AUTHOR SEES EVIDENCE
OF FASCISM IN U. S.
V. F. Calverton, Editor and
Author, Cites Three Definite
Trends Before Variety Club.

The principles of Fascism and how
they could be insinuated into the So
cial structure of the United States was
the subject of talk yesterday by VT.
Calverton, New York editor and au-
thor, at q luncheon meeting of the
Variety Club in the Willard Hotel.
Calverton, who has spent much of
his time in Europe recently, told his
audience that many Of the conditions
necessary to the success of Fascisn
were present in this country and listed
three definite trends by which Fascism
could be identified If it began to grow
here:
A capitalistic class willing to In
vest in mercenary armies to wage its
fight on labor, the presence of a
God idea," whereby one man at
tempts to defy himself as a chosen
leader OF the people, and the 'shyp-
notism Of hate" by which a people
is subtly given unity in the common
hate OF some certain race, creed or
thing.
Chasing Naziism and Fascism un-
der one head, Calverton termed it
the greatest advertising campaign in
the history of the world" He said
the movement gained momentum first
through money spent by capitalistic
interests, but that power ultimately
moves into the hands Of a political
minority as they undermine" the
moneyed interests through exorbitant
taxation.

-ARCUMENTSHEARD
BY JUSTICE BLACK
Takes Position as Full
Pledged Member of
Court.
BY JOHN H. CLINE.

With all pending questions as to
his eligibility removed, Associate JUS
tice Hugo L. Black today began hear
ing arguments as full-fledged men,
Der of the Supreme Court.
The court refused yesterday to hear
arguments attacking the legality Of
Blacks appointment, asserting his
critics, Albert Levitt, former Federal
judge, and Patrick H. Kelley, Boston
attorney, did not have a sufficiently
direct interest in the matter to en-
title them to a hearing.
The opinion, delivered by Chief
Justice Hughes. did not pass specifi-
cally on Blacks legal qualifications,
and presumably the question might
be raised later by any person with q
direct interest in the appointment.
In other important actions the
court agreed to review two new at
tacks on the Wagner labor relations
law and refused to review attacks on
four other New Deal laws. 1t agreed
to hear one suit involving the validity
Of the statute abrosating payments of
obligations in gold but refused to
hear another involving the same
statute.
The court consented to pass on the
question of whether the National La
Dor Relations Board can legally con-
duct hearing to determine whether
the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp,
Ltd, and the Newport News Ship
building IL Dry Dock Co. had en-
gagged in unfair labor practices under
the Wagner act.
The other controversy the tribunal
agreed to review was a Government
appeal from a lower court decision
that it must pay interest on liberty
bonds called for redemption in ad-
vance Of the maturity date.
The tribunal declined to review liti-
CATION involving:
Constitutionality of the 1886 act
broadening Federal regulation of COM
modify exchanges. That left in effect
decisions by lower courts sustaining
the legislation.
A procedural question over whether
the Georgia Power Co., after losing
in the Northern Georgia Federal Dis
trict Court, could proceed in the East
ern Tennessee Federal District Court
In attacking expansion Of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority power pro-
gram in Georgia.
A gold case brought by John Ogden
OF indianapolis, who sought to compel
the Treasury to redeem in gold his
liberty bond. which specifically pro-
vided for gold redemption. The high
courts action left undisturbed a rul-
ing of the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
dismissing the litigation.
An effort by Charles Martin of
Greencastle. Ind. to recover damages
from two directors of the Continental
Distillers & Importers Corp. that he
contended were responsible for al
legedly incorrect statements filed with
the Securities Commission.
The Merced irrigation district OF
California failed in its effort to OBJ
tain reconsideration of the Supreme
Courts decision holding unconsti-
tutional the 1884 municipal bank
rutpcy act, which provided for reduc-
ton of indebtedness by cities and
other political subdivisions.
Among the other 300 petitions acted
upon the court consented to pass on
an appeal by the Aluminium Co. of
America in an effort to prevent the
Department of Justice from proceed
ing in New York with an antitrust
dissolution case against the concern.

SENATE CAMPAIGN
HEAD TO Be NAMED
Will Fill Post of Chairman of
Democratic Committee
Vacated by Guffey.
BY j. A. OTEARY.

