STRONG ON THEORY THEY'RE BRILLIANT AND TEMPERAMENTAL WASINGTON, Juno 27. Long ago. Frank Crowinshleld Invented a trick subsequently filched by the movie magazines of superimposing photo graphs of several Individuals In ft given group, and thus getting a com posite picture of the "American Beauty." or "the habitual sot." or whatever. If you did the Crownlnshleld trick with likenesses of the anti-monopoly committee's administration members, the result would be indifferently pretty. But It would make an admir able portrait of the group of men who are running the American gov ernment today. You might call It "the new dealer." and not be far out. The men who represent the execu tive branch in the big monopoly In vestigation are Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold : Herman Ollphant, general counsel of the treasury: Isador Lubln. chief of the bureau of labor statistics; Chairman William O. Douglas of the SEC, who will have SEC Commissioner .Jerome N. Frank as his alternate: Assistant Secretary of Commerce Richard C. Patterson, and Willis J. Ballinger, eo onomlo adviser to the federal trade commission, who will do the real work for one of the commissioners. These would be your subjects. Among these seven major and min or bureaucrats you would find some Interesting similarities. For example, four of them are men of academic background. Arnold and DouglM taught at the Yale law school: Oll phant was on the staff at John Hop kins university, and Ballinger used to Instruct earnest young female colleg ians in the dark mysteries of eco nomics. Experience of business is rare among .them. Luhln Is a civil servant with a high reputation as an econo mist and statistician. Frank was a clever and prosperous Chicago law yer. And with the four professors, that leaves Patterson, from the epi cene commerce department, to re pro-1 sent the business men. He Is a for mer vice president and director of the 1 National Broadcasting company, and as such Is the only one of the seven i who "ever met a payroll" (to borrow! the dreariest of current clinches.) Courlously enough, Patterson is also marked off from the other six by being a man of ordinary mind. He la a pleasant, able, sensible fellow, but not brilliant.. The other six are all Intellectuals, quick and fluid thinkers, given to playing with Ideas (Continued on Page Six.) Youth Milrldes, SCIO. Ore- June 27.

(AP) Prime Minister Chamberlain's opponents In the house of commons, enraged by two more attacks on British ships in Spanish ports, sought vainly today to have him arm British merchantmen with anti-aircraft guns. Chamberlain tried to stem a flood of hostile questions with a declara tion that "a good many difficulties", stand In the way of such a move. Repuylng to Laborlte Philip J. Noel Baker. Chamberlain first said that "fprther consideration of the sugges tion has revealed additional diffi culties." Difficulties ltMl Asked If the government would suggest to the Spanish non-intervention committee that merchantmen be supplied with machine-guns to defend themselves against low-flying attackers. Chamberlain explained that that had been considered but added: "I am Informed that fitting of merchant vessels with anti-aircraft equipment would require structural alterations.' Bombing of two British freighters today by airmen in the service of the Spanish insurgents, added to a long list of such assaults, -severely tested Chamberlain's policy of meeting such incidents with only protests and ne gotiations. There were several casualties In the bombardments. . Ellen C. Wilkinson and other-.Labor! ten berated the government for what they termed its part In having the French frontier closed to arms for the Barcelona government while the frontier of Portugal, friendly to the Insurgents, remained open. Irritation Mounts Richard Austen Butler, parliamen tary undersecretary for foreign af fairs, admitted there were no non intervention observers on the Por tuguese frontier but refused to accept Miss Wilkinson's suggestion that it was wide open to arms shipments Into adjoining Insurgent territory. Attacks on the freighter Arlon at Valencia and the Famham at Ali cante fed the flames of -mounting opposition and Ire growing out of the prime minister's refusal to pro tect such ships, and placed the gov ernment In a grave quandary. Today's bombings brought to 16 the attacks on British registered ves sels during June and made 59 such attacks since the Spanish war started nearly two years ago. Urged to Do'Somethlng I Bold continuance of attacks on the ; red ensign forced Chamberlain to face 1 & clamorous house of commons de- i mand that he do something and do It quickly. i So far he has refused to take eco nomic, political or military reprisals either against Insurgent Generalis simo Francisco Franco or his German and Italian backers. i Meanwhile, the Spanish govern ment's threat to bomb Italian and. I Oerman cities in reprisal for Insur gent Mr raids was viewed In Informed I quarters as a desperate "trial bal- loon" which awlft. ominous reaction in Great Britain and France effec- 1 tively had punctured. I Some diplomatic quarters expressed belief the Barcelona government nev er seriously considered such a danger laden course but Issued Its warning for a double-barrelled effect. VALENCIA. SPaln. June 27. (AP) Bombs from aerial raiders today smashed and fired two more British ships in the porta of Valencia and Alicante. Several seamen were killed or wounded. The first victim of the attacks was the freighter Arlon In the harbor at Valencia. She was set afire and a Rumanian crewman killed.

