All rtfnl publication nl n' are of PICTURE A belated echo of the great hoodlum festival celebrated by the German Nazis on Nov. 10 is the retail of an important South American diplomat. On that day Eafael Garamillo, newly arrived minister from Colombia, observing the violent attacks made upon Jewish synagogues and business places, and realizing that it was a historic event, started driving around Berlin with his secretary and taking photographs. Soon a after them policemen, who had done nothing to stop the destruction, surrounded them and tried to seize their cameras.

The Colombian flag was flying from the automobile, police car was and dozens of and the envoys explained who they were, but the police said it made no difference, and tried to haul them tion. off to They the police sta- locked themselves in the car, whereupon the police refused to let it move. Finally the siege was broken by Senor Garamillo persuading the police to accompany him to the German foreign office. But there the officials tolcj him the police had done their duty. A written protest that the minister submitted next day was ignored.

The protest went up to Hitler, whose only response was to postpone indefinitely a scheduled reception of Garamillo. So the envoy turns his back on Nazidom. And so another blow is dealt to the German export trade in South America, already slipping. The Nazis are succeeding wonderfully in Americanizing the Americas. PREPARADNESS.

One of the best suggestions for festive motorists that we've seen is this appeal, made on its front page for Thanksgiving Day by the Daily News Journal of Murfreesboro, Tenn. "The editorial staff woulc greatly appreciate it if al citizens planning to take few quick snorts of firewater, before getting into the car to drive to grandma's or the football game would first stop by the of- iice and leave a few notes for their obituaries." The response is said to have been THE CONQUERING MACHINE There is a chance for a lot of discussion in the story told by J. B. A. Johnson, an Arkansas cotton planter.

He has' completely mechanized his 500-acre plantation, and says he saved more than 50 per cent of production cost this year, He plowed the land and planted and cultivated his cotton by machinery. Ho thinned the crop with a chopping machine and gathered it with one of the new Bust mechanical pickers. "Machinery will be the salvation of the planter," he concludes. "It solves the probern of mule- pendabJe hand labor, II also provides a less expensive means of producing which is necessary if the South is to prosper." So far, so good! But ho reports that his machinery eliminated more than 100 part or full time laborers. There is no report as to what they did this year and how they prospered.

And there Is no estimate as to what would become of all the farm laborers in Arkansas, or in the cotton area as a whole, if the work was all done with machines. Of course there is employment for many workmen in making those machines. But generally speaking, not for workmen, nor so them, nor in the gion. Sometime, such disemployed the same many of same re- perliaps, workers will find jobs they survive. Meanwhile they are probably on public relief or the WPA.

Yet machinery is good. What's the answer? ROAD TOLLS Speaking of highway tolls in Italy, that the government has been having trouble with, an American business writer suggests that Mussolini merely uses bad psychology on the public by putting a barrier across the road at the collection points. In America we do it more cleverly by leaving the road open and collect ing at the gas station, ove: on the side. The point being, course, that our gasolim taxes amount to road tolls The states collect their tol through the gas station, and it probably amounts, on th average, to about one-third of a cent a mile. There isn't much kicking abou it, either.

The public most ly seems to feel that it' fair enough for users of the roads to pay for them, in proportion to the use the make of them. Serious objections, when they occur, are caused by diverting the gas oline tax to other purposes than road construction and repair. "STICKING OUR NECK Can it be that all Germany has gone Ku Klux?

"You're going through with this no matter what comes." "Then what's (he matter with getting started?" she asked with nn uneasy glance at the telephone, as if she expected it to begin ringing at any second. ''Nothing at all," I said, and Miss Whitlock moved to the desk and put her hand upon the telephone. "Just a second," she said. "Before I call for the taxi and the boll boy, don't you think the manager will think it queer for me to BO out of the hotel with luggage and return with none?"

When she had hung up the receiver, I looked at her with a smile.

"Isn't there anything else you'd like to ask me?" I queried. "Plenty," she said, returning the smile, "but I don't want to bother you now. You'll tell me when you pet ready, and until then I'm like the woman in a suffrage campaign in which I onco worked.

But I'll give you all the information you need when we meet at tha station.

We'll have plenty of time then, for we're not taking a train." "I thought not," she said. Then a knock sounded on the door, and she admitted the bell boy who took up the luggage and told her that the taxi was ready. Mary and I had retreated to my bedroom when ho knocked, so that he did not see us at all. But when the door closed upon the nurse, Mary gave a suppressed, little whoop of impatience. "How long must we wait before we go down?" she asked.

