STORM The violence of sto™ at sea tonight is pictured by radio dispatches from a ship in mid-ocean. She's a commonplace, drab, smokey British freighter - the TWEEDBANK. She sailed from the Cape Verdj^ Islands, off the west coast of Africa - bound for Boston. Today, five hundred miles east of the Virginia Capes, the TWEEDBANK was caught in the mighty blast of the tempest. A tremendous wave broke upon her and swept two sailors overboard - lost in the boiling turmoil of the sea. Then the skipper was lost. Captain Mackenzie, a victim of the storm. And the radio Just picture a typical freighter. Aft you*ll see the superstructure of the bridge. Forward, maybe about mid-ships — the radio shack. Imagine the seas breaking over the deck so wildly and incessantly that communication between the radio shack and the bridge is cut off. The wireless operator can't beat his way through the cataracts of ^ =rash swept overboard. Sounding out distress signals bie-»» marooned in the radio shack. That's tonight's storm picture of an imperilled operator - was marooned. ini help on t>e rev ! p: ?i - £ chip .at see, inr help, Ir.tr.v ; “t-v . ———n z ---.’ m tfios a n t_ —oceaii 5 c v an-e^s ♦ This tine six h- --- riles rest of Cepe letterss, Ar.otrer British freighter in tne ieel.. s: tie gele r-iippec by the wind, beater by tne rares. lere Its s rese ;f tie erg ire rocr, tie shit leaking, i'ie ; engine rror flcoiitg- - riile tte vireless crackles tfeose tell-tale distress sngn^ls.

EDISOM Mow about the new Assistant Secretary of the Wavy, He takes a post that is not the most important in the government - but one often dignified by distinguished names. Pres t dentf s distant cousin, Henry L. Roosevelt, last winter. Now the new name - Edison, which for more than one generation of mechanism, electricity, applied science, invention, man Dnited States fleet, warships, the might of mechanism on the sea. Secretary of the Wavy - Charles Edison,, the son of wizard? ^iOB 28 V ^Edison, who dominated the creation of electric lights, the phonograph, motion pictures,and a whole -series of other marvels that make th^modern world. £ ’’Like father, like sonn, is an old adage* noopapdinB be we should now find the scientific A. inclinations of an Edison brought to the navy. Edison the raised his son inventor. ixxxBxaa .to be a scientist, an engineer, an inventor. Roosevelt, for example - Theodore noPS»vGrX4 and Franklyn D And the job has been vacant since the death of the of Americans has stood as the v*ry sign and symbol of the era controlled power. That seems to harmonise with the ntaaafc^ r 11 i Today, President Roosevelt appointed as Assistant ■HRP 41 EDISON - £ Young Charlie v.ent to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — all of which would seem to build up the obvious and the expected, the oal- twir^fer-of- today' s Assistant Secretary of /V the Navy Edison. It was, however, an entertaining case - "Tinlike A ~ father, unlike son." Young Charlie Edison, upon graduating from Massachusetts Tech, walked far away from his fathers footsteps, in the opposite direction from science, invention, and machine age industry, he went to live in Greenwich Village, this at a time back in Nineteen Thirteen, when the Village stood V _ art, Bohemian life, futuristic painting, A ^ free verse, and ultra-modern music. .Charlie Edison himself went in for verse. Be wrote poetry, rhythms and rhymes, imageries and decorations in.^cric > He was Charles Edison, A the Village poet.

EDISON - 5 r,s~o£ the Bltga, valtga school" ef modeiMlamr —An .Guido and Charles Edison made Greenwich Village history with that garret on Washington Square. 2 ^ this seems far removed from the United States fleet.' 3£et we 3noc find Charlie Edison*s path leading logically dJ! to the Navy Department, In time he^ succeed«fF his father*s position in large corporations. He'became President of the A Thomas A. Edison industries. His Greenwich Village days had given him a taste for liberal ideas^ and these led him to y sympathize when the New Deal came along. He joined the governing board of the N.E.A. After that he was New Jersey State Director of the National Emergency Council. Qji'lj® He*s an enthusiast for fishing, which may have recommended him to the fisherman President. Moreover, it*s quite in harmony for the former Greenwich Village poet to have a love for the sea, an abiding pleasure in *■» broad oceans and the ships that sail thern^ a quality for the Navy Department. EDISON - 4 So what do we find today in the story of the ’’unlike father, unlike son?" During the World War, Thomas A. Edison, the wlz ^rd of invention, was Chairman of the Navil Consulting T*Assistant Secretary of the Navy, A L4t Board, Today, his son b* t\ LABOR In Washington today a burly man with a shock of wine colored hair, spoke as follows: ”1 hope", said he, "that Hr. Green will eat or drink something that will give him the courage to see this thing through to its logical conclusion." The speaicer was John L. Lewis, head of the C.I.O. group of insurgent miners which is fighting President Green and the American Federation of Labor. The indications are today that Lewis is still hopeful that peace may be arranged on terms that he can accept, and that the expulsion of the C.I.O. unions from the A.F. of L, will be called off. He hopes that President Green will eat something or*, dr ink something that will change his mind. The odd thing is that this Lewis statement reached the A.F. of L. president just as he was sitting down at a dining room table in a hotel in Tampa, Florida. Before he had eaten anything or drunk anything, he said^- "Thatrs the same old stuff." It isn^t indicated whether the meal time edibles and beverages have made him change his mind. In any case, the Tampa Convention keeps moving toward LABOR - £ what seems to be the probable conclusion - that the expulsion of the Lewis unions will be ratified and made final. Still, today, eight resolutions were offered in favor of the insurgents, one A.F* of L, union after another calling upon the Federation to bring them back into .the fold. On the other hand, the question has gone to the Resolutions Committee, which is xnown to 1: ’ ' 1 ' J claims the Committee is packed against him, John Frey, head of the A powerful metal trades, calls upon the A.F, of L. not only to expel the insurgents for good, but calls upon the Federation to boycott all products turned out by workmen of the insurgent groups — such as the coal produced by the federation of miners of which John L, Lewis is the head. Q:;" Imagine the industrial war - if the men of the A.F, of L. unions refuse to products handled by the K ten million men of the insurgent faction®. 1 AUTOS Here1 s something with a lot of date lines — Toledo, Madison, Wisconsin^ Trenton, Hew Jersey| Columbus, Ohio; Boston; Pniladelphia; New York, That only begins the list-of &ate lines for the same story.

