"Mr. SOandSO"
Is Identified as SherOver

Sherover himself, who avoids
could not be reached
here today for comment, but it
is not the first time his activities
have been aired in the newspapers.
INQUIRY ASKED
In April of last year Senator
Clark, of Missouri, informed the
Senate that Sherover and his
agency, now located at 1856 Broad
way, had purchased 20 high-pow-
cred airplanes and 400 heavy duty
trucks for shipment to France,
and asked for a State Depart
ment investigation to determine
whether they were intended for
Spain.
Last November it was learned
that a million dollars worth of
American-built planes were ship
ped with great secrecy to an un-
named European destination on
direct cash order by Sherover to
the Bellanca plant at Newcastle.

Ford Talk Aimed at LewiS,
Not Roosevelt, Capital Hears

Although the Fords have been
against the Administration,
neither of them has made any de-
rogatory references to the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Ford was as strong for
Landon as he was for prohibition.
He predicted Landon would be
elected, predicted prohibition
would not be repealed, and said
that If the Eighteenth amend
ment should be repealed, he would
stop making cars.
Incidentally, it is recalled he has
made shorter speech than his
New York two-Sentence statement.
1t was in Washington in the Be-
lasco Theater when his Peace Shin
was preparing to sail to Europe
and stop the war. A mass meeting
was held at the BelaSco and Mr.
Ford was there. Asked to take the
platform and address the crowd
he said:

BY EARL GOODWIN

Henry Ford meant John Lewis,
chairman of the CLIO and not
President Roosevelt when he said,
the people have a leader who is
putting something over on them"
He had the labor leader in mind
also when he made his famous
twosentence after-dinner speech
to the Bureau of Advertising of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association Thursday night of last
week.
UNDERSTOOD" HERE
This is the understanding now
OF WashingtonianS who have ap-
parently checked on Mr.. Ford's
statements and especially the con-
versation between the Detroit mo-
tor magnate and the President.
1t is the statement which is going
the rounds rapidly, in spite Of the
fact that one newspaper reporter
asked Mr.. Ford whether he meant
"a labor leader or the President"
when he spoke at his press confer.
ence following the White House
luncheon. Mr.. Ford did not an
Swer, but it was taken by some of
the Presidents associates as mean
ing Mr.. Lewis for various reasons:
One, that Henry Ford has a
fixed idea that John Lewis is a
great danger to industry. Mr..
Ford's life work outside of making
Ford cars now Is said to be winning
his cases against the National
Labor Relations Board and keep
ing John Lewis union out Of his
plants. He believes that if the
CLIO gets much more of a toehold
in industrial plants, industry will
have to quit in many instances.
WORD CHOICE CITED
It is pointed out also by those
who claim to know what went on
at the luncheon and who have
more or less knowledge of Mr..
Ford's mental processes, that Mr..
Ford would not use language about
the President such as the rathe.
slurring words he used in his
cryptic utterances, whereas his
antipathy to John Lewis would
offer no restraint in the Ford
language whatsoever.
1--WE are all on a spot" he
said at the dinner in New York.
"Stick to your guns and I'll help
you all I can with the assistance
of my son."
The livest problem the Fords
have is the fight against the
United Automobile Workers of
America, the CLIO union. Union
leaders have declared Ford next"
Administration leaders, it is gradu-
ally being learned, never did un-
derStand Mr.. Ford was referring
to the President or to any condi-
tionS ether than labor conditions
which have caused the FordS more
SleepleSs nights than almost any
thing else.

.HEALY ASSAILS
WAR ALARMISTS

ASsailing "alarmist views" of
the prospects for another wor.
war which have prompted record
peace-time armament spending in
this country were assailed last
night by DR.. Thomas H. Healy
dean of the Georgetown University
School of Foreign Service.
Speaking at the annual ban
quet of the Bethesda Chamber of
Commerce in the Kenwood Golf
and Country Club, DR.. Healy de-
clared there is little justification
in fact or logic" for these predic-
tionS.
A general war, he said, is EEK
tremely remote unless we are fool
iSh enough to go out of our way
to start one in an attempt to po-
lice the world or to protect in
significant American interests
which in reality are not even
menaced"

