THUGS ATTACK
ON Fits LAID
TO REVENGE

LOS ANGELES, March 8 (I.N.SO
Waylaid and shot on a lonely road
on the city's outskirts, Buron Fits,
Los Angeles district attorney and
former lieutenant governor Of Cali
fornia, was reported in no danger
today. ,
One of several men in a parked
automobile fired at the prosecutor
as he drove alone in his car, the
bullet piercing Fits left forearm.
The assailants fled as Fits,
greatly weakened by loss of blood,
staggered to the nearby home of
his parents, whom he had intended
to visit.
Vengeance Suspected
Except to lean to a probability
Of underworld vengeance, authori-
ties were unable to ascribe a def
mite motive for the attack, which
occurred last night.
According to statement made
to International News Service to-
day by William E. Simpson, chief
deputy district attorney, Fits resi-
dence has been guarded since he
received several threats due to his
activities in the Douglas Aircraft
plant strike.
Simpson pointed out, however,
that this action was purely precau-
tionary, and that there was no
evidence to indicate that the at
tempt on Fits life was in any
way connected with the labor dis
pute.
Fits, his associates pointed out,
has been a relentless foe of gam
bling and vice, and he has been
threatened on several occasions pre-
viouSly.
Operation Performed
Fits was taken to Good Samari-
tan Hospital here after he had
received emergency treatment at
Monrovia Hospital.
Shortly before midnight an
operation was performed to cleanse
the wound. Attending physicians
said his recovery should be rapid,
provided no complications develop.
The bullet did not break the bone.
Fits left a family gathering at
his home to pay a brief visit to his
parents, who live only a short dis
tance away, when the attack oc-
Cured shortly after $3.50 o'clock.
The prosecutor said he was driv-
ing at a moderate rate of speed
when he became aware of black
sedan, occupied by several men" !"
alongside. Fits said he did not
recognize any Of the men.

Ocience turns hmmbS-dOwm on
- old:tashiOned methods of clean
ing teeth!
It demands a smoother, more
thorough action in tooth powders
and finds it!
Now IRIUM-the amazing new den
tai discovery-b brings the modern way
to remove dull, dingy film, make teeth
sparkle, keep mouth clean and fresh.
Pepsodent alone of tooth powders
contains this totally new kind of foam
ing ingredient that SofenS glue-like
film and floats it away like magic!
The Washington times., 1937-03-08

So effective is IRIUM that a good
brushing with Pepsodent Powder
leaves enamel cleaner and more
radiant than you have ever before
experienced. Unlike soap in many
dentifrices, RIUM does not combine
with saliva in your mouth to form
new deposits of film and tartar.
That's why teeth look brighter, feel
clean so much longer after using
Pepsodent Powder containing RIUM.
Yet Pepsodent Powder is SAFE. be-
cause it contains NO GRIT. NO PUMIcE.
So refreshing is Pepsodent containing
IRIUM that wholesome tingle rejuve.

his step. Any positive move In the wrong direc-
ton might have cost him the November victory.
TINE last idea of the President for keeping
the United States out of war IS the re-
laxing Of the tension with Japan on
u account of the Philippines
The Filipinos have been granted their inde-
pendence; for another eight years this country
is responsible however, for the maintenance Of
the Islands independence.
Because Of this obligation there are many who
advocate the fertilization Of Manila, the estab-
lishment Of stronger naval bases, the fortiflca-
tion Of Guam, in short, q policy Of prepared
ness against any possible attack on the Com
monwealth.
In accordance with article 10 Of the Wash
ington naval treaty. the United States, Great
Britain and Japan cannot fortify their posses
sions in the Eastern Pacific during the dura-
tion Of that agreement.
The Washington naval treaty has now ex-
pired and each of its signatories has acquired
once more a complete freedom of action.
Article 19 is obsolete and the United States
IS free to begin Immediately work on the forth
ficaton of its Far Eastern naval bases. The
Japanese have not waited so long. Their man
dated islands have been fortified and prepared
as submarine and air bases since 1880. Con-
sequently. there can be no legal reason why this
country should not do the same. Such work
would involve q tremendous expenditure and
increased tension with Japan

