News Review of Current Events the World Over Heavy Fighting Reported as Greek Government Seeks to Put Down Insurrection?Senator Robinson Scores Huev Long in Heated Senate Session. I By EDWARD W. PICKARD <?>, Western Newspaper Union. THE Greek government Is making a grim effort to stamp out the fast growing revolt which started In Crete and has spread to the mainland. Greek government p 1 a n e s bombed the home In Crete of former Pre mier Eleutherios Venl zelos, and also struck at five naval vessels manned by r e b e Us standing off the shore of Crete. Venizelos is openly heading the forces of sedition, and, reports say, has seized $1,000,000 from the C a n e a treasury to finance the revolt. Ex-Premier Venizelot Martial law prevails throughout the country; rail, telephone and telegraph ic communications have been cut off and normal activities suspended. Heavy fighting with serious losses on both sides have been reported in the Struma valley, and in the Macedonian city of Kavalla. Fear has been ex pressed that the country will be plunged Into a factional civil war of unestimated proportions. The govern ment has offered amnesty to the rebel troops if they capitulate peacefully. Saloniki harbor has been heavily mined in preparation for an attack by the rebel fleet, and land batteries have been reinforced by heavy caliber naval guns. Eight additional classes have been called to the colors as wounded troops pour Into Saloniki from the bat tlefront. The government claims 100, 000 loyal troops, 00 airplanes and a quantity of heavy motorized artillery are ready, although good part of this equipment is said to be old and defec tive. A report from Alexandria claims that Tenizelos has abandoned Crete and fled toward Egypt. rxiMTNCTIVE King Prajadhlpok of A-' Siam has renounced bis throne, re linquished his claims to being known as "brother of the moon and possessor of 24 umbrellas," assumed the simpler. If still unpronounceable name of Prince Sukhodaya, and retired to the simple life of an English country gentleman By his action, the ex-monarch set a rec ord, for it Is probably the first time in history that a ruler has abandoned power because his government rejected his demands for greater freedom and democratic control for his people. "My intention that the people should have a real voice In the policy of the govern ment has been ineffective." the ex-king wrote in his message of abdication. "Since 1 realize that now there is no longer any way of my assisting or pro tecting the people in the future, I here by renounce all rights which I had as king or rights of succession, but 1 re serve the rights which I had formerly enjoyed before accession to the throne." Prince Ananda, nephew of Prajadhl pok, has accepted the throne, reports state. The prince, now eleven years old. is attending school In Lausanne. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, Jur ist scholar, soldier and gentleman, is dead. Two days before his ninety fourth birthday, the beloved "great dis senter succumoea to the ravages of pneu monia. The next day In the somber Supreme court chamber, the court led by Chief Jus tice Hughes paid trib nte to the man whose career, he said, had been one of "unique distinction." Justice Hughes' voice choked as he spoke. The grind of legislation and the disoutes of the dav Oliver W. Holmes were forgotten in congress as both the house and senate paused while glowing words were said In memory of the re tired justice. Funeral services were held in Washington, attended by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and mem bers of the Supreme court. After the ceremony, Holmes was given military burial In Arlington National cemetery, as befitted one who had served bis nation so gallantly. Justice Holmes was born in Boston, the son of the noted American poet of the same name. He entered Harvard and was in bis senior yaar when the Civil war began. He enlisted as a lieutenant, was pro moted to a captaincy and retired with the rank of colonel. He was wounded three times. After the war he returned to school and obtained his law degree. In 1882, Holmes was elevated to the Supreme court of Massachusetts, and in 1902, President Roosevelt appointed him to the United States Supreme court On October 4, 1928, when he was eighty seven years old, he became the oldest man ever to sit on the bench of the Supreme court He re tired In January, 1932. SENATE administration leaders have decided to virtually abolish NKA when it expires In June, and set up In its place a plan of self-government In business, eliminating present coer cive measures, and giving over admin istrative functions of the new program to the federal trade commission. Thus would end one of the administration's