May Organize

By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

I.N.S.) Powerful leaders in the
American Federation Of Labor &C.
cepted CIO action removing Homer
Martin from the presidency of the
United Auto Workers today as a
welcome opportunity for the fed.
Grafton to throw it's organizing
forces into the automobile indus
try.
This viewpoint will be laid be-
fore the AFL executive council
when it meets in Miami for its
first 1899 session next week by
John P. Frey, president Of the
Metal Trades Department.
FEEL OUT SENTIMENT
Frey disclosed that associates"
Of Martin have approached him
to "feel out" AFL sentiment
towards the anti-CIO faction Of
the auto workers.
Martins acceptance Of the die
tum deposing him as president
was received as further indication
that he and his supporters might
view the AFL with a friendly"
feeling.
10000 WORKERS
Reports have persisted that Mar.
tin has been in touch with Off
cials Of the Ford Motor Company
concerning possible unionization
Of Ford employees.
Should such negotiations bring
concrete results, Martin might be
able to take 10000 Ford workers
into the AFL camp.

Vivien Leigh
Isn't Type

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. IS Q.N.S0.
A worried Scarlet O'Hara sat in
bungalow at the Selznick studio
yesterday trying to figure out how
to win over loud minority of
fans who have set themselves
against her.
In her party gown Of the Civil
War period, English Actress Vivien
Leigh easily rated the title of
Hollywood's most beautiful new
conner since Hedy Lamar.
PLAINLY NERVOUS
But she was plainly nervous.
She said:
Most of the letters are COM
plimentary and, stran gely
enough, the objections are not
coming from the South but
from other parts Of the coun-
try. The Southern people have
been very nice about my getting
the role"
Nobody could have been more
surprised than herself when she
was asked to make the test, de-
clared Miss Leigh. She added:
when read Gone With the
Wind I naturally wished I
could play Scarlett, but it never
occurred to me that I would
have a chance. Certainly moth
ing was farther from my mind
when I came to Hollywood.
ALMOST MISSED CHANCE
when I met Mr.. Selznick
and he asked me to read for
him, wasn't even very excited.
I was supposed to leave for Eng
land in a few days to do the re-
vival of play. If it had been
a new play instead of revival,
I doubt if I would have stayed
to make the test. That's what
thought of my chances"
According to the star, her chief
comfort is that no actress chosen
for the part would have pleased

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may get relief now with
Creomulsion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take q chance with any remedy
less potent than CreomulSion, which
goes right to the seat Of the trouble
and aids nature to Soothe and heal
the indamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even If other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist Is authorized to
refund your money If you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. Creomulsion is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (AGv.)

CURLEY CALLS
PUBLIC TOITS
CHARITY DUTY
Poverty Galore" Here,
Says Archbishop

Washington citizens, regardless
Of creed, stood admonished today
by Archbishop Michael ]. Curley
that charity is not a matter o1
choice but rather an obligation.
AS principal speaker before the
annual meeting of Catholic Chari
ties last night at the Raleigh Ho
tel, the archbishop stated:
Faith without good works is
dead.
Here in the Capital City Of
Washington there are many who
try to get something for moth
ing.
CHARITY AND FAITH
1--WE do not find charity in all
Of the upper 400, only the love of
their own power. These are the
businessmen, the doctors and
the lawyers. They are the bene-
ficiaries and not the benefac-
tors"
Turning to st. Paul, the Arch.
bishop quoted:
IF any man sayeth that he
loves God whom he cannot see
and does not love his neighbor
whom he can see, that man is
q liar"
In this connection, the Balti
more prelate asserted the i'm.
portance of charity lies in the in.
crease of faith of the donor in.
stead Of in the benefit derived
by the recipient. He said:
"The Catholic church has al
ways been the bulWark of the
world and its members must be
the doers, for without acts of
charity faith cannot exist. It
Is not work that we must not
do but a work that it is our
duty to do"
POVERTY GALORE"
The Archbishop stated Wash
tngton has poverty galore
despite its oStentation of wealth.
He lauded the accomplish
ments of those organizations
which have ameliorated conditions
among the city's poor and cited
particularly the work of Mary
Merrick, who founded the Christ
Child Society here.
"Her sanity influence" he
said, spreads to the ends of
America"

