A ^m^tucd IV. PLoJuuxA V ^ SUMMARIZES THE WORT.n SUMMARIZES THE WORLD'S WEEK ? Western Newspaper Union. Big Flying Boat Destroyed CAMOAN CUPPER, huge flying ^ boat of the Pan-American Air ways, fell into the Pacific ocean near Samoa, carrying the seven i members 01 xne crew to their deaths. There were no pas sengers, for the ship was making one of its pioneering flights on the newly estab lished route across the Pacific. It was on the way from Pago Pago harbor, American Samoa, to c?? Ej-tac Aucwana, wew ^ea - Mm Ik land, and had turned back toward Pago Pago because of an oil leak. Pre sumably it was dumping gasoline to facilitate landing and the fuel ex ploded, destroying the plane. First in the list of victims was Capt. Edwin C. Musick, considered the most experienced ocean flyer in the world and chief pilot of the Pa cific division of Pan-American. He was one of the most conservative of flyers and officials of the com pany said he and his flight crew were entirely blameless for the disaster. Those who perished with Musick were First Officer Cecil G. Sellers, Junior Flight Officer Paul S. Brunk, F. J. MacLean, J. W. Stickrod, J. A. Brooks and J. T. Findlay. Plane Crashes in Rockies NE of Northwest Airlines' new Lockheed Zephyr passenger planes, flying from Seattle to Chi cago, struck a snow-covered peak of the Rocky mountains near Boze man, Mont., and was smashed and burned. All aboard, including eight passengers and two pilots, were killed, their charred bodies being found by a party that made its way through a raging blizzard to the scene of the accident. Officials of the company could not explain the disaster but said all ?hips of the new type were grounded pending investigation. Blow for La Follette \X7"ISCONSIN'S Supreme court * * gave a smashing blow to the La Follette program for public own ership of utilities when it declared the Wisconsin development author ity act unconstitutional, being an il legal delegation of the state's sov ereign governmental power to a pri vate corporation. By knocking out the WDA the court also sounded the death knell for the Wisconsin agricultural au thority act, court attaches said. Budget Message Summary X/tORE vitally important than his annual message on the state of the nation was President Roose velt's budget message to congress. In it he forecast a deficit of $1,088, 129,800 for the current fiscal year which ends on June 30, and a deficit of $949,606,000 for the 1939 fiscal year. Nearly a billion dollars was asked by the President for bational de fense because of "world conditions over which his nation has no con trol," and more may be called for soon for the same purpose. Summarized, the President's budget statement said: Revenues for the next fiscal year will total $5,919,400,000, a decrease of $401,076,000 from the present fe cal year. Expenditures, exclusive of debt retirements, will total $6,896,000,000, a decrease of $539,600,000 from the present fiscal year. National defense appropriations will total $991,300,000, an increase of $34,300,000. Later the President may ask for additional funds to construct several extra naval vessels. Relief expenditures for the next fiscal year will total roughly $1,138, 304,000, a decrease of $841,356,000 from the present fiscal year. More G.O.P. Programs DERTRAND SNELL, minority ^ leader in the house, and Col. Frank Knox, Republican candidate for the vice presidency in 1936, have set forth programs for the G. O. P. and other opponents of the New Deal. Mr. Snell in a ra dio address pro posed to restore confidence to the in vesting public and revive business ac tivity by stopping wasteful expendi " tures, balancing the Frank Knox budget and liquidat ing Roosevelt social and economic experiments that he said have in spired distrust of the government and fears of the destruction of the capitalist system. Colonel Knox, speaking at a din ner in Cleveland, declared that the Republican party must turn away from the high protective tariff, which it has championed for dec ades, and recognize that the time has come to reduce tariffs to meet changing conditions. "Protect wage standards, yes!" he said. "Continue to protect mo nopoly, no!" War Vote Plan Killed D EPRESENTATTVE LOUIS LUD ^ LOW'S war referendum resolu tion will not be acted on at present, for the house, by a vote of 209 to 188, left it in committee for the remainder of the session. This was a victory for the admin istration forces and was brought about after President Roosevelt himself had taken a hand in the controversy. Through a letter to Speaker Bankhead the President had warned congress that adoption of the resolution would hamper any chief executive in the conduct of for eign relations and would lead other nations to believe they could violate American rights with impunity. Jackson Day Feasts Democrats who partook of Jackson day banquets in vari ous large cities paid about $250,000 into the purse of the party's na tional committee. At the dinner in Washington President Roosevelt pleaded with the nation to under stand that his administration be lieves it is helping and not hurting business by the drive against mo nopolistic practices. His talk was rather conciliatory. At the New York banquet Jim Farley staged the debut of Robert H. Jackson, assistant attorney gen eral, as a candidate for the governor ship of the Empire state. The young lawyer, who has attracted public at tention recently by attacks on big business, was the principal speaker. At a luncheon party he admitted he would be the Democratic nominee for governor "it the party wants " Civil War in C.I.O. JOHN L. LEWIS, head of the C. u I. O., and David Dubinsky, who haa been one of his chief lieuten ant!, seem to have reached the part ing of the ways and have been lam basting each other in public with out restraint. Dubinsky, chief of the big International Ladies' Gar ment Workers' union, addressing 