This is oemcwhufc of a strange tale, but stranger still when you consider the weight and importance of the person who told it. For the yarn was brought from Europe to Mew york by none other than Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University. And Dr. Butler admitted that this astrology yarn might sound like nonsense. "But," said he, "it's the sort of nonsense that may easily give modern civilization another terrific shock.” President Butler also reported that nobody in Europe expects or counts upon military help from the U.S.A. in case a war breaks out. But, he added that they do look for moral support. 1 i i i i is i i I! EXPLOSION At a. town In Epain not far from Burgos, a' large supply of gunpowder was kept. The day was still young, v*hen suddenly a terrific explosion snook the countryside for thirty miles around. The gunpowder nad been improperly stored and the heat of of the battles in the Spanish Civil Wax. One hundred am dead, the s\in touched it off. The consequences were am serious A /\ between fifteen hundred and two thousand injured. t»*e.5<r"who peri-shed w Tne cnnf1agratiow that followed was so severe that fire companies were sent from as far away as Madrid and Salamanca. The authorities had to throw a cordon of civil guard and regular army troops around the scene of the disaster to prevent people from going into the danger spot to look for missing kinsfolk, ^any pwcTtw were left homeless and are being cared for in a temporary city of tents. CHIUA Events are moving again in the Far East, The Japanese are starting off on a new line of action. First of all, the publicity bureau of the Nipponese army issued a quaint announcement. His Majesty’s army, said the dhief press agent, will in future support /N both the principles and the objectives of the great Chinese revolutionary hero. Dr. Sun Yat Sen. No statement could sound more strange coming from Nipponese lips. On top of that, the Japanese picked a supreme <3U“LJ? leader for the new central government they!** organizing in parts of China under Japanese control, fhat new leader will be A Wang Ching-Wei, former Premier of China. He was at one time an associate of Chiang Kai-shek, but broke away from him last year, The Japanese are hoping by this move to be able to hasten the end of Chiang Kai-shek's resistance.

Tnat o.P.A. strike against Congress has some of the Congressmen worried. It also has several of them distinctly annoyed. And the out-and-out pro-labor lawmaiters are taking steps to help the strikers. Representative Sabath of Illinois introduced a dill to restore the prevailing wage rate it was before the last ^ A relief bill was passed. A similar bit of legislation was introduced in the Senate by gmrfcCT Wagner of New York. C7 Thwse two bills will not pass without a fight. That was made obvious by Representative Woodrum of Virginia, Chairman of the Sub-Commit tee which drafted the relief bill. For years he has been clamoring for the cutting down of relief expenses. And he says he^ going to fight to the last ditch against any congressional okay of the prevailing wage rate. Other congressmen resent the strikes because they1re in defiance of the federal government. The progress of those strikes^resolves itself into a war of words between the union officials and the W,P.A. executives. all The unions say they haveW.P.A. projects in New York at a standstill, W.P.A. administrators say, nothing of the sort, that there are plenty of skilled workers who refuse to strike. trrr'-T Tr—t. — The president of the Building Trades and W.P.A, - 2 Construction Council said that was ridiculous) W.P.A. administrator tx just burying his head in the sand. According to the United Press, a hundred thousand W.P.A* workers were out on strike throughout the country today, and seventy-five more are A expected to join before the end of the week. United Press investigators find that the strikes are increasing, tA - ADD ttPA The only serious trouble so far was in Minneapolis. TJje bulletin that just came in reports that there was fighting in Minneapolis between the police and the W.P.A. strikers. One Minneapolis cop slugged and killed^two jot^er^ people injured. The /policeman w^s trying to protect a worker who did not want to strike. The strikers beat him to death and seriously injured i /-✓ two other cops. The riot was so serous that one hfundred policemen were sent to stop it. And what do you suppose the job was that produced all this violence;aadmire=da (X sewing project. bridges I ' Angel Island in San Francisco bay is the Ellis Island of the west. At the immigration station there a trial is going on for which many people have been clamoring a long while. It- I k proceeding tg~~igoverraggnt to deport Harry bridges, Sidney who as C.I.O. chief in the west, has, according to 