Its aGreat System
BY JOHN PAINE
Lullaby Time

AuA40DY 4AuC
The Democratic and Republican
parties plan to spice their conven-
ton programs with more singing
and less talk.
Their arrangements committee
must have remembered the old
saying that if it doesn't make
sense when you say it, sing it.
A news dispatch from France re-
ports that women and kids of
striking workers at a French fac
tory lay down on the streets and
prevented buses from bringing the
scabs into the plant.
1t wouldn't work in this cOun-
try. BergOff thugs would run
right over them.

If you can tell who is the worst.
Herbie Hoover still insists on
delivering his ghost writer's
speeches at strategic points over
the country in an effort to pro-
mote his chances for nomination at
the Republican national cOnven-
ton.
Herbie, after having faw down
in 1882, still wants to 60 boom.
Optimism of Youth
Seniors at Columbia University's
school of engineering estimate that
by 1941 they'll be averaging a
yearly salary of $4,7OO.
They must have read that en-
glneers' survey printed about a
year ago that predicted a $4,S7O
yearly salary for everybody-pro-
vlded the profit system was
abolished.
The engineers must think that
J. P. Morgan and Nicholas Murray
Butler are on their last legs.
Prince Won Starhemberg, multi
millionaire Austrian Fascist whose
plans to seize the country went
aWry went to a football game al
most Immediately after arriving

He prObably found it dull.
After all, what fun can a foot
ball game be when you've been
used to kicking workers around?

stitution to permit the President to veto individual items of appropria- ton bills; so that, insofar as they could speak for him, Governor Lam dons friends had put the prospective Republican nominee in the position of being the first to advocate, not one, but two, amendments.
 Both of these proposals the plat form committee rejected, amid great protest that the Republican party hardly could go on record, under the circumstances, as the only party favoring Constitutional changes. To which MT Landon rejoined in his celebrated telegram, saying he might want an amendment anyway.
 Meantime, in the southwest, MT. Roosevelt was throwing out some suggestions that he liked the Con- Stitution, and that the only trouble was with it's interpretation.
 Will the Philadelphia Democratic convention do something to make all of this ineligible, or will it only make matters worse?

PRIVATE RESCUES THREE MATES NEAR
 CHILKOOT BARRACKS

Word of the thrilling rescue of three soldiers from Chilkoot Bar rocks by Private Zenith Williams was received here today by officers from the Barracks who are here aboard the Torrance
 The trio whose names were not ascertained in the dispatch, had hooked big halibut in deep water and in the melee of pulling him aboard their skiff overturned. Pri- vate Williams saw their plight and rowed frantically to their rescue with another boat pulling all three from the waters before they were overcome.
 Fate of the halibut was not re- vealed.

COURT TANGLES ISSUE

Then, just on the eve of the Cleve- land convention, came the Supreme Court decoision invalidating New York states minimum wage law. It was read by many as a denial of the right of the states to deal with that subject
 It took the Republicans, then al- ready on the way to their conven- ton city, completely by surprise. After much telephoning between Cleveland and Topeka, the Landon- ties offered plank for a Constitu- tional amendment empowering the states to pass labor legislation.
 Incidentally, they also presented 2 second proposal to amend the Con-

FARMERS STILL
 RECEIVE HELP

Washington, May 5 - (UP) - Approximately one out of every four farmers depends on govern ment financial aid, either through loans or direct grants, government statistics revealed today.
 Most of this assistance is from the farm credit administration, with the resettlement administration supplying the remainder. AAA and soil conservation benefits were not included in compilations leading to the one-in-four figure.
 If either AAA or soil conservation benefits had been inclHded. the number of farmers receiving gov- ernment aid would have been well over 50 per cent. Nearly 5000. 900 farmers participated in the various AAA programs, and officials expect the number participating in the new soil conservation program will be nearer 100000.
 Latest census bureau estimates on the number of farm operators in the country placed the total at G. 800000 in 1885. Thus. nearly SO per cent of the farmers participated in the AAA production control efforts. and approximately co per cent are expected to cooperate in efforts to curb soil erosion.

of colonies, and Giuseppe Bottai, governor of Rome, as his chief aides.
 Rumors continued to circulate that an Italian advance guard enc tered the city yesterday. These were denied.
 Reports that the chief Ethiopian commanders on the eastern front had deserted their posts and fied to French somaliland made 1t seem likely that Mussolini could announce the complete collapse of the last or- ganized Ethiopian force simultane- ously with his announcement of the occupation.
 Emperor Is Problem
 It was indicated that authorities were puzzled over the new problem presented by the departure of Em- peror Halle SelaSsie, through French soil to Q British warShip, without abdicating his throne.
 "It is Q most complex and deli- cate problem and 1t is being studied closely" an authoritative source said.
 So long as Great Britain and France continue to recognize the emperor, he will be Q source of irri- tation to Italians and an obstacle to peace. It Is foreseen that the British may use him as Q rallying point for further efforts to hinder and restrict 1taly's aims in Ethiopia.

