Newspaper Page TextNews Review of Current Events the World Over President and Congress in .Tam Over Reduction in Expend itures —House Passes Bill Giving Philippines Indepen dence —Senate Faces Struggle Over Revenue Bill. THE battle for reorganization of government bureaus and agencies and for a general reduction In ex penditures developed Into a partisan struggle in congress with President Hoo ver’s proposals under attack. The President led off with a special message to congress, in which he said that while a further reduc tion of $200,000,000 in expenditures, in ad dition to the billion dollars of new taxes, would be required to balance the budget, an even greater sav ing could be accom- President Hoover plished by consolidation of bureaus and boards, by reform of administra tive methods, by abolition of “less necessary functions,” and by temporary suspension of other activities. Inasmuch as so far reaching an economy program would require the repeal and amendment of a multi tude of existing laws, he proposed that the preparation of a comprehen sive plan be assigned to a commis sion composed of senators, congress men and representatives of the Execu tive. The President’s proposals met with Immediate opposition on the part of Democrats in both houses, and a de mand that the Executive submit spe cific recommendations for the reduc tion of expenditures. Speaker Garner declared that it was too late to create new commissions and assured the President that any specific recom mendations he has to cut expenses will get quick action in the house. In reply to the opposition voiced against his message, the President In a later statement said: “What I asked for in my message ■was organized, nonpartisan co-opera tion by all forces to reduce govern ment expenses in the national emer gency which Insistently demands re lief for the taxpayer." “What I have asked for is not a commission, but that the senate and house delegate representatives to sit down with representatives from the administration and endeavor to draft a national economy bill.” Continuing, he said that without such action he saw no way by which there can be a maximum reduction in expenditures. The comeback to this was that if the President failed to present definite proposals for a reduction in expenses the Democratic leaders would present a plan of their own. Senator Jones, Washington, Repub lican, acting on the President’s pro posals, introduced a joint resolution in the senate to create a commission of three senators, three representatives and three officials of the administration to draft an economy program and re port within thirty days. It would not only suggest where appropriations should be slashed, but also recommend consolidation and elimination of gov ernment bureaus and agencies. The resolution met instant opposition in the senate. The major senate contest over the billion dollar tax bill, now the subject of hearings before the senate finance committee, will probably develop with the move already started by inde pendent members of both parties to boost the surtax rates on the higher incomes to a figure above the 40 per cent maximum voted by the house. That a determined effort will be made to restore the manufacturers’ sales tax to the revenue bill is a certtenty. That it will be accomplished is a foregone conclusion. The importance of government sal ary cuts in the economy scheme has been emphasized In support given the idea by Senator Robinson, the Demo cratic leader, and Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi. The latter fore cast with regret, that a general slash was likely to materialize. The house special economy commit tee has approved bills to dispense with the army and navy transport service, with an assorted annual reduction In expenditures; to postpone indefinitely part of the government’s big construc tion program in the Capital at a saving of $750,000, and to establish the Inter national water commission. This Is all the consolidating and dispensing yet recommended by the committee. Both the house and senate appropri ation committees continue to trim each bill down to the bone. INDEPENDENCE for the Philippines, an agitated issue for three decades, is made possible by a bill which passed the house by a vote of 306 to 47, giving freedom to the islands. Not a Demo cratic vote was cast against the bill, and only two Democrats were paired In the negative. And on the Repub lican side the 47 who voted “no" were more than doubly matched by 119 who voted “yes.” The Democratic total for the bill was 186 and the single Farmer- Labor vote was in the affirmative. The bill agreed to provides for com plete freedom for the Philippines aft er the islands have adopted a suitable constitution and undergone a proba tionary and seml-autonomous period of eight years, during which tariff ex- ports to the United States shall be limited to present levels and immigra tion restricted to 50 persons annually. On the Fourth of July following the conclusion of the eight-year period, American sovereignty is to be with drawn without any native plebiscite as provided in other measures. The United States will reserve only the right to retain certain naval and mil itary bases. THE senate finance committee pre sided over by Chairman Smoot, has opened its hearings on the billion dollar revenue bill passed by the house. A veritable avalanche of applica tions for hearings have been received by the committee. Secretary of the Treasury Mills was the first witness at the hearing. He offered suggestions to elim inate defects and dis criminations in the house measure. