French Officials Disappointed at Mus.
solini Address,

PARIS, March 10 L4).-Mussolini's
bold language in his speech at Rome
yesterday, in which he reviewed Italy S
foreign relations, was described au-
thoritatively today as like throwing
dust" in the eyes of French officials.
They were keenly disappointed,
fearing II Duce had upset the apple
cart they thought was quietly head
ing toward French Italian and
Little Entente friendship.
II Duce told FascistS that none of
the problems with France in Is years
had been solved, warned Paris not
to block italian progress in Africa and
Endorsed rearmament of Germany.
Success of an accord was doubted,
as the Czechs. Yugoslavs and Ru-
manians of the Little Entente are be-
lieved certain to oppose Mussolini's
championship of Hungarian territorial
demands.
The French and their allies
previously were willing to let II Duce
sketch his own plans for Central
Europe, believing he would let re-
vision of the treaty of Versailles slip
into the background.
The French press charged Italy
with deception and indicated the
feeling that II Duce took advantage
Of Paris confidence.

John Roosevelt Is Improving
after Remoual of Appendix
OperatiOn on Presidents
Son at NaUaI Hospital
Held Successful.
CrOtOn Senior Had Suf-
fered Three attacks
Within Past Year.

John Roosevelt, the 18-year-old son
OF President and Mrs. Roosevelt, had
his appendix removed today at the
Naval Hospital. The operation, which
was performed by Capt. Ralph W.
Mcdowell. chief surgeon of the hos
pital, was successful, and the young
man was reported afterwards as be-
ing in splendid condition.
Mrs. Roosevelt was at the hospital
at the time of the operation and spent
a part of the remainder of the day
at her sons bedside
Mrs. Roosevelt Nearby.
The operation was performed short
ly after IL o'clock. Capt. Mcdowell
was assisted by Comdr. j. w. Allen
and Lieut.. Comdr. William Small, both
OF the hospital staff. Mrs. Roosevelt
remained in room nearby during the
operation.
John had suffered three attacks in
the past year and his family decided
at the White House yesterday that he
should have his appendix removed. He
came to the White House Saturday
from Groton. Mass, where he is a
senior at Groton College, to attend
the twenty-ninth wedding anniversary
of his parents. Several times during
his visit he complained of a pain in
his side and upon the suggestion of
his father and mother, was examined
at the White House yesterday by DR..
Mcdowell and Lieut. Comdr. Ross Nc
Intire. another of the Navy Hospital
staff, who had been serving in the
capacity Of physician to the Presi-
dent. Upon examination the two
physicians determined that the ap-
pendix should be removed and it was

Democrats Also May Sweat.
Certain prominent Democrats may
feel the heat also if Treasury Secre-
tary Morgenthau turns his silver spec
ulation data over to Prosecutor Pecora
for public inquiry. There is also an
other stock market matter which may
come out soon, causing other Demo
Gratis to perspire freely.
The decision in the SilUer matter
is supposed to rest on the question
Whether Mr.. Morgenthau'S data is
sufficiently conclusive to 1Darrdnt a
public exposure. There seems to be
no ground tor any suspicion that
political considerations are holding
the matter back. 1t has gone too
far for that.
The silver cloud probably will have
dark lining.
Real Legal ZeaIots.
The reason the young Anthony ad-
vocateS are called that is:
They are clannish group of excep-
tionally able young barristers who are
advocates by nature. They are not
merely lawyers, Judging and preparing
legal conceptions, but sklllful workers
for strong reform principles.
From the master of their school
Felix Frankfurter, they have absorbed
such zeal that they are content tc
work in obscurity in the Government
service for a pittance in order to ac-
complish their reform object.ves
In old English plays each member
Of the cast was named for the charac.
ter he portrayed. The villain wa:
called "Mr. Snake" the laggard "Mr
Sloth," the hero "Mr. Handsome" the
barrister "Mr. Advocate"

purity.

Reservations Not Vital

These wholesale designations from
the Democratic National Committee
are not as important as they sound.
There is a rule in the National
Committee that resigned members
serve until their successors are chosen.
Up to now only one successor has been
chosen, and that one for innocent
Frank Walker, who resigned the
treasurership.
Also, there is quite question
1Dhether the influence of any i'm
portdnt committeeman is altered By
resignation. For instance, the ldtD
business OF Arthur Mullen and his
political potDer in Nebraska hardly
1Uill be changed much By his reSig-
nation. His successor probably piu
be q Mullen man.
The root of the matter seems to be
that the housecleaning was started by
the President to get one particular
individual out of the house. When
that was accomplished, the admins
tration was satisfied, but outsiders set
up such a howl that the houseclean-
ing had to be carried through to a
rather meaningless conclusion.
Auto Strike Secuted.
The soothsayers are betting there
will not be an automobile strike. They
smile at the dire threats going back
and forth between the industry and
the A. F. of L.
The industry is in the midst of
Spring production, its best time of
year. A strike would be very costly.
1t may talk big, but it will do every
thing reasonably possible to avoid a
strike
From that standpoint the time is
opportune for labor, but otherwise
it is not. Public opinion is the
most powertul Uedpon that labor
has in strikes. But popular opinion
hardly DiH support voluntary
spread of unemployment noW. The
Government HkeUise may not sup
port it, as it is now already CON-
tributing to the likelihood OF about
one out of eDery sir or seDen per-
sons in the country.
The matter is expected to be re-
ferred and referred, first to boards
and then to votes of employees and
then to some one else.

