SUN DEATH RAYS
TAKE HEAVY TOLL
OF H. DUCE'S MEN
INTENSE STUDY TO BE MADE
IN EFFORT TO PREVENT
SUNSTRoKE WHICH is Sc
RIOUS PROBLEM
fBy Associated Press)

MASSAUA, Eritrea, Jan. 81
Death-dealing rays of the sun are
undergoing an intense study by
Italian medical specialists in an
effort to prevent sunstroke which
already has felled 800 Italian
soldiers and workmen.
In the Eritrean lowlands, where
temperature in January is go in
the shade and in July around
140, heat is mans worst enemy.
All the other ailments from which
it was feared the Italians would
suffer, such as typhoid, malaria.
and dysentery, are as nothing in
the scale with the mortality pro-
duced by the sun.
Heat Penetrates Helmets
White men do not work be-
tween 10 o'clock in the morning
and 4 o'clock in the afternoon IN
midsummer. but the heat in the
other hours still is enough to
drop them. They wear pith he'll
NETS, but the heat comes on
through.
Doctors here said that fatal
heat prostrations have occurred
after shutdown. In midday, they
said, men are required to wear
their pith helmets even in the
barracks.
What causes death, they re-
counted, is failure of the body to
maintain an equilibrium between
the heat of the body and the out
side heat. If the body tempera-
trre is normally 81 degrees CEN
tigrade and the outside tempera-
ture so, a body unable to COM
bat this condition will begin to
jump in temperature, going TO
40, "A, AZ, 50-and then col
lapse.
Medieos Seek Specific
If the victim does not die at
once, he lies unconscious for
three or four days, with bodily
functions suspended.
When the patient comes out of
this state he suffers for days
from atrocious headaches.
Specialists hope to find some
chemical agent that will act as
an internal protection against the
sun, just as the pith helmet acts
as an external protection.
They admit they have set
themselves a difficult task.

SPANISH ELECTION
AIMS TO UNRAVEL
POLITICAL TANCLE
GENERAL CONTESTS. DESIGN
ED TO CLEAR POLITICAL
ATMOSPHERE, TO BE HELD
IN MID-FEBRUARY
cry Associated Preaal

MADRID, Jan. 31.-Its polite
al leaders deadlocked, the young
Spanish republic, not yet five
years old, is getting ready for its
own "new deal"
General elections, designed to
clear the political atmosphere,
will be held February Is and the
future of the republic will hang
in the balance.
Launched as a workers re-
public in 1891, with socialists
forming an important element,
Spain two and half years later
swung to the right. Conserva-
tives have been in the saddle ever
since.
Political Paradox
But the riGhtist government,
accused of feeble reprblicanism
by its opponents, has lost power
and change is in sight. The new
center government of Manuel
Portela, veteran minister of the
interior and former governor
general of Catalonia, has one main
plank: to hold impartial elections
and to maintain factional peace.
Political developments of the
past year have given Spain
striking paradox: an old school
republican president-Niceto AL
Gala Zamora, who perhaps more
than any one else created the re-
public-and a government which
has been openly hostile to the
Spanish constitution and favors
changing it to a more conserva-
tive document.
United Front Sought
In the resulting deadlock, a cen
ter ministry to preside at new
elections became essential.
Among the political leaders
seeking support are Gil Robes,
calling for a strong conservative
government that will protect prop
erty and abolish anti-church leg
islation; and Manuel Azana, lead
err of the left republicans, who
draws his support from the more
radical elements.
Monarchists, almost lost in the
shuttle, will put its candidates in
to the field, and may form part
of the united national front that
Gil Robes is seeking to build up
against a socialist republic"

Ink Bottle Started Tydings
On Stormy Political Career
Man From Maryland Rep
resented AS Being One
Of Most Outspoken
Democrats In Senate
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
INV Associated RrGRnl


