THE CENTRE REPORTER, & CENTRE HALL, PA. er —— eer ———————————— po — —— By EDWARD W. PICKARD RR EXUBLICANS were highly grat- ified by the results of the Michi- gan primary election for two rea- sons: First, because three out of five person who went to the polls asked for Republi- can ballots; second, bec a us e Senator James Couzens, a Republican who has openly declared that he is supporting President Roosevelt for re-election, lost his fight for re- . nomination. C o u z- ens, one of the Sen. Couzens wealthiest members of the senate, was badly defeated by former Gov. Wilbur M. Brucker, and there is more than a suspicion that he knew kis fate beforehand. Brucker, who is only forty-two years old, has been in public life for almost twen- ty years. The Republicans re-nom- governorship.

Alf M. Landon, the Republican Presidential nomi- nee, who made speeches there only a few days ago. Colonel Knox, vice presidential candidate on the Re- publican ticket, also had canvassed the state. Brann, who was elected governor in 1932 and re-elected two years later, was the first Democrat to hold that office in Maine and was personally popular. White was elected senator in 1930 after ten years in the house. ECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE ‘J WALLACE has approved the new $10,000,000 seed corn loan pro- sram of the AAA. The government will advance farmers two types of loans on seed corn stored on the farm. Advances of $1.75 a bushel ili be made to farmers on 1,000,- (00 bushels of selected corn. The government will have the option of buying this corn at $3.50 a bushel up to April 1, 1937. The second type of loan permits advances of 55 cents a bushel on ‘‘good quality and properly stored cribbed corn which can be sorted for seed at a later date.” On the latter type of loan the government retains the right to purchase the collateral at $1.50 a bushel until April 1 next. It is understood the Reconstruc- tion Finance corporation has agreed to advance up to $10,000,000 under the loan program. The loans will be made to farmers through the Commodity Credit corporation. The interest rate on the new loans will be 4 per cent, the same as was in effect under the old corn loan program. EDERAL government help in controlling their business has been asked by two large sections of the tobacco industry. The Retail Tobacco Dealers of America, Inc., representing about 300,000 retailers of tobacco prod- ucts, requested the federal trade commission to authorize a trade practice conference with a view for formulating rules for the elim- ination of unfair methods of compe- tition and trade abuses. Representatives from nine tobac- ¢: producing states wound up a two- day conference in Washington with a request addressed to the agricul- tural adjustment administration to draft a model production control bill. TO THE sixty-sixth annual con- gress of the American Prison association, held in Chicago, was presented a report from the com- mittee on crime prevention in which it was stated that the tactics of a certain class of lawyers in defend- ing persons charged with crime have the effect of encouraging crim- inals to repeat their offenses. The committee declared that 75 per cent of the prisoners now in penal insti- tutions in this country had been “literally faced about into a ca- reer of crime’ by their experiences with defense attorneys. The coaching of the attorney tended to help the defendant find an alibi for his misdeeds and a sed- ative for his conscience, accord- ing to the report, when public wel- fare should have guided the lawyer to conduct “which would quicken the sensibilities of the prisoner and awaken him to his owi. misdeeds.” The committee recommended more scientific methods in prevent- ing and combating crime and it esti- mated that the country's annual crime cost is $15,000,000,000—""one- fourth of the national income; half of the war debt.” F OR the first time in seven years the United States is to have a squadron in European Atlantic wa- ters. It is known as ‘Squadron 40- temporary’ and Rear Admiral Ar- thur P. Fairfield was named as its commander. Admiral Fairfield hoisted his flag aboard the light cruiser Raleigh at the Norfolk navy vard and sailed for Gibraltar. At first the squadron will consist of the flagship Raleigh, the destroyers Kane and Hatfield and the coast guard cutter Cayuea, but navy of- ficials expected its strength would be increased soon. The Hatfield, Kane and Cayuga had been on emergency duty in of the Spanish revolt until they were withdrawn to nearby neutr:l ports following the attempted bombing of the Kane by an unknown plane off Cadiz last August 30. IT IS pleasant to turn from war and politics and read o. the do- ings at Cambridge, Mass., where Harvard university is celebrating the tercentenary of its founding.

