LAVAL IN WARSAW

Seeks to Ease Apprehension
Aroused by Franco Russian
Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

WARSAW, May 1.-THE relation
ship between Poland and France
slightly cooler since the signing of the
Franco-Russian pact which has wor-
ried WarSaw-will be discussed be-
tween Polish statesmen and French
Foreign Minister Pierre Laval, in
formed sources said today.
Political circles said a discussion
Of general security pact is projected,
and it is expected that Laval would
explain the meaning of the Franco
Russian pact of mutual assistance.
The pact does not formally affect
Poland. but Warsaw has interpreted it
in various ways, some of which appear
to be detrimental to Poland.
The newspapers asked editorially
for a solution of the Franco-Polish
difficulties. and some demanded a
correction of what they described as
a French belief that France has helped
Poland greatly in a financial way.
One Of the newspapers said: "The
main mistake is that France wants to
direct polish policy, not realizing that
Poland has become a strong country
with which France should cooperate. :"
When Laval arrived last night to be
the guest of Foreign Minister Joseph
Beck, it was learned that Marshal Jo-
seph Pilsudski, the dictator, was Ill.

Death of Witherspoon Is Shock.
Seasons Plan to Be
Completed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 1l.-With the
sudden death of Herbert Witherspoon
the future direction of the Metropol-
itan Opera was once more the topic
Of dominant interest in music circles
today.
Paul D. Cravath, chairman of the
operas Board of Directors. was ex-
pected within the next few days to
call q meeting to consider a successor
to Mr.. Witherspoon who. but few
weeks ago. had succeeded Giulio Gatti-
CasaZza as general manager Of the
world famous Met"
With much work still to do on the
coming seasons plans, little delay was
looked for.
Mr.. Witherspoon, who had intended
to sail with his wife for Europe today,
had completed the preliminary an
nouncement of the 1856 season but
a few hours before his death late
yesterday.
Death, resulting almost instantane-
ously from a heart attack, came a few
hours after the first 1856 posters
bearing his name and title had been
pasted up outside the historic opera
building
Earle Lewis, treasurer of the Metro
politan Opera Association, who, with
Mr.. Witherspoon. had just entered the
opera Offices. said:
HE simply sank to the floor and
that was all. I thought at first he
had stumbled. put out my hand to
steady him and he fell. 1t was all
over in q minute"

love birds and other pets from various
points along the way.
The dogs apparently did not ap-

serenading the Byrd party early in the
morning all the dogs sprang to at
tention and such a chorus of barking
arose that the band scarcely could be

4 BALKAN STATES
OK. REARMAMENT
Bulgarian and Hungarian
Participation in Pact
a Condition.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, May IL
Representatives of four Balkan states
decided after five-hour discussion
today, an authoritative source revealed,
to allow the rearmament of Bulgaria
and Hungary. provided those states
agreed to join IN pact Of nom
aggression and mutual assistance with
Yugoslavia, Rumania, Turkey, CSecho-
slovakia and Greece.
The four statesmen, Foreign Min
lsters Nicholas T1tulescu of Rumania,
Demetrios Maximos of Greece, Tewf1k
Aras OF Turkey and Premier Bogoljub
Yevtich of YugoSlavia. this authorita-
tive source said, agreed that for prac-
tical purposes the Balkan pact states
would record at the Rome Conference
Of Central European Affairs formal
veto Of the request of Bulgaria and
Hungary for rearmament.
Would Force Pact Aid.
Should the great powers, however,
authorize such increase in national
defenses of the two nations. the Bal
kan states would use their formerly
recorded veto to force entrance of
Bulgaria and Hungary into the pro-
posed mutual assistance pact.
At today's session Turkey presented
also the difficult question of rearming
the Dardanelles, arguing that as she
has fought and suffered with Ger
many and the other defeated states
she ought to be allowed like those
nations to rearm.
The conference decided. however,
that this was a matter for the great
powers to deal with. The delegates
took cogniZance of the fact that Eng
land had showed a disposition to
modify the Lausanne treaty covering
the status of the straits, provided the
proposed Mediterranean pact was con-
cluded and provided further that re-
armament of the Dardanelles should
be accomplished under international
control.
Yevtich Goes to Belgrade.
King Carol received the delegates
after todays meeting, after which
Premier Yevtich left for Belgrade.
The remaining delegates will hold
their final session tomorrow morning.
at which time they have promised an
official communique concerning their
findings and decisions.
Sources connected with the session
today intimated that the question of
Austrian rearmament had not been
specifically mentioned, the attitude
being that Austria was outside the
usual orbit of Balkan States.

