DALLAS, March 28.-Over the
prairies, rolling hills and mountains
of Texas floats Mrs. Miriam A. (Ma)
Terguson's trial balloon for third
term as Governor.
The 64-year-old grandmother re-
leased it in blustery wind that al
most battered voters to their knees.
She asked that Texans send her a
postal card at her Austin home If
they want her to run.
on and on, Ma Ferguson and her
husband, James E. Ferguson, have
been hitching at the Governors rack
since 1914.
Twice Ma was elected, the only
Woman Governor Of Texas.
Twice her 68-year-old husband
was elected.
The first time, as he took office in
1915, he said to the Legislature and
tt,rong attending his inauguration:
IF you love me like I love you, no
knife can cut our love in two"
Two years later, early in his Sec
ond term, he was impeached and
ousted, barred forever from holding
public Office in Texas.
on that September day in 1917,
after the Senate found Ferguson
guilty of misconduct in office, one
ef his attorneys stood in the Senate
cell before the president, and
roared in q 1O-acre voice:
.Ferguson-ism will be an issue in
" t,e political campaigns of Texas just
a. long as James E. Ferguson re-
mains In the land Of the living"
That prophecy has been borne out
thus far.

Ma Ferguson Puts Out Fee!er
For Third Term as Governor

Mas first race was based on plea
to clear her husbands name. An
amnesty bill was passed but later
was repealed.
Dan Moody, implacable foe OF
Ferguson-ism, defeated her for a
second term.
Ross S. Sterling, Houston oil man,
beat her in a comeback bid in 1890
He asserted she freed too many con-
victs, paroling and pardoning $500
of the States normal 5000 prisoners
Mrs. Ferguson came back in the
next election, upsetting Sterling In
1882.
Mrs. Ferguson says if she runs
her platform will call for less dis
elimination against people over IS
years Of age; gross receipts tax to
aid the aged and a third term for
President Roosevelt.

Wholesale Discounts
Up 10 50 Gents a Ton
Urged for Coal Code
Trial Examiner Files
Price Report With
Bituminous Division

Trial Examiner w. A. Shipman
filed with the Bituminous Coal Di-
vision today recommendations for
discounts ranging from 10 to so
cents which mine owners may allow
registered coal wholesale distribu-
tors when minimum prices are
finally established.
The discounts depend on the size
and kind of coal, the district in
which it is produced and the Sec
ton in which it is sold. A fiat dis
count of 10 cents ton would be
allowed on coal resold to railroad
companies, regardless Of all other
factorss
If these discounts are allowed, Of
f1cials said the benef1ciaries would
be wholesalers who deal in not less
than one carload lots. The scale
would serve, in effect, to fix whole
sale profits on soft coal wherever
mined and distributed.
Howard A. Gray, director of the
division in the Interior Department,
announced he will hear arguments
on exceptions to the examiners S
recommendations on April 18 at the
Washington Hotel Mr.. Shipman,
who has been conducting hearings
on the discounts since November q,
filed his report yesterday.
The fixing of distributors dis
counts is one of the final steps to-
ward making minimum soft coal
prices throughout the country
Three different discount zones are
recommended for districts one to
eight which produce 10 per cent OF
the Nations soft coal. These dis
tricts comprise the fields in Penn
sylvania, Maryland, West Virginia
Virginia, Michigan, Ohio, Eastern
Kentucky and Northeastern Ten
nessee.
Maryland, Virginia and the Dis
trict are covered in zone A, which
governs the coal shipments to desti-
nations also in Connecticut, Della
ware, Massachusetts,, New Jersey
New York, Pennsylvania Rhode
Island, West Virginia and Eastern
Ohio.
Following are the discount.
recommended for coal mined ir
the eight districts and sold in thi.
A zone:
Lump coal, 2 inches or larger ir
size; double screened coal, with
smallest size 2 inches or larger, ane
domestic mine run, II cents a ton.
Lump coal, under inches in size
double screened coal, with smalles
size under 2 inches, Is cents a ton
All other sizes of coal IL cents {

Discounts for the two other zone,
in this principal coal-producing ares
run slightly higher.

