The MARCH OF TIME REG. U. R. FAT. OFF. Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine WASHINGTON — Thomas R. Marshall of North Manchester, d., who 20 years ago was not only vice president of the United States but also the Will Rogers of Erie, was the author of a brief note: "Once upon a time there were two brothers. One went to a. The other was elected vice president. Neither was heard on again." But Tom Marshall did not live hear about Vice President John Bance Garner, who returned from vacation in Texas to take charge of the difficult situation arising from a congressional deadlock on Franklin Roosvelt's supreme court bill. Convinced that the bill was poised to defeat and that further efforts to force the issue would revocably split the Democratic party, methodical Jack Garner allied on the president, conferred with senate groups, finally told Senate Opposition Leader Burton Wheeler to write its own court bill. The fight was over. In a judiciary committee session next morning the bill was written memorandum form: No change to the supreme court; no proctor supervise the allotment of judges in the courts; no roving judges; direct appeal to the supreme court in cases where the constitutionality of laws is questioned; authority for the attorney general to argue the government's side in such cases even if the government is not directly a party to the issue; assignment of judges by the senior circuit judges; new judges on the basis of need, not age. Still wary of trickery, however, the opposition also stipulated that the original court bill be sent back to committee and killed for this session, that the new bill be added as an amendment to a minor court ORANGE—CINCINNATI, Ohio—When she cut open an apparently normal orange last week, pretty Jane Toochey of Cincinnati found therein 26 bright pennies. gardens of Buckingham palace and saw the elite of the British empire rushing back and forth across the grass like a herd of sheep so as to get close to members of the royal family. I was really astonished. 'She's going over there,' someone would say—and the mob would break and cramble over there. "Queen Mary's coming this way"—and again they would break and run over this way. More than once the gentlemen-in-waiting had to link hands to keep the Queen and her two little daughters from being crushed or jostled." GOLD MESS—PANAMA CITY, Panama—Seated in his palace in Panama last week, sturdy little President Dr. Juan Demosthenes Arosomena smiled contentedly over official messages just received from Chiriqui Province's Governor Oscar Teran and Panama Police Captain Nicolas Segal—both confirming that three weather-beaten prospectors had found in an abandoned mine shaft a huge number of 50-lb. gold ingots worth some $3,000,000. In fact, 30 Panama troopers with machine guns were already guarding the treasure, half of which by law belonged to the government. Determined that there should be no hitch, Dr. Arosemena ordered his trusty Police Chief Manuel Pino to take five planes and bring the bullion to Panama. Soon Captain Sagel, who had just reached the mine, made a second report: Discoverer Joanes van would end. Yet notice of appeal had been filed for Negro Norris and plans to free the others were hatching. To Lawyer Liebowitz, the four freed negroes were just four more celebrities added to the roll of 132 accused murderers and others he boasts of having saved from death. A natural showman, daring, quick-witted, with expressive eyes, a Still wary of trickery, however, one opposition also stipulated that the original court bill be sent back to committee and killed for this session, that the new bill be added as an amendment to a minor court will already pass by the house—hus preventing administration strength in the house from changing it back to the form the president wanted. When Senator Logan moved to recommit the defeated bill, of which he had been sponsor, only 10 last-ditch fighters voted against him. Seventy other senators promptly jumped into the breach provided for them by John Garner, thus settling in an hour a profless wrangle that had played havoc with public affairs for nearly six months. DRAWING CARD— WASHINGTON — Long since proven Radio's No. 1 drawing card, Franklin D. Roosevelt last week wrote for the opening of the National Broadcasting company's new Washington studios a plug for television: "It is not within the province of reactionaries to put obstacles in the way of orderly development. Indeed it may not be long before radio will make it possible for us to visualize at the breakfast table the front pages of daily newspapers or news reports." HAPPY HARLAN— KITTS, Kentucky — As Senator LaFollette's Civil Liberties committee began its investigation of death and terror in Kentucky's Harlan county coal mining district, Irene Juno (the flying reporter), rushed to write for the National Young Democrat an account of "The Happy Side of Harlan," apparently overlooking facts revealed last week in a complaint filed by John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers against Clover Fork Coal Co. in Kitsch, Ky. An old story to the National Labor Relations board was the wording of one section of the complaint—alleged employment of "armed guards, notorious criminals, gun-thugs commissioned as deputy sheriffs and other irresponsible ruffians for the express purpose number of 30-10, gold ingots worth some $3,000,000. In fact, 30 Panama troopers with machine guns were already guarding the treasure, half of which by law belonged to the government. Determined that there should be no hitch, Dr. Arosemena ordered his trusty Police Chief Manuel Pino to take five planes and bring the bullion to Panama. Soon Captain Sagel, who had just reached the mine, made a second report: Discoverer Joanes van Steck, who had volunteered to lead the way into the gold-choked tunnel, had there inexplicably shot himself; his two prospector-companies were missing but there was nothing to worry