confagration must run. not walk. And IL the
practical idealism of the President Is going to
be defeated. the fault will Rot be his.
In France. the Exchanging governments
have never been outspoken in their desire to
consolidate the peace Of Europe by sacrificing
the advantages the French and their allies OBJ
tained from the Versailles treaty. It was only
after the treaty had been thrown into discard
violently by Hitler that Frances new premier,
Leon Blum, came to the conclusion that the
French and their acolytes might just as well
forget that such q peace instrument was ever
signed.
The British, playing their old game of bal
ance Of power" have not been Of much as
sistance to the peace cause, either. Verbally,
they have always been on our side to promote
lofty peace ideals. In fact, however they have
been pulling concealed wires, playing the
French against the Italians and the Germans
against the French.
In this country. the idea of isolation. of no
entanglements has frequently been misunder-
stood. So were sometimes the intentions Of
the administration. The President Is an iso-
lationist in the event of another world con-
fiagration. But he sees no harm in working
together with the other nations, when there is
chance-even q remote one-to prevent an
other world war. But. taking into considera-
ton the general reaction to anything which
might even smell OF immixture in the entangled
European problems, he was compelled, until
after his re e-election for second term, to watch

ME Philippine independence bill provides
that the President should avail himself
of any early opportunity to discuss with
the other interested foreign powers the


question Of naturalization OF the Philippine
Islands.
Whatever the unavowed intentions Of the
Japanese government and general stan may be,
for the time being Toxic has signifed its inten-
tion to discuss with this country and with Great
Britain q neutrality agreement. The japanese
diplomats profess . keen desire to guarantee
the independence Of the newly created inde-
pendent state.
There is . good deal Of opposition In high
quarters against such an agreement, because
we have learned in the last few years to know
that the japanese do not carry out agreements
and treaties their governments have signed.
But in this particular case. when We have 10
choose between two evils-either we render our
relations with Toxic impossible by q frank
policy of increasing our military and naval
stations in the Far East or we accept the Jap
anese pledges for whatever they are worth
the President is reported to be in favor Of the
latter
Active preparations for the defense OF the
Philippines are considered by many of the Pres
ident's advisers as courting trouble with Japan.
And there is no doubt that Mr.. Roosevelt has
no intention to contribute toward an increased
tension with any foreign country.
Whether the Presidents ideas for a reorgan-
tzation of the world peace will materialize or
not, there is NO doubt that his new term will
be marked by an increased effort to lessen the
existing strain.
His lavish expenditure on the United States
naval, air and land forces have no other object
but to enable this country to maintain its neu-
trality and enable its President to talk with
the authority of man who has strength behind
him in the event warlike developments are
precipitated by those who do not want to wait
for his peace efforts.
Henry Ford's peace ship in 1916 was the
object of derision of every fighting nation in
Europe. President Roosevelts men-of-war
might contribute toward the cause OF peace
should war break out in Europe because Mr..
Roosevelt's peace plans have failed to ma
terialize

The cost Of the new fortiications are esti-
mated conservatively at between 800 and 400
million dollars. Furthermore. experts say that
once the fortifcations are ready, we shall need
an additional number Of men-of-war to take
care of those fortihcations And the price of
q battleship is $40,000000; q cruiser costs
about $15,000,000. The units We possess now
are excellent, but we have not enough of them
to take care of the defense of our own territory
and the Philippines at the same time. Hence.
in the event that the Philippines are fortified,
the Navy must be increased at another expense
Of at least $500,000, 900.
1t is no gamble to say that the day we begin
work on those fortifications-and this cannot
be kept secret-there Is bound to be some
sort of retaliation from Japan. Toxic will con-
slider 1t as . challenge to the empire.
The only reason why we may want to f0rtify
the islands, which are being placed under Uncle
Sans wing for another eight years. = b

States toward the Philippines are ended

money contributed so heavily to his

some weeks ago Of the shakespearian

this seems as direct and public .

whose previous public utterances con-

contended that he had served notice
upon Mr.. Roosevelt that their alliance

them on opposite sides.
All these SllrmiseS are very wide OF

and obvious. It is perfectly clear that
