ROGERS
BEVERLY HILLS.—Well all I know
Is just what I read In the papers. Did
I ever tell you about the time I sailed
Into the beautiful
Pacific Ocean?
Well, pull up some
pineapple crates
there mates and I
will tell you.
There had been
quite an argument
in the Rogers Fam-
ily as to the shape
of the W^rld. The
Stanford Sweater
ne, ho is kinder
the brains of the or-
ganization. Re rid
the world was round. I contended that
it was flat, the same as everything
else now. Not being a horse connected
in. the argument in any way, the
younger one took no interest at ,all. So
we made a bet, and we says well we will
sail into the setting sun, and we will
keep sailing into the setting sun. And
if we land back into Santa Monica the
boy is right. But if "we go “Flat” before
we get around, then I am right.
He was still in a military camp
R.O.T.C.up at Monterey Cal. and dident
get out for another week. Well the rest
of us couldent wait. We had our tickets
and were just walking up and down the
platform, so the Mama, the other bo-
hunk, and myself got the idea that we
better get out now, or the studio would
be liable to have some retakes.
They then hadent shown the picture,
and I figured it was better to escape be-
fore they did. There is nothing that can
make a picture worse than re-takes.
Its generally bad enough the first time,
and its better to let it go at that. Some-
times we retake scenes to what we call
“Clear up a Sitiation”. But its never
known to the audience that we did it.
Its just as confusing to them as it would
have been in the first take. Then if its
for the “Acting”, there is no use to re-
take it for that. You cant learn to act
in that short a time. About the only
thing you can do -with a picture after
you finished it is to run it, and
then take out every third reel. That
will do more to satisfy an audience
than anything I know of. The third
and sixth reels are the ones they gen-
erally get muddled up over. But you
get them out and you generally got a
pretty clean fast running picture.
You see we take scenes where we go
In one door and come out on the other
side with another suit on. Or maby
with our hat in our hand where it was
on our heads. Well we know that, but
we do that to see if they are paying
attention. Now if they dont notice that,
and we dont get letters, why we know
that they were asleep, or that they did-
ent go to the picture at all. But if we
get letters, why that tickles., us to
death. We know that they are right
with us. That they have seen the pic-
ture, and that they are awake, and fol-
lowing the story every minute. It
shows that we got their interest.
An audience loves to pick out things,
and I tell you it keeps us all worrying
to get em little new things and ideas
to pick out. Now take scenes where a
horse has quite a lot to do. We may
use five or six different horses in that
picture, one to jump the fence, another
that will open the gate, another that
will make a wild run down hill. An-
other just for the close ups. But that
dont do a bit of good, an audience
wont pay a bit of attention to it, and
wont write us a single letter about it,
till somebody conceived the idea of
having one of the horses white and the
other black. Then they picked out a
little thing like
that right away.
But that one was
big and one was lit-
tle never seem to
interest em. They
just sleep right
through that. So it
just keeps a direc-
tor worried pretty
near nuts to think
up something sub
tie like that, that
they will keep their
minds on. I tell you
this thing of trying to keep the world
amused is a tough job.
And now that they are cleaning
everything up so, its making it worse
still. Now they wont pay any attention
to em at all, no matter how many mis-
takes we put in. I hope the whole thing
clears up before I get back. In fact
thats why I sorter had to duck out was
to let this morality wave kinder blow
over.
Well anyhow its good to get away
from it all for awhile. Maby they will
get onto something else by the time I
get back. We are a people that dont
stay with one thing very long. We
stayed with the Republicans longer
than we ever did with anybody else,
but that taught us a lesson, and we
will see that that dont happen again.
So here we go steaming into the beau-
tiful Pacific Ocean.

George W.
Rogers
EARLY always In the case of a
■tN marine disaster persons come for-
ward with accusations of negligence
and misbehavior on the part of the
officers and crew of
the vessel concerned.
This is true now of
the Morro Castle, the
Ward liner which
burned eight miles off
the New. Jersey coast
with a loss of 135
lives.
The Morro Castle,
large, swift, and lux-
urious in its appoint-
ments, was returning
from a seven - day
cruise to Havana.
