Good Evening!
Sips for Supper
By DON UPJOHN
The governor's chauffeur seems
to be quite in demand, based on our
inquiry list. According to report his
car happened to kill a dog the other
day and we've had phone calls and
personal Inquiries from a number of
sections to see If there isn't some
way to get him out into those sec
tions with his car. We suppose he
may have a few idle moments after
the legislature to take care of these
demands.
The great question of who should
follow the governor in line at the
president's ball last evening, the
secretary of state or mayor, was
nicely settled by having neither,
Harry Corbett, f president of the
senate being selected. Thus peace
and harmony again reigns among
the precedent breakers and makers.
There is about as much sense in all
such flubdub as there is in trying to
eat fried chicken with a knife and
fork.
Anyway, we're sure the president
will be relieved to know no duels
have "been fought. Also that the
governor himself was in safe hands
and didn't get lost in the vast
reaches of our armory floor, Tom
Delaney leading him about and back
to safety,
Progress Is always the result of
earnest effort, many disappoint
ments, defeats and travail. For
instance, there was Henry Ford in
his bicycle shop tinkering with a
carburetor and an old buggy cnas-
sis. He was the laughing stock of
his time and cussed by every farm
er whose buggy was dusted by
flivver. The auto in those days was
considered the passing whim of a
fool, but look at It now.
Our own Howard Maple ' may be
considered the Henry Ford of the
zipper, which like the auto replaced
the buggy Is bound sooner or later
to replace the button. Pioneering
as he has been, Howard has been
caught in the backwash which en-
gulfs all pioneers. But he can live
firm In knowledge that some day
his faith in the zipper will be repaid
and he'll live to see his grandchil
dren zippered from head to foot
and enjoying it, without any of the
inconveniences which have maae
life such a trial for Howard. Per.
sonally we honor him for his cour-
But, Howard, the zipper la
like all new tangled notions of
progress there's a catch In it
somewhere.
The past few days we've heard
ziDoer stories innumerable. For
Instance, like the one about Cecil
Spencer, manager at Hunt brothers,
who went back to the Man's Shop a
few days after buying a pair of zip
pered trousers, throwing them on
the counter, and -saying, "Here give
these to the Salvation Army." Back
of this act was also a good yarn.
but then you'll have to get Cecil to
tell you that himself.
But, at any rate, the zipper
has come to stay. Even If there
are some who wish It hadn't
come to stay but would get back
In place.
And now having said our say may
the zlnner be considered with us,
like all zipper wearers hope for their
zippers that it remain a closed in
cident.

PRIEST TO LEAD
INFLATIONISTS
(Copyright. 1038. by United Press)
Washington, Jan. 31 (LP) Father
Charles B. Coughlln's devastating
campaign against the World court
made him a central figure today In

Seasoned observers believe the De

Currency expansion plans as out

Senators are In constant touch with
him. The Immediate objective of
senate expansionists Is ' to win the
south to freer use of silver. That is
the purpose behind the senate agri
culture committee's apparently aim
less discussion of export trade.
There is Informal agreement to
test strength first on the Wheeler
bill which Is an unqualified 16-to-l
free silver coinage measure mas
querading as a farm rellA legisla

ed as a farm relief bill so It could
be referred to Chairman Ellison D.
Smith's agriculture committee rather
than to the senate banking and
currency committee which would

OVERDUE PAY
VOTED JUDGES
The senate today passed by 34
to 6 vote the bill calling for an ap
Dronrlation to pay back salaries for
circuit court judges for the last two
months of 1934, and for supreme
court justices for the last month of
the year,
Senator Walker pointed out that
although the deficiency In salaries
was brought on by the Judges them
selves, some of whom failed to take
salary cuts recommended by the
1933 legislature, the law required
that the salaries must be paid, and
that with that fact in mind the ways
and means committee had recom
mended that the measure -pass.
Senator wheeler declared that all
the Judges should not be punished
because of the failure of a few to
take the salary reduction. He noted
that the deficiency was due to the
fact that some Judges who had In
dicated they would be willing to ac
cept the reduction had not done so,
Senator Carney stated he would
make a motion tomorrow that the
vote on the bill be reconsidered.
Franclscovlch, Burke, McCornach,

JAPS TO VACATE
Moscow, Jan. 31 (IP) A proposal
that Japan withdraw all troops from
Manchuria (now called Manchoukuo)
and guarantee the sovereignty of
China was advanced by Premier
Vlacheslav Molotov today in
speech to the all-union congress,
Molotov replied to a recent speech
by Foreign Minister Koki Hlrota of
Japan, in which Hirota suggested
that the provisions of the Ports
mouth treaty, ending the Russo
Japanese war In 1905 and providing
for demilitarization of the Russian-
Korean and Sakhalin frontiers, be
applied also to the Sovict-Manchur-lan
frontier.
Molotov charged that Japan Is
falling to observe the provisions of
the treaty. He made the counter-
suggestion that Japan observe Its
other clauses, such as the one oblig
ing both Russia and Jap to evac
uate their troops from Manchuria
except for 15 guards per kilometer
along the Chinese Eastern railway,
and secure the sovereignty of China.
'The Soviet union evacuated all
troops from Manchuria after the

PARAGUAYANS
ATTACKING FORT
Buenos Aires, Jan. 31 (IP) The
Paraguayan army, deployed In twoi
powerful columns, began a drive on
Bolivia's last stronghold In the
Ohaco, Villa Montes, today, accord
ing to dispatches from Ascunslon,
Paraguay.
Whether a general battle is im
pending depends upon whether
Paraguay Is willing to accept losses
which are certain to be heavy in
attempting to storm the Bolivian
position and also upon whether the
Bolivians will make the stand at
Villa Montes or withdraw to the
hills in the west which offer better
defensive possibilities.
The Paraguayans, already within
the Bolivian oil zone, the control of
which Is their objective, claim that
they hold 60 miles ot the Important
road which runs north from Villa
Montes through one of the Bolivian
oil regions and from there through
the Bolivian department (states) of
Vero Cruz, all the way to the 12th
parallel. '
Various estimates have been made
as to how many men are likely to
be engaged at Villa Montes, with
the highest estimate 100,000 troops,
appearing considerably exaggerated.
The battle line stretches about 100
miles northward from the Pllco-
mayo. The oompiete Paraguayan
army in the field is reported to
number about 40,000 men.
Strength ot the Bolivian forces Is
conjectural.
