threatened possible check to

for Allied aid in the same year.
Except that he worked on a
much larger scale, he did, in

for the allies in World War I. His

was one reason why he sent his
son to college there.
At college he was confronted
with a double handicap-a IA

William, who had made a con-

William was known as big Stet"
while Edward was called Little

Little Stet." however, made q
name for himself, but in an un-
usual way. He became interested
in finding jobs for worthy STU

Mr.. Pratt invited him to study

u. S. and Britain Press
For Action on Balkans

LAKE SUCCESS. Oct. 81 P.-
Britain and the United States
pressed for quick action today to
protect United Nations observers
in the troubled Balkans.
The issue assumed urgency in
the eyes of the Western powers
because of reports that observers
for the U. N. Special Committee
on the Balkans had been fired on
from Albania as recently as Octo-
ber Is.
The British have introduced a
resolution which notes those re-
ports and calls on Albania to make
certain there are no further such
incidents.
Interrupting general debate or
threats to peace in the Balkans
Britain's Hector Mcneil last Sat-
urday asked for immediate con-
sideration Of the resolution. He
was backed by BENJAMIN v. Cohen
of the United States.
Both bowed to Russian insistence
on a postponement when Soviet
spokesmen insisted they had not
had sufficient time to study the
British proposal.
The Russians are expected tc
attempt to stall action again-this
time contending that all proposals
on the Balkans should be taken ur
at the same time-at the end OF
general debate.

Liberals in Colombia
May Appeal 10 u. n.
On Election Violence
BY the Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia, Oct. 81
Plans were being formulated to-
day to bring the question of
mounting political violence in Co.
lombia before a United Nations
agency.
Disorders have swept the coun-
try with the approach of the
presidential election on November
27. Both the Liberals and Con-
servatives have accused each
other of resorting to violence and
bloodshed.
Liberal Party chieftains said
yesterday they would submit a
complaint to the U. N. Commis-
sion on the Rights of Man. They
accused the Conservatives of un-
leashing wave of disorders
which they claimed had deprived
the majority of Colombia's citi-
zens from exercising their funda-
mental rights. A similar COM
plant also may be addressed to
the Organization of American
States at Washington.
The Liberals are threatening to
abstain from voting in the forth
coming election. They cite their
reports of frequent clashes as
proof that the government Of
President Mariana Ospina Perez,
a Conservative, cannot guarantee
a free election.
Unconfirmed dispatches carried
by the Liberal press yesterday
reported that more than 100 per-
sons were killed in an attack by
Conservatives in the department
of Santander Norte. One paper,
Ell TEMPO, said three outlying
sections of the town of Salazar
were completely destroyed by
Conservative attackers"
Dario Echandia has the Lib
eral Party nomination for the
presidency. The Conservative cam
didate is Laureano Gomez.

MISSOURI LAWYER

BY John T. Barker. (Dorrance
& Co.; $780,
Mr.. Barker, now q special as
sistant to Attorney General Clark,
was formerly attorney general Of
Missouri and has had a wide
experience in the practice of law
throughout the State.
The Missouri lawyer who takes
part in politics, as most do, is one
of the best raconteur's of the
country. General Barker-the title
is a shortening of attorney general
shows he is no exception as he
tells Of cases at the bar and Of the
persons he has known either by
tradition or by personal acquaint-
ance.
He makes his homdin Washing
ton at the Wardman Park Hotel.
Looking back to June. 1898, when
he was licensed to practice, he says
he believed that the privilege to
practice law was the greatest honor
that can be conferred upon any
one. And he is still Of that opin-
ion. F. p. D.
