K)_c V-^ H£AUPQ£ -------- ^ 0 ?. CA In Ecuador, the government seems to have put down^the revolt that broke out last night - suppressed it at least for the time being. It was one of those melodramatic South American affairs, with all sorts of liveliness and color. TheyTve been having a rib-snorting election in Ecuador, and the voting has been going on for a couple of days, with the returns coming in from widely scattered sections. As the figures piled up, they showed presidential candidate Dr. Carlos A* Arroyo Del Rio running well ahead of the field. In second place was former President Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra - and ne didn!t like second place. He charged fraud, claimed he was being counted out, and plenty of his partisans agreed with him. A number of these partisans were officers of the Ecuadorian air force,and amid wild m * scenes of electioneering excitement last night Candidate Ibarra led a group of aviators in revolt. The insurrection never had a chance, apparently. a m'-T’r‘h infantry aga-inst the aviation The Government was ready to maren imanury afe it-h-in the flying corps itself intervened officers when a group within the laying and arrested the rebels. Former President Ibarra was made a ECUADOR - 2 prsioner, and was taken aboard a warship for safekeeping - and that led to a curious thing. When the insurgent chieftain was brought aboard under heavy guard, he was received with cheers by the crew of the ship. That was a little disturbing, so the crew was removed and another group of sailors took their place. Tonight, sporadic disturbances are still going on but the government at Quito claims to have crushed the w ould-be revolution. r i. D § /J In various^ nations today, there was^wa# news headline. wfi«« read’- naid for Finland.” Here in our own A country PresidentHwuhir? i?t put the matter up to Congress. !te suggestfi^ that Lririi leaders get together on a non-partisan basis and lay plans to help the small republic. Finalcial help*, is V i^. • fTTTTf^r^nrrti i TMIWI h IT b (^ne proposal tg» lend Finland sixty million dollars. From the Senate, tips Republican re^ly was returned to the White H0use - saying the President^shou^d taise the initiative. Senator McNary of Oregon put it this way, "The President, said he, "ought to send specific legislation to Congress.tf lie «m*9. , -T-i.d^l ity then Cofifl* T ttroic •UWP 'rfwppuiftfc--^toU^ti^jirinunx&tr^ ^ t r c^te in a position to know "The Department of State, yu-L" 9 a and^BS the avenues of approach to the what Finland^ needs are, ancpna whole problem." So the question Of what to do for Finland seems to be tossed back and forth between the White House and the _capitol. FINiiAHD - 2 In Paris, a committee of deputies today okayed what is called a comprehensive program for the aid of Finland. The plans are drawn and now are approved - all of which would seem to mean that the hard-fighting nation of the north is scheduled to get effective supplies of war materials from France. France figures too in the news about Italian munitions for Finland. Paris reports that Mussolini1s government is routing help through France. There have been reports that Italian munitions shipped via Germany, have been held up by the Nazi Government - Hitler playing the game of his partner Stalin. Rome is said to have protested to Berlin about this. T^day im—rirr^rt^hr Nazi spokesmen stated that no protest A /\ of the sort was possible - since Germany has the sole right to say what goods should pass across its territory. But the Paris report insists that there has been a &*** disagree®nt between Mussolini and Hitler on the score of help for Finland, ana that the Italian armament which had been routed through Germo-ny, was brought back to Italy and now is being re-routed through France. Italian supplies figure likewise in word from Spam FINLAND - 3 t:.t' report that Fjtxxs the Franco Government will send to Finland large quantities of armament v.hich the legions of Mussolini le:,vt in Spain, after helping Franco tw win the Spanish Civil War. Ore rather sensational report is that Mussolini is trying to get txxoji&k sea and naval bases in the Black Sea - get them from Turkey. The Black Sea is an exceedingly vulnerable spot for the Soviets, and might be used with telling effect if there should be an international move against Stalin. Turkey controls the^e»±y< 3 »* 4 ^?