HOPKINS DISPUTED ON USE OF FUNDS Grand Jury Association Has “Almost Opposite Idea” After Study. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 15.—The Federal Grand Jury Association today ex- pressed disagreement with the recent assertion of Harry L. Hopkins, Federal relief administrator, that no Federal money is being spent on unpatriotic teachings. In a statement, the jury association of the Southern District of New York said its findings would give the public an “almost opposite idea.” “The assoclation,” said the state- ment, “is concerned by the attitude taken by some who have made re- plies to its protests registered with the Appronriations Committee of the Senate, in Washington, D. C., relative to the use of Federal funds supporting schools in which subjects have been taught which it considers un-Ameri~ can. Non-Partisan Organization. “The association is & non-partisan | organization which is seeking facts only and which never enters into any political discussions. * * * | “The association fully agrees with | that eminent educator and adminis- | ‘% trator, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who has stated that comparative study | of despotism, of democracy, or repub- licanism, of communism, of nazi-ism, | or of fascism, should be reserved for mature_students in universities; but there sHould not be taught in elemen- | tary and secondary schools, main- tained by .he Government at public cost, that which undermines the Gov- | ernment upon whose support the | schools themselves rest. ‘Workers’ Schools. “The association disagrees with | those who wish to put the workers’ schools and its class of students on a par with the American institutions of | higher learning and their class of re- | search students who spend years in | the study of government and soci- | ology. * * * In the workers’| schools where Walter Langsdorf, as- | sistant administrator of gency Relief Bureau, the Emer- | admits such | subjects as: History of the labor move- | ments, meaning and function of trade unionism, early labor movements, the present day of A. F. of L., early Socialism and present - day trade unionism, as well as the teaching of how strikes are fomented, it would be well to preface these with a study of American Government and Amer- jcanism and the words and tune of *The Star Spangled Banner.’ “The Federal Grand Jury Associ- ation regrets the position taken by Harry L. Hopkins. * * * Mr. Hop- kins is quite emphatic in his state- ment that there is no spreading of foreign propaganda of communism in the workers' schools; almost the opposite idea would be impressed upon the public after reading Mr. Langs- dorf’s statement.” LEE STATUE PLAN AROUSES PROTEST Massachusetts Group’s Attack on Arlington Proposal Given to Senate. By the Associated Press. A protest against the erection of 8 statue of “Robert E. Lee or any other traitor” in Arlington National Cemetery has been made to the Sen- ate by the Massachusetts Relief Corps, auxiliary of the Grand Army of the Republic. A resolution adopted by the organ- {zation, said to number 8,000 women, was presented to the Senate without comment by Senator Walsh, Demo- erat, of Massachusetts, It said: “We believe it unseemly that a statue of any man or men who fought with rebel forces with the object of overthrowing this Govern- ment, should be recognized in_this | manner, regardless whether it is| Robert E. Lee or any other traitor.” A bill for the erection of an equestrian statue of Lee in Arlington has been introduced by Representa- tive Fish, Republican, of New York.

TREASURY FORCE CVEN BACK PAY 1,200 Alcohol Tax Unit Workers Get Money Due Since December. A More than 1,200 Treasury employes | in the Alcohol Tax Unit and other in- | vestigative services, who have been without pay since December 1 due to | the McKellar rider, today were re- ceiving their money, following signing of the Treasury-Post Office bill yester- day by President Roosevelt. | Arrangements had been made to re- imburse them as soon as the legisla- tion had completed its course. Meanwhile, about 350 whose civil | service status had been questioned, had completed non-competitive examina- tions required to enable them to hold their places. The results of these tests will not be known for several days. The rider originally was aimed at This Changing World Pilsudsky’s Death Causes Redrafting of European Peace BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The death of Poland’s dictator, Field Marshal Joseph Pilsudsky, is compelling the statesmen of Prance, the Soviet and Germany to redraft their plans for “peace” in Europe, be- cause nobody knows henceforth which way Poland will go. As long as the old revolutionary soldier was alive his will was Poland’s will. What he want- ed, Poland wanted. Now there will be a race between the three powers principally interested in that repub- lic to gain the upper hand with the leaders in Warsaw. And since there are no actual leaders, they will en- deavor to back their sympathizers to become rulers. * X X K Pilsudsky was a queer kind of a dic- tator. He held only a comparatively minor position in the cabinet. But it was he who appointed Presidents, ministers and army commanders. The field marshal was faithful to his friends and ruthless with his enemies. The President of Poland, Ignace Mos- cicki, was an obscure chemist in his | own country, but & good friend of Pilsudsky from the days when