BEGINS ITS WORK
Main Function of Oiffusing
Economic Facts Discussed
by Magnate's Brother.

By the associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-The au-
thoritative voice OF $40 10000 is ready
to speak out and tell Americans the
facts OF economic life.
The voice is that of the Alfred P
Sloan Foundation, brought to life last
December by the chairman Of General
Motors Corp. and already warming to
It's task
80 =" In the hope" said its sponsor
Alfred P. Sloan, jr. "of promoting a
broader as we'll as better understand
ing of the economic principles and
national policies which have chsrac-
terized American enterprise down
through the years"
At first bewildered and then vastly
amused at the public interest in his
work, younger brother Harold S. Sloan,
director of the foundation, explained
objectives, outlined policies.
Foundations Main Purpose.
"Our main function" he said, lis to
diffuse economic facts, from the cradle
to the grave.
I'm a democracy, the citizens are
called upon to make important de-
ciSionS. More and more those de-
cisions have to do with economic life.
To the extent that they are informed,
their decisions are likely to be wise.
1--WE feel that basic economic facts.
which seem abstract and abstruse,
should be made so simple and so
practical that they can be understood" "
Recent Excursion Cited.
He cited the recent li-day excursion
of a group of New York high school
students through the rural South, a
trip financed by the foundation.
Those kids-all city kids-Were
taken to the country and brought face
to face with fundamental facts" he
said. They helped work farm, and
saw where their food comes from.
AS a result, when they came back
to their classroom and took up an
economic question. such as the rela-
tionship between labor and wealth,
they knew what they were talking
about because they had lived it."
Mr.. Sloan. formerly associate pro-
fessor of economics at New Jersey State
Teachers College. discussed other
farther-reaching plans to carry out
his brothers enjonder to advance
'the interests of the community at
large"
Center for Research.
These included the establishment of
national center for research and edu-
cation in consumers problems at
Stephens College, Columbia. Mo. The
income from sl,OOO,0O0 will be devoted
to this enterprise which will stress the
Interpretation of economics from the
standpoint of the consumers, rather
than from that of the producer
Another s1,0O00oO project, already
under way, is the University of
Chicagos weekly round table broad

criminal lawyers has been ap- preached with a view to defending Grynszpan has caused the Nazis press to turn its mud batteries upon the distinguished advocate.
 As things stand, a jury i'll France might find one of four verdicts: CD Murder with sentence to the guillo- tine. @ Lesser degree of crime, with sentence to prison. (3) Insan- ity with confinement in an asylum. (4) Acquittal. Even if convicted of the crime, the boys youth may save him from the extreme penalty.
 There is no indication that the French government will try to bring pressure upon the jurors. Even so, there is no assurance that French jury would meekly obey. The French are highly political people. French juries are apt to look upon some as- sassinations as political deeds and to acquit the accused.
 Two famous cases have not yet been forgotten.
 Jean JaureS, noted orator and leader of the French Socialist party was one of those who, in the stormy days of June and July, 1914, tried to prevent war. But at the same time, he said:
 If our country is menaced, we will be the first at the frontier to defend her."
 Those patriotic words were for gotten. Only his pacifism was re- membered. So on July 31, 1914, on the very eve of French troop mobilization, while sitting in cafe, Jaures was assassinated by a fanatical youth. Five years later that criminal was acquitted. The jury considered it political af- fair.
 General s. Petliura was one of the evil figures who came into prominence during the World War. When CZariStic Russia broke up. Petliura made himself Hetman of the Ukraine. His soldiers out ragged the women, murdered the men, and committed wholesale theft. His particular victims were the Jews. When the BolshevikS drove out all enemy forces, Petliura saved himself by fleeing to Paris. In 1926 he was shot down by a youth who proclaimed himself the avenger for the heinous deeds Petliura had committed in the Ukraine. The jury acquitted the accused.
 The chances are very strong that Moro Giafferi, if he appears for Grynszpan, will recall that in 1883, as soon as the Nazis came into power, they honored the memories of those implicated in two assassin ations. Matthias Erzberger, famous German Catholic statesman, who had been Vice Premier of the Ger man republic was shot down in August, 1921. The Nazis honored his murderers, because they hated Erz- berger for agreeing to the armistice.

 Equalling the dramatic intensity of this powerful theme is the brave romance of boy and girl who find great love through the peril which they are forced to share. And pre- view audiences have hailed Nancy Kelly in the role of this girl who wouldn't stay at home. as something more than slightly sensational! With her in the male lead is handsome Richard Greene, one of the fastest rising young stars of the day. Head- ing stellar supporting cast are Preston Foster, George Bancroft, J.

IREARMAMENT IS
 | TO BE ADVANCED
Very Little increase in l04O Budget; Taxes Will
 Be Last Resort
BY GRATT1N McGRoARTY

