News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Franklin D. Roosevelt Inaugurated President?Thomas J.
Walsh Dies Suddenly?Japan Pushing China Out
of Jehol?Turmoil in Germany.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
TAKING the oath of office admin
istered by Chief Justice Hughes of
the Supreme court and bowing his
head to kiss a three-hundred year-old
Dutch Bible, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt be
came the thirty-sec
ond President of the
United States. His lips
were pressed on the
open page where was
Paul's admonition to
the Corinthians clos
ng: "And now abid
eth faith, hope and
charity, these three;
but the greatest of
these is charity."
Turning then to face
tjie cheering thousands of his fellow
citizens, mostly Democrats, Mr. Roose
velt told them briefly why he had
faith and hope in his plans for the
"new deal" that he had promised the
country. The charity that "never
faileth" will combine with the trust of
the people in their new Chief Execu
tive in the movement upward from the
depths.
In his demeanor and words the new
President showed how deeply he was
affected by the sudden death of the
inan he had named as his attorney
general?Thomas J. Walsh, the vet
eran senator from Montana.
Though fairly colorful, the in
augural ceremonies were somewhat re
stricted by Mr. Roosevelt's determina
tion that economy should be prac
ticed. The parade, for Instance, was
kept down so that it passed the re
viewing stand in about two hours.
But it was a fine procession, led by
Oeneral MacArthur, chief of staff, as
grand marshal, fie acted in that ca
pacity because General Pershing was
kept In Arizona by illness.
In the evening the inaugural ball,
main social event though unofficial,
was a gorgeous affair. It was man-'
aged by Mrs. John J. Dougherty and
the large proceeds were turned over
to charity. President Roosevelt was
not present, but his wife and daugh
tor Anna graced the occasion.
Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt drove
together from the White House to the
Capitol In an open car for the Inaugu
ration, and their wives followed in an
other machine. The flrs^ event was
the swearing In of John Nance Garner
as Vice President, this taking place in
the senate chamber. Then everybody
went out to the stands in front of the
Capitol where Mr. Roosevelt took the
oath of office. When this was over.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoover drove quickly to
the Union station and took train for
New York.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S cabinet
was Invaded by death even before
it entered upon Its duties. Thomas J.
Walsh of Montana, who had Just rc^
signed as senator to become the new
attorney general, passed away on an
Atlantic Coast line train near Wilson,
N. C., as he was on his way from Elor
Ida to Washington. His death was
sudden and was a great shock to his
official associates and Ills multitude of
friends. He was married only a few
days before In Havana, Cuba, to
Senorn Xieves Chaumont de Tnifffn. a
wealthy widow, and she was with him
nt the time of his demise.
Senator Walsh, who was seventy
three years old. was born in Two Riv
ers. Wis. When he resigned he was
serving his fourth term in the senate.
In which braly he served his country
ably and faithfully. He was consid
prod one of the lending authorities
the Constitution. Walsh was perma
nent chairman of the Democratic nn
tfonnl conventions of 102-i and 10T?2.
MOST immediate of the problems
liefore Secretary of State Cordell
Hull is the Sino-Japanese einbroglio.
which now is really a war. With his
iuii approval me si me
department already
had sent a note to
f? e n e v a expressing
accord" with
the t.eagiie of N a
tlons' action in con
demning the-Japanese
military policy In Man
churiM. Though this
action was profound
ly disturbing to the
Tokyo government,
Japan went right
aur-nii wiiii us campaign lor loe con
quest of the Chinese province of Jehol.
The governor of the province. Tang
Yn-lln, mustered all available forces
for defense but hia troops were stead
Ill driven back bj tbe thoroughly
trained and Equipped Japanese col
umns that were advancing on three
lines toward the city of Jehoi.
Great Britain followed up the action
of tlie League of Nations by declaring
an arms embargo against both Japoil
and China, Ho reign Secretary Sir
John Simon explaining that his gov
ernment wouftl under no circum
stances be drajvn into the conflict and
did not favor [one against the other.
Both China aid Japan resented this,
though it was apparent to every one
that, as Senator llorah said, "to put
an arms embargo on China and Japan
is to take sidles with Japan under the
conditions arVd circumstances that ex
ist." The iVritish openly hoped that
the United 'States would join in the
embargo policy, but there is strong
opposition to this among the members
of congress. Senator James Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois voiced tills opposition
in 11 speech in the senate, warning the
nation that application of an embargo
against both China and Japan or
against Japan alone might involve us
in another disastrous foreign war.
He told his colleagues that "Britain
already has sold all the arms to both
nations they can pay for, and in ad |
dition has sold them the machinery
with which munitions can be manu
factured."
SEVERAL days before the innugura
tion Mr. Roosevelt formally com
pleted his cabinet, the appointments
being as given in this column previous
ly. The last names given out were
those of Daniel C. Roper as secretary
of commerce and Frances Perkins as
secretary of labor. Miss Perkins, who
in private life is Mrs. Paul Wilson, Is
the first woman to be a member of an
American cabinet, but Mr. Roosevelt
in selecting her was not bidding for
feminine political support, according
to his friends. He regards her as lie
would a man, highly capable for the
post. Some time ago William Green,
president of the American Federation
of I^abor, said that organization was
deeply disappointed by Mr. Roosevelt's
selection of Miss Perkins.
Cordell Hull, secretary of state,
resigned his seat In the senate.
Governor McAllister of Tennessee ap
pointed Nathan L. Bach man of Chat
tanoogn to succeed Hull. Bachmnn
was formerly justice of the Tennessee
Supreme court.

