" ' I H I ? 1^ News Keview of Current Events the World Over LaGuardia Elected Mayor of New York, Tammany Being "Destroyed" Again?Prohibition Voted Out of the Constitution. By EDWARD W. PICKARD FIORELLO H. LAGDARDIA, dy namic and radical Republican, is the mayor-elect of New Tork, and Tammany has been "smashed" once more ? for how long no one knows. The fusion candidate easi ily defeated Joseph V. McKee, recovery nom inee, and Mayor John P. O'Brien, Tammany Democrat, who ran in that order. Because McKee had the open and vigorous backing of Postmaster James Va.lnn ..-V.,, I.. 1 .1. i ai icjr, ??uu 13 uum F. H. national and New LaGuardia York state Democrat ic chairman, the Republicans claimed that the result was a great victory for their party and a slap at the Roose velt administration. The truth Is that It was rather a slap at Farley and machine politics In general as well as representing a revolt against the Tam many regime. Tammany Hall is furious and an In ternecine war has broken out In the organization. Boss John F. Curry, it was expected, would be asked to re linquish his leadership, and he antic ipated this with a demand that Far ley be replaced as state chairman, ac cusing him of disrupting the Demo cratic party In the city. His attack was directed, also, against Edward J. Flynn, secretary of state and Bronx Democratic boss, and lnferentially against Alfred E. Smith, who had de clined to speak for O'Brien. Municipal elections were held In many other cities, and some of them were almost as interesting as that in the metropolis. The Republicans and Democrats broke about even, and one city, Bridgeport, Conn., elected a So cialist mayor. Democrats made striking gains In upstate New York. Buffalo elected a Democratic mayor for the first time since 1914; Rochester went Democrat ic for the first time in 30 years; Poughkeepsle, nearest city to the home of President Roosevelt, named a Dem ocrat for the first time In four years; Cortland went Democratic for the first time since Its incorporation 33 years ago; Lockport also went Democratic for the first time In 16 years. In Jamestown, a thirty-four-year-old newspaper reporter, Leon F. Roberts, unseated Samuel A. Carlson, who has been mayor 24 years. Pittsburgh, Pa., upset the Mellon Republican machine, electing William McNair, a youthful newcomer in poli tics who was backed by the Roose velt Democrats. Frank Couzens, Re publican, son of Senator James Couz ens, won the mayoralty of Detroit. The Republicans also won in Cleve land, electing former Gov. Harry L. Davis. In Boston a Democrat, Fred erick W. Mansfield, was chosen mayor. 'TVHIRTY-SEVEN states?one more than necessary?having voted for prohibition repeal, the Eighteenth amendment Is knocked out of the Constitution. The dry regime comes to an end on December 5, when the thirty-sixth state convention, that of Maine, meets to ratify the action of the voters. The latest states to go on record for repeal were Ohio, Pennsyl- [ vania, Utah and Kentucky. On the i same day North and South Carolina rejected the repeal amendment, being the first commonwealths to go dry. This result was ascribed to the fact that the prohibitionists made a lively campaign, while the repealists were Inactive. The vote of Utah was some what of a surprise, for the Mormon church had urged all its members to vote for retention of the Eighteenth amendment. Obviously, many of them disregarded this monition. 1 scXTEVER again will we call olT this 1 ^ ' strike until our demands are I met by the federal government," de clared Mllo Reno, president of the Na- ' ?*-? tinnnl Farmers' Holi- I ' day association. Whereupon the "em- 1 battled farmers" of the Middle West re sumed their picketing 1 with renewed vigor, determined to prevent the moving of pro duce to the markets of the leading cities, i Reno and his follow- < nan ?t-a?a onro it rwl hp- t jk era ncic cuiu6vu ?? w. N. Peek canse president Roosevelt, on the advice of George N. Reek, head of the agricultural adjust ment administration, and Secretary Wallace, had rejected the price fixing plan offered by Governori Herring, Olson, Langer, Schmedeman and Ber ry. And those governors were no less Irate when they left the White House. They declared their attempt to bring about complete regimentation of agri culture was a complete failure and that they were disappointed and dis gusted. They freely predicted "a great deal of disturbance" unless mar- j ket prices go up on this year's crops. I and the farm strikers saw to it that | this prediction was Justified. Mr. Roosevelt, in a written opinion based on Mr. Peek's advice, said that the governor's plan amounted substan tially "to the licensing of every plowed field, and the marketing by a ticket punch system of ah grain and live stock; and he then went on to de nounce severely such a scheme of regi mentation. The effect of the adoption of the plan, he said, "even if success ful in the Midwest, might be that the very states the governors are trying to help might be left holding the bag while other states expanded produc tion. "These questions are wholly aside from grave problems of legality un der existing law and questions as to raising the necessary funds.** The governors were called upon, in stead, to give full co-operation to the program of benefits and curtailed pro duction already under way. REFUSAL of the Greek Court of Ap peals to permit the extradition of Samuel Insull is held by the United States government to be "utterly un tenable and a clear s Tiolation of the Amer- | lean-Helenlc treaty of | extradition signed at | Athens on May 6, ( 1931." Therefore, by direction of the State I department, Lincoln I MacVeagh, American I minister to Greece, de- | lirered to Foreign * Minister Maximos In ? ?i. - i Aniens a strung note j denouncing the treaty. Lincoln The document ex- MacVeagh pressed the "astonishment" of the government In Washington at the news that the Greek authorities had again declined to honor the request for Insult's extradition, and continued that this made It apparent that the treaty is now entirely useless. The Greek government could get out of the embarrassing situation, If It so desired, by