ou, ~ as he spoke. The grind
-, of legislation and the
disputes of the day
were forgotten in congress as both
house and senate paused while glowing
words were said in memory of the re-
tired justice. Funeral services were
held In Washington, attended by the
President and Mrs Roosevelt, and men,
bers Of the Supreme court. After the
ceremony. Holmes was given military
burial In Arlington National cemetery,
as befitted one who had served his
nation so CALAMITY. Justice Holmes
was born in Boston, the son of the
noted American poet of the same name.
He entered Harvard and was in his
senior year when the Civil war began.
He enlisted as a lieutenant, was pro-
NOTED to captaincy and retired with
the rank Of colonel. He was wounded
three times. After the war he returned
to school and obtained his law degree.

him to the United States Supreme
court. On October 4, 1923, when he
was eighty-seven years old. he became
the oldest man ever to sit on the
bench of the Supreme court. He re-
tired in January. 1882.
CENATE administration leaders have
- decided to virtually abolish NRA
in its place plan of lf-government
in business, eliminating present coer-
Give measures, and giving over admin
istrative functions Of the new program
to the federal trade commission. Thus
would end one of the administrations
periments. In its general form, the
plan calls for permission to Join in vol
untary codes regulating trade practices
and eliminating unfair competition.
Price fixing will be outlawed. Bust
ness and industry will agree to mini
mum wages and maximum hours, and
only when these standards are violated,
can the government apply compulsory
codes.
At the same time United States Dis
trict Judge w. G. Borah, in New Or
leans, denied government petition to
compel box manufacturer to comply
with the maximum hour and minimum
wage provisions of the lumber code,
ruling that the national industrial re-
covery act is unconstitutional. The
ruling is expected to bring before the
United States Supreme court the con-
stitutionality of the interstate COM
merce clause of the lumber code.
II ok HIROTA, Japanese foreign
II minister, sees in the dispute over
settlement of Japanese farmers in Arr
IONA, spark which may ignite flames
of discomfort and cause regrettable
consequences between Japan and the
United States, he told the lower house
of the Japanese diet. He expressed
extreme regret that American authori-
ties had not been able to settle the
matter, and said he was pressing for
an early solution. Exclusion of the
Japanese has been asked under the
alien land ownership law, and it is
probable that no fundamental solu-
ton can be arrived at until the ex-
clusion clause Of the immigration act,
which has been hanging fire since 1924
has been settled.
@ CLAY WILLIAMS, head Of the
" NRA, rendered his resignation to
the President, starting what is ex-
pected to be wholesale housekeeping
of the recovery administrations high
command. Chairman Williams ex-
planned his action by saying that he
had to return to his job as head Of
one of the country's largest tobacco
companies. Three of the four remain
ing members of the board, Arthur D..
Whiteside. Walton Hamilton. and Sid
ney Hillman, are known to have their
designations ready. Rumors say that
the President will not fill the vacancies,
but will return the NRA to a one-man
command.
MONEY markets Of the world react
IN1 ed violently after President Roose-
Welt declared his administration would
seek further lacking up of commodity
prices. Stocks rallied In New York,
government bonds sagged. and the fall
ing British pound rose four cents. The
President hurriedly issued another
statement explaining that his advocacy
of higher prices did not mean further
devaluation of the dollar, at least not
for the present. The first statement
was made by the President at press
conference when he was asked IL he
believed prices had now risen sufficient
ly to warrant sterilization. He re-
piled that they had not; that they
were still too low in relation to debts.
that nearly 1000 aviators and sew
eral squadrons of planes have sailed
for East Africa. and that second
wave of troops has been started to
Join the 10000 already massed in So
maitland. General Graziana has been
named governor of Somaliland and
commander of the troops.
CHANCELLOR HITLER was not
~ pleased with announcement that
Sir John Simon, British foreign secre-
tary. would visit him to discuss the
proposed Anglo-British pact. He sent
