Talmadge Dr of the New Deal. Talmadge, though highly elated, declined to comment or to make any announcement at the time. The platform adopted by the meet- | ing called for preservation of the Con- | stitution, of state sovereignty and of the American form of government. It accused President Roosevelt of aban. doning faith In the Constitution and the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson and of “repudiating, abandoning, and side- tracking” the platform on which he was elected in 1932, It sald: “We do not regard the oecupant of the White House as a Democrat, “He has broken the pledge of our party and violated the platform of 1032, “We here today affirm our faith In that doctrine.” It is not easy yet to estimate the possible results of the Talmadge move ment, The administration leaders re- fuse to take the Georgia governor seriously or to admit that he can Im peril thelr control of any of the south- ern states, The situation In the South is fur | ther complicated by the sudden death of Gov.

Smith of South Carolina sald he “personally had some doubts” | as to its constitutionality. The meas | ure would enable the secretary of ag- | riculture to remove 30000000 acres from cultivation and give him even wider powers than he had under the AAA, It was evidently headed for a hot debate on the senate floor. Secretary Wallace let it be known | that officials of the Agriculture, Treas | ury and Justice departments were co- | operating in an effort to collect for the | government the $200000000 ordered | returned to processors by the Supreme court, but he gave no details of the plan. In referring to this court order in a radio talk, Mr, Wallace went far. ther In criticism of the Supreme court than has any other official of the ad ministration. He declared it was “the most gigantic legalized steal in his tory.” Representative Allen T. Tread: way 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 heard the last of this - ANSAS Republican state commit. tee members, the Kansas Day club and many party leaders from the Mis. sourl valley region, celebrating Foun- ders’ day in Topeka, presented to the coun- try Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas as their choice for the Repub lican Presidential nom- ination. In a speech to the banqueters the governor told what he hoped to do for the nation if he were nom- inated and elected. X Refraining from “‘sub- stituting epithets for Gov. Landon arguments,” be offered a program for ending federal extravagance and re. storing prosperity. Replying to the query “What would for agriculture through a soil conser vation program with the honest pur. pose of saving the fertility of Ameri can farms, The governor pledged himself to old sion and improvement of civil service, and the utilization by the federal gov- ernment of specially trained minds as he has used them in Kansas—"to col- lect facts, not to administer theories.” His own best recommendation of himself he gave in three succinct par- agraphs summarizing his budget bal- ancing achievements. pAYMENT of the veterans’ bonus by means of baby bonds payable on de- mand was enacted into law by con- gress, and the money for the ex-sol- diers may be available on July 1. The Harrison compromise bonus bill that went through the senate and house easily, was vetoed by President Roose. velt. The house Immediately and en- thusiastically repassed the measure, The senate was a little more deliber- ate, but within three days it, too, had overridden the disapproval of the Chief Executive, and the bill was made law, The vote In the senate was 76 to 19. In the house it had been 324 to 61. It was a notable fact that all the senators—985 in number, for Huey Long's successor has not yet taken his seat—were present and voting, Notable, but not strange when one remembers this is an election year. Fifty-seven Democrats, 16 Republicans and 3 Rad- lcals—La Follette of Wisconsin, Ship. stead and Benson of Minnesota-—voted for the bill, while 12 Democrats and 7 Republicans voted against it. 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 Morgenthan sald that the payment would be the most difficult mechanical task the treasury had faced in Its history. “ E CAN either take on the man- tie of hypocrisy, or we can take a walk; and we'll probably do the latter ™ These words of Al fred E. Smith In his speech at the Ameri can Liberty league dinner In Washington were perhaps the most interesting and signifi. cant of his utterances he professed to De speaking for “the dis ciples of Jefferson. Jackson and Cleve Al Smith land” and concerning their action In the Democratic national convention next June when the dele gates are asked to Indorse the doings of the Roosevelt administration.