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, Repub- Reed Smoot lican member of the committee, began a drive to line up support for a general manufacturers’ sales tax in the new revenue bill. After informal discussions with Re publicans and Democrats, Reed an nounced prospects for inserting a sales levy, similar to that rejected by the house, were by no means as unfavor able as forecast. He will offer the sales tax amend ment to the finance committee, of which he is a member, if he finds the proposal has a chance to pass. Ex cise taxes substituted by the house for the sales levy were described as “cock eyed sales taxes.” The sales tax, he held, is equitable and fair. NEW YORK STATE’S primary was a walkaway for the Roosevelt and the Hoover tickets in the lone Democratic and the Republican con tests. In the Democratic contest, in the Forty-first congressional district in Buffalo, supporters of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt swamped a ticket favor able to former Gov. Alfred E. Smith by better than 2 to 1. The Republican contests were tn New York city and in Brooklyn. Dele gates favorable to the renomination of President Hoover won by approxi mately 18 to 1 in one and by about 4 to 1 in the other district over sup porters of Joseph I. France of Mary land. There was no opposition to the regular tickets anywhere else in the state. The Republican delegates to the national convention will support the President. Most of the upstate Democratic delegates are Roosevelt supporters, but the powerful Tam many bloc has not announce® its stand. S'ENATOR ALBEN W. BARKLEY of Kentucky will deliver the keynote address for the Democratic party when the national ’ convention meets in Chicago on June 27. His selection was made by a subcom mittee of 23 national committeemen in an all-day session in Chi cago. Jouett Shouse of Kansas City, who was Senator Barkley’s chief rival for the honor, is to be rec ommended for perma nent chairman of the convention. Mr. Shouse, who is execu- tlve chairman of the national commit tee, issued the following statement at the close of the meeting: “By unanimous action of the com mittee it was decided to recommend to the national committee, to be in turn recommended to the convention, the selection of Senator Barkley for temporary chairman and the selection of Mr. Shouse as permanent chairman of the convention. "Our conference was one of the most harmonious ever held.” INFURIATED by months of distress from unemployment and dissatis faction with the government policy, a mob of 10,000 stormed the house of assembly at St. John’s, Newfoundland, and forced the resignation of the gov ernment. Windows were smashed and public documents strewn in the streets. Police were powerless in the dem onstration. World war veterans then took charge of the situation and suc ceeded in partially restoring order. Citizens obeyed only the World war officers and the veterans under them on the streets of the capital, while most of the police were bottled up in the assembly building by the irate mob which milled outside. The war veterans closely guarded the residence of Premier Sir Richard Squires, who narrowly escaped seri ous Injury in the riot when he was aided to his home by three clergymen, who quieted a small portion of the mob which recognized the premier as he was hurried away. THERE will be no “discussion or negotiation” on the question of European debts by Secretary of State Stimson during his visit to Geneva, Wk Secretary Stimson spiritually, the relief that can come from some degree of successful Issue by the disarmament conference,” the President said. “Some two months ago I presented ideas which I believed would con tribute to a solution of some of the problems, and which were incorpo rated in the general program. CLEAR signals were visible during March that important results were following from the co-ordinated plans of public agencies and private finance to bring about basic improvement in the condition of business, the Ameri can Bankers’ Association Journal says in its monthly review. It notes that, although Immediate stimulations in current commercial and Industrial activity were lacking and favorable trends in standard trade in dexes were not apparent, growth in financial confidence and decrease in public fear were “too definite to be based on anything but solid facts and carried greater weight than formal statistics.” Concrete expression of a return of financial confidence was given for a period during March in the bond mar ket, which evidenced a relaxation in the pressure of financial distress and fear, and a turn in the direction of safety and confidence, the Journal says. "The most important aspect of busi ness betterment has been the wide spread return of the banks to more normal operating conditions,” it says, attributing this to the Reconstruction Finance corporation and other