What's What

Bonus Bill Delay Seen
Move to Enlist Cough
Inns Help.
BY PAUL MALLON.

IT APPEARS Father Coughlin has
become the Nations greatest fur
mace man of all time. Al least
/ he is gaining that reputation,
rightly or wrongly. In circles
where it will do him the most good
in Washington.
For example, euen the bonus
lobbyists, Dho know all there is to
knoD, Uere aghaSt 1Dh'n Senator
Thomas made a motiGn in the
Senate the other day 10 hold up
his olDn Pntnan infdtionary bonus
bill 1t looked as it Thomas
intended Staying his o,Dn child.
That is, they were aghast until they
dashed downstairs to associates of
Senator Thomas, who explained with
q wink:
He is just holding the bill up for
a few days so Father Coughlin can
turn the heat on President Roosevelt
to sign it."
Official Excuse.
The excuse officially offered was
that the American Legion and Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars were to in
crease temperatures both inside the
White House and Congress. This was
really an afterthought. Every one
connected with the show knew Father
Coughlin was the man. He mas out
moded the tactics of the veterans
lobbies, which were preeminent in the
Washington field until he discovered
the radio. He is supposed to have
influence which reaches higher than
they ever hoped to.

WALLACE PLEADS
FOR FIGHT.
In Domain of Long, Cabinet
Member Says Farm
Tariff Works.
BY the Associated Press.

ALEXANDRIA. La, May ll.-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace, addressing a Statewide agri-
cultural rally here today in the
domain of his frequent critic, Senator
Huey p. Long. called upon the farmers
of the Nation to stand firm In their
support of the agricultural adjustment
act
"It is time for farmers to get up
on their hind legs and fight for what
they know to be simple justice" he
said.
Two weeks ago Senator Long fired
a blast against the A. A. A. and the
New Deal policies in Secretary Wal
lace's home city, Des Moines.
Pleads For Unity.
"The next few weeks will be crucial"
said the cabinet member. IF the
ranks of agriculture hold firm we have
some chance to improve the agricul-
tural adjustment act and come closer
to winning for agriculture its fair
share of the national income, but II
the ranks of agriculture are divided
it is almost certainty that what
farmers have battled for for Is years
will be lost"
Secretary Wallace declared the farm
situation changed when President
Roosevelt came into Office.
Since the farmer has to buy in
protected market, the farm program
of the New Deal found way to help
him sell in a protected market. For
the first time, through the device OF
the processing tax, the majority of
farmers had a tariff that actually
worked for them.
THE agricultural adjustment act
borrowed the centralizing power of
Government so that agriculture might
at least begin to win back little Of
its fair share Of the national income.
Now that these governmental
powers have been used by millions Of
farmers for two years, the cry has
arisen that they must be taken away.
I do not hear this cry from any large
number Of farmers"
Defends A. A. A.
The agricultural chief vigorously de-
Tended the A. A. A., declaring repre-
sentatives Of business have no right to
complain about production control
under that program.
Those who charge the A. A. A.
with inducing scarcity simply do not
know the facts. The American farmer
always has produced enough food for
every man. woman and child in the
United States and I am sure he will
continue to, given a chance to stay on
his farm and in business. The ad-
justment programs have cut down
productions for an export market
which no longer exists. They have
not deprived the people Of one ounce
Of necessary food"

