SPEAKER BANKHEAD.
The appointment of Congressman W. B. Bankhead to the
Speaker’s chair of the House of Representatives to fill the post
left vacant by the death of Joseph Byrns, brings to the forefront
of American politics, a man whose name is known the breadth
of the land as noted for honesty and integrity in the art of which
he is a master, politics. Always linked with the passage of im
portant measures, it was fitting and proper that he be tendered
the appointment as Speaker of the House.
Hailing from Alabama, this man has placed that Southern
state in the fore of Southern political and industrial endeavor
with his brilliant and resourceful tactics which have so marked
his entry into the political life of the United States.
Possessed of many ideals.for which he has fought constant
ly both in Congress and in private life, Mr. Bankhead can be
counted on to fill the place left by the beloved “Uncle Joe”
Byrns. Political astuteness developed for him a courage which
has been a by-word in the Congressional halls. Known as a noted
speaker, and gifted in the subtle wiles and means of acquiring
his point, the Southern congressman has been elevated to the
forefront and leadership in the game he knows best; politics.
ACTIVITY ON WATERFRONT.
The record-breaking waterfront activities with the existence
of so many boats in the river either taking on or discharging
cargoes, must indicate only one fact and that is; business musr
be on the upturn. The first indication of any world-wide progress
is in the carriers which go to make up the links in the all-import
ant chain of transportation, which after all, is the deciding fac
tor in the world’s business relations.
* The boats tied up at the wharves, hints at an activity which,
during the days of a decade ago, made Savannah one of the fore
most ports of the country, with absolutely no peer in Southern
shipping circles. Naval stores, cotton, lumber and many other
commodities had their inning when they were loaded onto huge
freighters for trans-shipment to the many other ports and locali
ties of the world. Then, due to circumstances, which was world
wide in their embroynic state, suddenly the bottom dropped out,
and the waterfront with its former picture of hustling stevedores
and stacks of freight which cluttered the docks from end to end,
was an empty void with the huge warehouses standing as mute
evidence of something which had gone before.
But now, the old picture is returning and the sights which
used' to delight the hearts of the old-timers are beginning to
shape up into the bright ro#;y future that Savannah, as a seaport,
can obtairy
OUR READERS’ FORUM
Editor The Daily Times:
To demand respect we should merit
respect. Whether we are laboring men
or capitalists I am sure as fair mind
ed men we must agree that when J.
Pierpont Morgan was summoned to
Washington he should have been
allowed to state his side without hav
ing a midget placed in his lap, fol
lowed immediately by the news re
lease of the then administraaion
spokesman, "You may have been a
general once but you are only a cor
poral now.”
I do not know if the Townsend plan
is workable or not, but I do contend
that when Dr. Townsend was ordered
to Washington it was due him and
the American people that he be allow
ed to state his side. I am sure that
any fair-minded man, Townsendite or
anti-Townscndite, will agree that any
red blooded American would have
taken a walk rather than submit fur
ther to the kind of Inquisition he was
subjected to.
What reason can be given for these
large appropriations for investiga
tions if all must "see eye to eye” with
the administration?
The whole blamed mess lacks dig
nity. so why hold anyone in contempt
if the halls of congress have been
turner into a cheap medicine show.

Editor Daily Times:
If you will be kind enough to grant
me a few lines in your valuable paper
I will appreciate it very much. I want
to complain about jay-walking in this
city. Everyday when I am downtown
I see persons crossing the main
streets without so much as glancing
up to see if the traffic lights are red
or green. In some cities that I have
been in (I have only recently moved
to Savannah) this would be an of
fense subject to arrest if a traffic
officer happened to be in the mood.
But, certainly if we expect motorists
to obey traffic rules and pay attention
to the lights, pedestrians should do
likewise. In other words set the right
example. If an auto should ride down
one of these Jay walkers other ped:st
rians would no doubt be angered to
the extent that police would be need
ed to protect his life. On second
thought however, it would be seen
that the victim of the accident was
•’just a little” to blame himself.
I write to esk you if you will start
• crusade, not only for safety in auto
Atlanta
driving but safety in walking across
busy thoroughfares. Your paper is do
ing such fine work in fighting other
fights for Chatham County and Sa
vannah, I am sure you will take up
the cudgels in this. Thanking you
for any space you give this letter,