Inviting Insull to leave the country within a stipulated time. By law the minister of the interior may deport any person 'If undesirable for social or public reasons." However, Insull's lawyer told the fugitive the government could not remove him without casting a slur on the Greek judiciary. Then, too, the Venizelists, opponents of the present regime, would attack it and probably over throw it if Insull were deported. HEXRY FORD has started to lay off his men to bring their work ing hours under the 35-hour code max- j Imum, according to his announced nlan His nlnnfs had I been operating on a 40-hour basis. The re covery officials were astonished by this move, and General Johnson tried to avert it by offering to "con sider an exception" in , Ford's case, without avail. Observers watched this renewal of the Henry Ford prolonged NRA-Ford controversy with keen Interest. They said the Ford statement that the layoff was solely to meet NRA requirements was another Indication that the manufacturer Intends to com ply with the letter of the law while at variance with the spirit of the pro gram. The real showdown will come later. It was predicted, over the collective bargaining provisions of the code. The striking tool and die makers jf the Detroit area were returning to work in large numbers under agree ments with employers that were nego tiated by the regional labor board. The terms were not made public. WORK for 4,000,000 persons now on the relief rolls, through the mmedlate expenditure of $400,000,000 >f public works money is contemplat ed in a new program announced by [?resident Roosevelt. Through a new 'civil works administration" under Federal Relief Administrator Harry L Hopkins, the President announced, :he government will provide the flnan :lal backing for new federal, state and local projects of a "noncompetitive" nature. Mr. Hopkins asked governors, mayors and other officials to make their suggestions for projects at once. At his headquarters It was explained that the projects might Include levees, the landscaping and beautifying of highways, destruction of breeding grounds for germ-carrying insects, sanitation projects and similar "use ful" works. CHICAGO'S wonderful exposition, A Century of Progress, has come to an end, but It will be reopened on June 1, 1934, bigger and better than ever. This welcome news was announced by President Rufus C. Dawes, who said the managers were acting In harmony with the requests of President Roose velt and of many Individuals and or ganizations. The fair next year will have more exhibitors and conees sionnaires, and the lighting and dec orative sch%me will be revamped. All the comfort facilities will be free, and stricter control will be kept over shows and concessions. IN A new effort to relieve the hog farmers of the corn belt, the gov ernment announced the prospective ex penditure of another $30,000,000 In the open market purchase of pork prod ucts for distribution to needy families. The program will supplement the $350,000,000 corn-hog production con trol campaign recently Inaugurated. In all some 300,000,000 pounds of pork products are to be purchased, the administration stated. The poundage of finished products will represent ap proximately 3,000,000 live hogs. It was said, and together with reductions ex pected under the corn-hog program and those actually effected In the pre vious emergency hog buying cam paigns will bring the total reductions in hog marketings for regular com mercial disposal during the current year to about 10,000,000 head. ??? rt EVOLT flared again in Cuba, part of the army and the A B C se cret organization undertaking to onst President Ramon Grau San Martin. Military planes attacked the presi dential palace with machine gun Are and troops in the various barracks In Havana revolted. The fighting In the capital was bloody and lasted for many hours. Loyal troops under Col. Fulgencio Batista, chief of staff, re captured some of the strong points from the rebels, and the colonel nego tiated a brief armistice. The rebellion started Immediately after President Grau announced that he would not consider the demands of the opposition factions that he re sign. Instead he Issued a decree en dowing himself with autocratic pow ers similar to those which made pos sible former President Machado's sup pression of all opposition during his eight years' regime before he was sent Into exile last August. Nadir shah ghazi, king of Afghanistan, was assassinated by a traitor, according to a formal an nouncement, and was succeeded on the throne by his son, Mohammed Zahir Shah. Nadir Shah was fifty three years old and became king In 1929 when he drove from the throne the bandit leader, Bacho Sachao, who had ousted King Amanullah. WHEN GEN. ITALO BALBO was preparing to lead his epochal mass flight of Italian planes from Rome to Chicago, friends warned him that Its success would , mean his own relega tlon to obscurity, be cause of Mussolini's determination to keep others out of the lime light This has now come to pass. Balbo. who was air minister, has resigned and has been made governor ( of Libya, the colony I uu nit: uuriu cuaat ui Africa. There had been G*n- Balbo mystery almost ever since Balbo re turned from his triumphant flight con cerning his standing with Mussolini. He was received as a hero at Rome and made air marshal. Then he dropped out of the news completely, and It was rumored he was In disfavor. The dnce has reorganized his cabi net according to a plan formed long ago. He has himself assumed the portfolios of the navy and aviation. In addition to the five offices be already held. MAXIM LITVTXOV, Soviet envoy, enjoyed several days of pleasant and profitable conversation in Wash ington with President Roosevelt, Sec retary of State Hull and other offi cials. It was expected that the Presi dent would announce very soon that ambassadors were to be exchanged between the Cnited States and Rus sia, for the negotiations were pro ceeding smoothly. THE Philippines legislature has giv en the women of the Islands the | right to vote, this being the first in stance of the extension of the fran chise to women In an Oriental coun try.

