AGAIN, DELAY GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT has VJ expressed himself as "horn' fled" that anybody should think him in favor of a general sales tax at this time as a means of balancing the budget.

But he sueeests no alternative. Here is the weakness of the President elect that he raises objections to anything which the present Administration proposes but presents no plans of his own. There remains only one of two conclusions either Mr. Roosevelt ha no definite plans, which is stiongly to be suspected or he wants all the credit to go to himself for whatever relief meas'ires the new Congress shall enact. He desires to be the magician to wave the magic wand.

Well, he will learn that to wave the wand is ne thing, but to make the rabbit hop out of the hat is quite another. There is absolutely no excuse for the attitude of Roosevelt in matters of current importance. Debt settlements press for solution, and he twiddles his thumbs or pouts like a spoiled child. The budget remains to be balanced, and he is "horrified" over the only possible method to accomplish the worthy etd. We would like to be patient with Mr.

Roosevelt. We would like to feel that he is really trying his very best to help get the country out of the doldrums and the world on the high road back to prosperity. But there is no sign that he has either anything worthwhile to suggest or that he is interested in anything more than to be the big frog in the puddle. A sorry spectacle for a man with his INTERESTING' AT LEAST SCIENTIFIC gentlemen gathered in Atlantic City are receiving a parcel of very interesting "dope." For example, Dr. Franz Boas tells them that human habits are not deeply ingrained but can be readily changed by environment; a comet bigger than Halley's once smashed into South Carolina with results almost as disastrous as the Smith candidacy in the South in 1928; land in this region is sagging at the rate of 3V4 inches a century, so that New York City will be a mile under water in 10,000,000 years if something isn't done about it, and the inundation may make the bathing beach unnecessary at our own Island Park.

These are matters of considerable Interest. We like to read about them and do nothing about them, even though doing something might be possible. Anyway, It's fine to know that human nature isnt the contrary creature we had always Imagined, that even a comet cant put the old earth out of businest and that the threatened flood is going to be postponed HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH THURSDAY EVENING DECEMBER 29, IV32 until a data long after even our well known and justly celebrated interest in Harrisburg and its surroundings has been forgotten a few milleniums or so. Science in dis coveries like these is at once startling and consoling. And anyway, we dont have to believe it if we dont want to.

NORRIS AND BEER OENATOR NORRIS. professed dry. has come out for the passagt of the beer bill as means of saving tne tugnteentn There are others who sincerely believe that "hard liquor" can be better restrained by legalized 3.2 per cent, beer than by any other means. Their logic is this. NA bill legalizing 3.2 per cent, beer would be Dut ud to the Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court should decide that beer of this strength is not in fact intoxicating, then it comes within the limits of the prohibition amendment, becomes taxable to the extent of millions of dollars it now escapes, and stands as an argument against trifling with the really intoxicating beverages forbidden by the prohibition laws. Of course there will be those who will oppose this view, and who will see no possible good in the legal izing of any kind of drink, but when a man of Norris' well known conviction on the subject takes the stand he does, his views are en titled to some consideration. AN ERRING SON YOUNG GORDON GODOW SKY, son of the famous Leopold Godowsky, is dead by his own hand, aged 26. The lesson in this is that if young Godowsky had been born of parents in ordinary position he might be alive, usefully employed and happy. Too much money for his own good at the hands of his parents.

a nasty ana considered marriage, and then disinheritance by his father, desertion by his bride obscurity, poverty, despair. That is the sad story of a young man who owes his downfall, perhaps, more to his family than to him self. There are many young Godow skys, sons of wealthy and prominent families, whose parents make their way all too easy for them and who "dis own" them when they make their first grave error. The son bears the punishment, the weight of which ought to lie most heavily on the shoulders of erring parents. All unconsciously a father In such position makes a place which his son, willy nilly.

is expected to fill. Instead of surrounding him with luxuries, pampering his de sues and filling his purse with money, it is the duty of the par ent to make him understand that to live up to the reputation of famous father is a hard task, for which there must be long and careful preparation. In instances of the kind here cited, the disgrace should rest not upon the erring son, but upon a parent whose lack of understanding is the basis of the tragedy.

HERETHEetVtRYWHPf Happenings in Spain Since the recent revolution in Spain there has been a vast im nrovement in the status of women. One of them leads in prison and divorce reform. Under the new regime there are five divorces daily, which is far below the American record.

Women are no longer a rarity in parliament and are con tributing their full share of initia tive and responsibility in politics. Thanks to the intervention of Se nora Victoria Kent of Enslish and Spanish descent prison reform in Spain has reached unheard of di mensions. Today the orisons of Spain are said to be considered model institutions for the rest of Europe. Under her guidance all prisoners over seventy are automatically set at libertv. Thus there is no such thing in Spain todav as a life long sentence.

Senora Kent is among the forefront of those ad vocating speedy divorce proceedings for her country women hitherto enslaved in the chains of unwelcoming matrimony. France and the Gold Stock Incidental to the renort that South Africa is about to drop the koio. stanaara comes a story that Prance is sitting on too of one fifth of the world's gold wondering what to ao witn it. Frenchmen are said to invest savings in their stockings rather than in ministerial seats. When all is said and done, observes an Americanized newspaper, it must be some satisfaction to a minister to feel that he is sitting on 22,222 francs' worth of seat.