co-oper ative arrangements for assisting both closed and operating banks that are "clearly having the desired effects.” Assistant attorney gen eral Seth Richardson, in a report to the senate, described police admin istration in Honolulu as “impotent, un disciplined, neglectful and unintelli gent.” The report was in answer to a sen ate resolution calling for information on law enforcement in Hawaii. It fol lowed the wave of criticism in navy and congressional circles over the reign of terror in the islands, and par ticularly in Honolulu, brought to light by the attack and assault by five na tives upon Mrs. Tralia Massie. Mr. Richardson recommended the appointment by the President of a ter ritorial police head for the entire ter ritory, with full power of control and organization, and similar appointment of an attorney general to be the public prosecutor. Regarding conditions In general, Richardson reported: “We found no organized crime, no important criminal class, and no criminal rackets. We did not find substantial evidence that a crime wave—so-called —was in existence tn Honolulu. We did find, however, ample evidence of extreme laxity In the administraton of law enforcement agencies. “We believe that a continuation of such laxity is fraught with much so cial and political danger.” THE pinch of national economy prompted Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, ranking Democrat on the finance committee, to issue a dec laration against full J Kb A. W. Barkley payment of the vet erans’ bonus certifi cates. Citing the $2,000,000,000 deficit in prospect for the gov ernment this year and the pending bill to raise new taxes, the senator in a letter to veterans of his state said: “I regret that exist ing conditions impel me, in the interest of the country, to oppose the legislation at this time.” The stand taken by Senator Harri son, coupled with the known view of other senate leaders, is believed to doom any prospect of enactment into law of the bonus payment measure. In his statement the Democratic financial leader of the senate pointed out that $1,000,060,000 of the $4,000,- 000,000 government budget now goes to the relief of war veterans. A DECISION which brought to a stop the congressional career of Peter C. Granata of Chicago gave the Democrats of the house a full ten vote lead over their Republican op ponents. Granata was voted out and Stanley H. Kunz was voted In by the house members. It was a decision on an election contest brought by the lat ter, the Democratic congressional can didate in the Eighth Illinois district, against the Republican who had been seated at the outset of the session on the strength of his certificate of elec tion. The standing of the parties in the house now Is: Democrats, 221; Re publicans, 211; farmer-labor, 1; vacan cies, 2. (©. 1932. Western Newspaper Union.) THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA was the emphatic declaration of Presi dent Hoover. Stimson’s visit is solely in the interest of securing concrete and definite results from the general dis armament conference, even though those results may not be revolutionary in char acter, the President said. “The world needs, both economically and IhSL. Pat Harrison Beauty Talks By MARJORIE DUNCAN Famous Beauty Expert Beauty on Every Hand HOW many times, I wonder, have you and you and you been shocked by an ugly hand hiding be hind a trim and stylish glove. Were it not for the protection they give and the finished look they add to the cos tume ensemble I would be all for abolishing gloves. For time and again it has been proven that exposure is the incentive to greater beauty. The very first rule to remember when handing yourself beauty is that the hands must match your face in general tone and texture. Never cream your face without doing as much for your hands. When you cleanse, tone, nourish or bleach the face and neck take a minute to fol low the same beautifying process for your hands, too. It will be time well spent, I promise you. It is a very stubborn sort of skin that does not respond to a week or two of kindly care. Rough, chapped hands soon take on a satin smooth ness if treated to r. nourishing cream, a hand lotion or a soothing balm. This should be smoothed into the bands at night just before one re tires, and also several times during the day after the hands have been washed. For red and rough hands the old formula of glycerin and rose water, or equal parts of glycerin and spirits of camphor should prove both bleach ing and nourishing. Hands that are chapped should avoid soap and water for a few weeks. A cleansing cream is both soothing and cleansing. And every hand—from the loveli est to the ugliest should receive the proper protection before it Is sent outdoors. In the winter the chill blasts will redden and roughen and chap the skin. In the summer the sun’s heat saps the skin of the nat ural oils making it dry and leathery looking. A finishing cream smoothed over the hands and a dusting of pow der to top the loveliness is sufficient to carry smooth, white beauty through a busy day. Fruit juice stains are not new to the homemaker. The lowly lemon is a handy thing to have about if you are seeking hand beauty. A bit of to mato juice will also