STAY OFFHAINAN Will Act Together to Pre vent Involving Key to - Indo-China in Hostilities Isle On Far East Route LONDON. Eng., June 27. (AP) Britain and France have warned Ja pan to stay off Hainan island, off the south China coast, and will act to support each other in case "compli cations'' - arise, the government 'n formed the house of com mens today. Richard Austen Butler, undersec retary of foreign affairs, made the announcement. Hainan, Chinese territory, is sepa rated by the 150-mlle-wlde gulf of Tonklng from French Indo-Chlna and commands the eastern approaches to that colony. Answering a question whether the British government would support France In regard to the security of Indo-Chlna. Butler replied: "His majesty's government and the Fronch government, through their ambassadors at Tokyo, have made clear to the Japanese forces and gov ernment that they would regard any occupation of Hainan by the Japan ese forces as calculated to give rise to undesirable complications. ''Should any complications unfor tunately arise, hts majesty s govern ment and ths French government would no doubt , afford each other such support as appears warranted by the ei cum stances. 14 - Japanese warships recently were concentrated off Hainan and Chinese dispatches June 24 reported that at tempts at ft landing were repulsed Holhow, chief port of the island, has been bombed from the air frequently and last week was shelled by Japan ese worships. Last week Chinese newspaper re ported French warships had "con centrated" off Hainan, but this was denied by the Paris foreign office. (Britain Is interested in Hainan because It llesnear the main route between Hongkong and Singapore, her Far Eastern strongholds). Legion Termed "Fascist By Northwestern U. Prof NEW YORK. June 27. (AP) The American Legion was denounced as "fascist" and "unpatriotic" today In a 280-page survey of the veter ans' organization published by Teach hers' college of Columbia university. The monogrsph. prepared by Prof. William Gellermann of Northwestern university, was released as approxi mately 15,000 educators gathered for the annual convention of the Na tional Education association.' Gellermann assailed the role played by the Legion In the educational, economic and poll teal life of the na tion and called on school officials to cease "pandering" to It. Columbia university awarded tho Northwestern faculty member a doctor of philoso phy degree on the basis of his study and published the monograph as one of Ita "contribution to education" series. "The American Legion is not an expression of democratic but rather an expression of entrenched business and military interests which attempt to hide their true purposes under democartlc guise," the survey said. Gellermann, ft Legionnaire, aatd the organization was dominated by ft small group of reactionary leaders, too powerful to be unseated. "It Is encouraging to observe that the average ex-service man Is not now and never has been ft member of the American Legion." he continued. "Through the use of stereotypes acceptable to the Amerloan middle class mind. It seeks to prevent demo cratic change. "Its Intolerance and persecution of those who advocate change, in the name of those very rights which the American Legion Itself substantially destroys, la fascism In fact, and should be opposed with all the vigor at the disposal of American educa tors. "In the promotion of war and fas cism, the American Legion has rtorte more than Its share." Gellermann urged the education association, which has former Legion Commander Ray Murphy of Iowa as a convention speaker Wednesday, to sever any connection with the Le gion. ' Jeremiah F. Cross, New York state Legion commander, said Gellermann'! study sounded like a "communist brain-child." 1 Weather Northern California: Fair ton I grit and Tuesday but fogs on tho coast.

(P) Replying to ft survey published by Teachers College of Columbia univer sity in which tho American Legion was assailed as "fascist" and "unpat riotic." Daniel J. Doherty, national commander of the Legion, asserted It was "well known that many of our institutions of higher learning are hotbeds of communism." Doherty disputed the survey's con tention the Jeglon was not repre sentative of American veterans, as serting the Legion now had 036.812 membera and that In excess of 3.000, 000 of the more than 4.000.000 men and women who served during tho World war have been members. "Many of our Institutions of high er learning." he said, "instead of be-I lng sources of patriotism, are hot beds of communism for the dlssemln atlon of theories and philosophies off government which are entirely alien to tho American concept and Amer- j lean principles under which we havoj prospered more than a century and ( ft half as no other people. - ; "We also know that among certain i educational groups every effort h been made to strip the nation of Its means for an adequate national de fense and that If efforts of those groups were successful America un doubtedly would be the prey to ag gressor nations the same as some other countries have been."
