News Review of Current Events the World Over ■ Borah Loses Ohio Primary—House Defeats Frazier-Lemke Inflation Bill—Tugwell’a Report on His Resettlement Administration. By EDWARD W. PICKARD g Western Newspaper Union.

SENATOR WILLIAM BORAH banked heavily on success in the Ohio Presidential preference primary, but the Republicans of that state turned

him down decisively tn favor of their “favorite son," Robert A. Taft, son of the late President Taft. Os the 52 delegates to the Cleveland convention, Borah captured only five, the others, including the delegates at large, being Taft men. The winning delegation will be virtually unpledged, be-

Senator Borah

cause it will vote for Taft only on the first ballot. Mr. Borah did not take this defeat calmly. He gave out a statement in Washington accusing the Republican organization leaders of manipulating the votes of colored citizens against him by promising the passage of federal antl-lynching legislation which be has opposed as unconstitutional. The Idaho senator added: “The Republican party will go into the campaign laying great stress upon Constitutional Integrity and the preservation of state rights. "The men who are in control of the party, and who will likely be in control of the convention, will write Its platform and name its candidate, have already demonstrated that they care nothing about Constitutional Integrity or the preservation of state rights, that their talk on this subject is hypocritical and Intellectually dishonest" Ohio Democrats polled about 500,000 votes in the primary, nearly 100.000 more than the Republicans, and they expressed their preference for Mr. Roosevelt over Col. Henry Breckenridge to the tune of 16 to 1. They also renominated Gov. Martin L. Davey, who will be opposed by John W. Bricker, Republican, tn November. West Virginia also held primaries and there Borah and Roosevelt won easily over nominal opposition. The state’s Republican delegation, however, will go to the convention uninstructed. It is interesting to note that one of Ohio’s delegates at Cleveland will be Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of **T. R." and a spectator at many previous conventions.

WE ARE not going to have any currency Inflation, at least before next session of congress. The Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage refinancing bill, dragged out of committee by a petition signed by 218 house members, and then hotly delated for a day, was defeated by the decisive vote of 235 to 142. The bill called for the printing of three billion dollars for its financing. The petition signers Included 159 Democrats, and before the vote every one of them was told by Pat Boland of Pennsylvania, the party whip, that the President didn't want the measure passed at this time* and that if the member voted for the bill it would be just too bad for him. Besides this potent argument the Democratic leaders induced President William Green of the American federation of Labor to intervene and he called together the federation’s executive council and had It write a letter saying It was opposed to the bill because of the inflation feature. This was read to the house by Speaker Byrns and undoubtedly affected the vote, though some members resented being told what to do by Mr. Green. There was relief tn the White House when it was announced the President would not have to veto such a measure tn an election year. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT was supposed to have abandoned for the present the Florida ship canal and Passamaquoddy tidal power projects for which the bouse refused to appropriate further foods. But Senator Robinson of Arkansas was called to the White House for a conference and returned to the house to introduce a resolution authorizing the President to appoint engineering boards of review for the two schemes. The boards would present their findings by June 29, and, If favorable, the President would have authorisation to set aside 810.900,000 for the canal and $9,000,000 for Passamaquoddy out of available relief money. NEWTON D. BAKER and Dean Acheson, counsel, tor five power companies that are trying to block the government's municipal power program, met with defeat in the District of Columbia Supreme court when they sought to subpoena correspondence between President Roosevelt and Secretary Ickes. Jerome Frank, a New Deal attorney, stated that the President had directed that bls "privilege* of testimonial immunity be asserted In (be ease, and Chief Justice Wheat refused to issue the subpoena. Justice Oscar Luhring of the District Supreme court entered a formal order overruling the government’s motion for a continuance until ton of an Injunction suit brought by five privately owned Nebraska power companies to block the development of a “model state power ayntuHw" in their state. New Deal attorneys had wanted to try other cases before the Nebraska suit. IF THE house concurs in senate action, the title of Harold L. Ickes will be changed from secretary of the interior to secretary of conservation. A bIU making.the change was passed by the senate at the instance at Senator Lewis of Illinois. Two years ago, when Mr. Ickes was at the height of his power, be wanted the title altered to •secretary of conservation and works" and hoped that many of the agencies

