by q Stan Correspondent o, The star.

WARRENTON, Va, October 2s.-
Robert c. Winmill, prominent New
York and Warrenton broker. was to be
removed to private sanitarium in
New York today following an accident
yesterday in which he received q frac-
tured collar bone and two broken ribs.
He was attempting to take horse over
Jump on his estate near here.
Winmill, who is well known in WASH
ington society circles. was taken to the
Fauquier County Hospital for emerg-
ency treatment. He was to be driven
to the Capital today, however, and
placed aboard train for New York so
that he may be under the care of his
own physician.
Employees at Clovelly, his estate on
the Spring road, said that Winmill
was hacking a horse near the house
when he wheeled his mount and tore
toward a nearby jump. The animal
crashed into the obstacle, fell and
struck the rider with its hoofs.
Winmill, member of the firm of
Gude-Winmill & Co., New York bank
ers and brokers, who also have a War;
renton office, was brought to the
local hospital by employees on his
estate and was treated by. DR.. George
H. Davis. X-rays revealed the frac-
lures.
The injured man had come to
Warrenton to enjoy the fox hunting
season. He is an enthusiastic men,
Der Of the Warrenton Hunt. His
wife is q member of the same organ
ization and also is one of Virginia's

tate.

act at best Is only q promise of
at some future time-if 1t can.
Meanwhile the proceeds Of these
taxes in the hands Of this ad-
ministration will be used to meet
current and future extravagances.
This is not social security. It
will create social insecurity.
On the other hand, We Repub-
licans have pledged ourselves to
provide assistance to the needy,
blind and crippled. to foster the
promotion of child welfare and the
improvement Of the Public Health
Service.
Our platform proposes to encour-
age adoption by the States of hon.
est and practical programs of un-
employment insurance. This po-
sition is taken because all past
experience abroad with this type
Of insurance has been q bitter dis
appointment. Practically every
plan has broken down after few
months in the face of q depres-
sion of any duration. The only
real reserve to meet prolonged un-
employment Is sound Government
credit based upon q balanced
budget and q low national debt.
These facilitate necessary borrow
ing in time of need.
Pledge Real Protection.
We Republicans further pledge
ourselves to provide every Amer
ican citizen over IS with the sup
Elementary payment necessary to
give q minimum income sufficient
to protect him or her from want.
This Is q genuine old-age-pension
plan which. have always believed,
should not be based on the pau
per's oath, although this oath may
be required under the present social
security act.
Our plan of Federal grants-in-
aid by the States will be on pay
as-you-go basis. The necessary
funds will be raised by means of
special tax. directly levied, and
widely distributed. For, only II
every one bears his just share can
we hope to prevent the plan being
used for political purposes. Our
program contemplates administra-
ton by the States on . non-politi-
cal basis in order to end central
lied control In Washington.
Ny criticism Of the present act is
not that Its purpose is bad. 1t is
that this act win involve . cruel
; disappointment for those of our
people least able to bear the shock
Of disappointment.
To these-our old people and our
workers struggling for better con-
ditions I will not promise the
moon. I promise only what / know /

LEWIS DEN0UNCES
LANDON A! RALLY.
Kansan Has Sold Himself
to Du Points, He Tells
Crowd of 21, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOclhteo FIebS.
NEW YORK, October 2s.-John l.
Lewis. president Of the United Mine
Workers, coupled q dennciation Of
Gov. Alfred M. Landon at an Ameri-
can Labor party rally yesterday with
the challenge:
This meeting demonstrates that
labor is organizing politically. It Is
time for labor to organize. There Is
danger ahead"
An audience that jammed Madison
Square Garden to its 2l,000 capacity
was augmented by outside crowds. es-
timated by police at more than 5000,
who heard Lewis, Senator Robert
Wagner, Gov. yerbert Lehman and
other political leaders through am
plifiers.
The American Labor party is sup
porting President Roosevelt and Gov.
Lehman in the State during this cam
paign. but has announced 1t will seek
to build q national labor party in
1910.
'Landon," said Lewis, sis the most
dangerous and weak man in all Amer
ica. He has sold himself to lords and
masters the du Points. Landon
sold himself to these emperors just
as much as any man in history"
The chairman of the Committee for
Industrial Organization, Lewis charged
that "the candidate Of the Republi-
can party. speaking at Indianapolis
a few days ago. enunciated the policy
Of his political party In q manner
that has left the American people
Intellectually dazed.
ITO me Landon is Just as empty,
as inane. As innocuous as q water
melon that has been boiled in q
wash tub" Lewis said.
In Pennsylvania, Lewis said, people
heretofore Republicans are joining the
ranks of labor to elect as Chief Ex-
ecutive one Of our greatest Americans,
President Roosevelt"
Gov. Lehman, after a five-minute
ovation, pledged he would continue
to fight for progressive legislation"
Fusionist Mayor F. H. Laguardia
called for q three-fold campaign for
uniform child labor laws, old age
pensions and unemployment insur-
ance.
David Dubinsky. president of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union, and one of the American
Labor party electors. also appearing
on the Democratic ballot, assailed
Republicans with: If you left it to
Wall Street and Republicans, they
would just 60 on letting millions
starve. thousands Of factories remain
shut down and. If hunger riots were
to break out in the cities and in the
country districts. they believed they
could use the Army and the militia"

