POLITICAL MISTAKE

Without going into the question of
the property or lack of propriety of
the retirement of Major General John
son Hagood of the United States
Army for criticism alleged to have
been heaped on certain New Deal
policies in a hearing before the House
Appropriations Committee some time
ago, it is evident that from a political
standpoint the action of the depart
ment was a serious mistake. 1t has
afforded opponents of the National
Administration an opportunity to pour
more oil on the fire of political oppo-
sition by charging that the right OF
free speech has been interfered with
and that the retirement smacks OF
European fascism.
For example, Senator Hastings, OF
Delaware, charged that the action is
part of "reign of terror" to check
criticism of the New Deal and he
added: Freedom of the press has been
helped by the Supreme Court, but
what we need is freedom of speech as
we'll"
A front-page two-column editorial
in the Hearst newspapers, comment
ing on the incident, is headed "Tyran-
ny Running True to Form" Congress-
man Blanton, of Texas, is quoted as
stating that when General HagooG
was given permission to testify before
the House Committee, he was given
permission to testify fully and freely
and that no restrictions were placed
on him.
According to newspaper reports a
statement from the White House said
that President Roosevelt personally
had nothing to do with the order and
had no comment to make.
Defense by Administration leaders
on Capitol Hill claimed that Hagood's
retirement was a routine matter
Again it was charged that previous
Republican administrations had gone
even further in disciplinipg military
men for critical remarks. The latter
argument is not exactly convincing
however, in that it seeks to excuse the
action of the Department in General
Hagood's case by charging that Re.
publican administrations had done
likewise. Two wrongs do not make q
right, if two wrongs were committed
and the contention lacks force, unless
it is to be assumed that the Depart
ment in the present instance was right
because the Republicans did it first.
Be that as it may, further indication
sof the inadvisability of the action ia
ken can be found in the fact that Gen
eral Hagood's remarks, made many
days ago, in which he referred to WPA
funds as "stage money" and criticized
electromagnetic" of the WPA in com
parison with expenditures for the
Army, had been practically forgotten
by the public until the General was
retired. Then they Immediately were

tration and were displayed on front
pages of hostile newspapers, .and
coupled with charges that a new
"reign of terror" had commenced.
i, General Hagood, who is a native Of
South Carolina, has been defended by
some Democratic leaders, as we'll al
by the opposition. They point to his

reason why he, should not have beer

MIR. Sully felt it acutely during the
days Immediately following the un-
happy interview in the headmaster's
room. When they saw each other, they
cut each other dead; yet Mr.. Sully
could not but observe Kelvin's daily

suspense the summons he hourly ex-
pected from the Board.
Altogether, most stupid, sordid,
tragic affair - oh, most! So Mr.. Sully
summed it UP as. on the Thursday
night. he sat alone in the drawing
room of his house. A coal-fire fiickered
in the crate and MIR. Sully sat with a
book open on his knees; but he could
not read. All this difficulty at the
school had unsettled his nerves. and

his back to the fire, tapping his eye
glasses restlessly on his thumb-nail.
About his drawing-room, as about
himself. there was faded elegance.
The red carpet was threadbare; the
damask curtains were rusty with age;
the red plush seats of the gilt chairs
were worn in patches; the keys of the
old upright piano were yellow. On the
round mahogany table stood a de-
canter of port, dish of walnuts, and
large bowl full of aged visiting cards.
Among the cards were those of such
men as Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde;
and. among other volumes in the
glass-fronted bookcase, were signed
copies of "Marius The Epicurean" and
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime"
MIR. Sully crossed to the piano. The
score of Peer Gynt stood open on the
rest. Mr.. Sully sat down and began
irritably to play. Before he had COM
pleted three bars, the startling, per-
emptory clangor of the front-door
knocker rang through the house. Mr..

