Hull and Woodin Head the Roosevelt Cabinet?Congress
Puts Prohibition Repeal Up to the States?
Japan Invades Jehol.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
SO THAT his administration oil^lit
get a running start in the nego
tiations concerning war debts, world
economies and other related matters
that are worrying the
iiuiiuns, r r e s i u p II i
Rlect Roosevelt made
public two of his se
lections for his cab
inet These were Sen
ator Cordell Hull of
Tennessee as secretary
of state and William
H. Wood in. New York
capitalist, as secre
tary of the treasury.
These gentlemen, who,
Mr. Roosevelt said,
were "drafted" azainst
their will, were at once associated
with hlra In the preliminaries of de
termining the policies of the incoming
administration In its relations with
foreign powers. They became mem
bers of what Mr. Roosevelt has called
his "unofficial" committee to advise
him on world economic problems, and
met with that group, which includes
Bernard Baruch. Prof. Raymond Moley
and others.
Mr. Hull, long considered one of the
ablest men In the Democratic party,
Is not an orator or an accomplished
debater but is studious, resourceful
and has served his country ably for
many years in the house and the sen
ate. Before entering congress he was -
In the Tennessee legislature, and he
served in the Spanish-American war
as a captain of volunteer infantry.
He is devoted to the policy of tariffs
for revenue only, and believes that
one of the basic causes of the business
depression has been nationalist Isola
tion, started by the United States in
3920 with the erection of tariff walls
which other nations were quick to
copy. Prohibitive tariffs, he holds,
have helpe&fttagnate trade by creat
ing a prodmltivc capacity in excess of
domestic demand.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
was Mr. Roosevelt's first choice for
secretary of the treasury but he de
clined the post solely because he be
lieves he can better
serve me country in |
the senate. So the |
President-Elect per
snmletThis "close per
pnnal friend. William
H. Wood in, to accept
the portfolio. Mr
* *WoodIn formerly was :
a Republican, but he j
JoinOd the Roosevelt I
ramp before last sum I
mer's convention and
afterward was treas
urer of- n special fi
nance committee that
raised a larire fund for i
ic party. He has an international rep
utation as a manufacturer of railway
equipment and as a banker and is
r.ow president of the American Car
and Foundry company. His interests
rre not all in business, for he is an
rccomplished musician and conif r.
n numismatist and an art collector.
He !s sixty-five years old, married and
has four children.
UNOFFICIALLY, the other members
of the Roosevelt cabinet were an
nouirced to be these:
War?George H. Dern of Utah.
Attorney general?Thomas J. Walsh
of Montana. - -
> Postmaster general?James A'. Far
ley of New York.
Navy?Claude A. Swanson of Vir
ginia.
Interior?Harold L. I ekes of Illinois.
Agriculture?Henry A. Wallace of
Iova.
Commerce?Daniel C. Roper of South
Carolina.
Labor?Frances Perkins of New
York
Giuseppe zangara, the brick
maker immigrant who tried in
vain to assassinate the President
elect In Miami, must spend SO years
In prison at hard labor, if he lives so
long. He pleaded guilty to deadly
assault on Mr. Roosevelt and on
three others whom his bullets reached,
ami was sentenced . by Judge E. C.
Collins. Two of the victims of his
i utd deed. Mayor Cermnk of Chicago
and Mrs. Joseph H. Gill of Miami,
were si ill lying in the hospital severe
ly wounded, and so there was a
cltance that Zangara. should the vic
t'ms of his mad act die, would be put
on trial for murder.
Government agents In Washington
were Investigating a second appar
ent attempt on the life of the Presi
dent Elect, following the discovery of j
a package addressed to him contain
ing a crudely wrapped shotgun shell
It was mailed from Watertown. N. \\,
and was found in the Washington post
office. Postal Inspectors thought it
was the ivork of a crank but said the
shell was wired to explode if jarred
or struck and might have resulted
fatally.