Peace Common Aim,
British Ambassador
Tells japanese
Better Relations Between
London and Toxic Are
Predicted by Croieie
~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
TOXIC, March 28-British Am
bassador Sir Robert Leslie Craigie,
in surprisingly conciliatory speech,
predicted today an improvement in
relations between Great Britain and
Japan.
The two nations, he said, ''ulti-
mately are striving for the same
objective, namely, lasting peace
and preservation of our institutions
from extraneous, subversive in
duences."
At the same time he announced
that he and Lady Craigie would
leave in mid-April for a 2Ea month
trip to the United States on "pri-
vate holiday"
Arita in Audience.
The Ambassadors distinguished
audience at d luncheon of the
Japan British Society included
Prince Chichibu, Princess Chichibu
and Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita
Bearing in mind the declared
intentions of the japanese govern
ment and the measure of success
already achieved" Sir Robert said,
Il have definite feeling of con-
fidence in the future of British
Japanese relations
He said there was room for sat-
isfaction in the thought that the
innate good sense of our two ma
tions y ;" has prevented animosities
OF the moment from hardening
into deep-seated resentment or pre-
manent estrangement."
Divergences Serious.
ut would be idle to deny that
there have been serious divergences
of national policy and outlook" Sir
Robert continued, but what has
struck me most is the extent tc
. which the real differences have been
overlaid by a mass of misunder-
standing, misrepresentation and, all
too often, fostered by the unwelcome
attentions of interested third
parties.
ALREADY there is growing in each
= country appreciation of the extent
to which the actions of the other
have been villifled and misrepre-
sented.'
The Ambassador listed reverence
for the throne, religious tolerance
and respect for old traditions ane
customs as attributes Great Britain
and Japan have in common.
Strive for Same Objective.
"Japan and Britain are two mari
time powers on the fringe of CONT
nents and vitally concerned ir
events on those continents" he
noted also.
THE methods may in some cases
differ, but both countries ultimately
are striving for the same obiec-
tive, namely, lasting peace and pres
ervation of our institutions from ex-
traneous, subversive influences.
1T is surely not beyond the powers
of constructive craftsmanship tt
bring the aims of their national pol
icieS into full harmony"

then fire ard smoke streamed out
of the rear of the bomber.
AS the flaming plane started down
witnesses, expecting a crash, we're
surprised that the pilot could make
a landing.
No burns were found on the body
of the man killed by jumping. It
was believed his companions did
not attempt to use their parachutes
because of the low altitude.
Burning fiercely, the plane was
consumed in less than an hour after
landing. Since there were no ex-
plosions it was believed the bomber
carried no bombs.
Release of Sub Sought.
The German submarine which
became stranded in Norwegian
waters miles off Odden was towed
into the harbor of Mandal, on the
southern tip of Norway, by a Nor
wegian warship.
The submarine was identified as
the U-2l, $50 tons, and naval au-
thoritles believed she was being
used as training craft since there
were nearly so men aboard, almost
twice the normal complement Many
OF the crew were under 20 years
of age.
The German Minister to Oslo
asked that the submarine and crew
be freed on the grounds that the
vessel took refuge in territorial
waters because of bad weather and
engine trouble.
The Norwegian admiralty. how
ever, ruled after an inquiry that
the submarine was stranded due to
an error in navigation and that en-
gine trouble resulted from the
stranding.
Celebrating on land action yes
terday, the French command said
that bad weather restricted air ac-
tivity, but two German recon-
naissance flights were made in the
west and north and French planes
again few deep into Germany
On the French and German banks
of the Rhine six miles north of Basel,
Switzerland, meanwhile, powerful
electric beacons we're lighted by
an unofficial agreement" between
France and Germany to warn bel
ligerent warplanes away from neu-
tral Swiss territory.
German Vessel Sunk.
The British Air Ministry an
nounced last night that a scouting
plane of the British coastal COM
mand had attacked and sunk q
German patrol vessel in the North
sea.
The semi official British Informa-
ton Service said British planes dived
from the clouds against heavy anti
aircraft fire and aimed bombs at
one of four vessels. One plane re-
ported direct hit.
There was a big explosion. Be-
fore the flame and smoke had died
down, the British aircraft had flown
into a cloud to escape the storm OF
retaliatory fire. When they emerged
the crew saw but three ships" the
service said.

