BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

peen IoreSeen because the SOCIAL
Security Board turned down the
Kansas plan for cooperation to
receive old age, blind, and other
pension aid in the federal pro-
gram.
A special session of the legisla-
ture is required if Kansans are to
receive federal benefits at any
early date. At such session, &C
cording to all reports, vets and
drys of Kansas are sure % stage a
knockdoWn battle. The drys want
the state on an alcoholic basis OF
half Of l per cent and the vets
naturally don't.
1t was charged that Landon
might be willing to delay benefits
to avoid embarrassment, since his
record is bone dry, and anything
which would accentuate that fact
would hurt his candidacy in most
populouS states.
Landon has decided to call the
special session, however, and now
seeks to determine whether a
satisfactory social insurance plan
requires a. constitutional amend
ment or merelyza legislative act.
His friends predict. that if he is
put on, the spot as to alcohol, he
will declare for "beer for rev.

THE TRANSFORMING OF
CAROLINIANS

The Charleston news ana Coufiel I'he'
notice of the opposition to the candidacy OF
DR.. Mcdonald which certain cerltlzens are
seeking to foment on the ground that the
Doctor is not a native North Carollnlan.
The Charleston paper mentions the 1act
that three citizens OF North Carolina have
been elected to the presidency Of the Uni
ted States-but not while they were clti-
zens of North Carolina-and the Charles
TON newspaper ventures the suggestion
that if Andrew Jackson, who was South
Carolinian, had remained a citizen OF
North Carolina he might have been elected
mayor of Salisbury. That was possible, OF
course, but Andy no doubt considered 1t
improbable, so he removed to Tennessee
The News and Courier is at a loss to I'M
derstand why three Carolinians could moi
be elected to the presidency until they had
become residents of Tennessee; but that
question is not more difficult to answer
than the problem of why the country has
quit electing citizens of Tennessee to the
presidency. y
The Charleston paper also directs atten-
ton to the number o. leading citizens OF
this State who are natives Of South Car
DINA, and names Capt. Ellison Smyth,
Judge Heriot Clarkson and Robert Latham.
All mighty fine men, according to the estl-
mate of The Times-News, but there are
many other worthy South Carolinians now
counted among the citizens of this State,
most of them, perhaps, not so prominent as
the gentlemen named by The News and
Courier, but good men. There are scores
of South Carolina natives now residing in
Henderson county.
A peculiarly of the South Carolinians
which may enlist the philosophical interest
of The News and Courier is the well at
tested fact that their records after removal
to North Carolina match the careers OF
Jackson, Polk and Johnson in Tennessee.
In North Carolina large proportion OF the
South Carohnians go in for politics and
they are usually Successful in landing IN
the offices. The prejudices of North Car
OhnianS against foreigners" do not appear
to extend to South Carolinians.
All of which reminds The Times-News
of the story of a town out in one OF the
northwestern States. A visitor was in
formed that every citizen of the town ex-
cept one was Swede; and question de-
veloped the statement that this lone citizen
was an Irishman and the mayor of the
town. The Irishman in this case was SIM
ply running true to form. An 1rishman
who was not policeman would be an
alderman or a mayor.
South Carolinians are much like Irish
men, when they become citizens of North
Carolina-Rot all of them, of eourse-but
when they go into POLITICS they ATE usually
successful. So 80 49,

Ridges Are Occupied.
The Sabaudia division occupied the
ridges east of Kessadzba with slight
losses, forcing the Ethiopians to
Withdraw and were able to help the
Alpine units with flanking fire while
the latter fought their determined way
up the ridges on the south of the
Mccain Valley.
Once the ridges were occupied IN
the teeth of the desperate opposition,
both divisions joined in attacking the
enemy
The Ethiopians held on their posi-
ton for a long time, despite heavy
losses, but finally retreated to the
ridges Of Addi Asset and Gherti.
The official accounts of the battle
indicated that Ethiopia was stripped
OF its northern defenses.
The alleged headlong fight of the
Imperial Guard leaves only the rain
and mountains between the Fascist
forces and the elimination of the
conquest they started last October.
End of War Is Seen.
Intense excitement pervaded the
entire army with the news that the
Negus' personal army had finally been
routed, as almost all the soldiers be-
Iiaue thic dnfnof tho nrd
of the war. Cheering crowds filled
the streets of Asmara to acclaim the
winning of the primary objective of all
northern armies.
The Italian attack, ending with to-
days overwhelming victory, started
yesterday at dawn. Two white divi-
sions. the Alpini and Sabauda of the
1st Army Corps, grappled almost con-
tinuously with the best of the En-
peror's forces in hand-to-hand fight

Italian airplanes terrorized the capital
of Ethiopia today. sprayed the local
airfield with machine gun bullets, de-
stroyed an antiquated airplane and
then retired over the mountains.
The property damage was infnites-
imal but the moral effect of the
Italian gesture was immense.
The city was seized by panic, for
the air squad cruised leiSurely over
the city for As minutes, ignoring a
ground fire of rifles manned, for the
most part, by aged veterans of the
Ethiopian war of 1896.
The Italians chose the psychological
moment when the capital was crowd
ed with farmers doing their Saturday
marketing. Most of them fed toward
the hills, but crowds remained be-
hind around the imperial palace and
cheered Empress Mennen when she
toured the city to see for herself what
damage had been done.
