olistic "profiteering" for high prices
and the current business slump.
His address yesterday was even more
direct. Using language similar to
that employed recently by Senator
Norris. independent, of Nebraska, he
told the American Political Science
Association:
rising as they have seen Uncle Sam
told to stick up his hands and deliver
his utilities program. his monopoly
program, his social security program
and his tax program to one or an
other interested group"
Praise and Condemnatioh.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana. leader of the fight against
the Roosevelt court bill last session,
commended this part of the speech.
The tone of the address was depre-
Gated, however, by Senator Van Nuys.
Democrat, of Indiana.
This fight between so-called big
business and the Government is
running small business. which is the
backbone of the country" Senat tor
Van Nuys said. If there are monop-
olies that exist contrary to law, our
present antitrust laws are suflcient
to cope with them"
Senator Adams, Democrat, of COL
orado expressed skepticism over Mr..
Jackson's charge of a strike" by
business.
I don't know where big business
would get If it went on a strike" he
said. Il don't know the purpose, when
the price is so terrific"
Check on Employment.
Mr.. Roosevelt, keeping close
watch on business conditions, was said
by informed persons to be considering
recommendations that the Govern
ment make month-to-month check
on unemployment.
John D. Biggers, director of the
unemployment census, has suggested
such a count. these persons said.
Preliminary results of the census
will be announced in the next few
days. Authorities declared unemploy-
ment has increased considerably since
the count was taken IN mid-Novem-
Der. thus throwing the results out OF
line with current conditions.
Mr.. Biggers conferred yesterday
with Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico a member of a special Senate
committee investigating the unem-
ployment problem.
The committee has called President
William S. Knudsen Of General Mo-
tors to testify January 6. The auto
mobile company has announced II
would lay of 10000 men January l.
Mr.. Knudsen said at Detroit he was
willing to testify, but had asked the
committee to delay his appearance
until January 20.
Later Mr.. Knudsen announced he
would accept the invitation to testify
during the forenoon of January 6.
His decision was made after receipt
Of . telegram from Senator Byrnes,
Democrat, Of South Carolina, COM
mittee chairman. Senator Byrnes
said: while not wishing to incon-
venience you, my committee considers
1t exceedingly important to hear from
you at the opening of our investigation
next week. particularly in view Of re-
ported unemployment in automobile
industry"

LYNCH BILLS
VOTE SOUGHT

A campaign has opened in the
House to force a vote on anti
1ynching legislation over the OBJ
jections of the House organization.
Both Representative Fish (RO
of New York and Representative
Gavagan CD of New York, had
placed petitions to discharge
House committees from considera-
tion of anti-lynching bills. If 218
members sign, either the Fish or
Gavagan bill can be called to the
floor.
Fish put his petition on the
Speakers desk "a hours ahead OF
Gavagan, but the latter insisted
that his is the official petition.
Gavagan said:
"There is no doubt but that
218 members will sign my peti-
tion and anti-Iynching legiSla-
tion will be passed in the House.
A petition was signed up in the
last session but the House
adjourned before there was a
VOTE"
The Gavagan bill would make
lynching a Federal crime and i'm
pose financial responsibility upon
local governments.

PARTY DINERS
AY'PRICE' OF
VICTORY

Showed under by blizzard OF
pros and cons, allegations that the
Supreme Court is due to be
packed" still formed moot ques-
tion today, but there was no ques-
ton of the fact that more than
5000 faithful and perhaps CRATE
full Democrats and neo-DemocratS
last night packed two Washington
hotels to pack away food from
high-priced plates, in part pay
ment of the price of victory.
The big show was staged at the
Mayflower where about 1900 per-
sons dined on capon and basked
in the presence of the party big
wigs. The tariff was 500 per
plate. Many of the banqueters
had placed their 500 checks ION
the line"
Many more, it is understood,
took advantage of the easy pay
ment plan offered by the Demo
cratic National Com m tt e.
Memories of the Victory Dinner"
will probably remain vivid for
some time to come as the $40
1nstallments come due.
Enjoy Second Table
At the Willard Hotel. some
1900 Young Democrats over
flowed from the main ballroom
onto stair avs and into private
dining rooms, to stage a s1mul-
taneous victory feast. The young
sters were shepherded by MIS-
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
BY means of an Illuminated por-
trait of the President and a loud
speaker directly connected with
the dais at the MayfloWer, the
Willard celebrators enjoyed what
were virtually ringside seats Tor
the feature of the evening. ,
Resembling from the element OF
party generosity, many of the
Young Democrats concluded that
at $40 a plate, theirs was the bet-
ter investment. True, their main
dish was chicken, not capon, but
for a differential of $50 they felt
the matter might well be over
looked. Besides, there was dane,
ing in addition to the food and
oratory.
Dictatorship Settled
Introduced by Representative
Maury Maverick Cd of Texas,
Mrs. Roosevelt dismissed fears Of
q United States dictatorship with
the observation that the youth OF
the country would insure the pres,
ervation of democracy.
Frank Wickham, president Of
the Young Democratic Clubs,
made a plea for continuation Of
the zeal of the club members in
matters polite. Other speakers
were Aubrey williams, WPA dep
uty administrator; Senator Mat
thew Neely CD of West Virginia,
and William j. MCGUIRE, chair
man OF the District Young Demo
cratic Clubs. a.

