John Dewey of Columbia university's philosophy department Tuesday night in a lecture at Community church expressed disappointment that the statesman had not pulled away from the Repubilcans. The professor said there has been some misunderstanding of His letter to the senator. Cites Need for Change. He said the leadership his League for Independent Political Action, of which he is national chairman, had asked Norris to take was primarily that of breaking with the old party and openly recognizing the need of a new political lineup based on the facts that prevail in this year of 1930, instead of those situations of 1820 or 1860. A breaking away on the of the senator.

according to Dewey, would be like the opening a crevasse in a dam. The opening would precipitate a flood, he asserted. "Not a Politician." The senator, according tO Dewey, "has been influenced by his environment and his associates. We thought that it he would completely break away with the things that have hampered him and held him back, he would move forwerd rapidly." have read number of editorials telling how impractical I Am, continued the professor. am not.

Control of Government. In reply the professor said: "The dominant issue is bigger than tariff; bigger than public control or ownership of the great modern utilities; bigger than any phase of the traction.

transit or transportation system; than the problem of just taxation. "The dominant issue is whether the people of the United States are to control our government, federal, state and municipal, and to use it in the behalf of the peace and welfare of society, or whether control is to go on passing into the hands of small, powerful economic groups who use all the machinery of administration and legislation to serve their own LLOYD GRANGER IS DEAD AT 32 Des Moines Postoffice Clerk Leaves Wife and Two Sons.

(Special 1 Cable Dispatch to The Register and Chicago News.) LONDON--An alarming increase of violence in India is now beginning seriously to affect the procedure of the Indian round table conference. I understand that a cablegram has been received in London from the government of India stating that unless the conference reaches some important decisions within next few days it may be necessary to resort to drastic measares.

One of these measures, it is stated, would be large scale operations on the northwest frontier. Perhaps gravest would be the proclamation of martial law in Bombay. Cites Chequers Meeting. selves. At Crucial Stage.

Indian circles here believe that Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald's meeting over the weekend at Chequers with Wedgwood Benn, Sir George Schuster, Sir Malcolm Hailey and Sir Findlater Stewart, permanent undersecretary of state, considered the situation in view of the above cable message, with hopes of speeding deliberations at St. James palace. The decisions reached at Chequers have been reported to the Liberals and Conservatives. I understand that the Chequers meeting agreed to separate electorates for the Hindus and Moslems unless -and this seems ikely- these politico-religious difterences are settled between them- There is no question that the round table conference has now erticial stage in its existence and is facing the hard facts which to have been lying like sunken reefs ahead of smooth sailing. The most vital barrier, which is to be tackled today, is the question of the "constitution, character, powers and responsibility of the federal executive," particularly the United Indian demand for complete fiscal alltonomy.

Gandhi's Plank. This forms the chief plank in Mahatma Gandhi's platform as well as that of the Indian moderates and a strong section of the Indian princes, who declare they will not come into the federation unless with a free Indian government having full responsibility at the center. It is 011 this point that Liberal and Conservative diehards might stage a stand against the Labor party's apparent willingness to concede the skillful Indian tiations here virtually With probably less than three weeks to run, it is now apparent that the round table will hardly reach conclusive agreements, so many and vital cuestions are still outstanding.

1 TEN GLANCES BACKWARD AT 1930 From a journalistic point of view, Kent Kooper, who runs The Associated Press, may be right. that 1930's "biggest news stories" were Andree, Costes-Bellente, Bobby Jones, Gandhi, the Lindbergh baby, the Columbus prison. fire, the drought, Planet Prince Carol and the burning of the R-101; but only from A journalistic point of view. Mr. names few of the really important occurrences of 1930, as events affect the lives of millions.

I doubt that Bobby Jones' victories improved the golf game of many of us. The Lindbergh heir may have stampeded a few hesitant bachelors. The drought is the only one of Cooper's 10 "biggest" that affected many people; and with farm products at the price levels, it's doubtful the drought really present, made much difference. MA HURRY HUNGRY -most important in 1930" As for Planet X-well, I undertook several expeditions to ascertain how much the alleged discovery of Planet had affected the lives of the masses. Along dark, quiet country roads I saw scores of young people parked.

Were they scanning the heavens glimpse of the new planet which had just moved into our celestial neighborhood? No: they were necking. My own list 1930's most important events may not be majestic and soul-stirring as Mr. Cooper's but here they are, roughthe order of their importance: 1. The invention of a new type of can opener which makes opening A can almost as formidable an operation as cooking a 9-course dinner. 2.

The discovery by milAmericans, through experience with stocks, that all that goes up must come down. The virtual disappearance of the ready-made or gutta-percha bow tie. 4. Realization by many, many ladies that alcohol taken internally is bad for the complexion. 5.

The battle of the century -between the one-baby family and the two-car family. 6. The suspicion that even a Republican demigod cannot abolish poverty when poverty rares up on its hind legs, and that political promises don't buy any groceries. 7. The third reincarnation of Satan--from saloonkeeper to bootlegger to home brewer.

8. Resurrection of croquet disguised as min.ature or parlor athlete's golf. 9. Surrender of the girls to the sad truth that breezy modernity frightens the men away, while oldfashioned demureness leaves them faint with happiness. 10.

Housewives' sudden discovery that with yeast, raisins and the radio they can bine wine, women song into an adornment allurement for the home, and the home's resultant return to popularity. STOCK NE MARKET HEY. DON FALL SAVER PUBLIC -what goes up comes down" There's the history of 1930, in a few pithy phrases, and without celebrities. King Carol shrinks into insignificance except in Rumania before these events that go to the very roots of American life. Gandhi is only a faint stir of new winds through the distant bamboo jungles, and young Lindbergh is left in placid obscurity suck- For delicious, appetizing foods dine at Patti's.

Claims Model Secretary Must Appease Boss' Wife Moser Says She Should Admire but Not Love Her Employer. The model private secretary should be able to adjust herself to every whim of her employer, be sympathetic, and admire him but and above all should be able to deal with his wife. Paul Moser of Chicago, president of the Moser Business college for 17 years, outlined the traits Tuesday. He is president of the National Federation of Commercial Teachers, meeting in convention here. Office, Friends Divorced.

"The successful private secretary is the one who can keep the office divorced from her friends," he declared, as he commented on the alleged prevalence of "affairs" between employers and secretaries. Personality offers the principal distinction between a stenographer and a private secretary, he declared. The stenographer masters the mechanics of typing, shorthand, bookkeeping and filing, but her ability ends there. Executive Ability. The private secretary must ing his teething ring, before these more intimate rumblings of the twentieth century.

Kings and senators, heroes and celebrities, are only a sizzling froth at the top of life. You have. to skim them off to get at the homely, vital, nourishing stew underneath. They are hitching posts for the news and gossip of the day; but life, flows past them barely flavored by their existence, through the living rooms and kitchens and bedrooms of the millions.