¥S^ straits and also the southern coast of the Black Sea. If Turkey would let Mussolini* s navy and air force establish war bases on that coast, it could be very awkward for the Soviets. AVIATION Today a^ain there was heavy gunfire around the east coast of England - anti-aircraft fire. Once more the sky squadrons of Germany came over^r time after time. London reports they v.ere beaten off - after plenty of shooting. And once more we are told the Nazi warplanes did not drop any bombs - though they attacked some ships, as they did yesterday. Here is a familiar headlire — Little America, hemember how we used to get news from that place dur previous expeditions by Admiral Byrd into Antarctic? Today the wireless flash is that a new Byrd expedition has reached * the R shore of the Antarctic Continent, the Bay of Whales, y landing at Little America. Thatfs the dispatch the ^avy gets. The two Byrd ships had a rough time, breaking through the heavy drift ice they encountered. It seems to be unusually icy down there on the South Polar continent^ But they reached their goal and have now begun to work for further exploration on the southern continent, claiming great areas for the united States, 9 frozen areas said to be rich in mineral jlu ! wealth DEV,'EY The Nevv Jex*sey Republicans got together on one point - A though that doesn’t mean the G.Q.P. factions have made peace. The one point harmony concerns the candidacy of Thomas E. Dewey, The Jersey RePU^f i-cans feot together today and decided to support Dewey for the Republican nomination, voted to send a delegation pledged to him to the Republican National Convention. Aside from that, the factions are still fighting - the group led by former Governor Harold Hoffman, who is out for the nomination for Governor, and the rnftrfe faction* led by Arthur T. Vanderbilt. So far as the nomination for Governor is concerned, they are still battling, but they’re agreed about the G.O.P. choice for the presidency -^Dewey. LABOR BOARD Tiere v/as some sensational testimony today before the House Committee which is investigating the National Labor Relations Board. It Rfcanx made a charge against Hoi er Martin.President of one faction of the united Automobile Workers, the A. F. of L. faction. The statement was that Martin took money from officials ^ the Ford Company. An affidavit to thj effect was made by Harry A. Elder who used to be an official of the Auto Workers Union. He quotes Martin as saying that he got money from Ford officials and without it would not have been able to run the Union. And the affidavit adds this bit. The statement that Father Coughlin gets the support of Henry Ford. Here are the words non a couple of occasions,^ dcolniu^-s- -©f "Martin told me that Henry Ford is behind Father Coughlin." MINE Last reports of the mine disaster at Bartley^ Ifcest Virginia state that thirty-nine bodies have been recovered thus far — from the deep luwi black pit where the aeadly explosion occurred. Ninety-one missing, and there is hardly any hope that a single one has survived. Reports of the rescue parties indicate that the explosion was so terrific that the miners must have been killed instantly. The blastthat steel rails were twisted like paper, and a coal loading machine weighing as much as three tons blown for a distance of sixty feet HQ Sr1 ITAL Toddjr brings an end to the strike of doctors at Sydenham Hospital in New Ygrk. It was all caused by a dispute between a group of the hospital physicians andt he new president of the institution - Gustavus A. Rogers, a lawyer who took charge when he made a fat donation. The medicoes claimed that they were submitted to dictation by a kind of hospital manager who didn’t know the difference between myocarditis and the hives. So there was what the lawyer-president called - na medical mutiny.n Mutiny is a strong word, mates, and you’d hardly expect such a violent terms to be applied to such scientific gentlemen as doctors. However, we are told today,in the teigtaghJcxgfxlmx height of the hospital excitement, there was an argument between two head surgeons, one b for and one against the newT management, and they say it is still undeciced exactly how Dr* Julius Jarcho got his ribs broken. He was engaged in scientific controversy with Dr. Alfred Heilman. And one story is that Dr. Heilman socked Dr. Jarcho in the ribs so hard that he busted a couple of them. Another milder version says that Dr. Heilman v,as passing Dr. Jarcho and accidentally brushed him with his elbow. It is HOSPITAL - 2 quite an elbow brush that breaks ribs. However, todcy the hospital mutiny is all over. Tne whole argument went to a vote of all the physicians on the hospital staff, and it turned out that a large majority of them are in favor of the new administration. They voted an emphatic okay for the lawyer who donated the cash and became the hospital president. POLL a ^ .