ALDEN FREEMAN • IS CONFINED TO i MENTAL HOSPITAL NOTED PHILANTHROPIST PICKED UP BY WASH. INGTON POLICE WASHINGTON. July 18 (TP)—A rather shabbily dressed white bearded old man started talking around Union Station in Washington the other day about his great wealth and his politi cal triumphs. The police promptly picked him up and took him over to the mental ward of Gallinger Hospital. He was very agreeable about it and made no pro test. But the police said he talked In a rambling way and seemed to be affected by he heat. He’s been taking it easy at the hospital ever since and even seems to be enjoying him self. . Then today it came out. The man held in the mental hospital is Alden Freeman—an internationally known architect, who really is immensely wealthy and Who In his lifetime has scored great political triumphs, as well many others. Freeman, now 74 years old owns a large estate at Miami Beach, Fla. He’s the wealthy philanthropist who during the world war turned his palatial home in East Orange, N. J., into a convalescent home for soldiers. He is the author of three books and dozens of articles on political reform. He’s given almost a half column in “Who’s Who.’’ Freeman is a member of the Na tional Fraternity of Scholastic Ex cellence, Phi Beta Kappa. He receiv ed his Master of Science Degree in architecture from New York Univer sity in 1887. Since then he’s designed such famous buildings as Franklin Lodge at Miami and the Terraced Gardens at Santa Barbara, California. The Santa Barbara estate, built at a cost of $350,000, he later gave to the city. Said Dr. Joseph Gilbert, head of the psychiatric word at Gallinger, when he heard Freeman’s fame: 'He's suffering mental trouble of some kind, but it will require some lit tle time and study to determine its nature.” FAR EAST EYES WAR LORDS’ ACTS IN SOUTH CHINA RIVAL GENERALS DRAW UP THEIR BATTLE LINES SHANGHAI. Ju 18 (TP).—The eyes of the Far East are on south western China today. Armies of the rival Kwangtung generals, Chen Chi-Tang and Yu Hgp-Mou are drawn up within 60 miles of each other north of Canton. General Yu is supporting the Nan king government which recently or dered General Chen to turn over his command of the provincial military forces. Unless Chen bows to the demands of the Nanking government, most ob servers believe a battle between his forces and Yu’s troops cannot ve avoided. A clash was averted yea called “the deposed leader who re fuses to be deposed,” retreated to strengthen his position nearer Can ton. A section of the Hankow railroad has suspended operations in the sec tor occupied by the rival armies. Gen eral Chen took over the tracks and equipment and is using the road for military transportation to rush troops up to what may prove a hard-fought battle in the near future. RETAILER PLEADS FOR UNIFORMITY ♦ SHERILL STATES CRYING NEED IN VARIED SALES TAXES WASHINGTON, July 18 (TP).— The president of the American Re tail Association, Clarence Sherill, de clared tonight that there is a crying need for uniformity in various sales taxes throughout the country. “Sales taxes of various forms are now in effect in more than 20 states,” he said, “but each tax law has been developed independently.’ The re sult he said was that there was no co-ordination of the classes of prop erty subject to the tax and above all no uniform practical methods of en forcement. Sherill declared that retailers and consumers alike are opposed to sales taxes of any kind because of the bur den of collection and the Inequality of their assessment. He pointed out that in West Virginia, for instance, under its two per cent law, the tax on a six cent purchase is more than 16 per cent while that on a dollar purchase was only two per cent. He characterized as an absurdity the system Which made the tax rate higher the smaller the purchase. Sherill wasn’t very optimistic, however, about sales taxes being stopped very soon. "The magnitude Os the totals available from taxes on sales, particularly retail sales,” he said, “provides a tempting source of revenue to legislatures and invites wide-spread adoption.” MORTGAGE FINANCING DECLINES DURING YEAR WASHINGTON, July 18 (TP)— Drops in government statistics may usually carry a gloomy message, but here's one slump that has adminis tration officials grinning cheerfully. The farm credit administration an nounced today that farm mortgage financing from all sources in the United States declined one-third dur ing the 12-month period ending May >l. W. I. Myers, governor of the F. C. A. pointed out that most farm mort gage loans tn that period represented the refinancing of old mortgages. The American farmer, Myers said, is not going further Into debt. ENTIRE WORLD BUILDING NEW ROAD? AND SOON EVxLRY LAND WILL BE LACED WITH MOTOR HIGHWAYS, EXPANDING TOURING AREAS BY THOUSANDS OF MILES. 