'h A the charges of the people who don*t like him, ruled part of the $ Pacific coast with a rod of iron. The government wants to deport Bridges, send him back to Australia on the ground that he is a Communist, a man who wants to overthrow our government by force. Bridges denies it. SUPRS^ court The Supreme Court of the United States became the target for a bitter attack today. The person who delivered fh*£ A attack was none other than the President of the American Bar Association, Frank J, Hogan of Washington, DJc^^lsa^took his crack at the high court at the opening of the Sixty-Second Annual Convention of the Bar Association at San Francisco. He drew a long bill of indictment against the court. He said it reversed constitutional doctrines and established principles. He charged further that the court no longer afforded a protection for the people gainst the arbitrary exercise of power. And consequently he said it was up to the legislative branch of the government to protect American citizens. Then he said, the further result of decisions by the court is that no lawyer can safely advise his client what the law ds and that no business man and no farmer can carry on their work and be quite sure whether or not they are breaking the law. From all these accusations, the President of the Bar Association excluded Justice McReynolds and Justice Pierce Butler. LQiLNS The machinery of Congress today started moving to put through President Rooseveltrs big lending scheme. One bill was introduced in tne Senate by Barkley of Kentucky. Another in the House by Representative Steagall of Alabama, Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee. The bill is not precisely what the President asked fo^ Ut but pretty close. It cuts out the one feature of Mr. Roosevelt’s A plan which had already been violently criticized, I mean his proposal to lend five hundred million dollars to foreign countries But to be spent here, ^the new Act provides a minor substitute for tH The Export and Import Bank —v'v- at present is being authorized by Congress to extend^loans up to a hundred million dollars. Well, that authorization would be increased to two hundred million if this Act is passed. Thus Congress has already cut four hundred millions of± the two billion, six hundred and sixty million dollar total that the President proposed to hand out in loans. SWANSON A solemn ceremony was performed in the Chamber of the Senate of the United States today. The late Secretary Swanson was given a formal state funeral. It was attended by President Roosevelt *| himself and all the top notchers of the government as well as the diplomatic corps, and high ranking officers of both the Navy and Army, The casket, drapped in a flag, was guarded by a sailor and * a marine. Around it sat Mr, Roosevelt, his Cabinet and the Justices | 1 of the Supreme Court. Right behind the President sat the two Senators from Virginia, Carter Glass and Harry Byrd, as the late Secretary of the Navy, for twenty-three years a Senator from Virginia. £-€ ts going to give up A new job .gi.n< iwuiatrqui* Paul ^cKutt.

The Department of seventy million, seven hundred and ninety-five thousand bushels. Agriculture guesses it at^ssesttEBSsjEjtwo billion, five hundred and That1s more than two hundred billion bushels above the average and considerably larger than the production last year. In consequence there's a possibility of quota restrictions on the marketing of corn. These will be established after a referendum. But of course the referendum can't be called until after the Department has issued its estimate of the August crop. The Department also reports that the xftxi wheat harvest will be larger than the experts had estimated. The rains that fell to break the drought in the middle west brought about a big increase of the crop, PETROLEUM Never before did I have any idea of what an extraordinary variety of things can be made o\Jt of petroleum. This comes from a scientist in England. Dr. A. E. Diimstan gives us prophecy of the world of tomorrow. We1!! be living in houses constructed and furnished with plastics -- from petroleum. Our roofs, walls, doors, partitions, windows, chairs, and tables, will be made of plastics that have a petroleum base. The clothes we wear will be made out of cloth spun from fibres from petroleum, and colored with petroleum dyes. In short. Dr. Dunstan conjures up the picture of man sleeping under a roof of petroleum tile In a bed made out of petroleum. When he awakes, he111 step into a bathtube constructed and made of petroleum, full of water heated by petroleum, of course. Then he’ll put on his aH&xgBiHXBlixidtthxpBtxsIjBHmxGtXBX petroleum pants and when he sits down to breakfast some of the food he eats will also be synthesized petroleum — shredded petroleum oilies I suppose.
