HAS OPERATION
Detroit. Nov. 28 (fl For the first
time In his 69 years, Henry Ford was
a hospital patient today, recovering
from an operation for relief from
strangulated femoral hernia and for
removal of his appendix.
A series of bulletins from the sick
room in the hospital that bears .his
name, gave reiterated assurance to
an anxious world that the motor
magnate, sometimes called its best
known citizen, was making "satis
factory" progress.
From unofficial but professional
sources, however, came word that
the "crisis' following such opera
tions usually occurs about 48 hours.
In the case of Mr. Ford that would
be late today, for the operation was
performed about 5 p.m. Saturday.
In his favor were his previous good
health, for it was his boast that "I
have never been sick a day in my
life," and the fact that a new type
of anaesthetic used in the operation
imposed a minimum of strain upon
his heart.
The bulletins were terse but op
timistic. The latest, at 11 p.m., said
the patient "had a good day and
his condition is satisfactory." A 4:30
bulletin gave Mr. Ford's temperature
as 100 and his pulse as 72. In the
present case, no news Is construed
as good news, for at the time of the
11 p.m. bulletin, physicians said no
more would be Issued until late
morning unless a change occurred.

DOAK ASSERTS
LIFE THREATENED
BY RACKETEERS
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 28 flP
Rallying the American federation of
labor against the "evil of racketeer
ing," Secretary of Labor William N.
Doak told the convention today, "the
time has come to call a spade a
spade.'
Digressing from his prepared text,
Secretary Doak implied that threats
had been made against his life by
labor racketeers.
"It Is unpleasant to be called out
at night by telephone by some one
saying they are going to kill you
but I am still here, and the attacks
on racketeering will continue," he
said.
In a post-address interview with
newspapermen, the secretary said
his wife lost month had received a
telephone message warning her that
if Secretary Doak made a scheduled
address in Brooklyh he would be
killed. The incident ended there,
however, he said.
"Racketeering grows from what it
feeds on," he said before the con
vention, "and it has spread from the
minor fields of graft to violence
into the greater fields occupied by
virtually all our large legitimate in
dustries. "Their challenge Is not only to
labor and to commerce, but to the
American government itself."
The secretary urged the conven
tion to take a stand for a five-day
work week and six-hour day. The
department he heads, he said, has
been active against those preying
on unsuspecting aliens.

YRD RETORTS
TO
Boston, Nov. 28 (-P) Rear-Ad'
miral Richard E. Byrd feels "com
plimented" by the charges that he
is a ' staiKing norse."
In replying to a statement made
in Richmond, Va., Saturday night
by Louis A. Johnson, national
commander of the American Le
gion, Byrd felt "constrained to
thank Commander Johnson for his
mild statement, that compared to
tne statements that a million vet
erans have been milking around
the country, is a grand and wonder
ful compliment.
Johnson had spoken of Admiral
Byrd as "unwittingly and uninten
tionally" the "stalking horse for
the one person out of 3,000 of
our population who is against the
veterans of America.
Admiral Byrd, chairman of the
national economy league, said that
if he was- a "stalking horse" as
charged "then I am stalking for
the suffering hordes of the unem
ployed of this country."
The Admiral said he respected
the "sincerity of Commander
Johnson's statements because I
know him to be a real patriot,'
and he expressed appreciation at
'the commander's elevating me
from a certain obnoxious animal to
the stalking horse."
Replying to Johnson's state
ments concerning the national
economy league, Admiral Byrd
reiterated his belief that "the peo
ple oi tnis country must combine,
as in war, to cut the cost of gov
ernment;."
Warm Springs. Ga.. Nov. 28 iVPV
senator Kobmson of Arkansas, dem

visit to tne cottage of President
elect Roosevelt, that he expected to
set up several unofficial committees
before the short session opened to
begin the formulation of legislation
on farm relief, beer, budget matters
ana the reorganization of govern
mental departments.
The senator was one of a large
group of visitors who talked with
Mr. Roosevelt. He returned to the
cottage later for an afternoon con
ference on general legislative mat
ters.
In the other group were Henry A.
Wallace, an Iowa agricultural edit
or, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., of New
York, and M. L. Wilson, of the Mon
tana State Agricultural college. They
were caned here to discuss farm re
lief with the president-elect.
Robinson said he though the
chances for the enactment of legis
lation legalizing beer at the special
session were good and that he re
garded a filibuster as the only tiling
that might stand in the way of pas.
sage. He added that he did not know
of any one In the senate who would
be likely to lead a filibuster.
The unofficial committees which
Senator Robinson proposes to create
would make a study of the subjects
to which they would be assigned
with an idea of expediting the pass
age of measures along those lines.
Among the others who arrived
here today were James A. Farley,
cha rman of the democratic nation
al committee, Mrs. Parley, and
Prank A. Walker, treasurer of the

ROBINSON PLANS
SENATE GROUPS
RECOGNITION OF
RUSSIA URGED
BY ROBERTSON
International d isarmament and
world peace cannot be accomplished
until the United States recognizes
Soviet Russia and the "Interna
tional hypocrites gathered around
the table at Geneva, all with an
axe to grind, with mouthing of
representatives of nations,' are In
full accord and recognition given
by the greatest powers of the world,
Lt. Col. Charles A. Robertson, mem
ber of the- army war college and
or tne military intelligence depart
ment, told the chamber of commerce
Monday noon in speaking upon
Russia and the challenge of anti
democracy In Europe. Capitalistic
governments are trying to prevent
disarmament and 'Russia today Is
the only nation asking for complete
disarmament, he said.
Without Russian cooperation
with the United States world peace
is impossible," Col. Robertson de
clared. "Russian propoganda In this
country amounts to nothing as
compared with American influence
on Russian capital and industry.
We must clean up our own house
first and this nation can lose noth
ing by recognition. Russia turned
upon us because of falce accusa
tions of dumping and use of for
ced labor, and has cut us off from
its foreign trade which is being
absorbed by other nations. Incor
rect, false or half-truths in con
nection with actual conditions in
that country call for an awakening
of international responsibilities.
There Is a general pious disregard
for the greatest nation In the
world outside of the United States
and a greater regard Is evinced at
Geneva- for Soviet Russia than this
country."
The anti-democratic form of
government of the communist re
gime was compared with that of
Italy under Mussolini and Hitler
ism, in Germany, where there are
five times the number of registered
communists than in Russia, Col.
Robertson said. He also classed the
three stages of Russia, starting with
militant communism and the 1917
revolution through to 1923; com
mercial progress during the next
five years and the start of the 5-
year plan in 192H, involving the ex
penditure of 70 millions of dollars
hi four years and the start of the
second 5-year plan with an esti
mated expenditure of 75 billions of
dollars more.
Prior to 1923 Russia had practl
cally no outside trade but commer
cial recognition was given then by
50 super-industrialists of this coun
try and arranged for credits. Today
26 world powers have recogned Rus
sia and the last of twelve pacts of
non-aggression were signed with
Prance within the last week, the
speaker said. Because of its atti
tude the United States has lost
tremendous amounts of trade with
Russia which is building up its
commercial relations with other
nations. Trade for the first six
months of 1931 amounted to $84,-
000,000 as compared with $9,010,000
for the first six months this year,
he sadi.
Development along all lines in
