U. S., BRITAIN SILENT / ON TECHNICAL WORK metica May Offer Plans That Will Temporarily. Curb Good Will. By JOHN L. BALDERSTON. London, Feb. 2 (N.Y.W.N.S.) —With much of the “heavy underbrush” of formalities and methods of procedure out of its way the London naval con- ference enters a critical phase tomor- row, the beginning of its third week of work. Some of the chief movers of the American and other delegations are nervous lest the inevitable sharp arguments and initial wide diver- gencies of opinion that will emerge in the pending negotiations may change the tone of the press of the five strongest naval powers, groping together here for a road to inter- national peace. Thus far, the wor'd press admittedly has-been on the whole friendly and optimistic. The conference enters its third week with only one achievement to” its eredit—adoption as a basis for discus- sion of the proposed French com- promise between rival tethods of determining how limitation is*to be effected, by total tonnage or by cate- gories. | May Talk Figures Soon. Tt is-anticipated that-virteWreek the | @elegates will begin to talk figures, 4 gingerly at first, in an effort to fill in / the blanks in the draft of the French _ ‘proposal presented to the conference last week. Upon the success of the various delegations in this effort rests acceptance, rejection or amendment of the French scheme. Probably the most acute, political analyst among all the delegates here told me today that he is neither , optimistic nor pessimistic. Since none of the chief difficulties has yet been tackled with bare hands he thinks predictions as to ultimate success or failure are as yet meaningless, and he expressed fear that the too optimistic writings of correspondents to date may be changed when the rows start. On the other hand, he said that forebodings are equally premature. Warning Is Sounded, It ts advisable at this moment to gound a word of warning as to what may come from the American delega- tion itself. While there has been no difficulty throughout in finding out in general terms what the French, Italians and Japanese have been con- ‘gidering and discussing, the British and Americans have kept remarkably silent about their technical work. But for three days last week the \ American naval advisers worked hard - to _ Latin powers. and long with our delegates over technical questions involved in the American program, and it can be in- ferred that expert pressure, loyally supported by Secretary of the Navy Adams, will result in proposals that may seem tempdrarily to nullify the splendid work of the nontechnical delegates in spreading good feeling and the impression that all existing differences can be reconciled. It is even possible that some of our ‘delegates would prefer not to make the initial demands that we shall *. make, but when it come to figures, our delegation, like every other, must take a nationalist point of view, and thereby will incur sharp criticism. A demand for 21 cruisers instead of 18 is a case in point. French Plan Only Achievement. A tendency unduly to magnify the importance of the French tonnage. compromise proposal is inevitable be- cause it stands alone to date as a ‘positive achievement. But those who have taken part in the negotiations believe the most hopeful sign is what Premier Andre TVardieu calls the “will agree,” which undeniably exists. The French delegation came here half wonvinced that some Anglo-American understanding had been reached which France could not accept and prepared, to withdraw from the con- ference, with the assured support of French public opinion.“ That this is true has been frankly admitted by Tardieu himself. Some of the British and Americans, on the other hand, came in a mood of fear and suspicion about the probable attitude of the YI 5 Aiegcs ma _All. the have been swept away and Tardieu, as well as Foreign Minister Aristide Bri-. ,and, is now convinced that a five- power’-treaty is in French interests.

HOBINOON PREDICTS QUGCEDO OF PARLEY Tells Radio Audience Previ- ry ous Navy Cut Efforts Have Paved the Way. OUTLINES U: S. POBITION ew New York, Feb. 2 (A,P.) —Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, member of the United States delega- tion to the naval conference at Lon- don, today told an American radio audienre that “previous conferences and diplomatic negotiations have un- questionably prepared the way for probable success” of the conference. Speaking from London over a hook- up of the Columbia Broadcasting sys- tem, the Democratic leader in the Senate requested his colleagues in that body “not to grow impatient because of the delay here.” He asked them to think of the de- lays in the Senate “since the tariff red was brought forth,” and contin- ued: “Surely we shall not fail here with- out full consciousness of the sigrifi- cance of our failure. It means a re- newal and quickening of naval con- struction and consequent anxiety among the people of thé naval pow- ers certain to bring forth insecurity and suspicion.” Outlining some points of the American delegation’sa position, Sena- tor Robinson said: “We would abolish the submarine. Failing in that, our desire is to re- merchant vessels. “Succeeding in arrangement after cruisers, submarines and destroyers, we desire also to reduce the battleship replacement program contemplated by the Washington conference treaty. All limitations and reductions sup- ported by our delegation are condi- tioned that equality between Great Britain and the United States shall result.” \ The senator mentioned ‘several of the difficulties attendant upon the conference, but said “We hope in con- cert with other delegations to find a basis of agreement fair to all.” strict its number and its use against LEAKING FUMES KILL THREE IN BALTIMORE Ten More Are Overcome by Break in 4-Inch Gas Main Under Street.

The dead were all members of one family. Six of those overcome lived in adjoining houses and four were firemen who re- sponded with resuscitating apparatus. The dead are Henry Witzler, 69; his wife, Mary Witzler, 69, and their son, Patrick Witzler. Their bodies were discovered by firemen. Presence of the gas was detected by Miss Lauretta King, who was awaken- ed by the coughing of her 4-year-old step-brother, Earl Bayne. She found her mother, and stepfather overcome, and notified the police. Fire department ambulances were rushed to the scene, and in an ad- joining house Mrs. Eva Siske and her daughter, Eva, were found overcome. The ten who suffered from the effects of the gas-were taken to hospitals and all but four were able to return to their homes later in the day.

CHARGES ADVANCED BY SENATOR WALSH Any Move by President Held Embarrassing to Ambassadors. PRESENT MEASURE APPROVED BY BOTH Montanan’s Statement Issued by Democratic Committee. (Associated Press.) A statement that eighteen auto- mobile manufacturers of Detroit had appealed to President Hoover to pro- test to the French and German gov- ermments against any reprisals on American-made automobiles and parts for “prohibitive” tariffs car- ried in the Hawley-Smoot bill was made yesterday by Senator Walsh, of Montana, acting Democratic ‘eader in the Senate. Issued t through the Democratic na- tional committee, the statement said the auto makers were “apprehensively awaiting” an answer from Mr. Hoover. Exports to France alone amounted to 15,000 automobiles and 700 ‘trucks worth $32,000,000 last year, Senator Walsh said, adding that under “the proposed French retaliatory tariff” this number would “shrink to an in- consequential number.” Recalling that Ambassa@or Edge at Paris and Ambassador Sackett at Ber- lin, were members of the Senate finance committee and helped rewrtie sumed their foreign posts, Senator Walsh said the Detroit manufacturers probably were “unmindful of the em- barrassment” in which they involve the President and the in their behalf. Both Were Committee Members. “Both Ambassadors Edge and Sack- ett.” he said, “were members of the finance committee which levied pro- ‘hibitive duties on French and Ger- man importations, and as loyal pro- tectionists they gave sanction to the duties agafmst which French and German manufacturers generally have protested and would have their countries retaliate on America by erecting special tariff barriers to in- crease the difficulties of the impor- tation of her autos.” It would seem, therefore. the Montanan asserted. that in asking the two ambassadors to protest to the French and German governments, the President has “forced his am- bassadors into the position of sup- Continued on Page 5, Column li.

