j=L»-T-*—r_.SUNOOP. FRIDAY. AUGUST 193B. 'c?.. X GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY: Young Douglas Corrigan has done another amazing thing* He has astonished the New York police force, and that»s something. Even the most hardened traffic inspectors were astounded at the multitude that stood in the sweltering sun, a record heat of ninety-three degrees, and cheereST thr’,.u.ln.Miil y^eng-^i^-haLacu A ^ ^ Officers were comparing it to the crowds that greeted Lindbergh. According to one standard, the reception to Corrigan even exceeded the one to Lindbergh. That standard was the huge volume of paper , ' that was poured on the flyer. After the Lindbergh reception, the street cleaning department picked up seven.hundred and fifty tons of it. Today there were nineteen A hundred tons. When he came to the New York Advertising Club for ^ tAr'iJLj} uktiL luncheon, I asked Corrigan how he felt fcBdxy about it. Said he: /V "It was all right except for one telephone book." And he explained; LEAD - 2 "The fellow who threw it forgot to tear it up first and it hit me on the chest." The Advertising Ulub has welcomed many distinguished men of action, explorers who sweltered in the tropics, heroes who'd visited the Arctic and the Antarctic, but the biggest crowd of all t-^vv, } '"I— turned out for Con igan. Jn 11 .... . l j tropic heat^ phey waited patiently and-3»4frhout &oja|rl.Lijnt for two hours. And after he arrived. it was well worth it. This afternoon ^showed himself also to be a fellow of happy thought, of quick wit, great presence of mind, delightful personality, an all-round grand guy, We all agreed ±h with the New Work copper who remarked: "There1s a lad for you. Corrigan took it better than all the others who ever came up the street."- One thing we asked him was whether he was going to donate the plane in which he flew to Dublin to the Smitnsonian Institution. And he replied: "I haven!,t heard from the Smithsonian yet." One feature of the luncheon was a presentation to Corrigan. It was a silver bowl given to him by the organization of LEAD - 3 flyers known as "Men of Win-sThat made it aAhistoric affair, because it was the first trophy ever awarded to anybody by Men of V.’ings. Appropriately enough, the engravi^ inside the bowl A showed a drawing of the first airplane ever flown, the plane of the Wright brothers, of Dayton, Ohio. You will remember that Douglas Corrigan, until a couple of weeks a^o, was known only as a mechanic. Orville and Wilbur Wright, once upon a time were mechanics, two young mechanics with a bicycle shop at Dayton. Another feature of the luncheon was a poem specially written for the occasion. The author, Strickland Gilli^an, who many years ago wrote that famous ditty, "Off 'innegi A? a poem entitled: "Back-Agin Corrigan." The first verse reads: again, on again, gone again, Finnegan." 1 had (Pyi • * ' ' he responded nobly with ft "When I anciently babbled of Finnigin - In a trance I have never been in agin - X turned Irish Pegasus out to the grass Believing I’d need him no more; but alas He’s trying his wings ana must soai agin. All on account of Doug Corrigan. That is, this Corrigan Gives me a chore agin. TAXi -S Of all public questions, the most fertile source of argument and ill-feeling is perhaps that hapless tax on undistributed profits of corporations. Opponents of President Roosevelt have laid most of the troubles of the recession at the doors of that tax. Mr. Roosevelt spoke^t up for it staunchly, saying it was a necessary, invaluable source of revenue. Nevertheless, Congress ignored the President’s protests, pared down tha.t tax substantially. But never before has it come to light Just how much money that tax poured into Uncle Sam’s Cc t il iS. it . Now we know, for the Treasury has added them up and /'N published the results. In Nineteen Thirty-Seven, the undistributed profits tax brought in almost a hundred and forty-five million dollars. That’s twelve per cent of all the taxes on corporations# LABOR More trouble for that much harassed body, the National Labor Relations Board. This time again the trouble doesn’t cone from employers. today declared for war the death-fehcal. Board. V/illiam Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, said the word. "It will be my duty," lie said, "to mobilise the five million workers in the A.F. of L. to drive that Board from power.” And he added: "We w§nt a board that is fair." Arid be explained: "The National Labor Relations Board has been using the C.I.O. movement to encourage disunion in the labor movement, secession from the A.F. of Ju.” And that wasn’t all. Mr- Green rolled up his sleeves and declared: "The administration of the Wagner Act is terrifically awful. The National Labor Rele.ti.ons Board has sunk to a new low level. It is now a pro-G.I.O. agency." life* Green spoke these words in Massachusetts to the Massachusetts Federation of Labor \ pie ?