Twenty-ninth Year
By PAUL MALLON
(Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 8. The
Whlto Hoiuja and the senate leaders
turned ao much Inside heat on the
boys In the sen
ate that the pas
sage of the ad
mlnlsratlon tariff
bill la now a mat
ter of course.
Much of the
shrewd back -atage
leading Job
waa done by
Vice - President
Garner.
Vice- presl
denta never at
tend aecret party
meetings of sena
Paul Mallon
tors, but Garner attended the Demo
cratic tariff caucus, and, what la
more unusual, he made a speech.
Gamer knows how to handle con
gressmen from long experience In the
house. He talked political turkey to
the boys, and may have been the one
who figured out the Idea of using the
war-wlthln-two-yeara scare to bring
them around. It sounds like him.
Old-timers say they have rarely
seen such strong Inner pressure from
above, at least no since the new deal
started.
As a result, the Democratic leaders
are asserting there will be no more
than one Democratic vote lost (Huey
Long). Their estimate Is too opti
mistic. They will lose five to eight
votes, but that .is not enough to
make any difference. The bill Is
certain to pass and probably without
major restrictions.
The restriction made in the caucus
was purely a sop to the consciences
of wayward senators. It requires only
that the president have a hearing be
fore he acts; ho can have It open, or
closed, perfunctory or real.
When President Roosevelt gets the
hill passed, he should send violets to
Garner, Floor Leader Robinson, ,et al.
They told him at first it could not be
done.
The flyweight champion of eonn
gress, Senator Carter Glass. Is going
to get a stepladder and climb up on
Huey Long one of these days.
Their rather long-range feud has
been reopened since the Democratic
caucus on the tariff bill. Something
of a party sensation, therefore, when
Huey- appeared at the secret caucus.
And while Huey Is thoroughly dis
liked by mnny Democratic senators,
no one dislikes him more than Glass.
It was announced he had the proxy
of Glass to vote against the admin
istration tariff bill.
"Why that so-and-so," gasped Glass
when he heard about It the next day.
"I never did anything of the kind.
Huey Just overheard me when I tele
phoned Colonel Hatsey (secretary of
the senate) and said I was ill and
would be unable to attend the caucus-."
Sly Senator Qlass figured out a
way to get even.
He went out to the baseball game
' with Vice-President Garner and Dem
ocratic Floor Leader Robinson. Next
to Glass, Senator Robinson is the
best Long hater in all the world.
The three Glass. Robinson and Gar
ner were photocraphed In a group
by a news photographer who cdfced
up to Glass and asked him to Identify
the two gentleman In the picture
with him.
Glass gave Garner a proper Identi
fication, but told the news photog
rapher that Robinson was Huey
Long.
In the newspaper next mornlnp,
the picture appeared with Robir-i,
Identified as his worst political en
, emv.
Glass has told no one about his
little Joke and is still cackling to
himself as Huey and Robinson eye
each other In passing.
The White House has been work
ing around on the Inside for several
days to amend the securities act
strongly and swiftly.
It Is being spurred by the (tagging
commodities and stock markets. Also
by the fact that some business men
are beginning to hum the blues
strain.
Certain responsible people were
called in to help plan the change.
Th changes will encourage expan
sion of financing operations, possi
bly even to the extent of moderating
banking regulations.
Opponents of the truth-ln-securl-tles
bill are confident that this one
thing will do more to make the pes
simistic business men change their
prrnent tune than anything else
which could be done now.
Ex-Senator Jim Watson la not a
candidate for the chairmanship of
the Republican national committee
any more. He has passed that word
to friends.
That means the Republican derby
has no horses entered.
Several big Republicans whose
namrs have been mentioned In con
nection with the Job have told party
workers that they would not take It
tinker any ctrcunvtances.
I;ilrirrs are bectnnlng to believe
th.it the name of the next chairman

