Equally Objectionable and
Similar in Viewpoint.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 2-The General
Council of the Trades Union Congress
yesterday expressed opposition to all
relationships in the United Kingdom,
whether of the Right or Left.
I'VE must constantly be on our
guard" says the council, ito detect and
combat any tendencies toward dicta-
torship of any kind"
The declaration claims many persons
do not perceive that the principle of
dictatorship Is the same whether it Is
of Communist or Fascist type
"They do not realize that each sup
presses its opponents ruthlessly. No in
dependent authority can be permitted
by dictatorship in any political or
economic field"
The issue will come before the con-
gress in full session next week and a
campaign against Fascism is to follow
later in the year.

Mark Wins a Reader

Charles Lee Cooke, publicist of
the State Department, recently
began reading "Broadways of the
World" He became infatuated
with Mark Hellinger's breezy
literary style as set down on
these pages and accordingly re-
quested all installments of the
touring columnist's adventures
since he left Broadway. So all
copies of The Washington Times
since November 10 have been
duly forwarded to the Hellinger
enthusiast. Uncle Carl Laemmle
sent a special messenger from
New York down to the White
House on Saturday with a can
of film for the President and
this special delivery message:
"It is my happy privilege to pre-
sent to you for your personal
files print No. 1 of the new Uni
versal motion picture, The Fight
ing President based upon your
life, which has been an inspira-
tion to me and to a hundred

Another Skyscraper

My question started him grin

in a direction that think was
southeast of the Madam. There
stood a building with a dome
that was at least twice the
height of Sir David's memorial.
Now, despite the fact that

looking at the Woolworth and

New York. it was an unex-

wonderfully constructed build

And when I gazed in the di-

pointed, once more I was
pleasantly surprised at the
domed building.

Joe Freed Stars
on Gayety Bill

What started out as a rather
dismal day yesterday was consid-
erably frightened for burlesque
patrons by the Gayety'S Sugar
Babies" starring Joe Freed.
Although this show shocked
some of the outstanding women
stars boasted by other spokess OF
the wheel, it is a well-constructted
production, having a nice sprin.
king of comedy, songs and dances.
Joe Frede, with his throaty
speech, was the source Of much
laughter and showed that he
could also get by on his dance
steps if he had to. Thrown in
the background by his brilliance
are two other comics of contrast
ing style, Jimmy Coughlin, slow,
deliberate and tall, and Lew
White, fast, jumpy and short,
who are extremely good in their
many skits.
One of the cleverest dancing
teams of the season, Freddie
Byron and the Wroth Sisters,
made the customers sit up and
take notice. Whether it be in the
routine steps, the intricate ones,
or in Byron's slapstick contor-
tions.
The cast contains Connie Fans
lau, the favorite of the audience;
Elsie "Tiny'D Huff, seen here
for the first time without her
partner, Harry Ryan, who is mis-
tress of the tap dance; Estelle
Novak, Florence Naomi, the prima
donna, and Floyd Hallisey, good
looking straight man; Eddie Akin,
a smooth performer, who teams
up with Freed near the finale,
and Bobby Whalen, tenor.

GREAT EASTERN HOTEL.
CALCUTTA, 1ndia.-I had
very busy afternoon today.
Having finished breakfast
around noon, I decided to take
in the various points of interest
of which Calcutta boasts. Be
ing a native New Yorker have
yet to place a foot inside the
aquarium Or Grants Tomb.
. And there are thousands of
other New YorkerS who could
say the same thing. if they
would, because they, like myself,
are of the opinion that such
spots are for the entertainment
of visitors to the city.
Accordingly, while there may
be thousands of Calculates
who never bother themselves
with the many interesting
places situated here. being a
visitor I thought it only natural
to investigate such spots. After
all, that's why I'm on this trip.
Seeing City Park
My first stop was the
Maiden, or park just outside
the city. It's a beautiful
thing, really, being two square
miles in area.
At every turn I was sur
:'ounded by statues. And in
the park proper stands a pill
lar which is the king of all it
surveys. This pillar was
erected to the memory of Sid
David Ochterlony-and I hope
the spelling is correct-who
won the Nepalese War quite
some years ago.
Sir David's memorial i'm
pressed me quite some and as
1 stood gazing in fascination
at it's height. my guide tapped
me on the shoulder. I turned
to find him grinning at me.
"You think that big?' he
muttered.
Listen, mug" I repied,
"get that foolish grin off your
face and tell me something
about this wonderful pillar.
Exactly how tall is this pill
lar?" e..
He stopped grinning and
shook his head.
Him not so big" he grum-
bled. Him only 165 feet big
That's ALL"
was startled at that reply.
Only 165 feet! Was I being
kidded, or was the guy on the
level?
"It certainly looks big
enough to me-" retorted.
"After all. that is quite
height. Do you mean to tell
me that you have taller me-
