He reiterated his refusal to treat with the union so long as the n strikers held the plants, and continued with a promise to employees: "We shall demand that your rights and our rights be protected" against "a small minority who have seized certain plants and are hold-ing them as ransom to enforce their demands.

Headquarters for the evacuation were set up at Jackson, Miss. Lieut. Col. Eugene Reybold, dis-trict engineer at Memphis, ordered the prompt delivery of 5,000,000 bur-- lap sacks for the erection of sand-bag bulwarks, 13 cars of lumber, 210 outboard motorboats, 300 small boats, 300 life jackets, and 1,500 lanterns. The secretary of war authorized the use of not only regular army Asia and Germany was to be per-mitted to grab the Ukraine. But Radek added that the conspirators hoped the war would result in a new revolution in Russia and that thereafter those territories could be regained. "I . am guilty of all the charges," said the once powerful editor. Gregori Sokolnikoff, former soviet ambassador to England, declared he knew as early as 1932 of a plot to assassinate Stalin, and admitted he was guilty of plotting to betray the Soviet union to Germany and Japan. Vladimir Romm, former Washington correspondent of of Moscow, though not yet on trial, was put on the stand and testified that he knew of the anti-Stalin- ist plot, that he carried letters from Radek to the exiled Leon Trotzky and that he agreed to be-come Trotzky's undercover in-formant.

Lewis scoffs at this claim but will not countenance the holding of an election to determine whether his unions command the majority nec-essary to constitute them the sole collective bargaining agency. The federal labor relations board could order such an election but it bas not Intervened, and probably will not. Governor Murphy of Michigan had not modified his refusal to per-mit the National Guardsmen sta-tioned in Flint to be utilized in carrying out a judicial order that the plants be vacated by the n strikers. THE six-wee- k strike of 7,100 of the Libbey-Owens-For- d Glass company ended with ap-proval by the union committee and company officials of a wage agree-ment giving a flat increase in all plants of the com-pany.

General Craig said that if the bil-lion dollar levee system, erected after the great 1927 flood, failed to hold, about the same area affected then would be inundated. Many thousands of people already had been removed from homes along the Mississippi, but cities like Memphis and Vicksburg, being on high ground, were believed to be safe. At New Orleans river experts re-fused to admit danger of a super-floo- d along the lower reaches of the river. But Secretary of War Wood-rin- g in Washington had reports from engineers which said the levee system on the lower Missis-sippi probably would not be able to withstand the present flood when it reaches its crest. At this writing the effects of the flood may be thus " summarized: Homeless, nearly a million. Dead, probably more than 500, including 300 In Louisville.

MAYBE it was just a promotion for the book, but Senator Joseph F.

Supplies of food, drinking water, clothing and medi-cines were poured into the stricken areas. Cincinnati, Louisville, Ports-mouth, Frankfort and Evansville were the worst sufferers; but every city, town and village along the Ohio and its tributaries shared in the disaster. Fires broke out in the Mill Creek district of Cincinnati and destroyed property valued at $1,500,-00- 0 before the flames could be con-trolled.

He said in Washington that the two drouth years of 1934 and 1936 have brought more thought on farm production by consumers and farmers than ever before. While a year or two of nor-mal weather would tumble wheat prices, if full acreage is planted, the time has come for a lifting of the restrictions, he said. "In the year immediately ahead, I feel that farmers should think primarily of their duty to consum-ers," Wallace said. "I think that in the coming year it is wise for us to produce as much as we can. We should, of course, divert a certain amount of corn and cotton acreage to soil conserving crops, because that will make for greater long time productivity of our farm land. "But for the most part let's fill up the storage bins this year. It is good policy to vary the plans for storage of crops in the soil accord-ing to the state of supplies in the granary above the ground." and tdded: "I believe I am practic-ing realism when I declare we do not wish to separate French security from European peace."

Obviously it is the intention of the liberals to force the selling of bonds into much the same cate-gory as the sale of postage stamps is now, with the exception that the government will not, in most in- -, stances, do any guaranteeing of the product. What They Must Do Let's consider for a moment what was done and what investment houses are still expected to do, for their commission. In the first place, they must make an exhaus-tive study of the affairs of prospects of the corporation issuing the bonds. Then there must be a legal exam-ination to determine if the bonds really are what they purport to be. Finally, the banking house un-derwriting the issue fixes a price, in agreement with the corporation issuing the bonds, and guarantees the sale of all the bonds at that price. , Washington.

