgeon general of the United States public health service, “because of long service and health that isn’t too good." He has been In tbe service since 1894 and has had four terms as its head. His administration Is credited with completion of the quarantine system: Inauguration of preimmigration examinations at American consulates; establishment of a national leprosarium and national narcotic farms, and construction of eight marine hospitals. Hls Influence in control and treatment of bubonic plague and yeliow fever has been world wide. Many nations have honored him with decorations. It was believed In Washington that President Roosevelt would appoint as the new surgeon general Dr. Thomas H. Parra n, Jr n state health commissioner of New York and assistant surgeon general on leave. A JURY in the United States District court in New York returned verdlcts of guilty against acting Capt. Wiliiam F. Warms snd three co-de-fendants in the criminal negligence trial resulting from the disastrous fire that swept the Morro Castle off Asbury Park, September 8, 1934. taking a toll of 134 Ilves. Besides Warms, those convictefl were Eben Start Abbott, Thief engineer of the burned ship? Henry E. Cabaud. executive vice president of tbe New York A Cuba Mail Steamship company, operators of the Ward Line, and the New York A Cuba company Itself. Charges of negligence and cowardice on tbe part of officers and crew of the liner were made by survivors testifying at ths trial. Abbott was shown to have scrambled into one of tbe first lifeboats put overboard after ordering an assistant to go below and investigate the progress of the fire. Warms was accused of delaying the sending out of an BOS until it was too late. FRANCE’S new government, under Albert Sarraut as premier. It is hoped will stand up until the spring elections. If it does, the results will

not be happy for Italy for It will take a much stronger stand in support of tbe League of Nations than did that of Laval. The new foreign minister .is Pierre-Etienne Flandin, noted for hls proBritish tendencies; and Joseph PauLßoncour. no friend of Mussolini, is the minister of state concerned chiefly with

Albert Sarraut

league affairs. In other respects there Is nothing especially notable about the Sarraut cabinet Regnier Is retained u finance minister, and be Is committed to tbe Laval policy ot defending the franc. Flandin went to London for tbe funeral of King George, and It is rumored in Paris that be would sound out British banket* on the subject of a loan of three billion franca which tbe French treasury sorely needs. With Laval In tbe discard, the British might took on this suggestion with favor. ADOLF HITLER hu just completed three years u tbe ruler of Germany, and tbe anniversary wu celebrated by the Nazis with triumphant rejoicing. Addressing 26.000 Nazi storm troop veterans, the relchsfuebrer declared: “Whoever opposes us now does It not because we are Nazis, but because we restored military independence to Germany.” Hitler spoke 25 minutes, claiming the Nazi movement has brought unity to the nation and adding: “We seek peace because we love It, but we insist on our honor because we do not live without It" MAJOR reductions in naval tonnage are "out" so for as the London four-power conference Is concerned, owing to the unsettled condition of world affairs and tbe defection of Japan. However the parley made some progress toward an agreement on tbe sizes of ships and calibers of guns when the Americans. French, and Italians accepted a new British compromise plan as a basis for discussion. The plan proposes battleships with ■ maximum of Ekfißß ton* the existing Hurtts; 14 inch gun* Instead of the present 16 inch one*, which would be eliminated; and an entirely separate category for destroyer*, placing them in a classification with small cruiser*.

NATIONAL PRESS BLDG. WASHINGTON. D.C.