"Five minutes," I told her inexorably, looking at my wrist watch. "She must be well away from the hotel before we start." "I suppose I can stand the strain," she said whimsically, "but I'm not SO sure. If I start picking the bedclothes or crying for my paper dolls, will you promise to maka them give me a pretty pink strait-jacket, or perhaps a lavender one? I'd like any of the pastel shades. But I'd hate awfully to have them hand me a gray one or a black one." "Ill consider the matter very carefully," I snid. Then neither of us spoke again until my wrist watch signaled our release.

"Time to go, dear," I said, rising, and then, as if a malevolent devil had inspired it, the telephone rang. (Continued tomorrow) Coorrtlht. IflM. lir Kln( Folnrfii RynillttU. Ins.

The Stars For Saturday, December 3 By GENEVIEVE KEMBLE THE ASPECTS of tho moon on this day are somewhat conflicting, promising, on the ono hand, benefits, lucrative change, increase in finance and expanding opportunities, on the other, quarrels, tumult, disturbance and probabla violence. All this might bo precipitated through reckless acts, fiery speech, overaggressive or enthusiastic activities. With proper restraint and moderation there should be surprising benefits in new projects, through speculation or important change. Thoso whose birthday it is may haMo a year of conflicting adventures, with fine promise for now opportunities, progress, bold projects or important financial deals.

But these should not be jeopardized by recklessness, Imsto, excitement, quarr.cls or impetuosity. Calm and well-planned details should prove definitely constructive and worthwhile. Speculation is encouraged, A child born on this day may be progressive, enterprising nnd courageous, having excellent chances for success. But it may have tho handicap of a rash, tempestuous and overaggrcssive temperament to undermine its success. T.

How's Your Ktlllttl for the New Vork Acuitemv at UeiUcltie By Dr. la go Galdston DANGERS IN DRUGS An average of BOO deaths due to agranulocytosls have been reported In the United Stales annually during the hfllf dozen a a. This disease Is caused by the partial or complete disappearance of white blood cells (granuloeyte a) from the bone marrow and the blood. Agranuloc o- sls, therefore. Is a disease In which the Important defensive mechanism wo the body (the whlto blood cells) Is disrupted.

The consequence Is that the body falls an easy victim to the malignant effects of various kinds of bacteria. In practically all cases the disease Is the of acute intoxication with poisonous drugs. In a very large percentage of the cases, agranulocytosls is traced directly to the use of a drug called nmidopyrinc. Unfortunately a warning against this drug cannot have much meaning, for the average person seldom, if ever, comes face to face with amldopyrlne. He does, however, encounter It in a vast number of patented remedies dispensed to the public for "self-treatment" of such pains as headache, neuralgia; for the so-callotl periodic pnlns of women; In patented remedies for rheumatic pains; nnd patented drugs for colds, muscle aches, and fevers.

Practically always the patented remedies containing this dangerous drug go by some strange name which falls to reveal its contents. The sale of amidopyrlno was forbidden in Denmark In 1934. As a consequence there folowed an Immediate drop there In the number of cases of agranulocyto- sls. Authorities throughout the world have agreed that "If we want to avoid the risk of producing agranulocytosis, the only way la not to use amldopyr ne at all. Similar caution should bo exercised In the use of drugs of the barbituric acid type.

The latter drugs are very useful In the treatment of certain diseases but should be used only under a rjny- slclnn'g supervision. Daybook By PRESTON GBOVEB ASHINGTON-David Sarnoff, head of the Radio tion of America and peer of the realm in his field, came to Washington to exchange blows with the government in the monopoly investigation, and in his first dozen sentences dropped a hint of horrors to come for un- Objects handsome politicians. Said just around the corner. Now such a warning coming from SarnofT is not to be biffed aside like a fly on the butter. He is on tne inside track.

His statement puts solidly behind all the rumors and reports of television heard heretofore. And when it comes, what happen to our politicians who have depended on their superior logic, wiso cracks and stentorian voices to overcome the fact that their noggins don't look well in print? New Major Consideration IT MAY sound silly, but to us it 1 seems a better than fair bet that by 1940 one of Ihe important considerations for a President will be: Is he good looking? Dods he have a "strong" face? It is not to be forgotten the part radio has played in the past two elections. Roosevelt, master o' the mike, made Hoover in 1932 sound like a man with his head in a duffle bag. In 1938 Governor Landon tried to remedy hi- own micro- phonic defects by studying under a voice tutor during part of the campaign. At times, such was the value of the training, he could repeal a dozen words without hissing one.

