See the articles By HUGH S. JOHNSON WASHINGTON If ever an institution was misnamed it is the War Department. War used to be a horizontal affair carried on mostly on land by marching armies. Now war moves on, under and above both land and sea. Furthermore, while war used to be principally a clash of relatively small half-professional armies, now it is principally a combat between whole nations with all their men, money and materials reorganized from the ordinary and -constructive uses of peace to the extraordinary 9 Column tell them the party can't getii.

In that and in getting better teamwork within the Army itself, it has been a useful office. But in the sense that it provides us with any real War Department, it is worse than useless. The present Assistant Secretary of War, Mr. Louis Johnson, is an ambitious lawyer-politician. A vast rearmament program is ahead.

It involves a partial industrial mobilization. The world is aflame with war and we must get ready on all fronts especially the industrial front. Mere military rearmament is not enough. A constant stream of publicity issuing from Mr. Johnson's office indicates that he believes that all this is his job and he is doing it.

It doesn't seem to recognize that there is such a person as Mr. Woodring or that, under the law, this office acts "under the supervision" of the Secretary of War exactly as do all other officials in the "Army department." Department Split This rambunctiousness and un-discipline has split the "Army department" at a time of national danger when it should be in perfect harmony. Nobody is sure who the boss is and that is an impossible condition in any army. If any public impression has been created that it has prepared or can prepare industry for mobilization, even for the great rearmament program, it is dangerously and cruelly misleading. The industrial side of war preparation in time of peril requires not a politician but a man who understands industry.

No Army officer can and Mr. Johnson doesn't, even if his office were the proper one for the job. This situation has been discussed here before. It will be discussed again. It is about the weakest spot in our national defense.

It stinks to heaven. MARIE AND CATHERINE JANE GARRITY 'Their cereal was flavored with carbon oil." ana destructive uses ox war. With all this in mind, ri- rings department is not a ''war" department. It is an "army department" just as retary Svan.son's is a "navy" department. Furthermore, it is not even partly fquip ped to carry on the new economic warfare the mobilization of all industry, Gen.

Johnson agriculture, finance, communications, shipping and transportation to the all-consuming demands of modern war. We went into the World War blind to this plain fact. It stalled all our early efforts, wasted billions and narrowly missed ending in tragedy, in December, 1917, the chairman of the Senate Military Affairs Committee attacked the blundering system so fiercely that it was jolted into haphazard temporary reorganization. Emergency administrations for food, fuel, transportation, merchant marine, war trade, finance and war labor were loosely tied into an overhead control of them and some of the duties of the War and Navy Departments, it was called the War Industries Board. It was a hasty hodge-podge but it worked fairly well.

Its most difficult job was to make the War Department play in teamwork. That was largely because, as now, the Army department thought it was a War Department. After the war, the machine was scrapped. We went straight back to our ancient errors. Connectim Link As a pure makeshift, an Assistant Secretary of War was appointed in 1918 to help make the so-called War Department play ball.

For that reason, he was charged, under the Secretary of War, with supervision of Army y'r 'J Tactics Watched Another question the Republicans relates to in the coming session of Cohf gress. All eyes will be on the Re" publicans this winter. They the alternatives of striking otrt on their own, or of keeping their Roosevelt or carry on the fight which the Liberty League abandoned after its hing defeat in 1936. Chief representative of the progressive wing will be the new New York National Commit tee-man, Kenneth Simpson, an aggressive, fortyish, venturesome redhead, who in his own way doesn't care much more for Mr. Clapper precedents than Franklin Roosevelt.

Mr. Simpson is the man behind Mr. Dewey and Bruce Barton, and the man who made some trades with Mr. LaGuardia and the American Labor Party in New York in order to advance the interests of the Republican Party. Die-hard Republican reactionaries have been shocked that Mr.

Simpson should try to do business with anybody who was not on the good books of the Liberty League promoters, and they have not only withheld contributions from him but some of them are demanding his head. Mr. Simpson gets around a good deal. He has discovered that the world has moved and he thinks it only appropriate that the Republican Party also move ahead. Following that line, he almost elected Mr.

Dewey as Governor of New York, losing by some 60,000 out of almost five million votes, against the strongest candidate that the Democrats had. Still Has Chips But he lost and that prevents him from holding the dominant position in the party which he would have taken had he elected Mr. Dewey. As it is he still has some chips in the game, but as he looks around the table he sees several large rivals, well-heeled with blue chips. There are the Pennsylvania Republicans who swept their state earlier this month, and with a second-rate reactionary candidate, Arthur James.

