Washington, Jan. 13-The re- publican attack on the adminis- tration is a relief to democratic leaders. They feared the former would follow the willy counsel of Floor Leader Senator McNary and hold their fire, leav- ing the democrats to fall out among themselves. Now with the republicans fiaying the partisan ton1-toms, the demo- cratic managers are confident their cohorts will rally against the comman enemy. / Comp troller General McCarl is bridge fan, plays an expert game of golf, and is addicted to Wind sor ties.
 CAREER BOYS
 The state departments career boys are arguing about the type of diplomat that should be sent to assist Ambassador Bullitt in Russia. The bespatted personnel board wants to send men trained in the neighboring countries of Latvia, Estonio, Po- land. It claims these men know Russia. Others claim that men stationed in these neighboring countries have been trained under the old Deal to hate Russia, to send to the red- batting Kellogg, the Russia hat ing Hughes, the aloof MT Stim- son every shred of information against the Soviet. Men in sympathy with the Soviet should go there, they argue. .. Un- der-Secretary Phillips, who op- posed recognition, and Bob Kelly, head of the Russian bur- eau, look for a big blow-up in the present cordial relations with Russia, presumably want to send men there who will help this blow-up alongA Latest con- ference scheduled to convene in Washington is on Birth Control and National Recovery"
 OLD TRICK
 The Japanese are resorting to the old propaganda game to ob- tain American recognition for their puppet state Manchukuo.
 They have set up Man chukuo information bureau Nh the capital, headed by Bronson Rae, veteran newspaperman along the China coast. .. State department negotiators of in- creased liquor quotas propose that the U. s. A. go in for Irish. whiskey. They are sore at the British because they would increase their pork purchases only 1.3 per cent in return for American purchases of several hundred thousands gallons Of Scotch whiskey. What made them sorer was that the British embassy, with character istic vagueness, did not even answer the state departments proposal. They were too busy, they intimated, during the Christmas holidays.
 MORE BESIDES
 The ten billion dollars that the president said the government must raise in the next six months isn't all that will have to be bor- rowed this year. In the second half another five billion will have to be f1oated to meet maturing securities and a billion and-a-half of an anticipated new deficit arising from emergency expenditures. For circus employees there is nothing funny about their code their employers have proposed. Under its terms canvas men would receive
 $3.50 a week in cash, property men $4.65, porters the same, truck and tractor workers $5.85.

New Britain is seriously considering establishment of bridle path in one of it's parks. They are to be found in Hart lords parks, probably in other cities, too. Our smaller towns don't need them, for the simple reason that a score of dirt roads are still handy The New Britain idea, however, also includes a riding stable which would be leased for three year period. That might be something in which Waterbury could well interest it. self. Certainly Hamilton Park offers unusual opportunities for the develop ment of bridle paths.

When we discussed that national me- morial at St Louis to commemorate the early pioneers of the Mississippi Valley and the Louisiana Purchase we did not go into much detail about the plans. Some discussion might not be amiss. The pro-
 ject would cost not less than $25,000,0OO so its dimensions can be imagined. Thomas Jefferson is to be the outstand- ing figure in the memorial. There will be a building right on the river front. Then two long colonnades are to contain statu- ary commemorating all the historical fig ures linked with the valleys early his- tory. A memorial plaza will lead to the courthouse where the famous Dred Scot decision was given. Future plans en- vision Worlds Fair with the memorial as the show-piece. Not bad idea at all.

Generally credit has been given to William H. McGuffey, but at the McGuffey shrine in Oxford, Ohio, ample evidence is offered that the famous readers and spoilers were pro- duced by two men and not one.