of the Department of Agriculture would be transferred to his department. But Secretary Wallace objected strenuously, and latelv so much has been taken out of Mr. Ickes’ hands that Senator Lewis cut his bIU to the one paragraph, making the change of title and leaving off “and works." - WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATOR HARRY HOPKINS issued an order to state WPA directors instructing them not to employ armed guards, not to spy on workers and not to blacklist workers who organize. The order was issued following a conference with Victor F. Ridder, New York city WPA administrator, who employed a detachment of guards to protect his office against antl-WPA demonstrations ' which Mr. Ridder asserts were stirred up by Communists. OPPOSITION to the senate finance committee to the corporate profits tax In the administration’s $803,000,000 revenue bill was so strong that both Democrats and Republicans sought for some compromise. Treasury officials were heard In favor of the measure as passed by the house, but former treasury officials and various business and industrial leaders speaking in opposition were seemingly more persuasive. Senator Tom Connally of Texas put forward a plan be thought all might agree upon. It would retain the 15 per cent corporation Income tax and repeal only the capital stock and excess profits taxes. Instead of repealing all corporation taxes as proposed In the bouse bill. In addition it would superimpose a graduated tax on undistributed earnings, exempting the first 20 per cent on the amount retained. The house bill reaches a maximum of 42ft per cent of the total Income If none is distributed. Senator Byrd of Virginia, another of the Democrats opposed to the house bill, showed. In a letter to Secretary Morgenthan, that 11 of the largest corporations In the country would pay no taxes under the Roosevelt bi IL RESPONDING to a senate resolution, Rexford Tugwell made a report on the activities of the resettlement administration of which he Is the

head. He showed that it has 15,804 employees on the administration pay roll and has been allotted $275,549,944 to spend. Os this amount, the report stated, $98,347,005 has been spent and a total of $173,091,823 obligated, leaving $102,458,112 unincumbered. t Up to April 15, ac-

cording to the report, the resettlement administration had taken options on 9,670.000 acres of land, of which options on 8,409,000 acres, costing $36,344.000. bad become legal commitments. As of May 1, the report said, 59.521 persona. Including 3,581 on the CCC pay roll, were employed In connection with the land acquisition program. The report stated that a recent survey Indicated that “the purchase of approximately 24.000,000 acres of land would be needed to block to and round out" the existing projects and to establish a minimum number of new projects. Os 33 subsistence homestead projects, construction has been completed on 18, to in progress on 11 and final plans have been drafted for 4. The*geport lists four suburban housing projects, financed from a $31,000,000 allocation for this purpose. They are In Berwyn. Md., Bound Brook, N. K Milwaukee, and CincinnatL On rural rehabilitation, the report says the RA has cared for more than 800,000 families. For Its rehabilitation advances to Individual “clients," the adminlstratipo will expend $106,000,000 through June 30. There were more than 71,000 workera employed on projects financed by the organization during ApriL the report states, adding that the peak to expected to be reached during the summer with 100.000 workers.

At present it is merely “not participating" tn Its activities. The council bad adopted a new resolution virtually condemning again Italy’s aggression to East Africa and then adjqurned until June 15.

This was accomplished by the resignation of the cabinet and its reconstruction immediately with Von Starhemberg -left out Schuschnigg is not only chancellor but also minister of defense and foreign minister. Von Starhemberg had antagonized Schuschnigg by insisting on keeping up his own private army, the Heimwebr, and also by his friendliness toward Mussolini and hto general Fascist sympathies.

The dirigible was in the command of Capt. Ernst Lehmann, but be received far less attention here than did Dr. Hugo Eckener, the veteran skipper of Zeppelins. Eckener, in bad with the Nazis at home, was permitted to be aboard the ship as an “adviser." He and Captain Lehmann went to Washington together, while the ship was being groomed for the return flight, to call on President Roosevelt and other officials and return their greetings. On the return flight the Hindenburg traveled swiftly, reaching Frankfurt-on-Main 48 hours and 18 minutes after the departure from Lakehurst.