-i- Pjrff**e_s pegit i n bith n s e—w-or-cls—in—t-ha-t—c bate • ”^e named a Massachusetts member of the^Board, the cnief offlender. iiid ^ Green: "Mr. Smith of Massachusetts has ^SStJ J\ - 2 gone so far as to declare that our American Federation of Labor craft unions are company unions.*' When Green got through, the Massachusetts Federation passed resolutions against not only Edward S. Smith of Massachusetts but also his colleague, Donald Smith of Pennsylvania a member of the Board. They Vgri-yftTig-K;irigre»± ask President a Roosevelt to dismiss both Smiths PRIMARY The returns are practically all in from that primary election in Tennessee. The most spectacular thing they spell is a crushing defeat for Senator George Berry, Millionaire, Labor leader, and a figure in the Tennessee Valley Authority dispute. Senator Berry is running more than sixty thousand votes behind his opponent, Tom Stewart, in a a hundred per cent^fL New Dealer. an al-ly of-Senator- nSiicitelieTT—geaalor—s^ner<tog_J^roBL--Tenrioo9^o. Political experts say that the New Deal not at issue in that Tennessee primary, A. although Senator. Berry had voted against some of the acts that President Roosevelt wanted passed. ROOSEVELT President Roosevelt took time out from his vacation today to give a quick onee-over to the Panama Canal Zone. The day began v»ith a visit of state from the President of the Republic of Panama, Six hundred American troops stood at attention on the pier of Balboa as a guard of honor for the Pan Amorleen President when he a a went on board the cruiser HOUSTON, After that, Mr. Roosevelt went ashore, had luncheon with Governor Ridley of the Canal Zone, and took the train for Cristobal, making an examination of our fortifications on the way. COLOMBIA Three of the bombers of Uncle Sam's army finished a good-will flight today. They landed at Bogata, capital of Colombia. They carried a greeting from President Roosevelt to Dr. iMiaMaFami the Republic of Colombia, flight from Miami, fifteen and twenty-two minutes. Edouard Santos, President-eile ct of "Incident allp> ^hey made the hundred miles, in just eight hours PUERTO filCO Several days ago, we told about trouble in Puerto Rico, the attempt to assassinate Governor Winship. But that attempt, as we learn today, does not reflect the feelings of all Puerto Ricans. A visitor in Washington is Don Jose Diego, Mayor of the City of Ponce, in Perurto Rico. He has been in Y/ashington for some time and is now returning home. He*s leaving behind him his appendix and taking with him one million, five hundred and seventypfour thousand dollars. A New Deal gift for the city he reules. And said Mayor Don Jose Diego: nMy people have very great love for the American.W RUSSIA f tJLls artillery of Soviet Russia was firing all day on Japanese soldiers^ 'fiaad the guns of the Mikado retaliating, ) Meanwhile, the diplomats .kssLxia in their offices at home were at a deadlock. As we heard yesterday, the Japanese said to Red Russia, 11 Let1 s negotiate.« Moscow replied, and the answer is practically an emphatic^ f,No.n Said Foreign Commissar . -—— Litvinov^ ’’We don11 negotiate until you remove Japanese soldiers back to the position they occupied July Twenty-Ninth, back from the territory you've seized," That means the strategic hill at Changkufeng, the meeting place of the frontiers of Manchukuo, Korea and Siberia. So there’s the situation.Stalin stands ) A pat. However, the feeling prevails that the Tokyo and Moscow Foreign Offices will be able to talk themselves out of it without any big scale war. CHINA A month ago, the Japanese invasion of China was crippled, by floods on the Yellow River, almost drowned out. More floods are now impending in that distressful country. Reports are that the Yangste is rising with great speed# of facfcy Some people say that the Chinese have cut the dikes in order itattixfeE to help the flood along. At any rate, if the inundation gets any worse, the Japanese army will have to retreat from the attack on Hankow, So today the Nipponese high command sent a flotilla of ninety-five gunboats and transports up the river. The object is to out-maneuvre not only the Chinese troops but the floods. TJ^e Giiy of Nhnchang, /'southeast of Hankow,/is rapid / 7 becoming deserted.

