Great Britstrong Introduce Disturbing Influence. , ain and France have long sought to Since last summer the public has cringed under a barrage of insults and name-callinhurled back and forth between Rep. Martin Dies of the house commit tee and members of the Roosevelt administration. Mr. Dies' favorite enemy in the cabinet has always been Madame Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, but lately his appetite has been whetted by conflict with Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes. Alice Lee Jemison, a Yosemite Indian, told Mr. Dies' committee that Mr. Ickes was a member of the Civil Liberties Union. She said that Roger Baldwin, head of the group, once told another congressional committee that the organization upheld the rights of aliens to advocate murder, assassination and the overthrow of the government by force and violence. This charge started the ball rolling. Admitting membership in the union, Mr. Ickes called Mr. Dies "the outstanding zany in our political history." Answered Mr. Dies: "The secretary's most recent fit of uncontrollable rage only emphasizes his unfitness for the high position he holds. The secretary literally reeks with the venom of hatred. It flows from him as naturally and freely as water from a spring." As Mr. Dies prepared to release his selection for the "1938 all un- American team," the average U. S. citizen was beginning to wonder if the committee's real purpose, to uncover evidence of subversive activities, was not being overlooked. Fotential 1940 presidential nominees will be well mulled over before the nominating conventions roll around, but a few straws are already in the wind. First: Missouri's new Sen. Bennett Champ Clark, a "middle - of - the - road" Democrat whom many of his partisans would like to see nominated for 1940, hai inferred that his ambitions reach na higher than the senate, and that he will not run for the presidency. Second: Republican Alf M. Landon, defeated in 1936, made the following comment at a New York luncheon: "The woods are full of Republicans, but I think there is one outstanding Democrat and that is the man just elected for the fourth time as governor of New York." But few politicians consider Gov. Herbert H. Lehman a serious possibility. THE HOUSE news vj !r1 1, 193$ Preserving Linoleum.

PARTON In Europe, a few this writer met a friend who had just interviewed 's Gen. Ismet Inonu, who is today new Inonu tor, succeeding An Iron Man, Kemal Ataturk, Yet a Diplomat who died recent- "He's the ly. smartest hombre I ever met," said my friend. "He talked to me for two hours, frank and honest, looking me right in the eye and never holding out on anything. He was charming and brilliant and he didn't ask me not to print anything. I thought I had a great story. But, when I started to write it, there was just nothing there. I saw him several times after that, and realized that he was a master in talk which left no commitments whatsoever. I saw cagey diplomats kissed off just as I had been. The man is a marvel of brains and ingenuity." The small, fragile, deaf, ingratiating General Inonu is the hero of the Turkish army, premier until a year ago, when he was mysteriously benched by Kemal Ataturk. There were rumors that he was engaged in international negotiations of such subtlety that he found it necessary to keep out of office and It was in 1920 that young Colonel Ismet joined Mustafa Kemal in Anatolia. By 1922, he had driven the Greeks out of Anatolia and Smyrna and in this period and thereafter he was Kemal Ataturk's chief military aide. He added to his lau rels, when, at the 1923 Lausanne conference, he ran rings around British and Italian diplomats and won for Turkey virtually its demands. He was one of few men who retained the confidence of Ataturk to the end. He was a firm and exacting and, at times, ruthless ruler of the army, and is said to lack none of the traditional specifications of the iron man. It is apparent that Ismet Inonu is intent on keeping Turkey diplomatically liquid, that he fully realizes the bargaining power of Turkey's hegemony over the Moslem bloc, and that he probably will use this and other strategic assets in making some shrewd bargains.

But a bad press in Germany. His plea for Joint defense . against "any threat of attack" is in interesting contrast to his speeches of a year ago, when he appealed to the "nations of the world for a new world order, based on Justice and law." He weighs the actualities of trade, finance and the collective safety and solvency of the Western world. Something like a picture of a western league of nations begins to emerge as the great imperialisms turn toward the vast taw material storehouse of South America. After his graduation from Harvard in 1914, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of the navy, helped him enter career diplomacy. In his early thirties, he was high commissioner to the Dominican Republic, the author of "Nabolh's Vineyard," a study of that country. He was made ambassador to Cuba by President Roosevelt in 1933. He became undersecretary of state last year. Latin-Americ- each blade before it cools. or rt a Heat Before Polishing. Knives will brighten quickly if heated before being polished.