Washington.—With the national convention of the Republicans only a week away. New Deal See* to strategists are Durant G, O. P. bending every effort toward a program designed to make a knock-down and drag-out fight of that session. It to not disclosing any secret to say that the New Dealers are using this weapon up to the hilt because disruption of the Republican party would make victory easy for Candidate Roosevelt Predictions In politics always are perilous. Governor Alf M. Landon of Kansas seems to be in the lead at this time for the Republican nomination, but there are many observers throughout the country who contend that the “Kansas Coolidge" cannot win, and that various other aspirants for the nomination, men whose hats are in the ring, likewise must be counted out This to to say that a feeling to growing that a dark horse will be nominated. From the strictly Washington viewpoint which may be different than elsewhere In the country, astute political observers are convinced that there must be a swift change in sentiment to keep the nomination away from Governor Landon. Yet it must be said that politics is fraught with just such things and so it is entirely possible that the Republican nominee may be someone other than the present apparent leader in the race. Those who feel that Governor Landon will be the nominee claim he has played his cards welL But others insist that the Kansas governor made a bad mistake in allowing his name to be linked with the Hearst faction in California. Indeed, I have heard comment that this fact alone will defeat Governor Landon. • • • It has been Interesting to observe the maneuvers of the New Deal strategists with reference to the New Deal Landon boom. Some Strafery observers contend that the efforts being put forth from New Deal quarters In an attempt to discredit Governor Landon were being engineered because the New Deal fears Governor Landon as A Roosevelt opponent more than It fears some of the other candidates for the nomination. Frank R. Kent, the Washington commentator for the Democratic Baltimore Sun, asserted that the New Deal activity against Landon's nomination constituted “the best evidence of the Increasing probability" of the Kansas governor’s nomination. Mr. Kent did not say that which some other informed writers feel, namely, that the Landon candidacy would mean a bitter campaign on the part of the Roosevelt forces to re-elect the President Nevertheless, it bas been Interesting to note the various ways in which Roosevelt spokesmen and Democratic publicity men have been trying to show the country that Governor Landon Is not the man who should be nominated. I have no quarrel with these efforts. It is the game of politics. Virtually anything goes. It Is to be assumed that present Republican maneuvers will be concentrated In a few weeks on Mr. Roosevelt personally as the Democratic candidate. In fact, one bears expressions around Washington that for the first time In Mr. Roosevelt’s political career, he to going to be directly under fire. Just in this connection, one can recall that through most of the New Deal administration, criticism of New Deal policies and plans, almost without exception, was directed at Roosevelt appointees. The President himself has been exceptionally free from the type of personal attack that frequently characterizes political opposition. He bas had absolutely none of the kind of criticism that occurred In the Hoover administration and was directed at Harbert Hoover, personally. So, as we look at the campaign picture just ahead of the Republican convention and only a month In advance of the meeting of the Democrats at Philadelphia where President Roosevelt will be renominated, without opposition in hto own party, I think it can be said without fear of contradiction that both candidates this year are going to be smeared personally just as fast and as long as the ammunition holds out

■ - • • • While we are talking about the forthcoming quadrennial conventions, the two keynote speak- *«• era naturally enter Kirymten ,nto any discussion. Senator Aiben W. Barkley of Kentucky will do the keynoting for the Democrats at Philadelphia and Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon will deliver the main address to the Cleveland convention of the Republicans. Senator Barkley was the keynoter at the Chicago convention when Mr. Roosevelt waa nominated by the Democrats four years ago and, although It to a subject not freely discussed, It Is said in high places that Nr. Roosevelt wanted the same man to do the Job again, believing the Kentuckian to be an omen of good luck. The selection of Senator Steiwer was one of those things that can be said to be a surprise and yet not a surprise. Ba is, without doubt, a good man for the job. Yet; in soma quarter* there is a conviction that Senator Steiwer was picked by the so-called “Old Guard” of eastern Republicans. Some observers still hold the belief that the selection of Senator Steiwer was not wholly pleasing to the Landon forces but be that as it may, there has been no particular ill feeling created by it If it represents a piece of strategy by the eastern Republicans who were dealing with their problem by remote control, they apparently have played into the bands of the more liberal wing of Reptiblicans. It la being predicted rather freely that the Oregon senator’s keynote speech wUi lean strongly to the liberal side but that it will stress sound

