Mrs. Granville Horton, home food

the Market Demonstrators.
Those in attendance were: Mes-

commission vacancy, created Feb.
15 when the six-year term of John
Wood of Timpson expired, Governor
O’Daniel shook his head and smiled
wryly.
As to when he might make a
fourth nomination, he replied:
“I just can’t say about that.”
If he wishes, he may defer an-
other appointment until after the
legislature adjourns, then make a
“recess” appointment. Such an ap-
pointee would not face confirmation
or rejection until another session,
conceivably, in absence of a special
session, until the next . .biennial meet-
ing in 1M1.
Because the senate acted behind
closed «nd guarded doors—the con-
stitution permits executive sessions
during consideration of governor’s
appointments—all reports as to what
transpired were unverified. It was
understood generally, however, that
14 senators voted against confirma-
tion, three more than the minimum
which cause rejection.
Opposition to West avowedly had
been baaed on the fact he supported
the Republican Landon for presi- tinctly a “fun” show, as five of
dent against Franklin D. Roosevelt the eight characters are typical
in 1936, but observers believed there laugh provokers. Charles D. Rhea

of the appointment, reaction among
senators seemed very favorable, but
as time passed opposition plainly
increased and for the last 10 days
past there had been persistent re-
ports West would be rejected or his
name withdrawn.
Senate opinion seemed to be in-
clining toward confirmation after
West’s appearance before the com-
mittee on governor’s nominations
and predictions were freely made
he would be approved.
Several senators said his frank
answers to questions had made a
very favorable impression. Among
various matters, he was reported to
have been asked if he would put
his public duties ahead of his priv-
ate ones, and to have replied af-
firmatively.

COL. LINDBERGH
CALLEB TO ACTIVE
DUTY IN AIR CORPS
WASHINGTON, April 18.—In a
move to assure U. S. leadership in
the field of Military aviation, Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh was called to
active service in the air corps Tues-
day. The announcement, which came
as a surprise, was made by Secre-
tary of War Woodring Tuesday,
just a few days after expert wit-
nesses had told congressional com-
mittees that Germany was building
better planes than the United
States.
The announcement stated that Col.
Lindbergh, an Air Corps Reserve of-
ficer, had gone on active duty and
would make a survey of American
aviation research facilities for the
Army Air Corps.
The “Lone Eagle” reported Tues-
day at the office of the chief of the
air corps, Maj. Gen. Henry Arnold.
He then departed on an inspection
trip to research centers. Later he
will make a confidential report to
General Arnold.
Besides his world-known experi-
ences as a practical flier, Lindbergh
has been in close touch, during his
prolonged stay abroad, with the aer-
onautical accomplishments in Eu-
rope. In his capacity as reserve col-
onel, and as a member of the na-
tional advisory committee for aero-
nautics, he has kept officials here in
touch with developments which
came under his observation. Lind-
bergh recently returned to the Unit-*
ed States to ran indefinite stay.
Apart from Lindbergh's knowl-
edge of planes, it was believed that
Woodring was counting on his world
| renown to dramatize the research
problem and thereby facilitate action
on it.

BERLIN, April 19.—The move-
ment of fleets of warships by dif-
ferent European countries today
drew careful attention of statesmen
of different countries.
More than 25 warships of the
German navy today moved ynto
Spanish waters, going from Kiel
and Wilhelmshaven.
French warships have taken over
patrol of the srtaights of Gibral-
tar while the British Mediterranean
fleet concentrated in the region
about Malta, the British base in that
sea.
Political developments were over-
shadowed today by preparations for
celebration of Adolf Hitler’s fiftieth
birthday Thursday.
Attacks on President Roosevelt
continue, apparently preparatory to
Hitler’s answer to the President
promised before special session of
the Reichstag on April 28.
Hitler and his chief lieutenant.
Field Marshal Herman Wilhelm
Goering, returned to Berlin tonight
for the birthday celebration.
The chancellor had spent 10 days
in his Bavarian mountain home, in
Munich where he conferred about
President Roosevelt’s week-end .peace
appeal and in Austria, where he
inspected progress in training Aus-
trian soldiers along the Prussian
pattern.
Field Marshal Goering had been
in Italy since March 22, when he
resumed a vacation, and was under-
stood to have discussed Rome-Ber-
lin replies to Mr. Roosevelt’s mes-
sage. Hifler summoned the reich-
stag for April 28 to hear his reply
to Roosevelt.
Garrison troops at Potsdam, near
Berlin, and elsewhere went through
final parade drill for the birthday
display, in which 45,000 soldiers will
goosestep before Hitler, foreign of-
ficials an crowds of citizens.
Air traffic over Berlin was ban-
ned from tomorrow night until
Thursday night. A warning was
issued that anti-aircraft guns were
ready for use against planes dis-
obeying the order.
