Here is the scene in the public room of the liner during the balloting. Seated is Purser Karl Zeplein, who reg­ istered the voters. Of the crew, 330 voted “jah”; six voted “nein,” and one vote was voided. * SUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK © Western Newspaper Union. Lend and Spend Plan /KONGRESS was asked by Presi- dent Roosevelt to authorize the spending and lending of a grand total of seven billion dollars in a special message in which he set forth his new program for recovery and re­ lief. Ignoring the expressions of vari­ ous leaders in oppo­ sition to such vast expenditures, Mr. Roosevelt said: “Our capacity is limited only by our ability to work to­ President gether. What is Roosevelt needed is the will. “The time has come to bring that will into action with every driving force at our command. And I am determined to do my share.” The President declared that the will to co-operate places “on all of us the duty of self-restraint,” and that “there can be no dictatorship by an individual, or by a group in this nation save through division fostered by hate. Such division there must never be.” Three groups of measures were proposed. The first involves main­ ly additional appropriations for the coming fiscal year, as follows: One billion two hundred and fifty million dollars for the Works Prog­ ress administration; $175,000,000 for the Farm Security administration; $75,000,000 for the National Youth administration; $50,000,000 for the Civilian Conservation corps, and the $1,500,000,000 already made avail­ able to the Reconstruction Corpo­ ration for lending to business enter­ prises. In a second group of measures Mr. Roosevelt asked: Three hundred million dollars for immediate expansion of the housing and slum-clearance work of the United States Housing authority; $1,450,000,000 for public works loans and grants; an additional $100,000,- 000 for public roads; an additional $37,000,000 for flood control and re­ clamation projects already autho­ rized and an additional $25,000,000 for federal buildings. A third group listed by the Chief Executive referred to private cred­ it. It involved desterilization of $1,400,000,000 of gold and a reduc­ tion by the Federal Reserve board of member bank reserve require­ ments which would add another $750,000,000 to the credit resources of the nation’s banks. With these actions Mr. Roosevelt coupled a simplification of Security commis­ sion regulations to expedite small­ business financing. ---- *---- finance committee, obviously dis­ pleased, said: “The President is entitled to his views. Of course, he accords to every one else the same right to theirs. “The views expressed in his letter do not coincide with the sentiment expressed by the overwhelming majority of the senate. My views are well known and need not be repeated again in detail. “The senate conferees will insist in conference on the amendments adopted in the senate. “I believe that the repealing of the undistributed profits tax and the modifications of the capital gains tax, as adopted by the senate, will Jielp business.” At the close of his letter the Pres­ ident said: “The repeal of the undistributed profits tax and the reduction of the tax on capital gains to a fraction of the tax on other forms of income strike at the root of fundamental principles of taxation. "Business will be helped, not hurt, by these suggestions.” ----*--- New French Government pRANCE has a new government 1 headed by Edouard Daladier who succeeded Leon Blum as premier after the fall of Blum’s Popular Front. Daladier’s cabinet is the first wholly nonrevolu­ tionist one since the leftist landslide of 1936. Not one of his ministers is even pink, and there are several outright con­ servatives. Most sig­ nificant of his se­ lections is Georges Bonnet, former am­ Georges bassador to the Bonnet United States, as foreign minister. His choice for this key post means synchronization of French foreign policy with that of Great Britain, the opening of nego­ tiations with Mussolini and complete abandonment of the Spanish repub­ lic in its war with Franco’s insur- gents. Blum was thrown out because he asked broad powers to rule by de­ cree, but the parliament acceded to a similar demand by Daladier, and then adjourned until May 1, leaving Daladier with practically dictatorial powers to deal with the nation's financial and economic problems. The new premier started imme­ diately on efforts to end the wave ol strikes, which were really based on political motives. First he obtained a settlement of the strikes in the nationalized aviation factories, of­ fering a pay increase in exchange Congressmen Vexed longer hours.

A NY lingering hopes that the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization would end their civil war were dispelled by John L. Lew­ is’ announcement that the C. I. O. was to be made a permanent or­ ganization, probably under another name. To bring this about a con­ vention of the 39 Lewis unions will be held in the fall. The time and place were left to a committee con­ sisting of Philip Murray and Sidney Hillman, newly elected vice chair­ man of C. I. O. The heads of the C. I. O. unions, hearing congress might adjourn by May 14, adopted a resolution de­ claring “that our 4,000,000 members will necessarily have to consider it a dereliction of duty and betrayal of labor for congress to agree to adjourn prior to enactment of a complete legislative recovery pro­ gram.” ---- *---- warnings of evil that fail to touch our less sensitive conscious­ ness? Sometimes it seems that way. A California friend of mine had a pet cat. One day a few years ago the cat suddenly jumped on his lap, the picture of terror. Her fur was standing' on end and she meowed excitedly and buried her head in her master’s coat. He leaned over, surprised at her strange ac­ tions, to see what was the matter, and the next minute over went the chair, man and cat in a heap. An earthquake had struck that part of the Pacific coast, and the cat—he is convinced—received advance warning! All of which brings us to today’s adventurer, John W. Herbst of Flushing, L. I. John has a dog who acted strangely on a certain day in April, 1933. John has good reason to remember that day—the twenty­ fourth—because he lost his right hand in an accident that almost took his life. John’s dog is a shepherd named “Pal”—and what a name! John was a railroad conductor in those days and Pal WAS his pal. Every night, John says, when he was ready to go to work Pal would come to him with his rubber ball and drop it in his master’s hand to be put away in a drawer. Then Pal would “shake hands” with his master. Dog Wouldn’t Go Through His Tricks. Every morning when John returned, the dog would be waiting for him. Joyously, Pal would take the morning paper up to the house and then sit up and bark before the drawer until John gave him his ball. This, John says, had been going on daily for years. But on the night of April 24, 1933, as John kissed his wife and started for work as usual, Pal was not up to his usual tricks. He paid no attention to the rubber ball and instead of offering his paw, sat glumly re- Wheat Allotments 'T'HE agricultural adjustment ad- ■* ministration announced it had allotted 62,500,000 acres to 42 wheat producing states under the 1938 farm program. Individual acreage allotments will be based on planting and diversion during the past ten years. Farmers who comply with acre­ age allotments will receive benefit payments of 12 cents a bushel for the average yield on the allotted acreage. A penalty tax of 90 cents a bushel on acreage in excess of allotments will be deducted from any benefit payments due farmers. This year, the AAA said, no de­ ductions will be made for exceeding wheat allotments if co-operating farmers reduce other soil depleting crops so as not to exceed the total soil-depleting allotment for his farm. Acreage allotments for principal wheat producing states included: Iowa, 456,037; Kansas, 12,519,879; Minnesota, 1,609,218; Nebraska, 3,446,075; North Dakota, 9,431,355; South Dakota, 3,345,403. w PAGE FIVE CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT HARNESS & SADDLES AWRENCE QUALITY SZKSS •Id oa MONTHLY PATMMMTS V»»urM t>, anuer« «tockmen far 81 years.

This was a new one on John and it puzzled him. John was puzzled still more when, as he started down the stairs the dog took hold of the leg of his overalls and PULLED HIM BACK. “I patted him on the head,” John writes, “and tried to shake hands with him, but he kicked up a fuss of barking and crying and when I pushed him away he again caught hold of my leg.” John’s Wife Thought It a Warning. Women are more sensitive than men to things bordering on the oc­ cult and John’s wife was no exception. She immediately took Pal’s actions to be a warning and asked her husband to stay home that day. But John laughed at the idea and promising to be careful, went to work. Will Defend Peace He wishes now he had listened to what he is convinced was tffreal warning.
