The Alamance Gleaner , L- LXII. GRAHAM, IN, C., THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 1936. NO. 34. - News Review of Current Events the World Over Senator Couzens Defeated in Michigan Primaries ? Maine Recaptured by Republicans ? Notable Gathering of Savants at Harvard Tercentenary. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Newspaper Union. REPUBLICANS were highly grat ified by the results of the Michi gan primary election for two rea sons: First, because three out of hve person- who went to the polls asked for Republi can ballots; second, bee a u s e Senator Jame? Couzens, a Republican who has openly declared that he is supporting President Roosevelt for re-election, lost his fight for re nomination, u o u z- ? ens, one of the Cooiens wealthiest members of the senate, was badly defeated by former Gov. Wilbur M. Brucker, and there is more than a suspicion that he knew his fate beforehand. Brucker, who is only forty-two years old, has been in public life for almost twen ty years. The Republicans re-nom inated Frank D. Fitzgerald for the governorship. On the Democratic side Repre sentative Prentiss M. Brown won the senatorial nomination against Louis B. Ward who was supported by Father Coughlin. For governor they chose Frank Murphy, high commissioner to the Philippines and former mayor of Detroit. Both Mur phy and his defeated opponent, George Welsh, campaigned as Roosevelt supporters. In the New Hampshire primaries Gov. H. Styles Bridges won the Re publican senatorial nomination, end ing the effort of former Senator George H. Moses to stage a come back. The Democrats put up Rep resentative William N. Rogers. Nominees for governor are Maj. Francis P. Murphy, Republican, and Amos N. Blandin, Democrat Massachusetts will have for sena tor either Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., Republican, or James M. Curley, now governor, Democrat. John W. Haigis, Republican, and Charles F. Hurley, Democrat, were nominated for the governorship- ? The gubernatorial nominees In Wisconsin are: Gov. Philip La Fol lette. Progressive; Alexander Wi ley, Republican, and Arthur W. Lueck, Democrat. A/fAINE, the "barometer" state, ^ ' is back in the Republican column at least so far as its state ticket is concerned. Tfie G. O. P. captured the United States senator ship, the governorship and three congressional seats. Senator Wal lace H. White, Republican, defeated Gov. Louis J. Brann, who sought to unseat him. Lewis O. Barrows, Republican, won the governorship by a substantial majority over F, Harold Dubord, Democrat. The vote cast broke all records for size and interest in the election was intense. The state had been visited by both President Roosevelt, as he returned from his vacation cruise, and Gov. All M. Landon, the Republican Presidential nomi nee, who made speeches there only a few days ago. Colonel Knox, vice presidential candidate on the Re publican ticket, also had canvassed the state. Brann, who was elected governor in 1932 and re-elected two years later, was the first Democrat to hold that office in Maine and was personally popular. White was elected senator in 1930 after ten years in the house. SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WALLACE has approved the new $10,000,000 seed com loan pro gram of the AAA. The government will advance farmers two types of loans on seed corn stored on the farm. Advances of $1.75 a bushel will be made to farmer; on 1,000, 000 bushels of selected corn. The government will have the option of buying this corn at $3.50 ? bushel up to April 1, 1937. The second type of loan permits advances of 55 cents a bushel on "good quality and properly stored cribbed corn which can be sorted for seed at a later date." On the latter type of loan the government retains the right to purchase the collateral at $1.50 a bushel until April 1 next. It is understood the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation has agreed to advance up to $10,000,000 under the loan program. The loans will be made to farmers through the Commodity Credit corporation. The interest rate on the new loans will be 4 per cent, the same as was in ?ffect under the old corn loan program. p EDERAL government help to 1 controlling their business has been asked by two large sections of the tobacco industry. The Retail Tobacco Dealers of America, Inc., representing about 300,000 retailers of tobacco prod ucts, requested the federal trade commission to authorize a trade practice conference with a view for formulating rules for the elim ination of unfair methods of compe tition and trade abuses. Representatives from nine tobac cc producing states wound up a two day conference in Washington with a request addressed to the agricul tural adjustment administration to draft a model production control bill. C* OR the first time in seven years 1 the United States is to have a squadron in European Atlantic wa ters. It is known as "Squadron 40 temporary" and Rear Admiral Ar thur P. Fairfield was named as its commander. Admiral Fairfield hoisted his flag aboard the light cruiser Raleigh at the Norfolk navy yard and sailed for Gibraltar. At first the squadron