Washington.—The American Liberty league has laid aside its swaddling clothes and has Liberty League put on long pants Steps Out in tbe field of polItlcs. Although comparatively new "as a group and promoted consistently as nonpartisan. the league can now be said to have plunged headlong into the political warfare. If its first big rally can stand as a criterion. Its influence Is due to be felt in an Important way in the forthcoming national elections. This rally that really marked the league's campaign debut was a picturesque thing. It was picturesque first because of tbe time and the place and the very nature of the thing and the manner of approach to the voters of the country but it was more picturesque and more important as well because the headline speaker was Alfred E. Smith, one time Democratic candidate for Hie Presidency, and by all odds the most colorful And pungent speaker of the present day. It was a dinner of more than 2,000 persons—from every state in the Union—and it was held in exactly th«= same rooms of the Mayflower hotel here where two weeks earlier President RmJserolt had addressed about the sames number of persons at the Jackson day 350-a-plate dinner. As a-further note of interest, attention might be called to the fact that the meeting was presided over by Borden Burr, a lifelong Alabama Democrat, and the other speakers were Dr. Neal Carothers, a Southern Democrat, long head of the economics department of Lehigh university in Pennsylvania. and former Federal Judge Charles I. Dawson of Louisville, Ky., a Republican. I referred above to Mr. Smith as being a colorful speaker, and from all of the comments I have heard. It seems to be tbe consensus that never has he, justified, the description better than In his league speech. He was Introduced by Mr. Burr as “Al Smith of America," and proceeded to assure his audience that Included millions listening by radio that he placed patriotism above party, that he was a candidate for no office under the sun. that he had no ax to grind and that such critical shots as he might take were without personal animosity for anyone. But be did not pull his punches when be pilloried the New Deal and he showed no mercy when he drew the deadly parallel between the Democratic platform of 1932 and the policies which Mr. Roosevelt had carried through. T bfilieve if may be laid that he reached tbe peak of hls speech when he laid on the speaker’s stand copies of the Democratic platform of 1932 and the Socialist platform of the same year and in his best East side twang he challenged anyone to deny that Mr. Roosevelt had been elected on a Democratic ticket and had carried out the Socialist promises. The President’s “breathing spell" utterance, his message to congress on the state of the Union, his staff of advisers, hls monetary policies formed other meaty subjects which the former governor of New York picked to pieces in his own Inimitable way. He begged congress to assert itself again and quoted from the Bible in hls plea it should return to the father’s house and be again one of the three branches of the federal government He said it took courage for a lifelong Democrat to say the things he was saying, but there is no gainsaying he displayed what it took. Through the speech was Mr. Smith’s chosen theme that a great danger lies ahead, a danger that the New Deal will destroy everything which he held had made America the outstanding nation that It Is. He accused the President of having arrayed class against class and asserted that what the nation faces is the most gigantic tax burden ever known. To this he added that it will not be the rich who will pay, nor the poor, but “that vast army of individuals with Incomes from a hundred dollars a month to five thousand dollars a year." Finally, in conclusion, Mr. Smith ■aid: "Let me give this solemn warning: There can be only one capital, Washington or Moscow. “There can be only one atmosphere of government, tbe clear, pure fresh air of free America, or the foul breath of communistic Russia. There can be only one flag, the Star and Stripes, or the flag of tbe godless union of the Soviets. There can be only one national anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner* or The Internationale.’ there can be only one victor. If our Constitution wins, we win. But if the Constitution—stop, stop there—the Constitution cannot lose." • a • * But what of the significance of the league dinner and the Smith speech? Prior to the dlnThe Smith Mr, tbe league’s exWalkout ecutive council met in secret Whether it committed the league to a definite stand was not formally announced, yet surely there are grounds upon which to base a statement that it means to support candidates and platforms on the conservative side. With equal emphasis. It can be said that Mr. Smith has walked out on that section of the Democratic party that sticks by Mr. Roosevelt. He said It was a choice either to “put on the mantle of hypocrisy or we can take a walk.” He explained it probably would be the latter course. And frankly it seems with tbe personal following that he has, a walkout by Mr. Smith cannot be described as otherwise than serious to tbe party from which that group Is defected. It has all of the earmarks of an interesting Inmwdiatv ly after Mr. Smith had spoken, quit*- a few Democrats in con-

