Washington, Oct. 16-Nortn- ern defenders of the negro are quietly looking around for q good liberal southern democrat with an Anglo-Saxon,e r name to take over the defense of the negroes in the Scottsboro case.
 Their defenders are tired of supporting lawyers with com munist affiliations or foreign names, have made up their minds to get someone with the standing of John w. Davis.
 What has brought this deci- sion is the arrest of the two defense lawyers for alleged at tempted bribery of Georgia Price a white woman who accuses the seven negroes. fy
 The two lawyers are supposed to be affiliated with the com munist party, which unQuestiOn- ably has u 8 ed the ScOttsborO case for its own ends. a
 It is not supposed to be known but some members of the su- preme court would be glad to see a final test of whether negroes shall be permitted to serve on juries; therefore would have welcomed a review of the Scottsboro case. with the issue unclouded by. cxtraneous matter like the bribery charge.

 Jim Reed, once a doughty liberal, now millionaire, dis likes the MIRA. even more than the New Deal.
 Jim's recent bride, the former Mrs Nellie Donnelly, owns and operates the Nell Don dress manufacturing company. H CT dresses come under the jurisdic- tion. of two codes. cheaper grades under a sub-code of the cotton garment industry, more their own.
 The Nell Don, and a number of other concerns, make dresses that overlap both codes. So after much debate the MIRA has pro- mulgated a new order, designed to settle these jurisdictional questions. ..A5ys.i:

President Prevents War By Vanishing!
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Interesting from a psychological viewpoint is the. effect of a threat enfhg international conflict when pitted against an overwhelming in- cidcnt, although of much smaller consequences, closer to home.
 The new anonymous :, mystery thriller, The President Vanishes,'' affords just such. asestudy.
 The, country is on, the verge of entering, a World War, and the president of the United States is about to make his decision of en- tering the. war, or staying out of 1t, when he suddenly disappears.
 The. "1OO men who rule the soun- try" had. practically ordered war from Congress-. and everything looked rosy. = for the armament crowd. But they still had to deal with the president, whose popular ity and persuasiyeness of speech might sotp them yet.
 Suddenly the president vanishes, and the war clique finds itself fac- ing q different psychology in tho people than the war mania It ha 1 so completely built up. The coun- try forgets tho war In it's eager ness for news about its president.
 Here is. an incident closer to home which. although of less con- sequences than the internation- al conflict in Europe. actually ovcr- shadows the war in its importance to the people of the United States. Its a clever bit Of psychology around which n clever mystery story Is framed. N..l..
 Further than. that, you'll get some insight into the way selfish munitions Interests act in .Wash- Ingt0n. almost to the eoint Of run. ing the government.

Press Comment
FOR LOWER INTEREST RATE

MerlQen JOurnalD
 State Bank Commissioner Wal ter Perry Is pressing the 63 mutual savings banks in Connecticut to limit their interest rate on depos- its to 3 per cent, claiming that the present rates are higher than those of adjoining states and pointing out the bankers difficulty in find- ing liquid securities which will return an income, after taxes and expenses, equivalent to present di- vidends.
 A drop to 3 per cent would be pronounced for the Connecticut mutuals which only a few years ago were paying per cent with an occasional extra is justified by earnings, and would further de- press income for the many per sons entirely or partially depen- dent upon this form of income. These are non-profit- making in- stitutions, with brilliant record in this section o fthe country for stability and consistent earnings, and the law is that all returns above maintenance and the accum- ulation of, a proper reserve shall be distributed among the deposi- tors.
 Each drop in income is reflected in general business and 1t is to be earnestly hoped that thet the trend may change soon and begin to ex- pand buying capacity.

Joking Remarks


 Joking Remarks
 A current play is responsible for the revival of an old practical joke. The show has line in which a irrepressible youth, when they'd call up people, tell them this was the water department and that the mains were going to be shut off for the next twelve hours. Naturally the victims would scurry around filling bathtubs and every other receptacle in their houses against the ex- pected drought.
 Even though the perpetrators can only sit back and imagine the havoc they've caused, it seems to be great fun. That's peculiar trait of your confirmed practical joker: he's often content with just imagin- ing the aftermaths of his pranks. I know a fellow who slipped into an- others apartment and mixed the bathtub full to the brim with nice pink gelatin. He committed illegal entry at another place and pain stakingly applied black paint over every inch of the window panes. Then he removed some fuses so the light wouldn't work. The ten- ant went home a little tipsy, and for an awful fey minutes thought he had been stricken blind.
 Harpo Has . Picnic
 Harpo Marx, now, is gent who makes his fun in person, and stays around to watch the consequences. There was that episode on the private island retreat of Alexander Woollcott-
 The host and several guests, in- cluding the Marxes, watched with quiet indignation one afternoon as a rowboating quartet of picnickers landed right beside a big Keep off'' sign spread out their luncheon and began . noisy party. Harpo said to excuse him. please. and slipped away from the group on the veranda.
 Down on the shore, a few min- utes later, one, of the. lady pie nickers noticed something moving in the bushes nearby. Looked again, and shrieked. The other tres- passers looked too, and were froz- en by terror. There, little more than a dozen yards away, stood a wildly grimiacing creature with q fantastic thatch of bright red hair. The thing had an axe in his hand. The visitors departed that island without bothering to gather up their baskets and vaccum bottles and ukuleles.
 Genms of HumOr
 And it was Harpo who went in- to a 5-10 cent store a few months ago and bought a whole pocket fui of rings and brooches and brilliants. Then he entered the swankiest jewelry store on Fifth Avenue, priced a few articles, and walked out. At the door he stumbled and half fell, and onto the sidewalk rolled a shower of what looked like diamonds, rubies, and pearls.
 In a minute three policemen were struggling to keep bach the crowds. While MT Marx and a doorman were scampering around picking up fake jewels the stores detective and a couple of morning coated executives had a grim and hurried conference. They knew peculiar was going on. but they were equally sure the hadn't come from their store. So they looked on help lessiy as Harpo finally arose with his treasure intact, graveiy re- warded each policeman and the doorman with a sparkling ring, and vanished into the crowd.

T|BBETT DRAWS
PACKED HOUSE

Before an audience which
packed Constitution Hall and
overlooked on the stage, Law
renee Tibbett, the sensational
baritone of the Metropolitan
Opera, opened the Sunday con-
cert season yesterday.
It seemed almost a new lib
bett, so different was his pro-
gram from other years, and a
Tibbett whose voice has never
before been so satisfying.
The program was classical,
rather than the lusty roaring
songs he has given us before,
and it gave him every chance to
demonstrate his truly great
artistry. His diction was astound-
ing; his technique was faultless.
The entire program, with the
exception of the Italian ariaS,
was sung in English.
They were excellently done.
particularly DER Allmach" Of
Schubert, which he sang in place
IF the "Erlking," music of which
nad not Deen brought by Cne
singer.
A striking novelty number was
TRAFFIC" by Charles Ridgway
Here the composer attempted to
put in song the hustle and roar
Of the cities. Tibbett sang it
we'll.
Another novelty was American
Lullaby" a satirical song which
drew laughter.
Tibbett's voice was at it's best
IN the difficult aria from the
Barber of Seville" and the pro.
logue from "Pagliacci."
The singer ADDED a number of
encoreS to top a splendid con.
cert.
Stewart Willie was again lib.
belts accompanist, and did two
solo numbers.
