The Alamance gleaner VOL. LXII. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY OCTOBER 1, 1936. NO. 35. News Review of Current Events the World Over League of Nations Assembly Seats Ethiopians ? American Legion Elects Colmery Commander ? Japanese Marines Occupy Part of Shanghai. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western Newspaper Union. HAILE SELASSIE couldn t whip the Italians in the Ethiopian war, but the fugitive emperor won the battle of Geneva and put Benito Mus solini's nose out of Joint. After an ex citing debate, the League of Nations assembly voted, 39 to 4, to seat the Ethiopian delega tion, now headed by the emperor's Amer ican adviser. The negative votes were cast by Hungary, Haile Selassie Austria and Albania, all under the thumb of Italy, and Ecuador. Ethi opia, Portugal and four other coun tries refrained from voting. Rather surprisingly Great Britain and France espoused the cause of Ethi opia, though it had been thought they considered the co-operation of Italy in the league of more impor tance than justice to the African realm. The heated debate was closed when Capt. Anthony Eden, British foreign minister, said: "Enough of this nonsense! There never has been any sufficient ground to unseat the Ethiopian delegation." The credentials committee in rec ommending the action taken said it applied to the present session only. Its report asserted that certain doc uments which had been received by the members alleged that Ethiopian governmental authority has been set up in sections of Ethiopia not occu pied by the Italians. Seating of the Ethiopians made it certain that no Italian delegation would attend this session, and it was believed by many taat Mussoli ni might withdraw formally from the league. It was a victory not only for Ethiopia but also for the smaller European powers, which felt that league submission to Italy would be disastrous to their own security. Sir Samuel Hoare, first lord of the British admiralty, added to Italian resentment against Great Britain by declaring in London that the British intended to maintain their suprem acy in the Mediterranean and would modernize and consolidate their na val, military and air defenses be tween Gibraltar and the Suez ca nal "in the light of recent experi ence." Malta, he said, would re main the first and principal base of the British fleet in the Mediterrane an and would be strengthened to meet conditions. Work on Cyprus as a military, naval and air base is being hurried to make that island a complement to Malta. Sir Samuel asserted that the development of Italian air power has not endan gered the British position in the Mediterranean. '"P HREE members of the mari time commission authorized in the closing days of the last congress were appointed by President Roose velt. They are : Rear Admiral Hen ry A. Wiley, U.S.N, retired; Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, coast guard; George Landick, Jr., chief of the planning section of the pro curement division of the Treasury department. The commission will administer the ship subsidy measure act as a regulatory body in conduct of mer chant marine affairs, and operate generally in the nature of the inter state commerce commission. VETERANS of two great con flicts, the World war and the Civil war, held their annual con ventions, the American Legion meeting in Cleve land and the Grand Army of the Repub lic in Washington. The legion elected Harry W. Colmery, a lawyer of Topeka, Kan., as its nation al commander and awarded next year's convention to New York city. Mayor La Guardia person ally led the Gotham delegation in the big Harry W. Colmery parade. This delegation included an impressive display of police and fire department bands, motorcycle squads and mounted offioers. In its business sessions the legion adopted a resolution asking the United States government to with draw its recognition of aoviet Rus sia. Other resolutions approved called for a 90 per cent reduction in inunigration quotas and deporta tion Of all aliens who are anarch ists, communists, or affiliated with the Third Internationale ; the remov al from public relief rolls of aliens who have not applied for citizen ship; universal application of the fingerprinting system in this coun try, and an investigation of methods used in disseminating "subversive doctrines." The legion band championship was won by the Musicians' post, No. 394, of St. Louis, Mo.; second place went to Franklin post band of Columbus, O., and third to Musi cians' post of Los Angeles. The Commonwealth Edison post drum and bugle corps of Chicago won the drum corps tournament. Only about nine hundred surviv ors of the Union army were able to attend the G. A. R. encampment, and many believe it will be the last tc be held. The aged warriors, headed by Oley Nelson of Iowa, the national commander, began their proceedings with a service in Wash ington cathedral. The route of their parade was six blocks on Pennsyl vania avenue, the scene of the grand review of the Union armies before President Andrew Johnson seventy one years ago. C. H. Williams Ruhe of Pitts burgh, who ran away from home 72 years ago to join the Union army when he