Cole Porter Brings
Jungle Rhythm From
Bali to Stir New York.
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

u FEW YORK, November 2-Cole
Porter, with q cork hat,
" portable piano and q sheaf Of
sharp pencils as his principal
accessories, went down to the Island
Of Bali to get the pitch and rhythm
Of Red, Hot and Blue" The show,
opening in New York, spills some bar
barrie rhythms which make one forget
election sound trucks and other such
quadrennial disturbances Of nocturnal
peace.
This veteran kibitzer occasionally
gets out his cork hat and explores the
| jungles Of youth. Tribal loyalty to
Cole Porter runs high. II it is really
better to make the country's songs
than its laws, the Seventy-fift Con-
gress will make low bow in his direc-
ton and chant You're the top"
| Jerome Kern, with his European retro
spect, Is in danger of becoming q
classic. Cole Porter, casual and COLO
quail. stirs no Viennese afterglow.
| Casualties among classics are heavy
these days. Some industrious space
grabber could work up quite a piece
about the cultural antithesis of Messrs.
Kern and Porter.
Mr.. Porter grew up on farm near
Peru, Ind, where the circus has its
Winter quarters. Hence, possibly. his
ground-and-lofty rhyming-he writes
words and music. He went TO Harvard
Law School for one year. The dean
tactfully suggested that it might be a
good idea for him to catch up with his
music. Which he did, going to war
first, in the French Foreign Legion.
After the war. he studied in Italy,
came home and helped George S.
Kaufman with Fifty Million French-
men," He never played a piano in
tin pan alley. He speared success az
neatly as he spears rhyme or a tune
on the wing. =
To this observer, he appears to be
the only triple-threat composer. He
gets the Broadway sophisticates, the
ultra and outre Park avenue fans and
the big mob of run-of-the-mill citizens
who never get punch-drunk with

Gus trayesty.
There's story that Charles Francis
Coe once fought Battling Nelson 80
rounds in Brownsville. Tex. This
writer never could get the straight of
it. Anyway, he seems to be booked
for an even longer bare-knuckle con-
| test against racketeers. and there are
hints that he will make his new Or
ganization Of New York vigilantes a
national affair. Just now, supports
ing Landon, he battles supposed frau
dulent registrations in New York City.
He was born in Buffalo in 1890,
was one of the handiest welterweighs
clouters in the Navy, shufied back to
Buffalo and sold real estate at the
start of his varied business career.
He is intent on pointing the moral of

Certainly the substantial majorities

could but serve to confirm the worst
fears Of those who believe that the
President is intent on substituting
himself and his own ideas, his own
policies and his own lunches, for the
checked and balanced Government OF
this country.
Attitude Invites Strife.
There is obviously no preconceived
idea in his mind of establishing q
personal dictatorship on the Fascist
or Communist model, but it seems
now quite certain that the President
has worked himself up to the point
where he believes that . mystical
compact exists between him person.
ally and the American people, and
that the various branches of State
and Federal Government are to be
used or circumvented according to
whether they work or not within the
spirit Of that compact. This attitude
of mind will not engender peace.
This column does not doubt the
sincerity Of the President when he
says that the people and himself (you
and - feel that not everything is
perfect in this democracy of ours and
that there is room for reform. There
is. indeed. room for reform, and the
great weakness of the Republican

NAZI RECOGNITION OF
ITALIAN CONQUEST
IS EXPECTED SOON

BERLIN, Oct. 2S.-(UP):-
Growing friendly relations be-
tween Italy and Germany will, be
cemented further by German rec.
ognnion of Italy's conquest OF
Ethiopia, it was learned here as
the Italian foreign minister, Gale
a22o CianO continued converSa-
tons with Reich leaders.
Announcement of recognition
is expected Saturday after Ciano
meets Chancellor Adolf Hitler at
his Bavarian retreat in Bechtes-
gaden. An Italian spokesman SAID
it was "most likely that German
recognition of the Italian empire
will emerge from the Ciano visit,
although it is jumping to conclu-
sions to say any country Will re-
ceive economic privileges in Eth
opia."
Italy has been trying for long
time to obtain recognition by some
power of the Italian conquest and
il was suggested that Germanys
difficult trade and lack of raw ma
terials might be sufficient to OBJ
tain such recognition in return for
economic advantages. -,
Ciano's visit also was expected
to cement the gentlemen's agree
ment between the two countries,
although few observers are look
ing for written guarantees or
treaties as result of the current
talks.

Navy Investigates Collision Of Planes
Killing Cadet Near Pensacola Base

naval air base, when he bailed out
too late for his Chute to open. His
body was recovered.
Injuries to Gowdy, who failed
to leave the plane in time, were
not determined but surgeons at
the air base hospital said his con-
dition was critical.
The planes had completed an
intensive maneuver drill for a
demonstration planned for Navy

Monroe was at the controls of
Hogenour's ship; Gibbs plotting
the plane in which Gowdy rode.
Both machines were badly dam

Officials at the air base said last
night they could give no explana-

SHOWDOWN ON

POLICY LOOMS
Fascists and Communists
Are Aligned for
Clash Today
REBELS FIGHTING TO
ISOLATE MADRID

LONDON, Oct. %. (UP).-Rus-
,ia today informed the interna-
tional committee on non.interVen-
ton in Spain that non.intsrven-
ito agresmet has ceased in prae-
tice to exist"
Russia dema nded that the left
ist Madrid government be given
right and facilities to purchase
arms outside of Spain, while the
agreements participants be au-
thorized to sell not to sell arms
to Spain, according to their dis
cretion.
Russia's note was delivered just
before the non.intervention com.
mittee met for q showdown on
the clash between Communist Rus.
STA and Fascist Germany, Italy ad
Portugal. Both sides accused one
another of furnishing aid to the
parties Of the Spanish revolution.
LONDON, Oct. %. (UP).-The
Madrid government today faced q
grave threat in the violent rebel
drive against the strategic railway
town of Aranjuez. This impor-
tant railroad junction connects
Madrid with the Mediterranean
coast.
Rebel forces were out to cut the
railroad. If they succeed the cap
ital will be in a bad position as
regards the transportation of food
and military supplies.
The few highways that the 10y
alists hold are not likely to prove
adequate for the transportation of
these supplies.
The government was pouring
thousands Of militia reinforce
ments southwark toward Aranjuez
in its attempt to stem the rebel
tide.
Rebels bombed the city and the
cessation of wireless communica-
ton with Madrid indicated that
the Aranjuez radio station may
have been hit.
Another rebel drive was in
progress on the highways leading
to Madrid from the southwest.
Three enemy planes flew over
Madrid today but did not drop
bombs on the city. The planes
were at too great an altitude for
anti-aircraft fire to be effective.
Fierce fighting is continuing at
Oviedo, recently captured by the
rebels after a long siege.
European interest conferred here
in the meeting set for today by
the international Non-Interven-
ton committee, for which Fascist
Italy, Germany and Portugal have
aligned against Communist Russia
for q showdown on whether Mos
cow will attempt to save the Ma