HIS testimony before the senate
committee on hanking and cur
rency resulted In fhe resignation of
Charles K. Mitchell as chairman of
the board of the National City hank
of New York, the world's second larg
est hank, and tlie National City com
pnny. Its subsidiary, lie had been
shandy criticized for the financial
acts he testified to at the hearing.
PLANS for recapturing control of
congress In 1934 were laid by the
executive committee of the Republican
national committee at a meeting In
Washington, and Herbert Hoover was
told that his party would continue to
look to him for leadership in the days
to come. As the meeting was held be
fore Mr. Hoover retired from the
White House there was no attempt to
make anyone else leader or to displace
Chairman Everett Sanders. The op
ponents of those two gentlemen in the
national committee, however, may be
expected to get into action later.
In a message to the committee Mr.
Hoover outlined the fundamental pol
icies which he asserted Republicans
as well, as Democrats should follow.
These Included a demand for economy
in government and protection for gov
ernment obligations. He urged the
necessity of maintaining sound cur
rencies and sound national credit.
FOLLOWING Michigan's bank trou
bles an epidemic of financial woes
broke out In many parts of the coun

steps to save the
banks and their de
positors were taken
quickly. IJank holi
days were declared
by the governors of
several states of the
Middle West, and In
Ohio, Indiana and
elsewhere many banks
placed restrictions on
withdrawals. Ten n
sylvania and West
Virginia also were affected but the
legislatures got busy with remedial
measures.
While Governor Comstock was try |
Ing to speed up the Michigan legisla
ture, Henry Ford and his son ,f?dael |
came to the rescue of the# First Na
tional and Guardian National banks
of Detroit with a plan to put tip $8,
250,000 of their private funds and
create two new banks that would take
bver the two mentioned, enabling their
depositors to receive immediately 30
per cent of their deposits. It was ex
pected thnt^s'ew York bankers would
grant a loan of $20,000,000 to the
First National and that thereupon It
would receive $54,000,000 from the Re
construction Finance corporation. But
the New Yorkers?who never did like
Ford?held back and the result was
that the plan was delayed In execu
tion and material changes were neces
sary. The two new banks were given
the names of People's National and
Manufacturers' National.
FIVE representatives were named
to prosecute the Impeachment of
Federal Judge Harold K. Louderback
of San Francisco, which was voted by

Judge Louderback was Impeached j

One young Dutch Bed was arrested !
and confessed to setting the blaze. !
The occurrence was seized upon by j
Chancellor Hitler and his government
as an opportunity to destroy the Com

drastic. CapL William Coering, Nazi j
minister without portfolio and virtual
ruler of Prussia, first ordered the ar J

of a Communist plot to overthrow the ;

Through life and help each other so.
He helping you, you helping me.
With kindness for our currency.
The splendid coinage of the heart.
The coinage good in any mart.
Who asks for favors owes no debt
If kindness Is with kindness met.
Accepted gratefully, and then

For acts of kindness done today
Tomorrow brings the chance to pay.

WHEN Hie ball l( within a 50

ofteh Impossible to Impart hackspln
to the ball, for this requires a firm
blow which Is likely to send the ball
flying past the green. In such sltua
lions the cut shot Is often employed.
Here the arms and hands are pulled
in close to the body as the ball Is
struck. The gldespin thus Imparted
has a tendency to slow the- ball up
once It strikes the turf. The ball
has a tendency to curve toward the
right even after the liounce. Allow

trajectory, but with considerable prac
tlce one can accurately Judge this
shot. The main difficulty with this
sort of swing Is that one who uses
it often Is likely to unconsciously em
ploy It for other shots. On longer
swings nn acute slice Is the result. It
Is for this reason that Francis Oulinet
recommends the shot be confined to
one club slone, preferably the maslile
niblick, for It Is with this club that
most of the short shots are played.

