for in q number of large cities where
great metropolitan dailies have for
two or three years been laying down
a bombardment against Roosevelt
every day. he came through with
larger majorities than he had four
years ago"
The columnist said this attack was
vaged not only in the editorial COL
umns. but in the news columns as well
through dispatches written from a
viewpoint hostile to the New Deal,
and by playing up with emphasis news
which was adverse to Roosevelt while
playing down favorable news.

Day after day. speeches attacking
Roosevelt from the most obscure critic
were printed conspicuolsly on page
one. Speeches in his defense were
buried inside, If printed at all.
This practice was not universal,
but it was sufficiently widespread to
have caused much resentment among

Sultan Mawallil VAST died Of a
heart attack yesterday, scarcely two
months after he succeeded his brother,
Sultan JanaluI Kiram.
On his death bed VAST proclaimed
his son, Ismael 80, as the next ruler
over the 100000 Mohammedans of
the Southern Philippines and British
North Borneo.
But observers said waists death
strengthened the claim of vivacious
40-year-old Princess Dayang Dayang
to the title of Sultana and the greatly
desired 5000 annual pension paid
the crown by British North Borneo.
VAST was to have been formally
crowned next month during the Mo-
hammedan religious festival of Hari-
yay Pauasa. Because his title was not
validated by coronation, some OBJ
servers said Ismael cannot claim the
1sultanate.
VAST had been greatly worried
because of the division among the
Moros. His selection. after he threat
ened to fight for the throne. was
made in the face Of bitter opposition
by the princess.
She was Kiram's niece and adopted
daughter. His favorite, she handled
many state affairs for him. During
the interval between Kiram's death
and selection of his brother she was

hours until another Malay was found
imprisoned in a store room. He saw
the huge wave descending upon the
forepeak of the vessel in time to take
shelter. but the door jammed and he

heard him pounding Tuesday.
Bernard H. Jackson, the freighter's
first officer. said:
Il was told by the captain to secure
the hatch. One sea came over before
this could be done. and the captain
came down to help. While he was
there another sea came over. The
captain shouted, Look outr and we
were all washed across the deck.
IT caught hold Of life line. When
the deck cleared, the captain was
lying across the winch, and two OF
the seamen were missing. We thought
they both had been carried over the
side.
TT was too rough at the time to do
more than secure the captains body.
Three hours later, when the weather
moderated somewhat, the chief engi-
neer and brought it aft.