about because a Czechoslovakian tunnel worker testified he had seen the gold. Chief Pino's report, the third to reach the president, was less encouraging: Missing Prospector Arrin Thorpe had been found, had just revealed that he had not seen a speck of gold. When Captain Segal sent still another message saying that so far as he could see the "abandoned mine tunnel" was "nothing but a cleft in the river bed" and quite empty, irate President Arosemena suspected that he had been the victim of a hoax, demanded to know why Chiriqui's governor and Captain Segal had confirmed the "discovery" in the first place. Receiving an official explanation that "someone must have interpreted a message wrongly." Panama's president then lost all patience, dismissed both Cirqui's governor and Captain Segal, ordered a judicial inquiry. GIFT AND REWARD— MEDFORD, Massachusetts — For her sixth birthday last week, Amy Morrissey of Medford received six Oriental gold and spunglass bracelets mailed to her from Bombay, India, by her aunt Amelia Earhart. Meanwhile, for any clue or information which would "definitely clear up" the mid-Pacific disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Captain Fred J. Noonan, her husband George Palmer Putnam posted a reward with the Pan-Pacific Press bureau. Amount: $2,000. "SCOTTSBORO HERO"— NEW YORK—Out of the courthouse in Decatur, Alabama, last week ran four young negroes followed by the nation's current-No. 1 criminal lawyer Samuel Simon To Lawyer Liebowitz, the four freed negroes were just four more celebrities added to the roll of 132 accused murderers and others he boasts of having saved from death. A natural showman, daring, quick-witted, with expressive eyes, a mobile face, a wide-ranged resonant voice, the gift of oratory and an intuitive awareness of jury reactions. Lawyer Liebowitz court successes have come so unbelievable as to make him appear hypnotic. His hardest case, the Max Becker prison riot murder in 1930, seemed so clear-cut against his client that when the jury brought in its verdict of not guilty, Liebowitz fainted. Numbered among his clients were Al Capone, who on Liebowitz' advice went to prison for income tax evasions after becoming involved in three murders; "Mad Dog" Vincent Coll, who was freed of suspicion as a baby killer; and Vera Stretz, who shot her lover. Lawyer Liebowitz publicly offered to take over the convicted Bruno Richard Hauptmann's case "if he will tell me the whole truth"; but after an interview with the Lindbergh baby kidnapper nothing happened. Another time Liebowitz got a jury to believe a murder suspect's alibi by asking him, "What is your occupation?" "Professional pick-pocket." "How long have you been a pickpocket?" "Twenty-four years." "If you are acquitted of this murder charge what will your occupation be in the future?" "Pickpocket." The jury overwhelmed by such brash honesty, believed and acquitted. BLVD.

NOTICE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Anaheim will sit as a Board of Equalization at the City Hall on Monday, August 9th, 1937, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of said day, and will continue in session until the returns of the Assassur have been An old story to the National Labor Relations board was the wording of one section of the complaint—alleged employment of "armed guards, notorious criminals, gun-thugs commissioned as deputy sheriffs and other irresponsible ruffians for the express purpose of threatening, intimidating and coercing its employees." But a new wrinkle in unfair labor practice was contained in the complaint that the company was luring good unionists away from union meetings with a kind of entertainment the union could not offer. The coal company, charge the United Miners, "did procure lewd and immoral women to perform free, indecent exhibitions known as strip-&-tease dances, and to otherwise engage in gratuitous, licentious conduct at times when union meetings were scheduled for the purpose of enticing its employees from attending such meetings." "Strip-tease!" exploded Clover Fork's Secretary-Treasurer A. F. Whitefield. "We deny that. The company has been observing the Wagner Labor relations act to the letter." RUDE SHEEP— LONDON—Of the 10,000 guests who stood about on the Buckingham palace lawn last week at Their Majesties' last garden party of the Coronation season, candid Reporter H. II. Halton of the Toronto (Canada) "Daily Star" wrote: "I got a shock when I entered the "SCOTTSBORO HERO"— NEW YORK—Out of the courthouse in Decatur, Alabama, last week ran four young negroes followed by the nation's current-No. 1 criminal lawyer Samuel Simon Liebowitz. As they ducked into waiting automobiles to start their motorcycle-escorted dash for the Tennessee state line, peering from a courthouse window was the rouged face of 22-year-old Victoria Price, who since March 1931 has insistently repeated her tale of a nine-Negro rape in an Alabama freight car. Although these four were freed, still in prison last week were: Haywood Patterson, 24, convicted for the fourth time in January 1936 for raping Victoria Price, and sentenced to 75 years; Clarence Norris, 24, similarly convicted last fortnight and sentenced to death; Andy Wright, 25, rape-convicted last week and sentenced to 90 years; Charlie Weems, 26, rape-convicted last week and sentenced to 75 years; and Ozie Powell, 22, excused from the rape charge but sentenced to 20 years for knifing a guard last year. "We'll appeal these cases to hell and back!" Lawyer Liebowitz had shouted, and courthouseeer rumor last week was that Alabama's governor would commute Negro Norris' sentence to life imprisonment, the other sentences would not be appealed, the Scottsboro case HOLLAND MOUNTAINS AND BEACHES ATTRACT MANY SUMMER VACATIONISTS Action of "where to go on your vacation" should be easily settled this year, for close to home are to greatest diversity of mile-high lakes, mountain resorts and seaside play places.