The ship’s master, Capt. Robert Wil-
mot't, had died of heart disease only
a few hours before the tragedy, and
William F. Warms, chief officer, was
in command. With 12 other officers
and members of the crew he stood by
the blazing ship until the hulk was
towed to Asbury Park and beached.
Several of the surviving passengers
testified before the federal steamboat
inspection board that no alarm was
sounded and little or no aid was given
panic-stricken passengers by the mem-
bers of the crew. Then George W. Rog-
ers, chief radio operator, and his first
assistant, George I. Alagna, told of
the delay in sending out the SOS call,
asserting they could not obtain an or-
der for it from the bridge. This, of
course, was explained by the usual re-
luctance of steamship officers to call
for help because the salvage charges
are heavy. Alagna was put under ar-
rest as a material witness after he had
told his story to a federal grand jury.
The value of his testimony was some-
what lessened by Rogers’ admission to
both the board and the grand jury that
Alagna had been distrusted by Captain
Wilmott as a radical and an agitator,
and that Alagna some months ago tried
to instigate a riot on the ship as a pro-
test against the food served the crew.
The first actual evidence indicating
that the fire was of incendiary origin
was furnished by Quartermaster Gus
Harmon.
“It was like the flash of a 16-inch
gun,” he declared. “It couldn’t have
been gasoline because it traveled much
faster. It might have been some sort
of chemical, all of which would light
up when one point of it started. There
was a funny, acrid smoke coming out
of the flash.”
Other officers of the ship testified
that they believed the fire was of
Incendiary origin and was fed by
gasoline or chemicals, but they could
suggest no motive for such a horrible
crime. Acting Captain Warms said he
based his opinion that the blaze was
incendiary on two facts: First, be-
cause on August 27, on a previous voy-
age to Havana, there was a suspicious
blaze in the No. 5 hold; second, be-
cause reports to him indicated that
the writing room locker, in which the
fatal fire started, exploded. The flames,
he explained further, acted “like gaso-
line or kerosene,” and fire extinguish-
ers had no effect on them.
The chief of the secret police in
faavana declares the burning of the
Morro Castle was an act of sabotage
by members of a secret international
maritime association that takes its
orders from the Communists of Mos-
cow.
#-y'HE International Typographical
A union, in convention at Chicago, de-
feated a proposal by delegates repre-
senting local No. 6 of New York- for
a four day thirty hour week, to be
optional with each local by a referen-
dum vote. Charges were made that the
plan had been instigated by Commun-
ists in control of the New Yox-k local,
•who are seeking to wreck the interna-
tional organization and vilify its of-
ficers.
The accusation was denied by the
president of the local, which has a
membership of 10,500 union printers
in New York. Other delegates sup-
plied the convention with circulars
setting forth the charges of communis-
tic interference.
1TFFORTS of President Roosevelt’s
mediation board to bring about a
peaceful settlement of the textile strike
failed when the employers, according
to the board, refused to make any con-
cessions that would open the way to
arbitration. The strike leaders had in-
sisted that all the mills must remain
closed pending arbitration, and this
was rejected by the mill owners. The
cotton textile employers then declared
flatly that they did not believe the is-
sues at stake are “appropriate subjects
for arbitration.”
The immediate result of this break-
down in negotiations was the resump-
tion of violence and disorder, especial-
ly In Rhode Island. Thousands of
strikers and their sympathizers fought
with National Guard detachments in
Saylesville and Woonsocket, driving
back the greatly outnumbered soldiers.
Tear gas, nausea gas and finally bul-
lets were used to check the rioters and
many persons were wounded, some fa-
tally. Governor Green made conces-
sion* to the Saylesville strikers and
ordered that there should be no more
shooting. But at Woonsocket condi-
tions grew momentarily worse and the
police commissioner of the city asked
the governor to obtain federal troops
to stop the ■ rioting. The major in
command of the National Guardsmen
there admitted the situation was out
of control. Great crowds were looting
shops in the downtown section and oth-
ers were threatening the Woonsocket
Rayon company’s plant.
