Mother Cabrini, who devoted her life to Italian immigrants in the United States and became a natur- alized American herself, was bea- tified in moving ceremonies in St. Peter's cathedral. George Cardinal Mundelein, archbishop of Chicago, who cele- brated the beatification Mass, paid Mother Cabrini tribute in the first radio broadcast delivered by an American prelate from the Bas- ilica in St. Peter's. While Pope Pius XI vfas officiat- ing at the high altar an accumu- lation of wax caught fire in the base of one of the wooden chan- deliers holding candles around a bronze altar canopy. Vatican firemen were called but they decided the flames were no danger. GOP ATTACK ON NEW DEAL LAWS SEEN Washington — (AP) -r Kepnib- licans in the 1939 congress, it ap- peared today, will concentrate - on frying to modify a half dozen New Deal laws rather than advancing many new proposals of their own. The augmented minority, prob- ably aided by anti-administration Democrats, is expected to center its amendment campaign on the) Wagner \Labor Act and the crop, control program. ' Various opposition members also have expressed a desire to revise the social security, wage- hour, tax and neutrality legisla- tion. Although • administration forces may agree to some minor changes, they are certain to fight any demands for general rewrit- ing of these statutes. The Labor Relations Board al- ready has insisted that no revision of the Wagner Act is necessary. Business men, on the other hand, generally have contended \the law is one-sided in favor of labor. They have suggested amendments to limit the Tight to strike and to make labor equally responsible •with management for the perfor- mance of contracts. Some had ad- vocated that labor unions be in- corporated. From President William Green of the American Federation of La- bor have come suggestions that the law be amended to insure \impartiality\ by the Labor Board. Chairman John L. Lewis of the CIO, however, has predict- ed there will be no change in the act. Administration leaders strate- gically hold the upper hand on this and other issues, because the President could veto any amend- ments of which he disapproved and a two-thirds majority then Would be necessary to enact them. ALBANY GETS FIRST SNOW OFSEASON Albany^CAF)—The first snow of the season fell -today in Albany. The snow, accompanied by rain, melted quickly.

OGDENSBURG JOURNAL Japan Refuses To End Yangtze River Blockade Tokyo—(AP)—The Japanese government today rejected the protests of the United States, Great Britain and France against the closing of the Yangtze River to all but Jap- anese vessels. In separate notes handed to arnbassadors of the three powers, the government declared military operations still made navigation of the Yangtze dangerous and for that reason foreign vessels must be barred.

HAIRDRESSERS WAGE MINIMUM ORDER ASKED New York— (AP) — Harry M. Spiro, president of the State Hair- dressers and Cosmetologists Asso- ciation, asked, today that-the pres- ent minimum wage of $16.50 for a 45-hour work week be made man- datory for beauty shop employes. In a letter to Miss Frieda S. Miller, state industrial commis- sioner, Spiro said that widespread violations of the minimum, which was established by the state labor department last August, threat- ened \a complete breakdown\ of the wage scale in the industry. Failure of the Labor Depart- ment to provide penalties for vio- lations, Spiro said, had placed \honest employers\ at a disadvan- tage. GETS OFF BUS 250 MILES SHORT OF DESTINATION Syracuse—(AP)—Believing they were In New \York City, Mrs. Anna Devine of Mrkland Lake, Ont., Can., and her nine-year-old son, Edwin, disembarked from a bus here approximately 250 miles short of their intended destination. They discovered their error when they climbed into a taxi, gave the driver a New York City address and were informed the charge would be $40. The pair jumped from the cab in such haste they left their luggage behind. The amazed taxi driver reported to police, who broadcast a radio alarm. Some time later a detective found the bewildered Mrs. Devine and her son on a- street corner, inquiring the way to the bus sta- tion. Immigration Officer Michael Costello took the pair into \pro- tective custody\ pending efforts to locate Mrs. Devine's husband. Summary of Notes A foreign office statement sum- marizing the notes said: Although Japan has no intention of deliberately hampering com- merce and navigation of third pow- ers in the Yangtze, the Japanese government holds the view that the time has not yet arrived to warrant a general opening-\ The summary listed five reasons for Japan's refusal to open the river: 1. The blockade at Klangyto, 80 miles up the Yangtze from Shang- hai, is still in effect. 2. Large-scale military opera- tions are in progress to the Han- kow area. 3. Continued presence of Chi- nese guerrillas along the river. 4. Continued mining of the river by the Chinese. 5. Some time will be required be- fore the river is cleared, of mines. The three powers delivered their representations to Japan Nov. 1, protesting that their vessels were being barred from the Yangtze while Japanese vessels were per- mitted to .enter,.andjeaye at will. A foreign office spokesman said last week that the protests were \based on .misinforma- tion*' and that \Japanese ves- sels were used for military purposes only, not commer- cial.\ Japan still has not answered the note of Secretary of State Cordell Hull, Oct. 6, demand- ing continuation of the \open door\ in China. Meanwhile, Japan and Germany were preparing to conclude a curl- tural pact designed to bring the peoples of the two nations closer together. Tie plan, which still is pending before the privy council, provides for mutual recognition of the respective \racial principles\ of the two countries and mutual co- operation in sports, literature, the arts, music, plays and radio.

The origins, of these and 14S other slang phrases, \snappy comebacks\ and cliches in 20th Century usage will go on exhi- bition Thursday at the univer- sity in the form or marked first editions in which they first appeared in print. \In weeks of research, we have found hundreds of cliches In use now which originated more than a century ago,\ Li- brary Director Charles D. Ab- bott disclosed today. *TU tell the world\ William Shakespeare declared 335 years ago in Measure for Measure and the immortal bard lived up to his promise because researchers found he told the world with more mod- ern phrases than any other au- thor. Charles Dickens was sec- ond as a phrase coiner. \The game is up,\ Shake- speare wrote in Cymbeline. He coined \laugh yourselves into stitches\ in Twelfth Night and complained that things were \not so hot\ in Winter's Tale more than three centuries ago. A Dickens character in the Tale of Two Cities was as \thin as a lath,\ while another in David Copperfleld was \no- tody's enemy but his own\ in 1850. Robert Burton wanted to \build castles in the air\ 288 years ago In the anatomy of melancholy and Elizabeth Bar- rett Browning did \not dare to call my soul ray own\ in an 1857 poem. The little French lawyer by Beaumont and Fletcher had \one foot In the grave\ 291 years ago. \Much might be said on both sides,\ Josephy Addison ad- mitted in The (Spectator in 1711. A woman mentioned in Fes- tus by Philip James Bailey in 1861 had \beauty bnt skin deep\ and 352 years ago a Wife was first called \my bet- ter half\ by Sir Philip Sidney in Arcadia. Something in Sam Butler's Hudibras caused a character's mouth to water,\ more than 250 years ago. \I'm no angel\ wrote Wil- liam Thackeray in Vanity Fair about 1848, little dreaming he was writing 1 a movie title for use almost a century later.