DREADED FUNCTIONS OF FORMAL SOCIETY Admits That She Was Not Impressed at First by Chewning. SENATOR’S BLESSING GIVEN YOUNG COUPLE Honeymooners at Norfolk Tell of Love After Their Meeting Last Fall. By EDWARD T. FOLLIARD. (Copyright, 1930. by The Washingfon Post Co.) Norfolk, Va., Feb. 2.—A dread of the Washington social machine was behind the spectacular elopement Saturday of Margo Couzens and Will- jam Jeffries Chewning, Jr. To have announced their engage- ment would have meant a big, formal wedding. Also it would have meant a round of well-meant but grueling parties, and rather than go through that they decidea to elope. The 19-year-old bride, outspoken daughter of an outspoken father, the enormously rich senator from Michi- gan, James Couzens, and the 26-ysat- old bridegroom, a Washington bank clerk descended from a royal governor of Virginia, so told me here wday in a remarkable interview. “Personally,” said the spirited lit- tle bride, her blue eyes flashing, “I think big, weddings are messy, don’t you, darling?” “Terribly messy,” agreed the tall, good-looking bridegroom. Radiant. Honeymgon Couple, Mr. and Mr. Oa NEES lo- cated here in the cello Hotel. They had arrived in the morning after an overnigh ttrip from Baiti- more, where they were married on Saturday. The two were as radiant as the sun that had blessed the first day of their honeymoon.’ On the boat with them had come the bride’s Ford coupe, and in this— a symbol of the industrial gold mine that gave her father his millions— they had been touring the country- — side all morning and afternoon. They had decided to grant an in- terview and ‘get it over with.” “Oh, we have some news for you,” said Mrs. Chewning excitedly. “Father has for- given us and has said he will wel- come us home. Isn't that nice.” She had talked with the senator earlier on the long-distance telephone. In fact, she had talked to him twice. In her rambling, delightful way, Mrs. Chewning told the whole story of her romance, and also revealed the plans she and her husband have for the future, Elopement Decided Upon, She said that she did not think so much of her husband when she first met him, but that he grew on her “terribly,” that they became engaged about two weeks ago, but had not planned to get rried until March; that they decided to elope when they went to the Bal Boheme at the Wil- lard and heard people speculating about their engagement. In the future, Mrs, Chewning said, she is going to give up everything for her husband except her horse. They are going to have a little apartment, she ‘said, and are going to live en- tirely on her husband's salary. He is manager of the new accounts depart- ment of the West End Branch of the Washington Loan & Trust Co., Wash- ington. “And there won’t be any maid, either,” said Mrs, Chewning. “I am going to do all the work myself. Oh, I'll be able to do it all right. Didn't I have four years of domestic gci- ence?” She got this training at the Sacred Heart Academy in Detroit and at the —— - NEWS of SUBURBAN Washington and the Surrounding : States Appears on Pages Continued on Page 7, Column 1, || 5 and 16 Today.

As Mrs. Chewning talked, she occa- sionally waved her hand, and it was seen that this bore, in addition to a. wedding ring, a band set with a huge Purple amethyst. King Once Owned Ring. This is perhaps one of the most famous rings in the United States. It once was worn by King Charles II of England, who gave it to Sir Hefbert Jeffries when the lattér came over to the colonies as the royal governor of Virginia. From one generation to another it was handed down until it became the property of William Jeffries Chewn- ing, a direct descendant of Sir Her- bert. Jeffries. And now that young man has given it to his bride, the Gaughter of one of America's fore- most business barons Getting back to the first meeting of young Mr. Chewning and the girl who was to become his bride, it took place abpard a Coast Guard cutter at the President’s Gold Cup races ‘on the Potomac last September. - Miss Couzens, as has been stated Was not much impressed One rea- @on she said yesterday was that the young man has a mustache, and she does not care any more for such adornment than her smooth-shaven father. Evidently, young Mr. Chewn- ning must have divined this, for pretty soon the mustache came Off. Courtship Moves Rapidly. The next time they met was at the Junior League ball in December. This time it was different: Miss Couzens became interested From that time on the romance moved like one of Miss Couzens’ galloping horses. The engagement was sealed one night about two weeks ago. They | had b@en to a movie and then had gone up to the Club Chanticler to dance. There Chewning popped tion, “and got the answer for. There was no thought of an immediate marriage, however, when they went to the Bal Boheme last Monday night. There was, when they left, though. The sotto voce remarks | and the knowlng looks settled them. | Miss Couzens explained why they | decided to elope. “We knew that the ques- | he hoped if we announced our engagement, a formal wedding would be expected,” she:said, “and both of us dreaded that. And that) is not all. There would be Juncheons, | and dinners and dances, and by the | time the wedding date came around both of us would be worn out. It would be just too messy. “@f course, it would be well meant. Please don't think that I am criti- cizing my friends. It is just the custom. Any way, we made up our, minds that we were going to escape from it.” Dispensation Is Obtained. Mr. Chewning ,.made the. arrange- | ments for the marriage with a rela- tive in Baltimore, John Marshall | Jones, a kinsman of John Marshall. | the famous Chief Justice. The most | important task that confronted. Mr. Jones was to have Archbishop Michael | J. Curley grant a dispensation for the marriage. This was necessary because Mr. Chewning is an_ Episcopalian while Miss Couzens is a Catholic. The dispensation granted. the | couple journeyed to the Shrine of the Sacred Heart, in Mount Washing- ton, Just outside of Baltimore, and there were married by Mgr. Louis R. Stickney, the rector. The bride was not surprised when she learned of her father's surprise at the marriage. “Well, you see,” she told the re- porter, ‘father just never thought of me as a bride. I had never been in love and had never thought much | about boys. All I was Supposed to. be interested in was horses. So it is no wonder father was surpried.” «Will Tout Histaric Spots.

AHEAD (Associated Press.) ° | An increase in exports from the | United States to the highest peak isince 1920 was shown in ‘compiete | returns for 1929, issued yesterday by /the Department of Commerce. | Only in the years of 1916 and 1920, | when prices were inflated by. war and | postwar conditions, have exports been higher than the $5,.248,000,000 total reached last year. This was 2.3 per cent more than sales abroad during 1928 and was nearly two and one- half times larger than the average value for the period 1910-1914. It also was 19 per cent greater than ex- ports for the period 1921-1925. Sales of finished manufactures, which gained 12 per,cent in the year,: were responsible for the aggregate gain, exports of cotton, grain and to- bacco having shown a decrease. Practically the entire increase in total exports was confined to the first four months, with May, October, November and December exports de- clining. Shipments of finished man- ufactures were lafger, however, in all except three months—May, Novem- ber and December. Complete statistics for imports showed a total of $4,400,000,000 dur- ing 1929. an increase of 8$309.000,000 over the preceding year and only slightly below the 1926 figure, which was the highest since 1920. Because of the increased value 0% Imports, this country’s balance of trade last year fell below 1928, but amounted to $848,000,000. High interest rates and stock specu- lation in the United States during the first ten months of the year served as a magnet, the department said, to cause an excess of gold imports over exports in 1929 by #%175,000.000, in contrast ‘with a net export of $392,- 000,000 in 1928. During the last two months of the year, however, exports of gold-outstripped imports.

Movie Pickpocket Gets Third Purse $39 Loot in Last of Trio of Thefts in Motion-Pic- ture Theater... For the third consecutive Sunday night a pickpocket has relieved some unsuspecting movie. patron for all that he had in his jeans and has gone his way rejoicing. Last night e went his way with some 839 that he “borrowed” from Frank L. Frear, of the Elks Club. Freer made the mistake of chang- ing his seat in an F street theater for one that looked better. In the chang- ing a young man bumped his arm heavily, and when the new seat was reached Frear made a discovery. He immedately started a search for the man who had jostled him, but with- out result. The same young man is credited with a theft on each of the last two Sunday nights. Both cases occurred in theaters on F street, and in each instance the pickpocket was safely away before his victim became aware of any 10s, Oil Industry Men Leave for Capital Delegation on Tariff Plans Mass Meeting Tonight in Washington.

LARGEST SEAPLANE ‘Huge Ship, Convertible From Peace Uses, Can Be Made _ Formidable Weapon. ee ee + ee COMES HERE THIS WEEK Philadelphia, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—An- nouncement was made today on be- half of the Ford Motor Co. that the largest seaplane in the United States had successfully passed es series of tests at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The plane, a Ford all-metal. trimotor, will be flown to Washington early this week to be demonstrated to officials of the Navy Department. Primarily the ship is a passenger transport plane, it was announced, which can.carry fourteen passengers, baggage, and mail. and can be con- verted into a bomber or torpedo ship, a 20-passenger troop transport or air ambulance. As a torpedo carrier, it has capacity for two torpedoes weighing 1,800 pounds each. As a bomber, with landing wheels substituted for floats, it has a useful load. of 6.000 pounds, L.equivalent to a cargo including a pilot, radio operator, bomber, gunner, three machine guns, two 1,100-pound bombs, 800 pounds of smalier demolli- tion bombs and fuel sufficient for five or six hours of flight. The new plane is known as the 5AT trimotored seaplane. It is adapted for water landing and a take-off by the substitution of two metal floats about 22 feet long for the wheels commonly used on the 5AT land plane. It is differeht from flying boats, which have been built to larger dimensions, in that it can be readily converted from water to land use. Tests at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, it was announced, showed that with full load the plane has a high speed of 127 miles an hour, a cruising speed of 103 miles, a stalling speed of 65 miles, and that with full load it can take off in 17 seconds. Mrs. Brousseau Indorsed for Post Should Be Head of Nation- al Pen Women, Asserts Chevy Chase Branch. Mrs. Grace A. Brosseau, of Green- wich, Conn., former president gen- eral. Daughters of the American Revolution, yesterday was wunani- mously indorsed for the national presidency of the National League of American Pen Women by the Chevy Chase branch of the organizatton in a special meeting at the home as Mrs. Richard Yates, wife of Represen- tative Yates, of Illinois. The Chevy Chase branch went on record against a suggested change in the national organization’s by-laws which would allow its national presi- dent to re@ide outside of Washington. The branch pointed out that all na- tional presidents during the 35 years’ existence of the league have been required to reside here. “We believe Mrs. Brosseau, who did sO much to make Constitution Hall a monument to her administration, should be our choice,” the resolution asserted. “While Mrs. Brosseau has not expressed herself, we know that if elected national president.there would be no necessity for changing the by- laws, as she would devote her time and talent to the worn of the league. as she is courageously patriotic and her power, her prestige, her tenacity of purpose, and her will to do, would be potent factors in transforming the National Clubhouse of the league from biueprints into stone and mor- tar.” Theater Is Bombed In Chicago Suburb Wife of Manager Quiets 300 Panic-Stricken Movie Patrons.

