The basic reason is lack of conf
dence, not old man confidence that
the politicians used to talk about a
few years ago, but the personal con-
fidence Of business men in their abil-
ity to make profits out of invest

lend them any money for that pur-
pose, unless both can see a profit
in it.

That may be. but within q week

DAVOS, Switzerland. February S.
The political assassination of Wilhelm
Gustloff, 40-year-old leader Of the
German Nazis in Switzerland, by q
Yugoslav medical student aroused
fears today of grave international
complications.
The assassin, who surrendered
promptly to police, told the authorities
he was David Frankfurter, q 26-year-
old Jew, and that he wished to strike
. blow against the Nad regime to
avenge sufferings he said were inflicted
on his fellow Jews in Germany.
Police said the student told them the
bullets should have struck Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler, but that he did
all In his power by removing the agent
who poisoned the atmosphere here. !"
Shot Down In Home.
The slayer said he came here from
Berne, where he attended medical
school, and went yesterday to the
home of Gustlod, a scientist, who had
lived in Davos for 20 years.
When Gustloff rose from q chair
to receive him, police quoted Frank
furter as saying. the student shot the
man down from the threshold of the
Nad's study without uttering q word.
Gustloff, physicist associated with
the Dawes Observatory, was struck by
five bullets and died almost immedi-
ately.
The assassin first fed, threatening
persons outside the apartment with
his gun, but later telephoned police
and was arrested.
He said he did not know Gustloff
personally, but obtained the Nazi's ad-
dress from q telephone directory.
Acted Entirely Alone.
Frankfurter asserted he was melted
by no one, police said, acted on no.
body's orders and belonged to no asso-
Of any kind.
He determined three weeks ago to
strike his blow at Hitlerism, the au-
thorities said, and bought q pistol at
Berne.
The slayer said he was the son Of q
rabbi, was brought up in Yugoslavia
and began to study medicine in 1929
at Leipzig, but failed his preliminary
examinations there and went to the
Berne Medical School In October,
1893.
Gustlon, q militant Nazi, had
aroused the anger of Swiss Socialists
by organizing Germans In Switzerland
In support Of Adolf Hitler.
Anti-Nazis repeatedly had de-
ri1anded expulsion of the scientist. but
the Swiss Federal Council decided his
activities were within the law.

Of lung trouble, was held in esteem

sional section today with an estimated
population Of 100000. She went
through high school and took a busi-
ness course. Straightway her ability
asserted itself. Her first job netted 50
q week. But within three weeks she
was raised to $12.
Her spectacular political career be-
gan back in 1921, when she was elected
vice chairman of the State Democratic
Committee, serving continuously until
1882, when she was promoted to the
full Craftsmanship. In 1882 she was the
first woman Democrat to be elected
freeholder in Hudson County.
In 1924 Mrs. Norton was elected to
the House of Representatives. She has
held her seat ever since without the
slightest difficulty. Numerous academic
honors have been bestowed upon her.
Several years ago she received the first
doctor of laws degree ever conferred by
st. Elizabeth's College, the oldest wom-
ans college in New Jersey. in recogni-
ton Of noteworthy service in welfare
and government.
As chairman of the important House
Committee on District Affairs Mrs.
Norton is virtually mayor Of Washing
ton" She recently said she "is am
bilious to help secure for Washington,
the Nations seat of government. all
the advantages and improvements it
could have If conducting its own af-
fairs and not under exclusive juris-
diction of Congress" The mayor" is
also a member Of the important Com
mittee on Labor.
T OVELIEST to look at Of all the
- legislative ladies is Isabella Green
way, Arizona's lone Representative.
Well-groomed always, of gracious stat
ure, she has calm, easy manner and
a keen sense Of humor. And she's just
as sweet and fine as she appears to
be. No member Of Congress was ever
known to say an unkind word about
her; and many an unfortunate victim
of hard times has benefited through
her kindness and generosity.
Mrs. Greenway is, q thorough cos
mopolite, traveller and blue blood.
She Is q close friend of Eleanor Roose-
velt.
The Arizona Congresswoman has
lived in many sections Of the United
States. She was born in Boone County,
KY, and spent her early girlhood
in St. Paul, MINI. In 1910 she
took fling at homesteading in New
Mexico, and later resided intermit-
tently between New Mexico and Santa
Barbara, Calf. In 1928 Mrs. Green
way established residence in Arizona
upon her marriage to John Campbell

