WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON TEW YORK.—Among his com- L.

His somewhat mortuary get-up and behavior gave an impression great conservatism, and it is not failed. A few months ago, he said his Glenn L. Martin company, of Balti more, making planes, had a back log of $15,500,000. He told the house naval af- fairs committee there should be a 100 per cent increase in air armaments, that foreign nations are spending ten times as much as the United States. He would build a 250,000-pound bomber, carrying 30 men and a 4,000- pound bomb load 11,000 miles. an inflated inner tube around his Los Angeles, in a flying laundry wagon on which he had rigged a single wooden pontoon. He was away. It looked like suicide. He not only made it, but picked up again at Catalina and finished . the round trip, Round Trip blanking Bleriot, Sea Flight whose flight over Is Success the British nel was a one-way excursion. in an abandoned church. tion. Then he staged a plane coyote hunt, dropped a ball into a catcher’s of a beauty contest queen. This air extravaganza did not last long.

His son, William About Dress Jennings Bryan, Jr., is fussy about his dress, severe- ly and fastidiously groomed, with a jaunty little moustache and a nice collection of malacca sticks, sports clothes, and varied haberdashery. He is in the news now as he be- comes collector of customs at the port of Los Angeles, his first recog- nition by the California Democracy, in whose vineyard he has labored for years. When his father laid down his staff and scrip at Dayton, Tenn., he picked from the legacy only two things—free silver and anti- evolution. He is quite unmoved by oratory, speaking with calm, legalistic precision, with no gift for the resounding or oracular. He has made spirited against this or that, notably Upton will Speak Sinclair's “Epic” Good Word for Silver spired his father. Bryan, Jr., passioned fervor silver, or against evolution. After the Dayton trial and his fa- ther’s death, he made a knightly vow that his lance always should be leveled against this ignoble the- ory of man's origin. But nobody seems to be bringing that up now. The argument is shifting to where man is going. He attended the University of Ne- braska three years, studied law at Georgetown university, went to Ari- zona on account of his wife's health, and practiced law, first in Arizona and then in Los Angeles. He is fifty years old. © Consolidated News Features, WNU Service, Origin of Word Assassin The word assassin originated in Persia in the Eleventh century. It derives from hashish, the intoxicat- ing Indian drug which at that time was used by notorious murderers under one Hasan-i-Sabbah to work themselves into the high state of ruthlessness required for their crimes. As a tactic in attacking vested: authority assassination is as old as man. It is notably the most ubiquitous and immediate of dan- gers to autocratic government, as has been proved by the violent deaths of a high percentage of dic- tators from Julius Caesar to those of modern times.

Morgan as member and chairman of the Tennessee Valley authority, report- e= ed this action to con- gress special message, Washington visit to Springs, Ga. Thus the entire TVA row was thrown into the lap of congress, and senators and repre- sentatives continued to scrap over wheth- er an investigation of the huge project senatorial committee or by a joint committee of both houses. Mr. Roosevelt ousted Morgan after receiving from Acting Attorney Gen- in a and for a sessed the required authority. This is questioned by Senator Borah and other authorities, and it is presumed the matter will be taken up to the Supreme court. Morgan, who was in Chicago, consulted legal friends but would not announce his plans. Senator Bridges and some others hotly denounced the President's ac- tion as dictatorial and unjustified. The President told congress he had named Harcourt Morgan to suc- ceed A. E. Morgan as chairman of TVA, but he did not appoint his successor as a member of the board. Reasons for the removal of Mor- gan as given by the President were charges against his colleagues and White House hearings, and that he had obstructed the work of the au- thority. Efforts of administration ers in congress were exerted to see committee, Majority Leader Barkley declaring this a prime con- sideration. He favored inquiry by a joint committee of five members from each house. Senator Norris wanted it done only by senators, and . v VIDENTLY the house of repre- sentatives doesn't want any more TVA projects started while the affairs of the authority are in such a muddle. By a vote of 186 to 157 it refused to concur with the senate in appropriating funds to start construction of the $112,000,000 dam at Gilbertsville, Ky. In oppo- sition were 111 Democrats and 75 Republicans. The vote sent the matter back to conference. Months ago the house appropria- tions committee rejected the propo- sition to appropriate $2,613,000 to begin the Gilbertsville dam, and the house left the item out of the bill. The senate was induced by Norris and others to put it back, but still the house refused. ssf Profits Tax Out PAT HARRISON meant what he said about altering the revenue bill that was passed by the house. His senate finance committee is making the changes. By a vote of 17 to 4 it eliminated from the meas- ure the undistributed profits tax principle, substituting therefor a flat corporation income tax of 18 per cent. As a further means of stimulating business and investment the com- mittee adopted a provision dras- tically modifying the capital gains and losses tax. The committee re- moved capital gains on assets held instead a flat rate of 15 per cent, which was what business and indus- try wanted. In an effort to clear the way for legislation, the committee rejected system of processing taxes on wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, and rice, which the administration de- sires to finance proposed additional amounting to House Passes Navy Bill \ JITH only 100 votes in oppo- sition, the house passed the ad- billion dollar navy The measure authorizes con- American history by adding 46 com- bat ships, 22 auxiliaries and 950 air- planes.