WOLVES ATE FLIER, EIELSON, OF, FEAR Aviator’s Father Starts for Siberia as Hunt for Bodies Persists. MEETS ELDER BORLAND Seattle, Wash. Feb. 2 (A.P.).— Although six aviators are bound by order and pledge to remain en the bleak Arctic shore of Siberia until the bodies of Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland are found, apprehension in- creased among pioneers here and. in‘ Alaska today that wolves have left no trace of the two fliers. Ole Eielson, father of Alaska’s fa- mous air pioneer, himself expressed that fear while waiting here to sail on the Northwestern next Wednesday for’ Seward, Alaska. Rescuers have been digging for a week over the wide areas where wreck- age of Ejielson’s plane was strewn when it crashed nearly three months ago 90 miles southeast of North Cape. Clothing worn by the missing men, and parts of the plane were found deeply buried. by snows which have fallen since the two men hopped off from Alaska to take passengers and furs off the ice-bound ship Nanuk at North Cape. Soviet Aviators Remain, Two Russian aviators, Gladisshev and Slepnev, who flew to North Cape from Providence Bay to take mem- bers of the _ scientific expedition aboard the Russian ship Stavropol, locked in ice near the Nanuk, back to civilization, have been ordered by the Soviet government to remain in that region until the missing fliers bodies are found. Pilot Joe Crosson, who discovered the wreck a week apo and who wes connected with Sir Hubert Wilkins’ Polar expeditions in which Eielson became famous, was to pilot the Rus- sians to the spot. The American avia- tors, Harold Gillam and Ed Young. have declared they will stay in Si- beria until they find the bodies. “Our boys are gone, that’s certain.” Ole Ejielson said on meeting W. E. Borland, of Seattle, father of the young mechanic who ‘took off with Eielson. Military Funeral Declined. “It seems the good boys have to go first, sametimes,” said Borland. To the offer of friends to provide a military funeral for his famous son at Arlington Cemetery in Washing- ton, D. C., the elder Eielson said: “There are 50 many famous persons buried at Arlington. Ben knew every- body at home and I’d like to have the boy rest with his mother at the little cemétery in Hatton, N. Dak. I think he'd rather be there, and after all, what is fame?” Eielson will go by boat to Seward, train to Fairbanks, Alaska, and either wait there for his son’s body or.-fly to Siberia, providing he has the op- portunity.

STALLED CIA YIELDS BODY OF GANGSTER Two Men Saunter Slowly Away From Auto Stopped on Busy Street. “JOE THE DUDE,” VICTIM Chicago, Feb. 2 (A.P.) —Joseph Cada rode to moderate fame in an auto- mobile a few years back, as “Motor Joe,” professional dirt track racer; he rode to death early today in another automobile, as “Joe the Dude,” gang- land fashionplate. At thé wheel of his own expensive sedan, accompanied by two men whom he evidently deemed his friends, Cada was shot four times through the head and left to die beneath an elevated railway structure in the heart of the uptown night life dis- trict, where he was a tireless play- boy. His slaying was the fourth laid to gahgdom in four days, in addition to the shooting of Johnny Genaro, an- other hoodlum, whose life is still in danger. Like the others, it left police with a dozen motives but no definite clew. Associate in Beer Syndicate. Cada had been known as an asso0- ciate in the Terry Druggan-Frankie ‘Lake beér syndicate, and authorities were considering the possibility that a feud among the beer and liquor gangs might have been responsible. “The Dude” was dressed charac- teristically when he was slain. He wore black patent leather shoes, pearl gray spats and a pearl gray fedora hat. His expensive overcoat covered an obviously high-priced tailored suit and he wore a costly wrist watch and a ring with three diamonds. He was known as a reckless spender, even for a hoodlum, night clubs and gambling places. His killing is considered important because, coming ‘on the heels of three others, police fear it may be indica- tive of a new outburst of gang war- fare. , ‘ Death Auto Stalled in Traffic. The large automobile, moving slowly along Broadway in the heart of the uptown district, came to an abrupt stop at the street’s intersec- tion with Leland avenue, jamming early morning traffic. Amid the grinding-of brakes ‘and imprecations of autoists following, two men stepped out of the machine and sauntered slowly away. An irate truck driver, who had narrowly averted collision with the stalled “ machine, accompanied by some curious passersby, approached the car. Pulling back the curtains, body of Cada slumping over the steering wheel. Dramatist Assails Jewish Portrayals Jacob Ben-Ami Asserts Most of Them Are Sen- timental Trash. Protests against the portrayal of Jewish life by stock comedians and by such plays as “Abie’s Irish Rose,” and against the one-play as opposed to the repertory system of producing plays in this country, wére voiced last night by Jacob Ben-Ami, actor- dramatist of the Civic Repertory The- ater of New York, at the Jewish Com- munity Center. Virtually all plays dealing with Jewish life or character, presented in New York, are “sentimental trash,” Mr. Ben-Ami said in making a plea for a world theater of Jewish art. Eugene O'Neill was termed the only worthwhile playwright in the United Stats and that because he has not witten to please theatrical producers. Following his lecture, Mr. Ben-Ami gave dranratic recitals from three plays, one in Yiddish. The plays in English were “The Seagull” and “The Living Corpse.” Bolling Pilots to Fly Army Planes to-Newark Seven Bolling Field pilots will leave here about Wednesday to ferry seven new service type planes to the New Jersey National Guard at Newark, N.

4 } { BROOKF— Suddenly. on Saturday, Febru- ’ s Se nee, eee ene omer Oe na a rte ee =e WMANIMOUS VERDICT ABOLITION 1S. URGED New York Crime Board Has Plan to Enable Ten Jurors to Decide. DEATH TRIALS EXCEPTED Albany, N. Y., Feb. 2 (N.Y.W.N.S). The State Crime Commission today recommended in a statement that all exemptions from jury service be abol- ished and that the verdict of ten jurors be made the verdict of the en- tire jury ip all civil cases and in all criminal cases except when the crime charged may be punishable by death, Bills .and a reeclution for this purf- pose will be introduced into the Legis- lature tomorrow njght by Senator Caleb R. Baumes and Assemblyman Bert Esmond. The case for substituting the de- ¢ision of ten jurors for a unanimous verdict was outlined by the crime commission as follows: “This proposed change would pre- vent a mistrial because of the death or serious illness of a juror and also would prevent one or two jurors from holding out. because of prejudice or other personal reasons and thereby causing a disagreement. “The historical background of the unanimous verdict has faded under our present system of majority rule. @s shown by procedure in boards of directors, election rules and decisions of appellate courts where only a ma- jority vote is necessary for a decision. Originally, when the rule of unani- mqgus verdict was essential the jury- Mmygn were selected because of their kpfhowledge of the facts and circum- Sfances of the case. Under the present system they are} lected only when they have no ‘knowledge and have formed no opin- ion. They are then expected to agree on a set of facts presented to them, and no flexibility is allowed to pre- vent a stubborn juror from _ holding out and thereby causing a disagree- ment. In many instances cases have been delayed and a miscarriage of justice resulted from this provision requiring a unanimous verdict,” A complete revision and consolida- tion of the statutes on juries and jury commissioners is provided by the bills to be introduced. The revision will leave some leeway for individual eounties.to draw up ‘special rules. Under the present system of select- ing and drawing jurors, the. commis- gion finds, “the burden is falling on a comparatively small number and such demand is becoming not only a /4ers and prereyTeace provided,” hardship but is créating a condition in our trial courts that is not whole- some.” Lindbergh Makes Plane Into Convertible Coupe Los Aggeles, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—Col.

Lindbergh said the transparert sliding hatches increased the maxi- mum speed of the plane from 171 miles per hour to 180. After he made the first test of the new plane with Mrs. Lindbergh, the famous flier said he planned to cover the cockpits of the plane.

