The Washingtonian police nabbed
the bunch, with a boot and holler.
The Rev. Owen Knox of Detroit,
chairman of the civil rights fedora
ton, was taken off to the Capitol
police heusery. So was a rabbi. At
least 10 of the peaceful demonstra-
tors were likewise nabbed by the
bluecoats, and hauled away from the
Capitol grounds.
Previously, Senator Pepper of
Florida had proved an excellent,
good sport, when he was hanged
and heckled by a mob of female
draft DIRECTORS, who swooped down
on the Washingtonian scene. Poor
rustic Pepper is not everybody's pet,
but he is to be congratulated for
his American laughability, in the
face of female petticoats, embat-
tied. The Pepper hanging, please
note, was only in effigy. The ladies
were in the flesh.

N AME S II, the ne,us

It was announced that Mrs. Chang
Kai-shek, the Observation-Disclosures
wife of Generalissimo Chang, would
fly from China to Washington, to
confer with Mr.. Roosevelt. The Chi
angs are Methodists, like Mr.. Will
kie. Mr.. Roosevelt is an Episcopali-
an. Hitler and Browder are (nomi-
naD Catholics. Churchill is an Eight
eenth-centllry deist. Chamberlain is
a Unitarian. Mussolini is an atheist.
Stain was educated as an Orthodox
priest. Lady Astor and Lord Lothian
are Christian Scientists. Hoover is
Quaker.
Once there were five Soviet field
mafshals. Stain shot three of them,
and then there were two. Now there
are five again, with special new gold
and platinum badges: Voroshilov,
Budenny, TimoshenkO, Kilik, and
Shaposhnikov. VOrOshilov is Stalin's
pet standby. Budenny is an old Cos
sack top-sergeant, from the erst-
while Czarist army.

JIMMIE:
WaIker

Jimmie Walker was New York
best-dressed and most likeable citi-
zen. He always looked as if he were
sweet 16. He had a marvellous per-
sonality-much better than that of
the slightly rancid Al Smith. Jimmie
was mayor Of the modern Babylon,
and thoroughly enjoyed the post, as
he enjoyed everything else. But he
resigned, under fire, in 1882, and
went to France for while. He was
just as popular after he resigned,
under fire, as he was when he was
elected. That was his personality,
again.
Mayor LaGuardia is very differ
ent type: brusque, anti-suave, not
sport, but positive reformer. Just
the same, LaGuardia has always
had weak spot for Jimmie Walker,
like everybody else. Jimmie was
startled and overjoyed when La
Guardia appointed him to good,
$40, 000-per-year job. This was boss
impartial chairman-of the cloak
and suit industry. LaGuardia said
he had decided the matter, mental
ly, when he was 1000 feet up in the
air-aviating from Washington to
New York. Did Mr.. Roosevelt have
hand in it, as part Of the 1910
campaign racket, wondered the rail-
birds? Anyway, everybody was
pleased.

John Cripps is the son Of Sir Stat

the war is totally Christian. The

The U. S. navy was considering
the purchase of III. Edward Man

It is 267-foot affair, worth mil
lion and a quarter, in anybody's good

hull, and could be used for a naval
training ship. It was launched in
1929, the year of the depression. j.

CHOICE:
Philosophy

When it came to choice between
Stain and Hitler-and it looked as if
many Americans might be faced
with a choice before very long
some conservative Americans pre-
ferred Hitler, while many liberal
Americans preferred Stain. All
commentators were coming to real
ize that the Russo-German pact of
August, 1889, was basically unsound,
politically, economically, and ideo-
logically.
About the only things that Com
munist Russia and Fascist Germany
had in common, were dictatorial
means-to achieve 100 per cent diff
ferent ends. And when it came to
dictatorial means, Daladier's France
and Churchill's England had both
employed them-to uphold democ-
racy. Political experts made the mat
ter clear. Fascism is 'aristocratic,
democracy is 'middle-class, and
Communism is 'proletarian." Any
one Of these three systems can be
upheld by dictatorship, but the two
lunatic fringes lean on dictatorship
more than democracy.

BIG NEWS:
Cincinnati

Here's the big news. It's red-hot.
A Cincinnati girl was going to get
married, for better or for worse. A
disappointed, rejected admirer
rushed into the house, and swiped
her bridal dress. Said he: "Only
over my dead body, will she wed
the groom" The girl was touched.
She said: SIT really shows that
whoosis cares" She was about to
change her mind, and wed the swip-
er, a spirited lad if ever there was
one.
P. S. She changed her mind again
and married the regular groom, and
not the swiper. Women. kind sirs,

RUSSIA:

Russia any better than before. and

A young German pilot was shot
down by British Spitfre, over Eng
land. They put him in a prisoners
train, en- route for the hoosegow.
When the train stopped at siding,
an English lady was collecting vol
unteer funds for more Spitfres. AS
a joke, she pushed her collection box
in to the young German flyer. With
a courteous gesture, the Goering fly
ing-circus man smiled, and contrib
uted the German equivalent of So.
The same day, another German
aviator was shot down over Eng
land. The British victor, so the yarn
goes, flew low, circled lower, and
tossed him package of cigarettes.
The German waved his thanks. The
age of chivalry is not dead. To
make this statement letter-perfect.

true age of chivalry, the knights
were very chivalrous to each 9TH

THE WAR:

England, and more particularly
London, felt the full fury OF total
aerial warfare as Nazi bombers
sWarmed over the English channel
in what seemed like one reverend

(writing under British censorship
declared that the Germans had CIV

detectives before dropping their tons
of high explosives, but merely found
their way over the city and dropped
the bombs without regard for what
they might strike below. Germany
denied these charges, saying that
their airmen were aiming at points
of military advantage to England
and if civilians were killed or hurt
it was mot on purpose" Just how
many persons were killed in these
terrific raids could not accurately

Losing Ways

Rumania was losing territory all
along the line. The Russians had
taken Bessarabia and the Bukovina.
The Hungarians had northern Tran
sylvania, after some rough-housing.
The little Bulgarians took southern
Dobrudja, which they were eminent
ly entitled to, as Churchill, Hitler
and Stain all admitted, for once in
agreement. The red-baiters and Fas-
cists in Rumania were willing to
yield land to Hungary, but wanted
to fight Russia. The pinks and left
lists in Rumania were willing to yield
land to Russia, but wanted to fight
Hungary.