1,200 members of his executive boards, said Lewis was to blame foi the collapse of peace negotiations between the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L., and declared no one man had a mortgage on the labor movement. He also denounced the infiltration of Communists into the C. I. O. To this Lewis retorted with what Dubinsky called wisecracks, and the latter said: "I venture to say that, without distinction as to group or formation, the laboring masses of America are hungering and pray ing for peace and it is my belief, Mr. Lewis' wisecracking to the con trary notwithstanding, that they will not be denied such peace for long." Two More for Franco nuugary, after a conference with Italian Foreign Minister Ciano, announced their governments would recognize the Spanish regime of Gen. Francisco Franco. The two powers, linked with Italy by the Rome pact, expressed sym pathy with the Rome-Berlin axis and a determination to fight Com munist propaganda, but did not fol low Italy into the anti-Communist pact with Germany and Japan. Japanese Too Arrogant Great Britain's government, according to dispatches from London, has finally been driven by Japanese arrogance at Shanghai to officials of Austria and ance. The invaders have been demand ing full control of the captured city, to the virtual exclusion of other foreign in terests, and their troops there have treated British po licemen in the inter national settlement very rougniy. Prime Minister has taken personal command of a British program designed to curb the Japanese expansion of power, and is keeping Washington and Paris fully informed of his plans and actions. Also he has been in frequent telephonic conversation with Foreign Minister Eden. A high government official in Lon don said Chamberlain had resolved "not to stand for Japanese use of military superiority in the present emergency to force concessions in Shanghai." It was made plain that Britain would act only in harmony With the United States and France. That the Japanese are not afraid of Great Britain was indicated by a statement by Rear Admiral Tanet [ suga Sosa, retired, maintaining that it would be easy for the Japanese navy to reduce the British strong holds at Hongkong and Singapore before the British main fleet could get there. Sosa said the only thing that could save Britain was to draw the United States into the war. Naval Building Race DURANCE'S reply to the recent an * nouncement that Italy would build two 35,000 ton battleships ia the decision to construct two battle ships of 42,000 tons each, exceeded in size only by the British battle cruiser Hood. The navy committee of the chamber of deputies was pre paring to ask Minister of Finance Georges Bonnet to supplement the 1938 naval budget by 2,000,000,000 francs from the sorely pressed treasury to keep ahead of Musso lini's forces at sea. Marriage Mills Stopped T NDIANA'S notorious marriage ^ mills were given a death blow when the State Supreme court up held a statute enacted 86 years ago forbidding county clerks to issue marriage licenses to women who are not residents of the county in which the license is issued. The decision was hailed by of ficials of states that have raised their marital standards by enacting hygienic laws regulating issuance of marriage licenses. Civil Service Lags fONGRESS was told by the civil ^ service commission that its fail ure to place employee* of newly cre ated government agencies was be coming "a matter of grave public concern." In its annual report the commis sion said there was no important ex tension of the civil service during the fiscal year of 1037. "Wholesale exemptions such as have been permitted in the last year must cease if the merit system is to prevail," the commission said. ?y, Thornton W Burgess PETER RABBIT FINOS BUMBLE BEE If you look lor Bumble Bee Never, never heedless be Or. Uke Peter Rabbit, you Kay have cause your ?earcb to rut. IT SEEMED to Peter Rabbit that 1 never had he known Bumble Bee to keep out of sight so long when there were plenty of bright-faced Sowers. In fact it seemed to Peter as he thought it over that Bumble always had been one of those people who are forever poking in where they are not wanted. Now when he was wanted he couldn't be found. Peter had run his legs almost off among the brightest flowers on the Green Meadows without once see ing Bumble or even hearing his everlasting hum, though two or three times Bumble had but just left a group of flowers when Peter arrived. Quite discouraged he sat down to rest and get his breath. By and by along came the Merry Little Breezes of Old Mother West Wind. They were dancing and skipping in the happy way which is always theirs and when they saw Peter they rushed over to him and rumpled his hair and pulled his whiskers. "What's the matter with our hap py-go-lucky Peter?" they cried. "Nothing very much, only I want to find Bumble Bee and can't," re "Box-i-t! Serves Ton Right (or Pok btf Your Noie in Where It Doesn't Betong." pliec* Peter, smiling in spite of him self. "Can't And Bumble!" cried the Merry Little Breezes. "Where have you looked tor him, Peter?" "I've looked among all the bright est flowers on the Green Meadows," replied Peter, "and although he has visited many of them he hasn't stayed long enough for me to catch up with him." The Merry Little Breezes laughed. "Oh, Peter Rabbit!" they cried, haven't you been neighbor to Bum ble Bee long enough to know that you should look for him among the sweetest flowers? He loves to visit the brightest flowers, but it is the sweetest flowers he loves most, and with whom he stays the longest. If you would catch up with him go hunt for the sweetest flowers, Pe ter." So once more Peter started on to hunt for Bumble Bee, and this time instead of going by his eyes as be fore he went by his nose, for you know he was looking for the sweet est instead