The Alamance Gleaner VOL. LVIX. *. GRAHAM, IS, C., THURSDAY JUNE 8, 1933. , NO. 18 News Review of Current Events the World Over American Delegation on Way to London Economic Con ference?Brookhart Becomes "Agricultural Ambas sador" to Russia?Morgan Inquiry Proceeds. By EDWARD W. PICKARD CIX delegates and nineteen experts ^ are on thefr way to London to represent the United States In the In ternational economic conference from which so much Is expected in the way of finding a path out of the world de ' pression. Secretory of ? State Cordell Hull heads the delegation and his associates as announced by the White House are: James M. Cox, vice chairman, former governor and Demo crat! c Presidential candidate in 1920; Senator Key Pittman r.9 Vn.-n/ln Pt o m A ?X" m Rep. S. D. McReynolds Ul iicvuuu, U C LAI V drat; Senator James Conzens of Michigan, Republican; Representative Samuel D. McReynolds of Tennessee, Democrat, and Ralph W. Morrison of Texas, retired banker. Chief of the experts are William C. Bullitt, execu tive officer; James I'. Warburg, finan cial adviser; Fred K. Nielsen, legal adviser, and Herbert Feis, chief tech nical adviser, under whom will serve several members of the "brain trust." Of all the delegates the one con sistent conservative Is Congressman , McReynolds. He is chairman of the house committee on foreign relations and his influence is expected to be potent In the deliberations of the dele gation. Senator Couzens, the one Re publican member, has frequently lined up with the more radical Re publicans and Democrats In congress. The administration, according to Assistant Secretary of State Raymond Moley, has considerably modified Its expectations of what the conference will accomplish, and now realizes that the prospects are definitely limited and do not include a lowering of tar iffs or an Immediate permanent sta bilization of currencies. Secretary Hull is said to be the only one of the administration leaders who still ad vances the urgent necessity of a dras tic International agreement to lower tariffs and trade barriers. Mr. Moley Included only the follow ing among the solutions which prob ably would be obtained at the confer ence: An agreement on monetary policy through action of central banks sup plemented by an agreement among governments to synchronize policies of internal public expenditure. An agreement on progressive re moval of restrictions on exchange. The International wlieat conference moved from Geneva to London and there the representatives of the United States, Argentina, Australia and Can ada continued their discussions. If they agree upon any plan for curtail ing wheat acreage it will he submit ted to the economic conference for approval. Great Britain, France, Italy and the other nations that owe war debts to the United States failed In their effort to have the dehts in cluded in the agenda for the economic conference, but their delegates enter the conference with the cancellation or drastic reduction of the debts their chief aim. The Roosevelt administra tion insists that the war debts, how ever important they may be, were not a major cause of the depression and are not a major remedy. Consequent ly the parleys in I/tndon are almost certnin to develop into a great battle of diplomacy. President Roosevelt has flatly de nied that he intends to negotiate new settlements of the war debts without recourse to congress. This was made necessary by dispatches from Wash ington published in London, saying Mr. Roosevelt had offered to accept from Britain $10,000,000 as part pay ment of the $75,900,000 due June 15. It seemed fairly certnin that the British government would make this payment In full. This will be easier than before because of the devalua tion of the dollar. Britain can either pay In paper dollars, which cost about 2 per cent less to buy than gold dol lars, or In American securities, which can be bought with paper dollars at a discount and turned in at par. CHAMPIONS of the gold standard hi both the house and the senate had little chance as the administra tion forces pushed through the Fletcher-Steagall resolution for the abrogation of the gold clause In all governmental and private contracts, both present and future. The meas ure, asked by the President to legal las action already taken, was first passed by the house by a vote of 283 to 57. Twenty-eight Republicans and all five of the Farmer-I.aborltes Joined with the Democrats In favor of the resolution. Representative t.uce of Massachusetts, who led the small minority, denounced the measure as a breach of faith on the part of the government; but Chairman Steagall of the banking committee said It was essential for the recovery of national prosperity. INVESTIGATION of the banking 1 house of J. P. Morgan & Co. was resumed by the senate banking com mittee. and a new list of important persons who had received bargains In stocks was produced. Ferdinand Pe cora, the committee's counsel, was persistent In his probing, but was compelled to tell the senators. In ex ecutive session, what evidence he pro posed to Introduce and what he ex pected to prove by It, and to con vince them of the propriety of his pur pose. Senator Glass was still deter mined that Pecora should not bring out matter outside the committee's Jurisdiction or irrelevant to the In quiry. Mr. Glass said he had re ceived a number of anonymous threats by mail and what he termed "blackguard telegrams" because of his stand. Though William H. Woodin's name was on one of the Morgan lists of "preferred" customers before he be came secretary of the treasury and hence demands for his resignation were made by various men in public life, Mr. Woodln declared he had not resigned. His statement left no doubt that he would be willing to quit his office If his presence there In any way hindered the return of prosperity, but It also was Interpreted to mean that Mr. Roosevelt wished him to hold on, at least for the present. More serious, perhaps, is the case of Norman H. Davis, the very active "ambassador at large" in Europe, who also waa on a Morgan list Representative George H. Tinkham -of Massachusetts has de manded a congressional investigation of the financial dealings Mr Davis may have had with International bank ing and business interests. SMITH WII.DMAN BROOKnART, former senator frofh Iowa, has a new Job. