The commissions complaint, direct
ed against George A. Cook and his
wife, Helen M Cook, % Denwood road,
Takoma Park, Md, operators of the
school, charges that despite their ad-
vertising the courses OF instruction
were prepared by a former First As

respondence courses in question have
been materially revised since the death
in 1925 of the former First Assistant
Postmaster General referred to, and
the courses of instruction so advertised

fairly divert trade or business to the
respondents from competitors who do
not make such false and misleading

JOHNSON CHOOSES
SILENCE ON BORAH
California Independent Is an
Enigma in ldahoan's
Candidacy.

By the Associated Press.
The emergence of Senator Borah
from the speculative shadows into the
light Of presidential candidacy has
thrown two of his independent col
leagues into a political silence deep
enough to make the rustic of falling
ballot sound like thunderstorm.
Three of those four who rode with
the Democrats to the disaster OF the
Republicans in 1882 are still alive, but
one of these has definitely expressed
himself for President Roosevelt Bron-
son Cutting, who mounted platform
at Lamy, N. Mex, to give the Roosevelt
candidacy his Endorsement before
clamoring crowd In 1882, died In an
airplane accident.
OF the others, George w. Norris OF
Nebraska, to whose home town Of
McCook candidate Roosevelt went to
speak in l932-standing with Norris In
a Playground with a torch-red sun
flaming across the prairies in the West
at their back-has already given the
President his hand for the coming
campaign.
johnson an Enigma.
Hiram johnson of California and
Robert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin
furnish the enigmas. Both supported
the Democratic Roosevelt in 1882
Both have received his hearty favor
since.
However independent Borah may
have been by word in the past he has
never bolted the party. Even in 1912,
when he was q floor leader for Theo-
dore Roosevelt at Chicago he did not
follow his chief out of the hall to take
part in the Bull Moose fight against
Taft.
The last time that johnson ran for
the Senate-just a year ago-he was
supported by the Democrats. But he
also was supported by the Republic
ans and several other parties.
Many Silent.
Most of the others who wear Repub-
lican titles after their name and vote
as they please on most occasions have
been described as sympathetic to Ro-
rah, but have not definitely committed
themselves.
They include Senators Nye of North
Dakota, Couzens of Michigan, Capper
Of Kansas, Norbeck of South Dakota
and Frazier of North Dakota.
Couzens, in his own words, will be
running like hell' himself for the
Senate.
An indication of desires to fight
things out in the old established par
ties rather than to establish new ones
was expressed recently by Nye. He told
third party advocates that he doubted
they would get the kind of support they
would like from liberal Senators in
1886.

ROGERS GROUP
MEETS TODAY
INNEW YORK

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 UN.S0
A new Will Rogers story was re-
lated today by Jesse Jones, chair,
man of the RFC, who came to
New York from Washington to at
tend a meeting of the Will Rogers
Memorial Commission, which is
planning a national monument to
the famous humorist.
Mr.. Jones, a close friend Of Mr..
Rogers for many years, recalled
how the latter called on him in
Washington just after his return
from Russia and "Sat in" on a
conference at which two railroad
magnates were trying to solicit
funds to rehabilitate their roads.
'I asked viii to tell us some
thing about the railroads in Rus
sia," Mr.. Jones recalled. He
though for a minute and then his
mouth curled in that onerSided,
impish smile.
"There amt much difference
between railroads there and rail-
roads here he said. at length,
'cept that the government already
owns 'em there. otherwise they're
mighty like the railroads you're
trying to buy"
At a meeting of the operating
committee of the commission,
with Owen D.. Young, chairman,
presiding, general plans were laid
for the nationwide drive for
funds. Approximately $500 banks
and $50 newspapers were desig.
mated as depositaries for receipt
Of contributions.
It was revealed at the meeting
that the contributor who sent a
check for $1,000 from California
under the name wall Street part
ner Of the late Will Rogers" was
Eddie Cantor. Mr.. Cantor ex-
planned his use Of the pseudonym
as follows:
"The first Identification is cor
rect, because for a while in 1929
I bought stock for Rogers. For a
week, in fact. Then Rogers
queried, What kind Of stock was
that you bought me? It went
down. Get rid of it. We actors got
no right looking for easy pick
ings.'"