from the piano and glanced at the gilt
clock on the mantelpiece. Ten past

counter with you in the Restaurant
La Pefia ON Friday. You are young
man, MIR. Kelvin, and a brilliant man.
You have done remarkable thing to
attain so young the headmastership
of such school as Thamescourt. But
you do not appreciate the response
bility of your post. A headmaster of
Thamescourt does not frequent cheap
foreign restaurants - certainly not in
the company of woman of dubious
reputation!"
Go on" Kelvin said, with a dark
glow in his eyes.
"You are naturally afraid that I
shall report such behaviour to the
Board, so you offer me this - this
bribe! You insult me, sir - but in
spite of that, will try to speak for
your own good. This is a London
school; the city is full of old boys and
parents of present pupils. To be seen
entering such a wretched hovel as the
La Peha, and in such company. would
be fatal for you! 1t would be the gossip
of the clubs within twenty-four hours.
You forget, MIR. Kelvin, that some
limelight attaches to the headmaster-
ship of Thamescourt - and more so
in your case, because of your youth.
Your present behaviour. sir. is both
risking scandal about the school and
counting dismissal for yourself. / do
not expect you to think as I do about
the good name of Thamescourt: you
are a comparative newcomer, I have
spent my life here. But do ask you.
MIR. Kelvin, to consider your wife"
Kelvin said softly: "Mr. Sully, you
resented my appointment from the
first. You felt that you have been
passed over for the headmastership.
1t was foolish of me to think might

ways suspected that l possessed in

obstinacy of youth! This fantastic idea

WHO'S CRAZY IS SUBJECT OF
 REPS SPEECH
Zioncheck Warns Constitu- ents Against Menace
 of Psychiatrists

SEATTLE, July 14.-Represen- tative Marion A. Zioncheck. whose stay in Maryland hospital for mental cases prevented his attend ing the closing sessions of Congress, warned his constituents here last night against "the menace of pSy- chiatristS."
 Speaking on the subject, Who's Crazy" before an audience of more than a thousand at a gathering sponsored by the Peoples Forum, Zioncheck asserted that mental specialists "are really one of the greatest menaces this country has" !"
 zioncheck assured his hearers that he would run for some office, but said that he hadn't decided which one. He also took swats at Postmaster General Farley and M arvin Mcintyre, secretary to President Roosevelt.
 He explained that he left fly spray and mothballs at the White House before leaving Washington because he wanted the President to clean out those flies and keep them out"
 Responding to a question from the floor, Zioncheck paid his re- spects to those comicals who call themselves Communists. In this country they would make every thing rancid and sour." He added there would be neither Communism nor Socialism under Roosevelt.

CANADIAN BOY
 IS BORN WITH
 EXPOSED HEART
Doctors Are Considering Whether to Perform
 Operation on Child

EDMONTON, Alberta, July IA Physicians are considering whether to operate on a three day old boy whose heart is fully exposed and protrudes from his body. He was born to Mrs. Fred Hadonek of Wasel, 92 miles northeast of here, and weighed eight pounds.
 The birth was normal in all re- spects except that the heart and heart muscles thump against the chin. The only covering of the heart, the pericardium outer coat, is exposed in an area two inches wide and three inches long.
 Dr, E. w. Svarich, attending phys ician, said that an artificial chest wall may be grated over the heart, but the operation may be fatal
 Tt would mean a tremendous amount of grating of ribs and out CT skin," he stated.
 The heart is covered at intervals with a solution to keep it moist as the organ would deteriorate if left exposed.
 The mother, who has six other children, is in satisfactory condi- ton. The father is farm laborer.

 SECRETS OUT
John H. Farnsworth Taken Into Custody in Wash

HAS BEEN UNDER VIGIL OF TWO DEPARTMENTS
Japanese Officer Implicat- ed-His Arrest Is
 Also Tinted

WASHINGTON, July h. Secretly arrested, after a long vigil by Naval officers and Department of Justice agents, John H. Farnsworth, f mer Navy Lieutenant Commander, is charged with sending a confidential naval publication to a Japanese Navy agent.
 FarnswOrth was discharged from the Navy nine years ago on charges of conduct prejudicial to the Navy. He has been watched for several years, mostly in Washington, D. C., and St. Louis.
 The Japanese officer al- legged to have received the publication is not named but it is intimated his name is known to the authorities and an early arrest is hinted.
 The arrest of Farnsworth is the second made recently. In Los Angeles, Cal, several weeks ago, Harry Thompson, 30, former yeoman in the Navy, was indicted, tried, con- victed and found guilty and quickly sentenced to 15 years in a Federal prison for selling secrets of his country's de- lenses. He was the first of peace-time spies arrested.