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1936,

gross fired back at him and in defense of the New DeaL Men like Representative Doughton of North Carolina, a Democratic wheelhorse as chairman of the powerful ways and means committee; Speaker Byrnes, and a flock of others. .They insisted generally that the Smith barrage was more helpful to the Democrats than campaign speeches they themselves could make. Administration leaders in the executive departments are beginning to fire also, but they are smart enough to let the enthusiasm aroused by the speech die down before they attempt to upset arguments advanced by Mr. Smith. I have no doubt, from the signs even now cropping up, that an effort will be made in congress to discredit the league. It looks like Senator Black, Alabama Democrat and chairman of the senate lobby committee, probably will dig into the league’s files to show how it was financed to a large extent by such wealthy men as the Duponts, among others. Such an investigation likewise will carry an undercurrent of a movement to do away with political influence of such men as John J. Raskob, former Democratic national chairman, a league director, and Jouett Shouse, former executive chairman of the Democratic national committee and the league president If that fight gets started it will be a mudslinging beauty. So, summarized, the picture resulting from the league's dinner is that of a major feud, as well as a major political movement, because there is a really bitter fight between personalities in sight as well as the possibilities of a third party movement In the situation as it now stands, however, the Republican party holds the key. Smith and his following and the league membership generally can be counted in definite opi>osition to the New Deal and most all of Its works only on condition that a candidate and a platform, viewed by them as sound, are put forward by the Republicans. If the Republicans turn too far to the radical side in their efforts to match the Democratic position (which necessarily must be In support of everything the President has done), then, there is likely to be a third party, which would make predictions of the outcome worthless. • • • Congress frequently goes off on a tangent in which it will set about exposing this or that Digging or tbe other among Up Secmla ,he Practices of private business. In the last several years it has been particularly active in exposing to public view secrets of corporations and individual representatives and senators have blown off much steam concerning salaries paid business executives and they have directed criticism at private business as well for some of its other expenditures. A few years ago Senator Norris of Nebraska, among others, spoke at groat length in criticism of our government’s diplomatic service because of the salaries paid and the expenditures allowed for operation of our foreign diplomatic offices. The Norris attack apparently did considerable damage to the diplomatic service because it made many capable men fearful of entering that field where highly trained men are necessary. But all of the time during which criticisms have been leveled at private business on account of salaries paid business executives and because of other expenses, the senate itself has been going ahead from year to year using taxpayers’ money to suit its own purposes. For Instance, Col Edwin A. Halsey, secretary of the senate, lately has made public his annual report covering senate operations and it shows that the taxpayers’ money to the extent of >3.296,852 had been spent for maintenance of that one branch of congress. There are 96 senators, each of whom has an office staff;.there are some 30-odd committees in operation, each with a staff, and there is the regular senate organization with a large personnel. Consequently, salaries alone take up a considerable chunk of the total outlay, but Colonel Halsey’s report disclosed that general “contingent expenses" of the senate bad eaten up >701.000. Included in tills total of “contingent expenses" was an item of >236,000 for the cost of senate investigations in the last year. Almost half of this amount was used by the munitions investigation committee headed by Senator Nye„ Republican of North Dakota, who lately was made the subject of criticism on the senate floor because of his committee’ll attitude. • •. • . Congressional expenditures, and the house is as bail as the senate, long have been spoken of JfecAlesa in a humorous vein. Spending Ma “F times ,n past years the senate has “broken Into print" when some newspaper correspondent discovered what appeared to be new means of wasting money in order to provide additional comforts for the senators. For instance, It has been a practice a long time for the senate to supply its members and staff with mineral water, Washington city water being good enough for Ibi half million residents but unsatisfactory, or perhaps unhealthy, soy the senators, lee has to be supplied the senators and all sorts of service must be maintained to enable the legislators to work in comfort. High priced automobiles are maintained for the speaker of the house and for the Vice President who is president of the senate. £ach must have a chauffeur and the chauffeurs are paid like ether workers around tbe Capitol, out of the taxpayers’

Exercise and Study D® Not Affect Child’s Sleep The question of whether or not extremely active play or concentrated study by a child shortly before retiring affects the child’s sleep need not trouble mothers and teachers any longer for it is answered with authority by Dr. Glenville Giddings in “Your Child’s Sleep," an article tn Hygeia. The sleep patterns of a group of twelve children were recorded by an electric device on nights when' l they bad participated tn these activities and on normal nights. Comparison of tbe sleep patterns of the two periods showed conclusively, the author says, that intensive study of their school lessons or intensive «Aysical exercise In the late after■oon or early evening by normal children has no appreciable effect on their sleep.
