GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, Mc
Donald. How the Europeans need
a Gulliver today! This most de
lightful fairy tale, which makes
the kids cackle with filee, Is mak
ing the older folks marvel at the
appropriateness of the theme of
this overstuffed "silly symphony"
in the present day scene of over
sea turmoil.
"You're too stubborn to think.
Now look what you've done!" How
well Gulliver's words could be
taken bv old world warriors. How
nearly do the cases ot Miller ana
Chamberlain fit those of the baby
kinK.s of the Lilliputians. They
fought over a song, whether their
royal children should be wed to
the tune of "Forever" or "Faith
ful." They ended up, as must even
Germany and England, by com
bining the melodies into a song 01
understanding of common sense.
Just let s hope that America
won't be the Gulliver again!
The natural thin, of course,
Is to compare "Gulliver" with
"Sno3V White." the first fea
ture cartoon. After seeint
Paramount's first major ad
venture with artist and col
ored pencil, It would be wise
to warn Mr. Disney that he's
got competition. To me. how
ever, aside from the deeper
"lesson" (which I Imagine the
kids are missing, hang it all)
which is taught by Author
Swift's classic. "Snow White"
Is a shade the best. Outstand
ing edge is the superiority of
the color and the graceful
ness of movement which you
will remember In the animals
in the forest scenes. Princess
Glory, however, is prettier
than was "Whltle." The thing
that caused me the biggest
bother was the Donald Duck
ish voice of Gabby!
The story, everyone knows, al
though it was unfamiliar to me
until the finale, concerns an ord
inary shipwrecked sailor who's
washed up, unconscious, on the
shore of a strange land. Inhabit
ants, strangely, arc two nations of
tiny mites. Their alarm after dis
covering the "giant on the beach"
makes them 'forget a war is im
pending. But after as hectic a
war of nerves as all of us went
through last summer, Mr. Gulli
ver emerges as the friend of man,
the great peacemaker.
Oh please, Hollywood, give
those European fools a Gulliver,

A comedian without his jokes
was George Glvot today. His wife,
who is suing for divorce, locked
his joke book in the house and
wouldn't give it up despite a court
order. . . Gov. Payne H. Ralner
of Kansas broke one of his own
laws while hurrying to speak at
the University of Kansas yester
day. His car broke down and he
thumbed a ride. It's illegal to
hitch-hike in Kansas. . . .

John L. Lewis Seen
As Bolting New Deal
Rv T.YLE C. WILSON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. J.R
John L. Lewis of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations today
is being counted out of the Roose
velt New Deal army which he
helped drill and feed in past cam
paigns. And it appears now that Lewis
has found a place to hang his po
litical hat in the pre-convention
campaign quarters of Sen. Burton
K. Wheeler, D., Mont., who is con
ducting an unannounced campaign
for the democratic presidential
nomination.
That suspicion Increased con
siderably yesterday when Wheel
er's office announced that Lewis
had invited the senator to address
the 50th anniversary convention
of the United Mine Workers in
Columbus, O., Jan. 23. It was not
one of those doubtful "come and
show us that you've got invita
tions," but an enthusiastic bid
which a candidate could exhibit
with some pride. And Wheeler evi
dently felt just that way about it.
Lewis and Mr. Roosevelt have
been pulling apart for some time
but without an open break and
none is suggested here. But it is a
fact that the man who four years
ago was actively organizing sup
Dort for the president's re-election
campaign and preparing to loan
and give some $500,000 to the cause
is working the other side of the
street today.

Soviet Officers Said
Called For Discipline
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 13.
Reports were received here today
that more than 100 Soviet Rus
sian officers had been called back
from the Finnish front, some of
them to face trial before special
courts.
The reports, which reached
Norwegian and Finnish quarters
from numerous sources, said the
officers would be tried before
courts consisting of people's com
missars. The Russian commissariat deal
ing with supplies was reported
especially to be under a penetrat
ing inquiry, which, it was said,
already has led to executions.
Immediate verification ot the
reports was lacking.
Observers here were inclined to
link the reports with the Moscow

Kaganovich had been relieved as
commissar for the Soviet aviation

other post."
