The trou bl with diplomacy ll that it Is utter ly humorless. Not enough comedians are ambassadors. Thla defect was nearly rectified recently when the Justly famous and well - liked Jester. Eddie Cin tor, 0 a 1 1 e d on Mussolini, and, by a chance re mark, upset the stiff relations of two nations, cost o n e commercial attache his Job and almost got I' ll I M ALI O.N an ambassador in bad with the state department. It Is a story which new dealers are tell ing only in strictest confidence. It seems that Cantor was at a loss for something to talk about when he had a special audience with the Italian dictator. He wanted to say something pleasant and internation ally cordial, so he suggested In an offhand way that It would be a good Idea If Borne and Hollywood could exchange movie stars. Mr. Mussolini failed to accept the suggestion In the offhand manner in which It was proposed. He press ed all 50 buttons on his desk. In came the cabinet, assistant secre taries, running. Mr. Mussolini put them to work at once on the new idea. The version which the most emi nent new dealers here have ii that Mr. Cantor, by this time, realired he had a beer by the tall. He handed the tail over to a commercial at tache tn Rome, who became greatly Interested In the proposition and apparently made some broad prom ises to Mr. Mussolini's men. The American ambassador in Home be came Interested, took the matter up with the state department here. Up to this time, apparently no one had thought of asking Holly wood wh at It though t abou t the idea. The state department looked into that angle, found the movie Industry not only cold to he propo sition but frown stiff against It. The movie moguls did not want any of Mr. Mussolini' actors and said so. But the movement hal been taken so far in Rome by this time that no one dared to tell Mr. Mussolini out right about the situation. The promises of the commercial attache could not possibly be fulfilled, so authorities here decided the short est way out of the situation would be to recall him. This was done, and he was given permanent leave of absence without pay. But still it was necessary to do something about Mr. Mussolini's actors. A substitute plan was worked out so that a few of them may come over here on a tour and be given keys to the cities, but no Joba What Mr. Hoover ha been whis pering Into the ears of those Re publican leaders on his latest trans continental journey is substantially this: The next Republican presidential candidate should come from the middle west. There Is where the h opes of Republ I can s u ocess m ust center. The candidate must be a sound money man. This cancels whatever previous notion Mr. Hoover may have enter tained that an easterner of the type of Ogden Mills should be the choice. Indeed, there Is good reason to be lieve that those who got the Idea that Mr. Hoover intended to back Mills misinterpreted Mr. Hoover's position. He has told friends lately that he never had any Idea that Mills could or should be nominated. The most Influential Republican authorities agree with Mr. Hoover this time. The name they are talk ing over are well known : Frauk Knox, the Chicago publisher, Sena tor Vandenberg of Michigan. Gov ernor Land on of Kansas, and Sena tor Dickinson of Iowa. No others. You will shortly begin to hear more about Dickinson's chances. The leaders have apparently decided to talk him up to see what the pop ular reaction will be among party men. He has a good record of opposi tion to the new deal, being one of the few Republicans who originally voted against NRA. In fact, he has opposed Just about everything the new deal has stood for. The party morula spparently believe the poli tical situation now la getting around to the point where a relentless an tagonist should be given the nomi nation in preference to anyone who has approved some new deal steps.

