FIGHT ON COHEN
SEEN AS REVOLT
Fletcher Charges Demo
cratic Party in Georgia
Broken by Discontent.
By the Associated Press.
Troubles in Georgia over the status
of a Democratic national committee
man assumed Nation-wide proportions
today as charges and denials flew that
efforts to oust Maj. John S. Cohen
was “rebellion” against the New Deal.
While Republicans perused a state
ment from Chairman Fletcher of their
national committee last night that the
Democratic party in the Southern
State had broken with the adminis
tration, Cohen himself enjoyed the
assurance from Chairman Farley of
the national committee that the At
lanta editor would continue to repre
sent Georgia.
Denial that resolutions criticizing
Some administration policies, adopted
Thursday by the Georgia Democratic
Convention, in any sense constituted a
revolt likewise was made by Clark
Howell, sr., another Atlanta editor and
chairman of President Roosevelt’s
Aviation Commission. The convention
also approved a resolution calling for
Cohen's removal from the National
Committee.
"With * • * outside disaffection,”
Fletcher said, “it is not surprising that
the Democratic party in Georgia has
definitely broken with the adminis
tration and rebelled against the New
Deal's spending orgy and its bureau
cratic dictation. The action of the
party in Georgia is but the first of
many similar disappointments coming
to the New Deal.”
Farley, however, dismissed the Geor
gian convention action as “irregular
and invalid.” and told Cohen in an
open letter that “you will continue to
represent Georgia on the committee.”

IL DUCE’S REPORT

crowd gave him a tremendous cheer.
II Duce refuted the attacks which
the Yugoslavian press had made on
the valor of the Italian Army.
On the subject of Austria, he said:
“We have defended and we will de
fend the independence of the Austrian
Republic. This independence has been
consecrated by the blood of the late
Chancellor Dollfuss. A little man
with a great heart.”
Italy, he said, has no ulterior inten
tions regarding Austria.
Assails Traducers.
“Those who say Italy is aggressive
and wants a protectorate over Aus
tria,” said Mussolini, “either know
nothing of what they are talking
about or lie knowingly."
He referred to Germany only in
passing because he limited his speech,
as he said, only to European countries
touching on Italy. However, he de
clared the development of Europe
without Germany was inconceivable.
He derided the Disarmament Con
ference, saying that relations among
European nations had become better
now that the Disarmament Conference
had failed.
He declared: “The tenacious Citizen
Henderson (Arthur Henderson, presi
dent of the Disarmament Conference)
will not succeed in any manner in
resurrecting the cadaver of the Dis
armament Conference, which is pro
foundly buried under a weight of can
non and warships.”
Pledges Workers’ Safety.
Referring to his internal policy,
Mussolini reiterated what he said in
Bari with reference to a higher social
justice. By this, he said, he meant
labor would be guaranteed work,
equitable wages, liveable houses and
the possibility of bettering its situa
tion. He said the workmen have come
ever closer to the Fascist revolution.
“Controlled by the government,” he
said, “science must solve the problem
of the redistribution of wealth. It is
most paradoxical and cruel to find
misery in the midst of wealth.”
He said the twentieth century would
be the century of Fascist civilization
for Europe and America.

