L.T. - Sunoco - June 1st,1933. xLkXl.iv Good Evening, Eveiybody: / A ( SkM^v.-ily circus press agent tried to msice some capital out of the bank inanity of the S nate Committee on Banking and Currency. } And were those Senators '.sore . Early in the ?roc< edings Senator Cart1 r Glass of Virginia hod openly declared that this investigation oas nothin- but a circusjKith that all that was needed was peanuts and pink lemonade. He came pretty near being right today. A female midget about thirty inches tall, was brought into the Committee Room and introduced to the Horgnn partners, including the great • P. himself, "r. Morgan, a punctilious man, rose to greet the miniature woman and had to bend almost double to shake hands. Then hr sat down. The press agent of the circus in two shakes of a duc';!s tail, picked the midget up and plunked her down on trie lap of J. P. Morgan. The next thing the bystanders knew; a camera man conveniently located, f la sued his bulb and, lo, there was a picture of J. P. Morgan with a female midget on his knee. The episode was so bald and bold that the Senators could not help observing It, and iMr. Fletcher, Chairman of the Committee, get exe e ed 1 n g ly^ lshso SS l I mi K ijF? fmriiirjrliiiiiTtiF hot under th- collar. MIDGET He first asked the photographers not to print the picture, but by the time he got those words out they v.ere on their way to the office to develop the plates J The Committee then decided that if those pictures are published, all camera men vill be hoofed out of the Committee Room. this Committee decided by a vote of eleven to three, to make public the Articles of Partnership of the House of Morgan. These Articles indicate that J. R. has absolute command over the firm that bears a? his name. Nevertheless, all the partners have considerable leeway To get down to the serious business of the investigation. in transactions. vq , N.B.C. G j MI’VA The Disarmament Conference at Geneva has taken a Pour week’s adjournment, and Nornan H. i^avis. Uncle Sara1s Ambassador at large, is furious. Mr. Davis has frequently upraided the delegates with stalling, and fta-tTr’-ptruw rj-t "too much procedure." As he fold his brother delegates: "I am not interested in procedure, but disarmament." In spite of this the Conference took the adjournment to enable its Bureau to take up several disputed questions which have risen up between delegates of various nations. A wireless dispatch just received brins the information that Mr. Davis^in President Roosevelt’s name, agreed to Prance’s proposal for international control of armament. He made, however, the reservation that the O.S.A. must in no way be obligated to take part in any hostilities by reason of such agreement.

President Roosevelt gave no indication of what he expects to be done about that payment. So we*11 probably be hearing a good deal 9rBCn&, this troublesome ouestion during the next couple of /V weeks. N.B.C MUSSOLINI ■ - t .. ..-muir ■ n-i . ..i, , There*s somethin interesting in store for you Saturday Prime Minister Mussolini of Italy will address the Italian Senate on the famous four power pact that he devised and which is gradually becomin an accomplished fact. You vill probably recall that it is an agreement between Italy, France, Germany and England, to abstain i from war for ten years, and to take a common line of action in all Germany and England are erecting a peace pact of their own, a pact which ought to dominate the entire continent of Europe. All this will be explained to th Italian Senators scfxthE by the Duce himself Saturday morning. The proceedings will be broadcast over the N.B.C. networks in this country. So at noon. Eastern Daylight ^aving Time, you will be able to hear the famous Duce himself. Of course, he will speak in Italian, but for the benefit of woi* 1 d affairs be tv;e en words, Italy, France, those who do not understand, there will be a translation in English.

V.ell, it seems that the idea suggested by the First Lady of the Land is now becoming an accomplished fact, I learn from Lashing ton that a joint statement to that effect was issued today by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, The experiment is bein:; conducted with federal funds* The idea^-^ -ef ~onr« ^ is to have camps for women somewhat similar to the civilian conservation camps for men established by the President. If this experiment rch± in New York, which is going on high up on the western bank of the Hudson River in Bear Mountain Park, if this experiment is successful, similar camps will be established in other parts of the country. The Hew York camp will be in operation by the end of this week. •vill accommodate three hundred women at A the nominal cor t of five dollars each a week.

