New Deal 0vertures
To Business Held
'Insincere'
Senator Taft Declares
Republicans Must
Take Leadership

3y the Associated PreSs.
NEW YORK, March 18.-The ad-
ministration's recent overtures to in
dustry were characterized by Senator
Taft, Republican, Of Ohio today Is
insincere and an admission that
business has been 'badgered and
discouraged"
The Ohio Senator told the Ma
tional Republican Club that the Re-
publican party must assume leader
ship In giving encouragement to
business.
Must Encourage Business.
what then should be the Re-
publican program?" he asked. ut
must combine a policy of encourage
ment to private industry, which can
put millions of men to work, with
sincere and effective administration
of relief measures to assist directly
and lower income groups. It must
recognize the absolute necessity of
relief measures in this country for
many years to come.
I'VE must assist the lower income
groups by direct relief, by work re-
lief, by old age pensions, by unem-
ployment insurance, and by some
form of housing subsidy. -"
Americans must be assured that
they will not be met by Government
competition in their field Of business
activity. -" They must feel that
Government expenses will be held
down as far as possible. = = They
would like to know that the currency
Is stable, the Governments fiscal
policy sound, and all danger Of in
f1ation of the currency removed" !"
Taft said.
Assails New Deal.
Senator Taft contended that
Government regulation and compe-
tition under the New Deal have
directly discouraged private activity
Of every kind"
More men have gone out of busi-
ness In the last five years than have
gone into business, because of the
complete uncertainty whether they
can survive constant Government
Interference" he added. Nov we
are told that everything has
changed and that the administra-
tion is going to treat business like
human beings.
THE very adoption of a so-called
policy OF appeasement admits that
the American businessmen and men
who would like to go into business
have been badgered and discour-
aged to an extent which requires an
absoluete reversal of Government
policy"
Senator Taft held that ''the ap-
peasement policy is like the famous
breathing spell for business only
. smoke screen to conceal the real
policies OF the administration"
1T cannot be sincere" Senator
Taft said. whenever any question
OF action arises, the President is
just as determined in his previous
policies as he ever has been be-
fore. The S. e. C. still takes
the attitude that businessmen are
presumptively crooks.
THE present administration has
not confidence in the efficacy of
private business activity" Senator
Taft declared. 'While their policv
continues, it is impossible to achieve
any real progress toward the elimi-
nation Of unemployment"

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOvEN-of
whom the great Wagner spoke these
words-H regarded by musicians and
music lovers everywhere with an adora-
ton and reverence amounting almost
to ave. Hardly any musical genius who
ever lived can be ranked as high in the
history Of musical composition.
Born Of an easy-going mother who
was domestic servant and of besotted,
brutal father, Beethoven never played
the games of other boys All his child
hood was dogged by wretchedness, even
slow starvation. Dragged from bed in
the middle of the night by . drunkenly
raging father. he would be forced to
practice his music for sleep-drugRed
hours This from the age Of four-from
which time his life was bent only to-
ward music.
Grown, he was ugly of face and figure,
short. squat, lumpish and thick fingered
Possessed of violent temper, q harsh
tongue and careless. untidy habits, pow
erty-stricken always, Beethoven was
anything but prepossessing.
Stories Of his rudeness, his bitter
humor. his uncouth manners have be-
come legend. How he poured . dish of
stew over the head Of q waiter who dis
pleased him. How he punished a cook
for the staleness of eggs by throwing the
whole lot at her one by one. How he
sent . wisp Of goats beard to . lady
who asked for lock of his hair.
Yet, for all his forbidding habits, his
coarse speech and humor, the reigning
beauties of the Vienna aristocracy
adored him and would stand any rude
ness from him. And for all his boorish
exterior he was, in his inmost thoughts,
all that was fine and noble His music,
daringly original for his day, shocked
his contemporaries-but even them he
enchanted with his playing and his i'm
provisations.
Illness followed him all his years,
turned his best days into aching misery.
Finally. In the midst Of his greatest
work, fate dealt him blow that would
have crushed any ordinary man.

