WEATHER GOOD
FOR LOVERS
Of BOOKS

This is about the only time
Of the year when fiction lovers
can catch up on back reading
and still keep a weather eye
on the publishing parade. Once
you have made your pick Of
the current books, you will find
1t both pleasant and profitable
to look up those best sellers,
which somehow got eliminated
from last years list.
First in line, naturally would
be Caroline Miller'S Lamb in
His Bosom" which took the
Pulitzer prize award in 1884
and which, according to a
young lady in one of our local
book shops, had a hard time
winning friends during its de-
but.
Not, we hasten to assure you,
after a glance beyond the title
page. Lamb in His Bosom"
has a simple, direct appeal
which absorbs the most re-
luctant reader. Moreover al
most every chapter in the book
Is based on actual fact. In
consequence, this valiant story,
embracing four generations Of
pioneer women, soon caught on
to public fancy and reached
its fifth edition early last
summer.
Now, there is a waiting list
at almost every lending library.
Mrs. Miller couples a great un.
derstanding of the, fundamen-
tai emotions with remarkable
facility of expression, and what
might so easily have been a
humdrum account of ceaseleSs
hardship becomes a beautiful
piece of writing.
If you read it once, you will
remember it always.

Plans for Peace

"In 1914, so sensitive was the
war trigger that any nation,
tribe or even a single individual
could have started a war at an
hours notice, though no human
power, however great, could
stop it when once it had begun"
To stop it, therefore, before it
gets started, is the purpose of
Carrie Chapman Gait, who
helped to organize the National
Committee on the Cause and
Cure Of War, which marked
its tenth anniversary by a
meeting in Washington last
week.
''Why Wars Must Cease" a
new book, sponsored by this COM
mittee. also came out last week,
offering a powerful symposium
against war, with nine other
women emphasizing the lines
quoted from Mrs. Gait.
Prominent among the assem-
bly, is Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
velt who, in squarely facing
facts, succeeds in illustrating
her theory that "the war idea
is obsolete as far as settling
difficulties between nations is
concerned"
Mrs. William Brown Meloney
finds the very term "cost of
war; misleading and declares
that not even Einstein could
arrive at an accurate estimate
Of the total Of the last one.
Florence B. Boeckel, who sets
out to blast the theory that war
benefits business, cagily OBJ
serves that although immediate
1y after the war there is a
collapse followed by a quick
pickup in business, the serious
depression comes several years
later.
Speaking of national offense
and defense, Dorothy Garfield
Fisher applauds President
Roosevelt's suggestion that "a
defensive war is one in which
. country's army and navy are
within it's own bounds. If they
are on some other nations land
or water, the war is offensive. I"
And so it goes. from one
learned discourse to another.
And with it will go many a read
er's sympathy to the final con-
cluSion that any practice so
false in theory, brutal in appH-
cation and demoralizing to the
human race must be abolished" "

NEW FRAZIER BILL
WOULD SOAK RICH
Six.Point Social Security
Plan Seeks SIS, 900, ,00O,-
600 as Start.

A six-point social security plan to
be financed ultimately by a soak
the rich" taxation program, was
ready today for submission to Con-
gress by Senator Frazier, Republican,
of North Dakota.
The measure, covering all forms OF
insurance and providing an initial
Federal appropriation of $4,000, ,000,-
900. is sponsored by the Inter-Pro-
fessional Association of Social In
surance. headed by Miss Mary Van
Kleeck OF New York.
Miss Van Kleeck seeks support Of
Townsend followers and hackers Of
the Lundeen workers insurance bill.
No Age Pension Rates Set.
Her plan would provide unemploy-
ment insurance, insurance Of self
employed such as independent pro-
fessional wor kers, farmers and small
business owners: insurance covering
all forms of disability, old age. ma
ternlty and widows and mothers in
surance.
No old-age pension rates were men,
toned in the organizations announce
ment. Frazier, in letter to Miss Van
Kleeck, said the unemployment bene-
fits would be equal to average wages
in the occupation in the community"
and would extend over the entire
period a person was out Of work.
Future funds to cover compensa-
tionS payable, after the first $5,000,-
100000 was used up, would come
from higher taxes on big incomes,
corporate surpluSeS "and other ac-
cumulated wealth." Frazier said.
The declaration of policy" he
added, declares against pay roll
taxes. sales taxes or any other taxa
ton which places the burden upon
workers, farmers or small business
men whose standard Of living 1t is the
purpose Of the act to protect"
Frazier said since the original ap-
preparation was contemplated through
an outright Treasure grant, there is
no doubt that the proposal is con-
stitutional under the general welfare
clause"
The present social security act does
not protect farmers, Frazier said.

duction to prosperity levels in many
industries, the government anticipated
big tax returns and stringent admin
istrative economies, adopted TO com.
both ends meet.
The budget deficit last year was g.
s1e, 900 900 lire, or about one-third Of
the budget, but Of that amount, $780,
100000 lire was the cost Of the 1894
loan conversion.
Those bonds, which were the 312
per cent issues now being exchanged
for the new per cent war issue.
replaced q former 5 per cent issue.
That effort to reduce interest charges
was abandoned to raise money for the
Ethiopian venture.
Statistics show plenty Of money
available in Italy for war, or for any
thing else. The savings accounts in
government and private banks total
3s,S75 100000 lire ($3,110, ,0oo, ,00o)-
enough to run the war for years If
the problem Of gold payments abroad
can be solved.
Financial sanctions, cutting Of the
channels Of credit from League Of
Nations power to Italy, are regarded
by oficials here as more Of q nuisance
than a curb.
Italy has not borrowed abroad re-
Gently and the war was undertaken
with a knowledge that foreign loans
would not be available for two reasons
First, Mussolini has long made it q
matter Of pride not to float loans
abroad. Second, Italian authorities
say financial conditions In other
European countries would have made
it dificult to borrow from them In any
case.