Robin-son, who hopes, probably vainly, to one day be Brandeis' colleague is to put the idea about as strongly as it could be put. At the moment a great many of the Roosevelt admirers and lieuten-ants are wonderine what in the Then it parcels out the bonds to the investment houses which sell direct to bond buyers. Then these "retailers" send . out their bond salesmen to such prospects as they know about, meanwhile advertising liberally. The two per cent just ruled as too high would provide a total return of $20 on each $l,000-bon- d sold, which must cover all the expenses and risks noted above, not men-tioning the danger of going to Jail if the securities commission finds there has been any misrepresenta-tion. Obviously the stage Is set for a discontinuance of this form of dis-tributing investment securities, es- - world the President wanted with the kind of inauguration he permitted Admiral Cary T. Grayson to ar-range. Just as many wondered at the extraordinary preparations that preceded the notification ceremon-ies which were the concluding fea-tures of the Philadelphia conven-tion. What those doing this wondering - and the wondering of last June-over- look is that Mr. Roosevelt is one of the most consummate show-men ever to figure in the public life of America. - Both that mammoth notification n.teling and this year's inaugura-tion were to the President just shows, shows put on designedly for impressing certain elements of the electorate. Mr. Roosevelt real-izes perfectly what a great many of the more intellectual of his friends and admirers and advisers do not that a very large percent-age of the electorate does not do much serious thinking not even on the plane to which the late Arthur Brisbane was thought-provokin- It thrills, and feels, and believes! Cater to Electorate But to have this big section of the electorate on one's side is vital to anyone who would govern. Roosevelt knows it Hitler knows it, Mussolini knows it Stalin knows pecially as it is almost certain that the securities commission intends to cut this commission still fur-ther. It may be that big corporations will be obliged to market their own bonds. Reorganization The fundamental difference be-tween most of the Capitol Hill op-ponents of President Roosevelt's governmental reorganization plan and its advocates is not so much on methods as on functions. Tremendous savings, such as Sen-ator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia and his followers would like, involve giving up government functions. There is very little saving, as the President has frequently pointed out in preliminary discussions of this subject, to be made by trans-ferring employees from one govern- - u. 10 gei away irom comparisons which may seem invidious, if not odious, William Jennings Bryan knew it Even Calvin Coolidge knew it as any one will realize who re-members that the Vermonter pitched hay for the movies when merely to get close to horse provoked a form of hay fever which devastated him tor days at a time. Normally a reinauguration is not very exciting to Washington. It could easily become an absurdity. Yet Woodrow Wilson, who did not have one-tent- h of the showmanship of Franklin D. Roosevelt, stood for a very elaborate inaugural parade for his second term, little as he p ivately approved of such a dem-onstration. Just so, it was not enough back last June to know that Philadelphia ilt lift m. ttv nln U1 a 4a m. l mental agency to another. There are a few instances of real duplica-tion, but not so many as the aver-age superficial observer would think. It is frequently stated that elev-en different agencies are doing this, or fifteen are doing that This is true, but if they were all combined in one agency the chief saving would be in demoting present bu-reau chiefs to a slightly lower rank. The only real saving would be if the actual work done by these em-ployees were abolished. The President himself pointed .put one instance that of making studies of projects proposed for the government to undertake. If one agency makes such a study, and then another, paying no attention to the work done by the first should enclosure that coulu be selected foi the notification ceremony. Phil-adelphia itself had to be impressed with train load after train load of outsiders pouring in to do the President honor to drive home the esteem in which people from other places held the party's candidate. Other places had to be impressed by departure of trainloads of pros-pective spectators. The plain facts are that the Pres-ident wanted to confine the parade this time to military organizations. Forgotten Men fhe hardest hit class of white col-lar workers, back in 1929, was bond salesmen.; Now that a real boom seems to be on, with money seek-ing investment and business sinu. mane a secona siuay, most or the time the money spent in making the second study is wasted. But this is chicken feed except where the PWA and the WPA are concerned. There the cost of studies frequently runs to two per cent of the total cost, and when the cost of projects runs into millions, two per cent becomes important money. Here's Real Waste Incidentally there is nothing like so much waste in investigation save in those two agencies, as there is on Capitol Hill every session, when a house committee will hold an ex-haustive hearing on some ques-tion, calling witnesses from far and near, frequently paying their ex-penses to and from Washington a email rui ri iom nn J . : ing for new all-tim- e highs except of course :where there are strikes the bond salesman is still the for-gotten man. The supposedly liberal and for-ward looking securities and ex-change commission is being re-viled by the radicals and .iberals on Capitol Hill for permitting a two per cent charge on a new bond is-sue by bankers. Several dissent-ing members of the commission held that there was not enough com- - petition in arrai ging this banking service that two very large stock-holders in the corporation were al-so interested in the underwriting firm. This is taken for granted, but the old bond selling houses are aghast si the idea that if this desired com-petition had been present the un-derwriting fee would have been smaller than two per cent. Just how the chore of selling bonds to individual investors is to b performed in the future, espe-cially if what is now called the lib-e-attitude toward this function shall triumph which seems very likely is not a pleasant picture for m up expert stenography and print-ing bills like nobody's business whereupon, sometimes after this is finished and sometimes without waiting, a senate committee will go into precisely the same subject with precisely the same witnesses. In the battle about to be waged in congress over this reorganization plan the President is virtually as-sured in advance of victory in cer-tain particulars he will be able to retain all the functions he is" in-terested in fighting for. The logic here is simple. If the President wants a function continued he has all the normal White House pres-sure and influence to get votes to prevent that function's being lopped off. But he also has a consider-able element of support among sen- - ators and representatives who want that particular function retained. Thus frequently it will be founo. that Republicans and Democrats, who happen to be bitterly opposed to the President on the main ob-jectives, will rally round behind him in behalf of some particular item they do not want eliminated.

I started to add that this proves the Indians are holding their own, but, since we've left them very little of their own to hold, I stayed my hand. The Navahoes always have been the most independent and aloof of all the tribesmen. For the most part, they continue to live a nomadic ex-- istence, following their ancient be liefs and ceremonials, refusing to be caged In towns, yet numerically and in material possessions, they outgrow any other tribe. Can it be that the white man's culture, which we so jealously strive to cram down the gullets of red people and black and brown and yellow, isn't always what the victims need? But, of course, to say that is prac-tically to admit our civilization might have a few tiny flaws in it whereas we know it to be the one perfect creation of man, and for proof point to its crowning achieve-ment, the late World war.

But of course, it will continue to remain an evidence of soulless greed for Uncle Sam even to inti-- mate that France might pay us a little something on account against the enormous amount she owes us for borrowed money which she has used to build up her army and also, it would appear, to pass along to Poland so that Poland may build up hers. If consistency be a jewel, France is practically out of jewelry. IRVIN S. COBB WNU Service.