GROUP HOSPITALS
AIDEDBT LABOR
British Workers Back Plan
85 Per Cent, Dr. Lamb
Tells Social Council.
Approximately 85 per cent of the
working people of Great Britain con
tribute regularly to group hospitaliza
tion plans, as compared with about
15 per cent in this country. Dr. Sidney
Lamb of the Merseyside Hospital.
Liverpool, England, told the first Fall
! meeting of the Council of Social
I Agencies yesterday at the Y. W. C. A.
j Building. Dr. Lamb is in America
i at the invitation of the American
Hospital Association.
Sanford Bates, president of the
council, presided, opening the meet
ing by calling attention to the ap
proaching Community Chest, and by
asking all who could to volunteer to
work for the campaign.
Committee Studied Problem.
Dr. Lamb, on the subject of group
hospitalization, said in part:
“In England, after the war. hos
pitalization had to be charitable, for
the most part, and the government
appointed a commission to advise and
report on the advisability of ‘volun
tary’ hospitals. That, in 1920, was
the turning point of the hospital sys
tem in England. Some £500.000 were
given toward ‘voluntary’ hospitals with
the proviso that a matching £500,000
was raised. By this method, this plan
generated self-help rather than pau
perization. Working men who were in
the plan could go into a hospital with
their heads up and pride intact.
Profession Always Generous.
“In England it has been a tradition
for medical men to donate their serv
ices. Ninety-five per cent of the work
ing population has always depended
upon the ward service of the hospitals.
In England the poor people actually
receive better hospitalization service
than the very rich. The usual rate
of pay is $15 per week to take care of
maintenance, but no charge for med
ical service.
“In the ‘voluntary’ hospital plan,
six and one-half million people in
England make an average contribution
of 5c a week. From 15 million wage
earners there is an income from this
of 15 million dollars. This represents
about 85 per cent of the employed
people. The system works much the
same as in the United States, the em
ploye signing a card which shows the
employer the amount to be forwarded
to headquarters to cover hospitaliza
tion insurance.”

Letters
State Department Keeps
President Straight on
When to Send Birth
day Greetings.
BY GENEVIEVE FORBES HERRICK.
IF YOU'RE the ordinary fallible
fellow who never can remember
the date of your wife's birthday—
until tears tell the tale—why
don’t you get yourself elected
President of the United States?
Then you’d have a birthday book, ac
curate and available, over at the State
Department.
And Charles Lee Cooke, its capable
custodian (as chief ceremonials offi
cer) ready to tip you offf in plenty of
time, that you really must send con
gratulations to King So-and-so.
No plush-bound volume, this, thick
with dust and sentimentality. But a
brisk, typewritten memorandum, kept
strictly up to the minute.
To whom does the United States
send birthday greetings? Largely, to
the countries that felicitate it on the
Fourth of July, its official birthday.
It's just the way you and I decide
whether or not to send a Christmas
present to Cousin Hattie. You know
the system.
Basically, there are two kinds of
foreign fetas rating felicitations—the
birthday of a king, the anniversary
of a republic. In a monarchy, like
Great Britain, the national holiday is
the King’s birthday. A movable feast,
since the King is a removable sov
ereign.
In a republic, like France, the
holiday is the anniversary of
national independence. A fixed
date, unless it is a country of
revolution and counter-revolution.
Following are a few1—not all, by
any means—of the dates on which Mr.
Roosevelt, his memory jogged by the
State Department, will send appro
priate congratulations:
April 29—Japan, Emperor’s birth
day.
May 25—Argentina, Independent
day.
June 3—Great Britain, King George’s
birthday.
July 14—France, anniversary of the
fall of the Bastille.
September 15—Central America, in
cluding Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala. Honduras, Nicaragua.
October 29—Turkey, anniversary of
the founding of the republic.
November 3.—Belgium, King's birth
day.
Those five Central American
countries prefer to celebrate the
anniversary of the day on which
they jointly—known then as Gua
temala—broke with Spain; instead
of commemorating, individually,
their individual independences (if
there is such a word).
These countries—and many others
—send us congratulatory cables on
the Fourth of July. 8ure, that in
cludes Great Britain. She* a gp°d
sport.
Belgium, in addition to the Fourth
of July message of joy, always sends
us a Memorial day message of sym
pathy.
In business, piogress usually is
toward the greater speed. In
etiquette, the goal sometimes is
different.
Take that matter of one ruler
telling another ruler about a
blessed event. In the old days, the
happy monarch dispatched the
tidings by cable. Nowadays, how
ever, the proud papa signs his own
name to a personal letter written
to the heads of the other countries.
All of this brought to mind by the
cablegram, sent the other day by
President Roosevelt to His Majesty,
Boris the Third. King of the Bul
garians, Sofia, Bulgaria.
It read as follows:
"It affords me special pleasure to
send to Your Majesty my felicitations
on this national anniversary and to
express the earnest hope that the
Bulgarian Nation may continue to
prosper.”
While the birthday-book tipped the
President off to the date, Mr. Roose
velt, the State Department makes
clear, had a personal hand in the
phrasing of the message.
Come to think of it, it wouldn’t do
you a bit of good, you fallible fellow
who forgets the date of your wife’s
birthday, to get yourself elected Presi
dent of the United States. The birth
day book is official; not personal.

