Anniversary of he invention ui
printing from mo- able type BY
Johannes Gutenberg this wear.
His native town erected statue
to Gutenberg more than one hun
dred years ago, ir the year l2S;-.
In the present year both Mainz
and Berlin are holding celebra-
tions in his mcmorv, while Leip-
zig, centre of the German pub.
fishing trade, has ;naugurated a
museum of books.
Gutenberg was the scl'.n OF a
patrician family. Born in Mainz,
he spent many years in Strass-
burg and finally returned to his
native city where he cornpleted
his work. Until recently there was
some dispute as to who was the
inventor of printing. The German
inventor had a Dutch riva; who
worked along similar l,res, bu,
modern research gives the palm
indisputably to Gutenberg.
The exact date of Gutenberg's
invention is not known. The idea
did not leap from his head full
fledged like Pallas Athena. but
involved the labor of many years.
1t also involved Gutenberg in di-
vers financial rifficulties. In fact,
it is largely due to court records
in Strassburg and Mainz, mira
culously preserved, that we know
some of the details of his expert
ments and tribulations.
1t seems that at one time a
citizen of Mainz. Johann Fust,
loaned Gutenberg the sum of 800
Guilders. This amount, equal in
purchasing power to many thou
sands of dollars. enabled Guten-
berg to complete his first printed
version of the Bible. The SOCIAL
ed 42-line Gutenberg Bible, the
greatest monument to his art, was
the first best seller. 1t was pre-
ceded by several other books, in
cluding a Latin grammar, a psal-
ter, and an astronomic calendar.
Legend confuses Gutenberg's
fnacial hacker and partner, Jo-
hann Fust, with DR.. Faust. 1t is
perhaps due to this association
that an apprentice in the printing
shop is sometimes called a "prin-
ter's devil" and that exasperated
authors to this day ascribe print
ers errors to diabolic influences.
However, Fust was not a necro-
mancer, but a shred investor who
acquired Gutenberg's printing
shop when the inventor, always
in finalial straits, was unable to
satisfy chattel mortgage. One
of Gutenberg's early partners was
"a priest, Anthony Heilmann.
Printing, as Otto w. Fuhrman,
to whom we are indebted for
valuable information, points out,
was known in a Limited sense"
even before Gutenberg. But Gu
tenberg's idea differed essentially
from the old Chinese method
which was based on wood-blocks.
IN what is called Topographic
printing letters must meet a
number of exacting requirements.
Fuhrmann defines modern print
ing as "the art of reproducing by
means of separate, cast metal
characters of exact. plane-parallel
dimensions, assembled into a RI
gid form from which impressions
can be taken. The characters must

The British steamer Southgate,
which reported a submarine attack
yesterday, has been located by
United States naval planes operat.

and is mot damaged and in no

nounced today.
The first news of the vessels fate
since her crytic SOS late yesterday
did not give her position. The scout
ing planes which located the ship
are part Of the neutrality patrol
which covers the sea 300 miles of
shore.
Capt. w. w. Bradley, commander
of the destroyer patrol squadron in
the area, radioed the Navy Depart
ment to say aircraft attached to his
search group had sighted the
Southgate.
The traditional policy" of the
Navys neutrality patrol, it was ex-
planned, is not to divulge ship loca.
tions.
Actual contact, it was revealed,
was established and the ship was
reported as unharmed.
May Have Been Debris.
Naval officials explained that pos
sibly the Southgate had seen bit
of floating wreckage or some other
bit of debris which might have
appeared to be submarine.
The Navy Department, lacking
complete information, would not
disclose the seriousness of the re-
ported incident. Unof1icially, there
was an inclination to discount the
alleged submarine attack. This was
backed by reports from Berlin stat
ing no submarines were operating
in the Caribbean area.
Three destroyers and Coast
Guard cutter were dispatched yes

Southgate about 1870 miles north.