STORY FOR YOUNG FOLKS
_ By THORNTON W. BURGESS
REDDY FOX CONSULTS
MRS. REDDY
When Foxes put their heads together
It means for some one stormy weather*.
OF COURSE, Hint Is Just a saying.
Foxes don't have anything what
ever to do with the weather. Rut when
folks ore In trouble they are said to he
having bad weather and so that little
verse really means that when Foxes
put their heads together and make
plans it generally means trouble for
some one.
Reddy Fox had Intended to be selfish
and try to get Johnny Chuck all alone,
so that he might dine on him all
alone. But the more he thought It
over, the wiser it seemed to him to get
.Mrs. Reddy to help.
In the first place Johnny was so
big and strong that Reddy didn't at
all fancy a figlT? with him. lie
wouldn't admit It even to himself, but
he wasn't at all sure he could whip
wr
"That la Too Good to Be True," Re
plied Mrs. Reddy, With Great
Promptneaa.
Johnny Chuck In a fair fighit. lie
knew thai Johnny was tough of skin,
stout of Jaw nnd sharp of tooth.
80 this was one reason Iteddy was
willing to have Mrs. Reddy help him,
though not for nnythlng In the world
would he hare told this or had her
suspect It. Another reason Was that
he saw a way whereby, working to
gether, they were almost certain to
shut Johnny off from his home, and
once they could do that they would
have him wlthont fall. * ' ^
"He Is big enough and fat enough
to make both of us a dinner," thought
Roddy. "Resides, If we suceceed In
catching hlra perhaps we can also
Catch I'olly Chuck. Mrs. Iteddy Is
very clever, very clever Indeed, and
she can help a lot." It Is well for
Reddy that Mrs. Reddy didn't hear
this, for she Is the smarter of the two,
and she knows It.
When Iteddy first told her that he
wanted her help to catch Johnny
Chuck she looked at him as If she
thought him the stupidest fellow In
the world. "Cook here, Iteddy," said
she. "I'm always ready and willing
to help when there Is a reasonable
chance that something besides failure
will come out of It, but If you've got
any sense at all In your head you
won't ask me to waste any more time
on that fat Chuck. We've wasted
enough as It Is. You know very well
that we can't dig open that house
down In the far corner of the Old Or
chard. because It Is right between the
roots of that, pesky apple tree. As
for catching one of those Chucks away
from their house. It can't be done.
There Is alwnys one on watcb when
the other Is eating."
"Listen, my dear," Interrupted Reddy
with a crafty grin on his face. "All
e
that you say is very true. I don't
blame you for feeling that way. 1
don't blame you in the least. But
what would you say If 1 were to tell
you that those two silly Chucks have
separated and one of them has built
a new home where It is the simplest
thing In the world to surprise him
away from his doorstep? What would
you say to that?"
"That Is too good to be true," re
plied Sirs. Reddy with great prompt
ness.
"It Is true, though," cried Reddy,
and at once started in to tell Mrs.
Reddy all that he had found out .Mrs.
Reddy listened with Interest, and'as
Reddy went on to tell of his plan a
crafty look crept Into her eyes.
"We must plan this vory carefully,"
said she. "Let us put our heads to
gether and see If we cannot have a
double dinner of fat Chuck, for if we
can catch one we may be able to catch
the other."
So Reddy and Mrs. Reddy put their
heads together and planned how they
would dine on fat Chuck.

TOUCHES ADD
DISTINCTION
SO MUCH pleasure Is added to both
guests and hosts by the little estra
time we take to make a dish attrac
tive that it pays. Cocktails of fsuit
or shell fish, as well as vegetables, add
to a meal. ,
Tomato Cocktail.
Chop fine one small slice of onion
with a few bits of celery, add three
cupfuls of strained tomato Juice sait- ,
ed to taste. Let stand three hours.
Mis two tablespoonfuls of catsup, one
fourth cupful of orange Juice, two tea
spoonfuls of sugar and a dash of cay
enne. ? Sprinkle with chopped parsley
and serve.
Caroline Fritter*.
To three-fonrths of a cttpfnl of
canned corn add one-balf cupful of
milk, two well beaten eggs and one
half tablespoonful of sugar. Mix one
scant cupful of flour, one tea spoonful
of baking powder and one-half i tea
spoonful of aalL Sift and combine the
mixtures, pi,iee In battered mtlflln
rings In a buttered dripping pan. Drop
Into the rings and bake in a moderate
