NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Southern J,taly Devastated by Quake-Thousands Killed or Injured. By EDWARD W . P ICKA R D S OUTHERN Italy was rocked and. torn by the worst earthquake in that region since the terrible dl.saster that destroyed Messina In 1908. Definit e ligures on the loss of life may not be known for many days. At this WJ'iting it is known that 2,013 persons . were killed and twice as many injured. Communications in the stricken area broke down and airplanes were being used for relief and exploration work. , 'fhe provinces of Puglle, Campania and Basilicata sustained the worst of the temblor, but it was felt as far north as Abruzzi and Molise. The quake, which started at 1 :15 in the morning, centered around the old volcano Mount Vultura, and the city of Melli. just north of that cone, was destt·oyed, as were also the near-by towns of Lacedonia, Aqui1onia, Bisaccia and Ariano. :Many other cities and villages were partly razed, and famous palaces and churches wero::l ruined. Even Rome and Naples were badly shaken, and several persons were killed in the latter city. Premi~r Mussolini promptly took command of the situation and rescue and relief measures were put into effect quickly throughout the deYastated region, the Red Cross and the army with hosts of physicians and nurses, being hurried to the scene, Pope Pius ordered that aid be sent to places in urgent need ancT a relief fund held in readiness by the Vatican. Though southern Italy was thronged with tourists, it was believed there were no casualties among the Ameri· cans there. Two days after the earthquake a tornado sw!:'pt over the Venice district, killing a dozen persons and causing heavy damage over a stl'etch of 25 miles. also had Its disrtster, G ERMANY vastly less in magnitude but shocking enough. During the celebration in Coblenz of the evacuation o{ the Rhineland, in which President von Hindenburg was the central fig. ure, a pontoon bridge across the Moselle collapsed and about 80 men. women and children were precipitated into the river. :"\1any of them were killed by the falling timbers and many others drowned. The bodies of 38 were recovered and it was feared more might be found by divers. The celebrations, which had been going on gaily for seve1·al days. were brought to au end by the calamity. 0 VER In England there was an airplane disaster made notable by the prominence of the 1·ictims. A Junkers air liner en route from France to Crosdon blew up near Gravesend and its stx occupants were ki11ed, They were the marquis of Dufferin and Ava ; Viscountess EJdnam, a noted beauty and close friend of the prince of Wales; Sir Edward Ward; Mrs. Henrik Loeffler, well known society woman; Lieut. Col. Geot·ge L, P. Henderson, the pilot, who was rated as one of !%gland's best flyers, and Charles S:=tearing, second pilot. T HAT Lond.fln naval treaty is now In effect so f'lr as American action goes. The senat« by a vote of 58 to 9. ratified the pact, and next, day PresJ. dent Hoover signed it with the gold pen used by the American delegates to the conference to sign the treaty in London. The document was then sent to London, where parliament was engaged in giving the pact its ap· proval. In , a formal statement President Hoover said: "It is a matter of satisfaction that this great accomplish· ment ln international relations has at all steps been given united support of both our political parties. "With the ratification by the other goYernments the treaty will translate a n emotion deep in the hearts of millions of men and women into a prac· tical fact of government and international relations. It will renew again the faith of the world In the moral forces of good wlll and patient negotiation as against the blind forces of suspicion and competitive armament. It "-'ill s'ecure the full defense of the United States. It will mark a further long step toward lifting the burdens of militarism from the backs of mankind and to speed the march forward of world peace. It will lay the foundations upon which further constructive reduction In world arms may be accompllshed In the future. We should by this act of willingness to join with others in limiting armament have dismissed from the mind of the world any notion that the United States entertains Ideas of aggression, Imperial power, or exploitation of for· eign nations." Immediately after the ratification by the senate, the President asked for the names of those who voted In opposition. These were Bingham of Connecticut, Hale of Maine, Johnson of California, l\loses of New Hamp· shire, Oddie of Nevada, Pine of Oklahoma and Robinson of Indiana. all Republicans; and McKellar of Tennessee and Walsh of Massachusetts, Democrats. senators from wheat statesFIVE Capper, Allen, 1\Icl\Iaster, Howell and Pine-called on Chairman Legge of the federal farm board in Washington and agrrin urged that the board adopt Capper's plan and buy a lot more wheat in the effm·t to boost the price. Once more Mr. Lo>gge refused, declaring the scheme would be at best only a temporary exp,dient and in the long run would make the wheat problem