With many factors combining 10
give added interest to the 1888 battle
for Senate seats, administration forces
in that branch of Congress probably
will turn attention soon to selection
Of a chairman for the Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Shortly before adjournment in Au-
gust, Majority Leader Barkley an
nounced Senator Guffey of Pennsyl-
yania, present head of the committee,
had submitted his resignation from
the Craftsmanship, and at that time
Barkley suggested the question go over
until after the session. Since that
time the majority leader has been
in Europe for the Interparliamentary
Union meeting, but is due back in a
few days.
There is speculation on Capitol Hill
as to who may be named chairman,
assuming the Pennsylyanian's request
to be relieved Of the assignment is ac-
cepted.
Many Eligible.
1t is customary, though not manda-
tory, to pick as campaign chairman a
Senator from a State in which there
is no senatorial race in the approach
ing election. Even under that practice
there is group of nearly 20 from
which the choice of campaign chair
man could be made. Included in this
group are Senators Neely of West Vir-
ginia, Brown of Michigan, Green of
Rhode Island, Hatch of New Mexico,
Hughes of Delaware, Murray of Nom
tana, Schwartz of Wyoming and a
number of others.
Whoever heads the Democratic COM
mittee will fill an important role in
the 1888 of-year elections because Of
unusual circumstances that will
heighten interest in the senatorial
sector of the political battlefront.
First comes the fact that of the
81 regular Senate seats at stake next
year, % arc now held by Democrats
and four by Republicans. OF the 20
on the Democratic side, at least seven
are in Southern States, where the WIN
ners in the Democratic primaries will
be virtually sure of election. The re-
naming list of 81, however, includes
10 holding seats that were on the Re-
publican side before President Roose-
velt's first victory in 1882. They come
up next year without an accompany
ing presidential campaign.
Control Assured.
With rs Democrats in the Senate
today and one vacancy to be filed in
Democratic Arkansas, that party's
control will be in no danger next year.
But if the Republicans should regain
some Of the seats they lost in recent
years in former Republican territory
1t would give new stimulus to the
G. o, P. in its preparations for the
national campaign in 1910.

Into HibernUtiOn
BY the Associated Press.

WATERTOWN. Wis, october a.
Arthur E. (Turkey) Qehrke, the hiber-
mating barkeeper, has bedded down
for the Winter.
Beginning his twenty-seventh an
nual Winter retreat today, Turkey
locked himself in his bed room on
the second floor Of his tavern and
denied himself to visitors.
Even tapping on 4 water pipe from
the main floor failed to bring q re-
sponse.
Gehrke's bartenders said he was
out Of circulation until Spring. Meals
will be sent up by dumbwaiter.
Gehrke crawled out of his downy
blankets several times last Winter, but
always scampered back when a chilly
s-ast or a snowstorm hit the city.
Turkey began retiring for the'Win-
ter when he was stricken with .
stomach ailment many years ago. He
found that by staying in bed he felt
better, and ever since then has spent
the cold months in a horizontal DO
sition.

In COhan's Rb.Tickling Play

MY messages to Congress
Are lot Of boola boola;
I'm not 30 fond OF Bankhead,
But I'd like to meet Tallulah."
A major laugh came when the
President, at cabinet session, turned
to Attorney General Cummings and
ordered:
Cummings, take down q law!"
There was another when the Presi-
dent avowed:
I'm very fond Of Eleanor,
But I never read her column"
No mention was made of the Justice
Black controversy until the last act.
when nine black-robed Justices"
danced gayly across the stage and
Chief Justice Hughes warned the
ninth man in line:
Hurry up, Justice Black. Remem-
Der. you've got to 60 on the air at
1880 and do little more explaining. ;"
The satire apparently aroused no
partisan resentment, and cries Of
Speech! Speech" rewarded Cohan-
4 very realistic looking Roosevelt-at
the closing curtain. The veteran
actor. producer and playwright, who
has been on the stage since he made
his debut in 1888 at the age OF 10,
thanked his audience briefly.
The plot concerns two youthful
lovers who want to marry but can't

EARMARkING RAISE
FOR SCHOOLS URGED
Brookland Citizens Association
Would Curb Other Budget
Increases.

Proposing that the District budget
for the coming year should not exceed
s46,000000, the Brookland Citizens
Association voted clause to the reso-
luton that, in the event Of an in
crease. funds should be allotted solely
for school facilities.
DR.. George r. Ellis, who drafted the
measure, hinted at school conditions
in the northeast section particularly
in adding the clause. The Brookland
group has been advocating new
school for the territory for several
years, and according to President
Marvin M. Mclean existing schooling
conditions in the city warrant such a
subsistence as could be supplied by a
S2,000,000 appropriations increase"
The association felt that $4,000 900
should be the limit Of the budget sum.
Also included in the same draft was
the reservation that if further taxes
are necessitated by the budget in
crease. they be made in the form Of a
limited sales tax exempting merchan-
disc such as medicines and staple"
foods.
Permission of nonresident children
to attend schools in the District was
disapproved by the Brookland group,
which maintains that present laws are
unfair to local taxpayers inasmuch as
the outsiders are tuition-free. Levy
ing of fair" tuition fee was advo-
Gated.
Another move for the installation
OF a traffic light at Twelfth street
and Monroe northeast cited the close
proximity of an estimated 1000 school
children as we'll as adults who regu-
larly attend three schools and a
church in the vicinity.
Addresses were made by Henry Gill;
gan, prominent civic organizer. and
Rev. j. M. Gillum, pastor Of Brookland

