gress Heights should not have re-
suited in Q reduction in service to

Double Democratic Chairman-Gen-

wall at the press conference when
President Roosevelt announced him
self for Republican Progressive Sen
ator Norris.
Mr.. Farley Immediately started a
whispered conversation with news
man about the weather. He shook
hands with a few others and bowed
himself out. If his face appeared to
grow q little redder, it must have
been due to ray of sunlight which
crossed his brow as he recalled what
Senator Norris has said about him.

Mussolini Seen Repair
ing Fences at Home in
Recall of De Bono.
RY PAIL MALLON.

BY PAUL MALLON.
NJ USSOLINI offered a good ex-
M cuse for the recall Of Gen.
IVt de Bono. He slipped out
1 \ word that his Ethiopian
campaigner was too old and too slow
to suit him.
The italian dictator may get away
with that logical unofficial explana-
ton in Italy, but not among the wise
boys here. The best of United States
diplomatic and military authorities
suspect a far more important half of
the story has not been told.
De Bono may be old and cau-
tiouS, but he is still MusSolini's
best general. Also. he is more
devoted Fascist than the Rome
CHIEF OF staff, with phom he
snapped jobs. His Ethiopian CAM
paiqn, as far as the military ell
perts here could see, Das fa,DleSs.
The change. stripped of official
hooey, means simply that Musso-
hni has moped his best general
home, where his best troops are
also.
The obvious deduction from this is
that Mussolini has decided his most
important front right now may be in
Italy, not Ethiopia.
See Link to British Vote.
But there is more to this theory
than deduction. War-wiSe authorities
have reason to believe the De Bono
recall had a close connection with
the British elections, which occurred
two days earlier.

MAIL ROADS HELD
ABOVE GUFFEYA ACT
Coal Purchase Rules for
U. S. Deals Believed
Not to Apply.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClhJeu F>IcSS.
Regardless of their mail contracts,
railroads were declared today by the
legal department of the Association OF
American Railroads to be exempt from
a ruling that companies dealing with
the Government must use coal mined
In compliance with the Guffey act.
The Bituminous Coal Commission
continued to study the case, meantime
withholding comment.
The opinion was prepared by r. V.
Fletcher of A. A. r. counsel in re-
sponse to a request from James B.
Hill, president of the Louisville d
Nashville Railroad Co.
The opinion set out that the COM
missions ruling was addressed to the
Treasury Procurement Division, which
deals exclusively with the purchase OF
supplies.
The mails are carried on space
basis" officials of the association said,
and could not properly be classified as
under the jurisdiction of the procure
ment division.
The Guffey act seeks to impose a
"little N. R. A." on the soft coal in
dustry through imposition of wage,
hour and production code enforced
by Is per cent tax, most of which
Is rebated to complying producers.
Senator Guffey, Democrat, of Penn
sylvania, forecast meanwhile that if
his coal control law is upheld by the
Supreme Court the same kind of leg
islation will be applied to number
OF other industries, particularly those
involving natural resources.
Guffey said he had already been
urged by anthracite miners and opera
tors to apply similar control to their
industry He said he had replied that
he would do nothing until the Su-
preme Court acts.

A week ago they picked up in
formation that Stanley Baldwin hae
promised the British Labor party II
put an end to Mussolini if the Ma
tional government was returned Il
power. British labor is afraid Of faS
cism. would like to see Mussolini SEN
to st. Helena. That is supposed to bt
why they offered no more formidable
campaign against the return of tht
Baldwinites.
At any rate, the insiders here
hare been wondering since the
Balduin uictory whether he Wil
press for MusSolinis dopntaH or
turn him into a British marion
cite. They toresee no other pos
sibilitieS.
To them, therefore, the return o.
De Bono means that Mussolini viii

Luck and Diplomacy.
It was luck as much as British di
plomacy which put the worlds great
est dictator since Napoleon into tn
pickle jar out of which he is now at
tempting to scramble.
British diplomdtiSts themselves
are said to hare been surprised at
the ease ,Dith which they corralled
the small nations. 1t is Uell knoWn

deserttng the united front against

A full explanation for Hitler's move
is still lacking. The best guess Is thai
he noted the Franco-British lineup
with New Deal moral support behind
it, and decided to join the side with
the largest numbers. A convincing
factor is supposed to have been re.
port from his army heads that hi

There may have been other reasons

one.

FRIENDS TOFORCE
B0RAH'S ANSWER
Will Enter Idahoan'S Name
in G. o. P. Primaries Un-
less "No" Given.
BY the Associated Press.