1 W I \||||L ASH gra*; lodern highway in England fl <> '••• "-.AH ****** Picturesque highuay to Kil- auea volcano, Hawaii 9H| _ jrjfr highway In .Mexico By STANFORD ®. WITWER (Central Press Correspondent) WASHINGTON, July 18. The progress made by commercial aviat tion -during the last few years has been so rap.d and so fascinating that the importance of the motor car as an international carrier and transport has been forced into a dim back ground. Yet a hasty survey of the globe dis closes that more money and more manpower are expended in the build ing of highways in all parts of the world today than are involved in the advancement of air routes. Almost without exception, every country in the world is busily en gaged making roads for automobile traffic. Some wish to entice tourists, others are answering industry’s age old cry for faster transportation of raw materials and products. A fl plan roads that will speed up troop movements in time of war. Alaska to South America In the Western hemisphere we have been interested for several years in the Pan-Amrican highway, which some day will provide a connecting link betwen Alaska and South Amer ica. Already 7,000 miles of the total distance between Fairbanks and Pana ma City are passable. Mexico has 900 miles of the road finished in her ter ritory and every Central American country has done a portion. This road will cost millions. In Mexico alone the first 900 miles are estimated to have cost the govern ment there $50,000,000. The expendi ture, however, should be a wise one, encouraging revolutionary advances in industrial and commercial relations between the United States and those countries to the south. South America has been far from backward in her development of fine roads. A recent check-up revealed a network totaling 36,000 miles of im proved highways in the seven coun tries of Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Vene zuela, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay, Brazil is the leader, with 15,000 miles. In Europe Italy, Russia and Germany are the pace-setters in European development, England, France and Spain, of course, already possess excellent highway systems. During the last six years Mussolini has spent $100,000,000 in the building of 12,600 miles of paved, highways tn Italy. Os this total distance, 3,764 miles are lined with fine big trees, planted at the rate of 240 every mile. More than 100 grade. crossings have been eliminated and a government de partment has been established to keep H Duce’s roads in perfect condi tion. Some 80,000 Germans are actively engaged today in shaping up Adolf Hitler’s ambitious highway program, which features a super-system 4.200 miles long. When completed, these roads will pierce every corner of Ger many. Six cars will be able to travel abreast on Hitler’s highways and the absence of curves will make terrific speeds possible. There will be no such thing a$ a grade crossing—not even a single cross-road! The roads will be routed around cities, thus helping travelers to avoid the delays of city traffic. At intervals, elaborate rest and service stations will be built and placed at the disposal of motorists. Russia Now Active Russia has lagged behind, but at the present time is rushing construc tion of roads connecting the east and west coasts of North Sakhalin with parts of Central Asia. In more rsmote corners of the globe, romantic highways are being readied to take adventurous motorists into territories where an automobile still is a novelty. In northern Africa, for instance, the Italian government has practically completed a road from Tripoli to the Egyptian frontier at Solium. This highway is 1.400 miles long and en tirely macadamizsd. From Solium it will be extended to Alexandria, thus making it possible to drive from Mo rocco to Cairo. In the wilds of Africa farther south a new roadway has been put through i.cm Keibala in Pganda province to Ruchuru in the Belgian Congo. It traverses the primitive and br-ngs the motor car into close contact with a region almost entirely inhabited by huge gorilla and pigmy tribes. Desert Highway Through the joint efforts of the English Automobile Association and the Austrian Touring club, a young student from Vienna, Max Reisch, to day is blazing a trail for a highway of the future which will originate somewhere in China and be routed through Persia, Turkey, Afghanistan and India, cutting across the famous Gobi desert. ERMA YOUNG IN ‘WONDERLAND’ ESSAY WINNER ARRIVES IN NEW YORK TO SEE A FOG AROUND THE STATUTE OF LIBERTY. NEW YORK, July 18 (TP)—A blue eyed, 21-year-old girl from Montana stepped off a train in Manhattan to day to find her dream had come true. The young lady is Miss Erma Young. She wrote a prize-winning essay on the subject of “Why I Should See New York”. The judges picked it out of some 700 entries in the contest and Erma—who had never been east of Montana—came on to New York. Newsmen and photographers corwd ed around the visitor when her train pulled into Grand Central Terminal. Erma stepped off the train brushed aside her confusion and posed for the photographers. Then she calmly an swered newsmen's questions. “Yes, I’m a bit frightened,” Erma admitted. “But—l’m here to have a good time.” Erma was graduated from the Intev mountain Union College at Great PLAN LANDON NOTIFICATION PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO * OFFICIALLY ASSUME REINS OF G. O. P. NATIONAL RACE THURSDAY. TOPEKA, Kan., July 18 (TP)— The bang of hammers and the snarl of saws resounded in Topeka today as workmen put the finishing touches to the fittings for the notification ceremonies. Governor Landon is due to stand on the steps of the Kansas state house next Thursday and hear a dele gation of Republican leaders official ly notify him that he has been chosen to carry the G. O. P. standard in November. All the pomp and glamor of a Hollywood extravaganza will feature a mammoth parade that will precede the ceremonies. None otfcer than the Hollywood director who made the word “collosal” a by word in the mo tion picture business, Cecil B. De UNION OFFICIAL it FOUND GUILTY MANSLAUGHTER’ INDIANAPOLIS, July 18 (TP).—A j union official, Harry Peats, was | found guilty today of manslaughter in the John Penny strike murder trial. Peats was sentenced to from two to 21 years in prison. He and another labor leader, Em mett Williams, were charged with killing Penny, a non-strlker, in March, 1935, during the Kroger Gro cery Company strike.