One effect of all this, has been that Franco was obliged to weaken the armies with which he was attacking Sagunto and Valencia. CZECHOSLOVAKIA Viscount Runciman^ the British peace—maker, is having his headaches in Czechoslovakia, '•ftilffL1 'y'-whertr he eypocted♦ His joh is made more difficult today by a fresh squabble between Hitler and the Czechoslovaks. At Berlin, the German government issued a warning. ^If any more Czechoslovak planes fly over German territory they*11 be shot down.,f This was provoked by three army aviators that flew over the border last Wednesday. The government of Prague explained that they had lost their way during maneuvres. Says Berlin: "ThatTs a phoney excuse." a±aci A radio broadcast from Prague, in the German language, retorted nehemently. Said the Czechoslovaks:- "On three different occasions German planes flew over Czech territory, a part of the country far more important than the German terrain over which our aviators flew by mistake." BEAR A Pittsburgh lady was walking on Highland Avenue^ near the entrance to the Highland Park Zoo, Out of the gates of the zoo she saw a large, dark figure lumberingin awkward fashion. Her first thought was: "My, 11*3 funny to see a man wearing a fur coat on a day like this." The man in the fur coat turned and walked towards the lady, whereupon she saw that it was the kind of fur coat that couldnft be taken off. The next thing, police headquarters got a hysterical message that a bear was at large in Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, It was one of the largest, most powerful animals in the Pittsburgh Zoo. it we-G—a_d.ady bear weighing almost four hundred pounds. In order to take her promenade in the Pittsburgh streets she had ripped out three iron bars, two inches in diameter, from the roof of tessr cage. described as "too tough to have a name." One of the worst tempered animals in the whole zoo. The park was immediately closed to visitors and ail traffic was barred in the neighborhood. BEAR - 2 a squad of thirty cops with machine guns and rifles were on the /Lautt ytcr ^/SxJUL XJjl look-out. eighteen shots from a sub-machine gun.%®- sutoduo' ■hoiS' ALL STAR There's an interesting race on in the Middle West, a race that will be decided tonight and tomorrow. The contest is being staged by one hundred and twenty-five newspapers to select the coach for the annual game between crack professional and college football teams, the game to be played in Chicago on August twenty-first between the Washington "Redskins" and the Chicago Collegiate "All-Stars." The most interesting thing ^iegBe^tho~ rune so far is that a deposed coach seems to be leading the field, Harry Kipke, former Michigan coach. Others who are close behind in the race are:- B q McMillan of Indiana,"Ducky" Pond of Yale,' and. Elmer Layden. of Hotre Dame. If Kipke wins his friends will regard it as something of a vindication for the coach who lost out at Michigan, because he had several great seasons and several that were not so good. In the meantime, of course, Andy Kerr of Colgate is tuning up the Eastern Collegiate "All-Btars" for their annual battle with the Hew York Giants. Both are benefit games. Both draw great crowds. And the Question of which is better, college football or the professional brand is never decided. The debate will still goes on and on. GOLF Th^refs a golf game going on nec*r Ghica^o that ought to interest even those who hate golf. Since shortly aft*; daybreak this morning, a young Chicago broker has been going round and. round the Number four course at Olympia Fields* There’s no record at stake and he’s not a champion. But the whole country is watching him. because of the human story behind it. His name is J. Smith Ferrebee. had a disagreement with his partner about a plantation Ferrebee is playing golf today. He bet his partner that he could go eight times round “fch&t course in one day, scoring never less than ninety-five in any single round. .If he makes it, he will have walked more than forty miles. Late this afternoon he was well up on schedule. He had been playing at the rate of more than one stroke a minute. mTtTHgw If he wins, he gets that plantation and twenty-five Three thunderstorms came along, soaked him to the skin.