Mrs. Fiermonte

arrived here by an early morning
plane. He said the body would be
returned to New York, probably to-
night or tomorrow morning.
Shortly after her graduation from
New York finishing school Mrs.
Fermonte-then Miss Madeline
Force-married Col. Astor at his
home in Newport, r. I. He was old
enough to be her father and had
been forbidden to remarry under
terms of a divorce by his first wife,
Mrs. Ava Willing Astor.
She was married to William K.
Dick, multi-millionaire New York
banker in 1916. They were divorced
in 1888. His fortune, before their
marriage, was estimated at 81, SOC, 900.
She was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William H. Force. When
the Titanic struck an iceberg on
her maiden voyage Col. Astor placed
his young wife-soon to become q
mother-in a lifeboat from which
she was subsequently rescued by
the liner Carpathia.
On August IA, 1912, John Jacob
Astor, the sixth of the name, was
born to her. BY the terms of her
husbands will she was given the in
come of trust fund of 5000, 900
as long as she remained a widow.
In the event of her remarriage, 1t
was stipulated, the fund should 60
to William Vincent Astor. The will
also provided a $4,000, 900 trust fund
for any child which might survive
him.
On June %, 1916, she became the
bride of Mr.. Dick at Bar Harbor, Me.
After the Reno divorce from Mr..
Dick she Travelled abroad extern
sively. In Italy she met Fiermonte
Mr.. Fiermonte first announced his
intention to wed Mrs. Dick when he
arrived in New York in October,

| dent Garner. Particularly will this
be true in the urban areas. Out in
the country districts the farmers
are no longer so strong for the
President, it is said.
The Vandenberg managers make
no secret that they hope for some
Progressive support - Vandenberg,
whom they name now progressive
Republican. But even more do they
hope for the support of lot of
Republicans in the State who are
inclined to favor Senator Taft Of
Ohio for the presidential nomina-
ton. Senator Taft has kept out of
the primary contest himself.
Just how easy it is for the
Progressives to vote in the Demo-
cratic or Republican primary is
understandable when it is explained
that every voter, when he goes to
polling place, is handed two bal
lots, joined together by fasteners.
One is a Republican, the other a
Democratic ballot. The voter takes
these ballots into the voting booth,
marks one and folds it over. He
also folds over the ballot he does
not use. When he comes out of
the booth he drops the one he has
marked into the ballot box, and the
other into a waste basket. The two
ballots are identical in color and
appearance from the reverse side
Neither Senator La Toilette nor
his brother, former Gov. Philip La
Toilette, and not any of the Progress
sive party leaders have sounded off
in support of any presidential candi-
date. It is officially stated at Pro-
gressive headquarters that no state
ment will be made. What is being
done via the grapevine, if anything
has not come to the surface. 1t
has been suspected, however, that
Senator La Toilette might be willing
to throw as many votes as he can
to his friend, Senator Vandenberg,
who stood shoulder to shoulder with
him in the arms embargo fight
Certainly none of the La Toilette
Progressives have come out fol
Dewey.
RAY CaTeIul tame.
The Progressives are playing a
careful game. Senator La Toilette
comes up for reelection next No
vember He will get the Progress
sive nomination for Senator with
out opposition. Phil La Toilette
although he has made no announce
ment yet, may run again for Gov
ernor-against Gov. He'll, who took
La Toilette into camp in 1938 They
are not seeking enemies. whom they
might make if they favored one
one Democratic slate or one Re
publican slate against another. II
they are to win, they must have
support outside of the Progressive
party.
The defeats the Progressives sus.
tanned at the polls in 1888, wher
the Republicans elected a Governor
and Senator and seven Republican
members of the House, disrupted
the party to considerable extent
Their purpose now is to rebuild
and they do not wish to make any
more enemies than they have K
at this stage of the game.

publican group offering its name to
hard-shelled reactionaries.
"Progressives. will not be misled
by the deceptive propaganda of an
organization which pretends to be
progressive, but which in reality has
absolutely no kinship with the
Progressive party and progressive
principles"
The Kyle statement hits at the
tactics employed in the interest OF
the Dewey candidacy. 1t does not
make any suggestion that Progress
sives 60 into the Republican pri-
mary and vote for Senator Vanden-
berg's delegate slate However, the
Vandenberg supporters say that it
will be interpreted as urging the
Progressives to oppose Mr.. Dewey
and to that extent it will help the
Michigan Senator.
The only former Progressive Office
holder to make an open statement
for any group of delegate candi-
dates is former Representative
Boileau, who delivered a radio ad-
dress Tuesday urging support for
the :"Roosevelt-Farley" slate, backed
by Charles E. Broughton, Demo-
cratic national committeeman, and
Leo Crowley. Mr.. Boileau gave il
as his opinion that the Broughton-
Crowley Democratic group is the
official Democrtic organization OF
the State.
Another Democrtic group-head-
ed by Gustave J. Keller and Ed
ward Curry-claims to have the only
Simon-pure Roosevelt delegate slate
in the field. 1t, too, has made its
appeal for support of the La Toilette
Progressives, asserting that daily
it becomes more apparent that only
Roosevelt can defeat Republican re-
action in America in 1910" It
charges that the "Roosevelt-Farley'
slate is really for Farley and not fol
denomination of the President.
