GRAHAM, IN, C., THURSDAY AUGUST 18, 1932. 28. 1 News Review of Current Events the World Over President Hoover Declares Himself for Change in Prohi bition Amendment?Roosevelt Hears Mayor Walker's Defense?Secretary Stimson Angers Japan. j By EDWARD W.^PICKARD PRESIDENT HOOVER opened the campaign for his re-election with hi? acceptance speech, and told the nation that, in regard to the liquor not exactly on the Republican platform but a considerable step ahead of it. lie said the administra tion's efforts to en force national prohi bition had been of no avail because the Eighteenth amend ment itself was a fail ure except in states President wnere me majority Hoover sentiment was actual ly dry. He declared he could not consent either to restora tion of the saloon or to the continu ance of such grave abuses as the speakeasy and the bootlegger which flourish under the amendment There fore, he proposed such modiiicatiou of the prohibition amendment as would return liquor control to the states under federal control that would guarantee the dry states federal aid in keeping out liquor and prevent the restoration of the saloon in the wef states. In substance the position taken by Mr. Hoover on this prohibition prob lem is very close to that of Alfred R. Smith in Jv*2S. It was warinly In dorsed by the Republican senators who consented to talk about it, even by such veteran drys as Fess and Borah. The Republican press gen erally commended It, and Democratic newspapers praised the President for "bravery greater than that of his parly platform." The President's address of course covered practically all the subjects that appear In the Republican plat form and was written with skill. In it he reiterated his stand for free dom In indifetry and commerce as op posed to radical ajid revolutionary proposals, for a protective tariff, for noncancellation of foreign debts, and pledged himself to work for restora tion of prosperity. The notification ceremony took I place in Constitution hall and the speech was heard by 4.000 persons gathered there and by countless mil lions who listened In by radio. The affair was preceded by a garden par ty and buffet luncheon on the White ! House grounds, to which 700 men and women had been invited. Former President Calvin Coolidge was not j there because, as he said, he feared the trip would aggravate the hay fever from which he was suffering. JAPAN, continually on the defensive I concerning her course in Manchuria and extremely sensitive to criticism, whether direct or implied, has been a ,v|?_ I nrouseu m pii-.u cial indignation by I Secretary of Statel Henry L. Stitnson. In I an address before tlie * colincii on foreign re- | latinos in New York | the cabinet oliicer as- i sorted that consulta tion among signatory nations to mobilize "moral disapproval' of acts of aggression is implicit in tne uri- sec'y stimson and Kellogg treaty outlawing war and that a definite pact i providing for such consultation is un necessary. As an example, the secre tary of state referred to the American protest to Japan against hostilities in t'hina. Such a protest wopld have had far less weight, he pointed out, had it not been supported by "the en tire group of civilized nations." The Japanese foreign office took Mr. Stiinson's remarks as'an attack on Ja pan's acts iD Manchuria and cabled I the embassy in Washington for a de- I tailed report of the speech. It was ' believed that formal protest might he j n.'Mile to the United States government. Mayor jamks wai.ker of new j York, appearing before Gover nor Roosevelt in the tatter's office in I Albany, made an impassioned idea . for the right to face and question the witnesses who have accused him and whose testimony before the Senburj committee resulted in the demand that the governor remove him from office. Mr. Roosevelt ruled that the mayor might present any witnesses or evid ence that would contribute to the gov ernors examination of the case. He did not require the proof of Mr. Walker's guilt to be shown by wit nesses, but be did go at once iota cross-examination of the mayor him self. Mayor Walker's answers followed closely his previous defense as given lit his formal answer to the Seabury charges and in his testimony before the legislative committee. He admit ted taking the $26,000 gift from J. A. Sisto, banker interested in taxicah leg islation, but denied he had given of his influence as mayor to obtain the legislation. Answering the charge that he owned securities in a company doing business with the city, in violation of a state law. Walker asserted he knew noth ing about its connection with city contracts. In succeeding sessions of the hearing he continued along the same line, denying all charges of misconduct and defending the acts on which those charges were based. ROY D. CBAPIN. the Detroit auto mobile manufacturer, was sworn in as secretary of commerce to suc ceed Robert P. Lamont, who resigned to become president of the American Iron and Steel institute. As he took office Mr. Chaptn gave expres sion to his optimism, saying: "Naturally, like every other Amer ican. I am gratified hy the unmistakably bet ter tone that now pre vails in our Industries and marts of trade. R. D. Chapin Concerning the future trend. I will not be so bold as to venture prediction now, but one thing is certain?we must all exert ourselves to the utmost striving to strengthen all favorable factors and to make the inevitable turn come as soon and with as much security as possible." Secretary Chapin Is already encour aging the railroads to go ahead with repair and replacement work and find ing money to help them do It; and In co-operation with Secretary of Labor Doak he is working on the plans for spreading employment by decreasing the individual hours of work. FOR about twenty-four hours there was a spectacular attempt at revo lution in Spain by the monarchists who hoped to restore the Bourbons to the throne. The movement was led by Gen. Jose Sanjurjo. known as "the lion of Morocco," and for a time he and his helpers were in control of Seville. But the republican govern ment was apprised of his plans in ad vance and the revolt was speedily squelched mainly by the police. San jurjo himself was arrested as he lied from Seville and was taken to Madrid for trial by court martial, and various others of the former king's military commanders also were apprehended. In Madrid there was little fighting when revolutionists sought to occupy govern ment buildings. The whole affair was a mixture of comedy and tragedy and the net re sult was the burning of many royalists clubs, homes and residences liv the re publicans in several cities, and the prospect of death at the hands of firing squads for the royalist lenders. REWARD for his uniformly suc cessful prosecutions of gangsters and politicians for evasion of the fed eral Income tax has come to George E. Q. Johnson, Cnited Slates attorney In I Chicago. Ue has been I a(ipointed to the fed- J eral District bench by ? President Hoover, and ij probably will be con- ? Armed by the senate | in December with lit- 1 tie opposition. As sue- i I cesser to Mt. John son, t b e President | I named Johnson's able assistant in me in* y. t. v.jonnsor case!. Dwight II. Green, who ha* been solicitor for the bureau of internal revenue and hns conducted many of the trlala institu ted by Johnson. Both the appoint ments were urged by Senators Glenn and Lewis of Illinois. Johnson began his drive against hoodlums and crooked politicians in the fall of 1!OP. first Indicting Italph Capone and Terry Dntggan and Frankie Lake. Other indictments fol lowed, and trials, and Mr. Johnson was successful in sending tha follow ing persons to the penitentiary for evading Income taxes: Al Capone Ralph Capone, Oruggsn, Lake, Jack Guzik, Sam Guzlk.

