News Review of Current Events the World Over President Raps Tugwell for Budget Prediction?WPA Job Program Moves Rapidly?Farmers Indorse Corn-Hog Control for 1936. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western Newspaper Union. REXFt >RD G. TUGWELL, undersec retary of agriculture and once con sidered head man of the "brain trust," made a speech at Los Angeles the otner day mat caned forth a sharp rebuke from President Roose velt. Addressing a Democratic gathering, Tugwell asserted that the administration could satisfy every humanitarian demand and still balance the budget in 1938. Mr. Roosevelt, In a press conference, scolded the newspa R, G. Tugwell pets ivi jiuuuiig tviiai uc cancu iiwj stories" and went on to declare that Tugwell's assertion was almost as un founded as the predictions thrown out by many political observers that the budget probably would never be bal anced again. Tugwell's statement wasn't quite as "wild" as the news paper stories, he remarked, because Tugwell knew a little more about the budget than the newspaper men. The President said he and his ad visers were about to make a study ot the financial situation, and that until the budget is finally drafted about the first of the year not even he knows what shape it will take. Every effort, he said, would be made to hold the regular government departments down to the figures of this fiscal year, but he would make no predictions as to emer gency expenditures. J cms for 3,500,000 needy persons by November 15, and an end of the dole by December 1. That was the forecast made by the New Dealers in Washington, and It appeared probable of accomplishment. Officials said states will receive no direct relief al lotments from the government for De cember and that the November grants will be greatly reduced. The employ ment program is a month behind schedule, but is now being carried for ward rapidly. Every state director of the WPa has been given a job goal by Administrator Harry L. Hopkins ind was told by that gentleman: "The responsibility for carrying out these objectives, through providing work on approved projects, rests squarely on you." VEW DEALERS have scored a ma '' inr victory, and are correspond ingly elated. By a majority of some thing like 10 to 1, the corn-hog produc "s uave voted tor a continuance of the "op adjustment through another year. Incomplete returns from the referendum showed that the pro bata was fanwed by ? majority in every one of t!:e 33 states ?rom which votes were received. It is only natural ";at "e should be tleasod with the ap P^rCDt fliinrnrnl ? .1 Chester C. Davis -i-i"ai ui aajusiLueut gi*c" by corn and hog farmers," said Ches C. Davis, AAA administrator, as e hatched the returns come in at Washington. "If the final results bear ??t present indications another volun tary contract will be offered for both : corn and hogs." 1 a formal statement Davis era | i?hasized earlier assurances that the AAA would seek a 23 to 30 per cent ! iDcrease in hog production next year, ^yin? the "need for increasing the Present pork supply of the nation. . . will be kept in mind in plans for the l?*t adjustment contract." POXTiNuiNG the administration's ^ policy of "enabling farmers to Market their crop in a more orderly iashion " Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace announced a corn loan of 45 cents J bushel on the 1935 crop, available December 1 until next July 1. Commodity Credit corporation had already approved this and asked a commitment from the R. F. C. to pro the necessary funds. Wallace estimated that about $150, 1000 would be advanced to corn ??toners under this program. BorroW most ?ijrn the AAA corn-hog con contracts.

