Britain and France, among the
great powers, would be left almost
alone to face the coalition. Rus
STA would find it difficult, if not
impossible, to wage two major
wars simultaneously on fronts
5000 miles apart.
But Italy does not welcome the
prospect. She does not relish an
alliance with Nazi Germany.
Mussolini, it is said, does not love
Herr Hitler. But politics, whether
national or international, makes
strange bedfellows, and there have
been stranger than II Duce and

Italy and Germany nearer than TO being

Haly'S Case Explained

NTUSSOIINI holds that Ethiopans would be i'm

ton than to remain as they are. In this he is
strongly supported by many experts on Africa

story that could not verify with my own eyes.
do not intend to depart from that rule now. But
the sheer volume of available evidence supporting
Itays case that she is merely occupying savage ter
ritory whose inhabitants would be better off under
any civilized people is astounding.
COL Rookie insists that if his countrymen could
know half of what he knows they would be horri-
he'd. Not knowing, he says they driven by senti-
ment, the Anglo-SaXor urge always to support the
underdog, into committing grave blunder. For the
sake of the Philippians themselves he emphaticaly
urges, somebody should lift them out of their misery
That, at any rate is the case for Mussolini. And
that it seems, is the belief of the whole Italian
people Americans who have lived here many years
say that Mussolin has never before had nearly
the full support of his people.
II forced by Italys struggle for survival as he
sees IT, INTO an opposing balance of power he will
accept the inevitable He will join partnership with

is in its application to those two
games from the moral law that would
judge the actions Of two men playing
dice by an altogether different stand
ard, and the two men playing horse
shoes by an altogether different stand
ard. namely the amount that they
ventured-whether they did it freely,
and whether the game was honest and
equitable"
Justice O'Donoghue said he could
not close his eyes to the fact that
these machines are pregnant with
the possibilities of fraud"
"The change of the spring." he con-
tinued, ''the change of the plunger,
the slightest change in the level Of
the machine, the change in the ball
or the composition of the ball, or a
slight change in the size Of the ball,
change in the pins making them
stouter or thinner, longer or shorter,
a change in the size of the holes
all these things are such that no
matter what skill a player might OBJ
tain in one day or in one week, it
would go for naught on facing that
same machine with just the slightest
changes made in one or more of these
things that have just mentioned"

After allowing them to be operated
for some time, Garnett ruled last July
that they were gambling devices, and
requested the police to seize them.
When the Pioneer Novelty Distributing
Corp. proposed, however, that the
question Of the legality Of the ma
chimes be settled in a court Of equity
rather than through criminal prose-
cution. Garnett acquiesed.
After preliminary hearing, Justice
Oscar r. Luhring granted q temporary
injunction. saying he was In doubt
whether the machines are games Of
skill or chance, and that they should
not be seized until this point was de-
termined by testimony at final
hearing.
The trial Just completed before JUS
tice O'Donoghue concerned the appli-
cation for a permanent injunction.
The judge dissolved the temporary in

Senator Wheeler, chairman Of the
Interstate Commerce Committee, an
nounced today he would hold q series
of conferences with labor groups and
Senators to agree on the form Of a

for Industrial Organization, Of which
John L. Lewis is chairman, as two Of
the groups he would consult. Both
have declared in favor of such an
amendment rif necessary" to permit
Federal regulation.
Wheeler announced also that he
would meet with several liberal" Sem
ators to work out an acceptable
amendment and that the conferences
would be started as soon as Congress

"The question Of constitutional
amendment will be one Of the principal
issues to come before the Seventy
fifth Congress" Wheeler declared.

j. s. DISTRIBUTING
PENSION BLANKS
e. 900, 900 Applications Go
Out to Wage Farmers
From Post Offices.

Twenty-six million wage earners In
the United States began today to re-
ceive their applications for Federal
old-age benefits under the social
security act.
Distribution was being made by
As, 900 post Offices, where completed
forms are to be returned by Decem-
Der 5.
The delivery here was being
launched this afternoon and by to-
night, Postmaster Vincent c. Burke
expected to have the applications
available to the 125,000 or 100000
workers eligible for enrolment under
the pension plan, which becomes effec-
tive January /, 1912.
Concurrently, 1t was made known
at the Social Security Board that some
communications are continuing to
come in from concerns operating their
own pension plans, which raise the
question as to the possibility of being
exempt from the Federal set-up.
Board Silent.
The board, however. Is not COM
mitting itself at this time.
Various proposals for amending the
act have been brought to the atten-
ton Of the board" it was said. "These
and others made within the board
are being extensively discussed and
given careful considera ton, but the
board is not prepared to make public
now any formal presentation Of its
views on these and other matters"
At q meeting of the board this past
week, 1t was decided to spend q month
studying possible changes In the act.
To Publicize Facts.
In an effort more fully to acquaint
the public with the operations of the
board it was arranged today to in
augurate press conferences. Last
night, Chairman John G. Winant
spoke over a Nationwide hook-up
on the benefit plan, and tonight, Vim
cent M. Miles, board member, will
go on the. air to outline the results
Of the first days distribution Of the
employe applications.
With the return Of these forms
the Internal Revenue Bureau will be
prepared to collect the tax which
starts January next. The first in
stallment is payable February %. For
the first three years, this amounts to
/ per cent of salary from the en-
ploye, and / per cent of pay roll from
employer. It goes up q half per cent
every three years then until reaching
the maximum Of . per cent from
each in 1949.
The benefits will range from $40 to
$85 monthly, depending on total
wages earned until the payments start
for those reaching IS.
Since the deadline for employers to
apply for an identification number"
has now passed, questions about the
Governments attitude toward those
who refused or failed to do 50 are
being asked Of the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
Oficials said each case would be
decided on its merits, without any