remove fruit stains. The hands of youth and beauty present a beautifully healthy skin tone, clear, transparent—not a dead white but the proverbial peaches and cream loveliness. The hands of youth and beauty are hands you love to hold for their satin smooth loveliness. No wrin kles, no discolorations, no ragged nails ever mar the hands of youth and beauty. Hand yourself beauty and remember that beautiful hands are also on the march in the spring fashion parade. * ♦ ♦ Make-Up Need Not Make You Look Bizarre IN ADDITION to the many women who have not yet adopted cosmetics, there Is still another group. The group consists of women who are un der the mistaken impression that using rouge or powder will make them look too-obviously “made up.” They asso ciate maek-up in general with an ec centric, exaggerated effect. Make-up is a subtle art. To use none at all is to commit as grave an offense against beauty as to use too much. The pallid, haggard woman is almost as much of an eyesore as the too-obviously painted lady. But by choosing the right rouge and powder— a shade to match the skin, texture to make blending easy, a quality that will in no way hurt the skin—and by ap plying these touches skillfully one can achieve not only a natural but a beau tiful effect as well. To achieve a natural effect the first requisite is to select a shade of rouge that blends perfectly with your natural coloring. If you have so little natural coloring that you are in doubt what it is, there are several ways of determining it When you are flushed, notice your col or, or when exercising, the blood will rush to the surface, or after patting with skin tonic, notice the color as well as the color outline, that is just where the “key” or deepest shade Is and notice how it fades away grad ually. The next step is to blend the rouge to simulate the natural color outline— apply It to the “key spot" then blend it so that it fades away. Edges should never be definitely outlined, but soft ened so that they are scarcely percep tible. A cream rouge Is best suited to this blending process and achieves a warmer, more natural, glowing and healthful effect. Powder should also match the skin and should harmonize with eyes and hair. Choose a good quality powder and one of good texture. When apply ing the powder do not rub it into the skin. Pat it on in an upward and out ward direction, then gently smooth it over. And while on the. subject of make-up, let me urge you to adopt a lip paste or lipstick, too. Rosy cheeks and pale lips do not conform with natural order of things. A too-obvious make-up should be avoided. But a natural make-up will only serve to enhance your beauty, to make you look more healthful, more alive. (©. 1932. Bell SyndiMte.)—WNU Service ■B FOOD OF QUALITY FOR BREEDING HENS Only Way to Get Best Eggs and Healthy Chicks. “Poultry has suffered along with other farm crops, but due to the drop in feed prices in proportion to the prices being received for eggs, and be cause of the mild winter permitting production to stay at level, poultry men have been much encouraged to go ahead with their work,” says Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry depart ment at North Carolina state college. “However, some poultrymen have at tempted to increase their margin of profit by decreasing the feeding or sub stituting certain feeds which do not give as good results. One of the main substitutions being practiced Is to use vegetable protein feeds for animal pro tein feeds. Soy bean meal and peanut meal are good if used in limited quan tities, but they should not entirely dis place the animal protein, especially when production Is heavy and the eggs are being used for hatching.” Any radical change from the usual methods of feeding at this time is like ly to be reflected In the hatchability of the eggs or the livability of the chicks, Mr. Dearstyne says. The breed ing hens should be fed so that they will produce only the highest quality of eggs. Mr. Dearstyne insists that green feed, plenty of sunlight, an adequate mineral supply and milk in some form, should be fed the birds to get the best eggs for producing healthy chicks. If the breeding birds are to be through a long laying season and maintain body weight, they must be fed a balanced ration. It is particularly unwise to de pend on grain feeds alone without mash. Chickens a Life Saver, Says Ohio Poultryman R. W. Sweitzer, poultryman, has told the Ohio Farmer how he managed to reduce feed costs in his flocks. “To make money we had to press down on feed costs,” says Sweitzer. He believes the cost of grinding grains for poultry Is a wasted expense. He feeds a free choice ration with corn, wheat, germi nated oats, meat scraps and milk be fore the birds at all times. Greens are supplied by cabbage and apples and cod liver oil is fed in the grain. Mr. Sweitzer raises all his grain and buys only concentrates. “Last year,” showed Sweitzer, “we received 6 cents a pound for our grain by marketing it through our hens.” Dairy cows were his main line until disease broke out and he had to sell his stock. “Our chickens at this time proved a life saver,” he said. Causes of Paralysis Paralysis is occasionally seen in chickens that are heavily fed and grow rapidly. It