REPORTS from Peiping are true, the Japanese have perpetrated another outrage on the helpless Chinese in Manchukuo. The story is that Chinese farmers in the southeastern ‘part of the puppet state refused to give up their arms on demand of the Japanese troops and that as a result army planes bombed twenty farm villages, killing a thousand persons, injuring hundreds of others and destroying all the homes.

Toledo’s battle centered about the plant of the Electric Auto-Lite company in which 1,800 non-striking employees had been besieged for fifteen hours by a great mob of riotous strikers and frequently fired upon by snipers on the roofs\of nearby buildings. The windows of the plant were all broken by stones) and_ torches thrown through them started many fires. The police used tear gas-bombs but were roughly handled by the mobs, so six companies of state troops were called out and they, marching with fixed bayonets, scattered the strikers and released the imprisoned employees, Later the strikers and their friends gathered again and fought furiously with the troops, showering them with bricks and paving stones. Dozens of soldiers were injured and finally the exasperated guardsmen fired on the mobs, two rioters being killed and many wounded. Tear gas and the more powerful “knockout” gas were freely used by both sides. Charles P. Taft, son of the late President, was sent from Washington to Toledo as special mediator for the national labor board of the NIA. ENATOR ROBINSON, majority leader, beard rumors that some senators were planning a filibuster for the purpose of killing the administration’s tariff bargaining bill. He said he was ready to squelch any such scheme by prolonging the daily sessions of the senate. “If that is the intention we will meet at 10 a. m, and stay until 8 p. m.” RESIDENT ROOSEVELT told lors i ; ) ot M1 4 conapts 5,000 bachelors in Los Angeles were } ; oS ragga gress what Kind of silver bill he . °° ssional and state elections, facida the nederidis of Snleriag wate PERCOLATED COFFEE THAT SATISFIES _ » a oe8 ’ was willing. to accept-—the comprolabor camps or supporting themselves ' tb we'll come here at ¥ a. m. and stay till the 5”.

' The senate had approved a bill fixing the maximum total) RFC five-year loans at $250,000,000 and limiting the amount the twelve federal] reserve banks could advance to $280,000,000. . But the house discarded the senate provisions and inserted its own, which inerease the RFC total to $300,000,000 and cut the reserve bank maximum to The house must thenythe “Midway,” to President Roosevelt, has been made public, and in the main it was just what was expected from the Chicago lawyer and his colleagues. It analyzed eight of the more important codes and found that seven of them foster monopolies, help big business and do a lot toward putting small concerns” out of business. These seven codes are: Electrical manufacturing, footwear division, rubber manufacturing, motion pictures, retail solid fuel, steel, ice, and bituminous coal. The report found no monopolistic features in the cleaners and dyers’ code. Administrator Johnson and his chief counsel, Donald R. Richberg, had been given the report previously for the purpose of composing a reply to it. This they did, to the extent of 50,000 vigorous words. They answered all the Darrow charges and asserted the report was ‘'superficial,” “intemperate,” “inaccurate,” “prejudiced,” “one sided,” “inconsistent,” “nonsensical,” “insupportable,” “false,” and “anarchistic.” Darrow came back with a caustic answer that drew further violent Jangkuage from the NRA chiefs, and the the Department of Justice is out to smear all members of the preceding administration or whether A. Y. Dalrymple, the special assistant attorney general who made the charges, is “Just an irresponsible falsifier in charge of the wooden pistol section of the Department of Justice.” Mr. Dalrymple read to the committee letters from C. W. Broom and Lee Shannon, who told the Justice department assistant that persons whom they declined to name had informed them of the meeting at Hurley’s home, where prominent Republicans were alleged to have planned how they could hold on to patronage jebs despite the change in administration. Dalrymple denied that he had made the charges himself, Patrick J. . Hurley . Sopusveue exposition, A Century of Progress, was reopened for another summer with a big military parade and much ceremony. The fair has \been reconstructed and redecorated and is a bigger and better exposition this year than the one that called forth so. much enthusiastic praise in 1933. The best of the former exhibits and features have been retained, but many new ones have been added and everything has been brought up to date. There are 12 new foreign villages for the edification and amusement of visitors; the Chicago and Detroit symphony orchestras will give long series of fine concerts; the scientific and manufacturers’ exhibits have been vastly improved and enlarged; bettered in various ways, has been moved to .the lake front of the island; and the entire exposition is resplendent with new colors and new lighting. mise explained in this column recently —and such a measure was promptly introduced by Senator: Key Pittman, Some members of the silver bloc were far from satisfied with the bill, but there was every indication that it would be passed before the end of the . session, the senators from the silver states accepting it in lieu of anything better from their point of view, If they sought to defeat it the probable result would be a long fight and no silver bill whatever. The bill really leaves to the discretion of the Presi-: dent the making of silver a part of that country under a military dictatorship. King Boris either sponsored the movement or quietly yielded to it. He promptly signed about thirty decrees that were prepared in advance, dissolving the parliament and putting the new pe y government in power, ‘with Kimon GueroKing Boris uieft as premier. Members of the former government and several other persons were arrested. Not only in Sofia, the capital, but throughout the country the military leaders were in control. ' The program of the new government was set forth in a long manifesto calling for the creation of a disciplined, orderly state. The principal alterations in the structure of the government include a sharply reduced membership in the legislature, which . is to be under firm control of the administration, a reduction .