Silt RONALD LINDSAY. British
ambassador, immediately after bis
return from London held conferences
with Mr. Roosevelt?Secretary of
State Stiinson approving?and report
ed to Sir John Simon, foreign secre
tary, that the conversations had beer,
"useful." What was said was not re
vealed, but Sir John said :
"The conversations are, of course,
at present in a wholly preliminary
stage and of an entirely general char
acter, but it is not too soon to say
that we believe that by a frank and
intimate Interchange of views be
tween ourselves and the United
States over the whole field of current
economic problems, the way will be
best prepared for the effort which the
countries of the world must make to
gether to assist In promoting world
recovery."
Mr. Roosevelt also conferred at
length with Paul Claudel, the French
ambassador, and William Duncan Her
ridge, the minister from Canada. In
Paris Foreign Minister Paul-Boncour
said war debt negotiations between
France and the United States would
be resumed after the Inauguration of
Mr. Roosevelt, but did not explain
what form the negotiations would take.
REPEAL of the Eighteenth amend
ment is now up to the states, for
the senate's Blaine resolution submit
ting the action to state conventions
was passed by the
nouse r>y a vote or zsa }
to 121. or 15 In excess j
of the required two
thirds of those pres
ent and voting. For
the repealer were 108
Republicans, 180 Dem
ocrnts, and 1 Farmer
Laborite. Against it
were SO Republicans
and 32 Democrats. The
action of the house *
was a reversal of its
attitude of the first
n?j BcssHju, wuen a resolution
to submit unqualified repeal failed^pf
adoption by 6 Totes. It was in a way
a personal victory for Representative
Henry T. Italney of Illinois. Democrat
ic leader, who moved the adoption of
the senate resolution and argued
warmly and effectively in its behalf.
Though Immediate steps toward the
calling of conventions were taken in
many of the states, the battle for re
peal was by no means won when the
submission resolution was adopted.
Ratification by thirty-sis states Is nec
essary. and if this is not obtained
within seven years the whole matter
lai>ses and prohibition remains. Of
course the vets are confident that re
peal will win In the required number
of states w ithin at the most four years
and possibly In much less time, and it
may lie they are right. Wet leaders
assert that only Kansas, Mississippi,
Oklahoma. Arkansas and Nebraska can
be counted on as certainly dry, and
Alabama, Vermont, Idaho and Maine
as doubtful. On the other hand Bishop
James Cannon. Jr., asserts that thirty
to thirty-three states will refuse to val
idate the Blaine amendment.
Disagreement as to the method by
which states' conventions may be set
up may delay the functioning of the
machinery of ratification. Some con
gressmen thought congress should pre
scribe the procedure, but Senator
Walsh of Idaho held that all connec
tion which congress has with prohibi
tion repeal ended with submission of
tlie new amendment to the states. This
view also was taken by Representative
James Beck of Pennsylvania, who. like
Senator Walsh, is an eminent constltu
tionai anthority.
F 'i.l.OWlNG a demand on China to
withdraw Its troops voluntarily
from Jehol. actually by Japan but
nominally by the government of the
puppet state of Manchukuo. the main
body of the Japanese array In Manchu
kuo crossed the border of the prov
ince and advanced rapidly toward
Clianyang. second largest city of Jehol
The opposing Chinese were reported
'to have fled, but Immediately there
after regular Chinese troops crossed
into Manchukuo to Join irregulars in
an attack on the Japanese positions
at Tungllao The Japanese high com
mand In Manchuria announced thnt |
it was determined to "annihilate" the !
100.000 regular troops in -the army of '
Marshal Chang Ilsueh Hang, nnd that
it might become necessary to occupy
Pelping and Tientsin. *As is Its cus
torn, the Japanese foreign office de
clared that Japan regarded the .Ichol
invasion as purely a local affair.
