Spokesman" to say their say about
taxes, made his own speech at
Warm Springs, Ga. Public reaction
to the no-new-taxes feelers had been
good, and it was especially clear
that the administration would have
trouble forcing congress to levy new
taxes and at the same time increase
the national debt limit. In such
position, the President wisely said
little and left the problem up to
congress and the people.
His statement: That national de-
tense OUTLAWS for the 1904 fiscal
year will be increased about $780,
100000 (total: approximately So, 2OO,-
000,000) and that emergency defense
taxes might be necessary. But the
people, he said, should decide wheth-
er to finance it by borrowing or by
new taxes. That left the problem
squarely up to congress, with the
President taking a sidelines seat.
There were other indications he
would seek no third term. At Warm
Springs he urged the good people
to start agitating for a new post
Office because ''we have got only a
little over a year left" Meanwhile
Columnist Walter Lippmann decid-
ed the President really didn't want
another term, but only wanted the
honor of having to turn it down.
Other political notes:
q At Dallas it was learned authori-
tatively that Vice President John
Nance Garner would soon announce
his candidacy for the 1910 nominal
ton.
q At Boston, Mrs. Ruth Hanna Nc
Cormick Simms, ex-representative
from Illinois, asked the Republicans
to nominate young Tom Dewey, ga
fighting young man, man of vigor,
courage and proved executive abil-
ity."

LABOR:
Film Strike

Whether A. F. of L. movie unions
are powerful enough to shut down
10000 U. S. film theaters is ques-
ton no movie producer is anxious
to test. Directed by William Bioff
(whom Chicago authorities sought
on a 17-year-old pandering convic-
tion) studio unions in Hollywood de-
manded 10 per cent wage increase
and threatened to close theaters if
it was refused. Projectionists had
promised their cooperation. Pro-
ducers refused at first, claiming
they had lost foreign markets since
the war and faced sharp produc-
ton curtailment. Unionists coun-
tered with not too far-fetched
charges of "exorbitant salaries"
paid to stars. AS the deadline
neared, producers capitulated. IN
til February Is the unionists will
have a 10 per cent increase. Then
the question will be opened again.

two British intelligence officers
Capt. Richard Stevens and Maj.
Sigismund Best-had been seized for
aiding in the Munich explosion, for
which a German named Georg FL
ser had subsequently been arrested.
By implication, Himmler admitted
a minor anti-Hitler movement in
Germany, but by the time Neither
lands and Britain got through with
the story it looked like Hitler was
skating on thin ice.
At the Hague, the Dutch news
paper Het VOEk charged a Belgian
neutrality officer had been killed No
vember 9 when Best and Stevens
were abducted from Venlo, where
they had been carrying on peace ne
gotiations with "anti-Hitler leaders"
from Germany. Identity of these
leaders" remained a mystery that
Heinrich Himmler would give his
right arm to solve, for many Ger
mans know he is a fervent NaZi
who looks suspiciously on Field Mar
shall Hermann Goering as poten-
tial Hitler foe.
In Britain it was claimed that
Georg Elser was merely a concen-
tration camp prisoner who was
"seized" for the record; that the
Munich bombing had really been
planned by Himmler as an excuse
for making wholesale Nazi arrests
and thus wedding out revolutionists
possibly including Herr Goering.
Whatever the true facts of Venlo,
Munich, Best, Stevens, Elser ct al,
it was obvious Nazi Germany was
worried by an underground anti-Hit-
Ter movement which has roots in
dissention following the wedding Of
Nazidom and Communism.
Missionaries
Scattered generously in dispatches
from Washington and Europe have
been suggestions concerning the
peace to follow war. Few English
men or Frenchmen now believe YER
sailles was just treaty; they now
hope to lick Hitler and give Ger
many a rational postwar settle
ment. Most important, there is grow
ing talk of a European confedera-
ton whose units might include:
O Eastern Europeans, encom-
passing nations from the Gulf of Fin
land to Rumania, with Poland DOM
inant.

eran recalled, there was some ex-
cellent hunting with a pack of
hounds for the second cavalry bri-
gade. When a stop was put to this
by peasants who objected to having
their fields galloped over, interregi-
mental polo was organized. This
sporting activity also was checked
in its infancy.
The British horsemen had to con-
tent themselves with unofficial point

QUESTIONS

White, Tender Chicken Meat
If a chicken is well rubbed inside
and out with a cut lemon before
being cooked it will make the meat
white, juicy and tender.
Sandwich Filler.-Peanut butter
mixed with little cream is good
filling for white or graham cracker
sandwiches for children.
To Hasten COOking.-When us
ing a double boiler the food will
cook more quickly if the water
in the outer vessel is sailed in the
proportion of fourth of a cup of
salt to one quart of water.
Slow Up Baking.-If the oven is
very hot put piece of waxed
paper under the casserole cover.
This will prevent the contents of
the casserole baking too quickly.
Cleaning PhOt0graphs.-Photo-
graphs that have become soiled
may be made to look like new
by washing them with a piece of
white cotton wadding dipped in
cold water. Do not use colored
cotton wadding and never use
soap, soap powder or ammonia
just cold water.
Squeaky FlO0rS.-Floors squeak
from various reasons: /. Joist
sizes too small or span too great.
2. The omission of subfooring or
subflooring not laid diagonal to
joints. 3. Finished floor nailings
more than 16 inches apart. Most
of the squeaking is done by the
floor boards working on the nails.
If the underlying construction is
sound, squeaking can be eliminat-
ed by face mailing. This should
be done by competent carpenter
who will not mar the floor surface.

The exhibition tour of Norman
Rocca, 1898 Washington Soap Box
Derby champion, and the coaster
racer he drove to a rain-soaked
victory last July % rolled into South
east and Southwest Washington to-
day after an opening swing in the
Northwest section yesterday.
Starting out yesterday morning at
Powell Junior High School, Hiatt
place NV, the tour moved onward
to Macfarland, Paul and Langley
Junior Highs with hundreds of in
terested boys and girls inspecting
the winning car and talking to the
champion.
According to today's schedule,
Norman and the gold and brown
car were to visit Hine Junior High,
Seventh and C. streets Sc, at 11:3O
m. and then 60 to Jefferson Junior
High, Sixth and D streets S.W, at
1890 pm. for a half hours stay.
The exhibition will continue for
the next two weeks, and the schedule
already mapped out will cover most
of the junior high schools in the
District by next Monday.

Builders Inspect Racer.
At each Junior high school, where
the racer was lifted from a Star
truck and placed on display, boys
already entered in the Derby had
an opportunity to get a first-hand
glimpse of Norman's creation that
won the Derby here last year.
Manual arts teachers who are
advising and instructing boys in
their classes who are in the Derby,
inspected the racer, too, and dis
cussed the Derby with the boys.
They included John Williams, at
Powell; E. L. Cooney and r. L.
Hartley, at Macfarla1fd; Charles E.
Combs, at Paul, and James r. Reilly
and Joseph H. McCauley, at Lang
ley.
When Norman and his car reached
Langley the racer was placed on
the sidewalk between two side en-
frances. The boys from each class
in the school were allowed, one
after another, to leave their rooms
and file outside to spend a few min
utes looking over the car.
I'VE wanted every boy in the
Derby age brackets to see the win