It couldn't be said that he was defeated because of a hissed but he went down trying not to. Way Become Actor OME another election, the aspiring candidate may well have to ulonf? not only a voice expert but a makeup man. He may need a stage director. If he has a nervous habit of tugging at his ear or a lock of hair while he pours his message into the air, he might lose Pennsylvania and Ohio In one swat. The nearest thing we now have Is (he news reel talk- ies where the boys with messages for the public ate invited to sound off, In the news reek a speaker with a shiny spot peeking out from beneath a misplaced lock is always good for a titter.

Moreover, In tha talkie versions, the films are edited so that a silly gesture can be cutout. But in televlsio" the product Will go directly from producer to consumer without benefit of friendly retouching. If a man has a nervous habit of twitching his nose or a way of saying ''peanuts" that looks odci in closeup, he'll be no great help to the party even if he can coin great phrases like "Back to Normalcy" or "The Forgotten Man." Young Tom Dewey, with a head of black hair, may do splendidly in television unless his crisp mustache touches the national bone. So far as WB know, his adams apple doesn't duck Up and down around his collar button. From a sartorial standpoint, Republicans might "do well Dewey." Democratic Possibilities OLICITOR GENERAL ROBERT JACKSON is a handsome enough Democratic prospect, with a good head of hair and clean cut features.

Secretary Wallace of Agriculture might go well with the farming help, as his forelock is forever dropping across his brow in a manner suggesting homely Will Rogers. After all. these things are taken seriously by party figures who remember "the Voice" that swelled the totals in the two past campaigns. A noble mein may help in 1940. Great as Lincoln, no telling what might have happened had television put his homely face before a jibing public in 1860.

Truly it woulu terrible for either party next time to be defeated by a margiii of buck- teeth and a receding chin. Religion Day By Day By William T. Ellis Sundown Stories By Mafy Graham Banner- Sweet Face's Surprise HE bears were all in the cave now and tho other Puddle Muddlers were trying to get inside, too, so they could see what Sweet Face's surprise might be. The lamb had certainly kept very quiet about it, but he had been busy. He know that he was much better at following than at leading.

He knew he did not think of things to do the way some of the others did, and he had wanted to have a surprise for the bears so that their winter sleep would be more comfortable than ever. He had been very happy when the thought had come to him. And now they all saw what it was. Why had they not noticed Sweet Face's appearitjce before? He was looking quite shaggy. He had managed to use Willy Nilly's scissors to take off some of his wool.

Then, all by himself, he had gone up to the cave and had made five little pillows. "What a beautiful surprise!" Willy Nilly exclaimed, and all the Puddle Muddlers thought it was wonderful and unselfish of Sweet Face to haVe parted with some of his wool when the weather was becoming chilly. "You're a sweet lamb, Sweet Face," murmured Honey Bear. "You didn't wait to follow any leader. You thought and acted for yourself." Sweet Face was happy about this.

"You're a thoughtful lamb," growled Jelly Bear softly, "My pillow's lovely," whispered Jupiter Bear. "Mine is as soft as can be," said Blacky Bear. i "I was almost asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow, aa the saying Is," added Chubby. Willy Nilly covered the bears with autumn leaves, and as he 1 covered each one he was given a sleepy but affectionate bear hug. "Sleep well," the Puddle Mud- dlers said softly, but the bears I were already sound, -ound asleep.

Tomorrow NoCoVa Class." I-ET'S GO OLD-FASHIONED. IP there were not such a serious side to It all, we could afford to laugh at the underdone professors, nnd the "emancipated" young things, who have tried to throw onto the scrap-heap the tested standards of life which the use have set up. "Old-fashioned" is their ultimate word of if all the essential thlnps of life had not been old-fashioned long before Abraham loft (Jr of the Chaldees. Life's ancient code of character nnd conduct and good tnate cannot ho overturned by catling It "lousy." Perhaps these pseudo- "intellc-ctuals," who no longer have dealings with the Bible, should be reminded that the Bible still has dealings with them. One does not alter the law of gravitation by denying It.

The truths of because they are In the Bible, but because they are true, require, and will ultimately have, reckoning with everybody. There Is no petting ruray from Him who is Truth. Perhaps tho "new" generation have been simply stupid In not seeking truth where It Is most clr-nrly to he found. Have mercy upon wayward and wnmlerlng fret, Lord.
