The Alamance gleaner : / VOL. LVIX. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY FEBRUARY 23, 1933. NO. 3. News Review of Current Events the World Over ? Roosevelt Escapes Assassin's Bullets but Mayor Cermak Is Wounded?Senate Adopts Dry Repeal Reso lution by Surprisingly Large Majority. By EDWARD W. PICKARD SIIOT at Ave times by an anarchist In Miami, rresident-Elect Franli ? Iln D. Roosevelt narrowly escaped be ing added to the list of America's Illus trious victims of as ?BHnMHI lOMln, v.,? nna A# I the bullets struck I him, but Major An | ton Certuak of Chi f en go, who was talking ? with Mr. Iloosevelt, was seriously wound ed. Two other men and two women In the throng that was gath ered In Bay Front park to welcome the President-Elect also were hit by the as sassin's bullets and it was reared one or tne women would not survive. Mr. Roosevelt had Just landed after his fishing cruise, had made a brief talk to the thousands in the park and was being greeted by personal friends when the anarchist. Identified as Giuseppe Zan gara of Hackensack, N. J., fired at hiin from a distance of 20 feet. In the great excitement and turmoil Mr. Roosevelt remained calm and insisted on taking Mr. Cerinak to a hospital In his car. He remained over nlgl^ on the yacht Nourmahal and visited the wounded mayor next morning be fore leaving by train for New York. All the world was shocked by the attempted assassination and messages of congratulation on his escape poured in on Mr. Roosevelt, one of the first received being from President Hoover. Mrs. Roosevelt heard the news as she returned home from a club where she had made an address. Her only com ment oh learning that her huslmndf was not Injured was: "I am thank ful." She did not change her plans, which took her next day to Dtica to speak at a home and farm week cele bration. Secret service operatives In Miami said Zangara, the assassin, was a mem ber of an anarchist group of Pater son, N. J., and that he declared he had no accomplices, acting entirely on his own initiative. Immediate steps toward his trial were taken, but the authorities were careful to avoid any possible charges that Zangara was be ing "railroaded." BY THE rather surprising vote of (53 to 23 the senate adopted the revised Blaine, resolution submitting repeal of the Eighteenth amendment to constitutional conventions in the states. In this form the measure is almost In accord with the plank of the Democratic platform. It provides for outright repeal except for federal pro tection for dry states against liquor importations. Speaker Garner predicted the reso lution would be speedily accepted by the house. The approval of the Presi dent Is not required; hut It must be ratified by thirty-six states. Voting for the resolution In the sen ate wore 33 Democrats. 20 Republicans and 1 Farmer-Labor! to. Against It were 9 Democrats and 14 Republicans. The Illinois senate passed legisla tion wiping out the state prohibition law and the search and seizure act WHILE Ambassador Sir Ronald | Lindsay was starting back to Washington with the British proposals | for the war debt discussion scheduled for March, Senator Key I'ithnnn Intro V duced a bill that I would seem to have ?? some merit, though mii> gr^1 niay tear It to pieces. The measure would permit Great Britain to make the payment on her debt due in June In silver, and \ this, according to Mr. I'ittman. would oper ate to the advantage or me united Stales; would enaDie England to avoid transfer of gold to meet the next war debt payment and would make possible acceptance by Great Britain of silver in payment of a large sum due froiu India before the June war debt payment. The IMttmnn bill would authorize the acccptar.ce by this government of any sum up to $100,000,000 due from Great Britain 'id silver at current mar ket value. Its purpose was explained as fol lows by Mr. Pittman; "The government of India owes Groat Britain approximately $So,000, ooo It haa been reported with some authority that India desires to pay this debt to Great Britain with silver. The acceptance by the United States of $74,950,000 worth of silver ul the world market price of silver of approximate ly 20 cents an ounce, which Is prob ably lower*than It will ever be again, would not only be profitable to the United States but advantageous to both the United States and Great Brit ain. "Under such a settlement the Unit ed States would receive 290,800,000 ounces of silver nt the present market price of around 25 cents an ounce. Under the provisions of the act our government ont of such silver would coin 74,950,000 standard silver dollars. It would deposit them In the treasury and issue and circulate against them $74,050,000 In silver certlllcntes similar to those now In circulation In the United States. "As It requires only seventy-eight one-hundredths of an ounce of silver In the co!nage"of^standard silver dol lars, there would remain, therefore, in the treasury, In addition to such 74,950,000 standard silver dollars, 241. 839,000 ounces of silver to be held In the treasury as security for the main tenance of the parity of the silver cer tificates so issued." ONE of the eminent men called on to advise the senate finance com mittee, Dr. Herman F. Arendtz, a Bos ton economist, condemning any plan for "Internationally managed cur rency," such as may be expected to be put forth at the coming International economic conference, declared that what we need Is less credit and more hard cash. Silver is the salvation. In this hard money campaign, he n>?in talned. Its remonetlzation would be the engine priming that would. In six months, enable America to sell to the Orient between GOO and 650 million dollars' worth of lumber, wheat, cotton and copper. First of the advisers heard by the committee was Bernard M. Baruch. who Is likely ta be In the Roosevelt cabinet He argued vigorously against currency Inflation and In favor of a speedy balancing of the budget and urged the adoption of a beer tax and the repeal of the Eigflteentb amend ment. He also advised the