In New York
RY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Nov. l0-A Manhat. tnn miseellaney: The visiting Holly woodianS have changed their cd. jectives, having tired of describing their handiworks as Gigantic. Ter- rife, Colossal, Stupendous. When they want to name something Big these days, they say "Titanic." It crept into the talk of one transient executive the other night ct least Q half dozen times.
 Add this to tho lore of the Royal Family: An actor friend was riding in a taxi with Ethel Barrymore when their conversation was inter- rupted by the hackman. Say" he said, "a!nt youse Ethel Barry. more9" She admitted the soft im- peachment. Whereupon the driver got quite excited. Hey" he con-tin- ued, wont my wife be oil steamed up to hear you wuZ in my cabl Not that's she's crazy about you, yum. derstand, but she's just nuts about your brother, Lionel"

 At long last, the public columns are getting around to giving MT. Edward Hydeman the tribute due him during the past decade and a half.
 Perhaps you have not heard of MT. Hydeman's humanitarian work on the behalf of New Yorks grow ing generation. Well, 1t has been his self-imposed duty in IS years to keep Gotharl's children happy and diverted, with varied entertainment and to do 1t under the handicap of reduced capital. But MT. Hyde- man hasn't worried about money. He has overcome that obstacle by soliciting the movie theater impre- sarios and the various Dexter Eel lows for free passes.
 At least twice a week, the children of Brooklyn are the guests of MT. Hydeinan and the management at a lavish cinema theater, and when the circus comes to town, the own- CTS of the big tent automatically set aside a couple of hundred seats for MT. Hydeman's wards, No one in any branch of the amusement world ever has refused this elderly humanitarian's young charges ad- mittance to their shows. A retired merchant, Mir. Hydeman has few other interests.
 Lady Luck's FavOrite Harry Green, the screen comic. got back to town some weeks ago and, on his own, revisited some old haunts. Among the places he went back to. in order to pay his respects, was the former site of fairly dilap- dated movie theater on Manhat- tan's lower east side. He had been the proprietor of these premises when he was l2 year old and how he came into the property is e story he is willing to tell.
 A notorious character who oper- ated the theater engaged Green to do song and tell a joke or two while the reels were being cooled of. The theater was merely a blind for a gambling den upstairs.

WHY FUTURE WAR
MUST BE WORLD WAR

Presence IN Spain of Italian and Ger
man troops, ostensibly enlisted as Span
ish insurgents, is sign board pointing to
the reason any major conflict in the
future will involve many of the nations
of the world. Only one way can the
United States keep out of it-by minding
its own business and adhering strictly
to the American form of democratic gov
ernment
The war in Spain, civil war through it
may be, is not war between two isol-
ated political groups within the country
1t is war between two directly opposed
political and economic theories, and
most of the nations of the world are en-
ploying one theory or the other at the
present time. Naturally, the sympathy
of nation goes out to the side espous-
ing its own theories. The only way for
any nation to stay clear of the confla-
grafton is not to espouse either theory.
Germany and Italy, ruled by dictat-
ors who fear so-called radical theories
more than anything else, naturally SYM
pathize with the military-F Fascist revol-
utionists. Russia, fearing Fascism more
than anything else, naturally sides with
the Communists who make up the loyal
ist forces in Spain Thus, on one side, is
a combination of Facsists and Nazis, rep
resenting dictatorship, and on the other
side is Communism, which in reality is
nothing more than another form of die
tatorship.
All of the nations have something
more than sympathy at stake. Germany
and Italy, for instance, foresee that
Communist victory in Spain would flana
their countries with potentially dam
gerous enemy in event of trouble with
Russia. The Soviet. by the same token.
foresees a strong nlilItarlst alliance
against her in possible trouble II the
Fascsts win out.
Americas path is clear, If she Is 70
keep out of trouble. Her form Of gov
ernment is neither Communist nor taS-
cist. 1t is. more truly than that OF any
other country, democratic. 1t must re-
main SO. If it does, there is little danger
of over-great sympathy with one faction
or the other.

LOS ANGELES FOUND
THE ANSWER THEY SEEK

Governor Frank Murphy, in Detroit,
has appointed a committee of promi-
nent citizens to seek some solution to
the problem of sit-down strikes. 1t Gov
ernor Murphy had been reading the
newspapers religiously, he would nave
read of the solution he seeks. Los An
geles found it. The district attorney
there sent concentrated police forces IN
to Santa Monica-and sit-down strike
ended almost before it began.
Even the orators who favor their
cause have not been able to find any
legality in the actions of sit-down strlk-
ers. They are, patiently, breaking the
law. They are confiscating by force the
property of another.
When this country has to hunt for
solution to the question: what shall we
do with lawbreakers?, then there will be
something sadly missing from the make
up of our law enforcement officers. The
solution already has been written into
the statute books The man who can
not find it is the one who cannot read.

WHEN POWER GOES
TO PEOPLES HEADS

Americans can learn to appreciate
their newspapers if they will read OF
the attacks by the controlled press OF
Germany against New Yorks Mayor
LaGuardia, because he ventured to ex
press the private opinion that Adolf
Hitler should adorn a chamber OF nor
rors." Because the government controls
the newspapers of Germany, the govern
ment tells the newspapers what to say.
What they have said is very, very tar
from the truth-a development to be eX-
pected when politicians control news
papers.
American newspapers reported what
Mayor LaGuardia said 1t was news. The
newspapers did not say it-thev only re-
ported it. Just as faithfully, they would
have reported any answer Hitler might
have made. They did report the answers
the German press made-if they could
be called answers The American papers
would not have and did not call Hitler
names Therein lies the difference.
The German government was angry at
Mayor LaGuardia; therefore, the Ger
man newspapers were angry aI MIN.
Therefore, too, the German newspapers
called Mayor LaGuardia-executlVe neao

Study Latest Example of Nazi Regeneration

You can learn quite bit about
the relative merits of democracy
and autocracy by studying the un-
declared war which Mayor LaGuar-
Ola of New York seems to be waging
with the Nazi government of Ger
many.
The mayor began it, as American
mayors SO often do by sounding off
at length on evils of dictatorship.
In brief, he suggested that New York
install chamber of horrors at its
coming worlds fair, and that it put
the brown-shirted figure of a Nazi
in it as a terrible example.
That started the fun. The Ger
man government lodged a formal
protest with the American State de-
partment, protesting that friendly
power had been insuied The State
department made the obvious reply
that while this might be SO, there
is no authority or tradition by which
an American government can eXer-
else the remotest sort of control over
an American mayor.
Then the German newspapers
swung into cry.
Der Angriff remarked darkly that
Germany might take an interest in
American events which might not
be precisely pleasant, unless Mayor
LaGuardia's "slanderout words" are
retracted. 1t added that the solidly
Italian mayor is New York's chief
jew"
Other papers followed suit The
mayor was denounced as "a shame
less lout." as IAN apostle of hate
with thieves den mentality as
nasty fellow" (someone was lacking
in inventiveness, on that one), and
as New York's chief gangster.'
And out of it all we get one of
the frothiest teapot tempests by
which German American relations
have been troubled since Huey Long
received Nazi cruiser commander
while clad in green silk pajamas.
The things ISN'T important, of
course. 1t is simply one of those
squabbles which are inevitable when