most spectacular and far-reaching ex periments. In its general form, the plan calls for permission to Join In vol untary codes regulating trade practices and eliminating unfair competition. Price fixing will be outlawed. Busi ness and industry will agree to mini mum wages and maximum hours, and only when these standards are violated, can the government apply compulsory codes. THAT "ancient repository of dig nity," the senate, has been treated to an exhibition of personalities, vitu peration, barely avoided fistic encoun ters, ana general up roar centering about Senator Long that should set a record for even that august body. Goaded into ac tion by the almost daily tirades of Lou isiana's Kingfish, ma jority leader, Joe Rob inson \ of Arkansas | arose white with rage and let loose a casti gation designed to hlnsf thp I rrpnrpesi hla Senator Robinson Long Into submission. Robinson ap pealed to ihe senate to assert itself and put Long, whom he called "a mad man," in his place. Vice President Gar ner and more than a dozen senators shook hands with Robinson when he closed, and galleries applauded until the chair threatened to clear them. It had no perceptible effect on Long other than to cause him to rush back to the senate chamber, and renew his attack on Robinson. The next day Huey precipitated an other verbal free-for-all when he re sumed his one-man campaign against Postmaster General Farley and the New Deal in general Long charged that Farley was instrumental in quashing an indictment against a bank in which Norman Davis, "ambas sador at large," was interested. For his trouble Kingfish received a liberal supply of ridicule. He also sent to the senate post office committee a let ter In which the accusation was made that Farley is "profiting" from 25 busi ness concerns in New York city, in volving violation of four criminal statutes. When questioned. Farley said he had no statement to make. SCLAY WILLIAMS, head of the ? NRA, tendered his resignation to the President, starting what is ex pected to be a wholesale housecleaning of the recovery administration's high command. Chairman Williams ex plained his action by saying that he had to return to his Job as head of one of the country's largest tobacco companies. Three of the four remain ing members of the board, Arthur D. Whiteside, Walton Hamilton, and Sid ney Hillman. are known to have their resignations ready. \yfONEY markets of the world react ^ * ed violently after President Roose velt declared his administration would seek further Jacking up of commodity prices. Stocks rallied In New York, government bonds sagged, and the fall ing British pound rose four cents. The President hurriedly Issued another statement explaining that his advocacy of higher prices did not mean further I devaluation of the dollar, at least nor for the present The first statement was made by the President at a press conference when he was asked if he believed prices had now risen sufficient ly to warrant stabilization. He re plied that they had not; that they were still too low in relation to debts. ITALIAN government officials state that nearly 1,000 aviators and sev eral squadrons of planes have sailed for East Africa, and that a second wave of troops has been started to Join the 20,000 already massed in So maliland. General Grazlana has been i named governo* ?of- Somaliland and commander of the troops. THERE seams to be no doubt about the "pink slip" clause In the in come tax law being repealed. Over whelming sentiment for Its abolish ment has been expressed in both houses of congress, and the house ways and means committee has already approved the resolution offered by Chairman Doughton. Polls taken disclose a heavy majority in the senate favor repeal, and both Democratic and Republican | house leaders are pledged to lend their strength to prompt passage of the measure. Congressional decision on the "pink slips" must be registered before March 15. ? DONALD RICHBERG, executive dl rector of the National Emergency j council, and one of the closest advisers of the President, "guaranteed" that there would be no monetary Inflation as long as Franklin D. Roosevelt Is Presi dent. His statement came In answer to a questioner at a lecture in Boston. "If we are to as sume that President Roosevelt will be Pres ident for the next six years, I can tell you this: I can guarantee there will be no infla Donald Richberg tlon while Franklin D. Roosevelt is President,** Richberg said. He dodged further discussion of the subject, and refused to comment as to what was being done by the gov ernment internationally and national ly on monetary policies. However. Ricbberg did touch on the Townsend plan for payment of $200 monthly to all persons over sixty. He said: "If everybody over sixty is to get $200 a month, you can be certain it is going to come out of the pockets of everybody between eighteen and sixty. "When those under sixty have ar rived at the unselfish attitude where they are ready to dig to pay every body over sixty the $200 a month there will have been a tremendous spread of real Christianity. But the government can't get the money out of thin air.'