The best advance Information obtainable on Senator Barkley’s plans Is that he will devote the bulk of his time on the convention platform to a review of Roosevelt accomplishments In the belief that such a review will take bls presentation out of the class of a “defense" speech. Those with whom I have talked concerning the Barkley speech believe be has adopted a smart political course; that he feels there is no need to defend anything that has been done and that the record itself is the thing upon which the Democratic party can make a plea for re-election of Mr. Roosevelt Having observed Senator Barkley In action in the senate for a number of years, I believe I am justified in saying that he to a square shooter and a fighter. In this respect he and Senator Stelwer, the Republican keynoter, are much the same type of man and, therefore, if either convention gets off on a wrong foot, the fault will lie with the convention managers rather than with the proposals offered by the men who are supposed to lay before the delegates a tough outline of their respective party’s campaign policies. Concerning the record of the keynoters in the senate, each stands foursquare. Senator Barkley has consistently battled in behalf of the President and New Deal policies throughout Mr. Roosevelt’s administration. Senator Stelwer has been just as consistent 'in his opposition. Certainly, Senator Stelwer has been much more outspoken against New Deal policies than most of his Republican colleagues, and much more so than Senator McNary. • • • For many months Washington has heard the plaint of business leaders who wanted to fight Fear socialistic schemes 'CracA Down* and unsound economic policies given birth by New Deal brain trusters but were afraid to do so because of “retaliation." Almost constantly, informa.tion has filtered Into Washington to the effect that if a corporation undertook to oppose New Deal plans vigorously, there was danger that some agency of the government would “crack down" on them. Much of this information has been taken by Washington observers with a grain of salt bnt a different aspect has been placed on the situation lately. It was in the senate that a New Deal Democrat, Senator Homer T. Bone of Washington, broke loose with state-’ meets that seemed to substantiate the fear voiced so frequently by business. Senator Bone charged that there was a veritable and “budding OGPU" organized within the government. The OGPU, as most persons realize, is the secret spy system of the Russian Soviet and I think no one in this country has a complete knowledge of. its vicious character. So, when Senator Bone likened the espionage system in our government to the OGPU, he was making, to my mind, one of the most serious charges yet leveled at the Roosevelt administration. Os course. Senator Bone was attacking this espionage system because of a feeling that it might be used to coerce members of congress and even executive or administrative officers of the government who were opposed to plans propagated by Presidential advisers. Hto thought obviously concerned the political phases of such a system, but the fact that he brought the matter to public attention serves, tn a measure, certainly, to substantiate some of the claims that business interests have made. I am tenable, however, to reconcile Senator Bone’s position respecting the OGPU which he charged was In operation within the government and hto utter silence when the obnoxious senate lobby committee, headed by Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama, engaged in the wholesale seizure of private telegrams. It will be recalled that I reported in these columns bow Senator Black and agents of the Federal Communications commission went into the files of the Western Union Telegraph company and carried off literally thousands of private telegrams. I was convinced then and I repeat it now that the Black seizure was nothing more than an attempt to dig np dirt on anybody against whom they could find discrediting information. Yet, Senator Bone, by his silence, condoned that course only to denounce later the systems of so-called “inspectors” used by Secretary Ickes of the Department of the Interior and reputedly by several other agendas of the government I can only hope that if Senator Bone’s charges are true that the usual condition will result namely, that there will be other spies to spy on these spies. • Wester* Nswspspsr Untoa. Word “Eugenics” Becomes Part of Other Languages The word eugenics to one of the scientific additions to the English language, and bas passed from the English into the other languages. Sir Francis Gallon, English anthropologist, and cousin of Charles Darwin, coined the word in 1885, from a Greek word meaning “well born." He defined the word as follows: “Eugenics to the study of the agencies under social control which may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations." Modern man and woman are the product of two factors: hereditary or* racial qualities from a line of ancestors that extends back beyond historical record, and the environment in which each being reaches maturity.

Therefore, eugenic proposals alm at social Ims provementa.
