MENACES POPE.

ROME, Nov. 13 O.N.SD. Re
ports Pope Plus actually is suffer
ing from Bright's disease were de-
MED by the Pontiff's physicians to-
day, but it was admitted urgent
measures are being taken to fore
stall such a development.
The Pontiff's condition, result
ing from breakdown of kidney
functions, has been verging toward
Bright's disease for months. Thus
far, however, there has been no
puffiness of the eyes, forehead or
cheeks, symptomatic of this
disease.
Prof. Milano, the Pope's personal
physician, admits there is genuine
danger of uremic poisoning owing
to poor metaboliSm.
The Pontiff today received in
audience 5000 missionaries. He
walked with firm steps and with
out apparent difficulty.
Providing himself an excellent
denial of reports he is extremely
weak, the Pope addressed the mis-
sionaries for 63 minutes, one of
his longest speeches of recent
weeks. The Pope spoke in a fairly
firm voice, although he was pale
and his face was drawn.
The Pontiff told his audience
the need to intensity missionary
activities is the greatest in the his
tory of the church.

waited regularly during the sum-
mer, reports L. W. Kephart, weed
specialist of the Bureau of Plant
Industry. Just as regularly the
bindweed came on again, although
other vegetation was dead or
dormant. This same vitality of
bindweed is often observed wher
ever it is crop pest.
Bindweed keeps growing despite
cultivation and drought because
of it's deep-root system, usually
extensive in proportion to the
plant itself. Bindwood roots, some
of them 25 to 80 feet long, are
q storehouse of food for the plant
and give it its unusual vitality,
says the Department of Agricul
ture.
Constant cultivation, however

weed at least once a week for at
least two years-eventually will
kill it. Experiment by the De.
partment of Agriculture indicate
fallow of bindweed plots is more
effective when there is a fair
amount of rainfall. If the weather
is too dry, says Mr.. Kephart, the
bindweed grows so slowly that the
killing process is delayed.

AUTO MAKERS
FIGHT TAX

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 0.N.S0
Repeal of the Federal tax on un-
distributed earnings was urged
yesterday by M. E. Coyle, presi-
dent and general manager of the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
Declaring he wanted no polit-
ical significance attached to his
statement, Mr.. Coyle said he
hoped to see the tax abolished
"in the interests of both the
owners and employees"
Mr.. Coyle, who was one Of the
speakers at a luncheon given at
the Advertising Club, said:
During the recent depreS-
sion, when new or re-financing
was difficult, If not impossible,
many consumers were able to
hold their organizations to-,
gether, meet their payrolIs, re-
tain their relationships with
sources of supply and their
dealers only through the use
of surplus accounts previously
accumulated.
"It is important to insure the
permanency of our national in
stitutiOnS by encouraging profit
accumulatiOnS during periods of
relatively high volume so they
will be available in time of
need"
Lee j. Eastman, president of
the Packard Motor Car Company
of New York, who also spoke,
agreed with Coyle that the auto.
mobile, as a product, was greatly
improved and today offered a
better value than ever before.
Mr.. Eastman said:
"COStS are now going up.
Whether or not the autOmOtive
industry can maintain present
costs is a question. We hope
buying may continue in Suffi.
cient volume to overcome a
steadily increasing cost. If not,
the only alternative will be
that when prices are readjuSted
they will go up."

'YARDW0RKER
WAS SCHOOL
PIONEER

Washington parents owe a great
debt to William J. O'Brien, re.
tired Navy Yard employe, now liv,
ing at 1912 East Capitol st.
For it was Mr.. O'Brien who cru,
saded the movement which finally
brought about the legislation Civ.
ing free textbooks to Washington
school children.
1t was about 1910, he recalled
today, that he introduced the first
resolution in the machiniSts'
union urging Congress to adopt
this legislation. He added:
at was a long fight, and the
legislation was pigeOn-hOled in
Congress for some time, but as
you know, we finally accom-
pliShed our goal"
Starting in 1890 to learn his
machinists' trade in Baltimore,
Mr.. O'Brien, who is now SO, joined
the force at the local gun factory
in 1901. He retired in 1888.
His activities while there touch
on worldwide history, for he was
one of those who worked on the
railroad mounts at the yard-na
val guns which were mounted on
railway trucks-w hich were e
shipped to France during the
World War and were used to break
the Hindenburg line.
He took an active part in the
union at the yard, and was one of
the leaders in the campaign which
finally brought about enactment
of the retirement law.
Following his retirement from
the Navy Yard, he explained today,
he became restless from lack of
something to keep his mind &C.
lively occupied. So, today he is a
salesman for a local oil burner
company.