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has appointed him "agrlcul tnral ambassador to Soviet Russia, and has instructed him to explore the opportu nities for disposing of American surpluses of cotton and live stock In that country. In effect, this means the opening of trade negotiations with a government that Is not recognized by Washington, hut Brookhart says his 8. W. Brook hart work has no connection with the question of diplomatic relations, though he hopes recognition will re sult from his efforts to effect a thriv ing trade between the two countries. The Iowan has been given the title of "special adviser to the agricultural administration" and serves under Ad ministrator George Peek. "I've done a lot of work already," he said. "I have gone into the mat ter with people here, including the Soviet representative, Boris Skvlrsky. He's a pretty fine fellow and I've had several talks with him." Mr. Skvlrsky is not a trade repre sentative of the Soviet, nor has he connection with the Amtorg corpora tion, organized by the Soviets to transact business in America. Mr. Skvlrsky said that he Is a representa tive of the Soviet foreign office. WHEN President Roosevelt the other day selected Arthur E. Mor gan, president of Antloch college at Yellow Springh, Ohio, as director of the vast Tennessee valley conservation project, there were many derogatory re marks about the ap pointing of Just an other professor for a big Job. But the skep tical ones did not know about Morgan. Since 1902, when he was Just out of high jl school, he has been active In engineering work and has planned Arthur E Morgan and supervised construction of about seventy-five water control projects These include the Important reclama tion work In St Francis valley in Ar fe ansae and the Miami conservation project at Dayton, Ohio, lie was chief engineer In the Pueblo (Colo.) con servancy district; he drafted the re vised drainage codes for Minnesota, Arkansas, Ohio, Mississippi, Colorado and New Mexico., and has been con sulting engineer on drainage and flood control projects all over the nation. He Is entirely familiar with conditions in the Tennessee valley. GERMANY has refused to accept an unfavorable rcjmrt of the : League of Nations on her treatment I of the Jews and virtually told the league that the affair Is none of its | business. The league council, how- 1 ever, referred Juridical aspects of the Issue to a committee of Jurists with I the understanding that the matter will have a complete airing. MILITARY representatives of Ja- | pan and China signed a formal armistice In the warfare In north China at Tangkn, where the negotla- j lions iook piace unaer the guns of Japanese naval era ft. .The truce provides for demili tarization of the area bounded by the great wall on the north, the Pel ping-Mukden rail way on the east and the Pelplng - Sulyuan railway on the west; for dissolution of the Chinese volunteer corps in this area and for resumption of rail Gen. Feng Yu-hsiang traffic between Peiplng and Shanlialk wan. Just before tbe signing of the truce the banner of revolt against tbe Chb nese Nationalist government was raised by Gen. Feng Yu hslang, usual ly alluded to as tlie "Christian gen eral." Feng denounced Gen. Chiang Kai-shek, the dictator, as a traitor and announced himself as commander in-chief of the "people's anti-Japanese nrmy." He had been recruiting a large force at Kalgan and It was believed he was acting In close co-operation with the army of Canton, which was reported to be moving to the north ward. In Tientsin It was thought that Feng must have been receiving large supplies of arms and ammunition from the Russians of Mongolia by the old caravan route from Urga. The National government Issued a declaration that the Tangku truce Is entirely local and of a temporary na ture. "It Is not Incompatible with the de clared policy of continuing a sustained resistance and efforts for the recovery of lost territories," the statement said. "It Is absolutely impossible for the National government to agree to an ignominious surrender since the Man- i churian issue Is entirely outside the sphere of the local military truce with Peiping." T ANSING state penitentiary near ' Leavenworth, Kan., was the scene of a sensational escape of 11 convicts who were led by Wilbur Underhill, a lifer and one of the most desperate i outlaws of the Southwest. During a baseball game Warden Prather and two guards were seized, used as shields and forced to accompany the fleeing convicts over the wall Other guards were disarmed and the men got away in the car of the prison farm superintendent, keeping their prisoners with them as hostages un til hours later, when they were re- j leased in Oklahoma. In their flight I they commandeered two other cars [ and captured three women, who were set free near Plensanton, Ivans. I tlx bandits Held tip tlie state Kx- ] " change hank of Culver, Intl., and I fled In an automobile with SIC,,000. I But the men of the town had been trained as vigilantes and, receiving j word of the crime, they mobilized Im mediately under command of Captnln I Obenauf of the Culver Military acnd- | emy and went Into action. Result: All six bandits were captured, one of i them being fatally wounded, and the ? loot was recovered. ON'E hundred thousand spectators saw Louis Meyer of California win the 500-mlle automobile race at the Indianapolis speedway In record breaking time. They also a gerles of fatal accidents that sadly marred the great spectacle. Three men were killed and three others were badly Injured. -Mark Killmnn of In f dlanspolls was crushed to death when | he lost control of his car and It < crashed Into the retaining wall, and \ Elmer Lombard, his mechanic, was. hurt.

