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

four of them are men of academic

with a high reputation as an econo

that leaves Patterson, from the epi
cene commerce department, to re pro-1

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

lain 'Do Something Quick
ly' Difficulties Cited
LONDON, 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

quarters as a desperate "trial bal-

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."

sational upset today, winning the
four-mile varsity race of tho Inter
collegiate Rowing association regatta
and breaking far western monopoly
that hsd lasted since 1931.
Rowing a front race almost from
the start, the tars gained a length
lead after tho first three miles; and
then held off California's 'closing
rush by about a half length. Wash

was third.
Not alnce Navy Itself won the 1031
race has any eastern crew won the
varsity race.
Navy's time of 18 mini tea, 10 sec

ord. The old mark of 18:33 3-B was
set by Washington last year.
Adding to the surprise was Col

WOBURN, Mass., June 27. (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

to tho American concept and Amer- j
lean principles under which we havoj

"We also know that among certain i
