Pe-cora. Wall Street has planted more friends inside tit department than any other in Washington. All of which has revived the question of the continued services of William H. Woodin, Roosevelt's diminutive secretary of the treasury. treas-ury. When congress convenes again, the demand for his resignation resigna-tion is going to be hot and fervid. Realizing this, friends of both Roosevelt and Woodin already are urging that "Wee Wilfie" jump the gun .and get out. , , Aithovgh"tTOTBe"outs!de the cabinet cab-inet knew it at the time it Has now kaked out that Woodin last spring made a poll of the cabinet to see whether he should resign. One by one, he went down the line. All of his colleagues were unanimous that he should stick on twTjob. Finally, he came to Jack Garner, who was at the meeting. 'Mf. Vice President," Woodin asked, "what do you think?" "Since you ask me, Mr. Secretary, Secre-tary, I'll tell you frankly. At the Chicago convention I supported this man." Garner pointed to Roosevelt "instead of Baker, because be-cause I thought he was hot lined un with big business or the Wall Street crowd as Baker was. 'And, likewise," Garner concluded, conclud-ed, 'I think that no man connected with those interests should be in his cabinet." SELF-CONFIDENCE - James H.

El liott v ritain REARMAMENT POLICY NOT SANCTIONED Baldwin Pronouncements Parallel Advice Of U. S. Officials (Copyrgiht. 1933, by United Press) LONDON, Oct. 9 (U.R) Great Britain will support the United States in warning the German government, informally, infor-mally, against rearming in violation of her post-war treaties, high officials of the British government intimated today. Just before a momentous cabinet meeting a number of the ministers emphasized that recent pronouncements pronounce-ments by Stanley Baldwin foreign minister Sir John Simon and other officials must be regarded as para-lelling para-lelling American advice to the Hitler Hit-ler government. Plan No Occupation It was suggested, however, that if the. United States officially ad-,. mcnlshes Germany that her rearm-raament rearm-raament polocy runs counter to the GermanrUnited States peace treaty, Great Britain, as one of the numerous num-erous signatories to the Versailles treaty, can make representations along similar lines, but based on application o4he latter pact. It was admitted that if admonitions admoni-tions fail rtxTTmpress the Hitler government with the advisability of remaining disarmed, the British government has no plans of action to enforce its policy. The cabinet unquestionably would reaffirm its unwillingness to consider con-sider preoccupation of German soil. The last experiment of that sort was too expensive for all nations na-tions involved. KELLY FIGHTS WITH OFFICERS OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 9 OLD George (Machine Gun) Kelly, accused ac-cused Urschel kidnaper, was struck over the left eye with a pistol in a fight with federal agents today as he and his wife, Katherine, entered federal buildings for trial.

Guards kept back a curious, surging crowd and the two defendants defend-ants were hurried on into court. The back of Kelly's head was bleeding and a knot the size of an egg appeared on the, left side of the forehead. , Christensen Speaks To "Y" Students People today are skeptical . even of their own skepticism, said Dr. Parley A. Christensen in a short talk to Brigham Young university students Monday morning. .The talk was introducing a series of short lectures on literary appreciation. ap-preciation. The most common disease of the age is a mind divided against itself, it-self, he continued, explaining that ever-increasing' specialization tends toward fragmentation in education and may destroy balance. Literary appreciation is important, import-ant, said Dr. Christensen, as 1t gives insight into the composite thought of the age and often provides pro-vides a. pattern for one's own life. Chauncey Spilsbury, recently returned re-turned from the Samoan islands, and Bishop Clarence Dana of Mesa Arizona who are visiting the uni versity spoke briefly to the students. 5 To Join U.