Following Intensive campaigning,

$25 TO CAPTOR
Patman Reward Bill Would
Make Reward $25,000
For Public Enemy Dead
Or Alive Anti - Crime
Laws Framed.
WASHINGTON, May ' 5. (AP)
Ten anti-crime bills, including one
to permit the federal government to
put a stiff price on the heads of
criminals branded as national pub
lic enemies, were whipped through
the house today and speeded on their
way to the statute books.
The name of John Dilllnger, mid
dle western desperado, rang through
the legislative chamber time and
again during debate on the meas
ures, which are parts, of Attorney
General Cummlngs twelve-point pro
gram for Investing law authorities
with greater power w deal with kid
napers, gangsters and their Ilk.
The Patman reward bill, which
would authorize an appropriation of
$35,000 to be used for rewards for
the capture of designated public en
emies, "dead or alive," and aa much
more for rewards for Information
leading to arrest and conviction of
criminals, stipulates the attorney
general must determine whether a
person has previously been convicted
of a felony before he may be desig
nated a public enemy and subject
of the award.
Representative Cochran (D., Mo.) .
sought to remove the limitation, but
Chairman Sumners (D., Tex.), of the
Judiciary committee, contended that
"in view of the fact that this is
an authorization for the , attorney
general to pick, a man who hasn't
been tried and offer a reward for
shooting him down, some restriction
ought to be made."
Cochran Insisted many of the worst
criminals sought had escaped prev
ious convictions, but Sumners and
other committee members sided with
the oh airman's position that "I think
there is such a thing aa staying on
our feet."
Representative Patman (D., Tex.)
pointed out to the house that "the
only reward up for Dilllnger today
is 920." and said he could see why
local peace officers, however patriotic
and bound to their duty, would not
put themselves in the path of dan
ger in dealing with such characters
when a local law had not been vio
lated and there was no provision for
taking care of their families In case
the officers were killed.
Cummlngs had Indorsed the bill
as one he thought "would be very
helpful."
Now In Ohio ,
TOLEDO, Ohio, May 8. (AP)
John Dilllnger today was trailed Into
Ohio, where his last previous visit
resulted In the killing of a sheriff

persona with machine gun fire, pol

authentle Information that Dllllnger'a
master machine gunner, Homer Van
Meter, participated In the Fostorla
robbery and that Dilllnger waa In
the city during the bank raid, ready

Feverish Arming By Nations
Imperils Peace, Secretary
Tells College Alumni
Urges Co-operation To
Avert Calamity.
WASHINGTON, May 6. Sec
retary Hull said tonight that militar
ism sweeping many sections of tho
world might lead to war unless curb
ed through international cooperation
to promote peace, understanding and
friendship.
In an address before his fellow alum
ni of' Cumberland university, Hull
said:
"Today numerous nations are fever
ishly arming. They are taking their
citizens beyond the limit of ability
to pay, and in many ways developing
a military spirit which, regardless of
present motives of self-defense, may
probably lead to war, unless past hu
man experience is to be reversed.
"While there are no algns of lm
mediate war anywhere. It Is true that
seriously volcanic conditions exist in
many parts of the world, peace stabi
lization is all-important at thla atAge,
It would be both a blunder and a
crime for civilized peoples to fall
much longer to take notice of pres
ent dangerous tendencies which nega
tive every idea of friendliness and of
the spirit of the good neighbor."
Although, Hull said, the world war
was supposed to have been fought for
democracy, popular government has
toppled over In every part of the
world since then, dictatorships have
sprung up, and civilization has been
on the decline.
"Nations everywhere." he asserted,
"are steadily narrowing their vision.
their policies and their programs."
The secretary of state said, ho'
ever, he waa not discouraged, as he
was certain people everywhere would
quickly awake to the necessity of re
turning to fundamental truths.
"The United States is in & position
to render valuable service to the world
in the existing exigency," he said
"This nation will continue, as in re
cent months, to offer wise,, aotnv'
and efficient leadership with suitable
programs for political, economic, so
cial and moral rehabilitation."
HAVANA, Cuba, May 5. (API

Death Of Albert While Moun
tain Climbing Called
"Spoof" Brussels Views
Tale With Disgust.
LONDON. May 5. (AP) Colonel
Graham Soton Hutchison, known as
the "British officer who stopped a
war," fought a private conflict to
day over hla startling statement that
King Albert I of Belgium did not
die accidentally but was "tapped on
the back of the head" because he
refused to "conspire" against 'de
fenselesa Germany."
Hutchison, author and publicist
who was an official of a British conv
mission In Upper Silesia In 1031 and
who has crowded plenty of excite
ment Into his 43 years, stuck by
his guns, however, but didn't visit
the embassy.
He described the story of Albert's
death while mountain climbing 35
miles from Brussels February 17 aa
the "biggest piece of spoof put over
on the world in the last six months,
As quoted by the Nottingham Jour
nal, he told the Nottingham, Eng
land, Writers' club last night that:
"Albert did not die aa a result of
an Alpine accident, believe me. I
know the facta. The spoof was put
over by planned perjury In such a
way that it Is simply baffling to in
telligent people.
"The atory of Albert's death was
Issued In Belgium before he was
dead. A man with a rope around hla
waist docs not go climbing by him
self. His field glasses were found 300
yards from the body. I have ascer
tained that there were no bruises
on the king's body or hands.
"In other words, he was ' tapped
on the back of the head. That Is
known In Belgium. Nobody dares
speak of the death of King Albert
In Belgium today.
"The facts are that King Albert
waa opposed to war. He would not
play any part in 'the deviltry' of
France In conspiring for war against
defenseless Oermany. . . . When Al
bert I was dead, the communists
who In fact represent the lntorests ,
of international finance- were able
to atand up on their hind legs and I
yell for revolution."
Brussels was deeply stirred. Semi
official circlca called the remarks
'disgusting" and "Insulting to the
dead" and said the colonel wanted
to get a little notoriety."