ing; Rumsey, Harvard man and high

for a long time.
"I «met Mary at Roosevelt Field
when I was flying. It was four years
ago.”
Bride Is Republican.
Mrs. Rumsey, the mother, who is a
friend of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
said, "Oh, you must put in the papers
that Mary held a Republican appoint
ment. It's a little joke we have. We're
all Democrats. Mary's the only Re
publican in the family.”
Miss Maloney has been assistant to
her aunt. Miss Maud Robinson, pub
lic welfare officer at Oyster Bay.
The wedding ceremony was per
formed in the chantry of Grace Epis

that counts.”
PAYMENT OF BONUS
ASKED BY MACNIDER
Former Legion Chief Reverses
Stand, Alleging Value of
Dollar Cut in Half.
By the Associated Press.
MASON CITY, Iowa, October 6 —
Col. Hanford M^cNider, former na
tional commander of the American
Legion, who for years has fought the
cash payment of the adjustment com
pensation certificates, yesterday an
nounced that he would fight for the
immediate payment of the bonus.
"I am for the immediate payment of
the adjusted compensation certifi
cates,” he said. "For years I have
fought against similar demands be
cause I believed that such an attitude
on the part of the Legion would con
stitute repudiation of promises, at least
implied, when we secured passage of
that legislation.
"When, however, the Government In
the name of emergency repudiates its
promises to pay in gold and deliberate
ly deserts every pretense of a sound
dollar or a balanced budget it repudi
ates its promise to every service man
who holds a certificate and takes from
that man’s dependents the insurance
they had a right to expect. Half the
dollar the Government promised him
is gone.”

WARNED AGAINST DRINK
Latter-Day Saints Are Told of
Obligations.
SALT LAKE CITY, October 6 UP).
—A warning that repeal of the eight
eenth amendment did not revoke thr
rule of the Latter Day Saints Church
against the use of alcoholic drinks was
sounded by Dr. Richard R. Lyman, a
member of the Council of Twelve
Apostles of the church, at the open
ing of its 105th semi-annual confer

“He who belongs to the Latter Day
Saints’ Church and drinks tea or cof

fails to resist the temptation to drink
the glass of beer or any other bev
erage containing alcohol, surely can
not regard himself as being true to

FEDERAL BOYCOH
Steel Firm Failing to Sign
Code Complains of “Dis
crimination.”
Claiming they are being "boy
cotted” by the Government because
they have not signed the steel code,
the W. Ames A Co., Inc., of Jersey
City, N. J., yesterday filed suit in
District Supreme Court for an in
junction against Secretary of Agri
culture Wallace, Secretary of Interior
Ickes and Thomas H. MacDonald,
chief of the Bureau of Public Roads.
The suit is considered likely to de
velop into a major test of the Blue
Eagle agency. The IHqf Jersey com
pany did not sign the Pl»sident’s re
employment agreement nor any code.
The plaintiff company, manufac
turers of steel and iron products, says
it has not signed the code because it
“ruinously discriminates” against
them. Because of the refusal to sign,
it is contended, the defendants, who
have charge of disbursing money in
Government road and bridge con
struction and in loans to States, mu
nicipalities and corporations for re
covery purposes, have sought to pre
vent the defendant from securing any
business.
The Government, it is alleged, has
attempted to accomplish this by re
I quiring all recipients of this money i
to agree not to buy any materials from
a concern which has not signed the
code.
Charging that this procedure is "an
out and out secondary boycott.” the
plaintiff asks for an injunction to
prevent continuance of the alleged
unfair practice. The suit was filed
through Attorney Daniel Thew
Wright of Washington, and Attor
neys Frederick Snow Kellogg and R.
Robinson Chance of New Jersey.
