THE EVENING STAR, . FRENCH LEAGUES Delphiniums Defy Nature FIGHT DISSOLUTION Bellows of Defiance Greet Government Order—200,- 000 Remain on Strike. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, June 19.—Bellows of defi- ance a dissolution order against armed Rightist Leagues today as lawmakers completed action on FPrance's labor reform program. Chieftains of four armed leagues re= tused to accept an official command to disband their organizations—the Croix de Feu (Fiery Cross), the League for French Solidarity, the Young Patriots and the Francistes. Open Counter Attack. Meanwhile four parliamentary agents of the “dissolved” troops opened s counter-attack on the forces of Premier Leon Blum's own People’s front. The four deputies announced they would introduce a resolution demand- ing the dissolution of groups affiliated with the Socialist and Communist parties. These included the “Red Falcons” of the young Socialists and the Com- munist “Advance Guards.” The Senate enacted into law the last of Premier Blum's labor measures, passing the 40-hour week proposal, 182 to 84, after a vigorous Rightist effort to make the reform contingent upon international acceptance of shortened hours. More than 200,000 workers re- mained on strike, but officials said the “folded arms” movement was slowly diminshing. Only scattered instances of violence were reported. Wili Appeal Order. Three of the league leaders de- clared they would appeal the gov- ernment's dissolution order to the counsel of state, while Marcel Bucard, Franciste chieftain, asserted his fol- lowers were willing to die if necessary to continue the job of ‘“remaking France.” “There are still judges in France,” said Col. Francois de la Rocque, head of the Croix de Feu. “Our move- ment cannot for a moment be stopped. “If the government opposes us it will have to declare a dictatorship of Bocialism and Communism.” De la Rocque said his league would “meet all consequences without fear or weakness.” “The measures taken against us are llegal. As the mouthpiece of more than 1,000,000 citizens—men and women—I cannot accept it,” he as- serted. Demonstration Banned. Marseilles authorities banned a Nationalist “tri-color demonstration™ planned for Sunday to protest against the display of red flags on buildings occupied by strikers. The French tri-color emblem was ordered raised alongside the red ban- ners after Chamber of Commerce officials criticized union leaders. - The refusal of employes at the American hospital to work was con- demned by newspapers after the strike had been amicably arbitrated and the workers retirned to their Jobs with promises of shorter hours and more pay. “It was infinitely regrettable,” com= metned the Socialist newspaper Le Populaire. “The working class must not give the impression public serv- ices—above all a hospital—will not be permitted to function before concili- ation efforts have been pursued to the limit.” In & sarcastic editorial the Rightist mnewspaper Petit Bleu declared, “All the strike movement lacked was an international incident.” “Thanks to the disorders at the American Hospital, it is achieved,” the paper added. “The impression in the United States caused by refusal of the Government to have strikers expelled will considerably facilitate an eventual loan operation in New York.” Philippines (Continued From First Page) from the moment it quit its trans- | ports.” The propsed set-up, involving the use of small speed boats with tor- pedoes, plus air defenses, would make an invasion of Luzon, on which Manila is located, almost impossible, he added. Almost half of the com- monwealth’s population resides on Luzon. He declared the object of the plan was “to insure peace—a peace of self-respect and self-reliance—a peace which upholds the Christian virtues and defles the threat of rapacious greed—a peace that will mean con- tinued happiness and freedom for God- worshiping and democratic people.” Gen. MacArthur outlined the de- fense plan in this manner: ‘The chief of staff is in direct con- trol of the military establishment, under immediate supervision of the President. The chief is assisted by a general staff and by the chiefs of several services and bureaus. Among his assistants is the provost marshal, who is in charge of all national police work and of registering and inducting individuals into military service. The army itself is to consist of a regular force and a reserve, predomi- nantly land units, but which will be supported, so far as practicable, by an air force and a marine division, the latter to be known as the off-shore pa- trol. Essential harbor defense units will be maintained. Reserve Corps Planned. ‘The reserve corps will be organized under a plan requiring military train- ing “as a duty to the state,” Gen Mac- Arthur continued. Elementary mili- tary instrjiction will be & by-product of public school education and will be given on Sundays and holidays to young men not attending school. “The length of the principal train- ing period,” he said, “is limited, for the average trainee, to five and one- half months.” Gen, MacArthur said the plan “completely negatives any possibility of employing the army in aggressive action.” The regular force will oper- ate the training system for individuals, “insure continuous availability of & reasonably strong and highly trained military force” * * * and perform the police work hitherto carried out by the constabulery. Forty thousand reserves are to be trained each year. The defense system will entail a 10- year cost of $80,080,000, Gen. Mac- Arthur reported. Fleet Held Impracticable. A battle fleet, he added, “lies com- pletely outside the realm of practic- ability. “Hewever, the defense plan recog- hizes the vital needed for some marine and afr quipment, the war purpose of ‘which will be to deny the use of Philip- pine territorial waters to s _hostile Amaze Him By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. EDGEMOOR, Md., June 19.