PAIN IS DECLARED - SOURGE OF GENIUS Lord Tweedsmuir Says Few - Historical Figures Were Normal People. 85 the Associated Press. OTTAWA, November 2.—Medical eircles pondered today the “pain- born genius” theory advanced by Lord Tweedsmuir, governor general of Canada, who declared “very few of the great figures of history were healthy and normal people.” Citing what he described as “a pathological side to almost every fa- mous historical figure,” Lord Tweeds- muir told the Royal College of Physi~ cians and Surgeons of Canada: “Most of these famous figures did their work under grave physical handicaps for which there was no medical relief. Caesar Had Epilepsy. “You had Julius Caesar with his mysterious epilepsy. You had Rob- ert Bruce with a painful skin disease. You had Cromwell with some kind of =pleen trouble. You had Walter Scott with gall stones.” He said the late Lawrence of Arabia, his old friend, had told him bodily pain was a real stimulant and claimed half his inspiration in his celebrated war-time exploits in Arabia lay in the fact he was struggling all the time with pain and sickness. At the same time, however, Lord ‘Tweedsmuir emphasized his belief that while pain may lead to genius, medi- cine has brought humanity a “clear gain” by conquering much of the pain and sickness which, in the past, ac- companied “some of the chief work of the world, both in action and thought.” Pain Causes Confusion. “Pain may be a stimulant to the mind,” he said, “but it is a source of confusion and bewilderment. It blurs the perspective, obscures the sense of proportion and disturbs the balance. If we can get rid of it, we prepare the way for a more level Judgment and a saner perspective.” Chaotic public problems today, he said, demand “far less the inspir tion of genius than patience, equanim- ity and sound judgment in the or- dinary man. Above all, what is needed is a steady balance and stal- wart common sense.” Lord Tweedsmuir, known both as an historian and novelist, received honorary fellowships in medicine and surgery in company with Dr. Henry Christian, Hersey professor of phys- fes at Harvard University, Saturday | night.

HALLOWEEN SLAS OF DICTATORSHIP VICTIM RECOVERING President Has Indicated Aim, Declares Ex-Senator, on'Radio. BY the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, November 32.— James A. Reed, former Senator, said last night in a radio address that President Roosevelt “undoubtedly thinks” he has the right “by direc- tion or indirection to make himself dictator.” “All of these fine promises he is making,” sald Reed, “are but & sugar coating for the carrying forward of policies which mean the destruction of American life and civilization as we have known ft.” The former Democratic Senator from Missouri devoted much of his address to a review of the admin- istration’s activities, and declared the money “wasted by Tugwell would almost pay for the Panama Canal.” “For one thing we should be thank- ful,” Reed said. “Roosevelt, last night, lifted his mask and plainly disclosed his purpose to fasten the New Deal, the A. A. A. and all his other policies upon the country permanently. “In the broadést possible manner,” he continued, “he indicated his pur- pose to make this country a Com- munistic state, and to bring every class of citizen under direct govern- mental control.” “In view of the threatening speech made by Mr. Roosevelt, there can be no doubt as to his purpose, and if he shall have his way there is. not a liberty we cherish, not a right we possess which may not be taken away,” Reed said. “This man undoubtedly thinks that he has the right to impose his will upon the people of this land and by direction or indirection to make him- self dictator.” Referring to what he termed Roose- velt's “attacks” upon the Supreme Court, Reed said these “not only had their effect upon the turbulent and lawless portions of society, but they were 30 widespread among the New Dealers that they penetrated the Na- | tional Democratic Committee.” “That body,” he continued, “is di- rectly responsible for the suggestion that the Supreme Court ought to ‘s> intimidated by having set up in front of the Supreme Court Building, the guillotine on which Louis XVI| of France was executed.” Declaring that the man who votes ! for Roosevelt tomorrow “knows, or | ought to know, that he is voting to overturn our entire economic and po- | litical life,” Reed said. “He must! business, including farming, in a| Government straightjacket, and nec- | essarily to destroy that individual, liberty of aspiration, of enterprise ! and of opportunity which was estab- | lished by the Constitution. * * [ 615 12th St. Bet.

The assault occurred, aceording to police, while Mrs. Tucker and John Russo, 27, of 2524 L street, a friend, were waiting for the woman’s husband to get off from work at a nearby filing station, ‘The colored youths became angered when Russo and Mrs, Tucker remons- trated with them for rubbing sosp on the car windows and hammering on the side of the machine, Russo chased the colored youths for several blocks after being cut on the hand by the same youth who attacked Mrs, Tucker. Physicians said the wound on Mrs. Tucker’s throat was a long one, but not deep enough to be critical. But for one other incident—the fatal stabbing of Sidney Thompson, 32, col- ored—there were no serious Halloween casualties. ‘Thompson was stabbed in the chest when a fight ensued after a colored youth snatched a plate of fruit from his hand at a party in the 600 block of K street southwest.

Did the cost stop there? Possibly not in all cases. Every cold is dan- gerous, and none should be neglected. At the very first sign of a cold—at the first sneeze or nasal congestion— start taking Father John's Medicine regularly. In 9 cases out of 10, by actual clinical tests, Dr. Frederic Damrau, New York, proved that Father John's Medicine shortens the duration of colds.

James Senator from Missouri, continued his attack with a charge that President Roosevelt thinks he has the right to “make himself dictator”; Henry Ford declared the ‘“chief beneficiaries of the New Deal have been the bankers”; Father Charles E. Coughlin called Mr. Roosevelt the “upstart President” and the “reviver of the heresy of the divine right of kings.” A pro-New Dealer, Representative Jones, Democrat, of Texas, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, | tleclared, “I am convinced agriculture will stand by the President, which means the Roosevelt administration will win.” John Cudahy, Ambassador to Po- land, praised New Deal foreign policy es an ‘“outstanding” contribution to world peace, With these and other parting shots today and tonight, the campaigners prepared to wait with intense ex- citement for the voters’ verdict on ‘a campaign which has ranged over a tremendous assortment of issues. ‘What meaning may be read into a marked jump in the number of regis- tered voters is a question on which there have been many conflicting opinions. Unofficial estimates have placed registrations at 55,427,000, a boost of 8,527,000 as compared with 1932, Campaign Expenses Hit High. Latest figures bore out previous assertions that the campaign would be the costliest in history. Expendi- tures reported to date have been more than $13,000,000. The big vote indicated may make the returns later than usual. More- over, in New York State, one of the Btates often pivotal in the past, re- turns are sure to be later than here- tofore, because the poll closing - time has been extended three hours, from 6 pm. to 9 pm. Besides the Republican and Demo- cratic standard bearers, other nomi- nees continued active last night. Rep- resentative Lemke, Union party, placed before a North Dakota audience & proposal for a vast reclamation project. Dr. P. E. Townsend, reiterating sup- port for Lemke, asked his followers again to vote for Landon in States ‘where Lemke is not on the ballot.