And — aeroplanes raining bombs on houses and streets of the battle area* The Left Wing command admits that the situation is more serious for the defense# They're planning a mass counter attack* They say they have seventy thousand men in Madrid to hurl at the rebel lines* A tale of mads death and destruction, the insame folly of mankind -- pointed mockingly with the storming of the shrine of philospphy. si I ( I alliance There's nothing new about this next -- the idea of an alliance between Germany and Japan, both ready to fall on Soviet Russia In case of troubleo The only novelty tonight is the official character given the report. It*s the Soviet Foreign Office that speaks out and says — Germany has formed an alliance with Japan.agethe Ocrvier^ Official Moscow declares that the Soviet news agency, Tass, has learned positively that Berlin and Tokyo have signed an agreement for j-oint military action In case either gets into a war with Russia* What does Berlin say about this? ftenies it* However, the denial given out today does not emanate from the Nazi Government. It's unofficial. The world at large will be Inclined to surmise that a German-Japanese alliance is such a.logical thing that it's either in existence or will be, now or soon -- probably now. PEACE PffIZF In Berlin a pctLe, ailing little man long in a ^azi concentra­ tion camp has been released. He*s in a hospital now. In Oslo, Norway, two prominent dignitaries have resigned from the Nobel Prize Committee; stepping out because of the question of awarding the Nobel Peace Prize this year. Both these events, in Germany and in Norway, are parts of i) the same story, features of an International agitation. Carl voa Ossietsky is a world number one militant pacifist. He was in trouble in Germany before the Nazis were ever heard of. During the World War he served the whole stretch, the entire four years, in the armies of the Kaiser. He came out of the ordeal of battle a relentless enemy of war. Under the early Socialist govern­ ment of Germany, he was arrested and fined for attacking the first revival of militarism. In Nineteen Twenty-Nine, PEACE PRIZE - 2 several years before Hitler took control, he was sentenced to 3ail for an expose of the wray Germany was rearming* Therefore, he y a veteran ai-144yan% pacifist, used to being in trouble, Mihen Hitler became master of Germany, and the g creed, he rei refused to leave Germany — so his inevitable destiny was a new militarism became the reigning creed, he refused to flee. Hazi concentration camp. And he has been a prisoner ever since - until now. Recently, he has been in a hospital, ill. They say the Nazis donft want him to die on their hands, because of the impression it would create. So today we hear that the implacable pacifist has been released from custody. For several years there has been a constant agitation to have von Ossietzky, .the Nazi prisoner, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Anti-Nazi elements all over Europe have been active in pushing the propaganda. Two years ago his name was entered, but Arthur Henderson of Great Britain got the prize. Last year his name was entered again, but this time no prize was awarded. Now once more^ - the third time,^the report is yfc that von Ossietzky is likely to get it. This of course PEACE PRIZE - 3 looks like b . s.i_ap at Nazi Germany. ?&<» the Norv/egian Foreign Minister and the former Prime Minister of Norway, have^resigned from the Nobel Committee. 'Fher-aye k cxtvsl !»l protesting, it is said. against the award. They^feel'that their official positions in the Norwegian government make it inexpedient for them to take part in an action that might arouse the anger of Germany. MORGAN £ ^■erPont' Morgan, the elder, had a oharaeteristic way with reporters. That colossus of finance was gruff and growly with newspaper men who questioned him. He scowled frequently. He was stoney, formidable, forbidding. And he wouldn't tell them anything* The money titan.naa nothing to A sayy Bfr was taciturn, uncommunicative^---Krvt^ t Landing in New York today from Europe he confronted the ship news-men with a smile. He was genial. He puffed placidly on his pipe. He beamed on them. But* did he tell them any­ thing? Did the head of the House of Morgan make a statement to the press with opinions and observations, facts and fancies? You can judge from the interview. "I'm not going to say anything about anything," was his first statement."""^One reporter asked:- "I thought you might like to say something about the election results. J. Pierpont Morgan, the younger, is different* "You didn't think any such thing," replied J. P. Morgan* And the interview continued question and MORGAN -2 answer JZcQis.~tUjU : Would you like to see the budget balanced?,T ?
