WASHINGTON HEADLINERS
All Republicans Look Alike To McNy Senate G. P Leader

By HERBERT PLUMMER
Cry Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, April H.
knowledge of two facts in the life
of Charles LIMA McNary helps
one understand the type of man
who guides the republican party's
destinies in the United States sem
ate.
One is that his seat in the sem
ate chamber is between "Puddler
Jim" Davis of Pennsylvania, G. o..
P. old guardsman, and Hiram
Johnson of California, one of the
most voeiferous of republican in
surgents.
This demonstrates the working
of his political credO-"All re-
publicans look alike to me-"
The other is the specially con-
structed sand trap on the side of
hill at his home in Oregon where
he practices with his untrust-
worthy niblick.
Generally l am in the bunkers
while playing golf with Pat Harri-
son (of Mississippi and Jim Cou-
zens (of Michigan) in Washing
ton," he explains.
Pat" and Charlie
The blonde, dapper republican
leader and the man sometimes de-
scribed as the Mississippi "gad-
fly" are close personal friends.
When one has to be absent when
an important vote is taken, invar-
iably they are paired.
"You see Pat" McNary tells the
clerk when he must be absent.
"Hf'll take care of me-"
"You see Charlie" says Pat.
Hell look after me-"
McNary's popularity bridges
the aisle dividing one party from
the other, in the senate chamber.
Almost everyone agrees that his
knack of getting along with his
opponents as minority leader
makes the senate a happier and
Notwithstanding unit than it
otherwise would be.
Tall, suave and gracious, he has
a boyish countenance despite the
fact he will be go years old in
June. He has been pronounced
one of the best-groomed, if not
best-dressed, men in the senate.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1934-04-11

Almost always smiling, he has
an attractive air of easy formal
ity. One is likely to encounter
him in a senate corridor whistling
some popular song as his long legs
convey him easily-almost jaunt-
ily-to his destination.
Those long legs represent one
of his political assets. For McNary
is not given to long speeches. His
r0strums are the cloakrooms and
the seemingly endless corridors OF
the capitol and senate office build
ing.
Born on farm, he loses no
time in getting back to his vast
acres when the senate adjourns. 1t
hardly could be called a farm now,

Recommend improvements At Navy
Air School At Pensacola Station

WASHINGTON, April IL.
A trip in a navy plane to
Pensacola convinced two
members of the house naval
committee, Representatives
Darden of Virginia, and
Zioncheck of Washington,
both democrats, that there is
need for permanent i'm
provements at the navy air
school there.
Representative Caldwell,
in whose district the station
is located. naturally is in
favor of the improvements,
and he is the third member

Two BANK SUITS
SEEK $2,341,645
Actions Ask to Have Riggs
Reinstate Swartzel
Account.

Trial of two suits against the Riggs
National Bank to reinstate all or part
of a $2,341 ,645. 80 account of the now
defunct Swartzell, Rheem g. Hensey
Co. for the benefit of note holders
was begun before Justice Jesse C.. Ad-
kins in District Supreme Court today.
The suits involve the release Of q
trust from the Shoreham Building on
the strength Of the Swartzell COM
pany's account in the Riggs Bank and
the subsequent failure of the COM
pany to pay of approximately $780,
900 Of notes covered by the trust.
1t is alleged the funds were re-
moved from a special fiduciary ac-
count and placed in the general ac-
count Of the Swartzell company as
soon as the trust had been released.
The Shoreham Building then was
sold to the Shoreham Investment
Corporation. in which former Secre-
tary Of War Patrick ]. Hurley was
interested.
Opening statements were made
today by attorneys on both sides. At
torneys for the plaintiffs are Fred B.
Rhodes, Marcus Borchardt and H.
Prescott Galley. Representating the
bank are Frank j. Hogan and Edmund
L. Jones'
Rhodes told the court he does not
contend the bank had any idea the
noteholders would be defrauded, but
that its action in permitting with
drawal OF funds from the f1duciary
account constituted constructive fraud.
Mr.. Hogan contended the transac-
ton was accomplished In the ordinary
course Of business and the bank had
no knowledge Of its effect.
The cases. Colby against the Riggs
National Bank and Wehner against
the Riggs National Bank, were filed
In May. 1881. The decision would
affect the claims of the other note
holders.

