WASHINGTON — Back in Washington last week as President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt held his first press conference, read to newspapermen the several electoral vote predictions he had written down and put away in his safe: “Jan. 30: Democrats 325, Republicans 206. “June 5: Democrats 315, Republicans 216. “Aug. 2: F. D. R. 340, A. M. L., 191. “Nov. 1: F. D. R., 360, A. M. L., 171.” “Why did you guess so low?” asked a newshawk. “Just my well-known conservative tendencies,” beamed the President and President-elect whose guesses looked much more conservative than they actually were for two reasons: because the ratio of the electoral vote to the popular vote was more lopsided than usual, because a big block of citizens who do not ordinarily vote turned out at this election and apparently, to the consternation of straw-poll takers, went to the New Deal. While Governor Landon polled only 11½% of the electoral vote, he polled about 37½% of the popular vote. WORLD PLEASED— GENEVA — Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s landslide re-election brought him last week a crazy-quilt ovation from editors and statesmen in every capital of the world. In Berlin he was hailedissimo, calling the raise “welcome but inadequate”: “The steel bars are engaging in some amusing antics ... shadow-boxing with their self-created company unions in an attempt to mislead the steel workers and the public into believing they are bargaining collectively with their employees. They are fooling nobody with their mental gymnastics, but instead are making fools of themselves.” Strenuously objecting to United States Steel's cost-of-living feature, Leader Lewis added: “If the rent goes up, the steel man may hope to get additional pay to make up the difference—but he can't rent a better home.” “HARPO” MARX & ROOSEVELT— HOLLYWOOD — Married "around September 26," "somewhere in California or Nevada" to 31-year-old brunette Susan Fleming, onetime "Follies" showgirl, was 42-year-old Cinemactor Arthur ("Harpo") Marx, mute member of the four Marx comedians. Minus his frowsy wig, Cinemactor Marx last week said he had driven aimlessly with his bride-to-be until he found a justice of the peace, went through the ceremony unrecognized. Upon telegraphing President Roosevelt congratulations, Marx explained he had kept his marriage secret until after November 3 “because I didn't want to crowd you off the front page." (The marriage took place in Fullerton—Editor's note). At some dozen dangerousings in Los Angeles' San Francisco section last week, engineer Dorsey's idea of a go-nal was amazing drivers. While Governor Landon polled on 11% of the electoral vote, he polled about 37½% of the popular vote. WORLD PLEASED— GENEVA — Franklin Delano Roosevelt's landslide re-election brought him last week a crazy-quilt ovation from editors and statesmen in every capital of the world. In Berlin he was hailed as an exponent of the "fuerer-prinzip" (leadership principle) of Der Fuehrer Adolf Hitler. In Paris, France's cabinet and chamber of deputies rejoiced with Premier Leon Blum, who has tried to give his people a modified New Deal. In Moscow a high Soviet official cried: "We are extremely gratified!" Rome also climbed on the band wagon, eulogistically comparing President Roosevelt to Dictator Mussolini. Meanwhile, at the League of Nations bar in Geneva, inventive Proprietor Carlo Beltramo, an Italian, celebrated the Roosevelt election by inventing the Forty-Eight States Roosevelt Cocktail. Ingredients: 10 "states" of white Dutch curacao; 10 "states" of English gin; 8 of grapefruit juice; 18 of French vermouth; one of angostura bitters, representing Maine; and a final "state" of absinthe, green as the forests of Vermont, dripped in on top of the finished cocktail. Urged Barman Beltrano, "Drink one and see the landslide." LABOR VS STEEL— PITTSBURGH—As the United States Steel Corp. announced plans to raise or lower wages in future in accordance with the cost of living index in the United States bureau of labor statistics, the steel industry last week granted to employees an average 10% pay raise with greatest benefit accruing to common labor, ascribed their move to returning prosperity and negotiation with company unions. warned that the price of steel would rise accordingly. But organized labor promptly declared itself dissatisfied, resumed its titanic battle with steel for control of the nation's half-million steel-workers. Leaders of John Llewellyn Lewis' Committee for Industrial Organization denounced this policy as a blow to non-minus his frowsy wig, Cinemactor Marx last week said he had driven aimlessly with his bride-to-be until he found a justice of the peace, went through the ceremony unrecognized. Upon telegraphing President Roosevelt congratulations, Marx explained he had kept his marriage secret until after November 3 "because I didn't want to crowd you off the front page." (The marriage took place in Fullerton—Editor's note). FLIGHT FROM MADRID— MADRID — Like a blustering Chinese general, grim, intense proletarian defender of Madrid Premier Largo Caballero last week declared: "Under no circumstances will I abandon Madrid alive! If the insurgents break through, I will shoot myself." Twenty-four hours later, as carefree General Francisco Franco's rebel forces reached the city's threshold, Premier Largo Caballero and his cabinet fled to Valencia on the seacoast, 190 miles away, there manifested that they had "sacrificed everything to efficiency," that their flight "does not imply any abandonment of the defense of Madrid, but on the contrary gives greater impulse to the final struggle." This impulse Premier Largo Caballero gave by fairly burning up the wires in a telephone conversation from Valencia with luckless General Jose Miaja whom he left behind to defend the capital, shouting a fresh manifesto into the telephone: "Courage! Our victory is certain. My mission is to defend Madrid at all costs. You must give up your lives before yielding another inch of ground!" Meanwhile Madrid syndicalist newspapers excitedly explained and tried to justify the government's flight:—If the rebels were to catch and imprison its members, then foreign powers would have no choice but to recognize Generalissimo Franco as actual head of Spain. Only this consideration could overcome the cabinet's reluctance to abandon the capital, move to safety on the 114th day of Spain's bloody civil war. As Generalissimo Franco's tough Spanish Foreign Legionaires, Regulars, and non-Spanish speaking Moors dressed in thick layers of sweaters to keep out high altitude cold swarmed into common labor, ascribed their move to returning prosperity and negotiation with company unions. warned that the price of steel would rise accordingly. But organized labor promptly declared itself dissatisfied, resumed its titanic battle with steel for control of the nation's half-million steel-workers. Leaders of John Llewellyn Lewis' Committee for Industrial Organization denounced the pay raise as a bribe to persuade workers not to join their union, and pious, progressive C. I. O. Captain Philip Murray, announcing a total of 82,315 new C. I. O. recruits, cried that re-election of Roosevelt was a signal to "go forward," asserted that the raise had been decided on weeks ago and held up in the hope of crediting it to a Landon victory: "Thoroughly afraid, the steel industry is making a last belated attempt to keep workers away from our organization by giving this miserable concession."

