Hail, Peace Of Men!
Hold high your sacred flame
Above ambitions rise and fall
Across the table nations blot

Give them the noblest gift Of God
And search their hearts
That they may rise wrapped
In the garments OF true grace.

O'Connor, 81, also Is keen,
shrew. and able, a Phi Beta
Kappa man at Brown university
and graduate Of Harvard Law
school. He also is short and
stocky, and sparce sandy hair
and a fighting Irish face, ready
smile, and caustic tongue. He Is
married and has four boys.
He came to Washington from
the New York legislature in 1925
to take the Tammany seat previ-
ously held by w. Bourke Cochran.
He is an adept parliamentarian
and last year demonstrated his eff
fectiveness as acting floor leader.
Brother Of Roosevelt's former
law partner, Basil O'Connor, he
deserted AL Smith for Roosevelt
in 1892 and was reelected in 1894
with r. d. RS help despite con-
siderable Tammany opposition.
Last spring he threatened to kick
Father Coughlin down the Capitol
steps, but apologized.
AS rules committee chairman,
he has held the third most power
full post in the house.
Opposed by New Dealers
New Dealers oppose O'Connor,
asserting he has been effective on
the floor, but has often baked the
administration backstage. His re-
fusal to let the holding company
death sentence" come to a record
vote and dealings with H. G. Hop
son of Associated Gas g. Electric
while the Senate lobby committee
was looking for Hopson are cited
against him.
He also voted against elimina-
ton Of the two thirds rule after
the New York delegation had vot-
ed unanimously for ending the
rule.
Rumor says he won't receive
full support Of the Tammany
delegation and some members
will oppose his candidacy now be-
cause his victory would mean
SABBATH Of Illinois would take the
rules chalrmanship, Q prospect
rellshed by few.
The O'Connor faction whispers
that the New Workers. religion Is
being used against him and the
Rayburn faction says O'Connor Is
inventing that story as q sympathy
plea. But word goes down the line
that Roosevelt wants Rayburn be-
cause he feels he can depend on him
and wants somebody who can stimuli
taneously sell upcoming New Deal
legislation 10 southern conservatives,

FRANCE TO OPPOSE ITALY
In POSSESSING ETHIOPIA

Paris, May 6.-(AP)-Authorita
sources said today France would
throw it's full weight against outright
annexation of Ethiopia as an italian
colony or raising an army there
which might be used in European
conflict.
France was reported likely to pro
pose that Great Britain's treaty with
the Arab kingdom of Iraq be made
a model for Italian domination of
Ethiopia, with the African empire. re-
tanning nominal sovereignty and Lea
que of Nations membership.
Under such a plan, France would
insist that it be accorded trade pri-
vileges equal to those given foreign
countries under the French .protec-
torate over Morocco and that Dill
BOUT. French Somaliland, remain the
port of entry for Ethiopia.
Despite Premier Mussolini's, asser-
tions that he would not negotiate
with other nations on his course in
Ethiopia, French sources expressed
the belief his need of money for the
East African development would
make him yield to such a plan if
Great Britain and other countries

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS


May 6, 16O4-Sixteen years before
the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Ply
mouth, a company Of Jesuits, soldiers,
artisans, farmers and convicts led by
Pierre du Quasi, Sieur De Monts,
came to Neutral Island in the St.
Croix River and established the first
settlement in what was to become
known as New England. So you're
wrong If you believe the Pilgrims
were the first settlers in New Eng
land.
In fact, John Smith had already
mapped the coast of Maine and called
1t New England, before the Pilgrims
arrived at Plymouth.
May 6, 1758-The No 1 French re-
volutionisb Macmillan Robespierre,
was born in Arras, of Irish ancestry.
He was a tender-hearted poet, who
resigned an appointment as a pro-
vincial judge rather than sentence a
guilty criminal to the gallows, yet
master of the Red terror in the re-
volution, he sent 1900 persons to the
gallows in two weeks!
May. 6, 1840-The first adhesive
postage stamp was issued, in Britain.
1t was of one penny denomination
Previously, letters had to be imprint
ed with a hand stamp.
The U. S. mail service didn't adopt
them until after they had been wide
ly used in the country by a privately
owned postal service.

can gummed stamps, Ralph w.

passed when the regular revenue bill
was passed." Manager Lumpkin said
House Bill 80 contained the section
which imposed this particular tax.
"Dr. Mcdonald led the fight in the
House against this tax upon meals
when it came up in the House. The
tax was voted, however, over his de-
termined opposition and became law
over his protest.
ION May 3, long after the revenue
bill, containing the tax on meals, be-
came law, House Bill 1885, was intro
duce6, which if it had been passed
would have placed tax upon hotel
room rentals. DR.. Mcdonald voted for
the bill, stating at the time that he
considered the tax on hotel room rem
tails as far more just than the tax
which had previously been imposed
upon food consumed in the humble
homes of the working people of the
State and upon the meals served in
cafes, boarding houses and hotels.
These facts make it clear that DR..
Mcdonald fought against the tax
Which was imposed upon meals, when
ever served. 1t is his opinion now as
we'll as before, that House Bill 1860
should have been passed, since it
would have reached people obviously
more able to pay than those now
forced to pay the sales tax on food
and meals"

AS WE KNOW WILLIAM
I CARR TUCKER, JR.
(COntrihuted).

In life as we live it here in the
flesh we are confronted almost con-
stantly with problems difficult for us
to solve, and are often brought face
to face with the tragic ending of life
as we know it here. Such an ending
might come to any of us in this our
day of many inventions. Yet, through
it all, we know that there is a hand
that controls our destiny; that this
hand makes no mistakes, and it
working is tempered with infinite
love. This furnishes us with the
comforting assurance that in what
ever way the life that has been COM
mitted to the keeping of God ends,
it is to the glory of God, an act which
we will see, if not in time, then GER
tainly in eternity This enables us to
say as we think of the passing of our
friends and loved ones, "The Lord
gave, and the Lord hath taken away;
blessed be the name of the Lord"
In the passing of William Carr
Tucker, Jr, with five of his friends in
the wreck near Wise, N. c., on the
14th day of April, 1886, we face the
sad and signal ending of the earthly
career of one of our most promising
young men-one, humanity speaking
we can i'll afford to lose from our
community, church and home. Carr
was born in Townsville, N. c., May
3rd, 1917, where he spent his whole
life. His father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Carr Tucker, ST., had
provided for him a noble home, where
he had enjoyed the benefits of their
christian fellowship and that of his
three brothers and two sisters. He
was a consistent member of the Pres

of the devices developed in the pre-

connections.
Private concerns always take the
credit for putting the United States

Actually, the Navy was the leader.
Wireless experiments upon which it
had been working for years, without

the limelight by the preparations for