Gen. Hugh S. johnson, NRA ad-
ministrator, will fly to Chicago
from California either tomorrow
or Wednesday to enter negotia-
tions to settle the strike of 800 i've
stock handlers which has para
lyzed the Union Stock Yards here
for a week.
Semiofficial word to this effect
was received by yards officials TO-
day.
Meanwhile, precautionary meas
ures we're taken to prevent gen.
eral strike when it was reported
that more than 5000 members of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen of Amer
lea might walk out in sympathy
with the stock handlers. Such a
step would force the major pack
ing plants to suspend.
Despite the inactivity at the
yards, there was no danger of a
meat shortage as enough dressed
meat can be shipped in from
other packing centers to supply
the needs of the Chicago terri
tory,

G.N.SO Major William E. KEEP

Capt. Orvil Anderson were en-
route to Rapid City, S. D., by
automobile today to supervise
camp-breaking there, while work
men packed the remains of the
wrecked stratosphere flight gon-

Ohio.
The three officers, who reached
a height of $1,000 feet before
the huge balloon was ripped by

which was climaxed by para

to comment.
All Of the valuable scientific
instruments were destroyed when
the gondola and what was left
of the huge balloon crashed near
Loomis, Neb., except the specto-
graph, which had been attached
to a parachute and hurled over
board.
While officers and Investigators
refused to comment, it was in.
dicated that it will be impossible
to CLEAN any information from
the fragments of scientific para
phernalia recovered. Major KEEP

as they minimized their own
narrow escape.
Loud was the wailing of Reuben
Johnson, in whose cornfield the
mammoth balloon dropped. Sou
venir hunters completed the de-
struction of his corn crop, and he
said his chickens were so nervous
they would stop laying.
Mr.. johnson said one of the
fliers had told him he would be
paid damages, and added:

Some increase in typhoid fever
has occurred in the drought areas
of the Middle West in recent

to determine the effect of the ex-
treme dry weather on health.
Aside from the gain in typhoid,
health conditions in the drought
area is about normal, according to
public health reports. In some
States typhoid showed a decline.
There have been reported 1923

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July
80 MISREPRESENTATION of
the private life of the late
John Dillinger, U. S. Public
Enemy No. /, upon the stage
here by members of his fam
lily, was under the fire of an
aroused clergy today.
The appearance of the fam
lily of John w. Dillinger, in
the role of thespians, describ-
ing the activities of the motor
ious outlaw, was denounced by
the Rev. Richard M. Millard,
pastor of the exclusive Broad
way Episcopal Church.
More than an hour before
the Dillinger act opened in the
local theater, police were called
to handle the long line of
ticket buyers.
The members Of the Dillin-
ger family who appeared on
the stage here on a percentage
basis were the elder Dillinger,
70; his son, Hubert; his daugh-
ter, Audrey Hancock, and her
husband, E m m It Hancock.
None of the Dillingers suf-
fered stage fright.
Hubert Dillinger told of the
visit of the outlaw to the
family home on Mooresville
last April 8. Hubert said he
told his father, ''I have a sur
prise for you," and led him to
the kitchen.

WINS
$4,000 AWARD

Countess Myra Edgerly Kor-
zybski, prominent artist, won a
$500 verdict in the District
Court of Appeals today against
Mrs. Grace Burnap Everett, as a
commission for painting minia-
lures on ivory of Mrs. Everett
and her late husband, Edward H.
Everett, and their two children.
According to the opinion, Mrs.
Everett is alleged to have hired
the countess to do the minia-
lures in 1926. The countess con-
tended that she had performed
her contract but was not paid,
and filed suit through Attorneys
Dion S. Birney and Paul E. Lesh.
Mrs. Everett, although admit
ting she had engaged the
countess to do miniatures of
her two children, denied she had
authorized the portraits of her
self and her husband. She
claimed she paid $500 for the
children's portraits and alleged
the work was not satisfactory.
Experts testified at the trial as
to the skill of the work. A
judgment was returned in favor
of the countess and was upheld
by the appellate court when Mhs.
Everett appealed. The countess,
a native of Poland, is now in
New York.

