BEIRUT. Syria. June 27.—Young
6yrian Arabs added their support to
day to the Nationalist campaign
against British and Jews in Palestine.
The Syrian leaders urged Arab kings
to support actively their brothers in
the Holy Land and strengthened a
commercial boycott already organized
In their country.
Many merchants cut off shipments
of goods to Palestine Jews and young
native vigilantes erected a blockade
against truckloads of produce.
The widespread sympathy move
ment. designed to aid Palestine Arabs
to win satisfaction from the British
administration against Jewish immi
gration and land ownership, has had a
serious effect on Beirut trade.
Land Transportation Checked.
Land transportation was becoming
virtually impossible between Palestine
and Beirut, officials said.
Financial sources asserted many
merchants in the Holy Land have
stopped buying goods in Syria since
the outbreak nearly three months ago
of the Arab general strike in Palestine.
Obligations which Palestine dealers
contracted remained unpaid and
Syrian merchants, in some instances,
have sought loans to pay their own
hills.
to complicate the situation, the
Syrians have their own movement
against French rule under a League
of Nations mandate, a problem which
the French government in Paris now
has under consideration.
French Forces Bolstered.
- French military forces in Syria
have been heavily reinforced lately,
bringing their estimated strength to
35.000 men.
Despite the serious repercussions
caused In commercial fields by the
sudden decline of Palestine trade, a
majority of native Syrian merchants
was reported to have offered aid to
the Holy Land Arabs.
Groups of young men in Damascus
established a watch over garages for
shipments of chickens, eggs and vege
tables routed to Palestine. Many truck
eargoes have been destroyed near
Rdon, the principal route between
Beirut and Haifa.
Relief committees in large centers
and villages were named to collect
funds to support striking Palestine
Arabs.

BRITISH PLAGUED
15,900 Troops Ready, Backed by
Minor Unite.
'. LONDON. June 27 UP).—A new dan
ger arose on the deserts of Trans
jordan last night to plague British of
ficials, already sorely vexed by their
Palestine powder keg.
Arab discontent, fanned into open
rebellion with bombs and bullets in the
Holy Land, spread across the Jordan
to find sheiks threatening to go to the
assistance of their blood brothers in \
Palestine.
The British contended they were
prepared for any eventuality.
On the surface this preparedness !
consisted of approximately 15,000 reg
ular troops, backed by minor units
such as the camel corps, the frontier
guards and regular police.
British armaments were vastly su
perior to any the Arabs might sum
mon to their cause. They had air
planes, armored cars and tanks in the
Levant. So far as was known, the !
Arabs possessed none of these.
• But only a week ago. during Pal- I

mons Colonial Secretary William !

there was no disorder in Brltish-man- 1

AMMAN, Transjordan, June 27 UP). \
—Fierce desert warfare threatened last
night as 100,000 Bedouins urged a
march across the River Jordan to the j
aid of their blood brothers, the Arabs
of Palestine.
A meeting of desert sheiks resulted
In a decision to tell their ruler, the
Emir Abdullah of Transjordan. Brit- j
lsh-mandated kingdom, they are ready ;
to join Arabs of Palestine In their
guerilla warfare against the Jews and
the British.
The Emir and his own family are
divided in the face of the greatest
crisis since this desert nation was
carved out after the World War.
Thus far the emir has confined him
self to the role of offering advice
favoring peace.
Sipping coffee while sitting with a
correspondent in a tiny office of his
palace, the worn leader declared:
"X have offered my advice only. I
have not tried and I do not want to
attempt more.”
Abdullah is a staunch friend of i
Great Britain. As emir he receives a i