That was the warning to Hitler ut- tered by Prime Min- ister Chamberlain in the house of com- Bg mons, in the most cae important statement A of British foreign policy since the World war. Declaring his belief that peace will be maintained, Chamberlain sald: “I cannot imagine any events in Europe which would change the fundamental basis of British for- eign policy, which is the mainte- nance and preservation of peace. However, that does not mean that nothing would make us fight.” Cheers greeted this declaration. Though he said central Europe was not an area where vital British in- terests: are at stake, he gave plain warning that if German aggression should result in war there, Britain might be forced into it. He urged peaceful settlement of Czechoslovakia’s German minority problem and offered Britain's help in this. He flatly turned down Soviet Rus- sia’s call for consultation against aggressor nations. The prime minister said that in the case of Italy's conquest of Ethio- pia a task beyond its powers was imposed on the League of Nations, and he admitted that his original belief in the league as an effective instrument for preserving peace was profoundly shaken. But he still believed the league might be strengthened Eression. revivified and A Members cheered this declara- tion, interpreting it as an invitation to the great powers outside the league—the United States, Ger- many, Japan, Brazil and Italy— to associate themselves with it, To Save CCC Camps EPRESENTATIVE WOODRUM of Virginia, a member of the appropriations committee, told the house congress soon will be called tinuation of the work relief pro- gram, and that, in anticipation of this, his committee has taken steps to keep open 300 Civilian Conserva- tion corps camps scheduled for clos- “I have discussed this matter with the President,” said Woodrum. “I learned that there is impounded in the Treasury the sum of $28,000,000 which congress appropriated for the CCC for the current year program and which will not be used.

He asserted that southern workers are underpaid and under-employed and warned that un- less this condition is changed the establishing successful new in- dustries, He attacked ‘'selfishness on the part of a few’ for holding back “national progress and prosperity,” and added: ‘This nation will never permanently get on the road to recovery if we leave the meth- ods and the processes of recovery to those who owned ment of the United States from 1921 to 1933." He referred sarcastically to those who insist on a balanced budget, but offer no suggestions on how this can be achieved without put- ting ‘‘dollars ahead of human lives." “They have the same type of said he, "as those represen- the people who vote against legislation to help social and nomic conditions, proclaiming are for the objec- do not like the methods and then fail utterly to offer a better method of their own."

Mexican Oil Seizures PE ESIDENT CARDENAS of Mexi- co announced the expropria- tion of oil properties belonging to American and British companies and valued at some $400,000,000. Wells, refineries and tankers were seized and workers took control of all company offices in the repub- lic. The American and British employees and their families fled. For the present the oil industry in Mexico was paralyzed. Cardenas made a public promise that the government would pay in- demnity for the seized oil proper- ties. Vicente Herrera was appoint- ed general manager of the new na- tional petroleum council. EE Tetlow Heads Coal Board ERCY TETLOW, a lieutenant of John L.

General Smig- ly-Rydz, chief of the Polish army and “strong man" of Po- land, had mobilized his troops on the Lithuanian border, «and Polish warships were cruising off Memel. So there was nothing for the Liths to do except give in. Pol- ish troops that had been concentrat- ed in Vilna paraded in celebration of the bloodless victory, but in Warsaw the celebration was dis- torted into a ‘pogrom’ in which riotous throngs attacked all the Jews HOUSE dress with long slen- der lines, a-dress and apron for little girls, and a popular bo- You will certainly want one of these, and more likely will want all three.
