er high French officials saw, in
Hitler's words concerning German
minorities in other lands definite
threat against Czechoslovakia, a
military ally of France, whose Sc
curity the French are bound to de-
fend. There are about 100000 Ger
mans in that country.
From Prague, the Czech capital,
came word that Czechoslovakia
would not even negotiate with Ger
many regarding autonomy for those
Germans and would not yield to CO.
ercion as did Austria. Officials said
that if negotiations are Hitler's aim,
they would be regarded as Sin

Kennedy Now Ambassador

I OSEPH p. KENNEDY took the
- oath as ambassador to Great
Britain in the office of President
Roosevelt and will soon leave for
his new post. He resigned as chair
man and member of the maritime
commission and Mr.. Roosevelt ap-
pointed as new head of that body
Rear Admiral Emory S. Land Of
Colorado, retired chief of the navy's
bureau of construction, who has
been a member of the board since
last April. To fill out Kennedy's
term the President selected Max
O'Rell Truitt of St. Louis, who has
been the commissions counsel.
Mr.. Kennedy apparently lost out
in his squabble with Secretary of
Labor Perkins concerning legisla-
ton to curb labor disorders in the
American merchant marine. Both
of them appealed to the President
but that gentleman did not indicate
his stand on the pending bill which
Kennedy favored and Madame Per-
kins and the c. I. o. opposed.

TIPS to
Gardeners
Grow Better Flowers

GROW better flowers by plant
~ ing them in the kind of soil
in which they can perform best.
Though your soil may be good and
rich, cerain flowers will not do
as we'll in it as in poorer ground.
In rich soil plant zinnia, petunia,
portulaca, snapdragon, stock, he
liotrope, marigold and saliva.
Nasturtium, Notwithstanding,
Joseph's coat, celosia, alyssum,
California poppy, calendula, love-
in-a-mist and hollyhock are sug-
gested by the Ferry Seed Institute
for growth in poor soil.
Heavy soil containing clay is
good for sweet peas, pansies,
stocks, carnations, scabiosas,
snapdragons and most of the pop
ular perennials.
The following prefer a soil of
light texture:
Petunia, Portulaca, celosia, hol-
lyhock, love-in-a-mist, annual
phlox, calliopsis, nicotiana and all
the climbers.
In garden plots that are par
tally shaded grow calendula, bal
sam, mignonette, pansy n d
vinca.

For Price Increases

Roosevelt announced two moves de-
signed to restore prosperity. He
declared the administrations eco
nomic policies are being directed
toward a limited increase in prices,
to be achieved without initiation or
any substantial increase in the cost
of living.
He ordered the Reconstruction FL
nance corporation to renew it's lend
ing to industry and the railways.
The President specifically men
toned farm prices as needing to be
increased. On the other hand, he
said certain other prices, such as
those in the building industry, have
remained at high level for the
last few years.
No specific monetary action is
contemplated to increase those con-
sidered too low, he added.

LaFoIIette Committee
Drafts New Laws

U.N.S0 Experts Of the La

Committee today started drafting
proposed legislation dealing with
the curtailment of civil rights by
huge industrial combines during
labor wars.
The proposed legislation is ex-
pected to be submitted to the next
congress in January.
WOULD BAN SPIES
Committee experts are expected
to recommend laws to ban the use
of labor spies, to curb traffic in
machine guns, tear gas and other
weapons and to seek to tighten
up loopholeS in the anti-strike
breakers transportation law.
Difficulties have been encoun-
tered in framing proposed legis-
lation dealing with spying by regu-
lar company employees and depu-
tizing Of company workers by
local police departments. Another
difficult question, the experts have
found, is curbing through legisla-
tion, the activities Of citizens as
Sociations.
NEW HEARINGS
1t Is possible that a program
may be worked out defining ef-
forts of citizens organizations in
breaking strikes or curbing labor
unions as conspiracy.
The committee is expected to
resume public hearings in Novem-
ber, after which reports dealing
with the investigation Of Little
Steel" and other corporations will
be submitted to the Senate.
The next hearings may deal
with efforts to curb agricultural
and maritime unions on the Pa
cific Coast, and the fight against
extension of agricultural unions
in Texas and other Southwestern
States.