Thus uipped with the secret of a ‘agility and efficiency, Dr. William Tindall cruised northward, finally’ locating in the District of Columbia, whose present form of government he antedates. He has been here ever since, distinguished for a knowledge of local affairs that is as accurate as it is extensive. He is now chief of the Bureau of Information of the District govern- ment, , Theoretically, his business is to ansgwer any and all. questions which citizens posstssed of vaulting imaginations or abysmal ignorance may want to ask about men, women, incidents, scandals and ‘rumors which now figure, or have figured, in the community's welfafe, wealth and wis- dom. . * * oa UT as a matter of fact, the doc- tor is a bottomless well of in- formation to which countless officials of the District have eagerly resorted Whenever they had to find out something they should have known anyway or something else that was buried In the dry, dreary and dusty tomes of the Pliocene Era. Take Dr. Tindall away from his desk, and down upon our’ municipal building—or what is left of it after being more or less bombarded daily by Congress—would descend a pail of ignorance while wretched officials Brickbats & Bouquets By JAMES HAY, JR. would go galumphing helplessly from corridor to corridor, vainly and vo- ciferously seeking the why of this and the when of that. cm - . . ONSEQUENTLY it has been sug- ( gested that Congress should at- tach an amendment to pending District legislation stipulating that this animated fountain of youth and facts shall continue on active duty en of the provisions of the tirement act: And what else can Congress do? Picture, ye writers of resolutions and makers of laws, the confusion worse confounded that would darken and bedevil us if all the lore, legend and learning now reposing in the person of Dr. Tindall were cast into -the obscurity of private life! Ponder, we molders—of the destiny of a voteless vicinage, our desperate plight if,none of the city fathers could leap into an elevator or jump to a telephone and, having éstab- lished contact with the boy who out- ran Ponce de Leon, breathlessly wal quire: “When was the Tidal Basin a duck pond? And what society belle firsc made Pennsylvania avenue the center of-swelidom?” . I leaving us to our ignorance, we shall be, figuratively speaking, what a British statesman once said a reform faction in Parliament was: A sort of mule, without pride of ancestry or hope of progeny. Besides, what’s the good of out- running a sprinter like Ponce de Leon if somebody’s going to treat you as if you were an ordinary human being?

Robinson, of Swarthmore College. an authority on penal administration. Ready for 3-Story Drop, Man Saved by Firemen Chicago, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—A man hanging from a third-story window ledge was rescued by firemen when flames partially destroyed a North Side apartment hote] and forced more than 100. thinly clad residents into the snow-covefed streets early today. Peter Johnson, 40, trapped in his room by the fire, had clambered out a window and hung suspended from the sill until the flames began licking his fingers. He was ready to make the three-story drop when firemen arrived and effected his rescue with a suspen- sion ladder. Fireman George Carlson suffered a dislocated shoulder when he fell through the roof of the burn- ing structure. A EERE ROT RN NE DIED.

James Walter Lowrie, Missionary, Is Dead Shanghai, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—Word was received here today of the death at Paotingfu of James Walter Lowrie, a missionary, who at one timie repre- sented the American Presbyterian mission board before the King of Siam. Death was caused by influ- enza. Mr. Lowrie was highly respected by the Chinese because it was through his mediation tha* Paotingfu was let off lightly for the city’s share in the Boxer outbreak.

A small guard of police- men and detectives, which had been stationed Saturday in the nearby streets, was withdrawn. The Mexican foreign office had been advised yesterday that the Commun- ists, accusing the United States of having caused the break in diplomatic relations betw Mexico and Soviet Russia, would demonstrate in front of the American embassies and legations throughout Latin America.

My last visit was at the Sec- ond Precinct about two Saturday nights ago. I wish I had more time than. I have to drive with these po- lice and see the wheels fo prohibition go round.” The representative declared ‘that his widespread activities with the police have strengthened his belief in his assertion on the House foor on December 10 that “Washington is much freerer from crime than many cities in the country,” although the prohibition situation generally is far from what it should be. On January 9, Representative Schafer on the floor of the House de- livered another speech to assai] tne drys applauding - what the wets ings.” At that time he asserted that “each day's tragic news indicates more hu- man lives sacrificed on the altar of prohibition Baal.” He said he had not set any date for his next onslaught on prohibi- tion, but that the information he was collectiimg here and the data being gent him from various other centers was now being studied for incorporation in the slated address. Thieves Steal Valuable Papers. Valuable papers, including bonds and bank books, were stolen early yesterday morning from an office on the first floor of 2001 Eleventh street northwest, according to police.

WARRANT BUBBLE BURST Chicago, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—With the city’s financial condition growing worse daily and.with other relief plans crumbling one by one, the city council today began to look more fa- vorably on the citizens’ committee offer to tide the local governments over until taxes start coming in. Alderman John S. Clark, chairman of the city council finance commit- tee, announced fits intention of ask- ing that body to name a committee Tuesday to meet with Silas Strawn, head of the relief organization. Alderman Clark, who has become leader of the working majority in the council's wrangles over financial | more, regardiess of net income. atters, predicted that the commit- | he proposed would make every | effort to effect an agreement. Wil Supervise Spending. “As for their (the citizens’ com- mittee’s) request that the expendi- ture of money be carefully supervised, I think that is only fair and right, since, after all, it is their money that will be spent,” Clark said. It was this point of supervision that caused the city council, as well as the board of education, to shy at the proposal when it was first made more than a week ago. At that time many public officials expressed the fear that acceptance of would bring about a dictatorship. Since then, however, many disap- pointing factors have entered the tangle. A conference of taxing of- ficials called by Gov. found that tax bills could not mailed before June 1 _and be diction may have been too optimistic.

Hopes that the 40,000 city and county employes, most of them un- paid since January 1, and some even longer, could receive their salaries in tax-anticipation warrants were buoy- ed up yesterday with ruling by the city’s corporation counsel that such & procedure would be legal. This bubble was immediately punc- | tured by the Chicago and Cook Coun- | ty Bankers Association's notice to its | 180 member banks advising against cashing such warrants or accepting them as collateral. Directors of the bankers association said paying coun- ty and city employes in fiat money | conditions | would only make local more complex. Officer of Closed Bank ' Suicide at Police Door Fort Worth, Tex., Feb. 2 L. B. Ward, assistant cashier of the Texas National Bank of Fort Worth, which closed its doors Friday upon recommendations of the Fort Worth Clearing House Association, shot and killed himself this afternoon. Ward, who had been walking, stepped inside the open doors of the police department garage, across the street from the central police station in the City Hall, placed a pistol to his temple, and fired one shot. The bulil- let went through his head. He left a note in which he ascribed loss of health and loss of his position as reasons for the act. Portugal Is Ravaged By Additional Storms Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 2 (A.P.).— Torrential rains, snowfalls and floods today ravaged Portugal, intensifying the calamities which the country has suffered from storms during the last month.

A A A TSA LS ee en we YOUR INCOME TAX NO. 1, By joint resolution, adopted upon recommendation of the President and Secretary of the Treasury. Congress has reduced by 1 per cent the normal tax on Individual incomes for the cal- endar year 1929. The reduced rates are one-half of 1 per cent on the first | $4,000 of net income above the per- sonal exemption and other credits, 2 per cent on the next $4,000 and 4 per cent on the remainder, instead of 11, per cent, 3 per cent and 5 per cent. The surtax rates on income in excess . of $10,000 are unchanged. The tax rate on the income of corporations and life instirance companies is re- duced from 12 per cent to 11 per cent. No change is made in the provision relating to the filing of returns. Re- turms are required of every single per- son whose net income for the taxable year was $1,500 or more, every mar- : ried person living with husband or | wife whose net income was 83.500 or more, and every person single or mar- } | freely ried whose gross income was $5,000 or | Hus- | band and wife living together may | each make a seperate return, of the income of each, or their income may be included in a single joint return, in which case the tax is computed on the aggregate net income. Under the heading of single indi- viduals are included divorcees and persons separated by mutual consent A single person who is the head of a family and whose net income for 1929 was $1,500 or more must file a return, even though, by reason of the per- sonal exemption and credit for de- pendents, his income is not taxable. More than 4.000.000 individual in- come-tax returns were filed last year. Many contained errors which knowl- edge of the fundamental provisions the plan’| of the revenue act would have avoid- ed.