French ministers are not in the habit of sitting on any sort of seat too long. Ed Wynn's Fun Period He is not always a comedian, is Ed Wynn, and he takes seriously the business of making fun, so much so that he favors a fun pe riod for the schools.

Joe Mitchell ChaDDle's maeazine is authority for the statement that in the event of Al Smith election to the Presidency Wynn would have functioned as his "Secretary of Humor." He has definite theories on the subject and believes "we should cultivate a sense of humor in life to better cope with its Strug gies. so ne suggests a niteen min ute course in humor in every school If ttie child were talented, he adds, he could bring his own laugh line to school every morning: if not, he might quote from others.

Nudity in Europe It's one thing after another in Europe and when a woman shall appear in the "altogether" is dis turbing Warsaw where the upper court has decided tnat nude dancers must not break contracts.

There are several kinds of nudists, the hot house cult being the leader. It likes to adorn the human body with bits of draoery. and a lew Deads amid the play of colored lights. It is said there are people who re ouire to see the nude thrown out of focus on the stage in order to get a kick out of sex appeal. Recently a Warsaw theater en gaged a nude dancer on a long contract.

Both parties did very well by their agreement, the dancer re ceiving a high salary ana tne inea ter owner sold out houses. One dav thi dancer did not turn un and twenty four hours later a handsome elderly eentieman called on tne theater man and explained after ten years of married Me he did not intend to have his wife go on the staee as a nude dancer. He would allow her to finish her engagement but only if properly ciotned. Then the court takes a hand on a suit for breach of contract. Finally, Solomon like, the judge hit upon the idea of the dancer appearing before him that he might decide the nudity charge.

He determined the contract must run its course, but the dancer could not appear against the will of her husband. Either she or her husband must dsv the variety owner correspond ing damages. At last the couple naid a comnaratively small, sum and the show went on, the nudist appearing with a great deal more on than before. Shortly the dancer got a divorce from her husband and continued her career as a nude dancer with a lot of free adver tising. Johnson's "New DeaV Hiram Johnson says he wants a "new deal" for the Republican party.

The only new deal he or any of the other renegades are entitled to is to be excluded from Republican caucuses or conferences unless and until they are willing to agree to abide by the results thereof. So long as these men consider themselves bigger and better than the party the party is better off without them. So far as Johnson is concerned, he has done his best to defeat two candidates of the Republican party for the office of President at the same time that he himself was being intrusted by the party with high office. If this is not treachery, then what is it? There are four or five others who are no better. They seem to think the party label is a fine thing to get elected under, but of no interest to them for another six years.

There are signs that their constituents are beginning to wake up to the true situation. The party will be much stronger to have Democrats in their plaoes if real Republicans cannot be nominated and elected thereto. F. L. Ferry, in N.

In the old days, as I recall IT, the hockey players were entirely content if THEY could finish an evening with a record of HAVING mashed in an opposing nose or clipped TWO or three inches from the ear of a COMBATANT. But now, as I get it from THOSE who have been close enough to the ice TO get showered with the gore from the field of BATTLE, the boys call that night lost when they HANG up their skates without laying at least TWO or three of their opponents in the hospital. THE sound of breaking bones, as sticks are SWUNG viciously on hapless shins, the joyous RACKET of flesh being torn briskly from SHOULDERS and backs, the jolly rasp of skate on FACE, has become the accepted ensemble of SOUND from the rink, and when the boys are SLAPPED into the penalty box from time to TIME, they gloweringly plan a new and more MURDEROUS scheme of attack in which they can ACQUAINT the insurance agents present with new AND better ways of manslaughter.

'ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK EW YORK. Ever see a bon go? I'm sure you havent, for the only one ever taken alive has just been purchased by the Bronx zoo. And there are very few heads In the museums of the world. The eentlemen who study mam malia in the Bronx get all excited whenever a rare addition to the menagerie is expected. They get as fussed up as fond parents awaiting junior's vacation from college.

When I was out at the zoo the other afternoon they were in a high state of excitement over the com ing of the young bongo from East Africa. They were concerned about how she would stand the sea voyage, and about just what the bongo would expect of them when she You see. they know so little about the habits and tastes of the bonzo that they were puzzled as to how to arrange her boudoir and her diet. There was no question the arrival of the bongo would be a great event in the lives of Dr. W.

Reid Blair, i i i i unrvwi ui wic Kjuiugitai ui. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of mammals, their assistants, and the more enthusiastic members of the zoological society. By WILLIAM GAINES The infant bongo wandered away from its mother in the Aber dare mountains and was snared by Colonel E. Percy Smith, retired British army officer, who had but one purpose in life at the time to capture a bongo.

