To be exact, he wore sandals, a loin cloth and a short white cape over his shoulders.

(Later he described himself as "the American Anyway, he wore so little that he caused no end of consternation and was promptly hustled out of view by Sergeant-at-Arms Jurneyand half a dozen policemen. It was at that point that Senator Frederic C. Walcott of Connegticut, a Republican if ever there was one, demanded: "What do you want to arrest him for? Probably he's the only sane man in Washington." There's a certain amount of evidence that Walcott was giving voice to an opinion widely held not only in Washington, but also in the country outside. To he brutally frank, however, one rnust admit that nearly all congressmen, as well as most New Dealers, harbor an idea that the rest of the nation is not crazy, but just plain dumb.

Probably not the smallest fraction of one per cent of children have ever actually known a boy or girl who was drowned, or a man or woman, either.

He took the oath of office as governor but did not file it. Lawyers studied methods to be employed in attempting to oust Langer through court action. Two truck loads qf federal troops moved from Fort Lincoln near here under authority from troop headquarters in Omaha and were stationed before the federal building as the court convened. StRle Politics in Turmoil The gubernatorial situation threw state politics into turmoil.

Langer said he intended to "fight to the last" to retain his office. Before the executive offices were posted the sheriff of thi? county and a deputy under Langer's orders to prevent any person from entering the quarters. The move was taken as a precaution against a surprise move. Langer. noted for his frequent use of the National Guardsmen to enforce his several moratorium and embargo proclamations, said he would use "force" if necessary to retain office.

BERLIN, With the question of the foreign debt moratorium out of the way. there were indications Sunday that Germany intends to make a keen-edged economic weapon of her power to buy raw materials.

Apparently the weapon is to be brought into play if other nations resort to retaliations because of the Reich'5 determination not to pay its foreign obligations for a while.

Talk of the appointment of a raw materiaus commissioner also was regarded as new evidence that Germany is prepared to take decisive steps in any direction to keep firm control of her financial and economic lit'e. The importance of Germany's raw materials purchases is constantly being paraded in editorials and even the man on the street has become convinced that the world can not afford not to sell to Germany.

The entire meeting lias been private, but George H.