WHEN the Held and track events of the Olympic games came to a close it was found the United States had won first place by a tremendous milium, r iiikiiiu who second and fireal Britain third. The cli max of this part of the program was the marathon race, which was won by Juan Za bala of Argentina in record breaking time. The second week was given over to all kinrhr of events, mainly In the water, and Helene Helene Madison, the premier Madison woman swimmer of the United States, dis tinguished^""herself again by winning the 100 meters free-style race in the new Olympic time of 1 :G.8. She was first in the fastest field of girl swim mers ever assembled, and every one of them beat the old Olympic record. In other water events the flags of Japan, Holland. Australia and other nations were raised. ALL the neutral nations of Central and South America Joined with the United States in calling on Bo livia to lay down her arms and accept ? 0 .L.

President Daniel Sal amanca's government said it was willing to suspend hostilities pending arbitration. if Paraguay and the President neutral powers would Salamanca consent to the pres ent positions in the Gran Chaco as the basis for negotiations, instead of the positions of the troops on June 1. as stipulated by Paraguay. After June 15 Bolivian patrols captured three Paraguayan outposts. Pacifists in I.n Pa a. Bolivia, who opposed war with Paraguay, were court-inn rtin led and eight ttf them were condemned and shot.

Soon after Wang and his entire cabinet submitted their res ignations. the last to step out being Finance Minister T. V. Soong. Chiang Kai-shek, unlike Wang, still thinks the Sinn-Japanese dispute can be settled by direct negotiations and therefore refuses to take any warlike steps likely to antagonize Tokyo.

The thin* that most perplexes you Mav thus be made quite clear. uOTUFID, st lipid, stupid!" ex ^ claimed Peter Rabbit as he watched Jimmy Skunk out or sight, lie didn't mean Jimmy; he meant himself. "Here 1 have been running my legs off trying to tind the hole of Rattles the Kingfisher without once stopping to think that I never have seen him near the places where I have been looking. Jimmy Skunk is right. He certainly it. The place to look for Rattles Is near water. No one sees him anywhere else except when he is flying across from one body of water to another. Of course If he lives around the water he must have his home near It. That means it is some where along the I.atighing Hiook or to have stayed there in the first place when I asked Grandfather Frog about Hat ties and lie refused to tell me any thing, except that it is fru? that Hat ties makes his home In the ground." So Feter headed for the Smiling Fool once more. When he got iliere he sat down behind the Big Hickory Tree where Grandfather Frog could not see him. Somehow tie didn't want Grand father Fro}; to see him. He knew that Grandfather Frog was stiarp enough to guess Just why he was there, and after what Grandfather Frog had said about minding his own business I'eter didn't feel Just like being seen. So be kept out of sight of the big lily [tad on which Grandfather Frog spends so much of his time. It wasn't long before he heard the harsh rattling noise that Hattles the Kinglistier makes, lie was coming up the Laughing Brook from he low the Smiling Fool. I'eter peeped out from behind the Big Hickory Tree and watched Battles dive Into the Smil ing Fool and come up with a shining little minnow. Instead of Hying over to the Big Hickory Tree and there swallowing the little tlsh, as I'eter so often had seen film do, he turned and flew back down the Laughing Brook vith it. Feter scratched his In- d thought fully. *T wonder," thought he, "if that means that he has some babies at home and is taking the little fish to them. I wonder." The more lie wondered the more likely it seemed. He was still wonder ing when he heard that harsh rattle again, and there was Battles the King fisher flying straight toward him. With a final rattle he perched In the Big Hickory Tree where lie could see over the Smiling Fool. There he wait ed and watched. Feter behind a big hickory tree wnited and watched. Fresently Battles darted out and down, dived Into the ^rolling Fool and came up with anotlu ? little fish. Just as he fore. he paused for a moment In mid air, and flew away down the laughing Brook. Peter's heels fairly Itched to follow along the hank, but he waited and tried to he patient. After a while hark came Battles and did the same thing nil over again. The last doubt in Feters mind van ished. Battles was taking those flsh tn bis children Just as Welcome Hobin takes worms to bis children, am) those children were somewhere down the Laughing Brook, and not so very far Judging by the short time it took Bat tles to go and come. lie, Peter, would gc down the Laughing Brook a little way and hide where he could watch Battles as he passed back and forth. He would find out that secret from Battles himself. So the next time Battles disappeared with a little fish. Peter kicked up his heels and scam- ; pered along the hank down the [jiugh- I Ing Brook to look for a new hiding place. I?. 1831. by T. W. Burgess) ? WNU Bervlct.