{n number of the country’s political subtory and Bolivia has none, Good news came from Rio de Janeiro, where representatives of Peru and Colombia reached a peaceful settlement of the differences between their nations over the jungle border village of Leticia and thus dissipated a war cloud which has hung over ‘South America for twenty months. frok more than thirty years the radical La Folletteites of Wisconsin have been operating as Republicans and under that label have competed, often with success, Py Fj for control of the Z state. Now this is to be changed. With the aid of delegates from labor and farm organizations, the followers of Senator La Follette, assembled in convention in Fond du Lac, formed a new. party and named it the Progressive party. sete No statement of prinSenator
ciples was made, all @ Follette attempts to bring one forth being squelched. : Senator La Follette kept in the background until questions of organization were settled. With the party name decided, the senator came into the picture with a prepared speech. The period called Republican prosperity, he said, had culminated in the collapse of the country’s economic life, “The disaster of 1929 and the acute distress and suffering of the American people that followed were made possible by the betrayal of the people’s trust. by men in both parties, controlled through their party organizations by privileged interests.” A few hours later a state central committee was formed, with former Gov.: Philip La Follette as its chairman, and in Milwaukee it began mapping out the campaign for the autumn PPROXIMATELY $8,000,000 damage was done by a conflagration in Chicago that was described as the worst that city had experienced since the great fire of 1871. It started in the Union Stock Yards, familiar to all visitors to the city, and within a few hours had swept over an area equivalent to about eight ‘city blocks. The flames also leaped across Halsted street, destroying many shops and res.idences. Happily only one human life was lost, though the injured, mostly firemen, numbered some 1,100. As the stock pens were comparatively empty stood. unchanged, have been attacked by Finance Director Rolland Vandegrift. The state, buying for cash and in big lots, is paying 20 per cent more for commodities generally than in May, 1933, and Vandegrift estimated that the average citizen, buying at the -corner grocery, must be paying 30 .-to 40 per cent more for his food and living necessities. Misunderstanding which originated when Rev. Dillon W. Throckmorten signed a formal protest against Santa Slara anti-picketing ordinances has resulted in his resignation as pastor of the Santa Clara Federated Protestant church. He was accused of radical activities in connection with the strike of cherry pickers a year ago. Initiative petitions to make ive by that body have been placed in circulation in each county of the state. The movement is being sponsored by the California Teachers Association. Pasadena recently. The Legionnaire advocated the elimination of all radical professors from United States educational institutions, private and public. The state department. of public health has defined whisky and gin so “that from now on, Californians will be able to buy by the labels and know what they are getting. The definitions were similar to those laid down by the federal government when the new regulations on_ bottling liquors were made. The alcohol content, age of the spirits, and like information are now to be placed onthe bottles, officials of the public health board said. Although framers of the new San Diego county chartér intended to effect a substantial saving by consolidating all constables under direction of the sheriff, cost to taxpayers for salaries alone was jumped by the supervisors from $87,590 this year to $104,880 for the next fiscal year. One of the items of increased cost is creation of a new job, that of head constable at $200 a month. What his duties will be are indefinite. In terms in which there can be no doubt of the attitude of students of the Redondo Beach high school in upholding the ideals of ‘the American government, student leaders recently repulsed characteristic advances of an asserted Communistic organization designed to foment strife in the school. The student organization informed Communists they did not care to join the Red organization or to have anything to do with it. As the result of the order of the Los Angeles county charities department recently denying further aid to single men without dependents, more than without county help. California gasoline taxes for April exceeded the April collections of the last three years, according to report made by the state board’ af equalizationy A total of $3,643,836 was the amount collected for April, which was slightly less than the preceding month’s total but greatly increased over April, 1932.
