But this time it»s no blast, but a plot. The police are looking for a top-ranking C.I.O. leader, who they claim conspired to blow up, steel mills, railroad tracks, power plants, and the confessed - to have told the details of the dynamite plot. And I don’t blame him for saying though it’s hard to A Work in the Cambria plant was virtually halted by And the word at Youngstown, Ohio, too is - dynamite homes of non-strikers Three of the lieutenants, of this strike leader have been arrested, and they are reported to have STRIKE - 3 Tills is a. high explosive ItincL of news — in more ways than one. It's dynamite in a figurative sense as well as a literal. Public opinion can explode as well as planted blasts - and public opinion is likely to regard nothing quite so intolerable in this strike war as dynamiting and dynamiters. There’s a report already that the repercussions of the dynamiting may impel the President to speak out and take a stand on the subject of labor war violence. The Congressional lax investigation in Washington continues to ring changes on the theme of - personal holding companies, nig names are made public in a long list, prom­ inent people who put large shares of their wealth into holding companies, and thereby saved on their income tax, saved bundles of money. Today we have the mention of the mighty Delaware name of DuPont. One member of the family saved forty thousand dollars in taxes by means of a holding company. And, today*s list also includes the wife of John J. Rascob, who used to be Democratic National Chairman. And there's Alfred P. Sloan, Chairman of General Motors, and Henry H. Doherty of Cities Service - creator of the Presidential birthday ball idea. The testimony indicated that this latter magnate of utilites, who is a director in sixty-three companies, saved a hundred and six ty thousand dollars in one year by means of four holding com­ panies . Yet, with all these revelations, there's no hint that this particular manner of lightening taxation is illegal. It is quite in accord with the stature, so, the proper point of ; i I ■ attack tvould seem to be the v;ay the tax law was framed 1 crime The horrible subject of maniac murder has two date lines today. California and Slew lork, the two opposite coasts. Out in the far west, it's a hideous story, the pitiful murder of three little girls. They went on a hunt for rabbits, and their bodies were found in a ravine. Tonight, a manhunt is on for the fiend, arrests being made on suspicion. The public is in a fury, the anger of a crowd, and there’s peril of lynch­ ing whenever there is an arrest. In the east, the case of Kobert Irwin, the sculptor, ana triple killer, was formally entered in court today. A grand ,ury indicted him on three counts of murder — one tor eacn of his three victims, the beautiful model, her mother, and the English roomer. We’ve known that the former inmate of lunatic asylums would try to escape the chair by a plea of insauity. And - It was made official today by oarnuel Leibovitz, the lawyer defended a hundred and twenty murder clients, and never a one of them has suffered the extreme penalty. r ■siw-* ^ 1 I I cai^E - a Irwin called on Leibowitz to defend him at the trail, and to­ day Leibowitz accepted the commission. bald hes- "In my opinion, this man is as craay as a bedbug .n And thus, the eminent crime lawyer will try to %dd another murder case to his hundred and twenty, with never an accused killer going to the chair. He111 try to make it a hundred and twenty-one. EARH a RT Amelia Earhart in darA flew Guinea tonight'. 6he landed on that isle of Eouth Rea barbarism today after a twelve hundred mile flight across mountainous island and pearly seas from Darwin, Australia. Amelia now faces the most perilous part of her trip across the vast Pacific^) From ilew Guinea she'll next fly to Howland Island, twenty-five hundred and fifty miles away, a speck of land on that boundless ocean. From there it's nine­ teen hundred miles to Honolulu. It was this Pacific part of the trip that ocat Amelia on her first attempt to fly around the world zigzagging the Equator. At that time she was going the other way, the Pacific stretch first. Her plane cracked up in a take-oif from Hawaii. Wow, on her west to east attempt, she has made the dizzy circle all the way to Hew Guinea, and only the hardes part remains. FRANCE In rarls today, the new Premier appeared before the Chamber of Deputies, and asked the law-makers for a vote of coniidence. Premier Cahutemps' demand was put in rather com­ plicated fashion. He asked the deputies not to ask him any questions - tnat is, not to call upon him to explain what he is going to do. -ae requested them to postpone that sort of interrogation until they have passed on his demand for wide and comprehensive powers. He wants almost dictatorial authority to deal with the financial crisis that right now has France in a near panic. In other words - don't ask me what I'm going to do, until you've given me the power of doing it. Yes, that sounds like a vote of confidence, plenty of confidence. And the Chamber of Deputies voted - yes, by a rousing majority of three hundred and ninety-three to a hundred and forty two. Then later in the day the Chamber took another vote and vy a narrow margin granted those semi-dictatorial powers tothe Premier. Something drastic is needed in France, when the financial trouble is so acute that they've had to FRANCE - E the Paris fatock Exchange to avoid a panic, and have ahd to take the Franc off the gold standard - at least temporarily. Finance Minister Bonnet revealed today that the French Govern- merit has only a million dollars on hand to meet the bills. One report is that the Chau temps government will ask for the aid of the United Etates and Great Britain calling upon Uncle Earn and John Bull to lend a hand in saving French finance Washington and London for some time past have been working to­ gether with Paris in bolstering u p the Franc, but now more assistance is needed. international In London, the Non-Intervention Committee today - until Friday. In the meantime, the representatives of the twenty-seven nations arc to consult, their governments about