The Sea Raven, the latest COM
missioned submarine of the fleet,
is on a shakedown cruise in the
Caribbean. 1t left Florida two DAYS
ago, but Navy officials said it could

the position of the Southgate.
United States submarines are
cleverly identified, it was explained,
by the large numerals on the con-
ming tower, as well as the main
Identification marks on the bow.
The ships name also is carried in
smaller letters across the stern.
At noon, the Navy Department
still was awaiting a complete re-
port from Capt. Ridgley, who is in
command of the destroyer squadron
and air force which first sighted
the Southgate after it reported its

LONDON, March 2.-German air
raiders, swooping low over the
North Sea. struck anew at Britain's S
shipping lanes today as British
scouting planes returned to their
bases after a night of reconnais-
sance flights which a communique
said had taken them over Berlin
and Northwest Germany and drawn
fire from Berlin's batteries.
Two of the Nazi raiders which ap-
peared off the Scottish coast were
driven out to sea by Royal Air Force
fighters as the sounds of heavy gun
fire rolled inland.
The crew of a steamer which
reached a British port said the ship
had been bombed and machine
gunned by Nazi plane, which was
driven off by war vessel before
British planes reached the scene.
German bombers also were be-
Ieved to have attacked shipping off
the southeast coast of Britain. Re-
liable sources reported that ships
had gone into action with their anti
aircraft guns in this locality and
that Royal Air Force planes had
flown out to sea.
Drew Anti-Aircraft Fire.
The scouting planes which recon-
noitered Germany for the seventh
successive night reported they had
drawn anti-aircraft fire at Berlin,
but the air ministry declared that
the fire was VIDE of the mark and
no evasive action by the bombers
was necessary"
Thousands of leaflets were scat

communique added, and parachute
flares were dropped ito drive home
the fact that our aircraft were once

Longs Second Effort
Fails asLegis|dtors
Iqnore Summons
Call Is Abandoned,
Executive Says After
Quorum Is Lacking
BY the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, La, March q
Gov. Earl K. Longs second effort to
convene a special session of his
hitherto obedient Legislature failed
today when the legislators, in open
revolt against the repudiated State
machine, failed to report a quorum
in the Senate.
Only 13 Of 80 Senators were pres
ent at roll call nearly an hour after
the body had been called to meet.
Senators Immediately quit the
chamber and Coleman Lindsay
president. said there can be no ses-
sion because there is no quorum"
Gov. Long later announced
through his secretary that the "call
is abandoned"
Gov. Long also failed to muster
q quorum in the House. Only 4s
members appeared. Efty-me are
necessary for a quorum.
His hat tipped on the back of
his head. the Governor strolled into
the empty Senate chamber at 8
am. and spoke to Senator Harvev
Peltier. floor leader and defeated
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
on the repudiated Long ticket in
last weeks primary.
Galleries were filled, and there
was an air of expectancy.
The Governor later returned to
his office and was reported In con-
ference with advisers.
Gov. Long, trying to salvage some
Of the wreckage of the once all
powerful Huey p. Long political
machine, first summoned the legis-
lators to meet yesterday. They
didn't show up because, Mr.. Long
said, they probably did not receive
his first call in time. Then he is
sued a formal call for 8 o'clock
this morning.
Purposes Listed.
His proclamation listed, among
the purposes of the six-day session,
possible changes. in the Huey p.
Long dictator" law which gives the
attorney general authority to go
into any parish County and take
over the work of the district at
torney.
This was interpreted as move
to forestall the announced intention
OF the newly nominated attorney
general, Eugene Stanley, to start
criminal prosecution of alleged ir-
regularities in State government.
Mr.. Stanley was nominated on the
ticket of Attorney Sam Jones, re
form" candidate, who beat Gov.
Long for the governorship. The
new officials will take Office in May.
Laws Once Used by Huey.
The laws which Gov. Long seeks
to change were once used by his
brother Huey against Mr.. Stanley
when Mr.. Stanley was district at
torney of New Orleans and was
prosecuting cases of alleged election
irregularities. Mr.. Stanley resigned
when he was stripped Of power.
