1937 NOTABLE FOR ITS
 "BIG APPLE" CROP
Year Had Its Dizzy Side, As This Review Shows
Rv NEA Service

Dy lN6h NSA NANS
 The year 1887 was filled with misery.
 Father Devine's wife left him, Mae West had to confess that she'd been an old married woman for years, Dizzy Dean had a sore toe, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a toothache.
 Down in South Carolina a group of college boys and a colored hoofer invented 8 dance called the Big Apple.
 There was some talk-you may we seen 1t in the papers-about labor trouble. Seems a lot of people wouldn't work or couldn't work while others said some folks should n't work. Then there was a lot of talk about Duke, at long last, marrying a girl from Baltimore.
 But in the main, the dying year 1887 will not be hailed with hug zahS by historians.
 Plenty of Fighting,
 But War? No! No!
 However, 1897 will be remembered for one thing. For the first time, perhaps, in history, the world was without war for a full year.
 Of course, a few thousand Ethio- plans refused to be civilized and had to be learned a lesson," and Japan chided China for some reason or other. But both Italy and Japan mercifully refrained from declaring war on these weaker nations. So careful, indeed, was Japan to pre- serve peace that she confined her fighting to rifle-fire for two minutes on Armistice Day in honor of the men who died in the war that end- ed all wars.
 ,Collegians on 576 campuses drop ped their studies to learn how to shine the Big Apple"
 A Klansman was seated on the Supreme Court bench. President Roosevelt tried to get the boys to make the Bench bleacher for some unemployed, deserving Democrats, and the Wagner Labor Relations Law was upheld. But 1897 waited until almost the last gasp for a truly great development in the world of law.

claimed any connection between
Hughes return and the klan ex-
pose.
Pettengill's attack upon Black
reyiyes their feud which began
when President Roosevelts public
utility death sentence" act was
before congress. Pettengill led
ore man crusade in organizing
house opposition to the measure.
While he was blasting away at 1t
on the floor of the lower cham
Der, Black introduced a resolution
proposing an inquiry into the lob
bying activities of the utilities
fighting the bill and later directed
such an investigation.
Blacks disclosures that one util-
ity company spent more than ST.
600. 600 in advertising attacks on
the bill and in organizing a letter
and telegram campaign against 1t
that deluged the offices of sena-
tors and congressman was credit
ed with weakening house opposl-
ton to the measure and leading
to it's eventual passage.
Pettingill said Senator John
Bankhead, D., Ala, told senator's
prior to Blacks confirmation that
Black was not Klansman. Bank
head, however, denied last week
at his home in Jasper, Ala, that
he had made such a statement or
given his colleagues any assur-
ances concerning Blacks Khan
relationship.
eff that did not correctly state
the facts, Mr.. Black in remaining
silent won confirmation by sort
of moral fraud which in my judg-
ment disqualifies him from the
supreme court" Pettengill said.
"Mr. Black owes a duty to the
nation by either admitting or
showing beyond question that he
is not a member of the Klan, and
does not believe in its racial and
religious intolerance. If he does
not clear himself of these serious
charges, others should clear the
court of him."