will consist of the flagship Raleigh, the destroyers Kane and Hatfield and the coast guard cutter Cayuga, but navy of ficials expected its strength would be increased soon. The Hatfield, Kane and Cayuga had been on emergency duty in Spanish waters since the outbreak of the Spanish revolt until they were withdrawn to nearby neutr tl ports following the attempted bombing of the Kane by an unknown plane o ft Cadiz last August 30. IT IS pleasant to turn from war 1 and politics and read o? the do ings at Cambridge, Mass., where Harvard university is celebrating At A A uie tercentenary 01 its founding. In Sanders theater was held the academic reception for 554 scholars represent ing 502 universities, colleges and learned societies in every state of the Union and in forty foreign countries, and all of uiein wetuiug uie Dr. James B. caps, gowns and Conant hoods signifying their various degrees of scholar ship. President James B. Conant greet ed the guests, accepted their cre dentials and delivered a simple address of welcome. He noted that the assembly was an impressive demonstration of the solidarity of the academic world, and saw in the greetings of the delegates "the con tinued aspiration of mankind toward a universal fellowship based on hu man reason." Resfwnding on behalf of the dele gates, Prof. Elie Cartan of the Uni versity of Paris paid tribute to Har vard's contributions to education and declared that "no barrier, po litical, religious or social, should be erected to stop the search for truth." When the delegates were called up in the order of the age of the institutions they represented, first to respond was Prof. Saleh Hashem Attia of Al-Azhar university of Cai ro, founded in 970. Then came the next oldest, the Regia university, Neglie Stuni Bologna, founded in the Tenth century, and represented by Prof. Carrado Gini. Third was the University of Paris, founded in the Eleventh century, whose repre sentative was Dr. Cartan. Oxford, Cambridge and all the others fol lowed, down to the youngest repre sented, the Academia Sinica of Nan king, China. World famous educators, scien tists and men of letters including ten Nobel prize winners, were among those who attended the. reception. FRANCE'S famous polar explor er, Dr. Jean Charcot. and 59 of the crew of SO aboard tHe explora tion ship Pourquoi Pas were drowned when the vessel foundered in a gale off the Iceland coast. One petty officer Swam ashore and told of the tragedy. Charco. led two ex peditions to the Antarctic and a re gion there is named for him, Char cotland. ' In 1925, when one of Roald Amundsen's north polar expeditions was missing, Charcot searched the east coast of Qrtenland in the Pour quoi Pas. p OPE PIUS XI may be physically 1 weak, as recent reports say, but age and illness have not lessened the vigor of his opinions and his way of expressing them. In greeting and blessing some five hundred Span ish refugees who were received at Castel Gandolfo, the holy father took oc casion to denounce strongly the "mad" forces of Commu nism which, he de clared. menacnl in Spain and else- Pop? Pins XI where, "the very foundations of all order, all culture and all civiliza tion." He urged the constituted authorities of all nations to oppose "these great evils with every reme dy and barrier that is possible" and prophesied that there will be utter chaos if "those who have a duty in the matter do not hasten to repair the breach? if, indeed, it is not al ready too late." The pope spoke especially of the situation in Spain, but said the crisis there is "a school in which the most serious lesson is being taught to Europe and to the whole world ? to a world now at last wholly steeped, ensnared and threatened by subversive propaganda, and more especially to a Europe bat tered and shaken to its very founda tion." For forty minutes the pontiff spoke passionately, his voice at times broken with emotion, and his address was transmitted by radio to all the civilized world. Reichsfuehrer Hitler, too, took another hard whack at the Com munists at a ceremonial tribute to the World war dead in Nuremberg. Before 120,000 uniformed Nazis and 50,000 others he boasted of Ger many's armed strength and shouted: "Our old enemy, bolshevism, is vanquished within Germany, but still active around her borders. But let no one be deceived. We are ready . at any hour. We all have one wish? to maintain peace ? but with it goes one firm decision: Never to surrender Germany to that enemy we have come to know so well." If Hitler, as some think, tries to lead the coming five-power Locarno conference into forming an anti Soviet alliance, he will be firmly opposed by France. Foreign Min ister Yvon Delbos says so, and de clares France will under no circum stances abandon her military pact with Soviet Russia. According to Pravda, authorita tive newspaper of Moscow, Hitler plans to attack and partition Czecho slovakia before he embark? on a war against the Soviet union. Benito Mussolini and his cabinet appropriated large sums to build up Italy's army, navy and air forces to greatei strength and planned to carry on vigorously the campaign for self-sufficiency in raw materials. It