MUHDBK The murder of N0rman Redwood, leader of the Sandhogs'Union, started by being purely a local affair. But today it sprouted ramifications all over the country. New Jersey is because it was in that state that Redwood was assassinated. In fact, the county in which the crime was committed has appropriated twenty-five thousand dollars for an investigation. for those New York gunmen coming over here and doing their dirty work on our soil.V^New York passes the buck .on by declaring that this murder has all the earmarks of having been done by gangsters from Chicago^ We haven’t heard from Chicago so far. conducting the investigation, intimated today that he had small hopes of breaking the case.

Rosoff’s lawyer said: ’’He won*t come to New Jersey because they have a way IBfeesa* of getting people over there to answer questions and then throwing them in jail.” All of which made the Bergen County prosecutor exceeding­ ly angry. As for the one-time penniless immigrant, now millionaire Rosoff, he says: "Red was a grand fellow.

You that Mr* Fry, as President of the manufacturing company that bears his name, is the latest victim of a sit-down strike. About a hundred of his employees the other day adopted the Flint formula. They squatted on their office chairs, stools, or any other appliance that could be sat upon, and handed in the usual ultimatum. wHere we sit," they said, "until you recognise our union, raise our wages, give us fg'g'gm'fr'g promotion by seniority, job security, and so forth, and so on.” heard "All right," said Employer Fry, "that goes for me too, I've got a chair myself and I can^fc out-sit any^te ve aorgra "Wash! ng As Mr. Fry puts it, although he is the President of the company, he is also one of its employees and one of the important ones.

We-ve heard plenty about the fight over the Supreme Court But vre haven't begun to hear the half of it. The real battle is to begin March ninth. On that day there’ll be public hear- ings before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. And that committee has already reported favorably on the bill offered by Senator Sumners of Texas which would enable justices of the Supreme Court of retire”at the age of seventy on full pay, m if they wish. The vote on this bill in the Judiciary Committee was thirteen to five. The Senators opposing it were King, Burke, Pitman, Borah and Steiwer. Now the bill will be brought to the floor of the Senate probably tomorrow and there will undoubtedly be some pretty hot debating on the subject* Some believe that the real purpose of the Sumners Act is a tactical stroke to forestall President RooseveltTs more drastic proposal for reorganizing the courts. J-he idea is that if Congress passes this measure, Congress can say to White House: "We’ve gone this far in reforming the court, and thatTs about as far as we think we ought to go. i 11 has'in when the Committee So the real fireworks will begin wue holds its public hearings about the President's plan.

