Revolution.
WASHINGTON, March 26. The
' only thing wrong with James K.
' Band's discovery of a brain trust
plot to overthrow President Roose
velt's Kerensky regime with a real
Stalin revolution 1a that all the In
siders here decline! to Impersonate
Stalin.
Louis Howe Is ailing; Prof. Moiey
la running a magazine; Prof. Tugwell
Is more or less disgusted; Prof. Rog
ers has been shanghaied to Una;
Prof. Warren la trying to explain his
gold policy; Mrs. Roosevelt Is already
doing so much she cannot take on
. anything more.
The only brain truster (or what Is
left of them) who has shown any
Gtallnistlc desires la Buzzle Dall. He
Jhas raised the red flag over the White
House nursery on several occasions.
The revolutionaries certainly will
not select Gen. Johnson to be a Sta
lin for their own self-preservation.
His record In the NRA Is 120 revo
lutions per minute, both on and off
the handle.
Plot.
Mr. Rand's discovery that the stock
market bill la a British plot also may
be classified with Doc Cook's discov
ery of the North Pole.
Prof. Felix Frankfurter makes a
rery unsatisfactory British agent. His
Anthony advocates here, who wrote
the bill, are mostly Sinn Felners
and Jews, the Corcorans and the
Cohens.
It Is true they modeled their pro
posed new stock market system
somewhat on the British market ba
sis. American law Is also founded
on the British system, but no one
has charged in the last 150 years
that the American legal system Is a
British plot.
Facts.
The only thing disclosed by the
Rand discoveries is the Improved
' condition of American - parlor talk
since repeal.
It is true that when the brain
trusters get their heads together
their talk is Just about the same as
the .average parlor conversation In
the average American home. They
gossip about the possibilities of a
revolution, Lindbergh, technocracy
and the high price of liquor.
No one doubts that some brain
truster told able Prof. Wirt, who told
Mr. Rand, who told the house com
mltttee, something about the like'
Uhood of a left wing movement, If
Mr. Roosevelt fails. The new deal
has awakened a labor class conscious
ness as well as a money class con
sciousness, and both are now blow.
lng off steam. So long as they blow
off and not up, everything will be
all right.
Only pent-up boilers burst.
Muddle.
The house hearings have muddled
the stock market bill stltuation so
much thst they may b curtailed.
Treasury Representative Tom Smith
was supposed to support Vie bill.
That Is why he was called before
the committee. " But his refusal to
endorse it was so pointed that ad
herents of the measure say he made
a better case against the bill than
any of its opponents. Similarly, Mr.
Rand was supposed to oppose the
bill, but Wall streeters groaned when
Viey heard the testimony. They say
he made the best case for the bill.
Pulmotor.
The Inner situation has become so
bad that Mr. Roosevelt's pulmotor
c, squad has been secretly rushed Into
action.
Prof. Moley and Frank Walker are
supposed to have been pressed Into
service backstage by advocates of the
measure to have It from its friends
and enemies. Their names will never
appear -in print In connection with
the measure, but they are having
considerable to do with plans to bol
ster the case for the bill.
They were called after Mr. Smith's
I repeated assertions that neither the
treasury nor the federal reserve was
for or against It.
There Is no doubt that It Is an
administration measure, but the ad
ministration authors of It .have been
falling over each other's feet so much
that confusion resulted.
Propaganda.
The movie news reels make no se
cret of the fact that they wave the
flag for whoever happens to be in
the Wftlte House.
Two years ago during the cam
paign Mr. Roosevelt's friends thought
the movies were showing Mr. Hoover's
picture too much and Mr. Roosevelt's
too little. Since inauguration every
thing has changed. Mr. Roosevelt Is
shown with fadeouts of Washington
nd Lincoln and the bands play
"The Stars and Stripes Forever."
That Is considered legitimate prop
agandizing, but a current release of
one concern reached a new highwat-
er mark by trying to show that the
aviation manufacturers sold the army
faulty planes so the army airmail
flyer would crash.

NEW ORLEANS, March 26. (p) A
tornado razed dwellings In several
blocks today In the neighborhood of
Franklin avenue and Law street.
Screams of injured were heard from
the wreckage. Live wires and felled
poles delayed rescue work.
Ambulances began bringing In In
jured to the hospitals and police
worked frantically to get under a
house where a baby was reported Im
prisoned. Utter confusion prevailed over the
area and accurate Information was
difficult to obtain.
House Set on Truck.
The wind picked up a house from
its foundation and set It on top of a
truck parked in the street.
Other houses were blown to bits
while still others were turned over
or partly swept away. An area of
five blocks was a mass of wreckage
and confusion.
Dr. I. M. Cllne. local weather of

