Court Reorganization.
WASHINGTON- ( IT) The 75th
eongress systematically passed more
legislation to improve the efficiency
of the federal judiciary than any
other recent congress.
Much of the program died with ad
journment, but is certain to be re
vivod by its sponsors and pushed to
enactment in some form by the 7 6th
congress.
The series of laws began a year
ago with the measure which hastened
the death of the supreme court re

New Regulations in 3 Months
In three months, new regulations;
for civil procedure in district courts,
go into effect. They were promul-,

authorization 01 a 19C4 law providing
they might be suspended by congress.
A number of minar laws to ex

Swastika Unit
in Britain Led
by Veterinary
Arnold S. Leese Uses Slogan "Aryan
izaticn Is Civilization' Has
Eight-Point Program.
By JAN II. YINDRICK
LONDON (UP) Britain's "Julius
Streicher" is a pleasant mannered,
red-faced veterinary surgeon, v. ho
used to buy mules for the British
army in East Africa.
His publication is a penny month
ly tailed The Fascist, which is not
connected with Sir Oswald "Moslcy.
His badge is a black swastika in a
white circle superimposed on a Union
Jack and his watchword is, "Aryan
ization is Civilization."
His name is Arnold S. Leese and
he is director genera! of the Impe
rial Fascist League and editor of The
Fascist. Attention has been called
to his activities lately by the dis
covery of anti-Jewish pamphlets in
parked automobiles and by anti
Jeuish speeches at the league's
meetings.
This correspondent interviewed
Leese in his dingy three-room head
quarters from which. propaganda
goes out to different parts of the em
pire. A huce Union Jack, with a
swastika in the center, was pinned
on the wall of one room, with a pic
ture of Gen. Francisco Franco along
side. On another vail was a poster
advertising Lesse's publication. Black
swastikas were plentiful.
Wears Swastika Armband
Leese is a corpulent, iron-gray
haired man of r.!. with a small fair
mustai he. He wore a crumpled gray
flannel sr.it with an armlet made of
a Union Jack with swastika super
imposed on his left arm and he had
an enamel swastika badge edged
with red. white and blue in his lapel.
Leese told the story of his life and
the Imperial Fascist League. His
words were conservational without
a trace of fanaticism, although he
said that to belong to the league a
person had to be a fanatic. He said
there were 2.0"o members of the or
ganization, which also has affiliates
The learue was founded bv Leese
and four others in 192S on a C 5
(?25) note, with the object of fight
ing democracy, establishing the lead
er principle and expelling Jews from
the British Empire. Leese is the
only one left of the original quartet.
He said that he served six months
imprisonment in 153C on two charges
of seditions libel. The case arose out
of an article in The Fascist.
Has Eight-Point Prog-ram
Expulsion of Jews from the Brit
ish Empire and their segregation on
some island, such as Madagascar, is
one of the main planks in the eight
point program of the league. Other
points of the program are:
Provision of adequate protective
forces to assure the safety of the
empire.
Preservation of the national char
acter, particularly of the priceless
and worldwide reputation of the
1 Briton for honesty.
Elimination of evil, alien influ
ence. Deliverance from the gold stand
ard, and adoption of a "scientific
monetary policy."
Federation of the empire's foreign
policy.
Protection of industries.
Compulsory arbitration in indus
trial disputes and cessation of in
dustrial civil war.

JOLO. r. I. (I'D The glories of
the
pearling industry in the Sulu
Sea are fast fading.
European rearmament and world
depression have left little money in
the pearl market, according to Jack
Marco, who has been buying Sulu
pearls for 10 years.
Eight fishing boats are carrying
on a business that a few years ago
occupied 7 0
vessels and 700 men.
Pearls once valued at $10,000
are !
now worth a tenth as much.

Moros were the world's best pearl
rivers until the advent of diving

placing them. Marco told the United
Press. Moro swimmers could plunge
to the bottom of the sea and collect
oysters for three minutes before re-
turning to the surface for air. 1 lie

Japanese have adapted themselves
more readily to modern equipment.
Each year. Marco returns to Paris.
the world's pearl marketing center,
to learn changes in styles and price.
Stvles change from pear-shaped to
round pearls, from pink to yellow in
tint.
"As a general rule." Marco said,
"people of various nations buy in
tints to match their complexions. In
North America, the pink shades from
the Sulu Sea and the Persian Gulf are
the best. The darker-skinned Latin
Americans prefer yellow shades from
Australian waters. Scandinavians
buy pure white pearls.
Black Pearls From Tahiti
"If an Australian aborigine should
want black pearls, they could be ob
tained from Tahiti, if he were pre
pared to pay the price.
"The Chinese also use pearls for
medicine. They grind the culls to be
a fine powder and spray the power
on wounds."
Pearl divine: is one of the world's
most dangerous eccuriations. Marco
believes. Sharks, octopi and huge
fish frequently attack the divers.
Some of the men rise too quickly
from the water and di-3 of the bends.
Most pearls, he said, are form
ed around the tiny larvae of a para
site, a flat worm which works its
way into the young oysters in some
waters. The pearl becomes a tomb
surrounding the worm.
