By EDWARD W. PICKARD • Weatera New (paper Union. J. L. Lewis fX/ILUAM GREEN, president 0 f the A, F. of L., who had Just been calling on President Roosevelt at Hyde Park, N. Y., told the news papermen that the prospects for peace between the warring factions in the fed eration were better and that those par ticipating in the con troversy were be coming "more tem perate." However, that same evening John L. Lewis, the dynamic leader of the Committee for Industrial Organization, rather dashed the aforesaid prospects for peace. In Washington he laid down, as the only basis for restoration of peace in the ranks of organized labor, a program consisting of these two propositions: 1. Revocation by the executive council of the American Federa tion of Labor of the order sus pend # g ten C. I. O. unions on charges of insurrection. 2. Isolation of certain mass pro duction industries which would be organized strictly on Lewis’ "one big union” theory. It had been stated that David Dubinaky, head of one of the sus pended unions, had submitted a compromise peace proposal, but Lewie told the correspondents that be knew at ne change In feeling be* between the battling factions, that he had made no move for Kagan's communication made the direct* charges that German air planes reached the Spanish rebels from Germany, that poison gas reached the rebels from Italy, and that Portugal permitted its frontier to be used by the rebels. Spanish Fascists pushed their lines so closely around Madrid that they called on the government to surrender the capital immediately and thus save it from a destructive bombardment. An airplane fleet showered the city with circulars tell ing the citizens that further resist ance was useless. One of the most threatening of General Franco’s advances was directed at Aran- juez, whose capture would cut off Madrid’s food supply from the Med iterranean. The government claimed that an army of loyalist miners had fought its way to the center of Oviedo against the desperate resistance of the rebel defenders. Gen. Francisco Franco, chief of the insurgents, decreed a Fascist dictatorship and created a "junta of state” which will govern subject to his will. In his first statement of policy, Franco assured workers they would be "protected against the ills of capitalism and that steps would be taken to regulate favor able working hours ” f Turns) STATES w jtrnnB JUDGB C ft.

This will save 10,000,000 marks a year, spent abroad for cork. * German wood, according to au thorities, is cheaper, better, resists breakage, acid, alkali, and elimi nates cork taste. One question is, will the wooden cork swell up at the lower end suf ficiently to overcome the pressure of gas in a champagne bottle? At Jonesville, Va., Rev. T.

When John G. W i n a n t resigned J. G. Winant from the social security board, his letter to the President was a strong pro - New Deal document. It was printed by the press bureau of the social security board and franked to a large mailing list, and Senator Vandenberg asked Mr. Winant whether he thought that was a legit imate use of the franking privilege. Mr. Winant replied promptly that, lest there be any question of the propriety of the matter, he had paid the mailing costs. This atti tude was warmly commended by Senator Vandenberg, as it must be by all good citizens.

About the same time the State department was studying a proposi tion, made to it and to Japan by Great Britain, for an extension of the treaty pledge of the three nations not to build new fortifications or naval bases in certain of their Paci fic possessions. In Tokio it was said the government might agree to this provided certain changes were made giving Japan “fairer" treatment in the light of an altered international situation. A CCUSED of complicity in the ** plot against Dictator Stalin for which 16 prominent Russians were executed in August, Karl Radek, brilliant journalist, is under arrest and in danger of losing his life. He disappeared just after the execu tions of the others, but was caught a few days ago. In his last article, published in the official newspaper Izvestia, Ra dek confessed his unfaithfulness to the Communist party, but defended himself with a vitriolic attack on Trotzky and claimed he had “ex piated" his sins by foiling Trotzky’s attempted sabotage of the Stalin re gime.

DRINCE ER r BERG of ERNST VON STARHEM- Austria ousted from the Fascist Heimwehr or home guard Maj. Emil Fey, once his trusted lieutenant, and thereby stirred up quite a muss in Vienna. It was reported that Premier Mus solini of Italy had taken a hand in the quarrel by demanding that Chancellor Schuschnigg give com plete control of the heimwehr to Von Starhemberg. The prince declared in a public document that Fey’s conduct at the time of the assassination of Chancel lor Dollfuss never was satisfactorily explained. The major, enraged, challenged the prince to a duel, but dueling is illegal in Austria.

The immedi ate cause >of death was pneumonia, but Mr. Straus had been in ill health for some time, this being the reason for his re tirement from the ambassadorship. Graduating from straos Harvard in 1893, Mr. »e . 8 aus g traus began work as a bank clerk. In 1896 he ob tained employment with R. H. Macy & Co., big New York department store, and by 1919 was its presi dent, holding that position until he was given the Paris post by Presi dent Roosevelt in 1933. He was a Democrat and was a member of the board of overseers of Harvard and of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. He maintained a country estate at Mount Kisco, N. Y., as well as a city apartment.

James B. Weaver of Iowa. For he was the nominee of two new par ties which, at two different periods in our history, capitalized on the unrest of the farm vote and in one case he definitely contributed to the overthrow of the party in pow er. Weaver was first the standard- bearer tot the Greenbackers, a patty which came into existence in 1868 because of the dissatisfaction of the farmers with the financial policies of Grant’s administration. They were inflationists who de manded that a large amount of paper money be issued without re gard to specie payment. They re ceived their name from the fact that legal-tender notes were print ed in green and called greenbacks. In the campaign of 1876 they nom inated Peter Cooper, the New York philanthropist, but he polled only 80,000 popular votes and did not receive a single electoral vote. In the congressional elections of 1878 the Greenbackers cast a mil lion votes and the Republicans in power looked apprehensively to the presidential campaign of 1880, especially when the Greenbackers nominated a man from the agri cultural West. But their fears were groundless, for the Green backers could muster only e little more than 300,000 v<fies and. al though Garfield won over Hancock by less than 10.000 popular votes, he got 214 electoral votes to hts opponent's 136. Twelve years later the Republi cans had much mw* to wony over when Weaver bobbed up again, this time as the nominee of the Popu list or People's party which de clared lor free silver, publtr amw erehip af monopolies, postal sav ings hanks and an income tax la tha state and rongrsaatonal tier - ttoas af I MO they carried the leg ialeturss af Kanaae and Nebraska, sleeted nme members af congress end (erred M others.

Again in 1X32 Smith was the candidate of the Liberty party and again he was indorsed by another group, this time by the Land Reformers. In neither case did Smith or his par ty figure very prominently in the election. In 1876 there was another one of the name in the presidential race. He was Green Clay Smith, a na tive of Kentucky, i. veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, rising to the rank of brigadier-general in the Union army before resigning to take his seat in congress to which he had been elected while in the field. Re-elected to congress, he resigned to become the second ter ritorial governor of Montana. Aft er three years of service in the West he resigned to enter the min istry of the Baptist church in Washington. Soon afterwards he was chosen as the first presidenti:;! nominee of the modern Prohibi tion party. Just as this “dry" Smith failed to win in 1876, so did a "wet" Smith fail U) win half a century lat er. For Alfred E. Smith, the Dem ocratic candidate in 1928, suffered the fate of all his predecessors— defeat. C Wraitrn Nawapmptr Uniaa. Ein mann, ein wort. (O.) An honest man's word is his bond. Festina lente. (L.)
