Knickerbocker points out that Dr. Hugenberg has been remarkably unlucky. Hitler sent him to London as head of the German delegation to the World Economic Conference. When he arrived in London Dr. Hugenberg issued a statement demanding the return of German^olonles and suggesting that the other nations back Germany up as a jhr -floviet* Union^ Thereupon the Hitler Cabinet promptly recalled hugenberg. when he got home he tried to issue a statement to :ounteraet the rumors that he was not in favor with the Gcr&ii Government i rat the German press was not allowed to print this statement.

Accounts vsry considerably q£> ■tbs position of Uncle Saints delagation# From one side you hear that they are sitting pretty. Republican observers, on the other hand, claim that they are suffering a ridiculous humiliation. Whichever side you prefer to accept, ^he latest from the other side of the water is that President Roosevelt is reported as beinj ready to stabilize Uncle Sam,s dollar in two or three weeks.^ It was thought that this might be a process taking months, but Raymond Gram Swing cables the New York Evening Post that it may be achieved much sooner. Another correspondent of the Post declares that in spite of arti; criticisms and snags most of the United States delegation are elated over the progress that has been made at the Economic Conference, This is not raanufacture^L optimism for publication, the evening Post, but actual opinion of the delegates reflected in private conversation. ^As for the dollar* the exact date that the President will choose for its stabilization and the rate at which it will be peggec entirely in the President’s hands.j He will not do anything about are .

This is interpreted as meaning that the actual direction of the negotiations of Uncle Sam’s delegation in London Is transferred Into the hands of \ Dr. Holey as direct spokesman for the PresidentThe official \ announcement issued in Washington is that Dr. Holey will be liaison officer between the President and the Delegation. A caustic picture of the drama in London is conveyed by a cable to the Evening News of Newark, New Jersey, by Arthur J. ^inno11, editor of that paper, who is representing it in person at the conference.

On the other hand, the New Xork Evor4n,r post, a Republican nanor, orints information from Paris that French statesmen have acquired in London an Increased respect for Pr^side^t Roosevelt.

Uncle Samcontinuing his efforts to avoid a fight between the unions and Federal coordinator of railroads, had another meeting today with the Committee of Railway executives, after which he announced that progress had been achieved. The government is urging the managers to postpone the proposed wage reduction until May, 1934.

But after all America is a nation of villages, towns, and country homes. frQKt W- the oountayy viiingg ii-fe- Iw-tTput of alii At this particular moment I am thinking of a village called Jefferson, in northeastern OhiOj It wa«. founded in 1805 when Thomas Jefferson was President. It hasn't grown much, but from that village have come nine members of Congress and two United States Senators. Had President Johnson been impeached -- he came within one vote of it -- Senator Benjamin Wade of Jefferson, Obio, would have become President of the United States. Henry Singleton has just established a Blue Sunoco Station in that village, adjoining the home of Congressman Josiah GIddings who served In Congress for twenty yearand wrote the first platform of the National Republican Party. William Deans Howell3,the great American novelist, lived in the village of Jefferson, and worked as a reporter and tjpJLx* on his father's newspaper^ A When John Brown'was hung at Charleston, five of his associates , iex who escaped from the battle of Harper's Ferry, SUM OIL - HISTQl\IC £ came to the village of Jefferson an^ were there protected by a secret society known as ’'Th0 Black Strings.” All this information has been sent to me by +he Editor of the ”Jeff'aT'^on Gazette.11 nEPrAL Tne ast-onisliinj victory of the vrets in the prohibition repeal elections of Iowa, Connecticut, and ^ew B-ampshi^e, seems in no way to have dampened the enthusiasm of the dry leaders.

The bridegroom was the Prince of Asturias, eldest son of ^ing Alfonso and heir to the Spanish throne if there ex- were a^Spanish throne. His^Royal Highness kicked ikK a hole in the traditions of the Hapsburg and Bourbon families by marrying a commoner. She *s a very beautiful commoner, and so they say, an heiress to boot. Her name is or rather was, Senorita San Pedro Ocejo^f- £/%-&ing Alfonso and Queen Victoria did not grace the ceremony which took place in Lausanne, Switzerland» byprpsggp^. At the same time it is reported fchtcfc th‘.;y raised no vehement objections. B< fore the weddin His ex-Royal Highness signed a document renouncing his rights to the throne which no longer exists. N.B.C. FAT LADY An amusing episode occurred, truduy in one of the fifty-eight elevators in the new RCA building in New York* These elevators, as you may have read somewhere, travel at rate the z ^ k of twelve hundred feet a-minute. They are controlled automatically by a device best described as a safety electric eye, an eye based on the miracle- of the photo-electric cell. These eyes are so fashioned that' in case of any obstruction the elevator is stopped instantly. On the occasion in question one of the elevators which was going all the wyy up to the seventieth Story of the RCA building, did stop^lBsStaftfrcfanhtoiv. It was discovered that an exceedJingly stout lady passenger had bulged slightly across the threshhold of the elevator. This caused an eclipse of the watchful electric eye, which immediately took control of the situation and blocked the elevator from moving. Until the fat lady could^ be^gSfc^back within bounds the elevator A. A was stationary. FAT LADY - 2 The photo-electric cell has long seemed to me one of the most miraculous things that modern science has invented MITCHELL The trial of Charles E. Mitchell, former chairman of the Board of the National City Bank of ^ew iork, is coming to an end* Mr. Mitchell, it may be recalled, is accused by Uncle Sam of having committed a felony in uiraj failiiP'to pay income taxes of some eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars in 1929 and 1930. If he is convicted. Banker Mitchell Is liable to a fine of twenty thousand dollars and imprisonment up to ten years. Well, the case went to the jury shortly after noon today, and the verdict may be made known at any moment. RESCUE ^he Canadian Government staged an interesting show and staged it in Mew Xork City. The occasion was the presentation of gifts to the Commanding officer and several seamen of the French Line steamer de Grasse, this in commemoration of a gallant performance last December when the crew of the foundered Canadian steamer Clemencia was saved off the Grand Banks, The presentation was made by the Canadian Minister of Marine and a member of the Upper House of the Quebec legislature. They presented Captain Thoreux of the de Grasse, Fourth Officer naruon/ appreciation of the Canadian government ‘anion♦ *>-***■ a petty officer and five seamen with tokens of the A. L.T. Here*s an item that almost complies with the classic man-bites-dog definition of news. In point of fact it has a decided similarity. in Evanston,a fashionable suburb of Chicago, on the North Shore, inhabitants have been considerably annoyed because of the constant and vehement barking of the dogs in the city pound. Investigation disclosed the interesting fact that the dogs barked so constantly, because a fifteen-year-old boy stood outside the pound and barked at them. The dogs naturally became excited and replied. Evidently the officer in charge of the city pound in Evanston is a matron. She became indignant because the boy excited her and caused the lad*s arrest. A- A Now the entire population of Evanston is split into two camps on the question of whether It is against the law for boys to bark at dogs. n 'jLk ^ Vtv V N.B.C.