SCHOONER WITH 2 ABOARD IS MISSING OFF COAST BOSTON, July 18 (TP).—A 28- foot auxiliary schooner with two men aboard is missing off the coast of New England tonight. The craft. SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1936 In Hawaii, a specular highway re cently was opensd to traffic extend ing from the port of Wailuku upwand to the brim of the crater of the great colcano, Haleaala, 10,000 feet above the level of the sea. Today, tourists wishing to visit the volcano can do so in two or three hours by auto, where formerly a day’s ride on horse back was required. Even the Moslem Holy Land is not immune from the inroads of the con quering automobile. At the present time a road from Iraq to Mecca is being planned over which pilgrims of the future will be able to travel by buses or passenger cars to the Shrine of Mohamet! Falls, Mont., last month. The col lege itself doesn’t exist any longer. Montana’s severe earthquakes of last fall wiped it out. Erma looked up at Manhattan’s towering skyscrapers and wondered—out Iced—" Wouldn’t it be terrible if you had an earthquake here.” They assured her such a catastrophe wasn’t likely. Erma’s prize-winning essay told about a lot of things she wanted to see in New York City. “I want to see its heart really beat,” wrote Erma. “I want to see the Statue of Liberty in a fog.” The Montana girl's hosts are going to take her up Fifth Avenue and down Broadway, to the Planetarium, to Jones Beach and to dozens of oth er places. The trips also include one to the Statue of Liberty, but the city folks don’t know what to do about arranging for a fob around the statue. Mllle, will have charge of the parade. The big question today seems to be just when Governor Landon is going to open his active presidential cam paign. The popular prediction is that the G. O. P. nominee will not take the stump in his own behalf before Sep tember. Until then, Republican Chair man John Hamilton and Vice Presi dential Candidate Frank Knox prob ably will handle the brunt of the cam paign speaking assignments. Newsmen at Topeka think the Kan sas governor is casting a yearning eye at his Colorado ranch. They ex pect the governor to return to the trout streams and snow banks of Estes Park as soon as next week’s of ficial notification ceremonies are over.’ A GOOD IDEA! NEW YORK, July 18 (TP)—A Fifth Avenue attorney, Philip Da vis, today took up the cause of comir.mters who can’t find seats in railroad coaches. Davis said he had to stand all the way en route by train from Al bany to New York last Sunday. He anounced that he has demand ed his fare back from the railroad. He also intends to sue for dam ages. The lawyer reported that the law says railroads must provide what is called “sufficient accom modation” for passengers. He con tends that sufficient acccmmoda tion means at least some kind of seat. named. “Amoeba,’’ left Calais, Maine on July 2.

PAUL EXPECTS POLICE “SHAKEUP” RESULT OF QUESTIONING IN HAMM KIDNAP PING CASE ST. PAUL, Min., July 18 (TP) Rumors of a police force shakeup are common in St. Paul today. A witness in the William Hamm kid naping trial testified that the kidnap gang paid one fourth of the SIOO 000 ransom for police protection. The witness, Byron Bolton, claimed the money was given former Police Chief Tom Brown, who was a detective un til his suspension yesterday. The former Karpis mobster, Bol ton, also testified that SIO,OOO was paid to Jack Pfeiffer, the only one of seven men indicted for the kidnaping to plead not guilty. Pfeiffer is the alleged “Finger Man” of the Karpls- Barker gang. Federal lawyers are trying to prove that the kidnap plot extended beyond June 18 1933, the date of Hamm’s abduction. If they do not prove their point, the statute of limitations may bring Pfeiffer an acquittal. RELIEF CLIENTS SEEKING CASH 10,000 CHICAGO MARCHERS IN PARADE DOWN BOULEVARD CHICAGO, July 18 (TP)—More than 10,000 relief clients marched down Chicago’s Michigan boulevard today in a demand for restoration of direct cash relief payments. Two hundred extra police were on duty along the parade route, ready for the first sign of trouble. The marchers chanted a call for the city to reinstate the cash relief system immediately. They said th?y could save money by paying cash for groceries and necessities, rather than by presenting city requisitions to store keepers. The demonstration started with a round of speech-making at Union Park. Plans called for a march to the South Side, where the parade was scheduled to disband. City officials, meanwhile, claimed a system for restoring cash payments has been prepared and probably would go into effect in September.
