PURGE SENATOR'S KILL F. R. ARMS plan
Pigs IsPigs
To This Deputy

VENTURA, CAL, July IL. (UP)
The boys around the sheriff's
office had good laugh today
at the expense of Deputy Sheriff
Grant Fraser.
Soon after Sheriff Durley was
given the responsibility of man
aging the county farm, Fraser
received a message to buy 1000
pigs for the farm. Fraser went
from farm to farm throughout
Ventura county in search of pigs
but after a long days work had
succeeded in making deals for
only about 120 pigs. So he tele-
phoncd the sheriff and said he
thought there weren't 1000 pigs
In the entire county.
"How many pigs did you say?"
asked the sheriff, incredulously.
sTwo thousand"
Hell, man." the sheriff fairly
shouted, Il wanted two sows and
pigs"

the immediate possibility that con-
gress will wind up its business and
adjourn within the next two weeks.
The committee agreed to defer all
neutrality action until the next
session of congress.
Opponents of the administration
proposal to eliminate embargo pro-
visions of the present law succeed
ed by a narrow margin in forcing
the committee to suspend considera-
ton of neutrality proposals for the
current session.
The administration had hoped to
report a revision bill to the senate
floor, preferably a bill without the
house continuance of the embargo
on shipments of arms and NUM-
tions to belligerents.
Two Democrats who were victims
of President Roosevelt's attempted
purge of conservative Democrats in
1888 were responsible for the blow
to the administration. They were

State Department
Marks lis 150th
Anniversary
Growth Long PoroIIeled
By Increasing Duties
And Problems
- the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
Echoes from all parts of a trou-
bled world resounded in the State
Department today as 1t observed,
without ceremoly, the 150th ami
versary of its founding.
When Thomas Jefferson took Office
as the first Secretary Of State, the
department consisted of five clerks
in this country and three represent
tatives abroad. 1t occupied two
rooms in New York. Today nearly
1000 employees reported for work
here, and $500 foreign service OFF,
GERS were at their desks abroad.
But the growth of the department
has been paralleled by the growth
of its problems. Relations are main-
tained with SO nations. American
commerce of five to six billion dol
lars a year is safeguarded
And today Secretary Hull, the
white haired chieftain of the de-
partment, faced problems in many
parts of the world. He was con-
cerned by developments in Europe
from which he said yesterday the
United States would continue for an
indefinite time to have serious
repercussions.
Concern at Far East.
He was concerned by the increas-
ing number of Japanese American
incidents in China. He was await
{r,o roo ctiop from, Ioron IN tho Ctoto
Departments notice of abrogation
of the 1911 treaty of commerce and
navigation. He was stirred by the
controversy in China between Brit
ain and Japan, lest it should affect
our interests there.
He was reported dissenting from
the insistence of Secretary Wallace
on export subsidies for certain farm
products. He was seeking to pro-
mote better relations with Latin
American nations, and to straighten
out the oil controversy with Mexico.
He was planning for the next session
of Congress how to overcome the
stalemate on neutrality. He was
looking ahead to certain fight on
his trade agreements program at
the next session of Congress when
the law comes up for renewal.
Goal to Prevent War.
He was, in general, asking himself
what this country could do to pre-
vent the outbreak of war anywhere
IN the world and restore all nations
to respect for international law and
treaties.
Jefferson would have been amazed
If he could have visited the State
Department today and watched the
flow of kilograms come into the de-
partment's own telegraph room from
all parts of the world He would be
astounded to see dispatches arrive
from Paris few minutes after thev
had been put on the wire, whereas
1t took him many days to get a dis
patch from Minister William Short
in Paris. 1t would confound him
to see Mr.. Hull pick up the tele-
phone, ask for Ambassador Kennedy
in London and put question and
get an answer within two minutes.
whereas it required him as many
months to obtain word from Min
ister Thomas Pinckney in London.
Jefferson would have marveled
at a map showing that in Latin
America alone we have nine Am
bassadors and IL Ministers, whereas
in his time all that territory was
owned by Spain and Portugal.
Doctrines which had not been
dreamed of then, such as the Mon
roe Doctrine, the Open Door policy
In China, and Pan-Americanism.