ological parlance a thunder squall,
capable of causing violent damage
over a small surface.
Children Lose Parents.
Live wires and bursted gas mains
offered another menace as the police
herded the families out of the
stricken area Into other homes. Many
children- became separated from their
panic-stricken parents.
The area presented a mass of twist
ed and torn houses, felled telegraph
poles, smashed automobiles and gar
ages. Roofs were blown Into the
streets and houses turned on end.
The wind first struck a garage on
St. Cloud avenue, wrecked the build
ing and crushed about 20 automo
biles. It then skipped two blocks and
leveled a filling station. It rose for
another block and then settled down
on the five-block area of dwellings,
where It turned the neighborhood
Into wreckage and pandemonium.
Mainly Frame Buildings.
The section consisted ma,lnly of
one-story frame dwellings.
Max Zlmmer, elevator operator In
the postoffice building, whose home
was in the path of the wind, sam:
"It came with a terrible noise, like
a flock of freight trains. Everything
shook like an earthquake. My house
shook and the wind took off an ede
of my shed and passed on. Every
body was screaming. My wife and
children were badly frightened."

PRESIDE IN TRIAL
SALEM, March 26. (AP) Circuit
Judge Frew W. Wilson of The Dalles
was assigned torfay to preside at the
trial of Horace Manning, Klamath
Palls attorney, under indictment for
the murder of Ralph Horan, member
of the Oregon state legislature. The
trial has been set for April 16.
The assignment was made by Chief
Justice John L. Rand, following dis
qualification of Judge W. M. Duncan
of Klamath Falls. ' ,
KLAMATH FALLS. March 26 )
Judge William M. Duncan Saturday
forwarded a letter to Judge John L.
Rand, chief justice of the supreme
court, disqualifying himself from pre
siding at the trial of Horace M. Man
ning. Manning, prominent Klamath Falls
attorney. Is charged with the first
degree murder of Ralph W. Horan,
his former law partner and member
of the house of representatives. The
trial will start April 18.
"At the time of the happening of
this deplorable affair, and at the
present time I still feel that there Is
probably not a Judge in the state who
could try this case more Intelligently,
fairly and Impartially than I could."
Duncan wrote.
"However, very recently It has been
forcibly brought home to me that
the air was full of ugly rumors to
the following effect:
"That I had not disqualified my
self becouse I desire to remain In
the case for political reasons; that I
wished to try the case because of my
friendship for the defendant; that I
desire to try the case because I was
prejudiced against the defendant, and
other propaganda."
Duncan added he believed the ru
mors might be cleared If he dlsquall
fled himself.
In connection with the Manning
case, Theodore GMenwaters, district
attorney, was at Berkeley to consult
with O. E. Heinrlch, criminologist,
who assisted the state with Its In
vestigations.

Three-Man Board Will Be
Set Up by President to
Settle Questions Between
Employer and Employes
Details of Agreement, !
WASHINGTON, March 26. ()
Here are the t essentials of the
agreement on which the automo
bile strike was settled:
A board of three, expected to
be completed: today, will allot rep
resentation of worker delegates for :
collective bargaining to A. F. of I,
unions, company unions and
others on the basis of their mem
bership In each plant.
The division will be made on
the basis of union rolls and com
pany payroll lists.
This board will also pass on
complaints over discharges and
dlsrlmlnatlon against union men.
Its decision In all cases will be
final.
Union rolls need not be turned
over to the management, but un
less they are, discrimination cases
cannot be brought.
In laying off men after the rush
season, the companies will not let
out more union men proportion
ately than non-union, but must
first see that preference Is given
to those with dependents, and
also to those of long service, high
skill and eflclency.
The companies agree' not to dis
criminate against union men In
any way and to bargain with the
chosen representatives.
Further details were left by
President Roosevelt "to be worked
out on the basis of commonsense
and Justice.'

WASHINGTON, March 26. (AP)
President Roosevelt looks for a new
order In the relations between the
working man and his employer as a
resit It of his eleventh-hour settle
merit of the controversy that threat
ened a general strike In the automo
bile indusry.
He and Gen. Hugh S. Johnson ob
tained an agreement from executives
and labor leaders last night after
weeks of exhausting negotiations. It
established representation for all em
ployea of dealing with management,
while extending fresh safeguards to
all unions against Intimidation or In
terference.
Works Council Aim
"It la my hope," said the president,
"that this system may develop Into
a kind of works council In Industry
In which all groups of employees,
whatever may be their choice of or
ganlzatlon or form of representation,
may participate In Joint conference
with their employers."
He hailed this as basis for a more
comprehensive, adequate and equit
able system of relations than ever has
existed In a large Industry.
Under this agreement the NRA
planned to complete before nightfall
a three-man board, with one neutral
member and one from either side. It
will sit In Detroit and there settle all
questions of employe representation.