and also fearing what his spending
program Is going to do to the country
II continued.
Metcalf Popular Personality.
The veteran Senator Metcalf, Re-
publican, Is up for reelection. He
Is popular with the people Of the
State, particularly of Providence. A
man Of great wealth, he has for years
been most generous in his gifts for
charitable purposes, although he Is a
conservative. and the late Senator
Jim" Cou1ens Of Michigan was not,
Metcalf has q personal following in 8
Providence just as Couzens had IN
Detroit. His Democratic opponent
Is Gov. Green. Green Is q cold prop
osition as q candidate. The Demo-
Gratis insist, however, that he has
made q good Governor, and that the
administration affairs has been q sue
cess; the Democrats have done away
with q deficit they inherited from the
@. o. p. and have cash in the till
now. The Republicans retort that all
the Democrats have done Is to turn
all the Republicans out Of ONCE and
put Democrats in their places.
This year for the first time voting
machines are to be used in Rhode Is
land. Because the people know little
about these machines, 1t is likely
there will be comparatively few split
ballots. II that Is the case the State
ticket and the senatorial race will
likely 60 along with the President.
Roosevelt's popularity may help to
keep votes In line for Green, for
Lieut.. Gov. Robert Quinn, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, and for
the rest of the ticket. On the other
hand, Metcalf's popularity may help
the Landon ticket and the Republican
State ticket.
Republican leaders insist that polls
taken in voting precincts are so IA
vorable as to be almost unbelievable.
They put their minimum lead at TO-
600 for Landon, and say that it may
60 as high as 10000.
The Democrats, banking on Roose-
velt's popularity with labor and the
Government spending and the relief
workers, insist that Roosevelt will
run at least as well as he did four
years ago, when he carried the State
by $1,000.
Rhode Island has gone Democratic :
in the last two presidential elections.
AL Smith carried the State In 1929,
though by only 1,45l votes. Smiths
has been a potent voice here. The
present Democratic leaders say, how
ever, Smiths campaign for Landon
has left the voters cold and that his
influence Is gone. That they cannot
know definitely.
Father Coughlin has had trouble
with his organization here. A couple
Of weeks ago he came to Providence
and threw two of his leaders out of
office. Now he declares that these
leaders were trafficking with Jim"
Farley. Democratic national chairman,
promising to turn over votes to Roose-
velt Coughlin delivered a speech to
a crowd of 5000 in the auditorium
here last night, in which he touched
briefly on the matter, not going into
detail.
The Republicans are hopeful of
carrying both the FIRST and second
congressional districts. Risk, the Re-
publican incumbent in the first dis
trict. is popular. The second district
is ordinarily Republican and should
be easier to carry than the hrst.