Varied and weird are some Of the

after the World War, with the dis

the diplomatic courier service grew
until it embraced 80 to 40 couriers,
mostly American Army officers, and
some regulations became stretched.
A Story About Eggs.
The story is told of an American
minister in Balkan country who
had the courier bring him in every
week heavy crate of eggs. Some
times the courier found a porter to
carry it for him and sometimes he
did not. At any rate, his personal
sentiments toward the crate of eggs
became ever more explosive. One
day, on arriving at his destination,
he called from the train window for
porter. Carefully waiting until
the porter was about 20 feet away he

Two Routes Used

Types Of Pouches
n the Associated Press.

N the Associated Press.
To and fro around the world
American couriers are carrying dip
lomatic pouches filled with secret
messages giving a background of
war or peace.
This is the story Of the diplo-
matte pouch, that mysterious bag
with its secret cargo. And this is
the story, too, of the couriers. those
supposedly romantic figures who
travel always, crossing two or three
frontiers In a night, carrying with
them a precious something that re-
mains unknown to them, but guard
ing 1t with their lives.
The American diplomatic mail
goes around the world, but 1t starts
In Washington. 1t branches out In
three directions, one toward Eu-
rope, one toward Asia and one
toward South America.
The pouches for Asia and Europe
are sealed in the State Department
with a lead seal and a special ro-
tary lock. Then they are handed
over to the post Office, which puts
them aboard ship and arranges
for their delivery in London, Paris
and Toxic. The pouches for Latin
America are sent by air.
Two Routes from Paris.
The American professional courier
system operates out of Paris, once
q week over two routes. The first
goes from Paris to Rome to Greece
to Constantinople, then back to
Paris through the Balkan countries.
The second goes from Paris to Ber-
lin. Warsaw, Riga, Helsingfors, Mos
COW and back.
When the pouches arrive in Paris
from Washington they are opened
by keys duplicating the ones in
Washington, and their contents are
assigned to couriers.
The courier starts out from Paris
by train with number of pouches.
He has railroad compartment all
to himself and is equipped with
diplomatic passport on which he is
named as diplomatic courier. The
carriers also have customs facilita-
ton papers from the countries
whose borders he must cross. He
could travel by air, but the State
Department prefers him to take the
train.
Types Of Pouches Carried.
The courier has with him two
types Of diplomatic pouches. There
are pouches containing personal
mail, packages, magazines, newspa-
pers, etc, for American foreign
service officers. And there is sin
gle pouch containing confidential
diplomatic missives. Actually this
is not pouch at all, but a rigid
dispatch box that looks like a small
tan suitcase and has special lock.
When the courier leaves his COM
partment - or ship stateroom - for
the diner, he may lock his compart-
ment and leave the bulky packages
behind, but he may not be sepa-
rated under any circumstances from
the confidential pouch.
The courier is not cautioned spe-
cially against talking to or consort-
ing with strangers. However, he is
strongly advised against making
any misuse of his diplomatic posi-
ton by carrying anything, except
ing the contents of his official
pouches, across borders for any one
He is warned emphatically against
carrying any money for any one,
which might be in violation of the

Needless to say, he was not asked to

istration, of which Nathaniel p.

Three Professional Carriers.

There are three professional
American couriers operating out OF

If for some reason or other, no
courier is available, the American
Ambassador in Paris has the right
to. make use of a foreign service
officer or an Army or Navy attache
for the same purpose. In Asia,
there are no professional American
couriers, and their places are taken
by foreign service officers or mill
tary attaches along route en-
bracing Toxic, Peiping and some
times Shanghai. In Latin America
there are no couriers, since the
pouches are delivered by air and
may be taken from the airplane at
the airport by an official of the en-
bassy or legation in each capital.
All told, the courier system costs