President James B. Conant greet- ed the guests, accepted their cre- dentials and delivered a simple address of welcome. He noted that the assembly was an impressive demonstration of the solidarity of the academic world, and saw in the greetings of the delegates ‘‘the con- tinued aspiration of mankind toward a universal fellowship based on hu- man reason."’ Responding on behalf of the dele- gates, Prof. Elie Cartan of the Uni- versity of Paris paid tribute to Har- vard's contributions to education and declared that ‘‘no barrier, po- litical, religious or social, should be erected to stop the search for truth.” When the delegates were called up in the order of the age of the institutions they represented, first to respond was Prof. Saleh Hashem Attia of Al-Azhar university of Cai- ro, founded in 970. Then came the next oldest, the Regia university, Neglie Stuni Bologna, founded in the Tenth century, and represented by Prof. Carrado Gini. Third was the University of Paris, founded in the Eleventh century, whose repre- sentative was Dr. Cartan. Oxford, Cambridge and all the others fol- lowed, down to the youngest repre- sented, the Academia Sinica of Nan- king, China. World famous educators, scien- tists and men of letters including ten Nobel prize winners, were among those who attended the reception. J RANCE'S famous polar explor- , Dr. Jean Charcot, and 59 of the crew of 60 aboard the explora- tion ship Pourquoi Pas were drowned when the vessel foundered in a gale off the Iceland coast. One petty officer swam ashore and told of the tragedy. Charco. led two ex- peditions to the Antarctic and a re- gion there is named for him, Char- cotiand.

In greeting and blessing some five hundred Span- ish refugees who were received at Castel Gandolfo, the holy father took oc- casion to denounce strongly the “mad” forces of Commu- nism which, he de- clared, menaced, in Spain and else- where, ‘‘the very foundations of all tion." He urged the constituted authorities of all nations to oppose “these great evils with every reme- prophesied that there will be utter chaos if “those who have a duty in the matter do not hasten to repair the breach—if, indeed, it is not al- ready too late.” The pope spoke especially of the situation in Spain, but said the crisis there is “a school in which the most serious lesson is being taught to Europe and to the whole world— to a world now at last wholly steeped, ensnared and threatened Ly subversive propaganda, and more especially to a Europe bat tered and shaken to its very founda- tion.” For forty minutes the pontiff spoke passionately, his voice at times broken with emotion, and his address was iransmitted by radio to all the civilized world. Reichsfuehrer Hitler, too, took another hard whack at the Com- munists at a ceremonial tribute to the World war dead in Nuremberg. Before 120,000 uniformed Nazis and 50,000 others he boasted of Ger- many's armed strength and shouted: “Our old enemy, bolshevism, is vanquished within Germany, but still active around her borders. But let no one be deceived. We are ready at any hour. We all have one wish—to maintain peace — but with it goes one firm decision: Never to surrender Germany to that enemy we have come to know so well.” If Hitler, as some think, tries to lead the coming five-power Locarno conference into forming an anti- Soviet alliance, he will be firmly opposed by France. Foreign Min- ister Yvon Delbos says so, and de- clares France will under no circum- stances abandon her military pact with Soviet Russia. According to Pravda, authorita- tive newspaper of Moscow, Hitler plans to attack and partition Czecho- slovakia before he embarks on a war against the Soviet union. Benito Mussolini and hjs cabinet appropriated large sums to build up Italy's army, navy and air forces to greater strength and planned to carry on vigorously the campaign for self-sufficiency in raw materials. It looked as if the dove of peace was preparing to leave Europe, and as relations between Japan and China grew more strained every day, she probably will have to take refuge on the western continent, HE Spanish rebels scored their greatest victory to date when they captured San Sebastian, cap- ital of Guipuzcoa province and fa- mous Bay of Biscay resort. Santa Barabara fort, dominating the city, was first taken and the city's war council then decided to abandon the place, despite the opposition of the anarchists. The more conservative Basque nationals prevented the reds from burning the city, only a paper factory and two residences being destroyed, and the defending forces retreated toward Bilbao, accompa- nied by thousands of civilians and foreigners. Insurgent troops, com- manded by Col. Jose Beorlegui, marched in and were ceremonious- ly reviewed, and the bishop of Pam- plona officiated at a thanksgiving service. The municipal governor, Antonio Ortega, and his staff boarded a yacht to go to new headquarters at Zumaya, about 15 miles west of San Sebastian. The new line of defense was established at Orio. Government spokesmen claimed considerable victories in the Tala- vera sector southwest of Madrid and not far from the Portuguese border. ment has discovered that a recent small fire on the cruiser Indianapolis while she was being overhauled in the New York navy yard was caused by the driving of phonograph needles and nails