The Vice President of the United States is- sued an extremely important state- ment on his own stationery, oust- ing General Maxwell as head of the Export Control Office and re- placing him with Milo Perkins of the Agriculture Department. This statement marks a very sig- nificant change, which, without any hullabaloo, has taken place in the relations between the President and Vice President of the United States. Probably it is the most significant change since the days of the Found- ing Fathers wHen Vice President John Adams succeeded Washingtor: as President, and when Vice Pres- ident Thomas Jefferson later step- ped into the shoes of Adams. Since then Vice Presidents have not usually succeeded Presidents except in case of death. Nor have the relations between the President and Vice President been particu- larly important, except, as in recent times, for a definite lack of cordial- ity between them. Vice President Marshall, who served with Woodrow Wilson, was famous chiefly for his remark: “What this country needs is a good five cent cigar.” Vice President Dawes became famous for his rows with Coolidge and for having slept—perhaps pur- posely—through an important Sen- ate vote when Coolidge needed him. Charlie Curtis, who never got along any toc well with Hoover, be- came famous for his social ‘row over whether his half-sister Dolly Gann should sit ahead of Alice Longworth at dinner. Finally, Jack Garner was famous for his private refrigerator and for . ) i Army Spectator Six-months-old Roger Craig finds it | shady and comfortable under the wing of a Flying Fortress at Barks- dale Field, La.

Death Penally For Treasonin Norway Now King HaakoTSigns New Norwegian Law from Exile in London LONDON, Oct. 4—King Haakon VII of Norway, in exile here, today signed a decree for his regime, pro- viding a death penalty for crimes against the Norwegian state. Hitherto, life imprisonment was the extreme penalty for treasonous acts. The move was described by King Haakon as a “warning to tools of the Nazis” as to the fate they'll face. SAILORS LOST _IN COLLISION OF NAVY SHIPS BUEN©OS AIRES, Oct. 4—Three men were lost and “others are miss- ing,” after a collision in fog yester- day between an Argentine cruiser and a torpedo boat 5¢ miles north- west of Mal del Plata, the Naval Ministry announced today. ———e———— MANY MUSEUM VISITORS A total of 509 visitors signed the register at the Territorial Museum here during September, a count re-| vealed today.

C. White | east of Brazil and made the unusual gesture of permitting correspond- ents to quote him directly, declar- ing: “This sinking seems to be another act of lawlessness and piracy and attempted frightfulness in connec- tion with the general movement to drive people off the Atlantic Ocean.” The ship, sailing under Panaman- ian registry, had been transferred under British orders when it was sunk, the Standard Oil Company disclosed in New York. It is the eighth American-owned merchant- man sunk since the start of the war. { | (rewmen of Vessel Sent Down, Rescued Victims of T-or;edoed Am-| erican Tanker Reporfed | All Picked Up but Four BULLETIN — RIO DE JAN- EIRO, Oct. 4—Reserve ships are reported to have picked up 34 of the 38 crew members of the torpedced tanker White. | The reserve ships are expected to arrive here with the sur- | vivers on Tuesday, Feur crew- men reported missing were last | seen clinging to a life raft. e | RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Oct. 4 —The United States Consulate here announces that the American steamer Delnorte has rescued 17 {more survivors of the torpedoed { American tanker I.

Peserses ArmyBonsher Slof Machines, Pin Ball ~ Are Hit in Syrian Rights Missing Since 6ames, 1 Armed Bandits’ Tax Measure | By JACK STINNETT | WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. a strange town, Although many states and most communities have, had their ba‘- tles with slot machines and even| pin ball games, Congress, for the first time in history, gave them an official nod in the $3500,000,000 na- tional defense tax bill. They did it Iby slapping a tax on them—$10 a | year if they are simple “games of {skill” and $50 a year if they arc |the “one armed bandits.” This doesn’t mean, of course, that Congress has legalized any- thing outlawed by any state or |local government. If Congress {hadn't slapped an income tax on {ill-gotten gains, there would be a ‘lot of gamblers, bootleggers, racke- | teers and other criminal gentry jroaming around today without ftheir ptrison records. Probably in {another year, some two-bit racke- (teer who has been playing his ,ma- chines over the heads of mayors,| sheriffs and governors for years,| It’s will; find himself in the clink for failure to pay his $50 tax. SECRETS ARE SHUSHED AROUND A court martial in the Army or Navy, and censorship, are twosub- Jects that always make news, but I know cases of both that haven't got above the whisper stage. In recent weeks there have been cases of “court martial” in the Navy on both coasts—and the charge was that the wives of naval officers on sea duty met them at the dock when the ship hove to. Here's the why of martial. Al movements of the fleet these days are secret. Al Navy mail from men on sea duty is censored. 8o how could these wives show up at ports far awsy from home unless somebody was telling secrets or sneaking out un- the court ,censored messages?
