The need for statesmanship 1T business is great, MT. Cohn said, be- cause i've face the grim reality that we have not yet produced a sus- tained recovery"
 Viewing the conflict between bus mess and government as neither ad- vancing the cause of a liberal de- mocracy nor arguing for an endur- ing stability and prosperity, the president of the association of $500 department, dry goods and speciality stores, urged that it is most im- portant that, by notable accom- plishments in our own field of &C., tivity, we light the way and strive to find a golden mean between con- flicting extremes.
 MT. Cohn'S message to the N. R. D. G. A. membership was his first since his election to the presi- dency last month. It was contained in the new issue of The Bulletin of the association distributed to mem bers today. The message is of inn portance to retailers in revealing the general objectives of the new president.
 Business Must Be Non Partisan
 In his appeal for business states manship, the association president warned that history demonstrates that whatever leadership re- lirquishes, government takes on, supplanting the role of the citizens upon whose efforts depend the per- petuation of our tested form of American life". For the association, he urged that a non-partisan atti- tude in political events he main- tained as policy of the member ship.
 We all have individual convic- tions about the trends that politi- cal events should take," MT. Cohn declared. But, as an organization representing the broad currents Of trade and as representatives of large and small retail interests, who should maintain 8 non-partisan attitude. We should be statesmen; we must not be politicians. The former look to the next generation; the latter look usually to the next election" !"
 At the same time retailers must seek the truth regarding the effects and implications - both social and economic - of proposed laws or reg lation, whether federal, state or municipal, according to MT. Cohn.
 Consumer Rights at Stake
 Where we believe that our rights or the rights of the consumer are at stake, we must speak out cour- agoously and attempt to steer the course of legislation by earnest pres entation of carefully ascertained and accurately weighed fcts. The man who straddles long enough falls to the ground"
 Of the retailers attitude toward government in business, the N.R.D.G.A. president said: "For the declared purpose of protecting the public, government has created an ever-growing system of supervis- ion and regulation. We must weigh the effects of any further expan- sion of the powers already vested in such governmental agencies or the creation of new agencies and meet the issue by adopting sound and equitable methods of correcting and refining the machinery of distri- bution."
 Retailers must also assume their rightful position in social and eco- homie activities whenever they can

POLI'S

Via the genuis of David O. Selz- nick and the magic of technicolor, Mark Twain's famous characters steps from the pages of his lm- mortal story and on to the Loew Poli screen, Saturday, where MT Selznick's inspired technicolor pro- duction, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" will have its first show ing.
 Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Joe Harper, Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly, Injun Joe, Muff Potter and all the rest come to vivid life again in the little Missouri town along the Mississippi, which is where Tom and his friends achieved immortal ity.
 David O. Selznick, who has scored outstanding successes with the filming of such classics of Little Lord Fauntleroy" and the later smash hits, "A Star is Born" and "The Prisoner of zenda," has surpassed even elis own great rec ord with "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" It is triumph of mar velous entertainment and one of the finest things that has ever been done. In black and white it would be a great picture. In tech- nicolor it is superb. The subject is one that lends itself to color and some of the shots are talk ingly magnificent, especially those where Tom and Becky are lost in the cave. It is said to be the first time a cavern with it's stalactites and stalagmites has been shown in natural color. Moreover, the pie torial effects of the quaint settings of the small town and the back ground of the Mississippi against which the colorful and interesting

 HollyWood-All over the lot: Nor ma Shearer is demonstrating an un- suspected misunderstanding. When she cuts loose, the rafters quiver, and so do the nerves of people on the set The stark horror in her scream might almost freeze the molten carbon in the arc lights.
 Miss Shearer and Robert Mor- ley as Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI, are in dingy cell of the Prison of La Force. Antoinette's good friend, the Princess de Lam balle Anita Louise) had been i'm prisoned with them, but she is mis- sing now. There is a great outcry phlegmatic Louis peers out between the bars. Do not look," he says. Tt is only the guard"
 But Antoinette does look-and screams. For what she sees in the street is gristly object which mem- bers of the mob are carrying on a pike. The object is the head of the princess.
 A New Star
 Even at this stage of the produc- ton, Morley seems assured of subse- quent stardom-if he wants it. He's a successful English stage actor and playwright, and Broadway will see him next autumn in the title role of oscar Wilde" which he cre- ated in London. So Morley isn't acknowledging any screen plans just now, and his Metro contract expires in June.
 Morley is large man who looks much like Charles Laughton. He has the same deceptively soft look about him, and the same soft, measured delivery of lines. It was for the most important male role in Marie Antoinette,' part originally intended for Laughton, that he came all the way from London at his own expense for a screen teSt.' He not only got the job but also got the role of Gamin for his round friend and play producer, Peter Bull.
 A soldiers son and college graduate, Morley tried selling vacuum cleaners before he went into the theater so successfully. He regards his career very seri- ously now: indeed, he has no other interests. He isn't married, has no hobbies, and abhors exer- else.