You remember Russell Sherwood, the mysterious fina.ic’iei agent of ex-mayor Jij.fmie V'alker? You remember hoar he disappeared when Jud -e Samuel Seabury started his investigation of Fa.tr. r Knickerbocker^ soiled municipal affairs? V, ell, the police and even the operatives of Uncle Sam himself went out lookin for Russell Sherwood. In fact, the search vvs.s carried on over the entire face of the lobe. Where the police and the government agents failed, two reporters of the ^ew York American succeeded. And the:/ found tvv. Sherwood living m Kew Jersey. A- ^ By the courtesy of the New York Americam I am able to *W>0 give you Sherwood1s explanation of his disappearance. He told A copyrI hted American r/;porters in a ceowiivyitur^ int.rview that he left the ‘ A city and state only to shield Jimmie from an inquisition into his private life. He also told the New York American that he was not and never had been Jimmie Walker1s financial go-between. :’n.i:;--.0QD - 2 The managing editor of the tfew York Am-ric&n tol me today that f r ei. n’teen months they have kept a reporter on rher’-ood1 s trail. This newspaper man checked every known place where Sherwood might he and at the end of a year and a half his patience was rewarded. And that sounds o rn like swell sleuth work. It is now up to some newspaper to find the missing Justice Crater, whose disappearance has for years oca* been New York*s most Baffling mystery. N.B.C CHICAGO Prince C^.rl of Sweden, nephew of the Kin’ and brother of Grown Princess Astride of Bel ium, was in Chicago today but the Swedish Consulate did not know of his presence, for he travelled incognito. He came to Chicago by motor and registered under the family name of wBernadotten. He said he was in Chicago to see the forId * s Fair where his ov rnment had an exhibit. A:mPOLIS u There were big doings at Anriapolis today, the graduation of two hundred and forty-four potential future Admirals. The class of 1955 of Uncle Sam's Naval Academy held its commencement exercises, This class received an unusual distinction. It took its diploma, from the hands of no less a magnifico than, Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, President Roosevelt himself. It is unusual for a President to make this presentation. He was escorted by a secret service guard and Secretaries Marfcin^ McIntyre, and Steve Aarly. The class of 193-5 consists of four hundred and thirty- two graduates, but on account of the Economy Act, only two hundred and forty-four of them will o into the Navy or the Marine Corps, The others received degrees of Bathelor of Science, and will o into private life. N.B.C. crjgad :: i-£ It looks as thoU; h tm* impatience wi tft the hu;e growth of crime as an industry in this country was really spreading widely. Everybody*^ knovvn tile.t there is more crime to the squre mile in this country than im ?.ny tmtuu? in the wo: Id* but most people have shrugged their shoulders at it. V/ell, a large organization -of young men known as the Crusaders are preparing to help the authorities in the campaign against^ itrftmuu There * s going to be a giant mass meeting in Carnegie Hall tomorrow night, which will be the first movement of the campaign, The speeches wjflLl be broadcast throughout the country over an N, B.C. network. Among the speakers will be General John F. 0,Ryan, the wartime Commander of the Rainbow Division, and Hr. James Joseph, popularly known as Gene Tunney. The Senate Committee on Commerce today favorably reported a resolution offered by Senator Copeland of dew York A A to investigate racketeering in all its phases.

This ship, a hundred and eighty-five ton vessel, for river patrol v/ork, as sent over the seas neatly packed in four hundred and forty cases. Upon arrival the various pieces were put together in th dockyard at Shanghai. /\ BAIhh* 'AD The Committee on Interstate Commerce of the House of Representatives today made a favorable report on the bill to establish a coordinator for the railroads of the U.S.A, Before ' report!n; the bill the Committee put in the Senate amendment which forbids the discharging of railroad employees. The Congress has not been as spry with this new act as with other measures of the Administration, It has been substantially re-written in both Houses, In fact, it had been so much changed that it is believed the ■awfarTT* originally designated for railroad A A coordinator will probably turn the job down, N, B.