Fearing major bloodshed and death,
Governor Green read the riot act and
asked President Thomas F. McMahon
of the United Textile Workers of Amer-
ica to hasten there from Washington.
The governor also ordered the mobili-
zation of 1,000 World war veterans and
a statewide roundup of Communist agi-
tators.
Explaining the employers’ refusal to
compromise, the cotten textile code au-
thority pointed out that the hours and
wages and other conditions against
which the union is striking are set
forth in an NRA code. This code, the
employers say, was set up to be the
“law merchant” for the industry, and
the strike, therefore, is an attempt to
change the industrial law by violence
and intimidation.
STOUR members of the Du Pont
I1 family, Pierre, Irenee, Felix and
Lammot, appeared before the senate
munitions inquiry committee and told
of the huge business the Du Pont
corporation has done in supplying war
material. Between 1914 and 1918 the
company, which was founded in 1802
to manufacture black powder, filled
$1,245,000,000 worth of war orders. In
that time it did about 35 times the
business it had in the year just be-
fore the World war, when its sales
amounted to $36,000,000.
Irenee du Pont testified that the
corporation subscribed to preferred
stock in the German dye patents seized
during the war by the United States.
He said these patents had resulted in
a “great service” to America. The
corporation entered the dye business
after the war as a licensee of the
Chemical foundation, Du Pont said.
There did not seem to be anything
very sensational or scandalous in the
facts elicted from the Du Ponts, but
previous witnesses had told a lot about
the deals of airplane companies and
other corporations with foreign na-
tions in which it was alleged they had
been aided by United States diplo-
mats and army and navy officers. There
was a lot, too, about graft on the
part of South American government
officials. One of the stories told
brought In the name of King George
of England, and this resulted in of-
ficial protests by British diplomats
both in Washington and in London.
Just what Senator Nye and his com-
mittee expect to do with the informa-
tion they are gathering is not certain.
There are suggestions of government
ownership or at least government con-
trol of all war munition manufactur-
ing and selling. Plenty of evidence was
brought out to prove that the makers
of these wares sell to both sides in
warfare.

ket investigation internal revenue
agents were charged with “laxity in
~ enforcement” for ac-
!|§r cepting, without ex-

p returns prepared by
J- P. Morgan & Co.
W [ \ The committee pre-
sented a long review
of evidence that offi-
cials of the Morgan
company, Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., and the Na-
tional City bank of
New York “avoided”
income taxes by “a
variety of methods.”
“Many returns, particularly of part-
ners in large banking houses, were
exempted from adequate scrutiny,” the
committee said.
“When examinations were made the
time devoted to them was compara-
tively short, in view of the wealth of
the taxpayers and the complex nature
of their transactions.
“Thus, in 1936, according to the bu-
reau’s own records, one day was spent
in checking the partnership return of
J. P. Morgan & Co. and Drexel & Co.
—the most powerful banking group in
the world.
“This return was not subjected to
any field examination and apparently
the agent’s explanation was sufficient
to satisfy the internal revenue bureau
that none was necessary.”
O ECONSTRUCTION Finance cor-
■tv poration announced a new $100,-
000,000 corn loan program. Farmers
will be offered loans on corn of any
crop year at the rate of 55 cents a
bushel by the Commodity Credit cor-
poration, the RFC disclosed. The RFC
has turned over $100,000,000 to the
commodity corporation, which is really
a branch of the RFC, for the carrying
out of the program. States included
in the new loan plan are Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Min-
nesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and
Colorado.
OENATOR HUEY LONG won han-
O dily in his fight for absolute con-
trol of Louisiana, his candidates for
congress, state supreme court and
public service commissioner defeating
those of the “old guard.” The election
was quite peaceful despite the pre-
dictions of bloody “civil war.” The
Kingfish is now expected to press his
investigation of graft and corruption
in the affairs of Ne\y Orleans and to
undertake to have his arch enemy,
Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, ousted
from office through action by the leg-
islature, which he controls. Huey Is
now the virtual dictator of the state,
but his opponents have not given up
the fight.
XTEW DEALERS rejoiced in the re-
-*- ’ suits of the Maine election,
though their victory was incomplete.