PARK AUTHORITY
/. HIRED IN TEST SUIT.
Maryland Commission Re.
tains Cincinnati Lawyer
to Defend Law.
h stah Correspondent Of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, October 12.-The
Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has retained Al
fred Bettman of Cincinnati, the Ma
tion's leading authority on suburban
planning legislation, to aid in a suit
testing the commissions constitution
ality, 1t was learned today.
A suit was filed recently by Peter
Fritz, proprietor of the Log Cabin Inn
at Wheaton, whose establishment was
ordered closed by the commission last
month. Upon his refusal to close he
was served with q warrant charging
operation in violation of the commits
sion's order, and the Circuit Court here
granted an injunction restraining
county ofiicials from interfering with
his business pending q test Of the con-
stitutionality Of the act which created
the Park and Planning Commission 10
years ago.
The retention Of Bettman, voted by
the commission last week, was not re-
vealed until today when F. Barnard
Welsh, counsel for the Montgomery
County Board Of Commissioners asked
that the county pay Bettman's ex-
penses. The county is prevented by
law from hiring special counsel, and
Bettman's fee will be paid entirely by
the Park and Planning Commission.
The commissioners agreed to defray
Bettman's expenses.
The Importance Of the case was in
dicated when Welsh announced that
Charles w. Eliot, Government PLAN
ming expert, would cooperate with the
Park and Planning Commission and
county onicials in defending the suit.
On the outcome of the suit will de-
pend not only the legality Of the park
and planning movement in suburban
Washington but the legality Of similar
acts in more than a score of cities
throughout the Nation, Welsh stated.
While no estimate is available it is
believed that hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of property values will
be involved.
Fritz contended in his suit for an
injunction that the Park and Planning
Commission boundary lines for resi-
Dental and commercial property were
arbitrary and unreasonable and not
designed to protect public health and
morals and that therefore he was be-
ing deprived of his property without
due process of law. He was granted a
permit to build the inn several years
ago. but the property recently was
established as residential area.

BOSTON, October 12-Staid Bos-
ton circles-Republican and Demo-
cratic alike-rocked with laughter
today over George M. Cohans tap
dancing satirization Of President
Roosevelt and the New Deal.
Cohan scored one Of the most
notable triumphs of his career last
night in the world premiere of I'D
Rather Be Right" George S. Kauf-
man and Moss Hart's rib-tickling
musical-political comedy.
The veteran comedian, returning to
his first ng-and-dance role in 10
years, brought down the house when,
portraying genial, tap-dancing
President Roosevelt, he crooned:
IF I'm not reelected,
I'll never fear for hunger,
I'll never fear for thirst;
L have one son with Du Pont,
And another one with Hearst"
The satire, reminiscent OF the
annual Gridiron Club shows in Wash
ington at which newspapermen poke
good-natured fun at political plat
forms and leaders, portrayed "Alf
Landon" as an obstinate family but
Ter for the Roosevelts who refused to
explain to the President" how he
had balanced the Kansas budget.
A catchy tune called "Off the Rec
ord" - music and lyrics by Richard
Rodgers and Lorenz Halt-was the
vehicle for many of Corans most
successful sallies.
The first-night audience chuckled
particularly at these verses:
II sit up in my bed room,
Reading books like Silas Mariner
I'D read Sears-Roebuck catalogues
To get away from Garner"

RISE IN ESTIMATES
OF TAX YIELD SEEN
Revised Budget to Be Re-
VeaIed in Week-CoIIeCtions
Up Half Billion Over '36.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt may increase
estimates of Federal revenues for this
fiscal year in a revised budget sum-
mary next week.
Secretary Morgenthau and Daniel
w. Bell, acting budget director, gave
the President latest information on
the Federal financial situation yes
terday. The data will be made pub
lie in the revamped budget next Tues
day.
Discussing possible revisions, officials
said tax collections 20 far this year
have totaled Sits, 200, O,000-a jump of
43 per cent, or more than half a bill
lion dollars, over the corresponding
period year ago.
In budget issued last April. Mr..
Roosevelt forecast q revenue increase
OF only 30 per cent for the entire fiscal
year. The April estimate was S.
906,000, 900, and any upward revision
might lift it over the $1,000, 900, 900
level.
Loophole Law Helps.
One factor expected to bolster reve-
nues when the usual heavy income
tax payments how in next March is
the administrators new loophole-
closing tax law. Some authorities
have said the law, enacted after a
congressional investigation of alleged
tax evasion and avoidance, would in
crease Federal income by 500, 900, 900
year.
The April budget, itself a revision
Of the original budget last January,
projected expenditures Of $7,324OO0,-
600 for this year, or about $3.50, 900 900
under those of last year.
Since this fiscal period started July
/, gross expenditures have climbed
$276, 100000 over the same period q
year ago.
Seeking to reverse this trend. the
Treasury recently has been survey
ing possible savings, exclusive of SAL
ary reductions or curtailment of work
relief. Earlier, individual departments
set aside portion of their appropria-
tions in reserve funds, to be used only
on authorization by the Budget Bu-
reau.