ATTITUDES ON SIMPSON— LONDON — Believing that a marriage of King Edward and his American friend Mrs. Simpson would advance its interests by causing the middle classes to quarrel among themselves. Britain's communist party last week spoke up through its sole member of parliament, Comrade William ("Willie") Gallacher who addressed reporters in the lobby of the house of commons: "I see no reason why the King shouldn't marry Mrs. Simpson if he wishes . . . It is no offense to be an American. Naturally the 'charmed circle' in this country would be upset . . . We ought to get socialism and have no King, and when the system goes so will the King." Although no word of this was printed in the United Kingdom, members of commons were last week guardedly saying that the great volume of letters from constituents objecting to the King's At some dozen dangerous crossings in Los Angeles’ San Fernando valley section last week, Enner Dorsey’s idea of a good sign was amazing drivers. For 200 on each side of each intersection he had removed the straight white stripe, substituted a stripe in a snake-like wiggle in which the millions of glass beads, one twenty-thousandth of an inch in diameter, making the wavy line a break of fire in the headlights. Serving that 64% of California’s shores occur at night, he extended that it would take time to test his signal’s efficiency. Typical driver reaction came on Fire Chief Ralph Scott who, countering the wriggle for the first time, snorted to his wife: “You know, I’m not drunk, but I live’s moving!” ERCY MURDER”—LONDON — Approvingly received from popular Labor Lordensonby by Britain’s House of Lords last week was a bill to euthanase, thus permit any adult resident of England and Wales suffering from “an illness involving severe pain of an incurable and fatal character” to apply to the minister of health for permission to have his doctor overdrug him. Originally proposed by the late Lord Moynihan, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, the bill will merely give legal form to an already functioning new principle of justice, for British juries have lately been regularly acquitting “mercy murderers,” as the penny press calls them. With zealots of the Voluntary Euthanasia society strongly backing him, Lord Ponsonby’s only potent adversary is the Catholic church. Up to last week Britain’s Attorney General had not acted to force the London “Daily Mail” to disclose the name of “a kindly-faced, elderly family doctor” who confessed in the “Mail” of Nov. 7, 1935 that he had mercy-murdered five people without waiting for the law, then added: “My conscience has never pricked me.” GLAD TO SERVE—LONDON—“I was too old to go to France when I was 72 at the outbreak of the war, but I am glad that I can be of service to my country now that I am nearly 94,” remarked white-moustachy men learned that the official Court Circular’s assertion that His Majesty has spent the day in such and such a locality can no longer be depended upon. Although Hearst’s Universal service, certain it had the inside story, last week declared: “King reason why the King should marry Mrs. Simpson if he wishes . . . It is no offense to be an American. Naturally the ‘charmed circle’ in this country would be upset . . . We ought to get socialism and have no King, and when the system goes so will the King.” Although no word of this was printed in the United Kingdom, members of commons were last week guardedly saying that the great volume of letters from constituents objecting to the King's friendship with Mrs. Simpson was such that Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin must inevitably soon be questioned in open parliament as to whether or not His Majesty would marry her. Meanwhile, as British political parties remained undecided on their attitude toward Mrs. Simpson, indignation toward her mounted in court circles, and charity leaders curried favor with her. And while British journalists, cramped by a self-imposed censorship, grew increasingly restive at their inability to write the story of the King and Mrs. Simpson, United States newspapermen learned that the official Court Circular’s assertion that His Majesty has spent the day in such and such a locality can no longer be depended upon.

ORDEAL BY PEN— KEELUNG. Formosa — Seized early in October by Keelung police on the Japanese Island of Formosa when a taxi driver accused them of not paying their fare, three British seamen resolutely denied the charge, were promptly beaten in the face by Japanese detectives while four Japanese policemen held them down in turn. Under this treatment two of the British tars agreed to sign a declaration that they were guilty. The third, although his jaw was broken, still refused to sign, was again held down while a Japanese detective jabbed the point of a fountain pen deeply under his nails, vigorously worked the lever shooting ink into the wounds until the sweating prisoner agreed to take the pen and sign. As this episode reached its climax, Lieut. T. A. Pack-Beresford of the British flotilla leader: "Bruce" marched into the Keelung police station, demanded the seamen's release; "I have obtained unquestionable proof that these sailors paid their taxi fare." Snarled a Japanese officer: "You say you're a British officer. We say you're nothing but a drunken sot. Get out of here!" Incensed over this incident Vice Admiral Sir Charles James Colebrooke Little, commander-in-chief of the China squadron at Shanghai, postponed a scheduled trip to Japan. In London, this Japanese provocation was kept secret long after the British Admiralty heard the facts; in Japan, no word of the Keelung ordeal by pen by printed.
