Rome. Berlin Ready to Sacrifice
Japan to Gain Naval Supremacyin
Mediterranean, War Expert Says

ed that Tsome was counting on
japanese naval aid in the Mediter-
ranean in the event of a European
war.
The negotiations were broken be-
cause of the Russo-German nom
aggression pact, but with the new
alliance now signed, Italy's hope
for naval help from Japan is ris-
ing again In no other way can the
Italians have any expectation OF
trying to force some relaxation of
Britain's domination of the Mediter-
ranean.
Last year the japanese naval
authorities resisted the movement
fo: an entente with Germany and
Italy. 1t must be assumed that they
have no more desire today to rescue
Italy in the Mediterranean. Any
such enterprise would require the
sending Of so large war fleet to
Europe that Japan's home defenses

U.S.. Guilty ofAct
OF War, Declares
Italian Newspaper
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD

ROME, S<pt. 30. Up) : Tho
most widely circulated newspaper
in italy, the authoritative Corriere
Della Sera of Milan, today charge
Cd that United States aid to Great
Britain constituted IAN act of
war;.
The newspaper charged that
President Roosevelt was employing
hypocritical tactics in an effort to
win a third term in the White
House and that his promises to
keep the United States out of war
were pure electoral tactics.
The attack conceded with the
return here of Count Galeazzo
Ciano, foreign minister, from Ber-
lin where he signed the Berlin
Rome-Tokyo military alliance. Ra-
mon Serrano Suner, Spain's special
envoy, is expected here shortly, pos
sibly to negotiate new axis agree
ment establishing Spain's place in
the new axis order.
The newspaper commented On
the deal whereby the United States
gave Britain SO over-age destroyers
in return for western hemisphere
defense bases and proposals to pro-
vide England with flying fortress
bombing planes.
These Are Acts of War
CThe flying fortresses are long
range bombing planes which easily
could carry out bombing assign
ments in Italy from either British
or Egyptian bases)
Now it's announced" said the
paper, that the United States will
give half its flying fortresses to
Britain. Again the dealer isn't
private citizen but the state. These
acts are more than merely supply
ing other countries with ones own
goods-these are acts of war"
Roosevelt, the newspaper charg-
ed, has played a double game in an
effort to win election. While promi-
sing peace himself, he has sent
William c. Bullitt out
to "terrorize the voters to make
them appreciate the prudent policy
Of the president who promises to
keep the United States out of war"
Bullitt was described as "RooSe-
velt's best friend and also Roose-
velt's informer and the presidents |
eye on Europe"
ITS logical" said the paper, ito
suppose Bullitt doesn't speak cas-
Tally. What is most surprising is
hat he is saying exactly the op-
,osite of what Roosevelt says"

House Committee Approves
Setup Providing For Vote
On Many Amendments

WASHINGTON, April 19.-R-
Legislators demanding sweeping re-
vision of the Wagner act won a
major, preliminary victory today
when the house rules committee
approved procedure under which
the house would have an oppor-
tunity to vote on dozens of amend
ments.
The committee turned down a
plan to preclude consideration of
any amendments other than the
four recently approved by the labor
committee. With only Chairman
SABBATH (D-Ill) dissenting, it voted
to send the labor committees
amendments to the house floor
with the provision that the house
could substitute for them, if it de-
sired, the II amendments proposed
by a majority of the Smith com
mittee - the special committee,
headed by Rep. Smith (D-Va),
which investigated the national
labor relations board. Other revi.
sions also could be offered.
The committees action cleared
the way for consideration of Wag-
ner act changes whenever house
leaders give the word, but when
that would be was in doubt. Act
ing Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex) de-
clined comment. He and other ad-
m~inistration leaders already had
mapped out a full program for next
week, with debate on amendments
to the wage-hour law scheduled to
begin Thursday.
SABBATH was upset by the com
mittee's action which was forced

Debunking The Old
Theory OF Telegony

Are there any biological rea-
sons for believing that it is un-
wise for a man to marry his de.
ceased brothers wife?
This is an old belief, known ir
biology as "telegony." 1t probably
originated from the opinion, com
monty held by animal breeders, that
the father leaves such an indelible
impression on the mother that later
| offspring by a different father will
bear the characteristics of the for
mer sire. Thus, dog breeders pretty
| generally are convinced that a high
tired female who has bone pups tc
an underlined dog is ruined for
breeding purposes, stree she Is IL
able at any time to bear ill-bred
pups.
Many n~aturalists, such as Oar,
| win, Agassiz and Romsnes, sub
scribed to this idea, but Welssmann,
the great research worker on hered-
|ity, said that 'only the confirmation
of the tradition by methodica' In
VeStlgatlOn . COulu Idloo IoieSoh'
to the rank Of a fact" and this dec
laration started experimental IN
vestigation, which proved the fal'
sity of the doctrine.
A famous case was that reported
at the Royal Society by Lord Nor
ton. A chestnut mare, after having
hybrid offspring by a auagga "a
striper horse-like animal of South
+America), produced, by a jul black
Arabian horse, three colts which
showed a number Of stripes. This
case was carefully studied, however,
and it was pointed out that stripes
are not infrequently seen in high
Grade Arabian horses without ad-
mixture of other strains.
Experiments by Ewart and other
biologists have shown in the case
Ct many birds and mammals that
no offspring inherit any Of the
characters from previous mates of
the mother.
There is, therefore, no biologic
reason why a woman should not

Few children live beyond the age
of five without having some irregu.
larlty of the heart.
The form of irr~egularity found in
young people is respiratory irregu.
iarity, in which there is a rhytmic
slowing and acceleration of the
and expiration. 1t may be brought
pulse occurring with inspiration
out with forced breathing, especial
,,ly when lying down.
1t can be noticed up to the age of
Is or a little past. It is practically
never found in those over 20. A
valuable sign is that it disappears
when infection is present. If this
respiratory irr~egularity comes on
after an attack of rheumatic fever,
it is an indication that all effects of
infection have subsidized and it is
safe to allow the patient to sit up.
Thus an irregular pulse may be a
goot thing.
Few people, again, live from the
age of 40 to 60 without having a
form of irregularity Of the heart
which they can feel. 1t comes in
the form of a dropped beat. They
say, "My heart feels as if it had
turned over" or MY heart stops
and seems to stand still for a short
time" 1t is noticeable that this
bothers most when the patient is
quiet, especially after he has re
tired for the evening before going
to sleep.
Usually Not Serious
Although this condition frightens
the owner, it is usually of no sig
nificance or seriousness. It is prob
ably due to an irritable heart and
may be brought on by stimulants
such as tobacco or alcohol.
Probably the best treatment is
some exercise to tire the heart q
little. I know people who are pre-
vented from going to sleep by this
condition, and they always walk
vigorously around the block once OF
twice when they are SO bothered