Maryland's slender, ruddy-com-
plexioned young Senator Willard
Tydings, until a few weeks ago
the senate's most eligible bachelor,
was still honeymooning when con-
gress swung into action, but keep
an eye on him during this ses-
sion.
Next to the 7S-year-old Carter
Glass of Virginia, Tydings is
probably the most outspoken
Democrat in that body. There
are a lot of things about the
Roosevelt administration he
doesn't like and he says so on the
slightest provocation.
HES likely to provide some
real fireworks as the session pro-
crosses.
Quick-tempered, he more than
once has locked horns with both
his Democratic and Republican
colleagues. AS a matter of fact,
he traces his public career from
the day he was made a target for
an ink bottle.
1t was when he was trying his
first case in court. Opposing
counsel had charged him with mis-
representing the facts in the case.
Tydings' reply so enraged his OPP
ponent that he let fly with an ink
bottle.
"My political career dates from
that incident" he says. "People
got the idea they should run me
for public office. They've been
doing it since"
Popular In Senate
1t took Tydings only II years
to travel the political highway
from the Maryland house of dele
gates to the United States senate.
And he took time along the way
to rise from private to lieutenant
colonel during the World war and
win the distinguished service
medal as we'll.
All of this was before he
reached 81.
Now only 45, he is one of the
most popular men in the senate
both among his colleagues and
outsiders. In 1882 he served as
chairman of the senatorial cam
paign committee-the year the
Democrats captured control of the
senate.
Ever since he has borne the
sobriquet among the Democrats
of Glad Tydings."
He Paints and Writes
Despite the fact he represents
a state adjoining the District of
Columbia, thus making him one of
the most harassed men in the
senate by visiting constituents,
he still finds time for other things
than senatorial duties.
He is a portrait and landscape
painter~of real ability. He writes
verse, is an amateur playwright
and an author of books. At the
conclusion of the World war, he
wrote a history of the machine
gun units in France. During the
war he commanded a machine gun
battalion which saw heavy fight
ing.
He was graduated from college
as a mechanical engineer AMI fol
a while was with the engineering
department of big eastern rail
road. Law and politics, however
soon claimed him.
His seat in the senate is in the
rear on the Democratic side OF
the chamber. Most of the time
he sits and listens to debates with
an air of amused tolerance. When
he takes part, however, it is with
fire and force.
His carroty hair, slender build
and rudy complexion make il
easy to pick him out from hi:
more elderly colleagues.

 Informed that Chief Yates had threatened to keep him out of Terre Haute, Browder came here after appealing to President Roosevelt and Governor Paul V. McNutt for protection.
 Browder quoted Yates as saying: "Tell him (Browder) that he needn't bother coming to Terre Haute be- cause will not allow him to get off the train"
 The communist candidate tele- graphed President Roosevelt last night as follows:

HOME CONDITIONS
 FACTOR IN CRIME
Large Percentage of Sing Sings Inmates Handi-
 capped at Start

Ninety per cent of the unfortu- nate inmates of Sing Sing prison who are serving life sentences range from the ages of IT to 25 and in most instances surroundings in their homes were the causes of their re- spective acts" stated Rev. John Gilligan in his sermon last evening the third of the mission discourses being conducted nightly for men at the church of the Immaculate Con- ception.
 Father Gilligan stated the nearest thing he witnessed to Our Lords agony in the garden happened at the Ossining, N. r., institution some years back when he had the pleasure of being one of the two Domonican fathers assigned to the annual weeks mission at the penitentiary.
 Faced Execution
 An Occidental and his wife were sentenced to die in the electric chair for the murder of their employer. Two days before Holy Thursday the accused pair, whose. attorneys were regarded as the best lawyers in the country, were notified their last chance of freedom was lost and the day and time of their execution set.
 The hours whizzed by and the ac- cused husband was taken to 8 cell from where he could see the doors of the execution chamber. For over a half hour before he was to be led to the death chair priests and peni- tentiary attendants could not make his talk. His eyes were targeted on the doors of the chamber.
 Devoted Wife
 An oficial of the institution en- tered his cell at the moment and as- serted his death sentence had been changed to life Imprisonment. The overjoyed Occidental then began to talk and told the Dominican fathers that in his alleged stupor before being obliged to walk into the cham Der the only thing that came to his mind was his devoted wife who was slated to pay with her life for the deed he was responsible for in mak- ing her an accomplice.
 Father Gilligan urged all fathers to make their home surroundings what they should be, for he added, children follow the example more of their fathers than they do their mothers, for their mothers are with them throughout the day. while fathers are seldom with them.
 Benediction followed the sermon and congregational singing was evi- dent. Preceding the nightly serv- ices at 7:30 o'clock the Rosary is said. Masses tomorrow morning will be at 5:3O and ' o'clock. The mis-