Questioned Delegation

NEWSMEN buttonholed the
IN delegation as it came out,
asked the facts Of the visit.
The delegates did not care to
say anything themselves, re-
ferred everyone to Mr.. SoandSo
who was their spokesman (the
name was spoken so quickly the
newsmen did not catch it,.
But they caught Mr.. Soandso
and he had all the information
ready on his tongue tip. He
spoke of democracy bleeding its
last drop of blood in Spain, the
manifest unfairneSs Of not sell
ing arms to anyone who wants
to kill a Fascist, etc, etc.
"And who are you?" asked
the news-men when he was
through.
"Oh just leave me out Of it,"
said Mr.. Soandso with a
modesty which is rare if not
unbecoming among delegations
to Washington. "Just forget me
entirely"
Suspicious news-men and Of
ficialS started checking and
escertained that the press
spokesman for these American
citizens in their petition to their
government was an accredited
agent of the Loyalist govern
ment. At least he was when he
last came into the State Depart
ment, September IS, to deliver
an official letter from the then
Loyalist premier offering to set
tie $50, O0O, 900 of private Amer
lean debt claims against the
I.oyalist government so he could
obtain more credit to buy more
arms.
The State Department also

the Lenin (not the jefferson
tan) school Of democracy, the
symbol of which is the Sledge-
hammer.
Nor was the department any,
thing more than annoyed at the
success Of the LoyalistS in
spreading planted material in
the American press, building up
the idea that Democracy is on
trial in Spain and now is the
time for all good Democrats to
come to the aid of European
left wingers against the Fascists.
But when a delegation of
prominent churchmen, labor
leaders and professional bust
ness men and women walked
into the State Department a few
days back and wanted the
arms embargo lifted, the Hull
corps of diplomats began to take
notice.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-05-03

has him listed as the president
of a New York sales corporation
which it recognizes as the pur.
chasing agent for the demo-
crats-in.whiSkers in Spain.
Check Foreign Agents
DROBABLY nothing will be
Il done about it officially.
American citizens have the right
to advocate American action re-
garding foreign causes, with or
without a foreign agent as
spokesman.
But from now on, incoming
delegations may be required to
check foreign agents at the door
Of all Government departments.
NOTE-Sharp outside pres
IN sure has been exerted upon
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee to open the neutrality
question up for hearings. 1t may
be done shortly, despite previous
refuSalS. However, Congress is
apparently not much excited
about the issue. Arecent private
check in the Senate indicated a
possible maximum of 80 votes
in favor of revising the law.
One Presidential Record
IT IS now evident to congress
= sional financial students that
Mr.. Roosevelt is likely to make
one unprecedented record in
Government which will never be
equaled again (they hope)-
eight years in office without
balancing O. budget.
Congress now is appropriating
for the fiscal year 1899 on a
scale which will result in a
deficit variouSly estimated from
three billion dollars up, prob
ably much higher up. Only one
additional year remains beyond
that for him to break his rec
ord, or bend it, and all now
agree his prospect seems hope
less. The obligations he is as
Stunning can hardly be reversed
in that short time, no matter
what business does.
This is said to have hurt him
more personally than any other
failure. He left the State of
New York with a deficit, but his
friends say he was determined
to balance this one in the end
regardless of consequences.
That is why he held up the
Spend-lend program so long.

Harz Mountain
Canary Centenary

ST. ANDREASBERG. May 3.
Canary breeding in the Harz
Mountains of Central Germany
can now look back on hundred
years of existence. It was started
by a miner named Trute at st.
Andreasberg, who acquired some
of these tiny Songsters from other
mining folk in the Err Mountain
district Of SaXony.
AS a result a breeding business
sprung up, which supplies the
whole world with canaries. Canary
breeding in the Harz Mountain
district is not restricted to the
town of st. Andreasberg. 1t is also
carried on in neighboring Ben
neckenStin, Sorg, HohegeisS and
Thale.

Tax Exempt Securities

THE Presidents recommends
l. ton to tax tax-exempt secu.
rites in the future seems to
have been filed away already in
the minds of Congressional au-
thorities as one of those things
they will get around to doing
sometime-but not soon. The
impression is widespread inside
that Mr.. Roosevelt will not slay
Congressman for ducking that
recommendation.
His timing of it, they suspect,
was designed to uphold the ex-
iSting bond market in the face
Of the Spend-lend prospects. BY
holding out a threat of taxation
for future Government bonds,
the existing tax-free bonds were
made more attractive invest

The Identification was made, in

even attended the conference, by
other members of the delegation
who revealed they considered
him one of their most important
members, although news dis
patches omitted his name.
The denial came from Harold

it was he who had talked with
reporters when the delegation left

Dram represented the Rev. Fran

SHEROVER PRESENT
Informed of Grams statements,
however, Chester A. Arthur, grand
son Of the late President and a
member of the delegation, said:
II can't understand why Mr..

that. I was standing right be-

the interview. Naturally, he
would be present, since he is

to conceal anything"