Australian Kings
Battle For Right
To See Coronation

LONDON, March 5 UN.S0.
Several native kings in Australia
are fiercely contesting each others
claims to represent the aborigines
at the coronation of King George
VI, the London Daily Express
said today in a dispatch from
Melbourne.
The paper said one of the mon
archs-known as King George
elderly chief Of vanishing tribe
near Darwin, was annoyed be-
cause he had not received an in
vitation to see the "corroboree"
Of the number one feller King
George"
His Queen Daisy wants to accom-
pany him. Both agree, however,
that a steamer would be too slow,
and they want to fly to London.
His claim, said the Express, is
challenged by King Mariana, of
Bathurst Island, who says he
should go because he has more
pickaninnies than George. But
George retortS that this argument
is unSound because Mariana has
more wives.

THE Association OF Federal Archi-

throughout the month. This is an un-
official showing, but it contains repre-
sentative work in this field done in
the different departments of the Fed
eral Government. Included in the
showing are architectural designs and
renderings, perspectives, water colors,
pen-andink and pencil sketches, etch-
ings, sculpture, models, photographs,

Editorial Ideas Shown
In Newspaper Names

IN A current issues of American
Speech, quarterly magazine pub
lished by Columbia University in
L New York City, appears study
of some length, American Newspaper
Titles" by Cedric Larson, a member
OF the staff OF the Library of Congress.
The study is the first of it's kind
attempted in recent years, and is a
survey OF the names used by American
newspapers published on daily basis.
Many District newspaper names were
used in this study, including refer
ences to The Washington Star.
Larson found that the most popular
Of all newspaper names was News"
which is employed in the mastheads
OF nearly 375 American daily news
papers. BY a curious coincidence, the
initial letters of the points of the COM
pass spell the title. News" and many
people believe that this was the origin
of the term, but it is probably due to
nothing more than chance arrange
ment that this is true
Times" is next in popularity with
the dailies, being used by about 200
papers. journal" and Herald" tie for
third honors, each being used by
about $50 papers. Tribune does sev-
ice ITO times, while Press" and Free
Press" are employed 80 times.
"GTAR" outshines '6un' in popular
ity in the armament of newspaper
titles, the former being utilized by ap-
proximately 80 dailies and the latter
by about so. These titles are deemed
especially fitting by the editorial mind,
from the implication that they shed
light on all mundane affairs. In his
article, Larson quoted part OF the
statutory editorial which was printed in
the first issue Of The Washington
Star on December Is, 1852, wherein
the following comment was made on
the choice Of the name for the Wash
ington paper launched IS years ago.

good or impressive as in preceding
years, which is due in part, it is under
stood, to the high pressure under which
these Government architects have
been working and the lack of available
ity OF finished material for display re-
lating to governmental projects+both
excellent reasons. The purpose of the
exhibition, and the friendly spirit of
competition in which it is put up, make
1t eminently worth while.

At THE formal opening OF the
new international headquarters
OF the, Order of the Eastern Star
in the palatial Belmont residence at
New Hampshire avenue and Eight
zenith street, which the organiza tion
has purchased and completely refur-
nshed, recently completed ceiling
decoration by Eugene De Land Saug-
stad OF this city was seen for the first
time. 1t Is an oval panel 9 by IA
feet In diameter set in a heavy but
appropriate gold frame Five Of the
famous women of the Bible are rep
resented on 1t, in trailing robes and
with wings, partially submerged by
clouds. These are Ruth. Esther, Ada,
Electa and Martha-each a point OF
the star. In the center Of the panel
a rift in the clouds forms a star
shaped opening through which the
sky appears. In every particular the
painting Is symbolical, but its SYM
bolism Is not insistent. Primarily.
the work is decorative, and for its
place and purpose it is extremely
we'll done. The color is excellent and
the scheme admirably handled. The
effect is that Of the ceiling decorations
OF the eighteenth century French
painters who commonly, however, used
more frivolous subjects. Mrs. Saug-
stad has also painted for the Inter-
national Temple" a portrait Of its
founder, which is hung over the
mantel in the hall, and she has had
much to do with the choice and ar
rangement OF furnishings, which are
all consistently in the sumptuous style
OF the house. Mr.. Saugstad's con-
tribution takes the form OF a monu-
mental volume which he has made
with carved wood covers and metal
clasps wherein will be inscribed on
vellum the names of donors and lists
OF gifts. The rehabilitation of this
stately house and its preservation as a
mansion to be much visited and suit
ably used is matter for congra tulation.