who had been mentioned frequently as
o probable winner.
Saavedra Lamas, prominent in the
League of Nations and recent president
of the League Assembly, received the

German Minister Salm declared a
regret for the award to Won Ossietzky
and asserted it "will create the embit-
terment of Germany"
A committee OF the Storting, Nor
wegian Parliament, selected the prize
winners. The peace awards were the
last in five categories from the Nobel
fund.
The other four-for literature,
physics, chemistry and medicine
were conferred by Swedish institutions.
1t was the second announcement
within two weeks of selections from the

chemist and explosives manufacturer,
who devoted his vast fortune to the
establishment of the five prizes.
U. S. Dramatist Honored.

the bandits.
The robbers are believed to have
used the soldiers automatic in intim-
idating Walter Holt and Miss Virginia
Ash when they were held up on Beech
drive in Rock Creek Park the night
after the abduction of the sentry.
Holt was robbed of about $14 and
left bound and gagged in the woods
after the bandits stole his car and
drove OF with Miss Ash.
The second hold-up took place last
Friday night, when two Fairfax cou-
ples-Mary and Thelma Shelton and
Gordon Riggles and James C. Steele
were robbed and tied with their own
clothing on lonely road below Mount

was not in itself violation of the So
called Lindbergh law, because the
soldier was not transported across a
State boundary for ransom. Intra-
state kidnapping is not Federal Of
fense. Prosecution probably would be
effected under laws governing assaults
and thefts on Army reservations.
Surprised while he was doing sentry
duty in an isolated section of the
Army post, Ayers was thrown into the
rumble seat Of an automobile, driven
to point near Chain Bridge and left
there after being robbed of his auto
matte, ammunition and spurs.
He was found in dazed condition
by a farmer, who telephoned Fort
Myer. After being taken back to the
post and given first aid for an injury
caused when the rumble seat top was
slammed on his head, the soldier was
able to give an account Of the abduc-
tion.
Ayers said his abductors shouted
at him when they stopped their car
on road near the post laundry,
where he was stationed. When he ap-
preached the car, he said, two of
the men got out and stuck revolvers
against his side.
They disarmed me-" Ayers told
Fort Myer officials, threw me into
the rumble seat and locked me in.
Then they drove to the place where
they let me out.
"One of them, armed with a black
Jack and gun, wanted to beat me in
the woods, but one of the others
stopped it,
Ayers said one of his abductors wore
riding boots and breeches, an outfit
also worn by member of the trio
that has figured in the two parker
car hold-ups.

his assailants from a police picture

once made themselves at home, they
will require little care, except some
removal of some Of the plants to
keep them In bounds.
Preparation Of Shrubs.
TN A series of studies at Wisconsin
University, 1t was shown rather
clearly that a mixture of half sand
and half finely pulverized granulated
German peat was the best material
for roofing cuttings of most shrubs.
The exceptions that did better in sand
were the lilac, rugosa rose, Korean
spirea and Virginale mock-orange.
However. in most all plants, straight
sand was better medium than was
straight peat most. These experiments
were carried out in late Fall and
Winter in a greenhouse in a regular
propagating frame provided with bot
tom heat.
Garden Notes.
A s THE locusts begin to die, the ma
- ture Of their prospective injury
becomes apparent in dying tips OF
limbs and branches of trees. Aside
from covering young trees with cheese
cloth, there Is little that the home gar
dener can do. Very fortunately, large
trees will suffer little more than a
pruning, and, best of all, another II
years will elapse before another out
break occurs AS one home gardener
remarked, it is very happy indeed that
the locusts do not eat foliage, for their
very number would make for calamity.
Strawberry growers had a rather
brief season, with the mulched and
well-cared-for beds being much more
productive than those allowed to shift
largely for themselves. Dorsett and
Fairfax varieties developed by the De-
partment of Agriculture continued to
make a good name for themselves as
high-quality, good-colored berries.
The mock orange has long been a
popular shrub on the home grounds
because of its beauty and sweet orange
fragrance Some of the newer double
flowered varieties. such as Avalanche
and Virginale. are great advance over
the older form and should be planted
in preference. The new varieties cost
little more in the beginning but are
no more difficult to grow. As matter
of fact, the mock oranges are singu-
larly free of dangerous pests.
