While Green was endorsing the president's program, the veteran Senator Glass said on the other side of the capitol that he opposed it because "I am not in favor of making a pawn shop out of the treasury." "And that is what it has become." said the 80-year-old former treasury secretary.

FiLOWEEtS FOR EVERY OCCASION Keefe's Casper Floral Phone 20 123 W. Second ik, Bill ROBBER SUSPECT SLAIN FUERALS Pact Is devised against another European-war. It may not prevent such an upheaval, but it wul tend to defer it. As a matter of fact, while the alliance is a most useful warning, there had been no doubt that Britain would fight for France if the latter were attacked. England also would fight for Belgium or Hollar-d or Denmark, in event of aggression against them.

There is nothing altruistic about that. The fresh dangers of the air have shoved Britain's front-line trenches forward on the continent. Her frontier is now the Rhine, as ex-Premier Baldwin once graphically described the position. A defeat oi France or the low countries north might bring an enemy of Britain to the shores of the all too narrow English channel. Harsh critics of the British government (which also has its staunch supporters), while approving the Anglo-French alliance, say the twg-edj- of it is that had it been made earlier it would have prevented a welter of trouble.

VP) Spokesmen for labor and the cities cf the nation repeated endorsements of President Roosevelt's federal spending-lending program today, countering the renewed opposition of Senator Carter Glass Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of New York, proposed that congress set up a "permanent recovery committee" and instruct it to work out a program for submission to a special session in the fall. LaGuardia appeared before a house appropriations subcommittee in his capacity as president of the United States Conference of Mayors an organization of the heads of large ctities. He said he had endorsed the president's program, but urged that it be made sufficiently flexible so all parts of the country would benefit.

He said he had been asked for suggestions and had advanced the idea cf a "permanent recovery committee composed of senior members of the major committees cf the house. "Then various bills for permanent recovery would be referred to that committee," he explained. "We've got to get the best minds oi tne country on tnis tning ana ao it damned quick." he said. Wiilliam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, had endorsed the spending-lending plan earlier as a means of meeting con ditions caused by an unemployment increase he said had totaled since September. Green appeared at a closed session of the committee.

When he left he told reporters he had "referred to the seriousness of the existing economic system" and had "recommended that congress approve the recommendations cf the president." InBusiness Items Gleaned from March of Trade AVERAGE PIANO IS 18 TEARS OLD The average age of the piano in the American home is 18 years, Ed. Saricks, of the Chas. E. Wells Music Co. said today in announcing the results of the first piano census ever taken in America.

The survey was taken for the National Piano Manufacturers association by research workers who personally visited home owners in 11 widely separated cities. It was found that there are pianos in the United States and that 53.4 per cent of all self-dependent families own pianos. Cities of from 20,000 to 100,000 population have the greatest percentage of ownership 628 pianos to every 1,000 homes. The fewest are in small cities and villages, which have only 474 per 1.G00 homes. Nearly 10 per cent of the pianos in active use are over 30 years old.

One out of every hundred is over 50 years old. As a result of the survey, piano dealers throughout the country are planning a campaign to persuade owners of obsolete and outmoded pianos to replace them with modem new Instruments.

JPh-When the German kaiser in the dark days of 1914 lashed out across prostrate Belgium at France with his mechanized legions, he had no intention of precipitating an Armageddon. He had been laboring under the belief that England wouldn't intervene. Had the all highest been able to see the truth that Britain must fight as a matter of self-preservation, if for no other reason there might have been no universal war. To put it another way. if England had been more outspoken before the upheaval and told Europe just where she stood, probably the air would not have been filled with the ashes of a burning world.

This is among the bitter lessons rvhich have inspired the new Anglo-French defensive alliance. England and France have advertised to all and sundry that they will fight together in case of attack. None now can make the kaiser's disastrous blunder. For this reason the alliance is about the best insurance thus far HOT MS jUPPOBT Largest Enrollment for Year Obtained The popularity of the concert series enjoyed the past season was evidenced by the public's response to the annual spring membership campaign by the Casper Cooperative Concert asscciatiaon. The campaign ended Saturday night, with a total membership for the 1938-39 season far exceeding that for the season just ended.

The association's membership now totals 1.102, as compared with 1,023 enrolled for the 1937-38 season. Only those with membership cards are eligible to attend the concerts. Hence, only those who enrolled in the campaign last week will be privileged to hear the artists who will be brought to Caser next winter by the association, through the assistance of the Columbia (CBS) Cooperative Concerts organization. The committee selecting the artists for next season is giving intensive study to the task and had not yet reported by Monday. An early announcement of its decision is expected.

"It was pleasing to see much enthusiastic and encouraging response to the campaign," was the comment Mcndav by Charles S. Chapin president of the Casper Cooperative Concert association, in reporting its outcome. "It was evident that the artists presented this season were liked and that the season's entertainment was a success. Every effort will bs mada to obtain even finer entertainment for the next season."

Instead, Warren came to Dion with a proposition that Dion might have control of the political machine If he would back Warren for mayor.

Keadily. Dion agreed. The deal was sealed, making young O' Leary political master of Chicago. From then on, he would control the outcome of elections. BUT Dion, with an eye to the rising resentment of th city's respectable class against the corruption in City HalL had his own plans.

Secretly, he caused a group of apparently upright citizens to approach his hard-working, honest brother. Jack (Don Ameche), with a plea that Jack run for mayor.
