L^T. SUMOCO - FEBRUARY 7. 1933 a GOOD EVENING, EVi RYBODY:- / \ ( The twentieth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, Senator Norris’s ^ame Duck amendment, is now an accomplished fact. Secretary of State Sfimson has attached his signature to a document certifying that this amendment is now I ^ J definitely a part of the Constitution, i —o— It seems to be the ashion nowadays for various states to declare war on each other. The Mayor of New York City recently gave tongue to a proposal to tax all commuters. That is, all people working in New York and living outside the city limits. This aroused the goat of New Jersey. A resolution has been adonted in. the New Jersey Assembly condeming Mayor O’Brien's proposal, and the Jersey legislators further Indicate that if New York's Mayor attemots to go through with it, New Jersey will close the Holland Tunnel which goes under the Hudson between New York and Jersey City, on all Sundays and holidays. it is not quite clear how New Jersey could close the BRIEFS - £ Tunnel, because it is under the control of thePort of New York Authority, and is owned in nartnership by the states of New Jersey and New York. —o— Norman Thomas who has just bean making a tour of the Middlewest, speaking and listening and looking, has returned to New York, prophesying a dictatorship for the U.S.A. He found people in genersX of a cynical turn of mind, even more so than last autumn. He told the reporters that politically most of the people with whom he talked seem disposed to give Roosevelt a break. Nevertheless, he said, nI think the trend Is toward a dictatorship but as yet there is no dictator in sight.” He believes the dictator, when he comes, will be of the Mark Hanna type, talking the language of Huey Long. How Is^t that an interesting picture? —o— Then Chief Justice Hughes, so Washington gossip Has it, is in a high state of indignation. He feels that the BRIKPS 5 burlesque-inf of the Supreme Court in the musical show "Of Thee I Sing*' is excessively irreverent.^ What the Chief Justice * objects to particularly is having the Justices of the Supreme o Court in that play 10 a clog dance wearing long whiskers which almost sweep the floor, -la "fc c U~< jl . 3 BARRY comedy o? the article thrct Mr. Barry, Sergeant— at-Arne 01 the Senate wrote for the ^ew uutlook, bids fair to turn out none too comically for Mr. Barry.

Inasmuch as Mr, Barry mentioned no names, it is rather difficult to see where a charge of this nature will lie. Thus the Senators have vindicated the dignity of their togas by dismissing the seventy-three year old Sergeant-at-Arms.

Paul Mallon, an experienced Washington correspondent, declares emphatically that nobody buys or sells congressional votes. Thin.s are never done so crudely, he adds. Some Congressmen have been influenced by gifts of stock in corporations, but cash is never used. Such is the an experienced observer. JFK GERMANY WWWWMB—Ul-.^W^rr ........... ..... The end of pai’llaraentary government in Germany seems much nearer. A violent tirade against Jews by a Hitlerite at a parliament committee meeting had the effect of breaking up the meeting. You will find an interesting account of this in your favorite evening paper. It was a session of the Permanent Committee for safe­ guarding parliamentary rights, otherwise called the Control Com- mittee. This is the committee that represents the parliament during the interval between the dissolution of one Reichstag and the election of the next. It has the right to call the government to account for its actions. 'i'oday^ session was for the ourpose of remonstrat­ ing with the Chancellor on account of the new decrees which limit the rights of free speech and public assembly. The Chairman of the Committee, former President of the Reichstag, is a Socialist. Nov/ many socialists in Germany are Jews. Consequently the Hitlerite members of the Committee refused to meet under the chairmanship of this Socialist leader. GERMANY - 2 Th' tirade against tlie Jev.s was delivered by Chancellor Hitlers legal exnert. The meeting broke up in disorder and correspondents feel that this is another indication that parliamentary government in Germany is on the skids. -to Jr CUBA ~Lli' Aei’ ■Lc>r^ Herald Tribune this mornin" carried an interesting sIxiEHac statement on the state of affairs^in Cuba. by General lenocal, a former president of Cuba, and theTpolitical enemy the ft present President Machado. Genex*al nocal is quoted as sayinr that General Machado roes about in an armored car heavily protected by soldiers. Furthermore, his whereabouts are carefully concealed. It is said that he claims nineteen attemots have been mrde on his life. General Menocal declared further that martial law has reirnr : almort uninterruptedly in Cuba since November of CHINA Xhe Chinese government evidently fears that Japanese forces will penetrate further and further into Chinese territory. 1 ririTfiTT*T~7T>>'J —fr~*4— T~7T*r*'~filji>jg H'l m** 1 j 1 Peiping; ioblo* the* the numerous treasures that once belonged to the rulers of the Celestlrl empire have been removed from the Forbidden City.

Anyway, Willis Faber's •Liars* Club,** continues my friend, ,5meets for lunch every Friday in Milton, They have a lot of fun not only swapping lies, but assessing each other once a month and using the proceeds to bring children - from the slums of uew York into the fresh air of Pennsylvania. The King 11 of the Club, Willis Faber, is a veteran trout fisherman. The theme- story of the Club runs as follows: "There was a man who fished a mountain streaih all day long didnlt even get a bite.

Sitting up he blinked his eyes* And said the fisherman; 'You*re a so and so liar, fhere ain't no fish that big In the creek'.” But I'd like to say to my friend of the so and so Liars Club that we have some Tall Story Club Grand Ananiases who can make that yarn look like a Supreme Court Affidavit, BANDITS nere‘s a plucky woman.
