Administration Mr, ples. yTLHFI.M GUSTLOFF, Nazi lead- - er in Switzerland, was assassinated In Davos by David Frankfurter, son of a rabbi and a native of Jugoslavia who told the police he acted on no one orders and was not connected with any political group. The German government immediately sent tii Switzerland a strong protest, stressing that Beilin has often warned the Swiss government of the dangers of i ngitatlon by the liberal and Marxist press.

This was Miss Frances Berkitis, secretary And by n strange coinciof labor. Is It the first time since Inaugudence ration that Mis IVdkins has done anything which In the opinion of disinterested observer was really of political benefit to the Roosevelt cause. What Miss Perkins did was to keep the door open for Smith to come hack and to avoid doing anything to make Smith or Smith's followers any madder than they already were. In short, she not only served notice that the door was open for him to come hack, hut put out a welcome mat Instead of erecting a barbed wire entanglement. Which latter Is precisely what most of the vocal Democrats on Capitol Hill did. And this goes not onlv for the Southerners, like Senator .Tames F. Byrnes of South Carolina and Speaker Joseph V. R.vrns of Tennessee. hut for supposedly cold blooded northern Democrat like Representative John .T. OConnor of New York, chairman of the house rules committee. Ills remark that "of all people. Smith should be the last to attack Roosevelt, reflects the thought very ami-rarel- y of most of the Roosevelt Insiders. but Is not calculated to pacify the Smith following.