Washington, December 2. = CUP) = President Roosevelt intends to put his rearmament program into effect without any considerable in- crease in the 1940 fiscal year budget, it was stated authoritatively today. A high administration official, closely connected with budgetary matters, said next years federal budget would not greatly exceed this years despite large increase in national defense expenditures.
 President Roosevelt said his re- armament program would be put on a pay-as-you-go basis with no in- crease in taxes presently contem- plated. New taxes, it was said, may be avoided by reduction in other items, particularly relief.
 Official sources emphasized that additional taxes would be sought only as last resort. MT. Roosevelt said he was determined that arms shall not increase the national debt which will reach the record total of approximately $39,000, ,000,00 at the end of this fiscal year.
 MT. Roosevelt said details of the naval and military budgets which he will submit to congress on Jan uary 3 have not yet been worked out in detail. He said, however, that he would keep defense costs divorced from both emergency re- lief expenditures and the Self-liqui- dating, pump-priming projects of PWA.
 The exact amount to be recom- mended to Congress for defense purposes next year has not been determined but indications pointed to expenditures well above $1,000,- OOO, GOO for a postwar record.
 Budget Expenditures
 Budget expenditures and the amount for national defense this and the two previous fiscal years were estimated as: 1899, total ex- penditures, $7,070,558,0oo, defense $988, ,623, 400; 1888, total, $7,614,853,- ; 300, defense $933, ,776, 100; 1887. total $8, ,105 ,158,347; defense $844, ,O56, ,155
 National defense expenditures fol the fiscal year beginning next July 1 probably will greatly exceed, ane perhaps double, those of last year According to present plans Presi- dent Roosevelt was said to have de. cided to reduce other expenditure. in order to keep the budget iron exceeding the $7,OOo,Ooo,ooO figure It was understood that much of thi! reduction would result from smaller outlays on relief projects.
 The program is expected to be SC Iintegrated that the slump in em' ployment resulting from decreased WPA and PWA expenditures vii be more than taken up by increased industrial activities in businesses benefitting from the expanded na' tional defense.
 The 1940 defense program, mos extensive in the peace time history of the country, is expected to tota between $1 ,5O0, 100000 and $2,OOO,' 900 900. President Roosevelt's recen declaration of a continental soli' darity and mutual defense plan i partly responsible for the proposes increase.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics. ... get kick out of the growing" which of all people the bus companies the last to complain It's about time the city clamped down on them. In spite of the fact that they have practically all of Exchange Place and dozens of Dus stops sectoned off all the city, how often do you bus pull all the way into the curb to utilize that space? Summer winter you these busSes stopping right in the middle of traffic to take and discharge passengers Or they just pull in far enough so that following them can't pass and ease up traffic jams Whether they are taking on one passenger or dozen all the way to the curb well how about when there is snow and ice covering the bus steps, it is impossible for them to pull all the way & you may say sa Ana t naHs s folk' have been given half the town to use TOT DuS stops why not compel their gangs to clear every bus stop" of snow and ice? Isn't that logical? Then, if passenger cars park in them let the police tag them They tag them anyway think that if the police traffic survey men will consider this they will find an answer to the tremendous problem which is thrust the traffic policemen during the so-called rush hours Let them make those busses pull into the curb for every or discharge during the rush periods that regular traffic can get by This probably won't fit we'll with the busses because they won't be able to maintain their schedules" To which must ask, What schedues?"

 Sabu, the small Indian sensation of Elephant Boy" fame, Raymond Massey, Roger Livesey, Desmond Tester and Valerie Hobson are seen in the featured roles of this film which proved to be one of the most exciting in the memory of a large majority of the first night audience. It is also one of the most magni- ficent, with its thrilling scenes ac- | tually photographed in India's trea- cherous Khyber Pass.
 Sabu is even more charming than in Elephant Boy" as the little In- dian prince of A. E. w. Mason's story, whose bravery and loyalty save whole regiment from slaugh- | ter at the hands of a power-maid Indian potentate. E
 Captain Carruthers, fearless British officer, (Rogers Livesey), is sent to India to quell the uprisings being formented by the fanatical Prince Ghul (Raymond Massey who dreams of snatching the throne of his brother, the Khan of Tokot uniting the various hill tribes and eventually driving the British out of his ever-broadening domain.

STRAND

A grand twin feature program
 awaits the theater-going public at the Warner Bros. Strand theater this afternoon for headlining the new bill to be enjoyed today until Friday evening is the magnificent production ''If I Were King" star ring Ronald Colman with an all-star cast.
 The picture is a brilliant inter pretation of one of the most glamor- ous characters ever to strut across the pages of history, Francois Villon, the roguish poet of the Paris under world who became the ruler of France for one glorious week, ely to be sent into exile because he dared to love royal princess.
 Villon. vagabond, poet, lover and statesman, is portrayed satisfactorily on the screen for the first time, and credit must go to Ronald Colman, all of whose previous successes are topped by this splendid characteri- zation. He is Swashbuckling as the vagabond, overflowing as the poet, do UAAC oOoSSoAAAeAAA anu sistible as the ruff1an who teaches a royal princess how to love. Lovely Frances Dee is the lady-in- waiting, whose kisses inspire Villon to save France.
 Second only to Colman's perform ance is the honor which must be given to the supporting cast. Basil Rathbone's interpretation of the crafty and eccentric Louis XI makes that strange monarch one of the livest characters ever to step out of history and onto the screen. The parts of Ellen Drew, c. V. France, Henry Wilcoxon and Ralph Forbes also seem to have been made to order.

French Not Sure To Convict .Nazi Diplomats Assassin
France Has
 A Record Of Tolerance For Political Crimes
BY MILTON BRONNER 'EA Service Staff Correspondent

Paris, Dec. l? The chances are good that the French government fears Herschel Grynszpan's future trial for the murder of Ernst vom Rath, German diplomat, more than the 17-year old Polish Jewish de- fendant himself.
 The fact that .vom Rath was at tached to the German embassy in Paris, that the murder took place inside the embassy and that the Nad regime is demanding Gryn- szpan's head creates a delicate and dangerous situation.
 The Nazi press and Nazi speak CTS, not content with making 500,- GOO German Jews the victims of their wrath over the murder, are saying that nothing less than the death penalty for the boy will sat- isfy them. The mere fact that Moro Giafferi, most famous of Parisian
