Coronation.

When King George vi and his gracious
consort, Queen Elizabeth, were crowned
In Westminster Abbey, London, today,
the whole world attended the sacred
ceremony. In the quarter century which
has passed since his beloved parents
were the central figures in similar rites,
the new sovereign has seen his fellow
men enter new period OF human
experience era OF unprecedented ex-
pansion of human dominion over cir
cumstance. The race has been drawn
together by compelling forces OF at
traction. Not even the most costly OF
wars and the most extravagant of revo-
lutions have been competent to halt the
processes whereby the entire popula-
ton of the globe has been constituted
q single neighborhood.
The fact OF this vast correlation OF
society is too self-evident to stand
IN need of argument. It is manifest in
the press, in motion pictures, in radio
all the services of communication by
which the multitudes are educated; in
aviation, automotive transportation, land
and water travel of every variety; in art
and science, philosophy and religion: in
the day-to-day toll of struggling mil
lions and in the rewards which, as never
before since history began, those mil
lions receive for their labors The most
distant frontier settlements of the earth
share the same patterns of mind and
the same aspirations of the spirit. Unity
the hope for fellowship and peace-is
the motif of the age.
And King George vi is personified
symbol OF the universal dream. He rose
from his bed this morning just a man
like other men; weary and heavy
burdened. he will seek repose tonight
with a divinity about him. That is the
significance Of the ritual in which the
imperial state and the national church
combine to enthrone him. He will be
set apart from the race to which he
belongs So long as he breathes he
must be living emblem OF the social
institutions which in their aggregate
are the armature of civilization.
But he will reign, not rule. His en-
pire Is q federation of independent
democracies; his subjects are free, pos
sessed Of liberties which King George
vi himself must protect, yet rarely share;
defend, yet imperfectly enjoy. Few will
envy him his royal role. 1t is a part
in the drama of contemporary times
which only voluntary martyr would
desire to play. Duty to which he has
been disciplined since childhood-the
obligation of unquestioning obedience
and courageous patriotism alone explain
his consent to accept the responsibilities
to which fate has assigned him. He bows
TO the demand of destiny he did not
seek, accepts a challenge he did not
solicit.
The debt OF humanity to King George
vi is, then, the more definite. It will
be charged against every citizen OF
Christendom to support his effort for
the common good. The coronation, 80
regarded, is a covenant between the
Almighty Father and all His children.

Detr1cti0n.

Detraction.
It's useless to set out to please
The universal throng.
Though plaudits are attained with ease,
Some censure goes along.
Although some work is finely done,
Well hear In accents grim
The words of some disgruntled one
Il don't think much of him."
The favorite author of the day
Evokes q critics ire.
The actor, struggle as he may.
Finds folks who won't admire.
Even the bridegroom who draws near,
So tremulous, though trim,
Whispers on either hand will hear,
II don't think much OF him."
Evening star., 1937-05-12

Today the coronation will be spoken of
as belonging to the past tense; at the
same time deserving new influence in
measuring effects on the future. Only
the gentlest of lessons can be drawn from
the approach to supreme power which
gives this day vital significance through
out the world.

G.. o. p. Relief Plan.

A concrete, definite and carefully
thought out relief program has been
introduced in both houses of Congress
by Republicans, Senator Vandenberg in
the Senate and Representative Robert
Bacon in the House. AS explained by its
sponsors, the plan follows the theory
Of relief laid down in the Republican
national platform of 1896. It must,
therefore, be considered the Republican
relief plan. However, the Republicans
are not inclined to be hoggish. They
would welcome with open arms Demo-
cratic support for the measure, or they
would turn the whole measure over to
the Democratic majority with their bless
Ing, provided the Democratic admin
1stration would stand for it.
This relief plan turns the administra-
ton OF relief back to the States, makes
the States responsible for one-quarter
Of the relief money expended, continues
to have the Federal Government provide
the lions share of relief funds and sets
up q Federal relief board consisting OF
three members, not more than two Of
whom shall belong to the same political
party. The advantages OF this plan
over the present political and bureau
cratic relief set-up are manifest.
In the first place, the States, not the
Federal Government, are the proper
agency for the distribution of relief
They know their own problems far better
than does the Government at Washing
ton. In the second place, the estab-
Nshment of Federal bipartisan board
to administer relief-with bipartisan
boards in the States actually to pass out
relief-would be tremendous gain. Re-
lief In politics is as bad as rum in
politics.
The Republicans sponsoring the new
relief plan have followed President
Roosevelt's recommendation for relief
appropriation with what they consider

We sailed along narrow stream
Lined with oerhanging trees;
Drifting, as In fairy dream,
Above tree-shadowed leas.
The lucent current gave effect

The glowing sun on high.
Beside the stream grew flags, tall, blue,
Lny-pads white and green;
And fish of every known hue
Went darting in between.