worse. He declared the board, which has 60,000,000 bushels on its hands, would not purchase any more at this time and would sell none until the price advanced. "\Vhat we want." said Mr. Legge, "is something permanent. Stabilization will work admirably on seasonal surpluses, but it cannot be used on an accumulat!Ye surplus. We have had an accumulative surplus in wheat for four years. Stabilization will not cure it. I don't say stabilization is a failure. but it won't \York at the present time. To follow Senator Cap· per's plan would only encourage the farmers in Kansas to raise more wheat and make a bad situation worse." In Kansfts t!le w!Jeat problem Is having powe1·ful effect In the gubernatorial primary campaign. Go>ernor Reed, who attacl's the farm board plan for reduction of wheat acreage. is up for renomination by the Repuh licans and is opposed by fi'rank Haucke of Council GroYe, a farmer, who upholds Legge's plan. D I<J'.rROIT, which has won an unenviable reputation as a vice center in recent years, has begun to clean bouse. Charles Bowles, who ·was st!rving his second term as ma:vor. was ousto>d from office last wee\' in a spec-ial recall election, the majority against him being 30,956, When Bowles took office last year he ap· pointed as public works commissioner one Joseph Gillespie who had been forced out as police commissioner in 1916, when vice conditions in Detroit were especially bacl. Under Bowles, the newspapers declared, gambling houses and speakeasies began running wide O]Wn and Police Commissioner Harold Emmons was said to be afraid to close them. Finally, while Mayor Bowles was attending the Ken.tucky derby, Emmons did raid some places. and the mayor thereupon ousted him. Under the Ia w a new election to fill the mayor's place must be held within 30 days of the filing of the certifier] returns of the recall election. Under the law Bowles is automatically a candidate for re-election and any other candidates may go on the ballot by presenting nominating petitions signed by 14.000 votet·s. Only a few hours after the Detroit voters bad put Bowles out of office, Gerald Buckley, a radio announcer who had been delivering addresses describing vice conditions In Detroit and criticizing the mayor's administration. was shot to death in the lob· by· of a hotel by three men who escaped. 'rhis was the eleventh gang murder in 'the city !n nineteen days. Governor Green Mdered the state P9· lice to Investigate the crime Independently and said he would call out state troops, if necessary, to stop the assassinations. 'fhere were points of similarity between the murder of Buckley and that of Jake Lingle, the Chicago reporter. It was asserted Buckley had been the Intimate friend of underworld characters, and the Detroit pollee said they had In their possession an affida l'it purporting to show that he had been extorting money from bootleggers. pETER A. BOGDANOV, the Russian who heads the board of directors of the Amtorg Trading corporation, which Is the official buying agency for the Soviet government in the Uniterl States, Is much peeved. Grover Whalen, Matthew Woll and others told the congressional committee in· vest!gut!ng Communist activities that Amtorg has been using lts powers for propaganda against our government. This Mr. Bogdanov strenuously denies, and he says unless the charges are "thoroughly Investigated and found baseless," the continuance of Soviet· American trade "will be an almost Impossible task." This was understood as a plain threat that governmental interference with Amtorg will be resented to the tune of more than $100,000,000 a year-the amount of Russian imports from America the company contt·ols, and can withdraw. The committee obtained from Bogdanov admissions that the Amtorg, a million dollar concern incorporated in New York state, is owned by the Soviet bank of foreign trade, which in turn is controllet! by the Soviet government. and that high Communiet 9ffic!als lla ,.e been sent here to head it, and only two naturalized Russians are among its directors. Amto1·g has been extended credit of $80,000,000 by banks in this country. HUSTON, after conferC LAUDIUS ring with Pro>sident Hoover, announced that he would resign as chairman of the Republican national committee on August 7. This greatly relieved the leaders of the party, who had insisted on Mr. Huston's retirement b~cause of re>elations made before the senate lobby committee. D vention E~10CRA'l'S of Iowa in state conadopted a plank in their platform calling for "a reasonable definition" of what constitutes intoxicating liquor and advocating a natiOl•-wide referendum on prohibition. The reason for this stand, the resolution says. is the "nation-wide scandal" brought about by dry law enforcement methods. rn this way the Democrats accepted the challenge of the Republican state convention. ,,·bich voted down a resolution urging moclification of the prohibition Ia w. R lOTING by the E;zyptian Wafdists was rene1ved last week ln Cairo and Port Said, and there were a number of deaths lu the battles with the police and troops.

He died in a hospital at Staunton, Va. Harry S.