Gov. Louis J. Brann, Democrat, was
re-elected by a substantial majority
over the Republican candidate, Alfred
K. Ames, a wealthy and aged retired
lumberman. Senator Frederick Hale,
veteran Republican, was returned to
the upper house for his fourth term,
but his majority over F. Harold Du-
bord, dynamic Democratic nominee,
was so slender that Hale must have
felt rather humiliated. The New Deal-
ers won two of the three congressional
seats.
William A. Comstock lost the Demo-
cratic nomination to succeed himself
as governor of Michigan, being defeat-
ed by Arthur J. Lacey. The Repub-
licans named Frank B. Fitzgerald, now
secretary of state.
In South Carolina the textile strike
injected Itself into the election. In a
runoff election Olin D. Johnston, union
sympathizer and former mill hand, won
the Democratic nomination over Cole
Blease.
In Arizona the Democrats renomi-
nated Senator Ashurst and Congress-
man-at-large Isabella Greenway. The
New Dealers tried to get the guberna-
torial nomination in Colorado for Miss
Josephine Roach, coal mine operator
and social worker, but she was beaten
by Edward C. Johnson, the incumbent.
In Washington, also, the New Dealers
lost out when J. C. Stephenson was de-
feated by Lewis Schwellenbach for the
Democratic senatorial nomination.
/'QUARTERLY financial reports from
V© the national committees show
that between June 1 and September 1
the Republican receipts were $105,078
and the Democrats collected $121,088.
Republican expenditures aggregated
$149,920 and Democratic outlays were
$108,337. The Republican deficit was
fixed at $81,435, against Democratic
unpaid obligations of $497,959.
Among the generous contributors to
the Democratic fund were Col. Jacob
Ruppert, George F. Trommer and Wil-
liam Piel of New York and Fred
Pabst of Milwaukee, all identified with
the brewing industry. Irenee and Lam-
mot Du Pont and their associates gave
largely to the Republican fund.
XJATIONWIDE distribution has been
started on a poster pledging the
public to support Blue Eagle business
establishments. Four inches square, it
is gummed for pasting in windows.
Code authorities and local NRA com-
mittees are counted upon to aid its
distribution.
This agitation is to accompany the
temporary internal reorganization of
the recovery administration, as decid-
ed upon by President Roosevelt and
Hugh S. Johnson, the NRA adminis-
trator.
Authority is to be split three ways
instead of the present one-man con-
trol. General Johnson is expected to
continue in an important post. Sepa-
rate agencies will be in charge of
policy-framing, administration, and de-
ciding controversies.
TF YOU can believe the foreign office
A in Tokio, Japan is ready to scrap
all powerful weapons of offense and
is likely to propose, at the forthcom-
ing naval reduction conference, the
abolition of battleships and plane car-
riers.
“It is not Japan’s intention to enter
a naval competition which will result
in an increase in armaments and heav-
ier burdens for the people of the
world,” the foreign office spokesman
said. “Our plan is to have a navy
insufficient for offensive purposes but
sufficient for defense. We hope others
also will work towards this end.”
1ITHEN the League of Nations met
VV in Geneva an invitation to Russia
to join the league was circulated,
signed and sent to Moscow. The coun-
cil then announced that an accord had
been reached to grant Russia a per-
manent seat on the council, and it was
expected that only Portugal and Ar-
gentina would continue to oppose this.
Richard Sandler of Sweden was
elected president of the league assem-
bly by an almost unanimous vote.
Poland gave a jolt to the league by
announcing that it will no longer abide
by the general treaty for the protection
of minority peoples. Joseph Beek,
foreign minister, told the assembly
that until all states protect the rights
of minorities Poland would refuse any
control by an international organism
of its treatment of minority groups.