These Pennsylvania Republicans, with -a large squad of fat cats such as" Joseph Pew (oil), Ernest Weir (steel), Joe Grundy (big. business lobbyist) and Jay Cooke (capitalist) think the way to beat the New Deal is to fight It and they are set to wipe it off the face of the map. When Mr. Simpson tries to POLISH, CZECH TROOPS CLASH Several Killed as Warsaw Forces Advance heads down and working under cover with anti-Roosevelt Democrats. During the last two years they ,1 have followed the latter policy with remarkable success.

That was the way the Supreme Court and the Reorganization bills were beaten. Republicans prodded con- ir servative Democrats, but care v- a fully avoided taking the open ini- 1 tiative. They can continue that coali- tiqn policy, but while it has tie advantage of getting results," It Li also has the disadvantage "ot making it difficult for the party" to establish a record before ths country. It permits the conserva-tive Democrats to take the credit- for stopping Mr. Roosevelt and -reduces the Republicans to a -scarcely audible echo.

On the other hand, if the Re-. publicans step out with a savage, down the line attack on the Ad- ministration, they seize the headlines, but that policy also tends to drive the Democrats back tp" -ward the Administration. A con- servative Southern Democrat still" would rather be called a Roose-velt man than a Republican. (Copyright. 193S.

for Pittsburgh Press Company) COOGHUN RAPS ATHEISTIC JEWS AND ATTACKERS Three Radio Stations Bar Speech; Last Week's Talk Repeated By The United. Press DETROIT, Nov. 28 Rev. Charles E. Coughlin planned today to extend the Jewish-Communist controversy with renewed attacks on "atheistic Jews." Station WMCA of New York, which accused Rev.

Coughlin of preaching "mistakes of fact" in his weekly talk a week ago and asserted that his speech was "calculated to stir up religious and racial hatred and dissension," barred it yesterday along with stations WJJD of Chicago and WIND of Gary, Ind. WMCA refused to broadcast Rev. Coughlin because he did not provide station officials with a copy of it in advance. Rev. Coughlin said the stations "showed very poor intelligence." He said they canceled his speech "because they are Jewish-owned stations." He said he would devote his talk next Sunday to the same subject.

Broadcasts Transcription In yesterday's talk Rev. Coughlin reiterated the views he advanced the previous Sunday and broadcast a transcription of that talk which brought protests from liberals and Jews. It alleged JewTs were leaders of Communism in Russia and in Germany before the advent of National Socialism in 1933. He said yesterday that he had been accused of making a "most un-American speech, of defense of Nazism and the Nazi pogrom, of being a sadist, ana of gross errors tn fact." Introducing the transcription. Rev.

Coughlin said it would prove that the charges against him were "gross misrepresentations of fact." "Admittedly," he said, "I did at tack and will continue to attack atheistic Jews and atheistic Gen tiles. But I will prove that actually I invited and still invite the non-Communist, non-atheistic Jews, whom I respect and with whom I deeply sympathize, to join me in combatting Communism. Condemned Nazism "I will prove that I did not de fend Nazism, but condemned it vigorously. I will prove that I condemned the Nazi pogrom." When the transcription of the controversial portion of the previous sermon had been broadcast, Rev. Coughlin quoted wThat he said was proof that Kuhn, Loeb Co.

of New York helped finance the Russian revolution. Quoting the book, "The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World," by Prof. Denis Fahey, of Dublin, he said: "The chief document treating of the financing of the Russian revolution is the one drawn up by the American Secret Service. It was found that the following persons were engaged in this work of destruction: Jacob Schiff, Guggen heim, Kuhn Loeb of which the following are the directors: Jacob Schiff, Felix Warburg, Otto Kahn, Mortimer Schi: and S. H.

Hanauer." Charges Are Denied In New York, Lewis Strauss, a partner in Kuhn Loeb issued a statement saying "the charges and inferences he (Coughlin) makes as to the support of Communism by by firm are absolutely untrue." Treasury officials in Washington disclaimed knowledge the Secret Service compiled the document which Rev. Coughlin mentioned. "If it is un-American to bestir sympathy for persecuted Christians, then I must plead guilty," Rev. Coughlin said. "If I am an advocate of Nazism when I decry both Communism and Nazism, then I plead guilty.

"There is evidence that Jewry is silent on Communism and is reluctant to oppose it. There is the question of so-called anti-Semitism which is really anti-Communism. If Jews persist in supporting Communism directly or indirectly, that will be regretable. By their failure to fight Communism as vigorously as they fight Nazism, they invite the charge of being supporters of Communism." Station Explains Stand In the time usually alloted to Rev. Coughlin, WMCA broadcast an announcement by its president, Donald Flamm, that the station did not believe it was "in the public interest to broadcast material which will stir up religious or racial strife and dissension in America "We realize that every effort will be made to distort our action into a false issue of freedom of speech or censorship.