The drunk was too fast for her,

STRONG DISTRICT
DEMOCRACY CITED
John Walsh, Seconding Nom
ination, Speaks of Lack
of Franchise.
BY J. A. O’LEARY,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.—The
District of Columbia’s six votes in the
Democratic National Convention went
toward the unanimous selection of
President Roosevelt as the party’s
candidate last night, after Delegate
John Walsh had seconded the nom
ination on behalf of the District del
egation.
Walsh, brother of the late Senator
Thomas F. Walsh of Montana, took
occasion in his seconding speech to
remind the convention again that,
while Washingtonians are not permit
ted to vote in November, the city has
a “splendid and militant’’ Democratic
organization, comprised of men and
women “who. wlthougt thought of
public office or favor, unselfishly and
effectively promote in various ways
the best interests of our country
through the instrumentality 0f the
Democratic party.”
Pointing out that residents of
Washington observe the administra
tion of governmental affairs at close
range, Walsh praised the record of
President Woodrow Wilson, and crit
icized the three Republican admin
istrations that intervened between
Wilson and the election of Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
He dwelt in detail on the eviction
of the bonus marchers from Washing
ton near the close of the Hoover ad
ministration.
“Never was a nation so much in
need of a leader as in the dark days
of 1932,” Walsh said. “Never was it
so plain that without a leader of
courage, purpose and understanding,
our national affairs would develop
into chaos *•••.”
“Now that the depression has fairly
run out and confidence has been re
turned. and the normal processes of
agriculture and manufacture have
been set in motion, all through the aid
given by this administration, we find
arrayed against our President not
only those hungry for governmental
privileges and immunities, but also
every shred of private grudge and
every resentful special interest shorn
by the official shears of executive and
legislative justice. And much to our
regret, men who have been honored
by our party in the past and who
should be leaders of public opinion
and progress, are now to be found
skirmishers on the march of political
and economic progress giving vent to
shallow criticism."
Referring to Gov. Landon, Walsh
said the Republicans “chose a candi
date without record of any national
public achievement or prominence.”
“The Republicans have Indulged in
extensive rhetoric, charging usurpa
tion of executive powers and the abro
gation of constitutional rights,” he
continued. “No reasonable and un
derstanding man believes that any
possibility exists under the Constitu
tion of Interference with fundamental
rights of individuals or sovereign
States.
“In my humble judgment, there Is
no call for any amendment to the
Constitution.”

The National Scene
BY ALICE LONGWORTH
PHILADELPHIA. June 27.—The great mummers' parade sounded
the real keynote of the convention Thursday night. It was
_an elaborate spectacle and received the enthusiastic plaudits
tnai were ranting during the week at the au
ditorium.
Speaking of mummery, the platform was read
and adopted that same night with scarcely a
ripple of applause.
In my hotel room, I sometime^ listen to the
convention on the radio. Commentators, ap
parently breathless with excitement, strain their
vocabularies to paint word pictures of what they
are pleased to call the historic proceedings. Fear
ing that I am missing a high point, I hasten to
the hall. There I find some stodgy individual
chanting a litany of the New Deal while
... .—J mousanos or spectators and delegates are
strolling About or catching up on much needed
sleep. The radio audience gets a fantastically distorted presentation
of what is actually going on.
The lethargical reception of the platform is quite understand
able. There Is nothing in It to arouse fervor, even among the most
susceptible of partisans. We must look to the campaign speakers
for elucidation of its banalities. It \t clear that they intend to
continue lavish Federal spending and drastic Federal control of
business and agriculture. It is apparent also that if reelected, the
New Dealers will attempt to remodel the Supreme Court according
to brain trust specifications.
The absence of a plank on boondoggling was conspicuous. It
is possible that the President has saved mention of his cherished
New' Deal innovation for his speech of acceptance. He may quote
from his Newark address of last January in which he said: "If we
can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression that word Is going to
be enshrined In the hearts of the American people."
In view of what has been going on since then, it would be interest
ing to hear what Mr. Rooeevelt now has to aay about that “grand
word."

nursing bruises received Thursday,
when a crowd of some 300 men invaded
union headquarters here, beat the or

Goodyear officials at Akron, Ohio,
denied union charges that the com
pany was responsible for the violence
here, saying ‘particularly false and
ridiculous is the charge that our fac

The injured union men were re

Sarazen started away on his final bid
by playing the first five holes in level

his third shot dead to the pin. It was
his third straight birdie.
Sarazen lost his last chance at the
fifteenth when he hooked his drive
and hit a spectator. He took a 5 on
the hole. He blrdled the sixteenth,
however, but needed birdies on the
last two holes to tie.
Instead of getting the two birdies

Indian Chief Who Once Fought
V. S. Succumbs in D. C. Hospital
Chief Fly Above, who lived to see
the white man claim all the soaring
honors to which he was entitled by
reason of his name, died last night
in Galllnger Hospital, an institution
against which he would have fought
with bitterness had he been a little
younger and less beaten by a civiliza
tion which had brought him. as an
exhibition, to a Potomac River camp.
The 85-year-old Indian had spent
the last two seasons in a camp at
River Bend, along Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway. He died of
diabetes.
His death ended a colorful career
which found him in the roles of an
Indian warrior, an agent of the Gov
ernment which he fought so hard,
member of the most famous of ‘ Wild
West" circuses, and, finally, to a
point where he could bask in the sun
as curious visitors gazed at his grizzled
features.
Following the surrender of the Sioux
tribe after the battle in which Oen.
Custer's forces were wiped out, in
1876, Chief Fly Above still failed to
give in to the white invader and for
two years engaged in guerrilla war
fare against the soldiers of the United
States. He became a captain in a
Government reservation after his sub
jugation. Afterward he was with the
Buffalo Bill circus, accompanying the
picturesque showman to Europe.
The body will be returned to his '
native South Dakota for burial, while
his soul, as he firmly believed, will go
to the “happy hunting grounds."
