R|CHBERG TALK
LEADS FORUM

CHEVY CHASE, Md, March II.
Donald r. Richberg, former NRA
administrator, as principal speaker
at Montgomery county's first
town halI' meeting here last
night, praised the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and declared, if it has
not balanced the Federal budget,
it has accomplished something
far more important by balancing
the budget of the American peo-
pie.
Mr.. Richberg likened the coun-
try at the time President Roose-
welt took office to a sick patient,
and the New Dealers" to corps
of doctors ministering to his
needs. The emergency govern
mental agencies he called pink
pills"
In an attempt to explain grow
ing oposition to many phases of
the New Deal, Richberg said:
"JuSt like any patient that
starts to get well, he wants to
stop taking the medicine, fire
the doctor and get out of bed"
John r. Lambert, manager Of
the Washington Bureau of the
Universal Service, and Franklyn
Waltman, Washington political
writer, took issue with Mr.. Rich
berg.

PENNSYLVANIA
AGAIN SWEPT
BY FLOODS

PITTSBURGH, March IT. ON.
S0.-Still digging itself out Of the
havoc and destruction wrought by
last weeks floods, Pennsylvania to-
day was caught full force by the
springs third flood, which threat
ened to outdo the other two in
violence and damage.
Fed by a continuous 48-hour
rainfall, streams grew into raging
torrents, plunging over their banks
and again flooding homes and
washing out highways. Be-
leagureed families again fled their
water-logged homes, while motor
lists in many sections found the
going perilous.
A raging six-hour sleet storm
near Kane crippled power lines
and brought out all available
crews.
Pittsburgh was warned by the
Weather Bureau to prepare for its
worst flood in IL years, possibly ex-
ceeding the disastrous inundation
of 1924.

THE FAR EAST

The recent rebellion of a regi- ment of young Japanese in Tokyo was protest against the increasing influence of the civilian Government to the detriment of the military.
 It was in no sense directed aginSt Emporer Hirohito; instead, its lead- CTS sought to increase the Emper- or's power, through the military.
 The rebellion found sympathy among older officers who, however. would not participate in such a rash move.
 The protest was effective. Perhaps the power of the military has not been increased. but it has been re- stored to equal balance with the civ ilian.
 This was made known in the statement of policy issued by Pre- mier Koki Hirotas new regime. In this statement, the army and navy dictated extensive revisions and it pledged Japan to positive foreign policy.p
 This, to the Japanese, means only one thing: Tokyo will continue it's aggressive campaign on the contin- ent of Asia.

STAKHONOFFTSM

The Soviet speed-up has slowed down.
 For several months, there have been frequent indications all was not going so well with Stakhanoffism the new Russian method of increas- ing industrial production.
 The idea came from Alexei Stalk hanoff. an obscure coal miner and ardent communist. He wished to do something to aid his nations se- cond five-year plan His mine had not been producing it's quota, so Stakhanoff reorganized the work among his fellow coal-diggers. One man drilled continuously. the oth- CTS in the same room" timbered and loaded the coal.
 The result: the production per man per day increased tremend- ously.
 Stakhanoff became a state hero. Stakhanoff became the order of the day, not only mining but in other in- dustries
 Some critics of the U. s. s. R. compared this speed-up method to the "stretch-out" common in many textile mills in capitalist nations. But the Soviets, in reply, said the producer was paid for what he pro duced, whether it was seven tons ! of coal a day, or seventeen.
 But the idea lent itself too readily to sabotage. Rebellion against Stalk hanoffism was frequent The extent of this was shown this week.
 Not only have the expected bene- fits from Stakhanoffism failed to materialize, but in some industries production has failed to meet the annual planning requirements. l Managers of many factories and mines were summoned to Moscow by the commissar for heavy industry They were told the shortcomings in production must be overcome in April.
 1 The newspapers took up the cry l Pravda, central newspaper of the communist party of Russia, and lzvestia, official newspaper of the Government. blamed not only sab otage but bureaucrats.
 The saboteurs and bureaucrats Pravda said, must be swept away to clear the road for Stakhanoffism.

1 President made the unequivocal an- nouncement the conference would be held sometime this summer.
 It will be held in Buenos Aires.
 Inasmuch as Washington proposed the conference, the other Govern ments will look to the United States for specific proposals, and Washing ten may be expected to have peace plan ready for submission.
 Meanwhile, according to the White House announcement, there will be continuous communication between this Government and the Govern ments of the American Republics with view to obtaining unanimous agreement on the program for the conference,,na .
 The forthcoming barley brought much speculation on the enforce ment of peace. in the western eon-f tinents.
 There would be no reason to call such barley merely to allow the American nations to profess a des- ire for peace; and, from all indi- cations the Washington Government had no such idea in mind.
 One of the propositions under consideration, apparently. is lea que of American nations with power to apply sanctions against any mem- Der nation resorting to war of ag- gression.
 But so far, there is no fixed opin- ion, even in Washington, on such a proposal.

DOUGLAS HIGH
 SCHOOL ISSUE
 UP AT COUNCIL
School Board and Commis- sioner Are to Have
 Final Word

Action taken at the special meet ing of the Douglas City Council Monday night relative to keeping the high school here and against send ing the students to the Juneau High, favored it's continuance with re- duction of one teacher if such ar rangement can be worked out satis- factorily between the School Board and the Commissioner of Education. Members of the Council felt that though the saving effected to the city through allowing the high school pupils to go to Juneau, would be very necessary at the present time, it would be shame to have the school facilities here reduced, with prospects of the town growing. The action really leaves the matter up to the School Board. A negative stand against having the teaching staff in the grades reduced, was defi- nitely taken by the Council, how ever.

The controversy over relief and taxes promises to continue with little abatement for sometime. But few observers doubted that the White House, in the end, would get what it wanted.
 Carrying his fight against the "old guard" into Ohio, William E. Borah told meeting of Republicans n Youngstown
 Do you want to send an unin- structed delegation which may be gathered in some hotel room at 3 a. m., and have there a trade and barter entered into that will deter mine the selection of the nominee?"
 The Idaho senator declared he was an actual candidate for the nomination and was not making the pre-conyention campaign merely to dominate the selection of candi- date or to write a liberal G. o. P. platform.
 He has entered 42 candidates for places on Ohio's delegation of 52 members. The organization slate is pledged to; Robert A. Taft, son of the former President, a "fayorite son."
 Assailing the "favorite son. and uninstructed delegations as imple- ments of the "old guard" Borah asked:

 He mentioned no names; but there was little doubt that he had Cover nor Ali Landon, of Kansas, in mind
