Justice Holmes died. So did an
other great liberal, Justice Benja-
min Cardozo.
To fill Justice Cardozo's post was
a job confronting Franklin Roose-
welt last week. Since the court al
ready has a liberal majority he
would not find it necessary to con-
slider that factor. Some thought a
westerner should have the job for
reasons of geographical distribution.
Others thought it should 60 to a
Jew or Catholic for religious rea-
sons.
Though no appointment was ex-
pected before congress reconvenes,
pro-Frankfurter sentiment was
growing rapidly in Washington.
First to climb the bandwagon was
Nebraska's Sen. George Norris.
Most observers thought Felix
Frankfurter would make a good adj
dition to the high court.
Army
Last week, as Adolf Hitler pa
raded his manpower before the
world and England's Leslie Hore-
Belisha began "streamlining Great
Britain's army, many an American
wondered about his own national
defense. To their surprise, inves-
tigators learned that U. S. army of
ficials are placing an accent on
youth, are moreover Tightening eff
ficiency strings.
New regulations require periodic
reports on major generals and 1880
officers below that grade. And,
because a score of majors and
brigadier generals reach retirement
age this year, wholesale reshuf-
fling of upper ranks is in progress.
But to Maj. Gen. George Van
Horn Moseley, attending Third
army maneuvers at Camp Bulls,
Texas, officers were only part of
the problem. Said he: "The No.
problem facing the United States
today from a military standpoint is
manpower, which is the worst in
our history. There are five reasons,
in this order: graft, crime, health,
illiteracy and venereal disease"

ers to contribute to campaign chests
of Gov. George A. Earle, running
for the senate, and C.. Alvin Jones,
running for governor.
Section 208 of the U. S. criminal
code forbids solicitation by a fed
eral officeholder of political funds
from any person receiving federal
compensation. Vehemently denying
the charge, Senator Guffey's secre-
tary nevertheless sped word across
the Atlantic to his boss, who is tour
ing Europe.
Q In Wyoming, a quiet primary re-
nominated Gov. Leslie A. Miller,
naming Nels H. Smith as his Re-

only representative, Paul r. Greev-
err, who will face Frank o. Horton,
personal friend of Herbert Hoover.

New Bible Stresses Beauty

Stressing the literary beauty of
the Bible apart from its content, a
new edition has been published in
London. The numerals, italics and
double columns which have char
acterized previous publications have
been dispensed with. Not all the
books of the Bible have been in
cluded, only those believed to have
literary merit. The poetry which
appears in parts of the Proverbs,
for instance, has been printed as
such and not in prose as before.

Crime

In September, 1884, the body of
headless woman was washed ashore
on Cleveland's Lake Erie front door.
The next three and one-haH years
produced nine more headless bod
les, seven of them men, two OF them
women. In each case, clues were
maddeningly absent; always the
same mutilation and cleavage of
bodies, always the papers and boxes
into which the pieces were packed,
always the hopelessness of identi-
fcation.
Last week, rummaging around
lake front dump, police stumbled
on an eleventh victim, headless like
the rest. Four hours of patient ex-
animation brought no clues. A few
hours later crowds swarmed over
the dump, uncovered a twelfth tor
so. Both were women; one may
have been Negro.
AS police continued to seek the
mad butcher of Kingsbury Run"
they knew only that he was a sur
gically skilled maniac who appar-
emily has no other motive except
a fendish desire to dissect human
bodies.

Tooth Troubles Common
Among Eskimo Children

Eskimo children of Eek, COM
munity in the Kuskokwim district
of Alaska, suffer a fairly large
amount of tooth decay. Youthful
Eskimos of Kepnuk, in the same
district, suffer little, says Technol-
ogy Review. Kepnuk's younger gen.
GRAFTON is fed upon the traditional
Eskimo fare-fsh, meat, fat, with
some berries and green's in the sum-
mer-a diet low in carbohydrates.

Give me the money that has

place of worship consecrated to
the gospel of peace.-Charles

International

Last week as neurotic Europe jit-

100000 troops through unprece-
dented maneuvers. In England,
there were signs that Neville Cham
berlain's ''kid glove" policy toward
Germany and England was break
ing down. In Shanghai, Japan made
bold advances on the International
Settlement. (See belo,0).
Into such a troubled world stepped
u. S. Secretary of State Corden Hull
to deplore once again the side OF
lawlessness. A good maker-of-

The rising generation of Eek, how
ever, ekes out this diet.
Eek's greater tooth trouble must
not be attributed to the flour and
sugar alone, for in an orphanage in
the district, Eskimo children who
ate even more flour and sugar had
better teeth than those of Eek. The
children of Eek delight in hard
crackers, known variously as pilot
biscuit, pilot bread, bareback, and it
is to the fact that they eat much
of these that their dental difficulties
must be attributed.

Sports

In New York's Madison Square

Henry Armstrong enter a boxing
ring wearing two crowns, world
featherweight, world welterweight.
In another corner sat Lou Ambers
wearing one crown, world light
weight. For Is rounds they fought
at terrific pace as Henry Armstrong
clearly held the edge. In the
fifth, Ambers dropped under a
crushing right. In the sixth he
dropped again under a fusillade of
rights. But in the thirteenth he
fought Armstrong to a standstill.
At fights end, Henry Armstrong
left the ring wearing three crowns
instead of two, the first man in box
ing history to hold three titles at
one time. But from the audience
came jeers, boos, catcalls, straw
hats, cigar butts and pop bottles.

Business

Last week Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull reported satisfactory prog
ress with his reciprocal trade treaty
program whereby the U. S. be-
comes "most favored nation" with
a host of governments. Then came
a stumbling block, thrown in his
path not by a foreign power but
by Mr.. Hulps next door neighbor,
Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wal
lace.
In all the world there are wheat
SURPRISES of CTS million bushels. Of
this the U. S. has 1926 million, Can
ada $50 million. Easily the biggest
competitors in wheat export bust
ness, North Americas good neigh
bors" have made price-cutting
moves against each other to sell a
major part of the 400 million BUSH
els the world export market needs
this year.
What Secretary Wallace suggest
ed last week was an understand
ing" on wheat export policy with
the Canadian government which has
pegged No. / wheat at minimum
of 81 cents bushel and agreed to
absorb losses connected with export
business. After he reaches an
agreement, Secretary Wallace
hopes to make a similar provision
for U. S. exports, subsidy money to
come from customs receipts.
Determined to dispose of at least
100 million bushels on the export
market this year, Secretary Wallace
might easily disrupt the reciprocal
trade treaty by undertaking ma
tons now operating under agree
ments with Secretary Hull.