he was nothing but a troublemaker against Russia. Pilsudsky made him President because he liked him and also because he knew that he will never try and exceed his role of a rubber stamp. So was the rest of the Polish cabinet and the high-ranking officers. They held their offices indirectly from the burly revolutionist and obeyed blindly his biddings. i * K x % Although officially he was only & secretary of war, everybody in Europe knew that nothing could be obtained from Poland without the dictator’s consent. Hence whenever & high- ranking foreign diplomat could not see the fleld marshal he considered that his mission to Warsaw had been a complete failure. Pilsudsky wrote letters and gave instructions to Polish ambassadors abroad without even bothering to consult the government. The Poles without this strong man are like a flock of newly hatched chickens without the mother hen in a thunderstorm. * ok Xk Many observers believe that if the French play & careful game Poland would not hesitate to accept France’s mothering. Pilsudsky, the French politiclans say, was responsible for Poland’s estrangement because he did not like France’s peace policies and was naturally sympathetic to Hitler's hard-hitting diplomacy._ * kX % ‘The truth is that Pilsudsky did not like any foreign entanglements and his political game was to make Po- land’s existence safe. He had studied bistory and knew that big powers could not be trusted. As a matter of fact, the Polish gen- eral staff is antagonistic to Prance. because the French officers sent to reorganize the Polish army after the Polish-Russian war of 1981, displayed 4 Plans. a remarkable lack of tact. They treated the officers whom they had to teach the art of warfare like raw re- | cruits and managed to become per- sonally disliked by the men who are | today at the head of Poland’s political {and military affairs. * K ok K Japan may have a Hitler in due course of time. The man who is aspiring to that position—under the control of the Emperor—is no other a person than Yosuke Mat- suoka, who carried into eflect the breach of Japan with the League of Nations and who is now warning his countrymen against borrowing too many of the habits and the methods of the West. * x % % In his build and in the style of his moustache, Mr. Matsuoka bears a slight resemblance to der Fuehrer. He has recentfy organized a “league to abolish political parties” and has already no less than 800,000 follow- ers. His theories are a mixture of Mussolini’s, Hitler's and Mustapha Kemal's, specially adapted to the Japanese situation. He appeals to the youth of Japan to put an end to the party squabbles and the inevitable corruption which is tied to party politics in Japan. Matsuoka, who is extremely vocal, preaches robust na- tionalism and a return to the old way of Japan—before Admiral Perry's days. L Many diplomats regret the pre-war days, when royalty undertook to give each other warnings of impending po- litical dangers. It was done discreet- ly, without press: reports or con- | ferences. Thus in 1913, when Prince Henry of Prussia visited his cousin, King George of England, at the Windsor Castle, the two relatives discussed the world situation. Prince George spoke about the Franco-Russian menace to Germany—history repeats itself—and King George listened attentively. When asked bluntly, as close relatives can ask each other, whether Great Britain would stay out in case of an armed conflict between these two groups of power, King George said, “No, under certain circumstances we shall be honor bound to stand by our friends.” Prince Henry, very upset, asked whether he could report this conversation to his brother, the Kaiser. “By all means,” replied the British monarch, “frankness can do no harm.” Good Work—Honest Informati isfled Oustomers - Free Inspection, Guaranteed Treatment TERMITE CONTROL CO.

Nat'l 8711 “Ask Our Customers” 'First Chain Telegram Here | oo ssaten e e Offers Congressman Riches The chain letter craze has now “gone haywire.” That is, it has taken to the wires of the telegraph offices. | This morning when Representative | Crawford of Michigan stepped into his office a messenger boy handed him a chain telegram—apparently the first of its kind in Washington and one of | the first in the United States. ‘The telegram read in part: “Chain telegram; don't break it.” Then five names. “Chain by wire should spread like fire. Wire 85 first name, remove top name, add yours. Wire copy five kindred spirits. Answer collect.” ‘The local manager of the Western Union said this is the first time he ever heard of such a thing. Nat- urally, he hopes it will increase busi- ness, but—that $5 clause is just too much. So far as Representative Crawford is concerned, he has yet to commune, by wire, with five kindred spirits. ‘While the wires began to-burn up, the chain letter business kept on booming. It has the post office offi- cials in what is known as a quandary. It figuratively burns them up to be in the equivocal position of turning cold water on the “dime” letter craze, which has boosted their business. But Solicitor Karl A. Crowley ruled it beyond the legal pale, so the har- ried officials, in the language of Roy M. North, deputy assistant in charge of stamp sales, hope the “fantastic fad, like that of a popular tune, will pass and pass quickly.” ‘Warily conceding that since the chain letter craze struck Denver a ICE CREAM with your eyes shut!
