COTTON' DEATH “BLOW T0 COUNTRY Hoover and Stimson Praise Distinguished Record of Late Diplomat. By the Associated Pres BALTIMORE, March 11.—Ending a career that was unique in the flelds of diplomacy, lJaw and finance, Joseph Pot- ter Cotton died here yesterday after hav- ing undergone two major operations in six weeks. He was regarded as one of the keen- est men ever drafted into Government service, working as Undersecretary of State in a manner that brought him praise from high and low alike. His latest diplomatic achievement preceding & breakdown in health was that of suc- cessfully handling affairs of state while Becretary Stimson attended the London Naval Conference. Family at Bedside. Last Summer, Cotton took a leave of absence in an effort to rebuild his vital- ity. A tonsillotomy falled to give de- sired results, and last January he under- went an operation for spinal infection. On February 16 his right eye was re- moved, but the end could not be fore- stalled. ‘With him when he died in Johns Hop- kins Hospital were his wife, his daugh- Qer, Isabel, and his New York law part- per, George 8. Franklin. He had been visited by his chief, Secretary Stimson, and the White House physician, Dr. Joel T. Boone. Born at Newport, R. I, July 22, 1875, Cotton was graduated from the Harvard Law School 25 years later. He became legal representative for B number of New York firms, and in 1015 went to Washington to act as nt and counsel for the Government the acquisition of Alaskan railroads. Hoover Sees Death as Loss. A friend of President Hoover because ©f his work with the Chief Executive when the latter was food administrator, he was appointed Undersecretary of State in May of 1929. He was an easily approached, indefatigable worker, using his background to decide moot questions without lengthy deliberation. In Washington President Hoover saw the death as a “great loss to the Gov- ernment and to our country.” Secre- tary Stimson said Cotton had ‘“ren- dered service of literally inestimable wvalue.” ‘The President’s statement said: “Mr. Cotton's passing is a great loss to the Government and to our country. He ‘was my friend for over 20 years. He has given much of his life to public service, and has never refused a de- mand from the public interests. His ability, his character, his devotion to fille"hingher purposes, made him a great efti o Stimson Praises Aide. Stimson said: “In the two years in which he has been Undersecretary of State Joseph Cotton has rendered service of literally inestimable value to the Government. “His wide acquaintance among men; his familiarity with large affairs, both of business and Government; his in- dustry and faculty of dispatch; his keen analysis and wise judgment have all served a spirit of high public pur- pose and a character of unfailing courage. “Among_his fellows in the State De- partment he has won a position which ‘was unique. Coupled with respect for his attainments, they have grown to cherish for him a devoted affection on account of his s considera- tion and kindness, as well as a_delight #n the charm of his companionship and of his never-failing whimsical humor. “Por myself I have lost an associate whose counsel and assistance have been fnvaluable and a friend whose absence will make the world & r place.” Stimson plans to attend the funeral st New Bedford Hills, New A successor to Cotton has not been appointed, although William R.

He met problems which arose during his tenure of office with an ease that astonished his. colleagues. The Under Secretary came to the department with 30 years of highly suc- cessful legal practice behind him, & background which played a large part in making his new job easier. Received All Callers Unlike many other Government offi- cials, he always kept the door of his office open to all callers. His telephone rang incessantly as Government col- eagues, New York financiers and even President Hoover himself sought the advice of one of the keenest minds ever drafted into Government service from a private Jaw practice many times more lucrative than the $10,000-a-year salary he received. Astute diplomats in formal dress, hurrying clerks and newspaper men were all received alike by the Under Secretary. His favorite worl tion was to sit leaning back in a spring chair, his feet placed in the opened sec- ond drawer of his desk, with his papers and correspondence piled high on his lap. A corn-cob pipe, which he smoked incessantly and in all company, was al- uded to by Cotton as his “single He speedily reached decisions on mat- ters of highest Government policy. Subordinates with brief cases or ques- tions for him, would take them in singly within a matter of minutes with an order of “Tell them ‘yes’ ” or “Tell them His Work Unlimited. There was hardly a limit to the amount of work his office could handle during a single day. He often was in his of long after the department had closed, but worked at home only on personal affairs. His frankness was demonstrated once when Sir Esme Howard, the former British Ambassador, called upon him. The diplomat had a complaint against & certain man, and in diplomatic fash- jon talked around the question for some 15 minutes without coming to the point. “I suppose what you are trying to tell me, Mr. Ambassador,” Cotton in- terrupted, “is that this man to whom you are referring is & common, ordinary garden varlety of a numb-skull. Is that right?” The diplomat said it was correct. Bored by Formal Functions. Cotton cared nothing for society or formal functions, dressing in top hat and striped trousers for the latter only under protest. When he grew tired or bored with a party he was attending by virtue of his office he went home. He never observed the diplomatic de- mand that he should remain until the ranking guest and guest of honor should depart first.

Crile of Cleveland told the Séu;hmum Surgical Congress here yesterday. “The Kinetic System and Its Con- trol” was the subject of Dr. Crile, who aroused interest in the scientific world recently by an announcement that he had been able to develop living cell tis- sue artificially. “Our leaders and thinkers are driven to more activity by a highly developed frontal lobe and are more subject to high blood pressure, goiter and other allments. Man is in a sense the victim of his own civilization,” the scientist sald. “Man’s superiority over beings of the lower order is in the development of this higher organ. The animals are superior to us in sight, smell, strength, fleetness and in many other respects.