Hastily I said something.
Without thinking, carelessly, I sent
a few words forth to wing their way
or drop to earth.
Swiftly the Hawk of Truth, waiting
in the sun, darted down upon my
fluttering words and sank his talons
in them and brought them back to
me, and dropped them at my feet ...
all bloody, all quivering, all penitent
and ashamed.
And the ruthless Hawk said to me:
“Are these your words?”
“Yes.” said I, averting my eyes.
“Then eat them!” screamed the
Hawk of Truth, and flew swiftly
away.
So I ate them.
The words you wish you hadn’t
spoken make a nauseating dish. They
are rotten, they are tainted, filthy
grubs congregate upon them. You
wish they weren’t yours. They form
a ghastly banquet.
They are tough. You chew and
chew and chew a bitter cud. There
are pebbles in them that break your
teeth. They are bitter and they
sting. And the more you eat of them
the more they seem to be. They
multiply as you chew.
Soon you’ve had enough. They are
dry and you choke on them. You
look around for cool water to wash
them down. ... No water anywhere.
You eat in a desert. A mirage ap
pears. You see purple grapes hang
ing from green vines. Fragrant odors
of rich food come to you. A silver
spring gushes from a green meadow.
You stretch forth a hand, the fair
banquet fades. . . . And the | awk
of Truth perches on a lean, dead
limb and screams: “Eat every one of
those foolish words you spoke. You
can’t have anything else until you've
eaten every scrap.”
A luminous automobile, which can
be seen half a mile at night, was
displayed recently in Paris, France.

Central Press, Washington Bureau,

By CHARLES P. STEWART
(Central Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, June s.—Recent
news that the English deem it neces
sary to create a new Gibraltar at
Cape Town came as considerable ol
a shock to navy, army and state de
partment folk and to members of the
Washington diplomatic corps gener
ally.
The geography of the situation is,
indeed, obvious enough.
John Bull evidently is fearful that
the Italians, intrenched on both sides
of the Mediterranean and along the
west coast of the < Red sea. may be
able to block his line of communica
tions from London, through the Suez
canal, and thence onward to India
and the still farther Orient.
Therefore he proposes to establish
a tremendously powerful base at the
tip of South Africa whence his war
craft and transports can cut across
the open Indian ocean to and fro’.n

power seriously to interfere with

Cape Town and Cathay.
The voyage from England, to say,
the overseas ports of Bombay or Mel
bourne or Hongkong is, to be sure,
an impossibly long one in an emer
gency, around the Cape of Good
Hope. But the British plan is to
make Cape Town, ON the cape, the
British base, eliminating 3,000 knots
of steaming.
• • *
Tremendous Expense
Briefly, a cruise from Cape Town
to the Orient is shorter than a cruise
from London to the Orient, via tbe
Mediterranean, the Suez cana. and
the Red and Arabian seas.
The re-routing arrangement is
sound na' z a! strategy.
But, heavers! its expensive.
It involves the dredging out of an
adequate harb>.‘, the construction of
fortifications and the maintenaiice of
a naval establishment of proportions
at least equal to John Bull’s home
fleet—figures running into the bil
lions.
• * •
Washington Puzzled
And who would have thought that
the English would believe themselves
unequal to keeping the Mediter
ranean, the Suez canal and the Red
sea open to their own shipping!—
against so comparatively trifling a
naval strength as Italy’s.
This is what stumps American
naval men.
Il Duce, they reason, must be a
vast deal more formidable than they
thought he was. And yet, they hard
ly can believe it. They know ap
proximately the strength of the
Italian navy: are certain that it
w’ould not stand a chance against
Britain’s. Their theory, throughout
the Ethiopian campaign, has been
that Italian sea power could not
stand up in one good fight with the
British. They have wondered why
London has not put a stop to the
Fascists’ Ethiopian activities by clos
ing the Suez canal against them.
Has He Won Yet?
To be sure, Italy probably could
not have been stopped in Ethiopia
without preciptating a general Eu
ropean war.
That, of course, is what Mussolini
has gambled on.
Up to date he has won.
How-ever, I have played poker all
evening, winning consistently—a n d
then been cleaned out at the final
hand at stud.
Flattery?
The jurfge who was about to deliver
a severe sentence looked at the de
fendant in the dock and began: “This
robbery was consummated in an
adroit and skillful manner.”
The prisoner blushed and inter
rupted: “Come, now’, your honor. No
flattery, please.”

