Bv Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. AT best
pal, who lunches with him regularly,
wanted to bet last September that
T2 wit would not
7 be . nomin & t d.
He does not care
to bet now.
This explains,
in part at least,
the undertone
upon which Mr.
Smith chose to
J swing his Lib
erty league
speech. Hit folks
say he had an
idea that there
PAUL MALLON U an outside
chanoe of frightening the new deal
ers Into moderating tbelr course. He
was pointing his remarks for effect
upon a man who lives in the large
white house, about five blocks away,
more than anyone else.
This explanation would clear the
mystery of why he chose to become
"the lusty flailer" so early in the
campaign game, before the actual
vote war starts. If he hid with held
his flail until later, It would have
counted more in vote. Now, it may
count more In Indirect Influence.
In these probable explanations you
have a rather complete background
of the inside Washington situation
today. At this time last year, cer
tain congressmen in Mr. Roosevelt's
party were aoeaktng daily against his
policies in both houses. Now their
tongues are silent. They are resigned
to the prospect that the political me
chanics of the situation are against
them, rnd each Is acting accordingly.
Generally their opposition mind
are Mill -working as actively as ever.
They are doing as much as they can
backstage to change .certain legisla
tion and government policy, but not
by word of mouth.
You can catch a hint of lt-ln what
Is happening on the new farm pro
gram. The farm bill confusion of con
gressional leaders during the last
few days may have appeared to out
siders to be a little too confusing to
be credible. It was. ,
For days, senate and house leaders
have been making contradictory an
nouncements. On v the inside, they
also have been, pulling energetically
among themselves over which house
should pass the bill first. Each house
thinks the other should.
Irrepressible Senator Glass Is sup
posed to be the chief obstacle In the
senate. He Is offered as the excuse
why the house should act first. The
fact is he Is being secretly abetted
by a lot of good party men who do
not want to show their hands.
Congressional leaders Just do not
want to bang through another farm
plan without more study and care
than they gave the first one. Al
though they do not want to say so.
The confidential report which Un
dersecretary Phillips brought back
from Europe will never leak out In
detail. The reason Is that It takes
a more serious view of European war
prospects than the top diplomats
here have generally held.
It is understood among the well
Informed that Mr. Phillips has told
Mr. Roosevelt that the cianger of
conflict between Britain and It All
Is much greater than one would
gather from current published dis
patches. (Continued on Page Pour.)

AT HIGH SCHOOL
Repeated encore . and quick
laughter at humorous sequences
characterized the unusually respon
sive audience which heard the first
evening performance of. the high
school 'opera ''Pirates of Pencance"
at the high school auditorium last
night. The good reception inspired
the young singers to out-do them-,
selves in their efforts to please, and
the directors, Esther Church Leake,
Miss Ploy Young and Wilson Watt,
state they axe very well-pleased with
the smooth performance.
In the only previous Medford per
formance of the "Pirates of Pen
zance." the leading roles were taken
by professionals, and several in last
night's audience were heard to re
mark that tbe atudent actors com
pared very favorably with the more
experienced singers. Mrs. Leake states
that this year's opera seems to be
better liked by audiences so far, at
tributing this partly to the more
popular musical story and partly to
fine performances turned In by the
actors. r
Particularly applauded by the aud
ience were Jack Denlson, as Fred
eric, the young nero of the piece,
whose performance came somewhat
as a surprise to Medford folk, aa he
has only infrequently appeared on
local programs, and Harvey Fields,
popular young vocalist, taking the
part of the pirate' chief. Miss Mary
Ann Gates, In the leading feminine
role, also received much attention
from the crowd. The Audience was
enthusiastic over the policemen's
chorus end their sergeant, Delmar
Wright, In their comic sequences.
The part of Ruth, the pirates'
maid, was played last night by El
nore Poffenbarger, and will be taken
tonight by Betty Paske, alternate for
the role.
Advance ticket salea Indicate that
the almost full house of last night
will be more than equalled at to
night's performance. The curtain
ria at eight o'clock, in the high
school auditorium.

(Copyright, 1838, by the Associated
Press)
WINDSOR. Bng.. Jan. 28. The
long funeral Journey of George V
ended today In the royal vault of
St. Oeorge'a chapel, the burial crypt
of Great Britain's kings.
It waa a aervtoe of pomp, circum
stance and sorrow beginning with
the removsl of the body from West
minster hall In London and the
silent tribute of tens of thousands
of spectators massed along the cor
tege route and ending with a simple
burial aervlce.
King Oeorge'a body came to Wind
sor at 1:08 p. m.. 33 minutes later
than scheduled. The delay waa In
strange contrast to George's punct
uality throughout life. The mourn
ing crowds In London had delayed
the passage of the cortege.
Actual Burial Delayed
The nation paused for two min
utes of silence at 1:30 p. m., the
time the coffin waa to have been
lowered Into the crypt, but the delay
in the marching of the cortege set
the time of actual burial later.
From London, the king's body wsa
brought by railroad train to Wind
sor, One hundred thousand mourn
ers were assembled along the mile
and a half route from the railroad
atatlon to St. Oeorge'a chapel.
An honor guard carried the cof
fin from the train over a scsrlet car

station- door. Then the procession
started Its uphill Journey to Windsor

The new king, Edward VIII, and
his three brothers, for the second

They were preceded In the cortege
by the widowed Queen Mary, who