was only a lad of fifteen, today was unanimously elected to be commander-in-chief, and Madi son, Wis., was named as the en campment city for 1937. ASSERTIONS made by William Randolph Hearst and other op ponents of the New Deal that the President "passively accepts" the support of the Com munists have got under Mr. Roose velt's skin. A state ment issued through Stephen T. Early, his secretary, said: "My attention has been called to a c e r tain notorious newspaper owner to make it appear that the President pas W. B. Hearst sively accepts the support of alien organizations hostile to the Ameri can form of government. "Such articles are conceived in malice and born of political spite. They are deliberately framed to give a false impression, in other words to 'frame' th? American people. "The President does not want and does not welcome the vote or sup port of any individual or group tak ing orders from alien sources. "This simple fact is, of course, ob vious. "The American people will not permit their attention to be diverted from real issues to fake issues which no patriotic, honorable, de cent citizen would purposely inject into American affairs." Mr. Hearst, who was in Amster dam, promptly replied by cable, saying in part: "Let me say that I have not stated at any time whether the President willingly or unwillingly received the support of the Karl Marx Socialists, the Frankfurter radicals, commu nists and anarchists, the Tugwell bolsheviks, and the Richberg rev olutionists which constitute the bulk of his following. "I have simply said and shown that be does receive the support of these enemies of the American sys tem of government, and that he has done his best to deserve the support of all such disturbing and destruc tive elements."> p OUR Chinese gunmen In Shang " hai killed one Japanese marine and wounded two others, and with in a few minutes a Japanese land ing party more than 2,000 strong had occupied much of the Hongkew section of the international settle ment. The Japanese naval com mander declared martial law in that area and troops stopped buses and street cars in the search for the slayers. Tanks, armored cara, light artillery and machine gun squads poured through the streets and on into Chapei, the Chinese dis trict that was the scene of furious fighting between the Japanese and the Chinese Nineteenth route army in 1932. Because of killings in Hankow and Pakhoi, Japanese marines already had been landed in those cities. Transports bearing reinforcements arrived from Japan. ? TPOM K. SMITH of St. Louis, Mo., A was elected president of the American Bankers association at the convention in San Francisco. Orval Adams of Salt Lake City was advanced to the first vice presiden cy, though it was said this was op posed by some because of his pro nounced anti-New Deal convictions. The executive council will select the meeting place for the 1937 con vention. Mexico City was the only one to make a bid for the choice. Resolutions reported by the com mittee and adopted called on gov ernmental divisions ? national, state and local ? to bring their expendi tures more definitely under control and return to balanced budgets, and recommended that chartering of new banks be limited rigidly to the economic needs of the nation. rjEORGE P. JONES of Minne " sota, who has been serving as a special assistant to the attorney general of the United States since 19.34, has been made judge of the federal district court for the Virgin Islands. This is a recess appoint ment by President Roosevelt and is subject to confirma tion by the senate. Mr. Jonej planned to leave for St. Thomas about Octo ber 1. He succeeds Judge Albert C. G. P. -Jones Levitt of Connecticut, who resigned August 1 because, as he alleged, the Department of the Interior in terfered with the processes of his court. The oath of office was admin istered to Mr. Jones in Washington by Ugo Carusi, executive assistant to Attorney General Cummings, in the presence of Mr. Cummings and a number of other officials. HIEFS of police of the United States and Canada, attending the convention of their international association in Kansas City, drew this picture of the typical Ameri can criminal of 1936: A lazy, vain, moderately educat ed city youth whose parents have separated; shielding his laziness and an inferiority complex behind a false bravado that leads him into crime; motivated by a desire to impress "the girl friend" with a flashy appearance of wealth. Chief William J. Quinn of San Francisco said the large majority of the 6,000 inmates of San Quentin prison are under twenty-four years of age and that 98 per cent of them come from broken homes. SEVERAL columns of Spanish Fascists and Moorish legion naires were reported to be making a determined drive toward Madrid under the direction of General Franco, and the loyalists were fall ing back at the rate of five mile* ? day. The rebel garrison of the Alcazar in Toledo was still holding out though the government forces, after dynamiting part of the old fortress, made attacks with flaming gasoline. The defenders lost heavily but the survivors kept up their deadly ma chine gun fire and repulsed the charges of the