federal leasing of farm acreage to curtail pro | duction, and this plan was Indorsed by C. C. Teague, former member of tbe farm board. Mr. Teague, asserting that the collapse of the credit struc ture of the country was the fundamen tal cause of the depression, nrged fed eral guarantee of bank deposts, and In this he ha. the full support of Speaker Garner. * George N. Peek, a manufacturer of Moline, III., set forth his objections to the domestic allotment bill, which is doomed to death either In the sen ate or In the White House, and pro posed a modification of the plan whereby curtailment of acreage would come after planting and before bar vest. since "the variation In yield of all growing crops from year to year depends 75 per cent on weather and pests, largely beyond human control, and only 25 per cent on the acreage j planted." DESPITE the efforts of Brazil and other South American nations, backed up by our State department, real war has broken out between Col ombia and Pent and the former coun try has severed diplomatic relations and declared that mediation is fin ished. This rupture resulted from an air attack by Peru on a Colombian flotilla on the Putumayo river which .iv.-is renulsed by Colombian planes and was followed by an engagement at the town of Tarapaca, on the Bra zilian border. FINANCIAL troubles of the Union Guardian Trust company, an Invest ment concern of Detroit, led Gov. Wil liam A. Comstock of Michigan to take the courageous step of proclaiming an eight day bank boli day, and his drastic action received the approval and legal sanction of the legis laturo. The legisla tors also got busy ni once with the enact mcnt of measures cov ering the situation and bearing retroactive clauses. Except for the up per peninsula, wnico 19 separate uuiu eeop-nphlcally and economically from the remainder of the atnte, the banka were abiding by the holiday order. The upper, peninsula (a In a different federal reserve bank district and, al though the governor of the Federal Reserve bank of Minneapolis said he was keeping hands o(T In the situation, most banks above the Straits of Mack inac were doing business as usual. The Federal Reserve bank of De troit remained open nnd received mil I lions of dollars from Chicago and New York, and the Detroit Clearing 11 oust association made arrangements where by $29,000,000 was made available to depositors, the latter being permitted to withdraw not In excess of 5 per cent of their balances for emergency purposes before the expiration of the holiday. Several of the biggest De troit corporations announced that they were continuing to pay their workers In cash, nnd all business concerns ex cept the financial houses carried on as usual. The governor held confer ences with Secretary of Commerce Chapln nnd leading financial authori ties, and Mr. Comstock said he did not seek to prohibit any bank from making a sensible arrangement to j permit withdrawals to meet family necessities or to allow the cashing of pay checks. SOMETHING concrete In the way of unemployment relief was done by the senate when It voted to add $22, OOO.Ottl to the War department supply bill Tor 11KI4 for tne purpose of enrolling nnd training 88,000 bomelets nnd Idle young men In year round citizens' mili tary training camps. Senator Couzens of Michigan was the originator of the part of the plan which Is designed to provide a home, food nnd some thing to do for a con siderable part of the ivhn nro Knlrl tn hp tramplrg about the country. The clauses providing that the lads be placed under discipline, required to drill, and limiting those received to Americans physically and mentally fit for community life were Introduced at th! Instance of Senator David Reed of Pensylvania. As the bill was drawn, boys between fifteen and twenty-one years old will be admissible provided they can show that they have been without work for six months or more, and provided they can meet the C. M. T. C. entrance requirements as to citi zenship and health. INVESTIGATION of the election of John H. Overton as senator from Louisiana by a senate committee tbat went to New Orleans gave Senator Huey Long opportunity for many char acteristic outbreaks, and though he apologized frequently to the commit tee, Chairman Bowel! threatened blm with action for contempt Long's brother, now his bitter enemy, and various other witnesses told of many Instances of alleged corruption, graft and extortion In Louisiana, and the retort of the "Klngflsh" In nearly every case was "You're a liar"?with profane trimmings The charges In volved both Overton and Long. JAPAN Informed the world that Its negotiations with the League of Nations In the Slanchurlnn dispute had come to an end. The foreign of fice In Tokyo said It would offer no further concessions and would stand firmly !>y Its de termination to main tain the government of Manchuktio. To suke Matsuoka, Ja pan's able reprerent ative at Geneva, was given Instructions to this effect and told to withdraw from the league and return home as soon as the league adopted the report of the committee of nineteen which reasserts the principle of Chi nese sovereignty In Manchuria anil de clines to recognize Manchukuo. Dispatches from Tokyo sold the gov ernment feels that withdrawal from the League of .Nations will r>e the turn log -point Tn the empire's' hlsiory. Be fore the ultimate decision Is made. It was announced, there would be an ex traordinary conference of the council of elders, the heads of branches of the Imperial family, all living former pro mlers and other distinguished person ages. Meanwhile plans for a general Jap anese offensive against the Chinese province of Jehol, which Japan claims is a part of Manchukuo, were reported i well under way. SO FA't as the courts and prosecu tors of Hawaii are concerned the Massle case has been closed with the dismissal of charges against four Hawaiian youths of mixed blood who had been accused of attacking Mrs. Thomas H. Massie, wife of a naval lieutenant This action was taken on recommendation of Public Prose cutor J. C.