small enterprise who have been
ignored in ell the pretense Of social

appeals to the women Of America
who have borne the hardest blows
Of depression and unemployment
and now face the problems Of
household management under q
rising cost Of living In an economy
Of scarcity.
Republican Party Has
No Patent N,strums.
The Republican party does not
promise to solve I'LL these prob
lens that you face. It has no
patent nostrums to cure every eco
nomic i'll. There Is no royal road
to the solution Of all our economic
problems. But the Republican
party does make certain promises.
It does promise fair and honest
government. 1t does promise that
this government will be as eco
nomical and eff1cient as it can be
made. 1t does promise to make
every effort to install sensible and
practical measures to help in the
solution Of the problems Of trade
and agriculture, the problems Of
poverty and insecurity. Above all,
it promises you that in its efforts
: to aid in these problems it will not
prevent you from trying to work
out your individual and personal
problems for yourselves, with your
own ambitions, your own enter
priSes and your own energies.
Through the 1000 years of
Christian civilization the price of
progress has been sacrifice. Three
hundred years ago our forefathers
could have purchased safety, but
at the price of liberty. They could
have remained safe In England
and left the new world to be con-
quered by others. The men who
signed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence could have lived safely
as colonists In the British En-
pire, but not as free men. Sew
enty years ago our fathers could
have avoided civil war the price
Of q disrupted Nation. They all
preferred sacrifice to safety.
Again we reach a point where
the blazes along the trail run out.
Two ways lie ahead. One lies
along the apparently easy valleys
Of a regimented society, main
tanned by a paternalistic Govern
ment which falsely promises to
provide its subjects with security
that men were won't to purchase in
the past by their own efforts. The
other lies along the rugged heights

Il Is not q question whether Fed

cessful or not. It is the verdict Of
history, from Diocletian In Rome to
Mr.. Roosevelt in Washington, that
no one man can successfully guide
the course of industry for o great
nation. All the major New Deal
experiments have ended in failure
and economic loss. There are
known and true principles Of eco
nomic life. There are. for that
matter, competent economists, If you
will look for them outside Of Wash
ington. There are limits to the
ability OF government to regiment
the economic life Of a people. When
it blindly passes these limits, 1t
does not encourage Industrial pro-
duction: it destroys 1t. Such in
reference always encounters a
drought or some other force beyond
the control even of a New Dealer.
There are limits beyond which
Federal regimentation should not
60. even If 1t could be efficient.
When 1t passes these limits it de-
stroys personal initiative and in
dividual liberty. The American
people do not want Federal regi.
mentation Of their economic activi-
ties even If it could be efficient and
fair. As AL Smith has expressed it,
the American people do not want a
dictator, not even II they could get
q good one.
Economical Government
Issue for November.
Here we have the issue that
must be decided next November.
1t Is whether the American people
shall have an orderly and eco
nomical government recognizing
the limitations Of Federal power
or a government determined to
reorganize the American economic
system by experiment. We know
what the decision will be. The
people want recovery, not rhetoric.
They want economy, not waste.
They want work, not relief. They
want cooperation among the
partners in production, not indus
trial strife. They want order in
economic life, not an occasional
breathing spell. They want dig
nifty in government, not q merry
go-round. They do not believe
that all bankers are scoundrels,
that all employers are exploiters,
that all business men are mott
waited by greed, that all working
people are victims of oppression.
They do not believe that the
American system was q failure un-
til the New Deal came along to
save it from its sins. They do not
believe that American industry is
a jungle of cut-throat competition
dominated by intrenched greed.
The people know that with the
election Of q new administration
next November the damned-up
forces Of recovery will burst forth
in q magnificent prosperity.
The American people know that
in mans long and troubled jour-
ney through the ages he has faced
flood and famine, pestilence and
drouth, conquest and slavery,
tyranny and injustice, poverty and
depression. They know that he
has overcome these savage enemies
through his unrelenting determi-
nation to work out his own eco
nomic salvation. Poverty and in
security are not yet exterminated
In our land. Economic hardship
and economic injustice are not yet
