AUSTRIA NAMES MILITIA LEADERS Model of U. S. National Guard Will Replace Pri- vate Armies. BY the Associated Press. VIENNA, November 6.—The Aus- trian government yesterday named Jocal commanders for a new “indus- trial militia,” modeled on the Amer- ican National Guard, to take the place of the disbanded privately owned armies. At the same time the 1937 budget submitted to the Diet asked an ap- propriation of 210,000,000 schillings ($39,060,000) for national defense— approximately 60 per cent more than was voted for the same purpose dur- ing the current year. The “industrial militia” was de- #igned to include most workers to insure peaceful operation of Austria’s factories. Members of the new army, planned ultimately to contain 100,000 military- trained civilians, will wear gray- green uniforms and jaunty little caps with feathers peeping through the band. —_— e — WIDE “BUMS’ BLOCKADE” FAVORED IN CALIFORNIA| Btate-Wide Patrol Against Influx of Idle Urged by Ten Counties. B the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, November 6.—A permanent State-wide patrol of the California border against penniless un- employed seeking a warmer climate in the Fall and Winter was favored today by representatives of 10 Southern Cali- fornia counties. Such a procedure—called by the angered Governor of an adjoining State “the bums’ blockade”—was used 1ast Winter by the Los Angeles police’s *“foreign legion” and this Fall vagrants In the city were rounded up. Yesterday the permanent patrol was recommended by sheriffs and super- visors who will meet here again Sat- urday to perfect plans. ‘The officials also adopted a resolu- tion urging that the State Relief Ad- ministration establish work camps where convicted vagrants can be housed and compelled to work on roads and forestation projects. THE EVENING STAR Gopher Senator-Elect Out On Day Congress Convenes MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.,, November 6 (N.AN.A).—Historians on Capitol Hill in Washington had better sharpen their pencils. For out of the wide open spaces of Minnesota is coming a United States Senator who promises to “rock the Nation” with his pro- posals. He is tall, rangy Guy V. Howard, a genial Republican who came out of the November 3 Democratic landslide smiling, and with the title of Senator before his name. To the tens of thousands of voters who cast their ballots for him, this cagey, 6-foot Irish-Yankee is known today as the tall Senator with the short term—a term that expires Jan- uary 4, 1937, But his constituents—he has them in all parties—need hold no fear that their favorite son will be handicapped by lack of time, Howard demonstrated his ability as a campaigner by literally creating the short United States Senate term the day the filings closed for Minnesota's 1936 primary election. Today he was ready to “strut his stuff as a statemen”—a statesman eager to speak for the people and give the taxpayers a “few laughs for a change.” Not to Make Speech. He'll never be given the ppportunity to make a speech on the floor of the Senate, for that body will not con- vene until the day his term expires. And the chances are about & thou- sand to one that he’ll never have a chance to sit down at the conference table with fellow Senators. But he doesn’t mind a bit. The other Senators are getting “a bad break,” and not him. They are going to miss something, he insists, that will never again be repeated in Washington. And while they're out yelling them- selves hoarse for their favorite foot ball team, Senator Howard “will be busy making the headlines.” He got a swell start today by asking Uncle Sam to pay for a special train of 15 cars to haul his friends to ‘Washington. “I think I'm entitled to it,” he said. “Why, heck, Landon had & special train and went sightseeing all over the country—and he didn't even win. “I think Minnesota's a better State than Kansas and I've proven that I'm a better man than Alf. My State is a great farming State, but down in PAINT KEADQUARTERS SINCE WASHINGTON D. C, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6, 1936. Kansas they haven't much except & 3 ‘Two channels for the Upper Mis- LAUNDRY TRUCK THIEF Jot of dead sunflowers, sand hills and half-starved grasshoppers.” Gets Salary and Staff. As the short-term Senator, How- ard will draw a salary of $1,666 and will get an allowance to hire a secre- tary, two clerks and a couple of stenographers—employes who prob- ably will never turn a hand. In addition to that, he will have a large suite of offices and franking privileges. He intends to take full ad- vantage of the latter by catching up on “official business letters.” And the Senator isn’t without a program, either. Today he advocated “bigger and better shade trees for W. P. A. work- ers,” artificial moons to be used on cloudy nights and ultra violet ray lamps for trees planted in the shelter belt. “I think, too,” he sald, “that Uncle Sam should pick better-looking men for the P. W, A. jobs near the high- ways. They could throw kisses to women motorists and pose for some of the W. P. A. sculptors at the same time.” Other planks in his platform call for the following: > N R 1888 don’t GAMBLE with For Most paints look alike . . difference there really is! every purpose | . but what a vast |i When you apply VALSPAR you not only protect and beautify the surface, but you are assured of longer wear, mo peeling or cracking « « « and greater value!