anette STAMP TAX FAVORED AS VIRGINIA REVENUE State Senator Would Place Levy on Malt and Some Medicines. TO AID STATE SCHOOLS Special to The Washington Post. Richmond, Va., Feb. 2—A stamp tax on malt extracts, “used mainly for making homebrew,” on “canned heat” and on medicines containing more than 4 per cent of alcohol by volume, will be introduced in the Virginia Senate tomorrow by Senator John W. Chalkley, of Bigstone Gap, who hopes through the revenue that would be so raised to be able to finance the free textbook bill, estab- lish vocational training schools and provide aid for tubercular cases. In Tennessee a similar tax on malt extracts alone brings in more than $1,000,000 a year, he said he had been reliably ye and that while he was against t idea of nuisance tax on general principle, he believed the sale of bitters, tonics and other things that are “used or capable of being used for -beverage purposes” was real nuisance and should be regulated. from the collections of such taxes would be divided, under the bill as follows: One-fifth tq the Department of Public Welfare and one-fifth to the Department of Public Health and three-fifths to the Department of Public Instruction, The funds thus given to the departments would be d as directed specifically by the neral Assembly, and in view of nding legislation which he is upporting, ‘he suggests that it ight be used to finance the free xtbooks bill, which. will require ‘some $300,000 to furnish the appro- priation necessary for the Department of Public Instruction to establish yocational training schools, and to enable the Department of Public Health to assist the cities on a 50-50 basis in caring for advanced cases of tuberculosis. ' The State treasurer would be di- rected to’ collect the tax through the gale of stamps, and the bill would further provide that a rebate might be had on bona fide medicines pro- cured for hospital use or on prescrip- tions. The rate of taxation would be 5 cents a pound on the malt extracts, which he said are used chiefly for the purpose of making beer at home, and 1 cent an ounce on canned heat which is used in portable stoves, and in many instances in lieu of some- thing better. in the way of intoxi- cants, and on proprietary and patent ~ medicines, tonics, bitters and all bathing and rubbing spirits and lo- tions containing more than 4 per cent of alcohol by volume which are used or capable of being used for bev- erage purposes, Although Senator Chalkley said he had not talked with the prohibition enforcement division, he said he understood that such a measure would be entirely acceptable there. “Disclosure of the quantities and the places where sold,” Senator Chalkley said, “will be a real aid to the prohi- bition department.” His idea, Senator Chalkley said, is not one of prohibition, but of the curbing of the sale of these materials, which, he says, every one knows are used in the main as a substitute for AUTO MAKERS SEEK HOOVER AID, CLAIM Continued from Page 1. porting prohibitive tariffs at home and low tariffs abroad.” Senator Walsh pointed out that Senator Edge’s selection for the Paris assign- ment was announced months before he formally resigned frem the Senate. . “His reluctance to quit the Senate,” } he said, “was understood at the time to imply the will of the administra- tion that he continue his member- ship on the finance committee until the Hawley-Smoot bill had been re- ported to the Senate. The bill now before the Senate received the bless- ing of Senator Edge before he for- mally accepted his commission as am- bassador.” Cites Effect of French Move. As for Senator Sackett, Senator Walsh said, he was not selected for ambassadorial service “until after the tariff bill, with its numerous and prohibitive duties, had been report- ed out by Chairman Smoot.” The effect of the proposed French tariff on auto parts, the Montanan said, would be even more harmful than any retaliation on automobiles, “because many French cars are said to contain 50 per cent American parts.” In the present American tariff law, which levies a 25 per cent ad va- lorem tariff on foreign automobiles, there is a countervadling clause per- mitting the United States to raise its duties on cars to whatever limit may be imposed on American ma- chines by other countries. This pro- / vision was eliminated by the Senate } recently and the duty reduced to 10 per cent. The tariff bill will go into its fifty- seventh week before Congress to- morrow, with a fight in prospect in the Senate over the existipg practice of basing dyestuffs rates on American valuation.

In a nation of 150,000,000 people this group in power con- | stitutes about 1 per cent. Soviet Russia is engaged in a gigantic en- terprise for the destruction of capitalism. | For the last year a process of consolidating property of the peasants into huge state farms or collective projects under the domi- nation of Moscow has been under way. The peasants who have enjoyed a few years of freedom since the revolution of 1917 are ‘being again pressed into peonage with the Communist dictators as their landlord. This program meets resistance everywhere, but since the dissenting peasant is faced by prison, deportation or the firing squad he ; usually submits in the end. The kulaks, or | richer peasants, have been completely de- | classed, their land confiscated, and all par- ticipation in the civic life of their country denied them. If they escape prison or execu- | tion they have the alternative of starvation or exile. Industry in Russia is undergoing the same | process of socialization, with the results that | might be expected. A recent survey showed that from 2¢@ to 50 per cent of the goods pro- duced in several dozen Communist factories were defective. Operators of the plants were | in this way trying to cut down overhead ex- penses and gain for themselves some of the profits of private industry. But their hopes have been cut short by a new order prescrib- ing five years of hard prison labor for any producing inferior goods. Relizion has been entirely ruled out of the ' Seviet system.

An abundance of ‘evidence in support of the five-day week in industry is assembled in a memorandum just published by the indus- trial relations section of Princeton Univer- sity. The movement seems to have gained favor with both employes and employers. While adjustments to the five-day schedule are being made gradually, progress toward this end throughout the country is unmistak- able. [t is estimated that more than 500,000 employes now work only five days per week. This is only 2.5 per cent of the persons em- ployed in the major industrial groups, but the gradual replacement of men by machines paign for the five-day week began only three years ago. During that time it has proved sound in many of the largest indus- trial plants of the country, The movement may now be regarded as passing beyond the experimental stage. When some of the country’s outstanding industrialists advanced the theory that an increase in wages to their employes should be accompanied by greater leisure in which to spend the extra money, many thought they were carrying modern economic theory to an absurdity. But now it is known that been prosperous. Employers realize that when an =mplove has extra leisure he becomes a larger -onsumer, and for this reason opposition by employers to the five-day week is ground. Experience that the hours of working men have been shortened efficiency has increased and production has expanded. Use of machinery generally considered the reason why American workers produce several times as much per man as those of any other country, but the amount of leisure enjoyed by American workmen Is also an important factor. If men can pro- duce more in five days of eight hours each than they formerly could in six days of twelve hours each, there is every reason why the shorter working period should be in- augurated. No doubt it will be only a few years until the five-day week is a standard work period throughout the country. shows every time is Income of the Nation in 1929 is put at $95,000,000,000, which, considered nection with the per capita pocketbook, proves what a populous people we are.

Burchard, Abbot of Belvaux in the twelfth century, wrote a little treatise, nent bearded delegates to the naval confer- pearance of a- well-timed act of internationa! courtesy. merely to disclaim an opinion, imputed to him, that the beards of certain lay brothers should be burned, he found the subject so absorbing that he wandered with it down the ages, beginning with Aaron’s beard, the theme in these days of one of our less edify- ing anthems. But much has since happened to beards; astonished to learn that the goatee, for which he gives the excellent term submentanea, is now inseparable from “Uncle Sam,” who would need more explaining at Belvaux than is necessary here. (Let it be said at once that on the present occasion not a single goatee has crossed the Atlantic in the Amer- ican delegation.) The Crimean War brought fashion, but a greater war confirmed and ex- tended the almost universal practice of shaving. beards into . ‘Men for their sins Have shaving, too, entailed upon their chins,” wrote Byron, jealous of the advantage en- joyed by the fair sex in this particular. Long before—on the morning of January 6, 1663-4 —Pepys began a practice which he found saved him money and time, “that is, to trim myself with a razer: -which pleases me mightily.’’ But that was probably not what we should call shaving. Hotspur, in his bit- ing description of the effeminate Boling- broke, says that “his chin, new reap‘d, Show'd like a stubble-land at harvest-home.” It is no wonder, with razors so ineffective, that men grew beards, and that Nick Bottom could volunteer to play Pyramus in your straw color, your orange-tawny, your purple- in-grain, or your French-crown color beard, your perfect yellow.

