The one great secret of max

The qualities that charm a
man in a sweetheart no more
resemble those that he will
want and demand in a wife,
than a gilt paper valentine re-
sembles a cook book or a

To RALLY.
HERE TODAY

Communists throughout the
United States will hold a series of
demonstrations before Federal
buildings and State capitals to-
day, according to information re-
ceived here by police and secret
service officials.
A demonstration is scheduled
in Washington at the Capitol,
the White House, and the District
Building.
Communists agitators have
been secretly working here for
the past five or six weeks, their
activities closely scrutinized by
under-cover Federal officers and
local police.
, Special reserve details of more
than 100 men are being held on
duty in various sections of the
city. Forty reserve police are
at the Capitol.
The demonstrations today are
the outgrowth of the communis-
tic hunger march here last year.
At that time, police handled the
situation without resorting to any
violence.

CLUB
SUES j. 8.

The Miami Beach Jockey Club
today filed suit in District Su-
preme Court asking an Injunction
against interference by the Gov
ernment in the proposed building
up of an island in Biscayne Bay.
which lies between Miami and
Miami Beach, Fla.
The Secretary of War and
Chief of Engineers of the Army
are named defendants in the suit
as Government representatives.
The jockey club wants to build
up an island and establish a
horse-racing plant to cost about
100000. The Secretary of War
claims that the island would
interfere with navigation in Bis
cayne Bay, but the club points
out that only small craft use that
other interests have been allowed
part of the bay and that other in
terests have been allowed to build
up islands in other parts of the
bay.

that Japan, because of the Shang-

to one of the IA vice presidencies
of the disarmament conference

JAP ACTS STIR
j. 8. IRE ANEW

Further American and British
protests to Japan against con-
tinued disregard of foreign rights
in the International Settlement
at Shanghai were in prospect to-
day.
These protests were to be based
upon official reports from the
"war zone" of Japanese naval
troops attacking Chinese troops
in the Chapel district of Shang-
hal and Japanese bombing planes
operating against Chinese artil-
lery in Chapel.
Official reports complained that
japanese bombing planes, en-
route from the aircraft carriers in
the harbor, consistently approach
the scene of their bombing op-
erations over the international
Settlement, drop their bombs as
they cross over the settlement
boundary into Chapel, then re-
turn to the aircraft carriers over
the settlement.
This compelS Chinese anti-air-
craft guns to direct their fire at
the planes on a line which takes
the shells over the settlement.
The American and British mill
tary commanders have also COM
planned that Japanese attacks
upon Chinese troops in the
Chapel district are made from a
base within the settlement. =,

NEWPLEA URGES
ALIEN OIL TAX

A final plea for a tax on foreign
oil was made to the House Ways
and Means Committee today by
Writ Franklin, of Oklahoma, presi-
dent of the Independent Oil Pro-
ducerS' Association.
Replying to arguments against
the tax, Franklin declared it neces-
sary to prevent the independent
oil industry of the nation from
being crushed. He denied the pro-
posed tag of 81 cents barrel on
imported oil should be classed as
a tariff.
He said:
'If / were advocating a tariff
I would ask much higher rate.
This tax bill will not keep out
foreign oil, but it will fix a mini
mum beyond which the price Of
domestic oil cannot be de-
pressed"
Franklin said a subsidiary of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
controls prices of crude oil in the
mid-continent field, and the Stand.
ard is the parent company of the
Pan-American, big importer.

Rose Allen s Statement
Confuses Staying Trial

G.N.S0 The world had another
look at Rose Aliens private life
today when she testified again
at the trial of her brother, Ed
ward H. B. Allen, for the murder
of Francis A. Donaldson, Sd, her
fiance.
She was asked to give informa-
ton regarding matters called to
the defense's attention by mys-
terious overnight communica-
ton"
Stewart Nase,, the district at
torney, was loath to give the
statement to the defense, even
when Judge Knight ordered him
to do. Her lips twitched in
evaporation.
She referred to her statement
to see what she said in it about
a gun. She told the court yes
terday that Eddie said he had
a gun in his locker. She said:

AID. BILL SPLITS
DEMOCRATS

With the Democratic ranks
shattered by dissension, the Sen
ate today moved toward substitut-
ing a $75O,OOO,OOO compromise
government aid bill for the La
Follette-Costigan bill, appropriat-
ing $375,O00,000 for direct relief
of the unemployed.
The substitute would divide
equally the $75O,OOO,OOO between
unsecured loans to the States for
unemployment relief and pro-rata
gifts for the building of Federal
aid roads.
The Democratic leaders, who
helped draft the substitute, were
harassed by a fear that passage
of the La Toilette -Costigan bill
would stamp their party as the
sponsors of the dole" Led by
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
they fought the direct relief bill
bitterly.
A vote tomorrow is expected on
the substitution. Unless. all signs
fail, it was be adopted.