what to do - about what attitude to take in the diplomatic clash of^Great Britain and France on one side and Germany and Italy on the other. There1s nothing sensational In,this present tangle, nothing like the bombardment of cities or the torpedoing of ships But it's plenty dangerous - with one side saying "Yes'1 most diplomatically, and the other replying ,,No,, with equal diplomacy. Germany and Italy withdrew from the Mon-Intervention patrol, /] after^® reported attempt to torpedo the German cruiser LEIPZIG A by the Spanish Left Wingers. Thereupon Britain and France proposed that they would take over the part of the patrol from Which Germany and Italy had withdrawn - that is, the patrol of Jmittee today. They won't patrol for tiU . they won't let the British and French do^W ^ rurE.A.MATiu^L leaning - they’ll patrol all right, but on their own. That would be virtually a disguised blockade of the bpanish Left wingers’. There's the danger. The diplomacy now boils down to the naked idea of active German and Italian intervention. That's what has Europe worried - the war peril becoming grave, not because of any explosive incident, but merely hardening in the round-about manoeuvres of statecraft. duchess It's fair and fitting to find that the raost famous bride is also the best dressed woman of the year. For who is prouder of her dress than a bridefTLbody except the dowager, the deb or your Aunt Eliza. The nuptials ajhthe Chateau ifc Cande were of world renown, and it would be deplorable if it were said of the bride - she doesn11 know how to dress. Especially, after all of those elaborations of wardrobe sent to her from Paris - those hundred different costumes, with the trousseau of forty-eight ensembles. Even the president of the Ladies Aid could be well dressed with all that. ____ So today the news from Paris tells us poll of the A •f— leading Parisian sylists puts the Duchess ofWindsor at the head A of the list of the ten best dressed women Vft the world. And that1 s fair and fitting, especially the dresses - they frtr. With this honor, is the Duchess blue? Yes, she is - all blue. That's the color of her eyes, and her favorite jewel is the azure turquoise, and her dresses are blue. They are all in severe simple taste, except one.«*«~^«“ The front of this blue creation is decorated with a big red lobster DUCHESS - 2 Symbolizing what? The Duke - is said to dresses of his Duchess, be very proud of the Third in the list of the best dressed ten comes another Duchess - Her Grace of Kent. The second prize goes to her East Indian Highness, Princess Karam of Kapurthala. A fabulous principality of^Hindustan is Kapurthala, but hitherto it has been famous12for pigeon}sb5oS^ubies, hoards of ^ bediamonded turbans and swprd-hilts encrusted with emeralds,— — reteyrr* than for the cocktail gowns and bea(th frocks of the Paris A costumers . Thatei hAtpri econd place award to thAAPrineess of Hinduitran is all the more surprising, for until two years ago she had never worn European clothes, had garbed herself only in the native sari of India. Whenever we encounter the theme of beautiful woman beauti­ fully dressed, we prosy males inevitably think of - the expense, an unhappy thought. So for the benefit of you men folks I 1 recite the painful tidings. Each of the ten best dressed is estimated to have paid for this year’s wardrobe anywhere from ten thousand dollars to a hundred thousand. The bill for all ten l I r I il DOCHfibb - 3 comes to a total of about a half’ a million bucks, now would you like to have on the ten for your wife, and foot the bills? al smith Today, In Ireland, at Dublin, a man landed - bound on a sentimental quest. He Is looking for his old family home. His name is Alfred E. Smith. Well, A1 Smith is the very type of the Irish-American, and today he's an example of the Irish-American who journeys back to the old country,.to the place hia ancestors came from, looking for members of his family, seeking reminiscences of his parents and grandparents, visiting the old family home. There*s a world of Gaelic mood and emotion in all this, the happiness, the disappointment. The Irish-American finds his Irish relatives, gazes about in the old home his folks came from, and listens to stories about his parents and grandparents - mighty anecdotes perhaps about his Uncle Mike, who could whip any man in the county, Or perhaps he finds nothing at all, no trace of family or old home. The family scattered over the wide world, the way the Irish go wandering. The old home - moid|d away, torn down, forgotten. Today, I was listening to Irish sentimentalities like T^vvn Kpnnedv • John related how these told by my N.B.C. colleague. al smith - 2 some little while ago George M. Cohan, legended Irishman, of the stage, paid a visit to the old country. And before he sailed he was asked a favor by Postmaster General Jim Farley. He too w A proudly a Hibernian. Jim asked George to go .to the place where Jim's family came from in the south of Ireland,amS look up the old home, talk to members of the Farley family still there. George M. Cohan obeyed the injunction religiously. And on his return to America reported to the Postmaster General - told him he had gone to the old hometown, had talked to everybody there, from one end of the village to the other. And nobody, not even the oldest inhabitant, could remember of anybody named Farley ever living in those parts. Melancholy, rather a come-down, for the great James, J. especially when some deplorable wag, said. It only went to primp from the south of Ireland that Jim Farley's ancestors didn t come l at all, they were north Irish - Orangemen... Postmaster Jin. was ready to stop the mall service 4 anybody who said that. would Al Smith have? He Well, what sort of^ spoke about that in Dublin today. r,l am not very confident a L d ^ITH - s finding my relatives,H he said. "It’s more than a hundred years since my grandparents lefty County Westmeath and I may find no more than the ruins of .my old family home.'* Good luck to you All We hope you find the peat fires burning so that no Republican can say A1 Smith's ancestors were Crangemenl So Good Luck, al. And SO LO^G UNTIL TOMORROW.
