~ EW YORk.-A new youth move

the oldsters are mumbling in their
boards. New York city Gusts aging
NeU Youth nor Aihen IF ver.
Movement mont clamors for
Stirs World new young blood
in the Republican
party. The also young Governor
Barrows of Maine quickly indorses
this demand for "new faces, ambi-
tions and ideals" And in England
a young Jewish statesman brings a
call for the stretcher-bearers in the
stuffy old army club, as, with youth
full zest, he rocks the foundations
of en'pire-again under the banner
of youth.
When Leslie Hore-Belisha, war
secretary, passed over fifty elderly
generals to up the younger and more
vigorous Viscount Gort to the high
command, he incurred sharp criti-
cism and challenge in parliament
and loosed vast amount of tongue
wagging all through conservative
England.
His army shake-up, in the inter-
est of ''new BLOOD" was the most
drastic of modern times and has be-
come highly personalized around
the dynamic figure of the young war
secretary.
They don't object to his being Jew
ish. They have had too many bril-
liant Readings, Sassoons, Disraelis,
and Samuels in their government to
worry about that. What disturbs
them is the fact that Mr.. Hore-
Belisha is bit of a gate-crasher,
an added starter from scratch with
no powerful alliances or backing.
He was a newspaper man after
he left Oxford with his M. A. degree,

to Crash Indignant septu-
Neys,oners agenarians in the
clubs whisper to
each other, "Nulla dies sine Inca"
mot day without line of pub
icity." This writer has no famil-
iarity with London clubs, but he is
told that a snappy Latin gag line
runs through them like a prairie
fire.
At the age of twenty-eight, Hore-
Belisha was elected to parliament
as Liberal. He was tainted for
his youth and that started him
badgering the graybeards, and he
has been at it ever since. At thirty
one, he gained much kudos by
scheming a way to let the Liberals
into the new national government.
When he was thirty-four, he became
parliamentary secretary to the
board of trade, and, at thirty-five,
financial secretary of the treasury.

politics, and there'll be no stopping
them when once their superior
equipment is demonstrated.
DR.. Marston, while spoofng the
inspirational psychologists, urges all
corners to ''live, love and laugh"
and to "try living" He has made
searching studies on comparative
emotional sensitivity of blondes,
brunettes and red-heads. He invent
ed the sphygmomanometer, or lie
detector, based on blood pressure
variants.
He was a teacher at Radcliffe
college, but romped through law
school, practiced law, stirred in
dash of psychology with the Black
stone and became professor of legal
psychology at the American univer-
sity at Washington. From 1926
to 1929, he was lecturer on psychol-
ogy at Columbia university.
He is likely to bob up any time
with some new provocative idea,
and he never calls his shots.

Mr.. Keck, prolific in heroic design
for nearly forty years, could easily
take all that in his stride. His great
friendship monument at Rio de ia
metro is much more complicated,
memorializing statesmen clasping
hands and flags intertwined.
He is native of New York, for

sculpture, war memorials, all of