To Destroy Submarines From Air THK British royal air force has developed a flying boat that is expected to destroy submarines, for it will carry the quick Are gun here illustrated. The gun fires 1% pound projectiles at the rate of 100 rounds a minute with an ef fective range of 1,500 yards. It Is mounted on a rotary turret In the forward cockpit of the plane. How the heavy recoil of the gun is absorbed Is the secret of the air force. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS JERRY PLANS A HOUSE FOR REDDY AS REDDX FOX trotted away In the moonlight with never a glance back at the Smiling Pool and Jerry Muskrat he grinned. "He almost for got himself," he muttered. "In another minute he would hare been out on the bank. If he had he would hare been in my stomach by this time." Reddy chuckled. "I wonder how he came to wake up so suddenly. Well, I don't mind. I didn't expect to g him the very first time. Til call a few times and after a while he'll forget all about who I am." Promptly at the appointed time the next evening Reddy appeared on the "He Almost Forgot Himself," He Muttered. 1 bank of the Smiling Pool. Jerry was swimming. "Hare yon got my new house all planned for me?" asked Reddy softly. Jerry stopped swimming and glanced toward the bank where Reddy sat. He was looking Just as handsome and Just as pleasant as he had on the night be fore. Jerry wouldn't have had Reddy know It for the world, but he had thought of little else but that house since Reddy had left the night before. You know Jerry dearly loves house building and planning. "I've thought about It a little," he confessed. "Of course you know my house hasn't any entrance except from i underneath by way of a tunnel and that Is what makes it so safe," he con tinued. Reddy nodded. "I know,** said he. "but of course my house, being on dry land, will have to have an entrance in the side." "No, it won't!" cried Jerry Muskrat, drifting in close to the bank. "No, it won't! A doorway in the side would let the cold air in and make it too cold for comfort. Besides, any one who came by could stick his head in. You can have your entrance from a tunnel Just the same as I do, only your tunnel will be wholly in the ground and not under water!" Jerry was getting excited as he talked, and he drifted nearer and near er the bank. "You have an under ground house now, haven't you?" he went on. Reddy nodded. "I certainly have, and it's a good one," he replied. "Then all you've got to do is to dig a tunnel from that up to the new house we will build, and there you are!" cried Jerry triraphantly. "Jerry, you certainly are a wonder!" cried Reddy, pretending to be lost in admiration. "I never, never in the world would have thought of that. No sir, I never would. I notice that you said the house that 'we' will build. I'm so glad you've decided to help me. I can't tell you how grateful I am." "But I didn't say I would help you build it!" cried Jerry, backing away in sudden alarm. "I meant that I would help with the plans, and by tell ing you how." "Of course," replied Reddy. "Flow stupid of me not to understand. Now what do you suggest I build that house of?" Jerry drifted nearer before he re plied. ?. 1533. by T. W. nunrera.?WNU Service. WHAT HE IS By DOUGLAS MALLOCH MAN will be Judged by what he la. Not what he has. Each coin of his, If riches are his only goal. May make him poorer in his soul. If he shall prize Alone the things That money buys Or money brings. He may be poorer far than those Who still find pleasure In a rose. Unless that pleasure has remained. More be has lost than he has gained. J Man will be Judged by what's within. Not what he wears. An act of sin Makes rags of riches. Deeds of good Make rich the poorest brother's hood. The world thinks more Of wealth, of style. But only for A little while. And then decides the soul to scan, Judge not the make-up, but the man.

CuBP*C?ClOSW I k I SHORT SHOTS TO GREEN ON SHORT shots where the yard age to be traversed Is around 30 to 50 yards with traps ahead, a pitch shot is needed. Due to the brevity of the distance one Is unable to hit hard enough to obtain bnckspin and a sldespin has to be employed to bring the ball to a str-? quickly. Stewart Maiden's method of playing this shot is to have the ball opposite the left foot and avoid a to" liberal turn of the hips so that the cldb will not travel too much Inside the line of play. The toe of the club, as illus trated above, is turned to the right slightly which opens up the blade and this comes onto the ball from the out side on the downstroke. The spin thus applied will bring the ball to a stop quickly. On occasions where a pitch and run shot Is desired, no bunkers looming Immediately ahead, the ball Is played off the right foot and club face closed. Here the hip turn. Is great er with the hands inside the Imagin ary line to the hole. ?. 1*3J. Hell Syndicate WNT S?rrft?. Civet Cat for Sport* Civet cat Is newly important for sports.
