r - The Week at oij " WaaWniMany Americans "have . 'willed their estatesito Uncle Sam;ew, however, as .large or under circum stances comparable to the testament " of the late Oliver Wendell Holmes, for 29 years a Justice of the Supreme ha.U United States. After a substantial bequest to a nephew, only oiiitrlvimr near relative, Justice WnWa directed that the major por- tinn of Wa estate, valued at about $50tt.b00. be turned over to the Treas- ' ury Department to be used as it sees fit.: Estimates indicate the Govern- ment will be more than a quarter of a million richer. Washington With two sound drub bings administered withina few hours of each other, Huey ("Kingnsn'7 Lonsr spent a week-end planning new assaults on his pet aversions; Post master General Farley and anyone else with money. Washington is still speculating on which attack was the more blistering: General Hugh John' son's, via radio, or the Philippic de livered by Senator Robinson, Admin istration leader in the Upper House. Neither minced words in dealing with the "Kingfish", and both left the Louisianan's supporters wondering "where Huey would go from here." Washington Secretaries of Con gressmen have their own organiza tion: Washingtonians call it the "Little Congress." They planned "Hawaiian Night" in one of the big House caucus rooms, anounced hula- hula dances with hips and grass skirts, accompanied by steel-stringed guitars. They got the guitars and a perfectly proper lecture on the home life of the Hawaiians. Speaker Joseph W. Byrns drew the line at the hula hula in Congressional caucus rooms Rolls-Royce; Rolls of Money New York Negro Harlem's eyes bulged when one of it's deiites, Major J. ("Father") Divine, drew up at court in a swanky Rolls-Royce and later peeledoff two $500 bills as bail for . himself and his companion "Faithful Mary," on the charge of running a boarding house without license. The roll from which the $1,000 came wasn't even dented. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children charges "Father" Divine with tenanting his hundred lodging houses -chiefly with children, who are taught that he is God. "So he is, shrilled : half a hundred voices from the back of the court room. But the Court failed to agree; set substantial bail. Largest of the boarding houses is a one-time Turkish bath, with front steps of robin's egg blue. The "Father" steadily refuses to explain the Bourse of the big roll of bills and the bigger Rolls-Royce. New York "Some of us. are thro ugh with war; we'll meet you in prison first" Militant words from the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pacifist pastor of the hugh Rockefeller-built Riverside Church in this city. His message, sponsored by 200 other min isters of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, was addressed to the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States," who happens to be Franklin D. Roosevelt; protested against the vast demonstration by the Navy in the Pacific from May 3rd to June 10th, hailed as the most power ful concentration of warships under a single command in the history of the world. Dr. FosdicVii organization believes it to be an incentive to war. , Newspapers for Youngsters New York Youngsters .will now have their "own newspapers just like grown-ups. -i Fast upon the appearance of the: "Boys & Girls Newspaper" comes the announcement of "Young America".

Bankers believe this ends for the. time being any danger of inflation; also simplifies the na tion's currency. Bright Steel Outlook The country's two , greatest com panies released their 1934 financial reports this week. Chairman of both corporationsMyron C. layior.oi United States Steel, and Charles M. Schwab, of Bethlehem expressed op timistic views on' the strength of im proved figures. U. S. Steel reduced its deficit by $14,833,343, increased its employes 17,304 to a grand total of 189.881. boosted their .annual earn ings per hour to 70 cents, a gain of 15 per cent in favor oi workers, Bethlehem reported a net income of $550,751 against a 1933 loss of $8,- 735,723. The corporation increased its number of workers by 10,000, and they earned an average of 67 cents per hour, a gam of 20 per cent over the year previous. The two reports had a stimulating effect on business generally. The Week Abroad Trouble spots seem to develop daily in Europe, another much nearer home, Havana, Cuba. The long-drawn-out battle between disaffected Cuban workers, urged by student groups,' and a harassed administra tion, brought the rattle of machine- gun fire in Havana streets to quell i general strike which tied up all trans. portation, plunged the city in darkness when electric company employes walked out Spreading over the island, strikes threaten sugar produc tion. Paralysis of railway communi cation is aim of strike leaders. Athens Loyalist Greek army still at grips with strong revolutionary forces at many points in-4he Republic. The rebels occupy many strong posi tions, the occupation of which will en tail heavy loss of life on both sides. '?.-' . Budapest Hungary moved a ster nearer, the redistribution of feudal estates often promised by Premier Goomboes as a bid for peasant sup port One by one, aristocrats have been dropped from power; this work the Hungarian parliament stands dis solved and pew elections ordered bj Admiral (Nicholas Horthy, regent of Hungary. In the meantime, 1,600 a istocrats control 4,700,000 acres froi which nearly 5,000,000 peasants de rive a living. Peasants wt a great er spread of ownership and are look ing to the premier to keep : his promise. . . Corsica's Bad Boy to Die Corsica In his heyday Andre Spade was .the toughest outlaw in Corsica, which has had plenty -of them and ought to know. . Five hund red French troops hunted him with tanks . and artillery, an American newsreel concern paid him $2,000 for a few shots; a radio broadcast brought him $75 per minute. When the law caught up with Andre, hie said that he "always kissed the fore- neaos oi mose ne jauea w xorgivc them. After spending his days be fore trial busily knitting sweaters Andre last week heard himself sen- t-::ced to the guioe-m, he smiled. , ' v ' fiangkok-rAfter week's delay, Pre- mier Phy4 Phahol has finally informed Siamese people ihat ; their king has sWicatia Jfrlnce Ananda j!MaWdoli Americans remember the 'dteunutive ; frajajwk wflen jhe arrived in'Newt Yorltvtaree years ago, leased the late Mrs4 White- law.
