WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON NEW YORK.—Gen. Satumio Ce dillo, the feudal chieftain of the province of San Luis Potosi, is mov ing out of the ruck as the No. 1 menace to the Gen. Cedillo Cardenas adminis No. 1 Menace tration, according to Cardenas aU °"e ,ca“ glean at this crossroads. A friend of this writer, an oil op erator who has reasons for remain ing anonymous, brings news from Mexico that the big, swarthy Mesti zo, the most conspicuous hold-out on . the state agrarian program, is gain ing a following in a long sweep of Mexican provinces, and, in this view, dissident factions will swarm in behind him, if there is a further drift toward civil war. He has the friendship and backing of various foreign inter ests, according to my informant, and around his hnge, stolid, grim person there is gathering powerful opposition to the gov ernment. He is a self-made fighting man who served his apprenticeship in va rious minor work-outs, before the big upheaval of 1910, when old Por firio Diaz was overthrown. He joined this revolt, but called him self a “conservative revolutionist.” He never liquidated his personal army, now numbering about 10,000, and his autocratic He Keep* Up state is firmly en Own Army of cysted in the con 10, 000 Men stitutional com monwealth. When he resigned as secretary of agri culture on August 16, of last year, It was reported that he had made a truce with President Cardenas, but that talk seems to have been pre mature. He was a member of the Na tional Revolutionary party com mittee of 1934, which drafted Mexico’s six-year agrarian and economle plan, but has been a determined and effective oppo nent of such fixings, particularly the Cardenas agrarian plan. My friend picks Senors Cardenas and Cedillo as the two strong men of Mexico, one being driven left and the other right by the present social tension. WWW THE Swiss bell-ringers, the one armed trap-drummer, the circus ring-master and all such supposedly busy and preoccupied people are just snoozing along Tap-Drummer compared to Dr. Has Nothing Morris Fishbein, on Fishbein goal-keeper against medical quacks, heresies, panaceas, innova tions, utopias and unsar.ctioned ex periments. When Dr. James H. Means, retir ing president of the American Col lege of Physicians, drops a few pro vocative words about self-imposed medical reform, they scarcely hit a press wire before Dr. Fishbein swings a devastating counter-asser tion. Dr. Fishbein is elaborately equipped and organized for timely blasts against any en croachment of subsidized or so cialized medicine. As editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, with head quarters in Chicago, he com mands a large staff of secre taries and assistant secretaries, trained like a fast ball club to field any challenge or dissent. He is undoubtedly the most highly publicized medical man in America. Through the journal, he reaches the nation’s 125,000 doctors; through Hy geia, the more popularized medical publication, he carries his message to many more thousands and is a prolific writer for national maga zines. He wolfs hundreds of exchanges and eight or ten medical books ev , ery week, lec Finda Time tares, speaks on for Fighta the radio, reviews on Quacka books> writes books and, always enjoying a fight, keeps up a fast running fight against the quacks. When he finished Rush Medical school, at the age of twenty-three, he had the choice of becoming a pathologist for the state of Indiana, or an assistant editor of the Jour nal of Medicine. He chose the latter. Mrs. Fish bein, who was Anna Mantel, serves through the war with him, traveling with him and as sisting him in the biggest and busiest job of medical journal ism ever attempted. They have three children. Dr. Fishbein, plump, affable, bald, and forty-eight years old, also is deep in art, music, literature, the drama, bridge, golf and public af fairs, exercising • sharp critical judgment in all these fields. He is a magnificent demonstration of how a knowing doctor can build up his basul metabolisms. • Consolidated Newt Feature*. WNU Service.

PHILLIP NOLAN, main, character of Edward Everett; Hale’s "A Man Without a Country,”: was stationed in Louisiana about the time that Aaron Burr made his first trip down there. Nolan was young and lonely and was flattered by the attentions of Burr. Soon Nolan’s name was linked with that of Burr, and the result was, that without any purpose of disloyalty to his country, Lieutenant Nolan was standing ready for trial by court martial. In the progress of the trial, the Judge asked Nolan if he had any thing to say anoui his loyalty to the United States. Exas perated at the com bination of events, Nolan cried out, “Damn the United States! I hope that I never hear the name again.” The judge and the court turned white. Withdrawing for dis cussion, they re- Elisabeth turned in 15 min- James utes. The judge read the verdict. “Mr. Nolan, you shall have your wish. The verdict of this court is that you will never again hear the name erf your country." The prisoner was taken aboard an American ship that sailed at once. When that ship had completed its voyage and was again nearing American waters, Mr. Nolan was transferred to another American ship, outward bound. The prisoner was treated kindly at all times and was given the best that each ship had to offer. At each meal he was invited to dine with an officer who was responsi ble that no one mention the United States or anything pertaining to it. Known as "Plain Buttons.” When the imprisonment first be gan, Nolan treated it with levity, but when it settled down into a routine of ships and voyages that showed no end he became sober, then remorse, then timid as a child. He lived for 50 years on the ships of the American navy, knowing per sonally more officers and men than any other, individual man. From time to time during all the years of this strange punishment, there occurred several crises in the life of Nolan. He possessed a beau tiful speaking voice and was often invited to read to the assembled of ficers. One day Nolan was asked to read from the new book by Sir Wal HALE’S VARIED CAREER Edward Everett Hale, whose life was from 1823 to 1909, was one of the most voluminous writ ers of America; his works would fill ten large volumes. Although he used every type of writing except poetry, his permanent reputation rests on the two short stories, “My Doable and How He Undid Me," and "The Man With out a Country.” Hale followed many kinds of work; he was a preacher, a writ er, a lecturer, aud an active par ticipant in public affairs. Toward the end of his life, be was chap lain to the United States senate. ter Scott which someone had picked up in port. Everyone was com fortably listening when Nolan reached the passage, “Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land.” Nolan threw the book into the sea and rushed to his stateroom. He did not reappear for two months. Acts as Interpreter. During the long years of inactivi ty, Nolan mapped out a daily rou tine for himself. He followed a pro gram of regular study and became proficient in many subjects, includ ing foreign languages. One day the American ship came across a slave ship that had mutinied and was drifting. The slaves were freed of their chains, but they could not talk with the Americans to com municate their desires. Nolan was asked to interpret. The slaves spoke a dialect of Portuguese and they went wild with joy when they heard intelligible words. When the Ameri can officer stated that he would take them to a specific point of land and leave them, they set up a wail. No. No. Take us home! And they began to cry out the names of the mem bers of their families that they wanted to see. Nolan was inter preting each side to the other. His voice became huskier and huskier. In desperation to end the painful scene, the American officer cried out, “All right, tell them that I will take them home!” Nolan was more than 70 years old when he died. One night he sent for one of his friends to come to his stateroom. When the friend entered the stateroom and looked around, he saw what appeared to be a shrine to America. The American eagle had been drawn on the ceil ing. On the wall was a picture of Washington, draped in an American flag. On the foot of the bed was a map of America. All of which Nolan had drawn from memory. • B«U Syndicate.—WNU Service. . AGENTS UMTI HELL » tOKtC.