Word reached the Capital today that
friends of Senator Borah will enter
his name in q number of next years
presidential primaries unless they get
positive mo- from the Idaho Re-
publican. Coming from reliable polit-
ical sources, this word served to en-
phasize the possibility Of q spectacu-
lar duel between Borah and former
President Hoover. either over the Re-
publican nomination or the course
the party shall take.
Whether or not Borah and Hoover
become avowed candidates for the
nomination, this and other recent de-
velopments have indicated they are
rapidly moving into the leadership Of
TWO opposing factions within the
party.
Talk Only Of Issues.
Both are avoiding discussion Of can
didates and talking only Of issues. but
the issues they present are In sharp
contrast. Borah has minimized the
spending issue, which Hoover has
stressed, and advanced instead the
question Of monopoly. Furthermore,
the Idaho Senator has pointedly de-
manded reorganization Of party lead
ership.
While Borah has refused to commit
himself on his 1896 plans, the activity
OF his friends out In the States vir-
tually assures that the Idahoan's
name and views will 60 before the
primary voters and-if he wins-the
national convention.
When Borah arrived here last week.
his reply to inquiries as to whether he
would enter the primaries was: II
can't say won't" According to word
reaching here, unless he eliminates
himself more positively than that, his
name will be entered.
Most Of the primary States do not
require the consent Of Q candidate for
his name to be entered in the prefer
ential primaries. His friends can do
It for him. Ohio Is q notable excep-
ton to this rule.
Might Attract Opposition.
There have been no indications yet
whether Borah, II his name should be
entered, would have any opposition.
The Borah entry might force op-
ponents into the races also, particu-
larry If he should run in the home
States OF other candidates.
Hoover has declined to comment on
his plans and his friends have in
sisted he was interested only In issues.
But Borah has said that Hoover's
friends are organizing, and there have
been reports that the former Presi-
dent has been strongly urged to run
by those corresponding with him.
There has bsen q deep gulf between
Borah and Hoover since shortly after
the Senator was the leading cam
paigrer for the Californian in 1928.
When Hoover ran for reelection In
1882 Borah sat. on the sidelines.
Since Hoover's defeat, Borah has
been calling for q reorganization Of
the Republican party. He has de-
manded that those formerly in con-
troll Of policies step down and let new
leaders take their places.

BY HARRY IL. PERCY United Press Stan Correspondent)

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Aintree, England, March 29.- (UP)-Firm footing enhanced Americas chance of winning the. 97th Grand National Steeplechase to-day as Miss Dorothy Paget's wonder horse, Golden Miller went to the barrier to meet the chaci- lenge of 26 other jumpers over the hazardous AZ mile Aintree course. The horses in the race-five of them American owned-also car- ried the hopes of Americans and other ticket holders in the Irish Sweepstakes who may win as much as $143,000 on the winner. The day was dull and light showers were forecast, but Ameri- can owners clung to, the hope that there would be no last minute change in the smooth, dry, fast track over which they saw their. best chance against the favorite, superior mudder. It was not expected that slight rain would alter the firmness of the track.
 Of F leading newspaper experts, Il picked Golden Miller to win, five Thomond II, one Tapinois.
 The Prince of Wales came to sec the race.
 Golden Miller, winner last year in record time, was backed down to 9 to as post time neared, ard 1t was predicted he would go down to 3 to l, to be the hottest fav- orite in Grand National history.
 But over probable fast footing at least two American owned horses, Jock Whitney's Thomond II and c. H. Bostwick's Castle Irwell, were supported at shortening odds by the scores Of thousands packed into the grandstand and banked at the jumps.
 Thomond carried only 167 pounds and Rostwick himself strad- died Castle Irwell with an impoat of 150, against 175, top weight, allotted to the powerful, eight-ycar old favorite.
 Its Americas day." was free ly predicted, as the odds on Tho mond, second choice, were ham, mered down and down to 6-1, with Castle Irwell fourth choice at 20-
 Whitney's Royal Ransom, sad- uleu WlLu IOI pOuuuS, WdS gwen a chance and placed among the probable leadersr at 25-1, while Jesse Metcalfs Theras, at 66-1, ant M. D. Blair's Bouquet, 10O-1, com pleted the American field with little hope of scoring.
 F. F. Peek's Tapinois was a 19- 2 choice, just behind Thomond as a possibility to clear the hurdles and water jumps in front and rob Gold en Miller of a place beside only five previousu double winners, only two of which made it two in a row in the history of the punish ing grind.
 The horses got their final prep aration at dawn, a pipe-openins ga[lops for the last touch of con- ditioning which attracted hun dreds of spectators from nearby Liverpool, eager to get an ad- vance glimpse of their choice. To the winner the race was worth turf fame and about $32,- 900.
