St. Valentines Day Massacre,
Gangdom's Worst, Unsolued
Chicago Marks Sixth Anniversary of
Crime That Climased Warfare
Between RiUal Whisky Barons.

E. Maloy, Gear" of the Motion Picture
Operators Union, was slain In gang
land fashion as he drove along the
outer drive.
Only one gang name of importance
was erased through underworld rivalry
in Chicago during the past year, that
of Charles Uce Wagon) Conners,
Touhy mobster. whose body was found
in country ditch.
The mystery Of the st. Valentines
day massacre appeared near solution
for time last month, when 1t was
reported that Byron Bolton, Bremen
kidnapping suspect. had confessed and
named five underworld characters as
his associates in the killing.
The reported solution, however,
was greatly discounted when Claude
Maddox, named in the supposed con-
fession, was arrested and promptly
released, with the explanation that
police had nothing on him.
Chicago was gay with hearts and
flowers on February IA, 1929. All

MEMPHIS, Tenn, February IA
The day of State medicine is at hand,
DR.. Logan Clendenning, professor Of
clinical medicine at the University Of
Kansas, said yesterday.
State medical care is certain to
come because so many people are with
out the benefits Of modern medical
science, he declared.
THE doctors will have to do some
thing themselves about making medi-
cal attention available" he affirmed.
1.-The question is, does the public want
political doctors or medical men?
The medical profession, instead of
blindly opposing it as has been the
tendency in some quarters, Is going to
take direction of the program and see
that 1t Is wisely handled"

CHICAGO, February 14.-The rattle

echoed in the memories of Chicagoans
today as they noted the sixth an

blackest smudge on the city's crime

Valentines day massacre of 1929.
It was this slaughter of seven men
which, more than any other single

Nose Back on Statue
After 5O.Year Absence

QUIRIGUA, Guatemala CP.-A
Maya god or chief, sculptured on a
monument hundreds Of years old in
the ancient Maya city here, finally
has back the nose he lost more than
so years ago.
The story of the missing nose is told
by DR.. Sylvanus Morley of the Car
negie Institution of Washington. who
has been restoring Maya monuments
here.
The nose. weakened by a crack in
the stone. first fell off in 1881, when
a cast of the Sculptured head was
made by A. P. Maudslay. British
archeologist. Maudslay stuck it back
in place with plaster of paris and
bound rope around 1t to keep 1t in
place.
When he returned In 1894 the rope
had rotted away, but the plaster still
held the nose in place. 1t still was in
place 27 years later. when DR.. Morley
visited the site in 1921.
But between that year and 1928,
when DR.. Morley again visited
Quirigua, the monument fell fiat and
the jar had displaced the nose. How
ever. DR.. Morley found it in the grass
once more and intrusted it to a fruit
company official, who placed it in his
Office safe.
Early in 1894 two other Carnegie
Institution men visited Quirigua, OBJ
tanned the nose, and replaced it on
the solemn face of the Maya statue,
fastening it with cement that should
hold it permanently.

as conspiracy existed, seems to me to
have been designed not to overthrow
the Stain regime at home, but to dis
credit it abroad by suggesting the ex-
istence of such strong forces of do
mestic opposition as to make the
western nations, which were drawing
closer and closer to the Soviet Union,
hang back and hesitate, and to pro-
vide with fresh ammunition those
elements in Great Britain, France and
Italy which are hostile to any rela-
tions with the Reds 1t was a re-
version to precisely the same tactics
employed by the nihilists before the
World War, whose various acts of ter
rorism were not infrequently addressed
to the outside world rather than to
Russians themselves.
But the point I set out to make at
the start of this article is that from
the point of view of the outside world
what is important is that the authors
of the assassination of Kirov were
those who were hostile to the present
policy of peace and understanding
pursued by the Stain regime Had
they been able to retain power in
the Soviet Union or should they be
able to recover it. then the world
would be confronted by dangers to
peace of almost incalculable di-
mensions.
Again and again am asked if
believe in the sincerity of the present
espousal of the cause of peace by the
Soviets The answer, of course, is
that do, because obviously all the in
terestS of the Soviet Union are at the
moment locked up with the cause Of
peace. The ultimate success of their
colossal experiment is conditioned
upon immunity from outside attack
during the present critical years Next
to that, their major concern Is that
if they are attacked by Japan or Ger
many they shall have the moral, If
not the material, support of the west
ern capitalistic countries, which for
different reasons are equally anxious
to prevent conflict.
When a governments material in
terests coincide with its public pro-
fessions, then it is safe to accept those
professions at their face value. And
that today is the Soviet situation.

sLATIN AMERICA embarks on

SLATIN AMERICA embarKS on
n 1885. the prospects for do
II mestic peace and economic
recovery seem brighter than
they have been since the end
Of the prosperity years" in 1928.
With very few exceptions, the gov
ernments on the other side of the
Rio Grande can look forward to the
next IL months with greater conf
dence than they or their predecessors
could afford at the beginning of each
OF the preceding five years.
Yet, neither the depression nor the
political restleSsness which accom-
panied it have disappeared COM
pletely. AS the new year begins. the
two great conflicting forces which are
at work throughout the world at a
pace accelerated by the emergencies
inherent in period of crisis-inter-
national cooperation and nationalism
ARE also present in Latin America.
Clash Will Continue.
In the world front, the continued
clash of these two forces will be the
paramount issue of 1895. as it was
that of the year just ended.
International cooperation is repre-
sented by the combined efforts of the
leading powers to preserve world
peace. the activities of the League of
Nations, the disarmament movement,
the agitation for the lowering of Gus
toms tariffs, the stabilization of cur
rencies and the revival of interna-
tional trade. Blocking the advance of
this constructive tendency is the spirit
of nationalism. aroused by material
needs and internal disarrangemen;s
growing out of the depression. and
easily carried to extremes in times
of discomfort and political efferveS-
cence such as we are living.
Outstanding instances of national
istic outbursts are, today, the Far
Eastern crisis, the revival of the
Junker spirit in Germany, the mill
tant mood of the Central European
states, the debt defaults. high tariff
walls. bitter commercial rivalrieS
among nations the denunciation of
the naval treaty, etc.
Chaco War Cited.
In Latin America, too, as in the
world at large, the major problem
facing the new year is the clash of
these two opposing forces Interna-
tional cooperation is represented here
by the efforts of many American
governments to stop the Chaco war;
fare involving Bolivia and Paraguay,
by their endeavors to launch a new
era in inter- American relations with
greater stress on the sovereignty and
equality Of states. by their attempts
to conclude non-aggreSSion pactS and
economic agreements for the aboli-
tion of highly protective tariffs. by
the suppression of policies fomenting
i'll will-such as intervention in
domestic affairs, non-recognition of
revolutionary regimes, forCible COL
lection of public debts and other mis-
taken practices of earlier years.
On the other hand, nationalism is
present in Latin America-and very
much so-in the Chaco war, in the
other territorial controversies still
unsettled, in the increasingly ma
tionalistic platforms of the radical
sectors, in the several tariff wars in
progress among the southern republics.
So much for the international out
look. Internally, the same conflict