is also seen where there is overcrowding and poor ventilation. Let them have plenty of sour milk and green feed and add one teaspoonful of fluid extract of nux vomica to each pint of drinking water. There is a form of paralysis that at tacks mostly young birds, for which there is no treatment of any value and is usually fatal. In cases of this kind, it Is advisable to get a new flock and put them in new buildings on clean land. Changing the old flock to new ground or buildings does not stamp out the disease. —Michigan Farmer. Incubator Pointers Level the Incubator with a spirit level and place bits of wood under any leg that seems short This not only helps to keep an even heat in the egg chambers but prevents the vibra tion that occurs when the floor Is un even and one of the Incubator legs does not rest firmly. A cellar is the best location for the Incubator as it is free from vibration and the air will be rather moist. When the machines are operated in an upstairs room the entire family must be careful to avoid running, heavy walking, banging doors or care lessly leaving them open and chilling the air around the machine. Need Cod Liver Oil Poultry kept around cities where smoke abounds do not get sufficient sunshine in winter time, and hence cod liver oil is necessary for them. Prof. E. L. Dakan, of the Ohio State uni versity, says after testing out several flocks. Two years ago he fed all flocks without cod liver oil except one, and that one pen laid the most eggs. Next year he fed cod liver to all flocks except one, and that year this single pen without oil had the lowest pro duction of all. —Ohio Farmer. Heavy Layers Hens have to meet a high standard before they are used for breeding pur poses at the United States live stock experiment station at Beltsville, Md. Poultry men of the Department of Ag riculture choose breeding hens only from those which produce at least 225 eggs in the pullet years and whose eggs average at least two ounces in weight. They save only the chickens from hens whose eggs are at least 70 per cent hatchable. Pullets are not used In the regular breeding pens. RESTFUL SLEEP for FRETFUL, FEVERISH CHILD — With Castana's regulation When your child tosses and cries out in his sleep, it means he is not comfortable. Very often the trouble is that poisonous waste matter is not being carried off as it should be. Bowels need help—mild, gentle help —but effective. Just the kind Cas toria gives.

A. prompt dose of Castoria will urge stubborn little oowels to act. Then relaxed comfort and restful sleep! Genuine Castoria always has the name: Just How New Yorker Happened to Be “Let In” John Stewart Bryan, himself a Vir ginian, tells of a man from Charles ton, S. C., who returned home from a visit to New York. Somebody asked him how he enjoyed himself and the colonel said: “Fine! We had a great dinner at Delmonico’s. Colonel Rave nell was there; Major Elliott from Columbia was there; three of the Screvens came from Savannah, and there was General Breckenridge from Kentucky and Beverly Randolph from Virginia.” “That made eight, with you?" “No, there were nine. Oh, yes; there was a fellow from New York there.” “How did he get in?” “Oh,” said the colonel, “he was giv ing the dinner!” —Boston Globe. WOMAN'S WEAKNESS Valdosta, Ga. —“I was so run down and weak a few years ago I was not able to do any of my housework,” said Mrs. P. H. Boyd of 308 West St. “I suffered from woman’s weak ness and was in a very nervous condition. Finally I decided to try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and can truthfully say it is the best tonic I ever tried— I soon noticed a wonderful change —felt so different, more like myself. I continued taking it until I had regained all of my strength. Now, whenever I feel rundown I take a bottle or two of the ‘Prescription’ and soon am back to normal health.” All druggists.

DIRE RESULTS OF WASTED RESOURCES Perhaps the richest' country in Eu rope in natural resources is Ru mania, yet its people live on the low est level of culture, in squalor and poverty. Perhaps the poorest coun tries in Europe in natural resources are Switzerland, Holland and Den mark, yet these have the highest gen eral level of well-being. Within the limits of common expe rience, prosperity depends not so much on abundance of natural re sources as upon the manner of con trolling and using them. The way in which natural re sources are controlled and used to promote well-being Is a good measure of a civilization. Half a million In dians fought for hunting grounds and lived precariously in what is now the United States. The Greece of today has been robbed and denuded until it looks like a desert. The peasants’ goats have stripped the mountain sides, as the army and the politicians have the nation. A man will travel long distances over the mountains to gather a bundle of brush no larger than a lilac bush, to use for fuel. Yet Greece under good care could be a land of plenty. Poor, barren Switzerland has edu cated her people, managed her for ests, enriched her meadows, har nessed her waters, and exploited her natural beauty (which Is no finer than that of Greece) to support a moder ate and thrifty, but relatively widely distributed, well-being.—A.