In Cash

UNISON, N. j., July 80
Q.NSO-Never judge a man
by his clothes
There was a man in a khaki
shirt and trousers with burlap
wrapped about his feet hiking
along the highway today.
Patrolman Seth John nson
thought he saw a vagrant and
took him to police headquarters.
Every pocket in the mans cloth
ing was carefully fastened with
safety pins.
Behind the safety pins were
rolls of currency totaling ex-
actly $4,000. The bills ranged
from 81 to $50 in denomina-
tions.
The man said he was George
Stephan, so, of Philadelphia,
and that the money represented
his life's savings-so what? He
said he was merely walking to
the seashore, having got off a
train at Red Bank by mistake.
He said he was walking because
he didn't care to pay another
fare.
A checkup revealed that Mr..
Stephan had been employed as
a blacksmith by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad for 80 years, was
retired, was regarded as a
thrifty citizen whose integrity
was beyond reproach.

SOVIET RENENS
DEBT PARLEYS

Negotiations between the United
States and Soviet Russia for a
settlement of American debt and
damage claims will be resumed at
the State Department Thursday,
it was announced today.
This announcement followed a
brief visit to the State Depart
ment by Alexander Troyanovsky,
the Soviet envoy.
Mr.. Troyanovsky brought word
that Moscow had authorized him
to resume the negotiations. This
led to the belief that the Soviet
government had abandoned it's
insistence on cash loan from
this Government as the price for
it's willingness to meet the debt
and damage claims.
This demand for cash loan
was the chief obstacle to a debt
settlement.

ter, Department of Agriculture
and other Government officials
today were studying measures to
protect the nations narket-basket.
A special committee, under Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace, is
already dealing with this problem.
Officials admit the danger and
hope to prevent price-gouging
through manipulation of surplus
stocks.
The Government is now buying
for slaughter cattle, sheep, and
other stock, which eventually may
reach 100000 head, in an effort
to salvage something from the
ravages of the drought.
If profiteering is attempted, as
scarcity of supplies is felt, the
Government is prepared to utilize
serves of drought-territory cattle
now being shipped to more fertile
States, and if necessary will have
at hand the accumulated stocks
of canned meat now being proc
essed for the needy.
It is generally admitted that
prices of dairy and beef products
will increase as a result Of the
drought, but the Government does
not intend to permit any unjustifi-
able profiteering.

unions in the Sheboygan indus
tries have ordered a holiday and
have petitioned the city council to
close stores, offices and industries
during the services.
According to Mr.. Brotz the riots
were precipitated when pickets
had broken faith" by turning
back a car of coal consigned to
the Kohler Company power plant
for maintaining the village water
supply and fire pro &C o n. A
squadron of police drove back the
pickets and escorted the coal Car
into the company yards.
Felix Olkives, organizer for the

day charged the riots were the re-
suits Of dad faith on the part of
the company"
He maintained that contrary to
agreement, more coal than was
needed to operate the village water
plant was being delivered to the
factory yards. He said when pick
cts attempted to halt delivery Of
the car, guards mauled the union
men.
Martial Law in Effect
Meanwhile the model village"
designed to give each laborer in
the Kholer plant a model home
with a patch of garden and a
green lawn, remained in the tight
grip of martial law.
National Guardsmen, modified
following the riot, maintained

Harlem entertainment is the
most fervid in the preSent-day
amusement picture. And Wash
ington'S own Cotton Club supplies
Harlem entertainment that vi
brates with hot rhythms and
teasing melodies.
The Three Sans, premier tap
dance trio, set a mark for speedy
rhythm stepping.
The Cotton Club floor show
could more properly be termed a
revue. It includes master of cere-
monies Bobby Chapman, Gypsy
West, the sepia harmony queen;
the Three Sans, also blues singers
and speciality dancers, not forget
ting a big beauty chorus that
sings and dances in a fashion
worthy of a Broadway revue.
Music is by Duke Eglin and his
dozen melody makers. The first
Cotton Club floor show is pre-
sented at midnight, with another
presentation at 2 a. m. and one
farther on in the early morning
hours.
Passing of the dry regime will
mean an added glamour at the
Cotton Club. This leading Harlem
resort of the Capital has what is
probably the biggest bar in Wash
ington, also a charming outdoor
garden for the summer months.