loyalists. The American State department ordered the emMSsy in Madrid closed and warned all Americans ?till in the capital that they re mained at their own risk. The consulate at Malaga also was closed and the consul went to Gibraltar. IMMEDIATE action toward put ting in operation a two-fold crop insurance and drouth prevention program was called (or by Presi M. L. Cooke dent Roosevelt. It is designed to guard the farmers and the consumers against the danger of food shortages or price collapses. Two com mittees were named to work out legisla tion to be asked of the next congress. Mr. Boose velt named Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace chairman of a commit tee directed to "prepare a report and recommendation* for legislation providing a plan of "all risk crop insurance," and suggested that the system provide for payment of pre miums and insurance in commodi ties. Morris L. Cooke, rural electrifica tion administrator, vras named chairman of another committee to draft recommendations for a per manent land use program designed to avert drouth emergencies in the great plains area. SPECULATION concerning what part A1 Smith would take in the Presidential campaign seems to be settled by the news that be will deliver several anti-Roosevelt ad dresses, the first probably in Carne gie hall in New York in October. He is reported to be making out his own program and planning talks also in Massachusetts and New Jer sey. Reunion of the Fairbanks Fariftf$\in America The members of the Fairbanks Family in America, Inc., who attended the thirty-fourth annual reunion of the family at the Fairbanks homestead in Dedham, Mass., shown being photographed by the family photog rapher on the lawn. The homestead was built in 1636 by Jonathan Fairbanks, and the three-hundredth anni versary of the building was celebrated at the reunion. Members of the family came from all parts of the United States. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS JERRY MEETS WITH AN ACCIDENT IF JERRY MUSKRAT had not still 4 been suspicious of Farmer Brown's Boy the accident might not have happened. Then again it might, if not at that particular time at some other and less fortunate time. Anyway, it happened, and Jerry will not soon forget it. He was a little way up the Laugh Jerry's First Though' Wat That He Had Stepped Into Another of Those Dreadful Traps. ing Brook that morning when he heard some one coming down the Laughing Brook. By the sound he knew that it was one of those two legged human creatures and at once Jerry started pell-mell back toward the Smiling Pool. Now the water in the Laughing Woolen Ensemble Blue green is the color of this chic woolen ensemble Its very short jacket has tuxedo re vers of black Persian and its simple dress is made with an adjustable scarf neckline. The unusual belt with the entwined horns effect is of black <?*1f Brook was low. In many places it was too low for swimming, so Jerry ran along the shore just under the edge of the bank. Then were many roots of trees and bushes from which the water had washed away the earth, and they crossed and re crossed each other. Sometimes Jer ry ran under them and sometimes he jumped over them, whichever seemed easiest and best. Now Jerry was in such a hurry to get back to the Smiling Pool that he didn't watch his steps as he should have. Perhaps it was be cause at the same time he was trying to watch behind him to see who it was that was coming. Any way, in jumping over some of those tangled roots he didn't jump quite far enough and one hind foot slipped down between them. It went in easy enough, but when Jeiry tried to pull it out it didn't come. It was held fast. You see his weight had forced two roots apart just enough to allow his leg to slip down be tween, and now they pinched it tight. Jerry's tirst thought was that he had stepped in another of those dreadful traps. He hadn't a doubt of it. He was quite frantic with fear, and he tugged and wrenched with all his might. It was a won der that he didn't break his leg. But the more he struggled the tight er he was held. You see, that leg began to swell at once where it was caught, and, of course, the more it swelled the more impossible it was to get it free. Poor Jerry! Hope died as he heard the footsteps coming nearer and nearer. He twisted around so as to get a good look at the trap, and when he discovered that it wasn't a trap at all that hela him he could hardly believe his eyes. The dis covery would have been a great re lief had it not been for those foot steps coming nearer and nearer. "If I had time I could gnaw those roots off," thought Jerry as he wrenched and twisted and pulled. But there wasn't time, and so he continued to struggle, hoping to get free before he should be discovered. c T. W. Burgess. ?

Fred Hicks, a restaurant owner, Mrs. Hicks and the ten Hicks kids chartered a big transport plane, flew to Cleveland, circled the city a few times, and then returned, satisfied for another year. It all started in 1937 when one of the little Hickses promoted himself an airplane ride. Hicks, Sr., decided to taka the whole family, and they liked it so well they've been doing it every year since.
