Block Copyrighting Upheld
In District Court RuIinq

A decision that would, in effect,
permit newspaper syndicates to
copyright features and comics in
group blocks rather than separately
was announced in District Court
today by Justice Daniel w. ODon-
oghue.
Attorneys for King Features Syn
dictate, principal in the case, said
the decision would save the syndi-
cate about $4,000 a year.
For example, they pointed out,
the syndicate had 423 items in one
weeks edition of features. Under
the Governments contention that
this material should be copyrighted
separately the copyrighting cost
would be $846. Under the syndicate
company plan of block copyright
ing the cost would be only $12, or
81 for each of the six issues of the
material.
Assistant United States Attorney
William S. Tarver, former news
paperman, who represented the
Government, said that an appeal to
the United States Court of Appeals
is being considered.

Banks to Open Daily
At $50 to Conform
To 4O-Hour Week

To meet the 40-hour week
provisions of the wage-hour law
and avoid as much overtime as
possible, all the banks and trust
companies in Washington will
adopt $50 am. as the daily
opening time, beginning Mon
day, December 2, it was learned
today. The banks will continue
to close at 2 pm. on regular
business days.
On Saturday the hours will be
from $50 am. to noon.
On the 18th day and last day
of each month, banking hours
will be from $50 am. to $50
pm, but when the 18th day or
the last day of any month falls
on a Saturday, a Sunday or a
legal holiday, the banks will re-
main open until $50 pm. on the
next succeeding full business
day.
There will be some variations
in these hours among the %
active banks in the Capital.
Some will close at 5 O'Clock in
stead of $50 on Government
paydays.
The Washington Clearing
House has favored the shorter
hours, but each individual bank
has to arrange its own banking
hours so that no general an
nouncement will be issued.

Playing the Irishman's part in Mr..
Bluebeard," he had just left the
stage when the fire broke out. He.
Eddie Foy, and at least one other
actor did what they could to avert
panic, helping many from the blaz-
ing building.
Well known to a past generation
as dialect comedian, Mr.. Cawthorn
appeared here as Peter Stuyvesant
in THE Burgomaster," which played
at the Columbia in 1902. He and the
late Henry E. Dixey, jr., were widely
acclaimed for their parts.
Native of London.
Mr.. Cawthorn was born in Lon
don, England, the son of a wealthy
merchant who lost his fortune in
an Indian enterprise when Herbert
was a child. Forced to look for a
new means of livelihood, his mother
wrote skits and songs for Herbert
and one of his two brothers, Joseph
Cawthorn.
Singing, dancing and playing the
banjo and concertina, the two boys
made hit with audiences in Lon
don and later in the United States.
Joseph Cawthorn is now a character
actor in moving pictures. He lives
in Beverley Hills, Calf. The third
brother, the Rev. Harry Cawthorn,
is a minister in Chicago.
Once Kidnapped by Actors.
Mr.. Cawthorn was kidnapped by a
group of actors while touring the
Midwest with his mother and
brother. He was about z years old
at the time and his kidnapers sought
to hide his identity and exploit his
talents. One of his most treasured
possessions was a telegram deliv-
cred by the Wells Fargo Express
Co., telling that he had been found.
He was one of the original men,
beers of the Elks Club in Columbus,
Ohio.
Club members will conduct funeral
services at o'clock tonight at the
Lee funeral home, Fourth street and
Massachusetts, avenue NE. Burial
will be private.

Vengeance Is Mine :"
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 When Germany attacked Poland with ruthless force, it was heralded to the world act of vengeance for Polish mistreatment of Germans. A detailed report these atrocities was issued by the German Government after the punitive cam paign in which the Nazi mechanized divisions deci- mated the poorly equipped Poles the air force blast ed the cities of Poland into rubbe and arrangements were made for mass enSlavement and starvation of the Polish people This report, exhaustively docu- mented by sworn statements of German sympathiz- erS dealt with perhaps score of instances in which persons of German blood NaI leanings killed before and during the Polish campaign The bound report was explicit even down to the exact metric measurement of the wounds of the victims and their precise locations the bodies.
 The pains to which the National Socialists went in compiling this treatise incongruous it seemed in relation to the incalculably numerous acts of atrocity for which the Naz regime itself has been responsible, explained now because apparently it provides enduring basis for German ruthlessnesS toward the Poles.
 Its is suggested in a recent issue of Das Schwarze Korps the official organ of Htlers elite S. S. Storm Troops. In response to a question whether it was proper to require servant to sleep in the Polish girl, the publication had this to say: German working girls should not sleep in the with diligent Polish grlsl Why not with equally digent pigs in pig sty? The lat ter at least would have saving attributes It certainly be assumed that the fathers and brothers of the diligent pigs have not bestally dered and tortured Germans. The dligent Polish girl cannot offer this guarantee We do not intend to release individual of the guilt of an entire nation-not a single one, not the diligent Polish girl not Polish sucklings They will account to for all time for the crime of their blood and we will never tolerate that one German shall make an exception"
 Such is the spirit which has engulfed Europe, for the success at arms of which Chancellor Hitler expresses appreciation to God.

