A friend of this writer, an oil op-
erator who has reasons for remain-
ing anonymous, brings news from
Mexico that the big, swarthy Mesti-
zo, the most conspicuous hold-out on
the state agrarian program, is gain-
ing a following in a long sweep of
Mexican provinces, and, in this
view, dissident factions will swarm
in behind him, if there is a further
drift toward civil war.
He has the friendship and
backing of various foreign inter-
ests, according to my informant,
and around his huge, stolid,
grim person there is gathering
powerful opposition to the gov-
ernment,
He is a self-made fighting man
who served his apprenticeship in va-
rious minor work-outs, before the
big upheaval of 1810, when old Por-
firio Diaz was overthrown. He
joined this revolt, but called him-
self a ‘conservative revolutio ”
He never liquidated his personal
army, now numbering about 10,000,

stitutional coms-
monwealth. When
he resigned as secretary of agri-
culture on August 18, of last year,
it was reported that he had made a
truce with President Cardenas, but
that talk seems to have been pre-
mature.
He was a member of the Na-
tional Revolutionary party com-
mittee of 1934, which drafted
Mexico's six-year agrarian and
economic plan, but has been a
determined and effective oppo-
nent of such fixings, particularly
the Cardenas agrarian plan.
My friend picks Senors Cardenas
and Cedillo as the two strong men
of Mexico, one being driven left
and the other right by the present
social tension.

Asks Press Censorship
ENATOR SHERMAN MINTON
\J ot Indiana, who succeeded Hugo
Black as chairman of the senate’s
inquisitorial committee, is so vexed
troduced a bill providing for censor-
ship of the press. It is as follows:
upon conviction thereof shall
fined not less than $1,000 nor more
than $10,000 and shall be impris-
oned for not more than two years.”
Simultaneously the American
Newspaper Publishers’ association,
meeting in New York, reaffirmed
its determination to defend the free-
dom of the press and the constitu-
tional rights of private citizens. It
adopted resolutions condemning the
actions of the Minton committee,
especially in the case of the organi-
zation headed by Frank Gannett.

Ford at White House
NE of our greatest industrial
ists, Henry Ford, was the Pres-
ident's guest at luncheon and it was
expected that something important
or at least interesting would come
out of the encounter. But, officially,
it was ‘just a pleasant family meet-
ing such as might take place at a
wayside inn.” That's what a White
House spokesman said. However,
Washington correspondents learned
from what they considered a trust-
worthy that Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr were agreed on but

should leave business alone. Mr

Corn Belt Revolt
J ARMERS of the Middle West are
in open revolt against the AAA
corn crop control program, and the
movement, started in Macomb, Ill,
was spreading so fast throughout
the corn belt that officials of the
Department of Agriculture were
considering possible modification of
the program so as to allow individu-
al growers larger allotments. The
Illinois farmers formed the Corn
Belt Liberty league, and growers
from Jowa, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri and Minnesota
who attended the meetings of the
league went home to promote the
organization of branches in their
states. Norman J. Taber, master of
the National Grange, assured the
league of the Grange’s support.
Tilden Burg, president of the or-
ganization, said in addressing its
second session: ‘‘Our purpose is to
oppose in every honorable way the
un-American program of compul-
sory crop control. Most of us have
spent our lives on the farm, We
have an affection for our lands and
an interest in their operation that

“End Tax Exemptions"
ROMPT legislation was asked of
congress by President Roosevelt
to remove tax exemptions on in-
come from all future government
bonds, federal, state and local, and
on all government salaries.
In his special message the Presi-
dent said existing exemptions re-
sulted from judicial decisions and
could be eliminated by a ‘short and
simple statute’’ which he felt the
courts would uphold.

Earle Ousts Margiotti
T HAT very uncivil war among the
Pennsylvania Democrats grew
bloodier daily as the primary date
drew near. Gov. George H. Earle,
who seeks the senatorial nomina-
tion, was enraged when Attorney
General Margiotti accused two
prominent Democrats of taking a
$20,000 bribe to bring about legisia-
tion favorable to local brewers.
Those two men are supporters of
Earle, and when Margiotti refused
to substantiate his charges the gov-
ernor ousted him and all his depu-
ties. Margiotti is an independent
candidate for the Democratic guber-
natorial nomination. There have
been other charges of corruption,
and a grand jury was getting ready
to investigate them.

of “‘untouchables’’ among American
Indians was Sitting Bull, medicine

the Men of the Mounted were feel-

that the inspector's horse had not

when Inspector Allen saw his horse,
and its rider was Sitting Bull him-
self. Giving the sign of friendship,
Inspector Allen, head and shoulders
shorter than any Sioux brave around
him, and probably half the size of
Sitting Bull, pointed to the black
mare, and said:
“My horse. You must

“My horse
shouted Sitting Bull.
“That horse carries my brand,
my mark,” said Allen, softly as he
moved close enough to have Sitting
Bull's left knee come under his
clean-shaven chin.
“My horse!” screamed Sitting
Bull. At this hundreds of Sioux war-
riors, sensing trouble, closed in on
the quarelling pair. Allen stood his
ground, however. Again he par-
leyed with Sitting Bull, and again
received a flood of abuse and inso-
lence and a threat of sudden death.
It was then that Inspector Allen