He said leaders of medicine, public
health and social service had a con-
tribution to make to such program,
sorely needed as a result Of the de-
preston.
"A substantial appropriation IS
urgently needed" he said, Ito provide,
temporarily at least. for Federal
assistance to States in order that
fundamental public health services
may be restored and that an orderly
and progressive development Of county
or district health services may be
instituted"
Prof. Hiscock said the Red Cross,
with its chapters throughout the
country, "has great opportunity" to
aid in such a program.
There never was time when the
need for leadership was more ap-
parent than today" he concluded.
This is national as well as a local

1HSULL UNDERGOES.
MINOR OPERATION
Fugitive in Pleasant Mood
Despite NearneSS OF
Extradition Date.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ISTANBUL, April 1Q.-Samuel In
sull underwent an operation in an
Istanbul Jail infirmary today for the
removal of an abscess from his left
thumb.
The regular prison physician per-
formed the operation.
Attendants said the famous patient
submitted smilingly and seemed in q
pleasant mood, despite the probability
that he will soon be started for the
United States and trial on embezzle-
ment and fraud charges in Chicago.
Still Hopeful.
Today, while American authorities
went ahead with plans for the fugi-
tive's return, insults lawyers insisted
they still had not abandoned hope.
After further conferences with their
74-year client, they announced
they had not played their trump
card" in the fight against extradition-
Some saw in a Turkish legislative
move for an explanation of the gov
ernment's handling of the insult case
the influence of the insult legal staff.
Delay Threatened.
Suleiman Sirri Bey. independent
member of the Chamber of Deputies,
brought a threat of possible further
delay in Insults departure with the
demand for an explanation.
At Ankara, the capital, he filed an
Interpolation calling upon the minis
ter of justice to supply particulars.
Today, this official gave no indication
when he would reply.
United States Ambassador Robert P.
Skinner said he still was considering
placing insult aboard the American
Export Line ship Executive.
This vessel leaves Istanbul tomor-
row, but it is probable insult would
be taken aboard at some other port
possibly Smyrna.
insults attorneys visited him early
today and told him they were con-
sldering appealing to the State Coun-
cil-Turkeys highest judicial body
against his extradition.
The lawyers have not decided def
nitely, but the necessity for quick
action was evident.

Teaching Needs in American
Schools Cited to Red Cross
Superintendent of Pennsyluania's De.
partn,ent of Public Instruction Urges
More Professionally Trained.

The public must be convinced that
more professionally trained teachers
must be provided in American schools
"or pay the penalty Of a lessened eco
nomic efficiency, lowered social and
Intellectual tone in the community
and increased costs for juvenile de-
linquency and crime generally" James
N. Rule, superintendent Of Pennsyl-
vania's department Of public instruc-
ton, told the American Red Cross to-
day.
There are some things in this world
that nations, communities and indi-
viduals must pay the price to have, or
pay the greater penalty for not hav-
ing" Rule said. Nations must pay
for peace the price of the sacrifice of
selfish ambitions or pay the vastly
greater cost Of war.
Two Alternatives.
Communities must pay for social
and physical well being the price Of
maintaining good schools and whole
some, healthful living conditions or
pay the greater cost Of disease, ignor-
ance and crime.
individuals must pay for success
the price Of adequate preparation and
Of unremitting toll or pay the penalty
Of loss Of prestige and earning power.
The question Is not one Of paying. We
must pay, either the price Of having,
or the greater penalty Of not having,
the essentials Of sound and safe So
cial order"
Rue said one Of the most important
tasks confronting the schools of to-
morrow is that of providing young
people with habits and means Of using
their leisure time ''sanely, safely and
constructively to the end that In
these free hours of peril or profit de-
velopment Of personality may continue
onward and upward to ever richer
levels of attainment"
Business men, he said, could well
afford to pay the costs Of courses in
fine and practical arts so that the
youth of today would become the
better customers Of tomorrow.
Courses in art, music, literature,
physical education and In the various
fine and practical arts produce dis
eliminating and profitable consumers
of the better articles Of commerce" !"
said Rule.
"Such courses have long since
passed out of the fad and fril stage
and are our most practical and nee
essary studies and activities.
Business could well afford to pay
their entire cost and charge it up to
advertising in order to make these
avocational and recreational activ-
tiles in our public schools universally
available to all adolescent girls and
boys"
The work of the Red Cross in
peace and war time was the subject
of a round table conference yesterday
