From India and the east, around through South America Europe, national racial and governmental problems of stipren] importance must be solved, or a solution gotten under way," fore another January 1 rolls around.

The widespread economic depression the economic field, will arise to of 1930, with Its consequent world-wide lieve the present tension.

TVUS- GRAPHIC CROSS-SECTION FROM THE BIG NEWS STORIES OF 1930 that will carry over into 1931 shows: 1. King Carol of Rumania and his small son Michael whom he deposed upon his return from a voluntary exile for love;. 2. The opening of the London naval conference, Premier Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain presiding; 3 The charred skeleton of the British dirigible R-101. which crashed in France with a loss of 47 lives; 4. A native demonstration in India where antl-British feeling still ferments; 5. John McDonald, missing "key witness" in the xMoonoy-BUlings case as he returned to San Francisco to testify; 6.

intr 1930 are as dead now ;is the brittle and yellowed leaves of

unemployment, left & bogie of fear to world statesmen.

From the economic pioblem, in many cases; the step has been a short one to the problem of political unrest.

Britain Has Its Worries Great Britain enters- the year with

Its Indian empire problem tackled but still unsolved. The future of its rela­tions with the dominions, particularly in the economic field, as yet is unde­termined, and the spectre of increasing unemployment remains threatening in the background.

In Germany, the shaky financial situation, the rise of fascism and a growing demand from the more ardent of the country's youth Jor a whole new deal of the Versailles pack of cards, threatens trouble for the present "con­ciliation" government or any other ministry that dares tackle the situation.

Soon representatives of 28 states are to meet a t Geneva to weigh once more the pro-; and cons of Monsieur Arlstlde Briahd's plan for European confedera­tion. Political observers feel that' from that meeting something, especially in

f the newspaper files in which they .were laid to rest. In nearly all cases, the groat events that made startling headlines will never be heard from again, except by historians,

A few, however, will carry over into 1931. They were news stories that should have carried "to be continued next year", at the end. They bred headlines in 1930 and they will breed more head­lines in 1931. -

Chief among these is the story that newspapermen generally rank as the biggest story of the year—the fire in the Ohio Peni­tentiary at Columbus on April 21, in which 320 convicts were burned to death. -

\RdAS

The last embers of that fire have long since turned cold. The gaunt, warehouse-like building housing G and H cell blocks, where the 320 convicts died, has been rebuilt and refurnished. Fire-blackened walls have been made over, heat-bent iron biirs have been re­placed, and a new group of convicts oc­cupies the.spare formerly used by the men Ohio's negligence kiiled.

But the Ohio prison fire story, as a story. Is not over yet. " More will be heard from, it—much more.

The Ohto'Penitentiary was antiquated and horribly overcrowded last spring. I t was so extremely out of date that when a small fire started 320 convicts were killed before prison officials could get them to .safety. I t was so over­crowded that for a month nftcr the fire the prison was a regular powder mine, ready to explode.into a dreadful riot on j the slightest provocation. Few people realize how narrowly the worsfprlson riot in all history was averted in those days Just after the fire.

» * * Little. If Any. Changes Made Since

Holocaust

The Important thing to realize now is that little, if any. real improvement h^ been made since the fire. The conditions I rial bred trouble last spring still exist.

Last spring there were 4.300 men in the Ohio prison. Today the prison houses the same number of men.

Last sprint? the old cell blocks had an antiquated system of' individual locks for the cell doors: a system responsible for most of the 320 deaths in the fire. That systotn exists today. Another fire. wntt|rl reap the same sort of ghastly harvest.

Last spring the attorney general of

Ohio criticized the prison management for its failure to have a well-defined procedure established for safe-guaTd-lng the Inmates In case of fire. The same management Is still in charge of the prison, and the procedure demand­ed by the attorney general has not been established.

After the fire It was agreed every­where that Ohio needed an entirely new prison system. Today Ohio has the same system it had a year ago.

So the Ohio prison holocaust will figure in the news in 1931. The fire last spring revealed a problem that has not yet been solved.

Linjlc Trial May Provide. New Scn-. sations

Another of the newspaper sensations of 1930 was the. murder in Chicago of Alfred ' J a k e " Llngle, reporter for the Chicago Tribune. That story, too, will :

have a carryover In 1931. Llngle was shot down In a subway

beneath Michigan avenue by .gangsters, in broad daylight, with hundreds of people near by. It was supposed at first that he was killed because he had been too active in exposing gangland activities: then it developed that this, unfortunately, was not the case. In­stead it was shown that he had been altogether too Intimate with certain gangsters. His death came because one gang faction resented his refusal to ox-, tend to it the favors that he extended to another faction, favors he apparently was able to get because of his close connection with high police officials.

Sometime in 1931 a gangster named Kranklc Faster Is to go on trial for Llnglc's murder. At that time the story of the killing will be reviewed. So, probably, will be many of the

rumors of corruption and favoritism that were brought to the surface short­ly after his murder.

Thus the Jake Llngle case -will' be heard from In the new year.