Washington home on Colorado ave-
nue., quite some distance from the
heart of the city.
Representative Mary T. Norton OF
New Jersey has more 'firsts" hang
ing on her belt than any lady legis-
lator. She is the first woman to
be elected to Congress from the DEM
ocratic party; the first to be appointed
chairman of a congressional COM
mittee; the one in charge Of gov
erning the affairs of the District; the
first woman chairman Of a State
committee, and introduced the first
resolution in Congress to repeal the
eighteenth amendment.
And as if this were not enough, she
is the first of her sex to enter the
House from State east of the Mis-
sissippi: the first Democratic woman
ever allowed to dispense Federal pat
ronage; the first woman who ever
assumed active control of an Eastern
States entire political organization,
and probably the most important
woman politician this country has
ever known.
One could write a book on her
other claims to fame. Certainly she
didn't get her job in Congress through
social prominence or great wealth.
It simply came because she got out
and worked for it. Because she DEM
onstrated to the folks back home that
she was the best man" for the
job.
There are numerous other reasons
for her unparalleled prominence
which you understand the moment

A PROMINENT of Roosevelt
~ to be Assistant Secretary of
~ the Navy has almost come to
a be tradition in America. and
with the death of Col Henry Latrobe
Roosevelt the post again becomes va
cant and there Is much speculation
about his successor.
The impression prevails at the Navy
Department that Commander in Chief
Franklin D. Roosevelt will not fill the
sub-cabinet position until after the
official period of mourning for Col
Roosevelt elapses, on Saturday, March
Z, at sunset. Today the naval service
is wearing black in honor of Col.

While Secretary Swanson has been
in the Naval Hospital, a victim of
pleurisy and cracked ribs on the left
side, Col Roosevelt took command and
guided the affairs of the department
through the trying days of congress

Navy and the multitudinous details of
the annual supply bill.

called, is not just away on duck

a few days at Skaneateless, N. Y, his

How many hostiles were above?
Ken listened intently, then glanced at
the meadow across the river. His body
stiffened spasmodically like buck
in wndfall as he blinked and looked
again. Yes, the meadow was less
wide than before. Great God! That
dark line was not the woods but a
mass mounted braves riding silently,
like a black tide, across the clear
, spaces-and they were heading for the
| ford!
The marauding Apaches were riding
in loose, disorderly formation, with
their white shirts and white head
bands showing up with satisfactorily
distinctness.
Clip clop! A chief, rifle in hand,
rode ahead to investigate the ford,
then refined back suddenly. Up on the
right of way a ragged deafening vol
ley roared out and tore the mountain
stiffness into shreds. Down from the
trestle above there hurtled into the
river two or three indistinct black
shapes that lifted frothy jets of water
and then floated motionless.
On the waters surface flashes of
musketry were reflected, while the
bowls and chrieks of surprised and
stricken savages drew distorted echoes
from the gorge.
"Good old Yank waited It'll he got
'em right. Hope they can hold 'em."
Ken forced himself to ignore the bit
ter and deadly struggle overhead. If
the sharpshooters won, they won, if
they lost-he and his whole campaign
were lost and there was nothing he
could do about it. Too bad his forces
were so pitifully few. With thrice as
many men he might have hoped for
victory, but he knew it was ridiculous
to hope for success unless the long
expected troop train appeared. And as
yet he had not even heard the faint
painting of distant locomotive.
By straining his eyes he could dis
