Wa&hinipton, Jan. 31.—Stanley Reed of Kentucky swore today to “do equal right to the poor and to the rich” and then took his seat on the supreme court as (President Roosevelt’s second appointee. The brief formal ceremony over, the high tribunal proceeded immedi ately with its work—the reading of ©pinions and the* hearing of argu ments. The former solicitor general took two separate oaths before he took his place on the bench at the extreme left of Chief Justice Hughes. The chiefsjusrtice administered the consti tutional oath in the robing room. Then, at 12 noon, as -the justices Payne, Turner To Pay With Lives Jury Returns Verdict of First Degree Murder.

To be sure, th,e atmosphere of Washington is al ways political, but the* present com bination of circumstances gives a po litical tinge to everything that is--.sa.ikb and done, in and out of congress. And there is very much concern about war, and the possibility of the Unit ed States being drawn into the situ ation in the Far Ea.st by officials who know about the real situation. Politically, Washington is concern ed immediately with the 1938 con gressional elections, a.s well as more remotely with the presidential elec- *d that ^ 1940. Many of the recent pub- ilic utterances-(»f men in high places I have no other' real purpose than to make it easier to re-elect present administration supporters and fill some of the seats in both house.s with sympathetic legislators. —' Brg'Had HusineMs Blamed For Slump The administration and its support ers are .sj*nsitive to public reactions, and the present business and indus trial <lei)re.ssion has tended to shake the confidence of some voters in the administration’s policies. At first the idea was to deny that there was" a depr^'ssion. The tactics finally adopt ed w<Te ancient and time-tried strat egy. It js an axiom of both war and politics that the best defense is in vigorous attack.\So the admission was made that then* was a <iepression, but that it had b(H*n brought on by un sound business ami financial policies which n<*(*ded corri*ctiun and adjust- m<*nt. That woubl shift the newspaper headlines fnun tjjie depressiiin itself to the causes behind thi* slump. Mr. Jurkson’s Political Pnwperts A part of th(*^ political jilay in Wuslvingtori- is the evident i*ffort .of Mr. |{(»oseV(‘lt to promote Mr. .lackson into tin* jfov(*rnorship of New York at the eteefion next NovemlK*r. Postmaster (!i*neral Farl(*y has lM*t*n induced to drop his suspect<*d ambi tion for that high offici*, to clear the way for Mr. Jackson. Man.v folk here believi* that the presid(*nt is ipiietly grooming Mr. .lackson foir the presidency in 19-J(). Possibly Mr, Jackson .shares that be lief. Th(* “out” about that tlu'ory is that the next governor of New York will be (*lect»sl for a four-year term instead of two yt*ars, s«) that if h<* w»*n* to run for president in 1910 he Would have to resign in the mhldle of his term, which w'ould confuse the prt*sident iai campaign. Sonic shrewil Washington onlook ers >H*e in this apparent a«iviK*acy of •lackson as his succe.ssor a move by the president to keep Asheville, N. C., Jan. 29. — A jury convicted Bill Payne and Wash Tur ner, North Carolina outlaws, of first degree murder tonight for the ally ing of Qeorge Penn, a highway pa trolman, last August 22. The verdict, which automatically carried death sentences for the des peradoes,, was returned at 10:14 p.m. with power to call persons engaged in any particular business or industry together and ‘help them work out a schedule of production and sales, codes of labor treatment and fair practices, on the basis of conditions within that industry. The department o-f commerce is .said to be behind the plan and so are many who were strong for NRA. This new plan, how ever, is an effort to get down to earth and be practical. The jury received the case at 7:15, but took an hour for supper. A large crowd was in the court room as the prisoners, closely guarded by patrolmen, were brought in a few minutes before the jury. W. B. Cathey, the jury foreman, re turned separate verdicts as to each prisoner. ■Payne, the first to hear the verdict, and Turner were calm as they looked upon the jury. Turner’s former wife and his sister- in-law cried openly. Judge Alley thanked the jury for its services and retired to his cham ber to set the execution date. “ The trial began Tuesday and the state concluded its testimony yester day^ Ita, star witness was college- trained Sheriff Laurence E. ’ Brown, who testified Payne and 'Turner ad mitted killing the patrenman, 25-year- old George Penn, and re-enacted the crime for officers.

Wallace from getting too far out in front. Everybody here believes that the stHTetary of agriculture- is defi nitely a candidate. Hut the pre.sident, these gossip.s say, does not want to be nmneuverjHl into the position of backing Mr. Wallace. Hence his tacit appmval of Jackson as presidential timber. War Preparations Go On The d(‘f(>at in congress of the Lud low resolution for a constitutional amendment for a popular referendum before this country ever goes to war, was largely influenci*d by the presi dent’s op|H>sition to it. And the presi dent, in turn, was undoubtedly influ- enc«Hl by facts and conditions not gen erally understood 'in circles where th(*y are known. Outwardly the sec retary of state must maintain a calm and peaceful attitude and tone. In- Ridel's' gossip is that among discreet government men and his intimates he talks in a way to indicate that the tiine i.s nearing when the United State.s must come to grips with Japan and other aggressor nations. Some say that congressianal pres sure on the president and the atate de|>artment preventwl a more aggrt'S- sive reply to Japan’s apology for the sinking of the U. S. gunboat “Panay.” The president was told emphatically by his party leaders that congress would not back him up in a reply to Japan as aggressive as that first drafted. Diplomats who know are saying that the attitude of congress is taken in Japan as proof that the United States is bluffing and will do noth ing no matter how many of our war ships are sunk by Japanese bombs. • Meantime, secret army and navy movements are under way in the Pa cific, the army and navy budget has been increased, and there are q;^any other indications that the administra- For Every Purpose!