State police acknowledged no check on the small frame house on South Peach street where Bailey's wife, children and brother-in-law are said to be staying, nor would any official acknowledge that fed eral agents are possibly keeping tab on the house in case Bailey should return. One authority atated. however, that a man believed to have been Bailey was seen on several nights approach the house with other men in a "large black sedan," several weeks prior to the kidnaping. Another official authority stated that "Bailey came through Medford the first of this week, entering the city at 11:30 p. m. and leaving about 4:30 the next morning." This opinion was based upon observance of a man believed to have been Bailey entering town from the north. Pederal authorities at Portland have refused to state whether or not Bailey has yet been found and queried, but did say he was last seen in that city May 15. Opinion of some authorities in this city la that he Is in San Francisco. It is said that his wife claims he la In Texas, where he once lived and where his father la aaid to be a lumberman. A web of information disclosed by local authorities revealed that Bailey came to Medford in the fall of 1026, after serving In the United Statos marines, and secured employ ment here as welder on the city water pipe line. He was aoon dis charged when caught bootlegging among the crew. Bailey then started bootlegging as an occupation, police claim, and kept out of trouble until April 21, 1927, when he pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of intoxicating liquor, and was sentenced to pay a fine of WOO and serve six months tn the county Jail. He paid the fine and served 85 days of the sentence. In the county Jail at Jacksonville. After hla release he continued to bootleg, evading arrest. On one oc casion he was found at a liquor cache near the city limits south of Medford. and escaped under gunfire from Ralph Jennings,- then sheriff. On the evening of his arrest on the liquor possession charge he came to the police station and offered to bet Officer Joe Cave that they wouldn't catch him on a deal that night. Officer Cave refused the bet. but three hours later Bailey was arrested on the Old Stage road while delivering' two quarts of moon shine. After leaving Medford In 1930, he went to Tacoma and Portland, au thorities believe. On his visits to Medford he fre quently dropped Into the police sta tion, and talked freely with the officers. He was seen by city police here last New Year's day, and also talked with Officer Cave on the street while here about two months ago. On one of his recent visits he Is said to have Inquired about a roadhouse on King's highway with the Intention of buying It. He la aald to have operated a string ot road houses along the coast.

(Associated Press Photos) SENATE WARY OF ANTI-TRUST LAWS Full Repeal Of Exemptions Despite F.D.R.'s Promise Sought Busy Week Ahead- WASHINGTON, June 8. (AP) Scared even of the ghostlike NRA voted by the house, senate opponent of the wrecked recovery law, an nounced today they would demand full repeal of provisions permitting exemptions from the anti-trust laws.

BUT BEST WISHES Sentiment Of Nation For Braddock, Who Flashed From Relief Rolls To Chance For Riches, Year NEW YORK. June 8. (AP) Old Man Depression himself, James J. Braddock. of Woodcllff, N. J., pokes hts big Irish face into the heavy weight spotlight Thursday night t challenge glittering Max Baer Tor the world's championship, .and to find out personally if a man ever does spring from raga to riches almost overnight. They fight 15 rounds In Madison Square Garden's big bowl on Long Island, and while cold facts make the tiger champion a 5 to 1 choice, there hasn't been a sentimental favorite like this Irish lclcl since Georges Carpentler, orchid man from France and World war hero, came over to wage a hopeless duel with Jack Dempsey tn 1921. The Garden expects there will be 33.000 there, and close to 8300.000 in the cash box if the weather Is good. It seems safe to say that aside from Baer's personal following, there will scarcely be a person In the arena, or outside listening to the broad cast, who won't be sympathizing with the gallant bid of the Jersey man. A year ago this time. ' Braddock was working as a stevedore loading railroad ties on the Jersey City docks. In close to ten yesrs of ring ' warfare he had been beaten 33 ttmes In 79 fights. His most recent fights had been his worst. His future seem ed definitely behind him. Then the Garden called him t fill in on a preliminary on th card that gave Max Baer hts chance to crush Prlmo Camera for the heavyweight title. He almost decided to para It up: stevedoring seemed safer financially. But he toased up the Job. trained one afternoon, and knocked out Com Griffin, though he had to get up off th floor to do It. His Job was gone and he couldnt get it back or get another fight. From February of 1034 to Marcn of this year, he was on the relief rolls, drawing 834 a month In New ' Jersey. He haunted the Garden. "H got a fight with John Henry Lewis and beat him, one with Art Lasky and whipped him. He paid back the money he'd gotten for relief. Max SchmeMIng knocked out Steve Hamas and then wouldn't come over to fight Baer. Th first thing th astonished Braddock knew he was named heavyweight title challenger. He's an entirely different warrior today than he was a year ago. A steady diet of steaks Instead or hash, has raised hla fighting weight close to 106 pounds. He always could hit, though he's still very slow. He has put in a terrific training siege up In the Catakllla. He's rock-hard, desperately but bitterly confident that his wife and three youngsters aren't going to have to depend again on government help.