I new university in Rome he said: "In the face of an economic siege toward which all civilized people of the world should feel supreme shame, in the face of an experiment which they wanted to test, for the first time, against the Italian people, let it be said: "We will oppose It with our most implacable resistance, with our most firm decision and with our most su preme contempt.*' However, it was announced In Geneva that the duce was willing to negotiate for peace with Ethiopia, and there was a possibility the league would delay for 15 days the application of further penalties. King Victor Emmanuel issued a de cree putting the entire Italian mer chant marine on a war basis. Prime Minister Baldwin's reply to Mussolini's defiance was a blunt as sertion that Great Britain was pre pared to resort to force, if necessary, to carry out the sanctions. Said he: "We mean nothing to the league if we are not prepared in the end, and after grave and careful trial, to take action to enforce its judgments." WHILE the League of Nations was going forward with its plans for the imposition of sanctions against Ita ly, its officials asked the United States government to com ment on this policy, for the attitude of this country is consid ered vital to the suc cess of the program. Secretary of State Hull replied promptly but with extreme cau tion, avoiding com ment on the action taken by the league powers and inferenti ally declining to coop erate in the sanctions. Secretary Hull Aiitr auanci, "Jiwae icuor was uiciaieu by president Roosevelt, was sent to Minister Hugh Wilson at Berne. It only set forth the moves made by the United States under the neutrality act and restated our government's hope for world peace. In press conferences Mr. Hull stressed the fact that this country will continue to move inde pendently to keep free and untangled as President Itooseveit has promised. A MERICAN citizens are not respect jng the embargo on shipments to Italy and Ethiopia to an extent that satisfies the administration. Therefore the "President issued this statement: "In dealing with the conflict be tween Ethiopia and Italy I have car ried into effect the will and intent of the neutrality resolution recently en acted by congress. We have prohib ited all shipments of arms, ammuni tion, and implements of war to the belligerent governments. By my pub lic statement of October 5, which was emphasized by the secretary of state on October 10, we have warned Ameri can citizens against transactions of any character with either of the bel ligerent nations except at their own risk. "This government is determined not to become involved in the controversy and is anxious for the restoration and maintenance of peace. "However, In the course of war, tempting trade opportunities may be offered to our people to supply ma terials which would prolong the war. I do not believe that the American people will wish for abnormally in creased profits that temporarily might be secured by greatly extending our trade in such materials; nor would they wish the struggles on the battle field to be prolonged because of profits accruing to a comparatively small number of American citizens. "Accordingly, the American govern ment is keeping informed as to all shipments consigned for export to both belligerents." Secretary of State Hull issued an other statement calling upon American citizens to desist from trading with either Italy or Ethiopia. Such trade, he declared, was conducted "at the expense of human lives and human misery." EARTHQUAKE tremors that were felt in many localities all the w ay from Spokane and Calgary to New York and Boston were severest In Helena, where at least two persons were killed and many Injured. Nu merous buildings weakened by the for mer temblors in the Montana capital, were thrown down and the property losses were considerable. CONSTITUTIONALITY of tbeGuffey coal act, a highly controversial measure, is to be passed on by the Supreme court. The way was opened when Justice Jesse Adklns of the Dis trict of Columbia Supreme court grant ed to the Carter Coal company a tem porary injunction restraining govern ment enforcement of the act. In allowing the issuance of a tem porary Injunction, Justice Adkins de- j nied another order which would have restrained the government from col lecting the penalty prescribed by the act for noncompliance. He directed that the coal company post a bond of $1,500 a day for ten days to Insure stockholders of the company against a loss through imposition of the pen alty should the act be held constitu tional. T IBERTY League's committee of 58 ' more or less eminent lawyers got into trouble by offering free legal serv ices in anti-New Deal litigation. Some one protested to the American Bar as sociation and that body's grievance committee has been asked for an opin ion on the ethics of the offer. It was reported that the members of the league's committee had been cited for unethical practices, but the bar asso ciation denied this had yet been done. THEBE is no lack of-potential can didates for the Republican Presi dential nomination. The latest boom to be informally launched is for Got. Air m. Landon of Kan sas, often mentioned as a possibility. The other day there was a gathering in Topeka of party leaders, in cluding members of the state committee, state office holders, congressmen and Sen ator Arthur Capper, and after some ora tory they unanimously and enthusiastically in dorsed the ffnrprnnr Gov. Landon fni? tho nnmlna. tion. Landon had not indicated whether lie would be a candidate. If he will, the movement will probably be given formal status at