We have tried to live up to our obligation as American broadcasters "Freedom of speech is a precious privilege. That is why those of us who are entrusted with instruments of free speech must be so careful not to permit anyone to defile them." PIONEER OF WILD LIFE CONSERVATION DIES By The United Press LYNBROOK, N. Nov. 28 Funeral services will be held tonight for Dwight Williams Huntington, 87, pioneer wild game conservation ist who died Saturday in the Maple Convalescent Home at Oceanside, Long Island. He was a native of Cincinnati, where he practiced law for several years and served as a member of the Ohio Legislature before coming to New York.

He wrote the first game breeding law enacted in this country. It was adopted by New York State In 1912 with the aid of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, then chairman of the New York Forest, Fish and Game Committee. Coast Guard Hunts For 2-Story House Pp The United Press SAYBROOK, Nov. 28 Coast Guard Patrol boats were searching Long Island sound today for A.

D. Chalker's two-story house. Mr. Chalker was transferring the dwelling on a flatboat from Hammock Beach to his own property when a storm arose and washed it overboard. It floated out to sea on the tide.

GALL TO BLOCK ASGIST THREAT Junior Hadassah Speaker Banks on Youth; British Aid to Jews Urged Youth in democratic countries must act as defense sentinels against the infiltration of Fascist ideas from totalitarian states. This call for help from youth was made in Pittsburgh yesterday at a conference of Jewish young women, who wound up a four-day meeting of the Junior Hadassah by sounding an alarm against Fascist threats, and resolving to ask the British Government to give Jews a greater opportunity to settle in Palestine. As president of the Senior Hadassah, a Zionist order, Mrs. Moses P. Epstein of New York at yesterday's meeting emphasized this appeal: "Democratic youth is faced today by a formidable array of a great section of youth that stands on opposite ideological ground.

Youth (in Europe) is infiltrated with Tascist ideas, with a notion that a human being is worthless unless he is the instrument of the State. Must Be Re-Educated "The idea that a government is the implement of the people is foreign to their mind, and so modern Democratic youth is faced with a grave and possibly a long struggle to re-educate the other portion of this generation with the morality of man's worth. "This is a struggle," she continued, "for which you must gird yourself chiefly by self education in democratic principles and prac-. tices, and spread this education to all youth. "Furthermore, if you know thoroughly what Democracy means, you will be able to detect possible inroads (in the United States and Europe) of totalitarian ideas, no matter how subtly they are disguised." To Seek British Help In passing resolutions yesterday, the Junior Hadassah convention discussed the recent action of the British Government, which scrapped its plan for partition of Palestine and decided to call a Jewish-Arab conference to meet immediately in London for discussion of the future of the Holy Land.

The Junior Hadassah Zionists resolved to urge Great Britain "to give first consideration to opening wider the doors of Palestine." They also will propose to the British Government that immigration laws be relaxed in favor of German refu gees, and that Tarnsjordan be opened to Jewish immigration. Moreover, Mrs. Epstein suggested that Jewish youth of Germany be transported to Palestine without delay. She also referred to the Youth Aliyah, a Jewish organization represented in America by Hadassah, which, she reported, had in the last few years transferred 3500 children to Palestine. Mrs.

Epstein added that the Youth Aliyah is prepared now "to take 2500 boys and girls, and settle them in the co-operative agircultural colonies and trade centers of Palestine." Miss Nell Zill. of New York, was re-elected president of Junior Hadassah yesterday. Two thousand new members have been added to the organization in recent weeks, it was announced. Princess Baba Cast As Sideshow Dancer By The United Press HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 28 Valerie, the much-troubled Princess Baba of Sarawak, reported for work today in the movies and discovered that she'd been cast as a hoochie-coochie dancer in a circus sideshow.

"All I can say is that I'm glad I my mother and father are 4000 miles away" the blond princess reported. "If my marrying Bob made them so angry they disinherited me, I'd hate to see them now." "Amen," added Bob Gregory, her wrrestler-husband, patting her hand. When Princess Baba married Gregory in London last year, her father, Sir Charles Vyner Brooke, the white Rajah of Sarawak, said she no longer was a daughter of his. The Princess said, between fittings of her Little Egypt costume of black chiffon, that she wrote her father regularly, but he didn't answer.

Miller TURTLE CREEK WOMAN HELD Officer Enters Home in Time To Stop Poison Meal A young Turtle Creek woman was held in County Jail today charged with administering poison to her two small daughters. Justice of the Peace Calvin Blak-ely, of Wilkins said Mrs. Florabell Garrity, 28, of Clugston Turtle Creek, was arrested while feeding her children a cereal mixed with kerosone and sugar. Hie children, Marie, 5, and Catherine Jane, 2, were examined by a physician but apparently had not eaten enough of the cereal to become ill. A complaint that Mrs.