The boneo is the second largest of the antelope tribe, the elancu alone out measuring him. Its color is chestnut, with white, zebra like body stripes. Both sexes have horns which sometimes are 30 inches long. The adult animal is so wild that it has eluded expedition after expedition, but advance reports said the baby bongo coming to America turned out to be very tame. We are told that the artisan who takes pride in his hand work is coming back in America to challenge the machine age.

Perhaps the challenge won't make a very big dent in the general scheme of things, but persons who are connoisseurs of craftsmanship may get some glow out of a project of the Y. W. C. A. and the New York Society qf Craftsmen.

A studio has been opened on Tenth avenue to accommodate visit in. craftsmen who are executing or ders in New York, and pupils who are taking up the study oi tne crafts. It occupies a two story building and contains vats for dye ing, looms for weaving, properly equipped tables and benches for metal work, leather tooling, wood carving and so on. The craftsmen's society is an old organization, but didn't cut such a figure until there came a renewal of interest recently in hand work. The membership of master raftsmen is a large one now, and the society has an exhibition gallery in tlw Art Center.

It will outline his attitude on public utility legislation, economy of gov ernment, changes necessary to bring the expenditures for public school purposes into line with reduced revenues, further proposals lor unemployment reiier, revision of the State highway program and other matters of almost equal im portance. As the Governor com mands the votes of at least fifty of the Republicans of the House, with very strong friends for some of his policies among the sixty five Democrats, he goes into the Legislature in a stronger position than appeared likely at the last special session, when his following was not organized and for the most part wandered all over the legislative map, with only Repre sentatives wade and Shelter taK ing leading parts in the proceedings. Furthermore, there are growing signs that the Democrats may decide to do business with the executive end of the government quite as frequently as with the State organization, especially when their two legislative programs hap pen to coincide, which they seem to do on quite a few points. That there will be more trading the coming session than has been nec essary ordinarily in Pennsylvania appears to be certain. It will be necessary at times to prevent a oeaoiocK on closely debated questions, and all concerned appear to be giving not a little thoueht to nos sioiuiies aiong tnis line, a numoer of committee places will be parceled out with this thought, if present plans carry.

At all events, what the Governor will have to say in his message will serve as a guide to those who follow him in legislative matters, and will be interesting especially as he sets forth, as he is expected to do, some new de partures from his program of last session. For example, there are those who expect that he will have less to say abo it "hiring and firing" members of the Service Commission, now that his ap pointees are in control, and there is a persistent report that he may decide to urge the taking over of all townshin roads by the state a departure of extreme importance and one involving relief from local taxation. Senator Salus' declaration in favor of repeal of the uniform primary act is in accord with con victions he expressed years ago. It is regarded as certain that the entire Philadelphia delegation, including the Democratic members, will vote for repeal, but the attitude of the election reform groups is not outlined, Thomas J. Walker, spokesman for them in Philadelphia, declining to be quoted.

They always have been opposed to this change and it is doubtful if they will change now, although indications are that there are sufficient votes in House and Senate to put a retealer up to the Governor regardless of how the reformers feel. Whether or not the Governor, who has been twice a beneficiary of the uniform primaries, would agree to such a bill is questionable.

Senator Coyne, speaking before a legislative committee last session, expressed the belief that more farmers have been put out of business by such regulations than by all other forces combined, and he expressed himself as opposed to them. Unfortunate, But Irrelevant Wall Street Journal It is unfortunate that the British government, in its admirably tem perate and lucid exposition of the war debts difficulty, should have included this sentence: "The initiative in devising a settlement of reparations was taken by the creditor governments of Germany at Lausanne with the cognizance and approval of the United States Government." Literally correct though it is, that sentence has the unpleasant flavor of an attempt to burden the United States with responsibility for what was done at Lausanne, a responsibility that has more than once been totally rejected by our Government. The Lausanne agreement was signed July 7, 1932. On July 14 President Hoover made public the text of a letter he had written Senator Borah that day, in which the President said: "Our people are, of course, gratified at the settlement of the strictly European problem of reparations or any of the other political or economic questions, that have impeded European recovery.

Such action, together with the real progress in disarmament, will contribute greatly to world stability. "i wish to maKe it adequately clear, that the United states has not been consulted regarding any of the agreements reported by the press to have been concluded recently at Lausanne and that, of course, it is not a party to, nor in any way committed to, any such agreements." But even before that letter was written, namely, on July 12, Prime Minister MacDonald said in the House of Commons: "And for one, although America has never uttered a pledge so far as I know, nor in any way indicated how she is prepared to meet us. believe there is no nation in the world more ready to lend a hand in straightening out the entanglements and troubles with which we are surrounded than America and her people." So much for "the cognizance and approval of the United States Gov ernment" a regrettable phrase. But no matter what use may be made of it by the die hards ia Congress, the relation of our Government to Lausanne is whollv ir relevant to the matter now in hand.

Pa. Why do we rive the railroads a square deal by transferring a lot of motor hauled freight on our nign wavi to them, where it properly be longs, Incidentally making these highways much safer for passenger automobiles as a consequence i Belgium has already enacted legislation to that effect and Great Britain is about to do the same. The great public works financed by huge Dono issues mean increased taxes for railroads, which are doing a constantly diminishing business.