thereupon agreed at the consultation
with President and Mrs. Roosevelt
that there would be an operation. 1t
was decided to have John go to the
hospital today and arrangements were
made accordingly.
Reassured by Father.
Before leaving the White House he
went to his fathers study on the sec
ond floor to receive a hearty hand
clasp and reassuring words. Mrs.
Roosevelt joined her son at the hos
pital soon afterward.
John celebrated his eighteenth birth
day last Tuesday. Like all of the
Roosevelt boys, he is over feet and
broad shouldered and athletic. He
has been a member of the Groton
crew for several years and is an ex-
pert horseman.
1t was expected at the hospital that
the young man would recover very
rapidly, and it was said that his con-
dition was not at all serious, and
that there was absolutely no cause
for alarm.

SLAYER OF WIFE
COMMITS SUICIDE
Cleveland Attorney Stays
Spouse With Ak and
Takes Own Life.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, March 19.-Over-
come by insane frenzy, r. B. New
comb, prominent Cleveland attorney,
killed his wife with an AK, early to-
day, and then committed suicide by
slashing his throat with a razor.
In the opinion Of Coroner A. j.
Pearse, two other persons in the New
comb home, who were asleep at the
time, were lucky to escape. They
were Newcomb's son, Millard, about
30, and Mrs. Newcomb's mother, Mrs.
Mabel Warner.
Considering the mania that as
sailed him, 1t is surprising that Mr..
Newcomb did not go through the
house with the AK" the coroner said.
Had Nervous Breakdown.
without doubt he was out of his
head as a result of a nervous break
down, and 1t is fortunate that Mrs.
Warner and Millard did not get up at
the time If they had. he surely
would have attacked them"
Newcomb had been under treat
ment for a nervous breakdown.
The two bodies were found in the
Newcomb home at daybreak by a
laundress. Coroner A. j. Pearse, sum-
moned by Cleveland Heights police.
pronounced their deaths a murder
and a suicide.
Newcomb was member Of the law
firm of Newcomb, Newcomb & Nord.
Found BY Laundress.
Coroner Pearse said a preliminary
investigation indicated that Newcomb
awakened about $50 am, went to
the basement to get the ak and re-
turned to his wife's bed room.
He struck her one blow over the
head as she slept, the coroner
theorized, and then descended to the
basement to commit suicide.
Mrs Mabel Warner. aged mother Of
the murdered woman. said she heard
her daughter cry out about $50. She
did not investigate Immediately and
the bodies we're not discovered until
the laundress, Myra johnson, came to
work
Newcomb was 81, a former member
of the Executive Committee Of the
Cleveland Bar Association and held
the degree of doctor Of medicine as
well as his law degree.
Sought Jury Revision.
The lawyer also was prominent for
many years in promoting friendly re-
lations between officials of Cleveland
and of several cities in Canada. High
light of these efforts is the annual
Canada Cleveland day celebration
here.
In addition to Millard, the couple
IS survived by another son, Robert
B. Newcomb jr., editor of trade pub
lication in New York.
In 1929 R. B. Newcomb represented
the Cleveland Bar Association in
leading a movement to revise the
county jury system. At one time he
was a regular contributor to the
Canadian Comment, Toronto maya
zine. He was born In New York City
October 26. 1872.

CEMENT F|N|SHERS
CONFER WITH FIRM
Negotiations Under Way for
Resumption of Work on
U. S. Buildings.

Negotiations were under way today
between the Washington Building
Trades Council and James Stewart &
Co, contractor, to determine whether
cement flnishers and allied trades
which have been on strike will return
to work tomorrow morning on the
Department of Labor and Interstate
Commerce Commission Buildings.
After award Saturday of the dis
puted work Of laying mastic tile floors
to the cement finishers, instead of the
carpenters, who have been laying the
work, the Stewart Co. this morning
took carpenters of the work and
called upon the local cement finish
ers for union men to complete the
job. The award had been made Sat-
urday by William Green, president of
the American Federation Of Labor, as
arbiter.
When the request for cement finish
ers went to the Washington Building
Trades Council the matter was sub
mitted to the Stewart Co., to be de-
cided before men would be returned
to work.
Negotiations we're still under yay
this afternoon and it was expected
the Stewart Co. would give an answer
soon.
More than 200 men had been out
on strike, with the cement finishers,
Tor more than a month, in protest
against the laying of mastic tile floors
by carpenters. This question was sub
mitted to President Green of the
A. F. of L. for determination and the
crafts agreed to abide by his decision.