Garrity was "acting strangely" in her home, a small attic apartment, was made by her husband, James Garrity, 41, to Police Chief John Vechter. Chief Vechter walked into the attic room to see the mother giving her children the cereal, Justice Blakely said. Questioned by Mr. Vechter, Mrs. Garrity refused to explain her actions.

She will be given a hearing tonight in Squire Blakely's office, 715 Larimer Turtle Creek. Her bond is $1000. Her husband recently was released from the He was given a 30-day sentence when it was testified he spent his WPA check on drinks. SALESMAN KILLED BY MONOXIDE GAS A search started after he failed to return home overnight led to the discovery of the body of a 58-year-old candy salesman in his auto in a closed garage near his home today. Police said Harry W.

Freymeyer, of 7955 Tioga was the victim of carbon monoxide. Windows cf the car were closed as well as the garage doors and the auto ignition switch was on. Discovery of the body wras made by the victim's landlady, Mrs. John T. Crawford, who became worried when Mr.

Freymeyer'S' absence was discovered. An investigation was started to determine whether the death was accidental or suicide. GANGSTER MASSACRE SUSPECT IS JAILED By The United Press TAMAQUA, Nov. 28 An al leged Shenandoah racketeer, wanted on murder charges in connection with the "Flag Day Massacre" of three Philadelphia gangsters, was surrendered to State Motor Police and county detectives today by his attorney.

(What Ambassador Hans Bieckhotf might tell Adolf Hitler tomorrow when he paints the "singular attitude'' of the Americ-ins an imaginary conversation.) By The United Press WARSAW, Nov. 28 Fighting be tween Polish and Czechoslovak troops, with several dead on both sides, broke out yesterday when the Polish army occupied the Javorina district of Northern Slovakia three days before the time fixed for the Czechs' surrender of the area.

A Warsaw communique said the clash occurred when Czech troops fired on the advancing Poles. The Czech observer attached to the Polish occupation force was said to have protested, whereupon the Czech soldiers opened fire again and the Polish troops returned the fire. A Polish major and twro soldiers were reported to have been killed and two captains wounded. It was understood Czech soldiers also were killed and wounded. The incident aggravated a situation acute because of Polish-Hungarian demands for a common frontier by amputation of Czechoslovakia's eastern province of Ruthenia.

Czech versions of the shooting said the Poles used "extreme bru tality" against the civilian popula tioan of the Javorina district. It also was alleged that the Poles oc cupied more area in the district than had been ceded to them. It was admitted the Slovak population resisted the Poles "because they were unprepared for the sudden crossing of the border." Troops Suppress Sofia Disorders By The United Press SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 28 The government yesterday imposed virtual martial law on this city's residents, cutting off all tele phone communication in an effort to suppress disorders on the 18th anniversary of the World War Treaty of Neuilly. A government order clearing the streets and putting military and police patrols in charge of the city resulted from a series of disorders in which crowds of young Bulgarians demanded return of the na tion's war-lost territories.

These territories were ceded to Yugoslavia and Rumania. ATHENS, Nov. 28 The chiefs of the army general staffs of Rumania, Yugoslavia and Turkey, arrived here today for a 10-day conference on the Balkan Entente's military affairs. Defense of Rumania against the territorial demands of Bulgaria and Rumania against the territorial demands of Bulgaria and Hungary, will be the chief topic. St.

Goodbye Jimmy Jimmy Roosevelt is still unr decided about his 1 but he has made up his mind i definitely that he will not retunt.

i to the White House payroll. Despite the President's state ment that Jimmy will resume his! job as secretary next spring, young Roosevelt has told mates he has no intention of everJ coming back. sj, One reason Is his health. Jimmy believes the arduous grind at the- ner and the anti-New Deal wing of the Democratic Party. The President has deep suspicion that the two Southerners, never ardent New Dealers, have reverted to type as a result of the election upset and are now back in the Garner camp.

To test their mettle he will use the government reorganization bill that was trounced last Congress. Prior to Nov. 8, Roosevelt had intended to offer the measure again in the new Congress. The Republican sweep wrote finis to that plan, but he hasn't admitted it publicly. As far as the congressional leaders know he is still bent on putting over the bill.

When they sit down with him at Warm Springs, he will propose reviving the fight and see what they do about it. To his intimates the President has expressed belief that the leaders will run from the bill as from a plague. But by threatening to force a showdown in Congress, he hopes to wangle a trade on certain other things he is after. Chief among these is a guarantee from Bankhead and Ray-burn that the Democratic vacancies on the all-important Rules Committee will be filled with trustworthy Administration supporters. The only sure White House backer now on the committee is Representative Adolph Sabath of Chicago, slated for chairman in place of the purged John O'Connor.

The other two Democrats, Eugene Cox of Georgia and Martin Dies of Texas, are bitter anti-New Dealers. In combination with the minority Republicans they control the committee.
