Evidence that Long means to in

in his investigation was given late

into the city with guardsmen sur
rounding him.
To the clash and clatter of rifles

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept, U.P)
"A major detection in the New
Deals high command-the resigna-
tion of Budget Director Lewis
Douglas - was conceded today in
sources close to the Summer White
House.
Although official confirmation of
reports that Douglas submitted his
resignation to President Roosevelt
was lacking, administration friends
regarded it almost certainty.
The budget director called on the
chief executive Thursday presum-
ably to discuss government fiscal
affairs. 1t was then that he asked
to be relieved of his duties, the re-
ports said.
On several occasions Douglas,
former Arizona congressman, was
! rumored to have been at odds with
administration officials on matters
of expenditures, especially drought
relief. Several months ago the
breach had widened to the point of
a break but was patched and he
continued in office.
AS budget director, Douglas rank
ed with members of the cabinet. He
is a conservative, reported out of
harmony with some administration
policies. President Roosevelt could
not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Roosevelt labored
on details of his recovery program.
He renamed Donald Richberg to
head the executive and emergency
councils another 80 days. Rich
berg is functioning H. place of
Frank Walker who some time ago
was granted an extended leave of
absence.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l WP) -
Resignation of Budget Director
Lewis w. Douglas was believed here
to be in the hands of President
Roosevelt today and its acceptance
was predicted.
Announcement was expected to
be forthcoming from the Summer
White House at Hyde Park, N. Y.
Douglas himself was not available
for comment but friends were little
surprised at the news.

some 65 years ago. fighting her
giant neighbors Of Brazil and
Argentina, as well as Uruguay,
one little people against three,
Paraguay fought on and on until
q million and four hundred
thousand people were reduced to
a bare two hundred thousand.
In the whole land only twenty
eight thousand men were left
alive.
Priceless Books
And now, revived by time and
q strangely vital national spirit,
Paraguay triumphs, at least for
the time. But Bolivia calls more
men to the colors and appropri-
ates more millions to be poured

learned all over again.
News of worldwide interest,"
that the British Museum has
purchased from the Soviet
government of Russia, for
$500, 900 in our money, one Of
the only four books known to
mankind upon which the
Scriptures are based. This is
the Codex Sinaiticus, which
was discovered in 1874 and 1859
in the Monastery of Mt. Sinai.
The other three codixes, or
true Bibles, are the Codex
Vaticanus, now in the Vatican
in Rome, and written in the
fourth century after Christ;
the Codex Alexandrinus, also
written in the fourth century
and the Codex Ephraemi Of
the fifth century. Priceless
books, the oldest Bibles known;
the delight of scholars.
Christianity was not at first
a book of religion. The teaeh.
ings of Jesus were committed
to the Apostles and passed along
by them, by word of mouth.
Then came the time when their
sayings, their preachings and
their recollections of their Mas
ter were written down on parch-
ment. And these very ancient
writings make up the four
codices.
The one which has just been
purchased by the British govern
ment and the British Museum
was one of the principal treas
ures of the Russian Car. Hav-
ing no use for Bibles, ancient or
modern, Soviet Russia sells the
precious manuscript for spot
cash.

Defeat League Program
By James r. Williams, Jr.

and the good use which the
Senate made Of this time in
the examination and debate Of
the proposed reversal Of George
Washington's foreign policy,
which ratification of the league
covenant would have involved,
it is doubtful whether the
United States would have es-
capped the menace of league
membership.
And so it has been with the
protocols for the League Court.
Walking delegates for the
League Of Nations have ef-
fected a national organization
whose purpose it is to stam-
pede the Senate into taking
this country into the League
through the trap-door of its
Court.
Serve Notice
During the Hoover Admins
tration, this organization of in
ternationaliStS were confident
they had the votes to compel
ratification without further de-
lay. But each time the attempt
was made, a few brave SEN
ators, forgetting partiSanship.
in utter disregard of their po-
ntlcal future and quickened
only by a firm and patriotic
resolve to keep this country
out of the League of Nations
and out Of all it's departments,
were able to save the day for
the American people.
They played for time-time
in which the plain people of
this country might inform them
selves of the dangers they would
invite by abandoning our ira
ditional foreign policy to enter
the League or the League Court.
AS a matter of fact these
Senator's are the patriots who
are chiefly responsible for the
decision just announced by
Senator Robinson. These SEN
ators have let the Senate know
that any attempt at this session
to drag the United States into
the League Court will not only
knock "the New Deal" into a
cooked hat, but will reduce to
Congressional kindling wood the
whole Roosevelt legislative pro-
gram for national recovery.
In the fight to keep this
country out of the League Court
the history of the fight which
kept this country out of the
League is repeating Itself. It
was the Senators, both Republi-
can and Democratic, who cheer.
fully broke every political tie
and offered to sacrifice their
denomination and reelection to
the Senate, who prevented the
ratification of the League Cove.
nant. 1t is the same type Of
Senator fired by the same fer.
vent patriotism that has forced
the shelving of the League Court
protocols for the session and
that will ultimately bring about
their rejection.

Physical tribulationS were lin
itless, but nothing threatened
the soul, and you had the feel
ing that, after a good rundown
with liniment and a nights
sleep, your heroes would be as
fresh as daisies and ready for
another assault.
But, of late years, the Rus
sian influence has crept in and
we have whole families given
over to brooding about What
It All Means. The figures are
still drawn with some idea of
caricature but the talk is the
talk of Dostoevsky. Moral prob
lens are presented and thrashed
out by poor, tortured puppets
who, at the end of each strip,
are in a much worse plight
than they were the day before.
Many strips have given up
even the idea of caricature in
the drawing, and are just out
and out illustrated tragedies Of
Life in the Raw. No wonder