The purpose is to finance the construction and repair of automobile roads throughout Germany. Dr. Schacht, head of the Helens Bank will decide the time and terms of this issue. N.B.C Vx COUKT ISI1II Viscount Ishli, one or the foremost statesmen of present-day Japan, left America today, sailing for England, He is Japan1s chief delegate to the World Economic Conference, Before he left I heard the distinguished nobleman from the land of Nippon state that the of war between Japan and-the United States is ridiculously absurd. H@ also defended his country^ recent campaign against the Chinese. He spoke in the highest praise of President Roosevelt. Ina B-toPee* - He said Haw 'ha uaniired—away-gs-mefflory of a grea-t-P-rGsidont .who Gorobined the rayo qualitioc of ponotre.ting intellcTCt-4itetfb^w€biHft pymnathy-. A»d--then •he---added-iJtetete---n0iTeeam taking av ay w±t;h mo s&ueh—the—eaia^-BMamoBy of another of—groe-t—Presi-dents-;4*" He implied that he and the other heads of the Japanese government regard boycott (that is, boycott such as the Chinese against commerce with Japan) as an act of economic war. And then he suggested "that the Kellogg Peace Pact should outlaw treaty breaking and economic aggression as an instrument of national policy^ just as it outlaws the employment of force — YXSCOUHT ISHII - 2 military aggression.” That, in a nutshell, seemed to be his defense of all that Japan has done in the Orient of late, Nearly a thousand distinguished Americans, and Japanese who reside in New York, said farewell to Viscount Ishii at a great banquet at the Waldorf HereTs a bit of comfort for American School children. Mr. Toshi Go, a representative of the Manchurian Railways in America, told me at the dinner to Viscount Ishii, that when he was in school, instead of memorizing an alphabet of twenty-six letters as youngsters do in all English-speaking countries, he had to learn an alphabet that included about forty thousand different characters^ Then, as encouragement, in case you are thinking of going toJapan, he explained that since then Japanese has been simplified.and you can learn enough for ordinary ? t conversational purposes if you only memorize a vocabulary of about four thousand characters. L.T 1 L MOTHER A poignant epi snde is reported fr rn Sen Jose, California, bjawfowT--V'g&fr woman v/hooe twenty yerr old son had been sway from home months,^hoard tm-x if^had been wounded.

Well, this woman wrapped up iaxx* her things and some » provisions, and with a fifty pound pack on her back, walked over two hundred miles into San Jose. & At night? she slept by the roadside and when she got hungry she cooked her own meals in the open air. She made those two hundred miles in eight days. Which is some hiking — it would be a pretty good army that could march two hundred miles in eight days. When she reached Can Jose, she went to the police station and inquired for hor son only to learn that he had been more than wounded. He had been killed. In fact, he was already buried, Y.hen she arrived thejpolioe took up a collection, bought lowers for hi r, and took h- r out to the cemetery where she *v**) keeps a lone watch over the remains of her boy. N.W.C. to live I've just been reading an unusual book and I think the title will arouse your curiosity. It is called "Time to Live." It Is written by Gove Hambidge and tells how he cut loose from his desk in a Wev York skyscraper, moved to the country, got a few acres of land on a hillside and there found time to live and happiness in doing it. There are some stout ideas in this book. You should read it. You'll find it good for what ails you, no matter what that happens to be. Years ago Arnold Bennett wrote a little monograph called "How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day." Well Gove Hambidge has worked out the problem of his life by working just five hours a day. The other nineteen of the twenty-four he uses sleeping and for what he calls adventures in leisure. I seldom turn book reviewer. But I couldn't resist it in this case, and now the clock here tells me it's time for me to try an adventure in leisure myself, so, so long until tomorrow.