in- pected sabotage on war vessels is cruiser was being done by civilian industrial manager of the of the Dunn, yard, said the placing the cruiser. ECRETARY OF AGRICUL. farmers for the purpose of laying out the “agricultural conservation Adventurers’ “No Dice” By FLOYD GIBBONS, Famous Headline Hunter IN ow the moral of this story, boys and girls, is that gambling “+ doesn’t pay. Not that I need any story to convince me of it. I once bet two bucks on a horse I thought would come in first at Saratoga, and the next time I saw him was two years later, pulling the steam calliope in a circus parade in Denver, Yep, it's risky business letting a horse invest your money for you, but not half as risky as the chances Lieutenant Tommy Griffin, of the Eighteenth infantry, Fort Wadsworth, N. Y., took when he started woo- ing Lady Luck that fateful July night back in 1922. Lieutenant Tommy has gone a long way in the army since 1922. Then he was just plain Private Tommy, of the One-Hun- dred and Seventeenth field artillery, a national guard outfit of Goldsboro, N. C. The One-Hundred and Seventeenth was doing its regular two weeks’ field work at Fort Bragg. It was a hot night, and some of the boys were holding cavalry maneuvers on a blanket in one of the tents. For horses they were using little white, spotted cubes, and those ‘horses’ were galloping back and forth across the blanket in a way that would have scared an enemy army out of at least six weeks’ pay. Tommy and Pal Are Attracted by Galloping Ivories. Of course, an unsympathetic officer of the day might have suspected that those fellows were shooting craps, but I'm going to take Tommy's word for it that those shouts of “Come on, seven!’ that came from the tent, were just the cries of excited rooters who wanted to see the Seventh regiment win Tommy and a friend were coming back from an evening in a nearby town whe they heard the boys cheering the Seventh regiment on. There was also a lot of encouragement being given to Big Dick, who, I presume, was the captain eof the Seventh regiment, and Little Joe, who must have been the first lieutenant, The rooting attracted Tommy and his pal, and they dropped into the tent to see what was going on. There were three men in the tent—a sergeant named Joe and two privates, Bili and John. The sergeant had been drinking, and he rolled The Argument Got Pretty Hot for a Minute. out the ivories with a sort of grim determination. He had lost several dollars, and Tommy could see that he wasn't taking it any too well. Losing Sergeant Returns to Make Trouble. The other two lads were in a jovial mood, though neither one of them had imbibed any alcohol. John had the dice and Tommy watched him while he set a point, made it, and picked up his winnings. And it was right there that the friendly game began to take on a serious aspect Joe, the sergeant, claimed that John hadn't won the money and told him to put it down. There was an argument that got pretty hot for a minute, but in the end John put the dough back just to humor him, and the play was resumed. A couple more throws and Joe left, weaving his way unsteadily out of the door. But a few minutes later he was back again, a .45 revolver in his hand and an ugly scowl! on his face. Joe was looking for trouble. That much was plain to everybody. He began to accuse John of talking about him behind his back. His finger was tight against the trigger, and looking over, Tommy could see the yellow of cartridge rims in the chamber of the gun. There was no joke about it. That get was loaded. Drunken Maniac’'s Bullet Wakes John Up. Tommy didn't wait for any more. He made a leap for Joe and grabbed the gun. But Joe kept his grip on the revolver, too, and the pair of them rolled over on the tent floor, fighting desperately for pos- session of the weapon. Says Tommy: “I wasn't sure I could hold him long, and I yelled to John to go away. He just sat there looking at me. Then suddenly Joe pulled the trigger. There was a sharp crack that deafened me for a minute, and a bullet whizzed by my head and ripped on out through the top of the tent. I should have been scared then, but I wasn't. At that moment I was too excited to feel the effects of fear.” And still John sat calmly on his cot, watching Tommy wrestle with the drunken maniac. Whether he was dazed or scared stiff or just thought it was all a joke, Tommy never learned. But he sat there until another shot rang out, and this time the Bullet hit John in the hip. That broke the spell. John leaped to his feet and streaked out of the tent. Tommy says he's never seep & man run so fast in his life. Tommy Stares Into the Muzzle of a .45. Tommy was tired by that time-—dead tired. Joe was strong as a bull, and he knew he'd never be able to get that gun away from him. “John was gone,” he says, “and I didn’t think Joe would shoot me. 1 took a chance and let him go. He got up, drunk and furious, and for a full minute I lay on the ground staring into the muzzle of the 45. That's when 1 did get scared. 1 have never seen a gun muzzle grow to look so large. I expected every second to be my last, and I began wishing he would shoot and get it over with. But no! He just stood there, fingers con- vulsing on the trigger, face purple with rage. llolpeliold ® @ Questions If you have no individual molds, jellies may be molded in muffin tins.