BURGESS JOHNNY CHUCK TRIES TO ENJOY HIS NEW HOME JOHN NT CHOCK wns shaking In his skin and ashamed to admit It. He could hear Sammy Jay calling to him, saying that there was nothing to be afraid of and to come out. He wns afraid of Sammy's sharp tongue If be didn't go out, for Sammy would like nothing better than to go about telling that he. Johnny Chuck, was a coward. At the same time Johnny was afraid of that terrible unknown monster whose voice had sent hint scurrying Inside his house in such fright. "It Is all very well for Sammy Jay to say there Is no danger. Probably there lsnt for him; he has wings and can fly away." grumbled Johnny as half way up his hall he listened for more sounds of the thing that hod frightened him so. "I know all about thnt thing that frightened you so and tf you will come up I'll tell you all about It If you keep out of the dusty road It Is per fectly harmless. Everybody around here knows about It snd nobody Is afro! I of It If you don't come out (?11 ??l 1 ?II ?kiv ? ? l..k. K,.? - ? .4 ..?..Ml i ii icii an me uciKiiuura auu juu 11 be laughed at the rest of jour life. Come out; I want to talk to you," said Sammy Jay. So JobCDy Chuck went up far enough to poke bis bead out of his doorway Hnd then Sammy Jay told hlin as best he could that an automo bile was nothing to be afraid of If you kept out of Its way, and Its way was always on the dusty road or sometimes -,un In KjUaer Brown's dooryard. Then Sammy demanded to know what Jobn-~ ny was doing up there and why Polly wnsn't with blm. Johnny told Sammy that he had mored because be thought he had lived long enough In the old home and wanted to live where be could see more of the Great World. He had left Polly behind, be explained, " until he should have a fine home ready for her. Sammy winked one eye, for he understood exactly what bad hap poned. But Jobnny didn't see his wink and went on to explain bow much better this place was than the far corner of the Old Orchard where bis old home was. When he had finished Sammy wished him a great deal of happiness In bis new home, told blm that he surely would ser s great deal more of the Great World there, and said that be admired Johnny's spirit and Independ ence. Then be flew away chuckling. Johnny didn't see anything to chuckle about and be was a very thonghtfnl Chuck as ho at last started to get bis breakfast. After be bad foond where the near est clover patch was and had found out Just how long It would take him to get from It to the safety of bis bouse In time of danger, and after be had become full; acquainted with his surroundings, nil of which took several days, Johnny settled down to enjoy bis new home. He did his best to make himself believe that It was a very much finer borne than the old one In the far corner and that he wouldn't go bark there for anything In the world. It was true that there was a great deal more going od there than near the old borne. You see there was a great deal of passing along the dusty road Just the other side of the old stone wall. This was exciting but not at all restful. It kept him always ready to dart down Inside his house. He couldn't dose In peace as be bad loved to do In the doorway of his old j home. Then, too, the dust was very pro voking. It swept over him every time an auto rushed past It made all the grass, even the patch of sweet clover seme distance away, gritty and un pleasant to eat. Ills doorstep was not shaded in the least. Some days It got go hot that Johnny almost burned his little black feet. Still Johnny tried to make himself believe that he was en Joying his new home, nnd that It was ever and ever so much nicer than his old one. e 1SII. br T. W. Buniw-VKU Svnic*.
