NEWSPAPERS OPINION
FEDERAL HOUSING,

The governments. new housing program, con-
siderably ballyhooed, seems to be having hard
time breaking through the she'll. a.s.
The understanding has been for some time that
the President had not been over to the idea.
which Senator Wagner has been sponsoring to this
end. . .'
His measure proposes to encourage low-coSt
housing activities through Federal grants to local
GOVERNING authorities as we'll as to private groups.
: Prenaration for government aidat to housing con-
struction began prior to the New Deal
An amendment tosthe RFC act allowed the RFC
70 axtend loans for low cost housing to limited di
,,dand bodies under State supervision. However,
only one major project, Knickerbocker Village IN
New York City, was undertaken as a result.
The first step under the New Deal for govern.
mont aid to housing came in the national industrial
,acoverv act of 1888. The second section"of the
net, relating to public works expenditures Specl-
fled low cost housing and sum clearance as one
of the activities to be undertaken
/ Tho works relief act of 1885 expanded the
ortbor;zation for low cost housing. BY this act 30
otbar nrnierts were put under way before the

WASHINGTON = Twelve years
w ago that doughty old war
rior, William Jennings Bryan,
took the platform in the Smith
McAdoo fight at the Madison
Square Garden convention and re-
ceived a terrible booing from the
anti-McAdoo delegates and galleries
packed by Tammany.
Today Democrats are discussing
the likelihood that Al Smith will
receive a similar but perhaps worse
dose of the same If he rises to at
tack the New Deal at his party's
convention in Philadelphia per
haps worse, because Roosevelt
forces will control nearly all the
delegates, as well rs the galleries.
It would be the first time, poll
ticians point out, that Al ever had
to "take it,"
The Farley-Hurja strategy will
be designed to make Smith, who
undoubtedly will be member OF
the New York delegation, look as
lonesome as possible. But it isn't
clear yet just what Al intends
to do.

he wants to address the couven-
ton. He may sit tight and reserve
comment until afterward.

RONTO, Ont, Nov. 30
Secret tests were re-

mystery carburetor" which, it's
hackers claim, can drive an auto
mobile 200 miles on a gallon of
ordinary gasoline.
The inventor is said to be
Charles Pogue, of Winnipeg, who
has been working on the device
for II years.
Current tests are being carried
out amid great secrecy in the
home of John E. Hammell, noted
mining man, where Pogue's labora-
tory is located. Hammell said:
They're knocking this thing
now. I never saw an engineer
yet who didn't pOOh-pOOh any

Hammell added:
"POgue told me the carburetOr
could be stepped up to 400 miles
to the gallon"

dian minister at Washington, is
reported handling the patents for
Pogue.

French Aid Pledged
In Case of Attack
On England
By MICHAEL WILSON

PARIS, Nov. 80 G.N.SO O.-Imme-
diate French military aid for
Britain if England is attacked will
be pledged by Foreign Minister
Yvon Delbos this week, probably
Friday, before the chamber Of
deputies, International News Serv-
ice was informed today.
Tantamount to declaration Of a
Franco-Belgian-British entente in
answer to formation Of the new
German-Japanese italian bloc, Del
bos is expected to make his pledge
as strong as British Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden's recent prom
ise that Britain would rush to the
aid of Belgium in an emergency.
Pledge of Mutual Aid
The western pact that will thus
be proclaimed is considered here
firm revival Of the former
British-F'rench entente-with Bel
gium included as result Of Eden'S
statement-and another striking
proof that Europe's so-called "col-
lective security" is as dead as
Premier Mussolini termed it, and
is fast being replaced by another
system of alliances.
Under the new alignment, the
Franco-British entente and the
Franco-Soviet pact will be arrayed
in opposition to the German
Italian and German-Japanese &C
cords. A reciprocal guarantee of
mutual aid in the event either
nation is attacked will form the
basis of the Franco British entente,
it was learned.
Extra point was lent Delbo's
forthcoming pronouncement when
it was recalled the French and
British general Staffs conferred
last spring on plans for mutual
aid in the event of war.
At the same time, War Minister
Edouard Daladier, in a fighting
speech at Neubourg in Normandie
served notice on Germany and
Japan that France is ready for
action. .,
While Frenchmen were still
digesting the words of Premier
Leon Blum that France, next to
Russia, has the most powerful
military force on the continent
Daladier declared:
"France will bend before no
force. We are profoundly pa
cific, but we won't beg for peace.
Angered by repeated insinua
tions that the French army il
well equipped but that its morale
is poor, Daladier declaimed:
Despite all menaces, French
men, be assured!
Don't lend your ears to panic
talk. The morale Of our army
was never better. Regardless of
what is said, our arms were
never more powerful"

FOSSILS FOUND
IN VIRGINIA

Science today was one link
closer to a better understanding
of animal evolution with the an
nouncement by DR.. Charles E.
ResSer, Smithsonian Institution
paleontologist, that he had dis
covered a large deposit of lime
stone rocks in the Appalachian
Mountains in Southwestern Vir-
ginia bearing fossils of cup
shaped "archaeocyathinae," called
"cup-bearers."
These ancient animals, which
are closely allied to the algae
plants, are said to have lived
more than 5O0,000,000 years ago
at the beginning of the Cam,
brian geologic era. They devel-
oped many forms and some of
the species collected by DR.. Res
ser look like lead pencils, some
like tiny demi taSse, and others
not unlike wine glasses, and cof'
fee mugs.
The archaeocyathinae lived off
the low-lying Cambrian shores
and, like the corals, extracted
lime from the sea waters and
built up calciferous outer skele-
tons. Aside from the algae, they
were the first reef builders.
The Importance attached to
this new discovery is that many
scientists believe they may con-
stitute the intermediate linking
between the sponges, supposedly
the crudest organization Of single
cells into an animal body, and the
coelenterates, represented by the
coralS, in which the organization

Ohio Newspaperman
Commends New Deal

LANCASTER, O., July 6-Edward
j. Mowery, editor of the EAGLE
GAZETTE, told 800 members OF
the St. Mary's Alumni Association
here last week that "a kindly
Providence and far-sighted Ad-
ministration" presaged the bright
est future for youth of today in
decade"
The newspaperman gave the
principal address at the 25th an
nual banquet-dance Of the organi-
zation at the Elk's Home.
The occasion, marking accept
ance into the association of 80 mem
bers of the class of 1886 was one
of the most enjoyable ever held BY
this group.
Molding his talk around the
theme, youths Outlook" Now
cry congratulated the graduates on
their successful scholastic careers.
Graduates of today" he said,
may enjoy the brightest outlook
on the future of any class in the
past decade. You may choose your
life work now, but it is up to you
and you alone to make that life
work a success or failure. A
kindly Providence and farsighted
national administration have paved
the way.
"All success seems yours to-
| night, with this gala celebration
given you by your predecessors.
But what of the future? That is
your problem and it must be solved
tactfully."
The editor warned graduates of
the misapplication, of their talent.
always remember" he urged,
that success in life is not always
measured by achievement. There
have been numerous successes
but they aspired to wrong goals.
You do not have to be a national
leader to achieve happiness-the
most important phase of your life's
work.
Live your life according to the
teachings of your educations. Shun
false pride! Choose an honest vo-
cation, work hard and every
obstacle will be met and overcome
in your path to success the editor
commented.