India Threatens Bloodshed If Gandhi Grasp Fails

I n ' a broader sense, the "big story" of 1930 was probably the upheaval in In­dia. There Manhatama Gandhi, idol of millions of Indians, despaired of ever getting the concessions he wanted from the British government, and led the nation into a "passive resistance" strug­gle for complete Independence. .. Gandhi himself was arrested', and he Is now lodged In prison. His followers, however, are continuing their struggle for Independence. Hundreds of them have been killed in clashes with police and soldiers. Many more have been imprisoned.. But the struggle is as tense no was it was early in the year, and .shows no signs of abating.

Some observers fear that Gandhi's precept of non-violence will be aban­doned during the coming year—m which case an exceedingly bloody re­bellion would be loosed on the world.

The Indian struggle- for independ­ence, then, is another 1930 story which has a carry-over into 1931.

• ' * *

Still another of the "to be continued" stores of 1930 was the story of the London naval armament reduction

Signed in the spring, this trcay puts new restrictions on the navies of Kng-

' landS Japan and the United States— restrictions which will have marked ef­fects on the actions of the naval lead­ers in all of these countries during 1931. In the United StaU»s. for example, many warships will be scrapped. The battleship Utah will be towed out to sea and sunk t by gunfire as a target for the battle 'fleet. New construction will be begun, and the American Congress will have to determine just how mu:h new construction it cares to initiate.

The same Is true of the other signa­tory powers. The London naval treaty, therefore, will be in the headlines again In 1931.

Baltimore and taken back to San Fran­cisco, where he recanted the testimony he had originally, given against the two labor leaders who have been in prison since 1918 for a murder which they In­sist they did not commit.

California's supreme court twice re­viewed the case, and each time refused to recommend a pardon. ' However, California will have a new governor in 1931, former Mayor James Rolph of San Fransco; and Rolph, known to be more sympathetic to Mooney and Billings than his predecessors, is expected to reopen the case.

Then there are the stories about Carol of Rumania.

When 1930 opened Carol was a dis­inherited prince living in Paris. Unex­pectedly he went back to Rumania, taking his place as king and taking his son, Michaal.off the throne. An open break between Carol and his wife, Queen Helen developed: and it can confidently be expected that the news­papers of 1931 will have plenty of ma­terial about King Carol.

Dirigible Disaster to Make ' Safer

Airships

Mooney-Bllllnes Case up lo New Governor

is also the Mooney-Billlngs There case.

In 1930 the long missing "key wit­ness", John McDonald, was found in

One of the major tragedies of 1930 was the wreck of the big British dirigi­ble R-101, destroyed by fire over France. This, too, will have its effect in 1931. Helium gas Is being used oy all dirigibles now in place of the in­flammable hydrogen formerly' used everywhere but in the United States and this is a direct outgrowth of the R-101 disaster. Furthermore, plans for construction and operations of dirigibles in 1931 will be affected by the lessons drawn from the fate that befell the R-101.

Lastly. 1929 produced a nation-wide congressional election—the effects of which will make headlines for a long time to come. That election, wiping out Republican control of the House and Senate, put many new men into office, retired some long-established politicians from public life and gave new force to such political issues as prohibition and the power trust.

» • • Reviewing those cases, it b easv to

see that not all of the "big stories" of 1930 died immediately after they were printed. Some of the most important ones will have revivals, from t ime to time, during 1931.

BY CHARLES E. HONCE NEW YORK—(/Ph-There is a saying

that nothing is deader than yesterday's newspaper. , .

The big stories of yesterday are for­gotten as the latest murder and the latest disaster spread their screaming headlines across the nation's newspa­pers.

But all these important things of yes­terday live in some manner—in record books, in newspaper morgues, eventually in history.

Take the case of Bobby Jones, for in­stance. He won all the major golf hon­ors this year, and then, with no fur­ther worlds to conquer, abdicated and decided to go into the movies so his millions of followers might see how he did It.

There really are six stories revolving around one personality, and those six stories wll be enshrined'in the records of sport

In movies they use the flash back. Let's flash the scene 25 years ahead and find out .what Charles Augustus Lind­bergh, jr., is doing.

Will he. be a gTeat aviator or pro­moting ' aeronautics like his father? That prospective career is one reason why the birth of Lindbergh, jr.. in 1930 was an outstanding news event.

Birth and life and death—three teries and three sources of news. We' already recorded a birth. On the 19: scroll is recorded the death of Wi Howard Taft, who once was pi but who achieved the height of ambition as Chief Justice of the Unii States.

News is the strangest thing in world. No fiction can approach the e: traordinary, the horrible, the incredi! happenings of everyday life.

Sudden Tragedy Who could conceive, for example,

tremendous tragedy of the Ohio pe; tentiary fixe in which 300 -r. were burned to death.

Who could '.forecast the' great Amei can drought of 1930, which parch meadows and fields, dried up rivi caused a loss of more than one bi dollars and affected the lives of a lion farm families.

Business depression was foreshadow by the stock market crash of last yi but its effects, and the efforts to mote relief and' 'bring back prosper. provided a big human interest story.

Gangland Attacked Probably one of the b\g news ev

of the closing months of. the year the government's assault on gang! The gang situation was brought head in June by the slaying in of Alfred Lingle. a newspaper rei

And In mid-December came a story that provoked widespread discs sion—the decision of William C federal judge in New"Jersey, holding Eighteenth amendment invalid. '