RULED AGAINST
 LYON SHOE co.

Boston, May s - (U.P.) - John Moore, sitting as 6 trial examiner, today ruled that the Lyn Shoe Com pany of Lynn dominated and in terfered with the formation of the Lynn Shoeworkers' Union" in vio- lation of the Wagner -Connery col- lective bargaining act.
 He also held that the company, owned the United Shoe Company, "discriminated in hiring workers to discourage membership in the Uni- ted Shoe and Leather Workers Union by requiring any applicant for work to sign an application for membership in the Lynn Shoework- CTS Union."
 Moore recommended the company re-employ and employees discharged because of union activity, or if no vacancies were available, that they be placed on referred list.
 The United Shoe Company is en- titled to appeal the decision to the full national labor relations board at Washington.

Fighting Americans
 Are Safely Rescued
(Continued from Page D

, A little les sthan five miles. So long as the American legation was occu- pied, there was concern in better situated legations. No waiter stand ing seige for four days while await ing the Italian columns, nobody seemed worried any longer about their unexplained delay. All for- eigners were believed safe. Both the British and French legations are situated in extensive grounds, well defended, with barbed wire en- tanglements and great groves of eucalyptus trees.
 French Organize Defense
 French Minister Bodard has or- ganized an efficient defense. He has supervised the erection of wire er1- tanglements and the placement of machine guns for his little legation guard, which is wei larlned.
 The British legation is fortified for 0 real fight and has food for three months for 5000 people.
 Most people in the legation shel- ter, as at the French legation, were for but Q few of the hundreds in the camping out because there was room legation buildings.
 But they had the shelter of the eucalyptus trees, and Q constant military guard to protect them.
 In the British legation grounds, ideally situated for defense, behind thn ipNYN fPa tao 0aA Aagta,s Sr,a lie aH q, n big compound-encircled with IS miles of barbed wire.-there is 8 sharp rise up to the building prop CT, and there is even Q searchlight on the legation to guard against night attack.
 Native City in Ruins
 The native city was in ruins. Car cases lay in It's strets, first under e glaring tropical sun and then beaten by the terrific rains which, legation reports showed, are pouring down in- termittently-at once discouraging marauders and delaying the Italians.
 More and more white flags are ap- parent on the native huts that re- main, but the conquerors, 1t was plain, would find Q city of ruins, footed shops and evil stenches.
 The Italians were expected, at the moment their authorities select, to enter the city from the cast along the imperial highway. Hence those at the British legation, including the Americans, will be the first to sec them. There seemed to be no reason for anxiety now, however.

HINDENBURC TO
 CROSS ATLANTIC

Continued from Page 1.) service by dirigible include several who, like myself, crossed the Atlan- tic to Europe especially to make the flight back. Among them arc Mrs. Chalres B. Parker, of Rocky River, Ohio, who has made six previous zeppelin flights, and Wal ter Scott Leeds and his wife, of Palm Beach, Fla. At least seven women will be aboard the Hinden- burg for the transatlantic trip.
 Despite the fact that the Hinden- burg carries 6,719,000 cubic feet of highly inflammable hydrogen gas which 8 single spark would set off in a terrific blast, insurance com- panies consider the risk compara- lively light. Lloyds of London charged me only a 1 per cent prem ium on policies for the trip.
 To Avoid Accident
 To avoid any possibility of acci- dent, however, while landing at LakehurSt, instructions have been given that photographers stationed on top of the Lakehurst hangar to take pictures must wear rubber overshoes to obviate the chance of sparks from nails in their shoes. Smoking will be permitted aboard the Hindenburg in specially in- sulated room.
 Owing to the size of the Lake hurst hangar, the Hindenburg' $ length has been reduced nearly 10 feet. The huge dirigible now is 803 feet 8 inches long or about two- thirds the height of the Empire State building, worlds highest building, which would make it as tall as a 68-story building if it were stood on end.
 When fully loaded for the trans atlantic trip. the Hindenburg will weigh approximately 285 tons. It will be driven by four motors of II 100 horsepower each.
 Ninety People Aboard
 Ninety persons in all will be aboard the ship fog the voyage. Dr. Hugo Eckener, veteran diriglble chief. will be in nominal command but Capt. Ernst Lehman will have active charge.
 With the Hindenburgh in regular service, 1t will be possible to fly directly around the world by com. merciaI airlines as soon as passen. ger service across the Pacific by Clipper planes is started. Already { number of people arc planning such Q flight.