of the brightest flowers, but Just as before he had to keep his eyes wide open for danger and make sure that Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote were nowhere about and that Teddy Is Wealthy Here is "Teddy," un pedigreed but probably the nation'* wealthiest dog, (or he has $10,000. The money was left him by Mrs. Hattie A. Fletcher of San Diego, Calif., to insure that the remainder of his life be as comfortable as when she was alive. August J. Geek also was remembered in Mr*. Fletcher's will, for Geek is Teddy's dietician and valet, and selects Teddy's sirloins and short ribs. Redtall the Hawk was not In sight. It wu very exciting, but after a little it grew tiresome and Peter was almost tempted to give up hunt ing for Bumble Bee. But he didn't. At last as he drew near a little group of flowers he heard some thing that made him sit up and lis ten. It was a humming sound. Pe ter kicked up his heels for joy, for he knew that only one could ham like that and that one was Bumble Bee. Pellmell he scampered right in among the flowers. Bumble wasn't to be seen. Peter knew that he was deep in the heart of one of the flowers and eagerly he be gan to look into them and I am afraid he was a little rough with them. Now. of course, what Peter should have done was to sit up and wait for Bumble to come out. That would have been the polite thing to do, and it always pays to be po lite. But Peter was in too much of a hurry, and so he rushed from flower to flower and at last ? well, at last Peter found Bumble. Yes, sir, he found him, and then he wished he hadn't. You see Bumble is very quick tempered, and when Peter sudden ly thrust his wobbly little nose into the flower where Bumble was hard at work extracting honey. Bumble felt that no one elM had any busi ness there and promptly thrust a little lance into Peter's nose. My, how Peter squealed and danced. "Buz-z-tl Serve* you right for poking your nose in where it doesn't belong," grumbled Bumble as he prepared to fly away. ?T. W. Burgeaa.? WNU S*rvftc?.

BARBER ALMOST every housekeeper has some precious recipes which provide dishes that the family es pecially likes and that her guests appreciate because of some individ ual touch. Whenever I can add a recipe of this sort to my collection, I feel that I am indeed fortunate, and I feel sure that you will like to have me share some of these with you. Some times, when I am given a cherished recipe, it is with the stipulation that I do not share it with anyone else. Again I am allowed to publish it in my column, perhaps with the hope that no friend or relative will send it back to the town of its origin. I did hear of one which returned to a southern city by India, Paris and New York. Recipes of this sort are not al ways novel to everyone, but when they have been a specialty and are extremely good, they attain a sort of glamor. In any case, they are al ways delicious. Here are two which have been presented to me by their owners within the last few months.

Taylor Asserted Ha Was Not Fit to B? President James H. Beard, the Ohio-bred artist, who devoted more than 00 years to wielding the palette and brush, once while painting a por trait of Gen. Zachary Taylor told the militarist that he was very much opposed to his nomination to the presidency. Although born in Buf falo in 1814, Beard spent his boyhood in Painesville and a number of years in his studio in Cincinnati. While on a Journey down the Mississippi to New Orleans, relates a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, he stopped at Baton Rouge, La., to paint a large, almost life KNOW THYSELF by Dr. George D. Greer * WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TEBMS "EXTKAVEBT" AND "INTBOVEBT"? A N INTROVERT is a person who lives chiefly within himself. He is quiet, withdrawing from social life, prefers to work alone, is imag inative, sensitive, careful about de tails, and likely to worry over small matters. He day-dreams and lives much in his inner imaginative life which he does not express to other people. An extravert is just the op posite: he lives externally, likes to be with other people, is a good mix er, careless about details but ex cellent as a promoter and organizer, is a leader, is often "happy-go lucky," and does not tend to worry. His feelings are not easily hurt, and he prefers activity to sechnive ness. Most people are a mixture at these traits, and are called amhi verts. Copyright. ? WlfD Berries. modern young mother has troubles, we know. But one of the worst, it seems to us, is how to retain her dignity while in the park with the little darling. Little darlings have a habit of diving bead first into ash cans, leaping thought lessly over fences, or suddenly tak ing to the open road. An alert mother, no matter bow new her suit is, or how unstable her hat, has to be prepared to do the life saving act at almost any moment. But to cut the actual physical pur suit of stray young ones down to the minimum, we would suggest that every mother carry a whistle tied on a ribbon around her neck. Two shorts and a long for Johnny. Mo longs and a short for Betsy. B you would train the children to ruprwil automatically to the right whistle, it would be easier.

For very small youngsters at the crawling stage, a ribbon tied around his wrist and Mom's, with plenty at length, isn't a bad idea. A mother can read a book in comfort, then, knowing that when baby gets too far away a jerk at the wrist will call attention to that fact. Of course, sometimes you get tangled up in the shrubbery that way. And there are children who seem to be able to get into trouble, no matter how lit tle ropCT you give them. But if youra are like that, you ? probably gave up reading books long ago, anyhow.

Without wincing. General Taylor smiled and replied: "You are right. I am no more fit to be President than you are. Don't vote lor me."