HOW POTENT IS HOOVER?
Can He and Reputed Bosses Stop Landon?
CHIEF G. O. P. QUESTION
By LESLIE EICHEL
(Centra\ Press Staff Wtrifer)
CLEVELAND. June 5.—A1l is ready
for the Republican national conven
tion in Cleveland—and a fight.
At least, that is what observers are
saying.
The coming of former President
Herbert Hoover presages that the
ganging-up against Governor Alfred'
M. Landon of Kansas has gained
some progress.
It has been said that Mr. Hoover
has the reputed bosses with him.
That might have been so a few weeks
ago, but the state delegations, wheth
er bossed oir not, have decided Lan
con leanings at the moment.
Mr. Hoover has one ace in the hole.
Walter F. Brown, Hoover’s per
sonal boss, holds the Ohio delegation
in the palm of his hand. That dele
gation is the third largest- And
Hoover's own state, California, is list
ed as being for him, although the
delegates are said to be inclined to
ward Landon, even though having
been elected on a Hoover ticket.
But the most powerful delegation
of them, that from New York, sup
posed' to be in the pocket of the vet
eran Charles D. Hilles, has devel
oped strong Landon sympathies.

a different, name, each new one
faintly kin to my own but diluted,
as it were, with each greeting. . . .

“Apothie,” known in full as Associa
tion for the Prevention of Taking
Off Hats in Elevators, is having a
boom among the semi-serious draw
ing room organizers here. ... I
listened to a gay champion of the
movement the other evening for a
full hour, wondering vaguely why he
seemed so exercised over a question
that’s at bottom mere flap-doodls,
when so many grave problems press.
. . . On the way home, in a flash,
I had the answer: I remembered that
the man was bald as a door-knob. . .

There's quite a clique of “first
riders’’ here. . . . First Riders are
folk who make it a hobby to be first,
or almost the first, to ride on newly
inaugurated subway lines, bus routes
and across newly opened bridges.
. . . One young man, pointed out to
me in a restaurant the other night,
has achieved a local fame with his
record: first rider on a half dozen
bus services, first across thia George
Washington Bridge and first on the
Eighth Avenue Subway Line. . . .
He is forming a club, which will be
ready at the tape to dash across the
Tri-Boro Bridge the instant it is fin
ished. . . . Footnote; the mysterious
Long Island “candle burglar,’’ men
tioned here a few sessions back, has
been caught, after a five-year reign
of terror amon ghouseholcters in the
suburbs. . . • This in answer to a
number of queries. . . .
Much pother roundabout these days
on the subject of a newly-hatched
plan by the city fathers to make
New York the rival of Bayreuth with
a Spring Festival. . . . There will
be concerts and an air of hoopla, I
am assured, and maybe dancing in
the streets with free insurance against
being matted under a truck. . . .
Many of the town’s potent citizens
are organizing to promote the idea.
. . . And, honestly, spring isn't bad
here. . . - There’s a blue, sad haze
over the skyline on clear dusks; and
along Riverside Drive the lovers are
as candidly romantic as any In the
gardens of Louvre. . . . My favorite
day in town is Sunday, when I can
meditate, with most of the people
cut among the newspapers and banana
peels of the beaches, jabbing one an
other with their elbows, what a fasci
nating city this would be without the
inhabitants. . . . After all, the years
are making me a loyal New Yorker;
the only real quarrel I have w’ith the
place are the people who live here...
And it suddenly comes to me that
one of the first observations I ever
made in this stint—years ago—was
what a fairyland Broadway's elec- ■
trie signs must make for people un
able to read. . . . Even that wasn't,
I am sure, original. <
Hilles collaborates closely with tha
powerful utilities-politico boss from
Connecticut, J. Henry Roraback. Ekit
Connecticut, too, leans Landon-wise.
Ralph D. Williams, of Oregon, vice
chairman of the Republican national
committee, is supposed to be staff
adjutant for Hilles and Roraback. He
has been pushing Senator Frederick
Steiwer of Oregon.
Senator Stetyer meets the approval
of high financial intereats in New
York. Would he meet the approval
of Mr. Hoover?
Last, but not least, there is former
Senator David A. Reed, of Pennsyl
vania—Andrew Mellon’s attorney—
who will have the Pennsylvania dele
gation well in hand. This second
largest delegation could be swung to
Mr. Hoover or to whomever Mr.
Hoover should designate—perhaps.
* » ♦
No Dramatic Speech
The speech that Mr. Hoover will
make on the second' day of the con
vention will not swing delegates. That
is this observer’s view. But the con
ferences behind the closed doors of
large estates or clubs, which Mr.
Hoover may hold, could bring about
switches.
But what can the Hoover faction
offer? Certainly, nothing except de
feat. That is what Republicans them
selves say.
Then why the eagerness of Walter
F. Brown, that shrewd Ohio politician
who manages for Mr. Hoover, why the
eagerness on his part fund on the
part of Hilles, Roraback, Reed and
Williams, as well as Chairman Henry
P. Fletcher (of the Reed-Pennsylvania
group) to retain control?
They look for the spoils of 1840—
not 1936.
That is what reasoners on the
ground in Cleveland believe.
♦ « ♦
Then—Borah
Also, Senator William E. Borah,
the now Lone Wolf of Idaho, must
not be overlooked.
He will be on hand in Cleveland —
in fact, in the same hotel with Mr.
Hoover.
He will, however, be at the opposite
end of the poles from the Hoover
interests—with the Landon folk in
the middle.
What effect he will have on this
hard-boiled convention is problematic.
(Pardon the term —but the delegates
themselves laughingly assort it will
be a hard-boiled convention.)
» » ♦
And Then—!
The master stage-managers, how
ever, will appear in Cleveland follow
ing the G. O. P. convention. They
will be the New Dealers.
Cleveland itself is conceded!}' strong
ly pro-Roosevelt.
Now —look at the strategy:
The city is proud of its huge lake
front stadium, built at such a large
cost that taxpayers have difficulty
paying even th? interest.
The stadium is next door to the
Great Lakes exposition, to run
through the summer.
Chairman Fletcher of the G. O. P.
saw an opportunity. He urged that
the winning G. O. P. nominee be
“notified” in the Cleveland stadium.
Governor Landon intimated, so far
as he was concerned, it was too
“stagey.”
Before anything else could be done
about it, the New Dealers announced
that President Roosevelt, himself,
would speak in the stadium in Au
gust. Furthermore, they say the crowd
will be the largest ever in one place
to hear a speaker in the world’s his
tory. By putting loud speakers
through the exposition grounds along
Lake Erie, attendance may reach
half -a-million.
The Democratic machine in Ohio
is claiming the state for Roosevelt
by a large majority than he received
in 1932, which was surprisingly small.
To Receive Crown?
But, to get back to the Republican
convention, what about Colonel Frank
Knox, the Chicago publisher, and
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan?
The Hoover powers are favorable
to them—if the lightning must strike
elsewhere.
Or will Vandenberg wind up as
running mate for Landon?