the annual Kansas day dinner in Topeka on Jan uary 29, the seventy-fifth anniversary of the gate's admission to the Union. Tpwo tragic airplane accidents * marked the week in the United States. The huge Boeing bombing plane built for the army, largest land plane in the country, was being tested near Dayton, Ohio, when it fell and burst into flames. Maj. I'. P. Hall, chief testing pilot, was killed and four others were injured. Lieuts. It. K. Giovannoli and L. F. Harman risked their lives to rescue those trapped in the wreck and were themselves pain fully burned. Another Boeing plane, re-built and undergoing tests by the United Air Lines, crashed against a small hill near Cheyenne and the four occupants were hurled to death. HONDURAS suffered one of ft. worst floods in its history. Fully 115 deaths resulted, and the property damage is estimated at $12,000,000, half of it sustained by the United ; Fruit company. Reports of the dis aster reaching Tegucigalpa were meager and vague, and the mortality list may be greatly Increased later. TITANG CHING-WEI, premier of V V China, and two other officials were wounded by an assassin in Nan king. Martial law was declared there immediately. The Rengo (Japanese) News agency, crediting Chinese sources, said the assassin was a member of the central executive committee of the Kuoidfntang (ruling Chinese party). Chinese sources asserted he was a citizen of a foreign power. The Reu ters (British) News agency reported Wang's assailant was a Japanese news paper man. POLITICAL gossip in Washington is that Senator Vic Donahey of Ohio may be invited by the administration to be the Democratic candidate for Vice President next year. Mr. Garner, of course, can have a re-nomination if he reallly wants it. but there is some reason to believe that he would pre fer to retire to private life after nearly forty years of public service. Dona hey's impressive victory over Simeon I-'ess in 1932 and his well known vote getting ability lead some prominent Democrats to think It would be wise to put him on the ticket as Mr. Boose velt's running mate. JIMMY WALKER, former mayor of New York, has ended his three years of self-imposed exile and re turned to the metropolis. Tammany Hall, which "made" him politically, took no part In the welcome accorded him, but enough others joined In the affair to fill seven or eight boats that met the liner Manhattan at quaran tine. These included delegations from the Friars clnb. the Lambs club and the Grand Street Boys' association of which Jimmy was vice president At the docks there was a tremendoui throng to greet Walker and his wife, the former Betty Compton. ? "Jungle Traveler' Is Craft of New Type ONE of the strangest amphibians ever seen was given its final tests re cently on Manhasset bay, at King's Point, Long Island. It is called the "Jungle Traveler" and will be sent to South ; America for use in exploring. It weighs j two tons and has a speed of 15 miles an { hour on land and eight miles on water. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON VV. BURGESS HOW FADDY WARNED LIGHTFOOT TT WAS a queer partnership, that partnership between LIghtfoot and Paddy, but it was a good partnership. They had been the best of friends for a long time. Paddy had always been glad to have Lightfoot visit his pond. To tell the truth, he was rather fond of handsome Lightfoot You know, Paddy is himself not at all handsome. On land he is a rather clumsy looking fellow and really homely. So he ad mired Lightfoot greatly. That is one reason why he proposed that they be partners. Lightfoot himself thought the idea a splendid one. lie spent that night browsing not far from Paddy's pond. With the coming of daylight he lay down under some thick growing hem lock trees near the upper end of Pad dy's pond. It was a quiet, peaceful day. It was so quiet and peaceful and beautiful that it was hard to believe that hunters with terrible guns were searching the Green Forest for beau tiful Lightfoot But they were, and Lightfoot knew that sooner or later one of them would be sure to visit Paddy's pond. So, though he rested and took short nap3 all through that beautiful day, he was anxious. He couldn't help but be. The next morning found Lightfoot back in the same place. But this morning he took no naps. He rested, but all the time he was watchful and Then Paddy Had Divea. alert A feeling of uneasiness pos sessed htm. He felt In his bones that danger In the shape of a hunter with a terrible gun was not far distant But the hours slipped away and lit tle by little he grew less uneasy. He began to hope that that day would prove as peaceful as the previous day had been. Then suddenly there was a sharp rep >rt from the farther end of Caddy's pond. It was almost like a pistol shot However. It wasn't a pis tol shot It wasn't a shot at all. It was the slap of Paddy's broad tall on the surface of the water. Instantly l.lghtfoot was on his feet "He knew just what that meant He knew tha' Paddy had seen or beard or smelted a hunter. If was even so. Paddy had heard 1 I a dry stick snap. It was a very tiny snap but It was enough to warn Paddy. With only his head above the water he had watched in the direction from which that sound had come. Present ly, stealing quietly along towards the pond, a hunter had coine In view. In stantly Paddy had brought his broad tail down on the water with all his force. He knew that Llghtfoot would know that that meant danger. Then Paddy*"had dived, and swimming under water, had sought the safety of his house. lie had done his part and there was nothing more he could do. ? T. W. Burgess.?WNU Service.