Private Interests Trying to.Grab Off Part of Yellowstone Park, — To the Editor of The Post—sir: in view of the hearihg by. the President's commission to be held February 3 in the Department of the Interior, may I say a few words with regard to the preservation of Yellowstone National Park. Just now the park is threatened with the loss of two areas. The Forest Service is trying to obtain a section along Snake River. If it wins, log- ging will be carried on and the logs floated down Snake River, and all in what is now park territory, spoiling this part he park. Then hunting is allowed in the national forests and other objectionable features, such as grazing. Nothing of this sort is per- mitted in the national parks. If the Forest Service obtains this section it will give other groups an excuse to make demands. The integrity of the park must be maintained. The recent — changes in the northeast boundary, in which some land was lost and some gained for the park, gave encourage- ment to all groups trying to get some- thing out of the natiorfal parks for themselves to “try, try again.” There is also a very determined ef- fort being made to obtain an area in the southwest part of the parz (known as the Bechler section) for irrigation purposes. The interests represented in this effort are mani- festing a most insistent spirit, Their object is to obtain the Bechler mead- ows for commercial purposes. A reser- voir here would eliminate the en} trance to the Bechler River canyon, as it would back the river up abou two miles into the canyon. It woul kill all the trees, and thére are many pine and spruce in this section. Will- iam C. Gregg, who has spent much time in this region, estimates that there are 40,000,000 feet of standing timber in the Bechler basin, and the proposed reservoir would rob the park of 12 square miles. This region is full of beautiful scenery. Colonnade Falls, one of the finest in America, is in the Bechler region. Then there is beautiful Iris Falls, and unspoiled natural beauty at every turn. It has been said that “no man can measure the destruction to Yellowstone Park, as a popular na- tional playground, which may follow. the first concession to irrigation in- terests.” The national parks should be held inviolate. No interest, no matter how powerful, should feel that it may be able to obtain any pan of them. Previous boundary changes have only saa ata an unwise prec- edent. In considering such chemin we are apt to forget that powerful com- mercial interests, power trusts, or wealthy sporting interests often lle behind the demands made. The na- tional parks belong to the people, and are part of their inheritance; as such they should be preserved for future generations. The only safe way seems to take @ positive stand now against further encroachments. It has become a ques- tional park system, now so splendidly established, or of preserving it. FLORENCE R. RADCLIFFE. Eighteenth Amendment Not in Har- mony With the Constitution—Do- mestic Tranquillity Calls for Re- peal, To the Editor of The Post—Sir: The prohibition hearing before the House judiciary committee would serve a good purpose if it weré strict- ly limited to consideration of what constitutes an amendment germane, structurally relevant, to the Consti- tution. The Constitution was framed “in order to form a more perfect Union,” with provision “for the common de- fense,” as the first consideration; and its framers were keenly alive to the importance of insuring “domestic tranquillity.” In so far as the eighteenth amend- ment is shaped to strengthen the framework of the Union, it is ger- - mane. If the vitality of the Union has been threatened by a decadence of citizenship through strong drink, then the eighteenth amendment was germane as proposed and ratified, and should stand. If the civic soundness of our elec- torate was not seriously endangered, - if the only need for the amendment was simply to make people “good,” © laudable as that is, it was not con- stitutionally germane and its rati- fication was, to say the least, un- wise. When the amendment was first proposed, I was fanatically antago- nistic, but now have ceased to worry. Some day, its merits may be sane- Ay discussed as a question not of morals but of expediency. And then, perhaps—and a big perhaps, at that—‘‘domestic tranquillity” will be restored through its repeal. FEDERALIST. Budget for Children Furnished Free of Charge as Incentive of Thrift.

STUDENTS OF SPAIN REJOICE IN VICTORY Return to Classes Today After Winning Points De- nied by De Rivera. EXILES TO COME BACK Madrid, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—Students in Spanish universities tonight jubi- lantly prepared to return té their classrooms, which will open again on Monday and Tuesday throughout the country. One of the first official acts of the new Berenguer government was to settle the recent student strikes in Madrid, Barcelona and else- where by conceding the students the most important part of their de- mands. These demands, for which they waged a long struggle with the for- mer dictator, Primo de Rivera, in- clude the reinstatement at Salamanca University of Prof. Miguel de Una- muno, one of Spain’s most celebrated i and authors, who has n expatriated in France for five years. Other university professors dismiss- ed during Primo’s rule will also be reinstated, and the government will recognize the students’ federation, releasing all the students arrested during the recent strikes. In addition to this sweeping move- ment of conciliation, Premier Beren- guer’s government also indicated that decrees of general amnesty will soon be issued to political offenders. Par- dons for former Liberal Premier San- chez Guerra and the army officers charged with attempted rebellion at Valencia and Ciudad Real last year may be specifically included. During_hié first week in office, Pre- mier Berenguer revoked the decrees of the preceding government that pre- vented specific organizations, such as ‘the Lawyers Association and the group ‘ of intellectuals of the “Lyceium,” from )/ becoming legal. Premier Berenguer has ordered a policy of economy for all government departments and will study all com- mittees, commissions and extralegal bodies created by his predecessor with the purpose of abolishing all con- sidered unconstitutional. _ The new government hag begun making gold shipments to London to establish credits for the stabilization of the peseta exchange, and appar- ently intends to continue this finan- cial policy. Hendaye, France, Feb. 2 (A.P.).— Miguel de Unamuno, Spanish author, who has made his home in exile here for nearly five years, is hopeful of re- turning to Spain under amnesty de- crees from the new Berenguer gov- ernment, but has not yet been defi- nitely informed of permission to do so. Meanwhile he will continue to live in Hendaye, which is separated from Spanish territory only by a shallow creek. j Former Wife Gives Up Reunion With Soda King San Francisco, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—Mrs. Agnes Amelia Church, divorced wife of Francois Louls Church, admitted here today that she had given up hope of a reunion with her former husband, member of a wealthy baking soda family. She said she would take & $150,000 settlement made her and tour the world. She added that she still loved Mr. , Church and had written several let- ’ ters to him, but had received no an- }gwer. She said she believed the let- ters had never been allowed to reach him. Mrs. Church, who was divorced in Reno last month, has made reser-. vations to sail for the Orient Frid She left last night for Reno fo brief stay. ~e Girl Dies in Futile Try To Save Mother’s Life Hastings, Minn., Feb. 2 (A.P.).— Miss Helen Swanson, 21, a senior at HMamiine University at St. Paul, home for a week-end visit, today gave her y life in a fruitless effort to aid her mother, Mrs. F. A. Swanson. Borh the daughter and her mother died in hospital from burns received yes- erday. Mrs. Swanson was cleaning clothes with gasoline on a porch at her home here late yesterday. The fumes cause her to faint and she fell over the pan containing the gasoline, saturating ‘ her clothes. Helen found her mother and carried her into the house. As they passed the kitchen stove, the heat set fire to Mrs. Swanson’s clothes. Both were severely burned. Governor Asks Inquiry Into Georgia Lynching Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2 (A.P.).—Gov. Hardman announced today that he ‘had telegraphed Sheriff W. C. Tyler and Solicitor General Robert S. Foy, of Irwin County, to investigate the lynching yesterday of Jimmy Levine, Negro, in Ocilla. Until he receives their reports, Gov. Hardman said, the State will take no action in the lynching.

O better illustration of the dec- laration that’ the tariff is a local issue could be found than cement, the cause of which is being championed. by Senator Royal Cope- jland, of New York. To begin with, the whole question of a tariff on cement is of only academie interest except in a very narrow atrip of ter- ritory along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts, save where there is deep- water navigation extending inland. Freight rates mount 80 speedily on a product which costs only about 82 a barrel that a few hundred miles con- stitutes a prohibitive duty. Down in Savannah, Ga. to Illus- trate this local issue idea, there is no interest whatever in whether there is @ tariff on cement or not. But in Norfolk. Va.. which one might sup- pose would have comparatively the same interests, there is the keénest desire for such a duty. oe AVANNAH did not bother to wait S for the Senate talkfest to con- : clude, She did not even wait for it to begin. Her city council sim- ply passed an ordinance forbidding the use of imported cement on pub- lic work, “Have you a local cement plant which you are anxious to keep run- ning?” I asked a Savannah editor. “Oh, no; the nearest cement plant is some 300 miles up-State,” he re- plied. “Are the cement people so strong here, so far from their plants, that they can put a‘thing like that over?” I pursued. “No, but the raliroad company is pretty strong, and it wanted that freight havl on the cement,” was the illuminating reply. “Is there no resentment about it?” “Not a bit. Most of our folks like the idea of encouraging Georgia bus- iness. Then our local railroad men get more work, local railroad stock- holders are pleased, and there is a sort of general idea of passing pros- perity around. So why contribute to the Belgians?” * . * . HERE is no such feeling in Nor- folk, on the contrary. Norfolk has a cement mill, the natural market for which would be nearby, By CARTER FIELD It Politics Virginia and eastern North Carolina. But scarcely had the mill been started when the City of Richmond began purchasing imported cement. Nor- folk felt very hurt about this, regard- ing it as an unneighborly act, but when the State of North Carolina be- gan buying Belgian cement, and kept it up until her road commission alone had bought something like 185,000 barrels, the situation became serious. Norfolk began clamoting for a: tariff. Incidentally, Norfolk elected a Re- publican member of the House on the Hoover landslide, and he won his spurs by fighting for a tariff on peanuts. Norfolk was particularly outraged at North Carolina because the Nor- folk plant had been packing Its cement in cotton sacks, from cotton: grown in North Carolina, whereas the Belgian cement came in jute sacks. . ° 7 * ORTH CAROLINA officials have taken cognizance of this, and promise that if they buy any more imported cement they will iAsist that it be put up in cotton sacks. Incideftally, they are still in litiga- tion over refunds on these jute sacks, involving about $10,000, just half of what they saved the State by buying imported cement. Tarheel officials say they bought imported cement because the domes- tic producers are all in a price-fixing combine—that all the domestic bids would be the same. So they decided to force a little competition. The cement people say that cement is simply cement, as determined by specifications, and that consequently the figuring on bids is very close, every manufacturer Knowing that a fraction of a cent a barrel will de- termine the award. s es S time when every shoulder should be to the wheel to reduce un- employment and speed up prosperity, foreign manwtifacturers should not be permitted to seize the market along the coast, nor, as an alternative, should domestéc manufacturers be forced to sell below cost in that area.