* Richberg flatly denied that the gov ernment was -issuing baby bonds be cause bankers had refused to lend the government money, and asserted that several billion dollars more could be borrowed without'endangering nation al credit. THE American Federation of Labor proposes to find out immediately what are its chances of fully organiz ing the workers employed in the auto mobile industry?and if Doctor YVol man's figures are correct it is likely the federation is doomed to be greatly dis appointed. The method adopted is the , calling of a secret strike vote among i members of the 176 federation locals In the industry. Organizer Francis J. Dillon explained this did not neces sarily mean there would be a strike, only the federation's national officers having j authority to order such action. "Now i3 the time to find out, once and for all," he said, "whether the workers in the automobile industry want the American Federation of La bor. If they want the union, we will find It out through these strike votes. If they don't, well . , The automobile*Industry is in the midst of the busiest season It has had since 1930. The great majority of its workers are not in the federation ranks and probably would hot strike; but its plants could be seriously crippled by strikes in allied Industries. Perhaps the American Federation of Labor leaders have some way of explaining how all this would help on the cause of na tional industrial recovery. SECRETARY OF STATE COR DELL HULL encountered his third suc cess in carrying out his policy of re storing foreign trade by concluding a series of reciprocal agreements with other nations, when a trade treaty with Belgium wns signed. Although not entirely satisfactory to Secretary Hull, It was nevertheless a step along the way. The Belgians gave us a tar iff or quota concessions on a number of our exports. Including automobiles and parts, calculating machines, radi os. grapefruit,. pears, oatmeal and corn starch. We cut tariffs on plate glass, glass sand. Iron and steel mill products, linen fabrics, lace and ce ment Reciprocal agreements have been previously concluded with Cuba and BrazIL THE United States and Great Brit ain remain unconvinced of Japan's high purpose in China, although Eiji Amau, foreign office spokesman, de clared that Japan is not trying to per suade China to leave the league, and is not urging China to dismiss foreign advisers. He also insisted that no at tempt is being made to force China into an Asiatic bloc in return for financial assistance. In Washington. William I'helpa, acting secretary of state, and Sir Ronald Lindsay. British ambassador, went Into conference. Twenty-fonr hours later it was an nounced from London that Great Brit I ain together with the United States. ; France and Japan was -exploring pra : posals" to help China financially. Develops New Vaccine for Bacterial Diseases ONE of the most promising develop ments in recent years in the held of vaccine therapy was recently an nounced by the University of California on the basis of research results obtained by Dr. A. P. Krueger, associate profes sor of bacteriology. Professor Krueger has developed a mechanical method of preparing vaccines or antigens for the treatment and prevention of bacterial diseases. Ordinarily vaccines contain the cell contents of disease bacteria which have been killed by heat or chemicals. It is Doctor Krueger's conclusion that the consistent failure of many of these preparations is due to alterations in the protein of the bacteria induced by the heat or chemicals used to kill them. To eliminate this undesirable reaction he has perfected a mill, consisting of a cylinder containing several thousand stainless-steel ball-bearings which kills bacteria without denaturation of the protein within them. The effectiveness of this method of preparing vaccines has been clearly demonstrated in the treatment of whooping cough and of sinus infections. During a recent epidemic of whooping cough 232 children were treated with the Krueger vaccine and 163 with another type of vaccine. Only 47 per cent of the children receiving the old type of vaccine showed fair or good result^, while the Krueger pertussis antigen, as it is called, brought about good or fair results in 90 per cent of the cases. Tests of the similarly prepared antigen for