BYRNS ADVOCATES
MORE AIR POWER
Alaskan Base and Hawaii
Fortifications Are Urged
by Speaker.
BY the Associated Press.

by JHo ASbOClhbcu EIcbSs
The issue of greater national de-
fense, with the air force as a spear
head. was thrust into the forefront
of the congressional program today
by Speaker Byrns.
With a declaration that prepared
ness for war is good insurance against
it." Byrns-not long since returned
from trip across the Pacific-bespoke
support for air power. an Alaskan base
and Hawaiian Notifications strength
ened as much as is necessary"
He said the issue Of an adequate
national defense should be one Of the
highlights of the session opening
Friday.
Opposition from some Midwest
Congress members and farm organi-
cations opposed to larger military ex-
penSes was foreseen by the Speaker
when a big defense budget reaches
the House.
500 Planes on Program.
Besides Byrns, some other men,
bers of the House are pressing for
national defense action. Secretary
Dern recently recommended the pur-
chase OF 800 planes annually for FIVE
years.
No major legislation is needed from
the Military or Naval Committees,
Byrns said, because the necessary
authorizations exist for building up
the defense forces. All the money
has not been voted, however.
Rumblings of the opposition al
ready have been heard. Senator
Frazier, Republican, of North Dakota,
in a recent address demanded the end
to billion dollar defense appropri-
ationS as pointing the Nation toward
bankruptcy" The same day a con-
tract was let for 100 fast Army air
craft costing $2.065,074.
Byrns was not prepared to say
whether the present plans call for q
greater appropriation than last ses-
sion's record peace-time high.
IT do believe we need an air force
and base in Alaska" he declared. Il
think our entire air force should be
built up to the minimum the War De-
partment regards as safe. And be-
lieve our Notifications in Hawaii
should be strengthened as much as is
necessary, although if you ask me how
much that is can't say
The Speaker gave no specific rea-
sons for the necessity of improved
Alaskan and Hawaiian defenses. The
Territories have been described to
congressional committees as corridors
for any potential attack from across
the Pacific.
The Wilcox afr base act author
ICES huge Alaskan air base. Chair
man Parks of a subcommittee ham
ding the Army appropriation bill
already has said he would attempt
to obtain inclusion of funds for COM
pleting Hawaiian defenses.

CHAIN RADIO SK|TS
TO GET F. c. c. RULE
Commission to Exercise Au-
thority in Next Few
Months.
BY the Associated Press.

BY Inc Associated PreSs.
The Federal Communications Com
mission is preparing to step into the
field Of chain broadcasting regula-
ton.
Under the 1884 communications
act, the commission is authorized to
impose regulations governing chain
broadcasting, but has not done so
except so far as networks were al
fected by regulation of individual
radio stations.
A high commission source said
today the new regulations probably
will be issued within the next few
months. The commission has con-
Quoted field tests to determine to
what extent the present network
set-up has resulted in duplication
Of programs.
The regulations. 1t was said, prob
ably will be designed to eliminate
undue duplication. Commission Off
cials declared 1t would be possible to
chart the general station alignments
on networks to insure variety OF
programs to listeners throughout the
country.
Program duplication now is par
ticularly apparent, it was said, in
rural areas where listeners may
receive only two or three high-powered
stations, all of which may be offering
the same presentations.
The chain broadcast regulation Is
expected to be tied in with the COM
mission study of a broad rearrange-
ment o. present channels.
This study is pointed toward deter
mining the advisability of stepping
up power and readjusting wave
lengths of certain stations to bring
about greater program balance"

GIRL, NEAR DEATH,
ACCUSES SISTER

Alleged Attempt to Mur-
der With Ak.
By the Associated Press.

MOUNT VERNON, H., December
30.-Mrs. Ruth Laird, "a, q widow,
was held by authorities on q charge
of assault with intent to murder in the
ak wounding of her younger sister,
who lay near death from a fractured
skull today.
The girl, Margaret Cummins, IT.
year-old high school senior, suffering
from injury and exposure. was found
in the snow on a highway near here
Saturday night.
Accuses Sister.
During a brief period Of conscious
ness, she told State Attorney George
w. Howard, jr., her sister struck her
twice with an ak after a dispute over
attending church.
When Mrs. Laird was arrested, police
reported they found a blood stained
ak in her home, blood marks in a
room in the house and In her auto
mobile.
Mrs. Laird, her sisters legal guard
ian, denied she had struck the girl,
expressing the belief she had been
run down by an automobile on the
highway.
Insurance Policy Likely Motive.
Howard, however, asserted she
bundled her sister in the automobile
and left her on the highway after
striking her with the AK. He said a
possible motive was a $500 insurance
policy Miss Cummins carried, payable
to her sister.
If the girl dled-the physicians gave
her little chance to survive-Howard
said he would file f1rst-degree murder
charges against Mrs. Laird.