✓CATHERINE BRESHKOVSAKAYA,
“grandmother of the Russian rev-
olution,” died at her home near
Prague. During most of the ninety
years of her life she struggled to free
Russia and she spent 23 years in exile
in Siberia. Her contribution toward
the downfall of the Romanoffs was
considerable.
rjiROM the American Federation of

National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckatt
j
Washington.—I heard a middle-
western business man say on a visit
to Washington the
Tariff other day that there
Negotiations was one thing about
the new deal which
made him feel at home. His visit was
in connection with some of the State
department negotiations for new tariff
treaties with foreign countries. He
spent several days in those discus-
sions, and the nature of the conver-
sations was such, he observed later,
that he felt a conservative tinge re-
mained In the new deal.
Cordell Hull, secretary of state, and
perhaps one of the most thorough stu-
dents of tariff questions, recently de-
scribed the tariff bargaining negotia-
tions as “stepping backward” to what
he considers as a sound basis for solu-
tion of tariff problems. Mr. Hull
always has favored low tariff rates,
but from all of the information com-
ing out of the tariff negotiations, it is
made to appear that the secretary of
state is willing to see some high tariff
rates established where those rates do
not engender retaliatory action on the
part of foreign governments with the
result that a high tariff wall sur-
rounds the several nations.
The observation of the middle-west-
erner, therefore, must be accepted as
some reassurance. It is undoubtedly
true that there are many manufactur-
ing interests in this country who are
figuratively scared to death over the
prospects of the administration’s tariff
treaty program. Nevertheless, there
are factors influencing the results of
the various negotiations which, many
observers believe, will react to the
benefit of American industries long
used to high tariff protection.
This does not mean that the new
rates worked out by the negotiators
are going to be comparable in any
way to the Fordney-McCumber or the
Hawley-Smoot rates. I am informed
also that it does not mean the new
rates applying between individual coun-
tries that are now parties to the new
treaties will be comparable to the low
rates of the Underwood tariff bill. In
other words, while I am not making
the statement that the new rates will
be applied scientifically, I feel that the
opportunity is available for establish-
ment of sound as well as scientific
tariff charges.
The progress of the negotiations has
been accompanied by the usual amount
of alarm that always
Arouses occurs when states-
Usual Alarm men are tinkering
with the tariff. I hear
talk, however, purely from a political
standpoint, that the administration
would not dare to frighten business
generally just in advance of an elec-
tion. There have been too many de-
mands for reassuring statements from
the administration, something on which
business would feel free to proceed, to
cause administration spokesmen to take
such a chance at this time.
It is to be recalled in this connec-
tion that the Treasury has been smil-
ing on prospective bond buyers by
making guarded statements that there
will be no early inflationary steps. In
addition, the National Recovery Ad-
ministration virtually has abandoned
Its “crack down” policy and the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
has said in several languages lately
that crop restriction will not be as
rigid next year. It would seem, there-
fore, that the whole movement is just
a little bit to the conservative side,
but, as has been suggested, this may
be due to the forthcoming election.
Whether that is correct only time will
tell.
Beyond the superficial election appeal
of assurance on tariff questions, how-
ever, there certainly is a feeling in
Washington that Mr. Hull can travel a
long way in working out the tariff
problems if he is permitted to do so.
It is to be remembered always that a
thousand and one influences are
brought to bear any time an adminis-
tration seeks to revise the tariff. It
does appear, though, that the various
committees working under Mr. Hull’s
direction are examining each case on
its merits. Of course the conclusions
they reach will not satisfy everybody;
no tariff rates can perform that func-
tion, and there will be much wailing
and gnashing of teeth before it is all
over; but if there is anything in pros-
pects, the current prospects seem to
hold forth more hope for a reasonable
adjustment of tariff questions than
have appeared on the horizon for some
time.
Mr. Hull has been discreetly vague
in enunciating his policies and has not
given business generally a definite idea
what measuring rod he is using. It is
assumed in many quarters that he will
employ something of the same policy
used in his pronouncements in the
world economic conference in Monte-
video last fall. In these pronounce-
ments Mr. Hull suggested that tariff
protection ought to be extended to
commodities the importation of which
is less than 5 per. cent of domestic
consumption. He also suggested that
there was no sound excuse for main-
taining a high rate of protection for
industries which, as he said, had such
protection “for a considerable period
of time” and had not been able
under that protection to develop, their
production to the point where the out-
put amounted to less than 15 per cent
of the amount of such commodity con-
sumed in this country.