Of 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 un. dismayed 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 hig Liberty league speech never once named President Roosevelt but he specifically put oan that gentleman the full blame for repu- dination of most of the planks in the Democratic platform of 1082, which he declared was the best ever put forth in this country, Senator Robinson's reply to Al Smith's speech consisted in the maln of quotations from previous utterances by Smith Ia which he advocated a course quite as radical as that pursued by the New Dealers in combating the depres slon. He jeered at the New Yorker for abandoning the streets of the west side for the palaces of Park avenue and trading his brown derby for a silk topper, and denounced him as a de. serter In the face of the enemy. CTIVITIES of the Townsend old age pension advocates are proving most armoying to many congressmen, and it is likely they will be Investigated, A resolution for such an Inquiry was in- troduced by Representative Jasper Bell of Missouri, Democrat, It charged that for 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™ ASHINGTON wants to know who ordered the United States Marine band to walk out at the women's pa- Probably it was Assistant Secretary of { | { introduced In congress demanding an investigation, The difficulties arose out of a speech bridge Colpy, a Democrat who sald Thereupon the band walked out, and certain navy officers refused to deliver scheduled speeches before the ference.

Regnier is re tained as finance minister, and he is committed to the Laval policy of de. fending the franc, Flandin went to London for the funeral of King George, and it is ro- mored in Paris that he would sound out British bankers on the subject of a loan of three billion francs which the French treasury sorely peeds With Laval in the discard, the British might look on this suggestion with favor, R. HUGH 8. CUMMING announced that on February 1 he would re- tire as surgeon general of the United States public health service, “becanse of long service and health that isn't too good.” He has been in the service since 1804 and has had four terms as its head, His administration is cred- ited with completion of the quarantine system; inmuguration of prelmmigra- tion examinations at American con sulates; establishment of a national leprosarium and national narcotic farms, and construction of eight ma- rine hospitals It was believed In Washington that President Roosevelt would appoint as the new surgeon general Dr. Thomas H. Parran, Jr, state health commis sioner of New York and assistant sur- geon general on leave, JURY In the United States District court in New York returned ver. dicts of gulity against acting Capt. William F. Warms and three code fendants in the criminal negligence trial resulting from the disastrous fire that swept the Morro Castle off Asbury Park, September 8 1034, taking a toll of 134 lives. Besides Warms, those convicted were Eben Starr Abbott, chief engineer of the burped ship; Henry E Cabaund, executive vice president of the New York & Cuba Mall Steamship com- pany, operators of the Ward Line, and the New York & Cuba company itself. DOLF HITLER has just completed three years as the ruler of Ger many, and the anniversary was cele brated by the Nazis with triumphant rejoicing. Addressing 26000 Nami storm troop veterans, the reichsfuehrer declared : “Whoever opposes us now does it not because we are Nazis, but because we restored military Independence to Ger many.” 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 far as the London four-power conference is concerned, owing to the unsettled condition of world affairs and the defection of Japan. However the parley made some progress toward an agreement on the sizes of ships and calibers of guns when the Americans, French, and Italians accepted a new British com. promise plan as a basis for discussion, The plan proposes battleships with a maximum of 85,000 tons, the existing limits; 14 Inch guns instead of the present 16 inch ones, which would be eliminated; and an entirely separate category for destroyers, placing them in a classification with small crulsers. Water Used for Money in Australian Drouth Sydney.—Water has been used as currency during the recent drouth In the goldfields at Tennaut's Creek, cen. tral Australia. Seven miles from the settlement Is the only well that ean be relied upon to supply the thirsty miners and their families. Each day, with the drawing of several thousands of gallons, the well runs dry. To obtain the Jifegiv- ing fluid families must arrive early nnd | they do. Water vessels are filled, blankets and rugs are soaked and the water queue has become a part of gold fields life. Nowhere else within a radius of 50 miles is there really good drinking wa- ter to be found. All the other water holes have dried up months ago, for Tennant's Creek has had only one fall of rein In six months. Feverish at tempts to locate water by boring have resulted In finding only brackish fluld too heavily charged with salts to be of use even for washing, 80 water has become a form of ex- change, A carpentering job was recent. ly paid for in 80 gallons of water.

Indeed I believe this is In | Af way a more important factor with women than with men. By that | mean that while men may "eat up” admiration from the other sex, that is not the motivating factor of their interest in them: while with some women delight in masculine admira- tion is largely the root of their enjoy- ment of the society of the other sex, But-—women are not so “eazy” as men, A homely weman does not easily accept a man's insistence that she is beautiful, but many a bald, fat man has been convinced he is an Adonis, Women can be flattered, on Therefore the man who is wise will discriminate In his flattery.