looked as if the dove of peace was preparing to leave Europe,' and as relations between Japan and China grew more strained every day, she probably will have to take, refuge on the western continent. T HE Spanish rebels scored their greatest victory to date when they captured San Sebastian, cap ital of Guipuzcoa province and fa mous Bay of Biscay resort. Santa Barabara fort, dominating the city, was first taken and the city's war council then decided to abandon the place, despite the opposition of the anarchists. The more conservative Basque nationals prevented the reds from burning the city, only a paper factory and two residences being destroyed, and the defending forces retreated toward Bilbao, accompa nied by thousands of civilians and foreigners. OUR navy's intelligence depart ment has discovered that a recent small fire on the cruiser Indianapolis while -the was being overhauled in the New York navy yard was caused by the driving of phonograph needles and nails in to an electric cable; and other sus pected sabotage on war vessels is being investigated. The work on the cruiser was being done by civilian employees and Capt. Charles A. Dunn, industrial manager of the yard, said the placing of the nails in the cables was "undoubted ly" a deliberate attempt to damage the cruiser. SECRETARY OF AGRICUL TURE WALLACE Is arranging a series of community meetings of farmers for the purpose of laying out the "agricultural conservation program" for next year. He said the AAA plartned the meetings in the farm areas in order to discuss crop insurance and possible max imum limits of benefit payments to each farm. He explained the program aimed at providing "great er abundance for the average American home," and should "help to check soil erosion, improve fer tility, encourage better land use and maintain farm Income, ** Yes, He Caught Enough for His Friday Dinner These five giant tuna fish, weighing 3,340 pounds, and a shark weighing 770 pounds, were caught off Liver pool, Nova Scotia, by the famous amateur fisherman, Dr. John R. Brinkley, of Del Rio, Texas. He is shown with his son. The tuna on the left, 788 pounds, was bigger than the tuna caught by Zane Grey which held the previous record. )Au Thornton W Burtfess I t JH J yf * * * * t * * ? a ' * * ? t ? - ' ? * M m A M a a m Vl . * u JERRY'S SUSPICION DIES HARD /~)NCE faith and trust have been driven out by suspicion it is twice as hard to restore them as it was to establish them in the first place. That is why any one who plants in the mind of another suspicion of some one else does the very worst kind of an injury if it happens that there are no grounds for a suspicion. Just take the case of Jerry Musk He No Longer Swam About Freely When Farmer Brown'* Boy Wat There as He Used To. rat and Farmer Brown's Boy. Through kind aqd thoughtful deeds for a long time Farmer Brown's < Boy had established faith and trust in the minds of Jerry Muskrat and all the other little people of the Green Forest, the Green Meadows, and all the Smiling Pool. They had learned to regard him as a ' true friend. Then along had comi a Neat Play Suit This play (uit created by Vera Borea is made like a child's romp ers. It is dark gray toile with yellow gold buttons and a short I ! jacket of yellow gold ribbed velvet, j I stranger who also pretended to be i friend. Day after day he brought iainties for Jevy Muskrat until Terry regarded him just as he did Farmer Brown's Boy and wasn't ;he least bit suspicious. Then the stranger had set traps uid Jerry had been caught by the tail in one of them. It was just jood fortune that he had been able X) get away, but all Jerry's faith and trust in two-legged creatures :alled men had been destroyed. He was suspicious of every one of them, including Farmer Brown's Boy. To be sure the latter had taken away the stranger's traps and tiad left a notice warning the strang er to stop trapping along the Laugh ing Brook and around the Smiling Pool. But Jerry couldn't read that notice. All he knew was that the stranger had been good to him just as Farmer Brown's Boy had and then had set a trap for him. How could he be sure that Farmer Brown's Boy wouldn't do the same thing? So, though Farmer Brown's Boy came to the Smiling Pool every day and did everything he could think of to show Jerry that he was a true friend, Jerry continued to be suspicious. He no longer swam about freely when Farmer Brown's Boy was there, as he used to do. Instead, he remained hidden until Farmer Brown's Boy went away. Always the latter left good things for Jerry to eat, things Jerry was fond of ? pieces of sweet apple, car rot, parsnip, and pumpkin. But for a long time Jerry would not touch them. When at last he did venture to eat them it was only after a very careful search for hidden traps. The queer thing is that all the time Jerry wanted to trust Farmer Brown's Boy just as he had in the past. But the memory of his sore tail and his dreadful fright kept suspicion alive. It simply wouldn't die. Farmer Brown's Boy knew it was so and understood why. It made him sad, and also it filled him with anger towards Jie trap per who had destroyed the old faith and trust. Q T.