June 5, 1790 —John Fitch’s pioneer
steamboat traveled from Philadelphia
to Trenton beginning a series of ferry
trips which continued through the
summer but failed to convince men
Fitch was seeking to induce to fin
ance its development, that it would
continue to work and have commer
cial possibilities.
Fitch had been experimenting with
steamboats for three years. In 1787
the first steamboat to carry a man,
plied up and down the Delaware
River at miles an hour. This
Fitch craft was propelled by 12 large
■ wooden paddles, six in tandem sash
. ion along each side of the boat, alter
nately dipping into and drawing out
of water. Thus the action was similar
to that of paddling of a canoe. The
Fitch steamboat of 1780 was, however,
a notable improvement, over this.
Benjamin Franklin, most progres
sive man of his time, couldn’t see
the craft’s possibilities when Fitch
sought his aid. If he could have, he
would have set ahead the beginning
of the age of steam 20 years.

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today—an ill wind
blew the Germans good. At 5:40
p. m. H. M. S. Hampshire struck a
submerged mine, a mile and a half
off the Brough of Birsay, and sank
bow down in 15 minutes. All but 12
aboard perished. No boats could be
lowered. The tall figure of Field Mar
shal Lord Kitchener was seen stand
ing with the captain of the ship -on
the bridge as the vessel plunged.
At the personal solicitation of the
Czar, Kitchener of Khartoum, a name
to conjure with throughout the East,
was on his way to visit Russian Gen
eral Headquarters to discuss close
cooperation between military forces
of Russia and her allies. A few days
earlier he had appeared before a Com
mittee In the House of Commons
and given such a concise statement
of what had been accomplished for
War, that those who “came to scoff
remained to pray.”
Numerous spies have been given,
and taken credit, so rsending Kitch
ener to his doom. As a of
fact, the route the ship was to take
was not decided until it sailed. High
seas and northeast gales caused it to
pass out of Seapa Fiow by a western
channel, and steam north tn the lee
of the Orkneys toward Archangel.
Had the weather been different,
another channel would have been
chosen. The Hampshire probably
would have reached its destination.
Kitchener was the one man in Eu
rope who might have held the ir
resolute czar ao a fixed purpose. The
weight of his support could have
caused reforms which would have
postponed the Revolution, perhaps
ended the war much sooner.
