Lowell Thomas 1 Broadcast es - lkce page— 1 The' evening before Thanksgiving is certainly the wrong time to talk about 3 a new way to diet and keep thin. But 4 this diet hint comes from no less a 5' person than the Prince of Wales. 6| According to the International News 7 Service, the Prince will be the guest of 8 honor tomorrow at the Thanksgiving Day s dinner of the American Society in London, 10 and they're wondering whether the Prince 11 will break his diet long enough to eat 12 some turkey and dressing and pumpkin pie. 13i You see. His Royal Highness the Prince 14 of Wales is afraid of getting fat. So 10 he limits himself strictly to the lo following d i e 11 a ot caviar and 17 then two lamb chops and green vegetables. ld It might be interesting to try that 19 diet--! mean it might if youTve got the 20 1 price of the caviar. 21 | 22 1 23 : 25 TTTANKSC t IVING From Washington comes word that President and Mrs. Hoover will srend their Thanksgiving in the same traditione' way that most other American families do, - around the family fireside. The weather man says that a lot of you will have snow tomorrow and that it*s time to shake the moth balls out of your mittens end ear muffs. Well, here's hoping that you have all somehow managed to get hold of a turkey and that it's a whopper. Up at New Haven xx quite a few of the jobless are going to have something to cheer them up. Yale University is getting ready to srend $200,000, just to help ease the unemployment situation. Most of the money will be spent for the development of new playing fields end will go into wages.

Employees of the Darville textile mills are on strike, and they have been rioting with the non-union workers employed by the mills. A crowd collected a lot of bricks and marched down to a hotel and to several houses where the non-union people were living. Then they started a bombardment, and the ^olice arrested thirty-five of the rioters. gasoline A million gallons of gasoline ere knocking around on the ocean tonight. According to the International News Service, a "barge loaded with gasoline was "being towed by a tug off the coast of Newfoundland, The waves were high, and the lowline broke. The sea was too rough to get another ixa tow line over. So the tug went back to port and that million gallons of gasoline? Well, it*s still bouncing around some­ where in that sixty mile gale. uniforms The Unites states army has changed the color of its uniform. According to the Evening World, the good old olive drab is going to be discarded. Henceforth Khaki is to be the standard color. They’re changing the style of uniform too. New roll collars v/ith lapels, so they won’t spueeze anybody’s Adam's ap-le any longer. The sad part is that they didn’t get around to this back in 1917. That’s our evening style note for the men. Now, with the ladies, their acjc styles change so fast you need a dictionary to heir understand them. And that's exactly what a New York style authority has just brought out. According to the New York Telegram this style dictionary is so complete that even a man can learn the difference between a bertha end a gampe, or between a basque and a bustle.

It told about a man’s religious beliefs -- and that man is Einstein. Wellf what kind of religious beliefs would this man have, this men who has been sounding out the universe with that strange theory of relativity? Some have accused him of being an atheist. Of course, if is known that he is a Jew and a. loyal member of the European Jewish community in v/hich he lives. The article I refer to was in an advance cony of the new Literary Digest, the Digest that will be out tomorrow. Well, Einstein*s religious views certainly are picturesque and striking. The Digest quotes the New York Times in giving Einstein’s ideas on the subject of the world’s religions. The great scientist goes on to say that there is a special religious feeling which comes to exceptionally gifted individuals and to those who have studied the universe. He calls it a ’’cosmic religious sense”. In 2 3| 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 £iN£I£!ti - 2.

Ihanksgjving Day rirf-glrt- be an appropr iate time At o reflect for a while on this Universe, and its Creator* earthquake Last night while I wes reeding off the evening’s news 8 thin strip of ticker tape wes handed to me. on it was typed a late disnatch from the United Press to the effect that there was another earthquake in Jaoan, but that was all the ticker said. There were no details. Earthquake tremors occur in Japan every day and frequently oftener than that. While you a^e having tea with one of your Japanese friends there will be a rumbling like a lot of heavy trucks going by. No one nays any attention to it. But today all of the oress associations tell us that it was more than an ordinary earthquake. More damage was done than in any other quake since that terrible one back in 1923 when the cities of Tokyo and Yokoheme were alxost entirely destroyed, and when more then 100,000 peorle were killed. 250 people were killed, many hurt, end some hundreds of buildings leveled to the ground. The property loss is put at $100,000,000. -snc-tp building left standing in the There is not e single Duiiang KAKTHQUAKE - 2 town of Mishima. Refugees souring into Tokyo from the devesteted region say there are great cracks three feet wide extending for inilea. Some of them go right across the famous Tokaido highway between the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto. A few thousand miles farther south, on the island of Java, the volcano Merari is rumbling and grumbling. The Associated Press cables from the Dutch East Indies that a stream of molten lave is ^ouring from the crater and running in a red hot river down into the valley. GERMANY Let's make a non-stop flight to Eurone. A dictatorship is threatened in Germany. According to the International News Service, the German Economic Party has announced that it will not support the government any longer. To meet this, it is expected that President Von Kindenberg end Chancellor Bruening will issue a drecre that will amount to nothing less then a dictatorship. MUSSOLINI Rumors have been coming from Rome about that always interesting question -- what would hapoen if something should ha-ren to Mussolini? Dame Rumor says that Mussolini is giving a lot of ti.ought to this. He is said to be figuring out just who is qualified to be his successor. The New York Evening t^ost rrints a long article on the subject, and states that the most likely candidate is Count Ciano, whose son married Mussolini *s daughter. That would make the succession a sort of family affair. Count Ciano is a nawal man and a World War hero. He comnanded some of those spectacular and daring raids of the Italians against the Austrian fleet, which were amon the most remarkable episodes of the War, He is described as a burly sailor, a simnle, jovial soul and not at all subtle. But, according to the New York Evening Post, there is another strong man who would like to be Mussolini’s successor. He is Italo Baiba, Minister of Aeronautics, General Balbo, is anything hut the simple seilormen Is type. On the contrary subtle and clever. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 H 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MUSSfiLlMl - 2. Page _____ Meanwhile, Mussolini has made sm irrlb^re^-t4=ffg appointment. He has appointed Edmondo Rossini to the Fascist Grand Council. The interesting thing about it is that this same Rossini used to be an agitator here in the United States. RUSSIA in a Moscow courtroom today a man read what was virtually his own sentence of death. He is blond end intelligent, and he read a long psner in an even voice. He is Professor Ramzin, one of those eight engineers and professors who ere on trial for their lives before a bolshevik judge. He made a full confession charging that he and his eom^enions had conspired with French and British high officials to overthrow the soviet government. He confirmed the charge which the soviet officials have made - that there is a gigantic international riot against the communists. He even read his statement into a microphone, so that ell Russia might he.r. Meanwhile, outside, a huge crowd yelled and clnmored for the execution of the men on trial. PTJSFIA A late dieiie tch fro, the United Press states that the French government is Pretesting against those charges of fn international conspiracy. The French «mt to know whet the Soviets mean by all that sensational talk. The French embesspdor to Moscow has been instructed to demand an official ex-lrnation oi the accusations against the French government. Anti-Bolshevik Russians in Paris say that the confessions made at the Moscow trial are all lies, end that they must have been extorted by means of torture. In Washington too, Bolshevik affairs are being looked into. A former Russian Communist agent told the Congres iona 1 Communist investigating Committee that 400 liberty motors had been secretly taken out of the United States and sent across to the soviet authorities in Russia. According to the Associated Press, the -motors were sold by the U. S.