Lately Mr. Hull has made some
statements which indicate retention of
the earlier pronouncements as his
guide. He contended recently, for in-
stance, that the application of these
principles could hardly be said to con-
stitute a crippling factor upon any
major industrial enterprise in this
country. That is, he said, the minor
groups who had failed to develop behind
a wall of tariff protection should not
longer expect to be milk fed. At least
that is the Construction placed upon
his words.
* * *
Treasury experts have gone to work
in preparation of a new tax bill. I
reported to you a
Prepare New month ago that this
Tax Bill could not be avoided.
The question now is
how much revenue will the adminis-
tration attempt to raise.
At the outset it must be remem-
bered that there are tax levies raising
approximately five hundred million
dollars annually due to terminate next
year. This revenue must be replaced.
But there is much more money needed,
because the program of spending our
way out of the depression probably
will be expanded during the coming
winter.
Secretary Morgenthau will have the
benefit of reports of his own experts
and of a study under way by a special
subcommittee of the house of repre-
sentatives. He also will have the bene-
fit of a survey of the British taxing
system that is being made by a group
of tax authorities sent abroad espe-
cially for that job.
But I gather from the discussions
heard around Washington that it is
not the question of size of tax rates
on the scientific basis under considera-
tion that is considered most impor-
tant. Frankly, unbiased observers con-
tend the significance of the present
tax study lies in a fact that will not
be disclosed until later, namely,
whether the administration is prepar-
ing to balance the budget at an early
date.
The resignation of Lewds W. Doug-
las as director of the budget links
straight into this question. Mr. Doug-
las is variously reported as having
Insisted strongly for curtailment of re-
covery expenditures and an early bal-
ance of outgo and income. He left the
job as a gentleman and did not criti-
cize his former chief. Nevertheless,
signs are numerous that Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr. Douglas did not see eye to
eye in the matter of easy release of
cash in the manner that has been fol-
lowed since the recovery program got
under way.
Some observers here contend on
what they insist is unimpeachable au-
thority that Mr. Douglas was urging a
curtailment in expenditures and a
sharp increase in taxation so that the
next federal budget would be in bal-
ance with the beginning of the fiscal
year next July 1. That would repre-
sent a tremendous job. Mr. Douglas
knows what the problem is and he
also knows, as a big business man,
how necessary it is to assure holders
of federal bonds that their funds are
safe. It is to be assumed from all of
the straws which the wind has blown
that the break came on that question.
If that assumption be correct, wise-
acres are saying, It means that the
next tax bill will be held to the
minimum.
* * *
Although it may be a bit ghoulish,- it
is a fact that speculation has begun
respecting appoint-
Supreme Court ments to the Su-
Speculation preme court of the
United States. At
present all of the nine justices are in
good health despite their advanced
age. Five of them are in their seven-
ties and only one Is younger than
sixty. The appointment speculators,
therefore, think that President Roose-
velt will be called upon in the course
of a year to name another justice.
The circumstance seems to have de-
veloped as a psychological result and
as an aftermath of the death of
Speaker Henry T. Rainey of the house
of representatives. Mr. Rainey’s death,
of course, has political significance and
once the speculators were started
they carried on.
The present assumption is that
Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, will be named
to the Supreme court when there is a
vacancy. It would fulfill Senator Rob-
inson’s ambition and it would be a
compliment to him for the yeoman
service he has performed for the new
deal. But the elevation of Senator
Robinson would leave in the senate
something of a battle for leadership
there, and that is the thing about
which the politicians at the moment
are giving some thought. The majority
leader in the senate or the house nec-
essarily must be something of a “yes”
man. Without detracting from Senator
Robinson’s ability, it is generally
known that he has acquiesced in all
of the new deal proposals without
having in his own mind a conviction
that they were the best pieces of legis-
lation that could be drafted; so if
and when he is elevated to the Su-
preme court there will be a scramble
among some of the senators who crave
the honor of leadership and who also
desire for political purposes _to demon-
strate their fealty to the new deal.