Sissy Means
Devil Can't
Take 1t

Washington, it appears from the
manner in which the Loew's Capt.
toll telephones keep jangling, is
asking the same question-exactly
what is meant by 1.-THE Devil is
Sissy"
what's it mean? That's what
everyone seems to ask.
It's a mighty funny title for a
picture, say several Loew patrons.
So a test was taken around the
Capitol offices. Everybody places
different Interpretation on the
odd but interesting title. One of
the girls-her name we promised
not to mention-said. "Oh, The
Devil Is a Sissy That's easy.
They're always blaming all the
devilment on us girls"
Another version from one Of the
boys backstage was: "The Devil
Is a Sissy" compared with the hui
man bad-eggs Of modern times.
A bachelor on the current Capt.
toll stage program volunteered,
tits another way Of saying She
devil"
Most of those asked simply
couldn't frame any definite i'm
preston in words.
OF course, the management is
certain that after local movie
goers have seen this picture they'll
attach a very deep significance to
this title and declare it an I'M
sually fitting one. but in the mean
time, since theatergoers tn M
selves have raised the question,
the management is anxious to
hear what other interpretations
may be placed on it.
If readers would care to write
to the Capitol management, they
may even reward writers of inter
esting letters with guest tickets to
see "The Devil Is a Sissy" when
it opens on the Capitol screen this
Friday.

VOTE AMERICAN
The Washington times., 1936-10-20

and when it appears that Irene
might win the coveted title of
First Lady, this MuSsolini Of the
teacups plays a trump card that
removes her foe from the political
scene.
Now all of this is told in dia-
logue that is cracking and smart.
1t projects two scenes Of biting
repartee in parlor tete-a-tetes
where the polite innuendo is fol
lowed by the deadly thrust. Fur
and acid fly in this clash Of clever
tongues.
Somewhat impudently the sec
ond act turns the spotlight on the
private life of a Supreme Court
Justice. There in the Library one
finds that the defender of the Con-
stitution likes to read the funnieS,
turn on the Wimps in the 8 p. m.
radio hour, talk about the big fish
he has caught, and generally bore
his younger wife. The HibbardS
have about decided to call it a
day, when the political bee arrives
and begins buzzing about the
highest nomination.
The role Of Lucy Wayne pre-
sents Jane Cowl with rich oppor-
tunity. Her rare facility for Sophis-
ticated wit is beautifully served
by the playwrightS with lines that
snap and crackle, with wiSecrackS
that are as timely as they are
glibly phraSed. Decorated with the
personal charm and the expressive
mannerisms of a fine actress, this
Lucy Wayne becomes the best
Jane Cowl acting portrait since
her memorable Juliet.
COWL is BRILLIANT
Next in Importance is the role
of Irene Hubbard, impreSSlvely
played by Ann Mason, an actress
who is a sumner in clothes and
endows her Irene with the essen
tial catty quality for dramatic
contrast.
There is Helen Brooks docking
and talking much like Una Mer'
keD, as a vapid and babbling de-
butante who walks off with the
hand of a Senator: Diana Pattison
as a patient and understanding so
cial secretary: Ethel Wilson as a
voluable woman with a mission,
bursting with a desire to run the
country as the emiSsary of the
Peace, Patriotism and Purity
League; Carrie Reynolds as Sena-
tors wife; Judson Ware, Thomas
Findlay and Oswold Yorke are
others who assist most capably.
The drawing-room setting is a
masterpiece of reality and the play
has been directed by George Kauf-
man at a brisk pace. Another thing
that makes it distinctive is that
First Lady" is acted so that all
can hear it. I trust the Theater
Guild will notify their actors-no-
table the End of Summer" cast
that plays can be heard in COM
pleteness in the National Theater,
if the actors happen to know their
business?

WITS IN DEBATE
The new play at the National
Theater puts forward Lucy Chase
Wayne, wife of the Secretary OF
state, as the main manipulation
of political destinies. A shrewd
woman, this Lucy, who learned her
politics as a White House baby,
is not above using the sordid tricks
of a ward alderman if it would
serve her purpose.
Since Lucy is fair to look upon,
nimble witted, resorceful, wealthy
and shrewd, she is we'll equipped
for this business of guiding Ste
phen Wayne's footsteps towards the
Executive mansion. 1t is Lucy'S
pen that puts the punch into many
a senatorial speech even as she is
the hostess and pet Of the Capt.
tails influential set.
Lucy'S arch enemy and rival

the ambitious wife of a decaying
member of the United States Su-
preme Court. They match wits
to win the baby member of the
Senate from the West, promising
timber, and Irene wins the first
brush.
Neither dismayed nor discour-
aged by the loss of the first
skirmiSh, Lucy sets out to manu-
facture a bogus boom for her
antagonists senile husband. She
plants the idea that Justice Hib-
bard would be an ideal candidate
in the minds of a professional
