BRITAIN STIFFENS - ON REICH VIEWS Eden’s Speech Comes as Italy Gives Up Plan for Four-Power Pact. BY the Associated Press. Great Britain stiffened toward Ger- many today and Italy gave up her plans for a four-power pact with Ger- many, Britain and France. Spanish intervention problems mounted. In Spain, itself, Fascist air bombers killed 20 or more Madrilenos. Italians, holding fast to their new German alliance, decided Spanish tension, Prance’s insistence on retain- ing her Soviet alliance, and British reluctance had killed the idea of a four-power accord which they hoped would combat communism. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden’s British House of Commons speech was interpreted as refusing responsibility for a Fascist-Communist showndown and putting Europe’s future. up to Germany. Berlin called the speech “untimely” and unfair. Portugal turned down a scheme to have international observers on her Bpanish border to curb war shipments to the fighters. New German and Italian expressions on the question of stopping Spanish volunteers were awaited by the British. An Italian government spokesman reiterated Italo-German willingness to accept international control of volun- teers. But he said the two nations would insist that such “indirect inter- vention” as alleged bolshevist propa- ganda and financial aid to the Spanish government cease forthwith. SIT-DOWN STRIKE HALTS TIRE PLANT Cumberland Labor Trouble Throws 1,200 Employes Out of Work. BY the Associated Press. CUMBERLAND, Md., January 20.— A “sit-down” strike at the Kelly- Springfield Tire Co.’s plant here threw approximately 1,200 employes out of work today. Production at the plant was halted. The sit-down originated after the 11 o'clock shift reported for work last night. The shift remained idle and production in the drum tire department stopped. Other depart- ments in the factory joined the strike and between 300 and 400 men re- mained in the building today. Employes reporting at 7 a.m. were told the plant will be closed until further notice. The gates were locked and the men returned to their homes. No pickets were on duty near the plant and no disorder was reported.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 20.—Under cross-examination in the $12,900 ex- tortion trial of two alleged ‘“shake- down” experts Alfred E. Smith, jr., son of the former Governor of New York, testified today that he was “able to navigate” after a cocktail party that led up to a rendezvous with his blond ex-companion, Catherine Pgv- lick. Mrs. Betty Smith, young Smith's wife, who received a separation de- cre¢ from him last Saturday, was present in the court room as the case proceeded against A. Henry Ross, Brooklyn lawyer, and Max D.

About an hour and a half before the President was scheduled to take his oath approximately a thousand persons, shielded from the driving rain by umbrellas and newspapers, sur- rounded the area in front of the East plaza of the Capitol. There were less | than a half dozen, however, in the reserved seat section. Most of them were women. The first person to brave the rain and take their seats in the exposed reserved seat section were Mrs. A. W. Barber of Denver, Colo., and Col. G. Kent, U. §. A, who is on duty in Wash- ington. By 11 o'clock the crowd at the Capi- tol had increased perceptibly. Men, women and even small children over- flowing the roped-off sidewalk in front of the Capitol into the park facing the Congressional Library. Seats erected on top of the Senate and House wings of the Capitol were unoccupied until 11 o'clock. At that time one man and a woman were seen |in the temporary stands on the roof of the House The water was at least a half inch lcrowd around the Capitol grew, as Capitol steps, came out from the shelter as the band played.

The late arrivals obviously were wise enough to remain at home until the last minute. Ordinarily, however, the crowds at past inaugural ceremonies at the Capitol have been at least five times larger in size. ‘The reserve seat section, however, was only two-thirds full. Some of the guests stomped their feet to keep warm. Others milled around and those who were brave enough to sit on the wet bench seats shivered as the water trickled down their backs.

Seven or Eight Drinks. ‘The former Governor’s son said that during the party he had seven or eight more drinks, afid that Miss Pavlick had three or four. “Was she drunk when you and she left the party?” Robert H. Elder, de- fense attorney, asked. “Not real drunk,” S8mith answered, “but when she hit the air it kind of took effect on her.” “How did hitting the air affect you?” “I was able to navigate,” Smith said.

Garner Arrives Late. ‘With nearly all seats occupied, Vice President Garner stepped onto the platform more than 20 minutes late. The Marine Band struck up “Hail to the Chief” as the President walked | out five minutes later. The first cheer rolled up as the President reached the front of the platform, but it lasted only a minute. Senate Chaplain Dr. Ze Barney T.| Phillips delivered the invocation and immediately afterward Senate Leader Robinson administered the oath to Vice President Garner. Shivering and red of face, Garner told friends it would be his last oath of office. Mr. Roosevelt spoke quickly as the rain seemed to increase in intensity. ‘The crowd was disappearing rapidly, but another burst of applause greeted his assertion that the Nation proposed to paint out the “cancer of injustice.” He finished at 12:47 p.m., and, after the Right Rev. John A. Ryan had given the benediction, the Marine Band played “The Star Spangled Banner.” Crowd Disperses Rapidly. The President waved to the crowd, | turned and walked slowly into the Capitol. Hurriedly, those who had Temained to the end dispersed, leav- ing by street car, taxicabs and on foot. Several members of Congress, diplo- mats and other distinguished guests, shaking from the chilling cold, al- ready had departed, apparently de- ciding on a policy of health first. So intense was the rain that even those under the protected section held umbrellas and still got. wet. Ap- parently there wasn't a dry spot on the whole plaza. Newspaper reporters found it impossible to keep notes and even the news reel men were hard put to protect their €quipment. The reserved seat section remained almost unoccupied until about 11:30, and then it sudenly began to fill. Beyond the reserved seat section, on the Capitol Plaza, stretching out across the park toward the Congressional Li- brary, were thousands of other per- sons. Practically all were huddled un Build Strength and Senate wings. Bandsmen Stand in Rain. Primptly at 11:30 a.m., the United States Marine Band, headed by Capt. ‘Taylor Branson, took its position on a raised platform, directly under the presidential stand. The bandsmen stood in the downpour and water dripped down their instruments. By that time the throng around the Capitol had increased to several thou- sands. The seats in the reserve sec- tion, however, were only partly filled. Most of the spectators stood, prefer- ring this to seats on the water-soaked benches. Persons who had stood in the driving rain for several hours were shivering in the cold.

TWA Points the Way It is significant that whatever is new and better in aviation usually makes its first appearance on TWA planes. The current national acclaim of the “Homing Radio Direction Finder” and Anti-Storm Static Radio—exclusive with TWA—are but the latest of a long list of TWA contributions to the advancement of aviation. TWA led 5 o di its efficiency in bed weather tone E all airlines in equiping every plane with de-icers to prevent-ice formation; in re- quiring dual radio receivers and trans- mitters; air brakes or wing flaps, which reduce landing speed, and Automatic Gy- roscopic Pilots, which fly the plane, main- tain its course and altitude and permit pilots to devote adequate time to scientific navigation. It is a known fact in the air transport industry that TWA spends more time and money on efperimental and de- velopment work and sets the most rigid standards for pilots, planes, engines maintenance and service of any airline in America. In addition, the shorter route, faster schedules, lower fares and perfect per- sonal service of TWA will make every moment of your journey a pleasure. e ines in the United iyen TWA engineer'o€ " device in 80 . lanuary 13, 1937 o safety © TRANSCONTINENTAL & WESTERN AIR, INC. 1381 Nat’l Press Bldg.