\ motion picture poll Just conducted puts emphasis 1 on the new and elevated status of British filing I The magazine FILM DAILY held a straw vote among fivfr'liundred odd motion s' picture critics all over the cotintry - selecting the ten best features of the year. I First and third plades were taken by pictures produced in England. Number one - "Good-bye Mr. Chips. Number three - "Pygmalion." \ And fourth position goes to "Wuthuring Heights," which is American-produced - but its theme is ultra-British, mid-Victorian tears and sentiment of Emily Bronte 1 . GbiMlUg At Hamilton, Ontario, today, a robber was sent to prison 'Aith words of high praise# Encomium, in fact# The judge sentencing him to the hoosgow for two years, said he was a genius, spoke in rapturous terms of his talent, his gifts of mind. The only trouble being that the burglar is what they call - a nmisdirected genius." The judge, in imposing sentence, called attention to the fact that Alex Zolomy has invented a new type of explosive. In laboratory experiments he has devised a new kind of high compression motor fuel, and recently he created a new type of rifle bullet, which right now is being tested by experts of the Canadian government. They say that Zolomy’s newly invented bullet has a tremendous penetrating force and may revolutionize army rifle practice. The "misdirected" part of Zolomy’s genious is indicated by the foliating:- He pleaded guilty today to a whole string of burglaries. His mechanical gifts enabled him to break into almost any place - with special emphasis on the technological art of safe -cracking. Against him are a number of charges of GENIUS - 2 automobile theft. No car v;as safe from him. £na he^ good at counterfeiting - the kind of crime which requires a maximum of scientific skill. His record includes at least one prison escape - neither locks nor judjkjEJcxx bolts could hold the wizard of invention. When arrested, he was found to have a crime laboratory, including a fantastic stock of high e^iosives. There he experimented with new^nwy#- of njb bgryx' The judge, in giving Zolomy a two-year sentence. -Jr expressedAin terms of moral education , a chance to straighten ^ A out his brilliant talent and Jive the right direction to his misdirected genious. The judge said to Zolomy:- ^ou will spend most of your life behind prison bars if you insist in your evil career.n Then he went on to predict what he called a bright future for the convict, if, as he told him, T,you will use your skill and knowledge along the right lines.n wUINTS The question of the quintuplets at the New York World* s Fair is involved in doubt and contradiction. Mayor LaGuardia 0 announced today - they*r be there. ^Practically arranged,** said he - arranged for the five simultaneous girls to be on exhibition at New York’s extravaganza next year. And here the Mayor went into details. The quints^ being torn down. The Fair visitors will behold the quintuplet babes, instead ofnBig Joe**- as New Yorkers nicknamed the monster figure of the Communist worker, which towered so high. A lot of people will think it a good swap to have Emily, Yvonne, Marie, Cecile, AjtXMjtlai and Annette, instead of Big Joe. Soviet pavilion they’ll build a replica of the quintuplets’ home at Callander, Ontario - exactly the same. The public^uuHr see the quints, but the quintsee the public. That bit of magic would be accomplished by the use of one-way glass, tne kind you can see through from one side and not from the other. Of course it would be a serious mistake if they were accidentally to reverse the glass, so that the public could not see the quints CUIUTS - 2 fchile the quints could see the public. But I suppose they’ll be careful about that. Admissions will be charged - the proceeds to go to the Canadian hed Cross for War Relief. It all sounds promising, the only trouble being that nothing comes from Canada except denials. iMagmcVniiiKyxpTWiatKMfcx Judge Valin, Chairman of the Board of Guardians, today expressed his view in two words - nemphatically opposed.^ Dr. Dafoe, the quints’ physician, is also - the idea of showing the Famous Five in New York. A What about Papa Dionne? He has been said to be in favor of the project. Today, however, in commenting upon the statement made by liayor LaGuardia, Papa Dionne replies with these woras:- nNothing whatever has been arranged, and probably nothing will be.” There seems to be a bit ol confusion, and maybe the World’s Fair won’t get the quints after all. In that case, the^ might decide to gfJSifep!* back/®S^ ^ -X. 4