The Japanese delegation In Geneva
maintained its uncompromising atti
tude as the assembly of the League >
of Nations began general discussion
of the report of the committee of nine
teen on Manchuria. This report is
in most respects at utter variance
with the claims of Japan, and the
Tokyo delegates warned the League
that a grave situation would arise If
it were adopted hy the assembly. Such
action, they suggested, might upset
"friendly relations between nations,
upon which peace depends."
PltKSIDKNT IIOOYKK. rather neg
lected in tlie news of late, sur '
prised congress by sending in a spe
cial message urging action on eight ;
. subjects of legislation j
which he thought
would aid In economic
recovery. He asked
ihat the present con
^ress pass the hank
ruptcy bill, the Glass
(tanking bill, a meas
ure to increase the
amount of Rcconstrnc
lion Finance corpora
Hon funds for state
relief loans, a federal
farm lease hill and the
repeal of the public
fty clause in the K. F.
C. act. The President also advised
the ratification of the St. Lawrence
waterway treaty, the adoption of the
arms embargo resolution and the
starting of study looking to the ex
pansion of the home loan banks Into
a general mortgage discount system.
Mr. Hoover advocated the Hyde farm
leasing plan as a substitute for the
domestic allotment scheme, declaring
the latter seemed "wholly unwork
able*' and calculated to do far greater
harm than good to agriculture.
The senate did take up the bank
ruptcy bill, which had passed the
house, and it also passed the Wagner
relief bill, which increases the It. F.
C. funds for state relief and goes
farther than the President contem
plated. It was generally agreed that
his other recommendations would
meet with no response during the
short session.
SPEAKER GARNER dropped his
plan to make Roosevelt a constitu
tional dictator for two years, and the
house accepted the senate provision
of the treasury and post office appro
priation bill conferring limited auto
cratic power on the Incoming Presi
dent to reorganize the administrative
branch of the federal government. By
Its terms he may consolidate or abol
ish any administrative agencies and
their functions, but may not abolish
or consolidate entire departments.
The house rejected the senate
amendment directing the head of each
department and Independent estab
lishment to effect a T per cent reduc
tion in expenditures from appropria
tions for the fiscal year 1034.
Without debate the house accepted
the "Ruy American"' amendment spon
sored by Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia. It provides that the heads of
all government departments must buy
for government use only goods made
or produced In the United States or
substantially composed of domestic
material.
FOR the first time the navy now has
a vessel designed and built as an
aircraft carrier. It was launched at
Newport News. Va.; and Mrs. Herbert
Hoover christened it
iiuiiKtr hi iiunur ui
the ship of the same
name that was com
manded by John Paul
Jones. Our other air
plane carriers, the
Langley, Saratoga
and l^exinjrton. were
designed for other
uses and Were con
verted. The author
ised design Intended
the Hanger to be of
the "flush deck" type.
but the navy Is now trying to get a
bill [Missed through concress to au
tborize a change in the plans to con
struct with an "Island deck." In the
first type of construction no super
structure is prowded except a smoke
& atu which swings out of the way so
that the entire d? < k Is available for J
taking off and landing
The "island deck" type has a super
structure at the extreme side of the j
vessel, leaving pracfTcallv the entire j
deck free for the nse of the airplanes. '
The change, if authorised by congress. I
would entail an extra expenditure of
$2,000.001?

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
REDDY FOX DOES SOME
? PLANNING
IF THERE Is anybody in the wide
* world who wants to know all fhat
Is going on about him, it is Ueddy
Fox. Some folks like to find out all
they can Just through Idle curiosity.
One of the first things old Granny Fox
taught Reddy when he was little was
that the more you know about the
affairs of other peo ?Ie, the greater Is
the chance that sooner or later you
will be able to profit' by your knowl
edge. So Reddy .Fox never willingly
or knowingly allows to slip by a chance
to learn something of his neighbors
and their affairs.
You remember how Johnny Chuck
had thought himself very clever in
making his new home In the corner
of the old stone wall because it would
give hira protection on both sides. At
least that is the way It seemed to
him. And you remember how Reddy
Fox had discovered that new house.