hard-living President sent from his
S1ckbed a message to the National
Assembly announcing big Turkish
naval reorganization program.
Rebuilt Declining Turkey.
Kamal Ataturk rebuilt in a few
months a Turkey which had been
steadily declining for nearly $50
years. He revivitied it, Westernized
it, modernized it-made it important
in world politics as one of the lead
Ing smaller powers, a key country
connecting Middle Europe and the
Near East.
His methods were ruthless, unique,
dictatorial. First and only President
OF the republic he founded in 1923,
he was nominally an elected execu-
tive, but actually, with the electing
assembly composed of hand picked
delegates, he was a dictator.
Ataturk ended the age-old unity
OF church and state, banned polyg-
amy, freeing women from the harem,
substituted Western dress for the
flowing, all-covering garb of the
Near East, established the family as
social unit, abolished the caliphate
and the sultanate, reduced litter
acy-created, in short, the personal
dream state" he had envisioned
years before as a radical, social
minded youth.
Attended Military Schools.
He was born in 1880 or 188l-ref-
erences are not conclusive-in Sa-
lonika, then capital of the Turkish
vllayet of Salonika and now chief
port of Greek Macedonia. He at
tended military academies at Sa-
Ionlka and Monastir and the mill
tary college at Constantinople.
After winning promotions in the
1talian-Turkish War of 1911 and the
second Balkan War, he was a colonel
when Turkey entered the World
War on the side of Germany, whose
leaders rated him one of the ablest
Turkish officers. He was commander
OF sector of the Gallipoli Peninsula
which successfully resisted attacks
of the allies in 1915.
After the war he rose fast. The
allies were further reducing the
erstWhile Ottoman Empire. The
Greeks landed an army in Smyrna
and took control of it and the sur
rounding area and the Turkish peo-
pie seethed with indignation.
Meanwhile Ataturk had been sent
by Sultan Mohammed vi to demo-

bilize troops in Anatolia. Instead of
demobilizing them he used them as
a nucleus for a nationalist army,
waging, as an outlaw, three years Of
guerrilla warfare. In 1921 the
Greeks invaded Anatolia, and after
desperate fighting the Turks won,
re-entering Smyrna on September
9, 1922.
Ataturk then abolished the dual
government of Turkey and deposed
the Sultan, although he named the
rulers heir. Abdul Mejid, as Caliph,
or head of the Islamic faith. On
November 20 there was a peace con-
ference with the allies at Lausanne,
Switzerland, which resulted in q
fixing of the boundaries of present.
day Turkey.
On October 20, 1923, the National
Assembly proclaimed Turkey a re-
public and unanimously elected
Ataturk it's first President. He i'm
mediately began his long projected
task of undermining Turkeys 49,
600 900 Inhabitants. On March 3,
1924, he abolished the Caliphate,
ending a dynasty 600 years old, and
had Turkey well on the way out of
decline which had begun in 1880,

cent unsuccessfully stormed the
gates of Vienna in an attempt to

Streets Are Thronged.
The streets of Istanbul were
thrOnged with saddened Turks
mourning the man who gave them
a new national consciousness.
All public functions and cere-
monies were Cancelled. Thousands
of flags flew at halfstaff and hun
dreds of mosques were besieged by
crowds of weeping worshippers.
Ataturk's body will lie in state
in the beautiful white dolma
Bagtche Palace, where he died. and
then will be taken by Premier
Djelal Bayar to Ankara, the capi-
tai, for burial in an imposing
mausoleum the government will
erect to perpetuate his memory.
Bayar, who was at the Presidents
bedside throughout last night and
was with him when he died, met
with political leaders to decide on a
date for the funeral.
ACCldlmeO Dy All OrOupS.
Most Turkish leaders, whether
approving of Ataturk's dictatorial
methods or not, joined with the ma
joritY in acclaiming him for bring
ing Turkey into world politics as one
OF the most important of the smaller
powers and making her key coun-
try connecting middle Europe and
the Near East.
Ataturk's supporters want to con-
tinue unabated the march back from
the low point of Turkish national
vitality after defeat in the World
War. Official quarters indicated
that there would be no change in
Turkeys foreign policy.
Ataturk was generally believed to
be pro-British, and both the British
and German foreign Offices have
been known to have keen interest in
the choice of his successor, whose
policies might influence strongly
the European political balance.
Field Marshal Fevni Pehakaj, chief
of the general staff, also was con-
sidered possible successor of Alta
turk.
Also mentioned for the presidency
was the Turkish Ambassador to
London, Fethi Okyar, who was an
old friend of Ataturk and frequently
visited him in the last few days.