BIG DAY IS WEDNESDAY Mexico City, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—The official ceremonies for inaugural week began at 11 a. m, today when & pageant depicting Mexican history and a program of sports were staged at Valbuerfa Workers’ Field.

Mexico City’s principal hotels re- sembled the hotels in college towns during home-coming week. The lob- bies were crowded with American vis- itors and late arrivais had difficul- ties in finding rooms. So great was the crush in the hotels, taxed far beyond their capacity with the regu- lar tourist season and the inaugural crowds, that many residents opened their homes to house the visitors. The National Railways announced to- day that several Pullman cars would be parked at Colonia and Buena Vista stations to care for the over- flow.

The Senate judiciary the nominations of Federal law en- forcement officers. A subcommittee headed by Senator Borah, of Idaho, will give further attention today to the nomination of Sawyer Smith, district attorney for eastern Ken- tucky. He testified to a zealous rec- ord for law enforcement, and his con- firmation is believed in prospect al- though new reports on him are be- ing given study. Senator Borah also heads a subcom- mittee which will examine Jacob Walter this week on his renomina- tion to be marshal for Connecticut. Walter voted against ratification of the eighteenth amendment as a mem- ber of the Connecticut Legislature. However, Borah says he does not con- sider this as barring him.

Opponents of prohibition have no program, have offered no remedy; they express maudlin sympathy with cri als against the United States Govern- ment. “The wet campaign, without facts, science or sense, no doubt has one effect—to spread py for the complete disregard of law in spite of President Hoover's appeal: but as if in answer to these anarchistic suc¢- gestions seal is greater ay? > a in the prohibit ion.movernent | than ever before.” ey Official Ceremonies Opened | Included in the day's program for | make safer certain areas for boot-. i | } | } } i i MONDAY.

YORKTOWN FESTIVAL PLANS ARE OUTLINED Congress Given Program for Celebration of End of Revolutionary War. | HOOVER WOULD ATTEND (Associated Press.) The United States Yorktown Ses- quicentennial Commission has laid before Congress its recommendations for a celebration of the 150th anni- versary of the surrender of Lord Corn- wallis, October 19, 1781, at York- town, Va., when the colonies gained freedom from Great Britain. The celebration would be October 19, 1931. The program proposed the attend- ance of President Hoover, his Cabi- net, former Presidents, members of the Supreme Court and members of the House and Senate, along with dignitaries from other countries. “The President has signified his intention to attend, and it is be- lieved,” the report said, “that he will make an address on that occasion.” The commission added: “Yorktown is the birthplace of the Nation, and the 150th anniversary of the surren- der should be celebrated in a manner befitting the importance of the event and the greatness of this country.” It submitted legislation calling for a contribution of $200,000 by the Federal Government for the celebra- tion, proposing the issuance of post- age stamps depicting the surrender of the British and the coinage of | 500,000 50-cent pieces to be sold at par to aid in financing the sesqui- centennial and memorial projects. The stamps would bear the portraits of Washington, Lafayette, Baron von Steuben and the French c manders, Count De Rochambeau and Admiral De Grasse. A monument commemorating the | aid given by France also was pro- | posed. The President would be authorized | to invite foreign governments to par- | ticipate and to call the attention of | the country to the event in a procla- | i | mation.

1929 Report of U. S. Steel Corporation. Shows $21 Share Earnings. COMMODITY PRICES OFF) New York, Feb. 2 (A.P.).—Beginning of the second month of the year dis- closes widespread irregularities in the business situation, but the generai trend is toward improvement. A further upturn in industriab activity .last week,. particularly in the steel and automotive industries, was off- set by a sharp decline in agricultural | Values, notably wheat and cotton. Operations in the steel industry have increased from the low lével to 50 per cent of capacity during the holiday season to more than 75 per cent of capacity at the end of Janu- ary, but the gain has failed to check ‘Whe declining price tendency, the / composite price for finished steel sag- sing to the lowest ,levels since No- vember, 1927. The United States Steel Corporation, the country’s larg- est producer, showed unexpectedly fa- Vorable earnings of more than $21 a snare last year in its quarterly report published last week. Freight car traffic, regarded by /Many as barometor of general busi- ness conditions, continues disappoint- ing. Weekly car loadings in January have been the lowest of that month for the past five years. This may be due in part to the growing competi- tidn of motor truck traffic and to un- ually severe winter weather in cer- in sections of the country. / Building Activity Declines. / Building activity also is running be- low the levels of the corresponding Period last year, despite the an- nouncement of enlarged construction Programs made at President Hoover's conferences with business men two months ago. Better weather and the expected easing of money rates is ex- pected, however, to give the needed stimulus to the building industry. The sharp break in commodity prices has again raised the question of a possible decrease in farm pur- chasing powe’ this year, Cotton broke about 86 a bale to the lowest levels | recorded since the large 1926-27 crop, all futures dropping below 17 cents a |pound, with the March option close to the 16-cent level. Wheat dropped about 10 cents a bushel below the low prices of January, 1929, but made par- tial recovery. Tite estimated supply of cotton in the United States on January 1, 1930, was 10,467,000 bales, an increase of 972,000 bales above the -orresponding date a year ago. Wheat exported in December, 1929, totaled 7,067,000 bushels, a decline of 5,271,000 bélow the same month the year hbe- fore. Copper Buying Improves. Copper buying shows some improve- ment, mainly for small lots. Large consumers continue to pursue a “hand-to-mouth” buying policy, with producers ,showing no inclination to shade the 18-cents-a-pound level at which the price of the red metal has been virtually pegged for several months. A further curtailment~ in production brings the rate of opera- tions to about 50 per cent of the peak activity of 1929. Automobile production. shows further expansion, two of the largest producers announcing a sharp in- crease in February production sched- ules. Smaller manufacturers continue to pursue a cautious policy, waiting ‘more definite indications of the pring demand for cars. / Bank cléarings in the leading cities again last week dropped sharply be- ‘low the corresponding period a year -ago.° New York showed the largest decrease, due largely to sharp a. tion in speculative activifies in the - gecurities markets.

Established 1881. , ‘THE WASHINGTON POST: MONDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1930. y CHARLES W. STORM. Continental Ol! and Refining. Capt. W. E. D.—Will‘you please in- form me as to whether or not Con- tinental Oj! and Refining’ Co. stock has any value at this time? Answer—-No present record of a company bearing that title and no market for the stock can be found, not even among securities dealt in over-the-counter. Automotive Royalties Corporation. W. J. C.—Please give me informa- tion relative to the Automotive Roya.- tles Corporation, located at 305 Egst Porty-sixth street, New York. I have an opportunity to purchase some stock at 65. What dividends does it pay? Also advise me concerning Southern City Public Service.Co. 6 per cent convertible debenture bonds, due 1949? Answer—there is no available in- formation concerning the Automotive Royalties Corporation as to earnings, dividends, &cC.; moreovcr, the stock {is not listed on any of the exchanges and can not ‘even be found listed among the securities deait in over- the-counter. Would advise you to look twice before you leap. Southern City Public Service 6 per cent deben- tures are regarded as “fair” in the speculative - investment group of bonds. Concerning Three Stocks. FP. E. H—Kindly give me your opinion of Armour of Illinois A and B stocks; Bulova Watch and Aviation Corporation of Delaware. Answer—Profits of Armour of Ili- nois for the 1929 fiscal year are be- lieved to have been below those for the preceding period. Nothing is paid on the A or B stocks, and the future appears somewhat clouded by the relinquishment of certain lines under the consent decree. Armour is speculative. Preliminary estimates of earnings for Bulova Watch are 85.22 per share for 1929, and 97 a share is looked for in 1930. Sales in the first six months last year gained 50 per cent over those for the same term of 1928. Earnings of $5.22 for 1929, compare with $3.73 for 1928, and this earn- ings growth appears likely to con- tinue. With the common stock pay- See | FIRST | SAFE ing $3 per annum, the stock may be regarded as an investment issue with good prospects. Aviation Corporation of Delaware has been affected by the general seli- ing of such stocks, and accounts for ite present low market price. No dividends are being paid, and the outlook at present would not indi- cate any for some time. For the Sep- tember quarter, the company oper- ated at a loss of $336,000. The stock is highly speculative. Continental Baking Co, Mrs. F. L. H., D. C-——Will you kind- ly tell me what you think of Conti- nental Baking preferred as an in- vestment stock? I am looking for investment stocks and would appre- ciate your suggestions, I am not in- terested tn anything speculative. Answer—cConsidering that dividends of $8 annually have been paid on Continental Baking preferred over a series of years, and that there is every reason to believe that the rate will be maintained indefinitely, és- pecially as earnings of the company are now on an ascending scale, the issue is very well regarded from an investment viewpoint. Other pre- ferred stocks that possess considerable attraction at. existing levels include American Locomotive, American Steel Foundry, Baldwin Locomotive, Beth- lehem Steel and Corn Products Re- fining, all of which are at present on a 7 per cent dividend paying basis. and give a good return on the invest- ment at prevailing prices, Two Aviation Stocks, Miss D. F.—I am interested in air stocks. Please give me your opinion on Aviation Corporation of Delaware and United Aircraft Corporation, Answer—The aviation industry is one of America’s youngest lines of business. Both Aviation Corporation and United Aircraft stocks are specu- lations, as neither pay a dividend yet. Of the two, United has a much better outlook because of its stronger backing, and it may be some time before this stock yields a return to shareholders. For the long-term, United may be held. ———— MORTGAGES | our A Third of a 61% Century Without a Loss B.