sinus Infections have brought about cures or satisfactory improvement In 90 per cent or more of three series of 43, 62 and 30 cases. Next Doctor Kruegor will test the new type antigen on common colds. I . BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON VV. BURGESS I ? DANNY MEADOW MOUSE IS IN A TIGHT PLACE Danny meadow mouse was having a good time on the bank of the Smiling Pool. He laughed at Grandfather Frog's fear that he was taking a foolish risk. It was true that he was a long way from home with Its many secret hiding places which made it comparatively safe in times of danger. But Danny wasn't worrying. As he had told Grandfather Frog, he doesn't believe in worrying until there is something to worry about. So, this being the first time he had visited the Smiling Pool for a long time, he made the most of it One of the first things he did was to get a good long drink. You see, there had been no rain for a long time, and Dan ny had had hard work to keep from j being thirsty most of the time. Then I lie asked Grandfather Frog for all the news of the Smiling Pool?how his big | cousin, Jerry Muskrat, was getting on; I what Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter and Spotty and Turtle had been do i ing; how large a family Mr. and Mrs. Redwing had raised, and if Rattles the Kingfisher fctlll came fishing every day in the smiling pool? Grandfather Frog answered all his questions and then declared that he had talked enough for one morning. Finding that Grandfather Frog really meant what he said, Danny first hunt ed for something to eat, and then find ing a comfortable place on the hank of the Smiling Tool, decided to take a nap. Now Just by chance, that very morn ing Reddy Fox decided that he, too, would visit the Smiling Fool. Reddy likes a tender young frog for a change In his bill of fare once in a while. So about the time! Danny Meadow Mouse decided to take a nap Reddy Fox start ed toward the Smiling Pool. As he drew near It he crouched low In the grass and stole forward very carefully and stealthily, doing his best to keep as much out of sight as possible. Near er and nearer he crept to the bank of the Smiling Fool, and It Just happened that he was headed straight for the spot where Danny Meadow Mouse was napping. Now Reddy wasn't thinking of Dan kny Meadow Mouse. He was thinking of young frogs. Rut as he drew near the bank of the Smiling Pool a care less Merry Little Freeze brought to him the scent of Danny Meadow Mouse. It tickled Reddy's nose. It made him forget young frogs. A fat meadow mouse would he much better eating than a young frog. Reddy became more careful than ever. He crept along almost on his stomach in the direction from which that scent came. All the time Danny Meadow Mouse was having pleasant dreams In that comfortable place on the banks of the Smiling Fool, wholly unconscious that danger was any where n,ear. ?. T. W.

Here Is the Ice-box cooky which may be kept many days and when a tin of fresh cookies is wanted, slice off a few, put them In the oven and bake them as brown as you like. Ice Box Cookies. Take one cupful each of butter, brown and granulated sugar, two eggs, one teaspoonful each of salt and soda, one cupful of nutmeats, one teaspoon ful each of claond and vanilla extract and four and one-fourth cupfuls of flour. Cream the butter, add/the su gar. eggs and other Ingredlonp. Roll Into two rolls and let stand on a cloth in a pan placed In the Ice box. The cloth keeps the dough from flattening and sticking to the pan and thus losing its round shape. Slice very thin, dec orate with half a nut meat, a raisin ! or cherry as one's taste suggests. Another food so much liked in all our homes, is fresh rolls. It takes time to prepare a light and crisp rolL Here Is a recipe which will keep for a week or longer in the ice chest and a pan of biscuits may be baked any time one cares to serve them: Ice Box Rolls. Dissolve two compressed yeast cakes In one-fourth of a cupful of warm wa ter, adding two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Add two tablespoonfuls of shortening, one tablespoonful of salt, one-half cup ful of sugar to a pint of boiling water. Beat two eggs and mix all together with four cupfuls of flour. Beat well, then add three and one-half cupfuls more of flour, mix well with a spoon but do not knead. Set away in the re frigerator until the next day at noon. when It will be ready to use. Handle the rolls quickly, brush with melted lard or sweet fat when they are placed in the pan. Let stand until more than double their bulk; keep covered while rising In a warm place. With these two mixtures in the Ice box, one may be ready for the unex pected and need not worry. O. Western Newspaper Union.