THE EVENING COLOR-PAGE NOVEL New Picture Story, “Tarzan,” " Will Start in The Star Next Sunday. Edgar Rice Burroughs is writing a color-page novel. Heretofore his stories have always been written originally for serial or book publication and later translated into the media of screen or newspaper strip. Now he is creating directly for an original picture story. ‘The new picture story will be the Tarzan color page, which will appear each week in The Sunday Star, beginning next Sunday. The new Tarzan color page intro- duces two modern white children who are lost in the jungle and rescued by the giant ape-man. Although the story is continuous, each color page will relate a complete episode. As Tarzan is the most colorful and picturesque of modern romances, its appeal when told in picture form has already been heightened by the brilliant dally strip serials in which his ad- ventures are pictured. This appeal is enormously increased when the colorful story gets into the real colors of a weekly page. Never has Tarzan seemed more exciting and more attractive, Success Literary Phenomenon. ‘The color page brings a new impetus to the invention of Edgar Rice Bur- roughs, whose amazing imagination has quickened the pulses of readers since “Tarzan of the Apes” first astonished and attracted the world. The success of Mr. Burroughs has been one of the phenomena of modern literature. His book sales in the American and British editions alone have already exceeded the 10,000,000 mark. In addition, his stories have been translated into 16 languages and into Braille for the blind. The success of the stories, which have usually been first published as serials, has been increased by their successful appearance in book, motion picture and newspaper strip forms. Eac con- tributed to the success of the other and now they are all intensifying the inter- est of millions of readers in the Tarzan color page. ‘The extraordinary success of Edgar Rice Burroughs has back of it a tale of hardship and struggle. Mr. Burroughs was born into the United States Army, his father being a Cavalry major. Trained for West Point, he flunked his | entrance exams and in disgust at his lack of preparation enlisted in the Army as a private. He served in the Cavalry at Fort Grant in Ari- zona, where he saw some Indian fight- ‘When he quit the Army he be- came a ranch cowboy and drifted into various jobs, at all of which he had a uniform and steady lack of success. He was a gold miner, a bill collector, & | teacher, a salesman, storekeeper, rail- road policeman and eventually an agent in Chicago for a lead pencil-sharpening device. As an agent his principal oc- cupation was sitting in an office waiting for orders that didn't come in. With plenty of time on his hands he started to write his first novel, and when he had half of it finished he submitted it to a magazine telling the editor that if the editor didn’t like it that was all he was going to do. Fortunately for Mr. Burroughs, the editor did like it and asked him to finish it. The story was published in All Story Magazine under the title of “Under the Moon of Mars.” It sold for $400. Thus en- couraged, Mr. Burroughs tried again and this time turned out “Tarzan of the Apes.”” The serial rights for this went for $700. Fortunately, Burroughs did not include other rights in the sale. ‘These other rights have since run in value somewhere close to a million. Begins Writing at 35, Burroughs was 35 years old when he started to write. At 'that time he was living in a condition of poverty that bordered upon desperation. The im- pulse to write came through the sheer necessity of supplying his wife and two children with food. Even with the sale of the first few novels that he wrote of the Apes” and it wasn't until the novel had received widespread attention a5 a newspaper serial that the publica- tion opportunity came along. With the publication of his first Tarzan book Burroughs became established as one of the important popular writers in the world. At one time it was said in Eng- land that his sales exceeded that of all of the most notable English writers put together. In all countries and among all peoples Tarzan has repeated its in- itial success. It is a succt probably based upon the civilized man’s yearning for escape to primitive living with ’Wud t is this call of adventure and of colorful beauty that make the new Tarzan color page so attractive for all who long for far-off romance and the glamour of ele- mental lifs WOMAN TELLS STORY OF STUDIO SHOOTING Says Photographer Spoke of “Dying Together” When She Planned Getting Job.

LONDON, March 11.—There was no 5i today of a break in the bitter ‘Winter weather which has gripped most of Europe since last week. France, Germany, Austria and the British Isles continued to experience exceptionally low temperatures and heavy snowfalls.

France is experiencing the coldest late Winter in many years. Tempera- tures vary from 14 to 26 Fahrenheit. Snowfalls have been particularly heavy in Normandy, Brittany, Alsace and Savoy, where enormous avalanches have blocked a number of roads.

WAGNER BILL VETO ATTACKED BY TWO Federal Employment Service Rapped by Both Green and Harrison. President Hoover's pocket veto of the | ‘Wagner unemployment bill drew the fire of Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi, and William Green, president of | the American Federation of Labor, in | statements made public today. | Both statements rapped the existing Federal employment service, which President Hoover, announcing the pocket | veto, had said could cope with the em- | ployment problem. Party Prejidice Charged. | In his statement, through the Demo- | cratic National Committee, Senator Harrison said President Hoover was re- jecting the measure because of its| Democratic origin. - “It is evidently the | administration philosophy that it is bet- ter that a few million people should go hungry for & year more than to have their agony relieved by a Democrat,” he | added. | Harrison said “every labor man com- | petent to speak for the workman's or- | ganizations” who ng;:!lred at congres- sional hearings on the bill had support- it ed it. Arthur Woods, chairman of the Pres- ident’s Employment Committee, and Secretary Doak, before he entered the cabinet, were cited as supporters. | “That the existing Federal employ- | ment service has broken down and shown itself absolutely incompetent and inadequate to take care of the panic emergency has been amply demon- strated,” Harrison sald. “It has had | a year and a half to show its ability | to handle the situation and employ- ment has not been alded in any | degree.” Called “Blow to Labor.” Green sald the “reasons offered for the exercise of the presidential veto are unconvincing and unacceptable,” and that “the working people of the United States are deeply disappointed.” “Because of the deep interest which labor had in this measure,” Green sald, “the refusal of the President to ap- prove it is regarded as a direct and severe blow to working people in the industrial sections of our country who l.rlkllnemplcry!d and are forced to seek work.” The bill, sponsored by Senator Wag- ner, Democrat, New York, would have set up machinery to aid State unem- ployment services.