And how he said- that it couldn't suit
hira better possibly. The reason It
suited Reddy so well was that he saw
at a glance that the wall was too high
for Johnny to see over even when he
sat up, and so It would be an easy
matter to creep up behind that waft
and watch for a chance to surprise
Johnny.
Of course, at first (teddy had n?*
known that it was Johnny Chuck who
bad built that house, ile had hoped
that it nas a young, foolish and ten
der Chuck. So the first thing (teddy ?
did was to find out Just who the own
er of that house was. He did it by
peeking over the wall from some dis
tance away, watching until he had a
good look at Johnny. You can. Imag
ine how surprised he was.
At first (teddy was disappointed.
Johnny was no longer young and ten
der. Jphnny was wise In the ways
t i m
or Foxes. Ready thought of tow
often he had tried to carcb Johnny
Chuck and failed. Then he thocght
of Polly Cheek and at once began to
wonder if she was with Johnny. If
she wasn't?well he might be able to
cateh both. It wocld be worth trying,
| anyway.
So Reddy promptly stole down to
a certain favorite hiding place where
he could see the old appie tree fn the
far corner of the Old Orchard! and
here he watched until he saw Polly
Chuck come oat to sit on her door
step. fleddy grinned. "They've inar
reled about something." thought he.
"That is Just what fhey hare done,
and Johnny has gore to lire by him
self. What a silly fellow! What a
siliy fellow to give up such a splendid
safe home as he had for such a place
as he has now: Here I couldn't sur
prise him. but up there, well we will
see what we will see."
So for several dayi Reddy Fox
watched Johnny Chuck, usually rery
early In the morning. Always he took
care that Sammy Jar shoa!?in1 see
him. The minute Sammy arrived in
that part of the Old Orchard. Reddy
had business elsewhere. You see he
knew that if Sammy once saw him
| watching he would at or.ee tell Johnny
Chuck, for there rs nothing Sammy
! takes greater delight in than in up
setting the plans of others.
It didn't rake Reddy long to learn
! that Johnny bad to go some distance
| from his house to ret his men s. He
j learned at Just what hoar Johnny
- breakfasted. He learned that when
ever a wagon or an auto passed along
the road. Johnny ducked down oat of
sight, bat didc t stay down long. In
fact, he learned all about Johnny's
ways, and then Reddy began to do
some planning, and all this planning
had to do w th the catching of J >hnny
Chuck. Reddy indulged in many sly
grins as he -planned. If Johnny could
! hare known what was going on. he
j would hare been nervous. He certain
Iy would.

OUR PLACE IS
HERE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
UJ E MAY grow very weary of
The world, and would be on
The road so many that we love
Hare onward, upward, gone?
And so the raan would quit the plow
Before the set of sun.
Yet knows he must not leave It now
Until his work Is done.
As long as we can lend a hand.
Can even breathe a pray'r.
As long as we can understand
Another's loaJ of care.
As long as we can give a smile
Or speak a word of cheer.
We know our place Is never there.
We know our place Is here.
The selfish only would depart;
Our duty Is to stay.
With willing hand, with patient heart.
Until the end of day.
As long as there is stranger, friend.
To give a word of grace,
w'ntil our work Is at an end.
We know here Is our place.

SARAZEN'S PUTTING
SAKAZEN once said that the men
who win big competitive events are
the ones who putt most consistently
during that particular tournament. Be
certainly called the turn on himself in
this regard aa far as the British and
American opens were concerned, i'ntt
tng was pernaps na strongest point
during both these events. Long an
admirer of Hagen's ability at putting
Saruzen has undoubtedly patterned
much of his style after him. San
son's putt is a smooth stroke, notice
able body action aiding a comfortable
relaxed stance. The ball is swept
evenly over the ground. When Gene's
left wrist is bent at the finish of the
stroke the putt is good for it shows
that a straight follow through has
taken place Surazen advocates prac
tice as the main way to increase put
ting proficiency particularly stressing
distances from three to ten feet,
