Attitudes Conflict
Conflicting attitudes by Rome and
London are indicated. Italian cir
cles have shown impatience with
Great Britain's caution and appar
ent unwillingness to take too strong
an action against Germany.
TTiis was partly expressed by the
authoritative Italian Journal Popolo
D1 Roma, which said England “ex
plored the attitudes of Berlin. Mos
cow, Warsaw and Praha-’ and now
needed “to explore England* atti
tude."
Dispatches indicate the present un*
official desires of the three govern
ments briefly are as follows:
Italy—action to safeguard peace,
an act.on "strong and concrete, with
or without ny.“
Great Britain—a compromise gen
eral security plan, not aimed at any
country and leaving the way open
for Germany to enter it.
France—a system of pacts guar
anteeing mutual assistance In case
of an attack on any country and a
resolution condemning German re
armament .

‘High Living’ By
State Senator
Told In Court
NEW ORLEANS. April 8—<*>—
State Representative Joseph Fisher,
on trial in federal district court
here for alleged income tax eva
sions, was described as a "gambler
and high liver” by Roland A.
Thomas, secretary-treasurer of the
Gulf Shell company, from which
concern the government charges
the Jefferson Parish political lead
er earned 887.422 in 1929, 1930 and
1931 on which he made no income
tax returns.
The testimony was drawn from
Thomas by defense counsel Hugh
M. Wilkinson after the govern
ment had released the witness for
cross examination, and marked
the defense’s first effort to support
its contention that Fisher is broke
and insolvent and has been since
1929.
The description of the defend
ant’s "Gay” living came as the de
fense questioned Thomas concern
ing an 88.808.10 advance made the
lawmaker in 1929 by the Gulf
Shell company, which the witness
said had been charged off on the
books of his company as a "bad
debt.”
"Why did you charge that item
off as a bad debt.’’ Wilkinson asked
thomas.
"Because at the end of 1929
there were no contracts between
Fisher and the Gulf Shell company
in the course of execution—there
were no orders for the delivery of
shells. That was one reason. We
also knew Fisher had no other as
sets.” the witness replied.
The government Is seeking to
prove its charge that Fisher earned
approximately 8122.000 during the
four years from 1929 through 1932
upon which he paid no income.

Ten thousand dollar pay checks,
say the testimonial advertising

years. A society name seldom gets

this area, according to a telegram
to The Herald.
A telegram from Raymond

sponsored the agreement on the
fishing bill', said the bill affects
only the Corpus Christi region
down as far as Kenedy county, and
does not go below Kenedy county.
The bill is now being written to
embody the agreement, and is
coming up for action this week.'*

have received $5,000.
Not many years ago. the Vander

ing. fearing the displeasure of the

mercial firms sought In vain the
endorsement of a Boston cabot.
But in the last few months, a

of the late W. K. Vanderbilt—ap
peared in a cold cream advertise

Boston endorsed a cigarette.
The cold cream endorsers are
one of the most exclusive sets In

said to have received $1,000, was

CONGRESS MAY
FEE PRESSURE
WASHINGTON, April I.—(*>-_ A
threat of a major strike and a wide
difference of opinion among prom
inent democrats as to how the
Roosevelt security bill would be
brought to the floor of the house
added Monday to the complexity of
proolema facing administration
leaders.
Meanwhile Capitol Hill heard a
report that President Roosevelt
plans to put pressure on congress to
get busy on his legislative program,
of which the 14,880,000,.00 work
relief bill is the only major one so
far passed.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor de
clared a strike was imminent In
three large rubber concerns at
Akron. Ohio, and added:
“It could be avoided if the man
agement of the Goodrich. Goodyear
and Firestone tire and rubber com
panies would permit their employees
to hold an election and determine
for themselves the union to which
they wish to belong, as ordered and
directed bv the national labor rela
tions board.”
A vote on the question of s strike
was held recently in the Goodyear
plant and similar balloting was be
gun Sunday in the other two. The
labor board had ordered employee
elections in the Goodrich and Fire
stone plants, but the concerns have
held them up by asking a court re
view of the board s decisions.
Democrats of the house of rep
resentatives tackled Monday the
task of deciding the method by
which the social security bill will be
considered in the house. The ma
jority members of the ways and
means committee, which studied
the bill for weeks, were called to s
meeting in which they were ex
pected to draft a request for a
“gag" rule which would prohibit all
except committee amendments when
the bill goes to the floor of the house,
perhaps Wednesday.
But some prominent democrats
were opposed to pushing the bill
through under such a procedure.
After the decision on this point is
made, democratic leaders hope to
get the bill through congress next
week.