The answer to this soft heartedness
of the N. r. A.-ers toward Mellon has
ramifications. The United Mine
Workers, who now have representation
on the N. r. A. board, also have wage
contracts with the so-called Mellon
coal interests These contracts expire
in June, and the labor group wants to
renew them. Furthermore, the prose-
cution of Mellon on charge of in
come tax trickery has worked out less
than half-well.
But perhaps the best answer is that
only picayune sum is involved and
Mellon never heard anything about it
anyway.
Two Tests Remain
There will be only two more tests
of the New Deal in the Supreme Court
this session: Q) the Frazier -Lemke
farm mortgage law, and 90 the
chosen N. r. A. case. Odds are heav-
lily against the court fully approving
either law.
A change of opinion on the bonus
has been noticeable for months in
Wall Street quarters. A majority
of the best minds are said to hape
been in tauor OF paying it and
getting it oDer Dith. They haDe
been thinking about ,ohat it Uould
do for the automobile industry and
not for the Treasury.
Workers for the Wagner Labor Board
bill (and there are many) are jubi-
liant about prospects of getting it
through the Senate, but not through
the House. That was done last ses-
sion. Chances of final enactment are
no better.
One Of the largest magazines Is now
sending rejection slips to Cabinet Of
f1cers and high New Dealers on all
articles submitted. A year ago, maga-
zines were clamoring for such big
name articles, most of which were
prepared by press agents acting as
ghost writer's.

Louisianan refused to discuss 1t,
Tydings said that he would.
What stirred Tydings' ire was q
statement by Long that Mr.. Roosevelt
received $4,000 as Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy during the war,
without facing gun.
With the usual galleries, the LOui-
siana Senator hurled sharp criticism
at the President and Senators oppos-
ing the Patman bill, declaring Mr..
Roosevelt was leading the Demo-
cratic party to slaughter" by advo-
eating various contradictory meas
ures."
He said the President and large
majority of the Senate in 1888 ap-
proved a bill which permitted banks
to get new currency for bonds not
yet due
"The only difference between that
bill and the bonuS," he said, lis that
the banks can still get the interest
on the bonds and the soldiers wouldn't
get any interest"
Stages Imaginary Interview.
Long said If he were advising the
President he would ask Mr.. Roosevelt
how much he made during the war.
"He would tell you he got $4,000
for that years work. Long said.
How many cannon did you face,
sir?" Long asked, repeating the imag-
mary interview.
None"
How many nights did you sleep on
the ground, sir?"
None"
"How many nights did you hear
the rain on the tents? How many
days and nights did you hear the
crack of German rifles and endure
the. smell Of poison gas? How many
times die you see the flames Of burn
ing fires of Hell and destruction and
carnage soaring the lives and souls
Of men?"
He will say none"
And yet you got $4,000. Mr..
Roosevelt. for the patriotic services
which you gave to the country in the
SOURCE of that war. It is not going
to do WE'LL Mr. President. for you to-
day to say to these men who bled
ana fought and who died that they
cannot exchange the little flimsy. ne
farious, puny. putrid obligation that
the Government has given them, for
tht circulating money of the U. S.,
when you have given that right to
every banker in the country"
Asks for Longs Record.
Tydings interrupted to suggest that
Long give his own war record for
comparison.
IT have covered that to the salts
faction of my people many, many
times" Long replied.
LET me cover it little bit for the
Senator" Tydings offered.
I'm the Senator's own time he can
cover it, Long replied
you bet I can, and nobody can
stop me-" Tydings shouted aggres-
s.vely.
81 will not try to stop the Senator"
Long said.
"You had better not try" Tydings
warned. you may have to make an
argument and it won't be vocal"
Long, who had started his speech
in the front row of the chamber, had
gradually edged back close to Tydings'
seat in the rear.
Long Turns Away.
Turning away from the angry
Marylander, Long said:
"Oh, well, I'm talking about the
Senator's record on the banks"
II am talking about the Senator's $
record in war" Tydings retorted.
Il am going to talk about the Sen
ators record on the banks" Long
insisted, then he can talk about my
record in the war"
Later Long said he hoped Tydings
was not offended. but the Marylander
rejoined that he always became
offended when hear the President of
the United States. no matter whether
he is a Democrat or a Republican,
belittled."