American Mare NOstrum"
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

(CleVeland Plan Dealer)
 Aware that the Caribbean is the mare noStrum" of the United States the government is taking steps to strengthen it's defenses in that Protection of the West Indian islands and the countries border ing the Caribbean is of utmost strategic importance in defending the Panama Canal
 Transfer of a marine brigade from the Quantico base to the naval reserve station at Guantanamo, Cuba, is just beginning The idea of placing 290O men in the probable danger zone is aimed to make present limited man power and facilities eff fective possible in of trouble
 These men, plus those already in Cuba Puerto Rico and the Canal Zone sufficient to cope with every situation which might arise a result of European events Many and ships are needed if the United States is called to make good it's declaration that no European possession in that regioh shall be transferred to another non- American power.
 It is all very well for Pan- American conferences to talk 1n terms of hemisphere defense-meaning naturally that the lions share of the task would be carried by the United States But naval and mili- tary strategists know that this country should it muster all its present resources could not effectively defend more than the Caribbean from a determined foe. To do this much at the present time would expose the nation and its interests to danger elsewhere, particularly in the Far East The problem simners down to the impossbility of protecting oceans and hemisphere with one-ocean navy.
 It is hoped that the necessity to defend this area arises but this country cannot repose in such hope. Men and ships alone guarantee safety and the dispatch of 2900 Marines to Cuba underscores the imperative need for more of both.

THOU SALT NOT

preacher friend of ours takes issue with statement in recent Empire editorial that i've think the people of Alaska are against such a sys- tenn Territorial liquor stores if they stop to think the problem carefully in all it's implications"
 This friend tells that all the people he has talked with in favor of Territorial liquor monopoly Perhaps they and he have not-as we suggest-thought the problem carefully in all it's implications. To help them do so let consider a parallel situation
 Supposed the Territory of Alaska should say to friend that Christianity as he and his fellow pastors have been preaching it is all very well but that henceforth in the interests of economy and uniformity there would be one Territorial brand of religion. Tn each community there would be one church, with a Territorial minister preaching the gospel the Territorial Legislature believed it should be preached. The Territorial church would not have services at the convenient hours arranged for merly by friend and his fellow members of the ministerial association Probably it would be nice to have Sunday closing" in order to let church em- poyees follow the Biblical injunction that in the Sabbath day thou shalt not do any work" The dozens of church buildings which formerly housed individual congregations could either be closed or rented out for other purpose not in conflict with the best interests of the Territory If a gregation had a large investment in building organ and prayer books, that just too bad The Terri toflal chufcn would need larger quarters to take care of the unified congregation It would, of course have it's own prayer books and hymnals. Neither would the new church have any for the services of preacher friend A staff of Territorial em- ployees, carefully chosen for their orthodoxy in political beliefs, would take
 If our friend should rise in righteous indignation against the imposition of such system who would blame him? We wouldn't. And yet when it is proposed that other mems investments and liveli hoods be swept away by similar Territorial monopoly our friend is of the leaders of the hue and cry for the change.

NEW AGRICULTURE SECRETARY

It looks as if Franklin Roose- welt was going to play the cards close to his chest and go into the campaign without much en- largement of his official family For his new Secretary of Agricul- ture, replacing Henry Wallace, was promoted from the ranks.
 He is Claud R. Wickard of h. diana, formerly Under Secretary of Agriculture, an able gentleman, but carrying no political weight and of no great help to Roosevelt or Wallace in Presidential year. Paul H. Appleby, Wallace's right hand assistant, and the man who vigor- ously urges Wickard's promotion, will step up to fill his shoes as Under Secretary.
 This series of promotions is just the opposite of what was urged on Roosevelt by some of his political advisers who wanted him to re- ward Paul McNutt for his good soldier sportsmanship at Chicago by putting him in Wallace's place, or to bring MiSsouri's Governor Lloyd Stark into the Cabinet because of his popularity with the farmers.
 Appleby, however, urged Wallace to demand the right to appoint his own successor, and the President | has now gone along, which would seem to indicate that MT. Roose- Velt is not particularly worried about his reelection chances in Mo- Iember.
 NOTE-Jim Le Cron, one of Wal aces ablest aides. will resign to ,e his campaign adviser.
