Washington Lowdown By Rodney Dutcher /______—_-— Timing and Placing 3 Flu Grips Capital Congressmen Hide WASHINGTON —The timing acing of Miss Gertrude nli p](ll ng wein's Vvisit to Washington prob yly was the most appropriate oc yrrence in the history of the New eal. A few days before Congress pened, if historians were onto neir jobs, would be known as the gughouse Period.” Miss Stein irived plop in the middle of it nd gave utterances in speeches nd interviews which were prompt y seized upon by hopeful persons ho insisted here was a person ho spoke the language of the iew Deal. Nobody was in position o deny it. . It turned out at the last moment ihat Roosevelt hadn’t been any too Lure just what he was going to propose to the new Congress. He knew in a general way, of ourse, but everybody was hazy as to details and most of the New Dealers suddenly found themselves frantic with ~ cabinet commitee, qubcommittee, and other meetings and conferences which left every body tired and short-tempered be-l canse everybody was burdened with altogether too much work. | Mr. Roosevelt's faculty for let ting different people go away from him with different ideas as to what's really in his head didn’t help calm the situation at all. Lots of things had to be smoothed out and understood all over again. A couple of holidays and twe half holidays came along, meaning! days off for all government em-‘ ployes, and the big shots, so heav-j ily dependent on the small fry, found that an added handicap inJ getting things done. Naturally, nobody could Keep' track of what was going on around | him, which made it all the easier to believe Miss Stein Wwhen shel spoke in her well-known tongue. Meanwhile, influenza bec'ame] more common around town than at any time since wartime, and n¢ end of appointments were cancel« ed. Don Richberg was down with it, though that didn’t keep him from rushing from bed to Cleve land for a speech. Few New Dealers were in shape' for much celebrating when New | Year's Eve arrived, though the boys and the girls in the lower strata. of government service man aged to provide the capital a full quota of noise, You couldn’t find anyone here] Who wouldn't wisecrack that Gen eral Johnson should have paid Richberg for the publicity resut ing from exposure of the ‘“Assist ant President’s” threat to sue for libel if Johnson wrote any false hoods about him. The exchange of compliments between the two men was a highlight of the “bughouse period.” Johnson's line about “the ants of ctonscience in his pants” was the most quoted one of the month and even Richberg laughed hard at it and told his friends he thought it Was pretty darned funny. Another amusing sidelight in the feud is to be seen on the wal of Richberg's study at home, where 2 photograph of Johnson, presen i‘;‘l’ lot so long ago, bears the in -8 {Lmon from the general; To Don—without whom NRA m.\.,rl\\'(»nh] have meant a thing.” U\iY?gm:.:; li” ; keeping _with every things ‘ Was the discovery that one haxj ].lmtwl m_unum.ent.

Young Bomberger, son of Lowden [Bomberg‘ r, a Hammond attorney, ’tuld the police that he had been tossed out of a car near the Fed ‘eral building early today after his father had paid $50,000 ransom to the gang, but Harold Nathan, as gistant to J. Edgar Hooyer, direc ‘tor of the federal bureau of investi gation, said no money was paid, and a similar statement was made at the Bomberger home. The denial from the Bomberger home came from a brother of the “snatch” vietim, who refused to give his first name, and who de clined to disturb the elder Bom berger, “We didn’t pay a cent” the brmJ ther declared, adding that any further inquiries would have to be made to the department of justice, whose agents were called into the‘ case after young Bomberger had been seized last Sunday night ini ‘Crawfordsville, Ind., where he at« tends Wabash college. | The report of the kidnaping came shortly after federal agents had shot and killed Russell Gibson, a suspect in the $200,000 kidnaping of Edward B. Bremer, well-to-do St Paul banker, in a gun fight on Chi cago’s mnorthside. Young Bomberger said there were two men ang a woman in the gang and that he would be able to identify one of the men, who was called “Ed” by the others.

FRANCE AND ITALY POST AS SENTINELS i § Ready to Let Cermany En ter League With Legal Weapons Only BY A. EDWARD STUNTZ Associated Press Foreign Staff ROME — (AP) — France and Italy took posts ag sentinels on the European armaments road today, ready to let Germany pass on its way back into the League of Na tions if she carries only legal wea- | pons. | They did so by virtue of a se ries of accords negotiated by For eign Minister Pierre Laval, and Premier Mussolini, Details were made public last night as the Frenchman sped toward Paris to seek ratification from his cabinet and parliament. In discussing armament the Ital ian communique did not mention Germany by name, but it said the two governments had agreed that no nation could modify its obliga-l‘ tions regarding armaments “by unilateral action.” | At the same time, the commun- ' ique continued, the Francoaltalian agreement was reached on a basis of the declaration of December 11, 1932—a declaration by major Eu ropean powers granting Germany a gradual progression toward equality in armaments as a meas ure to bring her back into the world disarmament conference. Germany, it is felt here, has been reéarming beyond the scope of this declaration and therefore officials believe the Franco-Italian stand was necessary.