And What
They Do
Low Is Not Disturbed
About HitIer's Hint
Of Secret Weapon
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON,

ny AGVA OEA 4 IN L OINs
Prof. A. M. Low, famous British
physicist, treasures his countrymen
about the German death ray" or
whatever 1t was Adolf Hitler re-
ferred to in his Danzig speech,
when he talked about a secret
weapon" Prof. Low says all this
was just big talk and replied, In
effect, that England could spot Der
Fuehrer couple of Nightmares and
an apocalypse and leave him one
down when 1t came to dealing
horrors.
The professor blew himself up q
couple Of times studying such mat
ters and has the additional qualifi-
cation Of nine academic degrees,
from nearly as many universities,
and has his own trademark on
many of the British war acces-
sories, including the wireless tor
pedo control.
One bit of evidence that he can
outsmart the Germans, or perhaps
anybody else in his line, appears
in his invention of the scientific
golflng putter last December. A
necessary companion instrument is
the professors pair of trick spec
tacles. AS you adjust the spectacles
with a screw on the frame they
distort the image of the golf ball
until 1t is elongated into a ribbon
of white, leading smack into the
hole. The putter is fitted with
delicately adjusted red light. If
you maintain a perfect pendulum
swing along the guiding white line,
the red light glows, and goes out
If you're swinging sideways. Thus,
monitored by science, you sink
20-foot putt.
Naturally, the Royal and Ancient
Implements Committee refuses to
allow use of the device in tourna-
ments, but Prof. Lows many con-
tributions to war apparatus, cover
Ing communications, transportation
and combat weapons, are under no
such restrictions and he Is quite
undisturbed about any possible
chronological competition from the
Germans. AS to all this, he is quite
sure that England is no longer
"muddling through" He is one of
the leading research physicists and
consulting engineers of Britain, 81
years old, the author of about 20
sprightly H. G. Wellsian books on
the future of science. He Is an
optimist.
Just in passing, England bought
death ray from a mysterious con-
tinental inventor few years ago.
The deal was whispered in the dark
OF the moon and the inventor DEM
onstrated his ray before a war Of
flce committee, aiming at COW in a
secluded meadow at dawn. He
adjusted some snarling, sizzling
gadgets, aimed his gun and the COW,
200 yards away, Topped over dead.
He took his payment and departed.
The committee, tracing the process
more carefully, found the cows feet
fastened to electrodes. The in
ventor. touching of his death raw.
had linked an underground circuit.
Prof. Low thinks all death ravs
are quite as fraudulent and tells
the world that England is scien-
tifically prepared. And any one
who can make a golf putter an in
strument OF precision must be
needed.

The Political Mill
Embargo Repeal Bottle SINNERS Down
To What Is Surest Rood to Peoce'

before: that it will bring only dis
aster with a huge loss Of life.
Taking stock at the outset of the
battle, the anti-repealists are not
downhearted-at least, so they say.
Their claims run already as high
as 80 Senators ready to vote against
elimination Of the arms embargo.
They insist that more and more
other Senators are becoming "open
minded" on the question and may
be won over. A majority Of the
Senate is 40. They are counting
on a wave Of sentiment against
repeal running over the country as
the debate in the Senate proceeds
and augmented as the suggested
educational committee" gets under
way.
Members of the Senate are
amazed and almost dazed at the
huge mail which is coming to their
offices dealing with the embargo
issue. Their clerks are swamped
with two and three thousand COM
munications daily-and it Is said
that only a small percentage of the
letters favor the Presidents demand
for embargo repeal. The anti
repealists figure that such a show
of interest in the country will in
the end have considerable effect on
their colleagues.
When the Senate voted for the
passage of the present neutrality
law, containing the arms embargo,
on March 3, 1887, 63 members were
recorded In favor of it and only 6
against it. OF those six, Senators
Borah of Idaho and johnson OF
California were two. Before the
vote was taken, however, Senator
Borah made it clear that he favored
the arms embargo. He voted against
the bill because of the so-called
cash-and-carry clause (Which ex-
pired May l of this year,, which he
contended would prevent the ship
ment of food and other supplies out
of this country.
Now both Senators Borah and
johnson are taking leading parts in
fighting repeal of the embargo.

Spanking Is Opposed
To Stort Boby Breathing
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Sept. 23.-Spaking
o child to start him off in life draws
q scientific frown from DR.. Eldon
Webb Tice.
The Los Angeles surgeon, author Of
q flexible tube method of starting a
babys breathing, told the Pan-Pa-
cif1c Surgical Congress yesterday re-
flnement of the method cut the NOR
tality rate in 1855 deliveries to one
tenth of per cent. In neighbor-
ing area, where older methods such
as spanking were used. the rate was
80 per cent, he said.
He contends the spanking method
was too violent for newborn babes.
, DR.. Tice pushes silk tube down
the windpipe of the infant minute
or two after delivery and a mixture
of oxygen and carbon dioxide is
forced gently through it into the
lungs, to start the breathing process.