—Ama- teur horticulturists shook their heads in amazement today and then gazed agein at the delphiniums in thz den of Jo V. Morgan, well-known a torney and civic leader, Scores of freakish flowe:s, resem- bling the ordinary species only in beauty and general appearance, have climbed to astounding. heights and taken other surprisingly abnormal twists. Not only Morgan’s friends and neighbors are bewildered, but the at- at the turn things have taken. Here's Why. There are many reasons— ‘The average delphinium usually grows to & height of 6 or 7 feet. Mor- gan’s stand 8, while the king of them all majestically rears its head 2 feet higher. Ordinarily the spike, or long bloom, atop the flower is between a foot and a foot and a half in length. Those of Morgan's flowers are upwards of a yard long. Generally the bloom is blue. Mor- gan’s range from this hue to blue with pink centers, and the cclors of the tallest flower is even a gorgecus shade of lavender. ‘The stalks of ordinary elphiniums are about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, Morgan's are about a half inch. Single blooms are the rule. Those in the attorney’'s garden boast couble, even triple blooms. More Reasons. And that’s not all— The flower is said rarely to thrive in any climate other than that of New England, and seldom to live in the shade. Morgan's flowers, fringed by tower- ing trees, rarely are struck by the sun’s rays. The attorney, who lives at 5620 Moorland lane, is at a loss to explain his success. “I just planted them and there they are,” he said. Delphiniums bloom thrice yearly as a rule, but some of Morgan's friends are of the opinion his flowers are freaks that will expend their entire life in one bloom. Morgan's flowers already have proven the fallacy of this theory. how- ever. The 8-foot plants bloomed tkree times in 1935, and are out again. The torney himself admitted astonishment | Super Flowers of Maryland Attorney With Antics. Jo V.

MacArthur asserted. Three training planes already have been put into service at Camp Murphy, “to give pre- liminary pilot instruction to indi- viduals selected for complete training courses in the American Army at Ran- dolph Field, Tex.” Urges Dealings With U. S. The general also recommended that where home products, particularly weapons and ammunition, cannot be obtained locally, “the Philippine gov- ernment negotiate directly with the United States Government, rather than with private munitions makers. “Adherence to this practice will eliminate any suspicion that muni- tions makers are influencing the de- velopment of the defense system and will, moreover, in the average case, result in maximum economy.” In his letter making his military advisor a fleld marshal, Quezon spoke of Gen. MacArthur as deserving “the highest military rank known in inter- national usage.” He termed the gen- eral “one of the most famcu- ldiers of contemporary times.” fifty-three in this Congress (Continued Prom First Page.) for funds to finance the farm plans and the added cost of prepayment of the soldiers’ bonus. Two of the Senate conferees, Sen- ators George, Democrat, of Georgia and Walsh, Democrat, of Masgachu- setts, announced they would file a minority report attacking the andis- tributed profits tax as “discrimina- tory and injurious.” They said it favors businesses which have built up large surpluses and places additional | burdens on small concerns which “are the backbone of employment and | prosperity in every city and hamlet in the country.” Increase Rejected. The conference agreement revealed that the conferees had finally decided | to reject a Senate proposal to increase | the surtaxes on individual incomes. | The Senate proposal would have added 1 per cent to the surtaxes in brackets | between $6,000 and $50,000 and $440 to every surtax bracket above $50,000. This would have brought in an es- timated $50,000,000 in revenue, but the conferees deleted it on the ground the money would not be needed in view of the other provisions of the bill. Privately, some of the conferees | would be undesirable in a campaign year. Of the $800,000,000 estimated yield of the bill, the new corporation tax system was expected to raise the largest item. Supporters said it would bring in some $630,000,000. They also sald that $33,000,000 could be expected from changes in the taxation of profits realized in liquidation of holding companies, $20,000,000 from tightening provisions of existing law applying to “irrevoca- ble trusts,” $20,000,000 from reducing the tax exemption of intercorporate dividends from 90 to 85 per cent, $10,000,000 from import levies on fish and vegetable oils and $10,000,000 from miscellaneous tax alterations, New Star (Continued From First Page.) the constellations Cepheus and La Cefa in the Milky Way, directly over- head in the early morning, He said it was 4 degrees away—to the naked eye this would be the space occupied by 8 moons placed side by side—from another star that exploded similarly years ago. Discovery Reported. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 19 (#).— Astronomers in many parts of the world reported the discovery today of & nova, or new star, which has flared into sudden brilliance far away in interstellar space. Astronomers at Harvard and other observatories made hurried computa- tions of its motion and Harvard scientists said early studies indicated it was moving a thousand kilometers a second. The star appeared in the Milky Way, in the constellation of Cepheus. ‘To the naked eye, it seemed of me- dium Dbrightness—about halfway be- tween the faintest and brightest stars, Astronomers ranked it as of the third magnitude. The first report to reach Dr Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard Observatory, came from L. C. Peltier of Delphos, Ohio, a garage employe and one of the world’s most distinguished amateur astronomers. About the same time word of its dis- covery came from astronomers else- where, in Europe and America.