B. E. F., Then and Now

Adopting a resolution calling for pro- lection against the veterans besieging the Capitol for their back pay, Congress stated that the authority of the United States had been grossly insulted by the disorderly and menaeing appearance of body of armed soldiers about the place within which Con- gress were assembled" No premeditated violence was anticipated said prominent person, but spirituous drink from the tipping houses adjoining began to be liber- ally served out to the soldiers and might lead to nasty excesses.
 But that was in 1783, and we are largely indebted to James Madison, who became our fourth president for descrip- ton of the first bonus army It consisted of about 300 veterans from Pennsylvania who personally waited on Continental Con- gress then sitting in Philadelphia. Their demands became so insistent that Congress fled to Princeton. N. J.. and it was shortly thereafter determined to establish perrna- nent National Capital elsewhere.
 How different are the forces of l932; 50 times 300, they are encamped on the muddy banks of the Potomac, billeted in old buildings half demolished in the wake of capital improvements. They are quiet and orderly. They parade but they do not threaten. They must know that the House vote of 209 to l7o tn favt of the bonus was hollow sham; that the Senate vote overwhelmingly defeating the bonus bill forthrightly reflects the tenor of the times.
 As Haywood Broun. liberal columnst of the Scripps Howard chain of newspapers, has pointed out, the bonus marehers would have done better by themselves to have ap- peared not as representatives of special group of veterans pleading for disguised dole but in behalf of our 1 100000 un- employed demanding a new economic deal. As Congress nears adjournment they dig in. They seem prepared to stay.

There are fines. too, for persons or carriers who transport messengers engaged in thus regularly carrying mail pri- vately for profit.

SHERWOOD ISLAND MADE
 AVAILABLE
(Hartford Courant)

lTldI dIILOTu SOuTdHLJ
 The lease of fifty acres of land on Sherwood Island by the state marks the end of long, and unseemly controversy. over a park for the use of all the people on the shore of Fairfield County. The State for some time has owned small tract on Sher- wood Island, but enjoyment of it hitherto has been virtually ifnpos- sible, not only because 1t lacked proper facilities, but also because 1t was almost inaccessible save at low tide. Because of vigorous op- position to developing the property on the part of some residents of the shore, nothing was done to open the park to general use, with the result that although the peo- pie .nominally had a park on Sher- wood Island, it was of no use to them.
 By the lease of the property now taken over by the state, a way is opened for the proper development of the park. The public now is as- sured the use of road to the shore, while limited facilities are to be installed for bathing. In con- sequence. the people who hitherto have found no beach open to them on holidays along the shore of Fairfield county will now have a place where they can go for rec reation, without fear of being turned away. The number of such persons is large, as was apparent last summer when efforts were made to keep them off the munici- pal beaches. and the opening of Sherwood Island to the public should be boon to all concerned.
 The lease of the fifty acres at Sherwood Island should be only the first step in developing the island for public use. The park and forest commissioners have taken an option to buy the prop erty now under lease, and at the proper time the state should make provision for enlarging its hold-- ings in order that a park of sood size equipped with all needed fa- cilities may be available there.

Extravagant Minorities

Admiral Byrd, appealing in Boston for support of the National Economy League says the country is being ruled disastrous lys by organized minorit.es who are raid ing the treasury and doing their share to lead us toward national bankruptcy He calls for constructive protest against the in efficiency and wild-money- spending of our city, state and federal governments that take billions of dollars from the treasuries.
 Col Mccormick, publisher of the Chi cago Tribune. at the same time calls upon the American people to resist the rising tide of taxes which threaten to put the nation in slavery to an ofice-hoding class by the con- hseation of private property He main tains that If the present trend continues the exactions will rise until all private pro fits will disappear.
 Both, no doubt, are right. Our public tressuries are raided, and the rising tide of taxes threatens to engulf us all until it be- comes impossible to pay taxes. But the of- fice-holders are not altogether to blame for it.. It>is the nature of man to make himself as secure as he can in a job. It is the nature of public job-holders to believe that they earn what they get and more, and that the public is indebted to them.
 The voters and taxpayers put them in office and keep them there. The voters and taxpayers also ask expensive services and favors of them and demand extravagant and needless expenditures. Many of the "organiZed minorites' responsible for gross public extravaganza are groups of citizens full of local, state. sectional or class patriot ism, who think they are performing val uable social service by demanding appropri- ations for their pet projects We nearly all belong to minorities acting unwisely and unthriftily. We must all reform. When shall we have an organized majority. will ing to sacrifice personal, local and party fa- vofs for the good of the whole country!

Here Are Two Good Mystery
 Yarns for You
by BRUCE CATION

When the cop and the inno- cent bystander went to peek in the front window of Henry Cases house, after they discovered a light in building that was supposed to have been empty for three days. they saw Henry Case sitting at his dining room table with wine glass in front of him. And that would have been all right, if it hadn't been that he had a bullet in his brain.
 All of this is from Murder at Midnight" by R. A. J. Walling (Morrow, $2.00) one of the better detective stories of the summer season.
 Henry Case had been dead three days; but his record was broken when the police found secret room over junk shop in which another dead man sat at table. This chap, poisoned by cyanide, had been dead week.
 From this you can see that it was all very mysterious. There are a lot of innocent pople who look very guilty, and there's an international dope ring to compli- cate matters, and it's pretty fair puZzler.
 Another one that isn't half bad is Five Fatal Words" by Edwin Balmer and Philip Yylie (Long & Smith: s2).
 There are six members of rich family in this one, and a. for tune of $200,00O.000 is to go to the one who survives the other five. Naturally, this leads to flock of murders, each preceded by strange code message and each disguised to look like an accident.
 You'll find old Miss Hannah pretty sinister at times, and there's a Hindu who'll bear watching. And if you can figure out how Uncle Whats His-Name got electrocuted in his bath you deserve job with Scotland Yard.