OGDEN lor the second time in all too short a period we «* learn of the passing of a great newspaper man, the great editor of a great paper. The New York Times Is receiving condolences from all over the world for the loss of Rollo Ogden. v/as eighty-one years old and died harness. In fact if he hadn't been so greedy for work he might be still alive. A little more than a week ago he contracted a severe cold and refused to stay at home. The consequence was that the cold developed into pneumonia. For forty—six years Hollo Ogden had been one of the foremost names in the American newspaper world. In 1893 he was Editor-in- Chief of the New York Evening Post. In 19S0 he became Associate Editor of the Times, and two years later the Editor-in- Chief. The editorial pages of the New York Times, as every reaaer knows, have reflected the scholarship, the profound grasp of j fund of wisdom of Hollo affairs the world over, and the sawus Ogden. VIENNA A young riot broke out in Vienna today. Baron Constantin von Neurath, Hitler »s Foreign Minister, arrived in txie Austi ^an capital for a visit to Premier Schuschni^® and President Miklas. It was to be expected that the Nazis in Vienna should seize the opportunity for a demonstration, A ^ government had a strong force of police lining the streets- But the Nazis, singing the Horst h^Fssel anthem and shouting "Heil Hitler,n burst through the lines, and hand-to-hand fighting started. Numbers of them were yg-g arrested, but it isn,t known yet whether there were any casualties. when they made this i ± kh demonstration. Baron von Neurath The rioters wer< is visiting Vienna on an exceedingly delicate mission, trying to ifferences between Austria and the Reich. So the disorder they precipitated started negotiations off in a atmosphere. SPAIN Life In Spain is just one victory after another. First one side reports an overwhelming triumph, then the other announces it has inflicted, a crushing defeat upon the enemy. And at the end of it all, neither party is overwhelmed, neither is crushed. ^Today it was the government's turn to win the battle of communiques. "We have reopened the road from Madrid to Valencia and driven the Rebels back over the Jarama River, sixteen miles | southeast of Madridi" Important if trueI The Madrid-Valencia I road is the vital artery of the government's armies, their sole j means of access to the sea Government headquarters At Valencia claimed still another victory. Their northwest army, they say, has penetrated the rebel lines at Oviedo, fought its way into the heart of the city and captured a big rebeli munitions factory. At any rate from all accounts there's house-to-house fighting in Oviedo at this moment. ETHIOPIA "The iron hand for rebels," that's Mussolini's answer to the bombing of the Viceroy of Ethiopia. The Dpce today sent explicit Instructions to the officers of Italy's new colony. "The firing squad for everybody who had anything to do with the attempt to assassinate General Graziani." And the Fascist Dictator's orders go even further than that. All Ethiopian chiefs who continue to make trouble are to be promptly shot. It appears that the colonial pffleers of Italy did not wait for those drastic Instructions from Rome. They captured a number of Ethiopian leaders in a pitched battle south of Addis Ababa.Every one of them was killed on the spot, through the conquered territory, divisions of Fascist soldiers 'i^^^toj^mopping up, suppressing the^utburst with £ mailed DUTCHMAN Once upon a time, the legend tells us, there was a romantic figure^nown as the "Flying Dutchman." You know all about -c There's a ^sitor on our shores today known as the "Diving Dutchman." He travels the Seven Seas, not in a ghostly three masted brig, but in a submarine. He came here all the way from his native ±sia Holland under seas. In fact, he has out-done Jules Vernefs hero. Captain.Nemo, who went twenty thousand leagues under the sea. The ''Diving Dutchman" has travelled more than a hundred thousand miles in that fashion.

On his last traverse of the Atlantic, he paid no fewer than fifty visits to Davey Jones's locker. From those he learned a curious thing. The bed of the ocean is not constant, un­ changeable. It's all the time buckling and erupting. And that, he says, is what causes earthquakes in North America and Europe. Then, out in the middle of the Atlantic, there's a huge ridge, an under-water mountain.

I 1 WASHINGTON You might suppose that there was nothing new that could possibly be said about the Virginia country gentleman whose birthday we've been celebrating today. You'd be surprised. And George Washington would be surprised if he could come to life and find his country celebrating his anniversary on February Twenty-Second. He would have said: "You're air"wS??,I was born \ A on February the Eleventh." He would not have been telling a lie, either. On the calendar that George himself used in Seventeen Thirty-Two, the date of his birth was February the Eleventh. But the most amusing anecdote concerning our first President, has to do with the first official attempt of the country jus he fathered to honor him. A hundred and five years ago, (TVyn Congress decided there should be a statue So they appro­ priated five thousand dollars and commissioned a then famous sculptor, Horatio Greenough, to do the He completed the work art of art at his studio in Florence,/ The consequence was that whenj: it arrived in the capital a large expense bill for transportation came with it.

But they I If I j || I WASHINGTON - 2 marble paid the bill and the ^paaKiaii^i likeness of George Washington, twenty tons of it, was set up in front of the eapitol. On the appointed day, with much ceremony, all the big-wigs of the government and the surrounding country assembled to see that marble % masterpiece unveiled. The string was drawn, the i' curtain fell. Also the faces of the assembled Congressmen when they perceived a huge marble effigy of an almost perfectly nude gentleman. The eminent scuptor, Greenough, had decided that neither the civilian costume of a country gentleman nor the full regimentals of a of the Continental Army, was sculpturally artistic. So he had done George arrayed in nothing but a laurel wreath - which was on his head - and a curious little skirt like that of a ballet dancer, which sadly needed W emi I 1 * ft a * n n\ a*i ironing, about the generalTs equatorial line.