BURGESS A REAL APPETITE PKTKIt RABBIT was provoked He certainly was. Wasn't It enough to provoke anyone? There he had hunted In vnln for Short-Tnll In order to make a call, and then Short-Tall had sud denly appeared only to disappear quite as suddenly. "That fellow doesn't know what common politeness Is," grumbled I'eter as he vainly stared this way and that. "Oh, yes, he does," replied a familiar sharp, squeaky voice, and Short-Tall the Shrew popped out from under some leaves. "I'm not Impolite, but Just busy. We hunters have to work for what we get to fill our stomachs. We can't sit down In one place and 011 up the way you can." "Are you a hunter?" exclaimed I'eter, his eyes popping right out with astonishment. "Certainly! Of coarse! What did you suppose I was?" replied Short-Tall testily. "I didn't think much about It." con fessed Peter, "but 1 never In the world would have supposed you were a hunt er What do you hunt?" "Anything that walks, crawls or flies, In the worm or Insect line," re plied Short-Tall, promptly, rs he popped out from under a piece of bark with a fat beetle, which he proceeded to .gobble as If he were half starved. "Oh," said I'eler, "1 thought yon meant that you hunted real folks, the same way Shadow the Weasel and Reddy Fos and all the rest of tlie hunters do." "I do once In a while," replied Short Tall. as the last of the beetle vanished. "If nny young mice happen along you'll see whether or not I am a real hunter. They don't have to be so young either. I've killed more than one mouse bigger than 1 am. I'm ready for a fight with anybody my own size any time. Hut looking for bugs Is Just as much bunting as It is tor llooty the Owl to try to catch me. If you don't believe It, Just ycu try to catch some of those big beetles." "No, thank you," replied Peter, very promptly. "I'm quite willing to take your word for It and to leave tbetn for you and Jimmy Skunk. I should think that one liig beetle like the oue you have Just eaten would last you all day." "I.ast nte all day!" cried Short Tail. "Why, that wasn't a bite. It would take n dozen like that to make me a meal and 1 have to have several meals a day. It is a had day when I don't cat twice my own weight in food. You see anybody nctlve as I ntn must have a lot of food to keep him going. 1 hnve to run about a great deal to find food enough, and the more I have to run about the more food I have to have to keep me going." He disappeared before Peter could reply. "Twice his own weight in food In a day," muttered Peter. "He says he eats twice Ids own weight in r day. I thought I was some eater, but I guess I'm not. Twice his own weight in a day?phew!" "That's nothing. Sometimes 1 eat three times my own weight when I'm lucky," squeaked Short-Tail, appearing In front of Peter as abruptly as he had disappeared. This time he had a snail. "Are you going to eat that?" asked Peter. "Not now," replied Short-Tall, "I'd like to, hut I guess I'd better put It away for next winter. Excuse rae. plea so." Short-Tail vanished with the snail. "My goodness, what an appetite!" exclaimed Peter, as he waited. ? 1)33. by T. W.

Most of the average golfers do not possess both suppleness and strength here and for these players the springy steel shaft In a measure offsets their de ficiency. In this way they are able to get more distance to their shots without the shock that the thicker, less plloble shaft would necessarily give. Supplementing this springy shaft with a deep, heavy-faced club will glre a feeling of life to the club that will undoubtedly result In better play for the average player.
