WILL DEATH MEAN END?

People want to know whether they must continue to live with dictator ships only through the life of one man, or will the breed carry on.
 Now comes an example of dic- tator being peacefully replaced with prospects that his program will continue.
 True, there are vast differences in the nature of the dictatorships, as seen by observers here. Renal Ataturk nevertheless was a dicta- tor in his own sphere. He used the iron hand where necessary. A large difference between his situa- ton and that of other dictators is that the type of reforms he was called upon to make met the ap- proval of the outside world almost immediately
 He divorced the state from the Mohammedan church. He installed the English-type alphabet to re- place wiggle-worm arabic charac- ters so difficult to teach. He started public schools, popularized western dress to replace fez and oriental drapery tmaybe that was an irn- provemenD, removed and abolished harems.

MOVE TO DRAFT
PEACE PLAN
Committee Called
After Letter
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT

PITTSBURGH, Nov. IA G.N.S).
A special meeting of the CIO
committee named a year ago to
conduct peace negotiations with
the American Federation of Labor,
was called by CIO chiefs late
this afternoon, almost immedi-
ately after letter from President
Roosevelt calling for labor unity
was read to the CIO convention.
Philip Murray, chairman of the
CIO-Affuiated Steel Workers Or
ganizing Committee and vice
chairman of the CIO, heads the
committee, and he made a brief
statement concerning the sud-
denly-called meeting. He said:
The meeting is called for the
purpose of reviewing the negotia-
tionS perhaps to prepare a reso-
luton suitable for submitting
to the convention. It is the
first meeting we've had in some
time"
GROUP INACTIVE
The committee spent several
months in a series of conferences
with Similarly-constituted AFL
group, but these negotiations COL
lapSed last winter. Since that
time the committee has been com.
paratiVly inactive.

CHERRY TREES
FIGHT ENLISTS
CONGRESS AID
Protests Grow as
Deadline Nears

The wave Of protest over the
projected slaughter of S2S OF
Washington's famed cherry trees
to make way for a marble monu
ment to Thomas Jefferson swept
over Washington today with an
intensity unparalleled in civic re
sentiment.
Sixteen citizens associations
and four business groups scheduled
meetings for this week, as mem
bers of Congress, clergymen, Gov
eminent officials and individual
citizens were reused.
BLow to Trade Seen
The fever of resentment had
two baseS-one, a purely aesthetic
spirit over the destruction of
beauty spot, and the other, a pre-
diction that Washington's tourist
trade would suffer acutely.
At q meeting late today the
hotel men passed the following
resolution:
"The Hotel Association Of
Washington, D. c., unanimously
protests any change in the loca-
ton of the proposed Jefferson
Memorial from that location
designated when the bill was
passed by Congress.
"It is our understanding that
the bill passed by Congress
designated a location which did
not embrace any change in the
contour of the Tidal Basin, nor
the road around it, and changed
only 27 cherry trees; whereas,
In this proposed change, the
present road, the contour OF the
basin and removal of several
hundred trees is contemplated.
Demand Adherence
ITO this we strongly register
our protest, and demand the ad-
herence by the Fine Arts Com
mission to the plan and loca-
ton originally designated when
the bill was passed by Congress.
IF the present plan is adhered
to for a period of years the
cherry blossoms will cease to be
the national attraction to Wash
ington that they now represent
and may, as result, never again
regain the national interest
which they now have.
I'VE are sure that our views
are not only shared by the citi-
Eens of Washington and nearby
cities and States, but with them
there is a full concurrence. ThlS
was demonstrated by the spon'
taneous objections registered by
neighboring cities and States
and also hotel associations when
the jefferson Memorial location
was discussed before the Lii
brary Committee of the House OF
Representatives"