And, oh, how beautiful this earth

Something interesting remains to be
said by the master Of the airship, Hugo
Eckener, on the destruction Of the

was sailed without proper fuel the fact
should be made known and the reasons
for such a procedure made plain to the

Endless Investigation.


They tell US naught is made IN vain,
And maybe this is so.
The heat, the cold, the wind, the rain
Each has its use we know,
But why are whiskers waving light
And why are mice and rats.
Why does sax band howl by night
And why are funny hats.
And why are books nobody reads,
And why are earthquake shocks,
And why are fields Of noxious weeds,
And why are fancy socks?
So many things come drifting by
Which deeply we deplore
We pause, and with another sigh
Investigate some more.

way for the innocent and trusting Avery.
And then there is the inevitable Amer
ican colony of bridge players for whom
life anywhere in the world Is bore
unless it is accompanied by four chairs
placed around a card table.
For Maria, one Of her numerous
sisters-in-law, and for Rafael, the only
worth while brother-in-law in the huge
homestead, Avery develops warm friend
ships. Maria, whose abnormal size is
due to slight physical af1iction that
can be corrected by proper medical at
tention, is compelled by Dona Concep-
cion to make a "promesa" instead. Ra-
fael, who has studied medicine and wants
to 60 as far as possible into the rapidly
advancing field Of medical science,
is thwarted by Dona Concepcion's
emphatic pronouncement that already
he knows enough. Avery wins the
love of both, and through her de-
votion to Maria converts her to the
common sense Of medical treatment.
And to Rafael she gives the full strength
Of her will to force him to defy the
family and go to America.
And then there is Curt Barring,
charming, easy-going American who has
been caught in the same trap that en-
shared Avery. Mutual sympathy and
understanding brings these two together,
and through their problems and their
Establishments and their efforts to
wrest happiness from their rather hope
less plight is unfolded an interesting,
colorful and impressive story of how an
American girl whose quest for romance
results in an unfortunate marriage, faces
her enemies suffers their unkindnesS and
cruelty and triumphs eventually through
sheer determination to protect and
cherish her own against a world more
given to prejudice than to understand
ing and justice.

ACTION IS SOUGHT
ON RIDER REPORT
Conference Findings to Be Called
Up in House by
Kennedy,

House action on the conference re-
port on the red rider" repeal bill
will be sought tomorrow by Chair
man Kennedy of the House Confer
ence Committee
The conference report, calling for
outright repeal OF the rider but stipu-
lating that nothing herein contained
shall be construed as advocating COM
munism," was complete late yester-
day by House and Senate conferees.
Action OF the conferees was re-
garded as compromise. since the
Senate twice voted for outright repeal
Of the rider. while the House adopted
the Mccormack amendment, which
would permit teaching OF the facts
OF communism in the public achools
but forbid its advocacy. The Nc
Cormack amendment also removed the
requirement that teachers sign q
statement each pay day that they had
neither taught nor advocated COM
munism.
Since House rules require a con-
ference report to lay on the table
for at least "a hours, Kennedy said he
would not make any effort to call 1t
up before tomorrow. II that arrange
ment Is satisfactory to House leaders.
II the House adopts the confer
ence report 1t will require similar
action by the Senate, As we'll as the
approval of President Roosevelt, be-
fore the rider "a wipet of the statute

NEW YORK, May l8-The Govern
ment ended its questioning Of Pierre

recess WAS taken before Du Pont was
questioned by his own counsel James
S. Y. WINS. on the cross sales Of
securities following the 1929 Wall
Street panic.
Du Pont had been on the stand only
half an hour when Mason B. Leming,
chief Of Government counsel, turned
to WINS and said:
You may take the witness"
WINS asked for \ brief recess to 20
over the direct examination of Du
Pont by the Government.
In the cross-sales, Du Pont and
Raskob established losses Of more than
100000, which they deducted from
their 1929 income tax The Govern
ment. contending the sales were ncti-
tious and were made with An Illegal

lect deficiency tax of s6l7,3l6 from
Du Pont and $l,026,340 from Raxkob

Ieming, chief counsel for the Blu
reau Of Internal Revenue, turned
again to what he contends was the
balancing of" transaction between
Du Pont and Raskob-the short"
sale by Du Point on January 3, 1890,
Of $1,000 shares OF Warner Bros.
stock at 40, which he covered" later
in the month at SO. Raskob paid
sl,080.000 for the stock, giving Du
Pont his interest bearing note When
he covered, Du Point gave Raskob a
check for 81 100000, Raskob making
a profit Of around s262 900 after in
terest on the note was deducted.
Leming once more asked Du Pont
about the check for $l.350,000 paid
for the $1,000 shares of Warner Bros

Above Market Price.
The covering" was made on jan
uary 80, 1880, and was entered in
Du Points ledger on that date and in
Raskob's on the 9th. The Govern
ment contends the price Of so was
not market price. but was arbi-
trarily fixed and showed the COM
munity of interest between Raskoh
and Du Pont. X ask you again, Mr.