It has been many a day since a group of people has had the rare privilege of.standing before ap artist really inspired with the love of his work, fully cognizant of the obstacles that stand in the way. of real artistic achievement; and s0 those who were privileged to heat this young Jew, born in Russia, took away with them memories that will last a lifetime. He read several interesting episodes from worthy plays—in English and Yid- dish. It is the belief of Mr. Ben-Ami that the theater—the theater as an insti- tution—will never die. So long as there are great creative artists to work for it, in all capacities, there will be people: to appreciate the éf- forts. This, of course, is merely the surface of his searching analysis. The talking-movies he sees taking the place of the modern theater, as such. claiming the talkies can do these things as well as the theater that has brought about the type system of acting; for what matters it if some of the cheaply sentimental trash finds no other outlet in the halls of entertainment but on the screen? It matters not. Only one great dramatist exists in the American theater of todgy, in the estimation of Jacob Ben-Ami—and this is Eugene O’Neill; ©’Neill, who never wrote for the theater, whose plays were first put on by amateurs in Provincetown, who held true to’ his art and who eventually had the pleasure of seeing Broadway managers clamor for. his wares. Incidentally, one of his most talked of plays, “Strange Interlude,” comes to grace the stage of the National Theater today. At 5:30 this afternoon the cur- tain goes up on that drama, the one play that has broken all the con- ventions of the commercial theater and has lived to tell the tale. Music reigns supreme on the stage at Poli’s, where the farewell to@r of “Blossom Time,” the perennial, gets under way tonight. It was some nine years ago that the musical play made from the fabric that is the life of IN THE PLAYHOUSE J. DALY the theater. Since that: time, Wash- ington has seen and heard “Blossom Time” year after year.with no abate- ment in patronage. It is said that this will be the last performance of the play in Poli’s, and there is truth in the assertion; for, should “Blossom Time” come back again next year, or the year after that, there will be no Poli’s. The old theater is about to go the way of the world; to be totn down in July to make way. along with cther buildings on the Avenue, for a grand park. \ TRAVELTALKS One of the ‘most interesting travel talks, covering a far-flung trail, from the Pahama Canal, through the countries on the west coast of South: America, around the east coast and up to the Amazon River, Brazil, was delivered at the National Theater yesterday by E. M. Newman. Beginning with wonderful camers shots of the scenic beauties of the Canal Zone, Mr. Newman took his imaginary «travelers into the coun- tries of Equador and Peru, showing not only the exteriors of govern- mental buildings but the interiors of the homes of the natives. Cities and hamlets eighteen and twenty thousand feet above sea evel, nestled in mountains whose scenic beauty compares favorably with that of Switzerland, Norway or Alaska, were depicted in the accompanying, moving picture Mr Newman, inter- spersed his talk with historical ac- counts of the conquests of the Span- lards, and the downfall of the Incas, whose civilization he compared with that of ancient Europe. Perhaps the most unforgetable scene among the many shown cn the “screen was the world’s largest waterfall on the boundary of Argen- tine and Brazil. This, a mighty cataract two and one-half niiles ‘ung, over which flows 128,000,000 cubic feet of water per minute, is ag yet unharnessed by man From the waterfall Mr. Newman conducted his imaginary travelers 1,000 miles up the Amazon, the world’s largest river. Boom cities, abandoned since the crash in the rubber marts, animals, fish and in- sects strange to the eyes of the home- staying Northerner—all were shown by Mr. Newman.

Heise and Miller in Star Roles; Field Water-Soaked. ‘Special to The Washington Post. ‘ ALTIMORE, Md. Feb. 2.— For three-quarters of the national amateur cup competition soccer {game between the Locust Point Rang- /ers and the Concord Soccer Club, of / Washington, played at the Maryland Baseball Park today, the visitors were riding high to an apparently certain victory. but within the last 20 minutes of the final period the Rangers turned the tables with a dramatic rally and gained a 3-to-2 victory. Thus they, ¢liminated the final Washington op-° ponent and will battle the represen- tative of the Philadelphia district in - the next game. Defeating the Concord Team on the water-soaked, slush-covered field was a task that called for all the resources at the Rangers’ command. As an ini- tial handicap Lou Cox, regular inside left forward, reported ill, and his ab- sence necessitated a shift in the entire Ranger line-up. His place was taken by Cliff Wasmus, shifted over from the left wing. Baltimore Team Shifted. Andy Borkowski moved up from the ‘half back liné to outside left and Bob Enight replaced Borkowski. Knight's lace at full back in turn was taken y Alfred O¢celzner, who played despite the fact that his knee. injury of two weeks ago has not entirely re- covered. The visitors had two players who would be outstanding on any team of | this district. Henry Heise in goal played a brilliant game, particularly in the first half. The other star was Wilhelm Miller, center half back. He wore a blue jersey, while his mates were attired in white, but this mark of distinction was not needed to fol- low him in the play. He and the goalie stopped more Ranger attacks than any team played this season. They form the backbone of a strong aggregation. so aaaetes Posi tion. Concord = Cc.

EATURED by a pair of big league games tonight, this week's pro- gram of competition for local college quintets is the banner one of the season. Ten games in all are scheduled and eight will be staged for the entertainment of Capital fans. Tonight's contests, which should draw capacity crowds, will bring to- gether. Georgetown and West Vir- ginia at Tech High School and Mary- land’ and Washington and Lee at Ritchie Gymnasium, College Park. Both will commefice at 8 o'clock. A preliminary to the Georgetown-West Virginia clash will be played by G. U. Freshmen and Gonzaga High, start- ing at 7 o’clock. Four other exceptionally attractive games will be staged on local floors during the week. On Thursday night Georgetown will entertain New York University, its warmest sports. rival, at Tech High, and Catholic University will play: host to the crack St. John’s Five, of Annapolis, at Brookland. G. W. and American Meet Saturday. On Saturday night George Wash- ington and American will collide on the latter’s™“court in a strictly local games—the second of a series—while Maryland does battle with North Carotina University at College Park. Gallaudet’s games with Benjamin Franklin Thursday night and Mary- land State Normal Saturday night, American’s joust with Loyola Wed- nesday night, and Maryland’s meet- ing with Western Maryland Thurs- day night complete the week’s card. The visiting teams in tonight's con- tests clashed at Huntington, W. Va., last. Saturday night, West Virginia scoring a surprising 50 to 34 victory. It was Washington and Lee’s first loss this season. Previoiusly the Gener- als had romped through seven games. Glenn Hurt in Battle. The victory was costly, however, to West Virginia, as its captain and star forward, “Little Sleepy” Glenn, sus- tained a broken finger. While he Played through 30 minutes of the game in spite of the injury, it is doubtful if he will be allowed to start against Georgetown. If Glenn is on the bench, Johnny Doyle, soph- omore forward, probably will bear the burden of the Mountaineers’ attack. He scored 19 points against Washing- ton and Lee.

Maryland doubtless will concentrate its defensive efforts on Williams, and if successful in cover- ing him, should make the game very close.

Harrie Quits Earlier Than Average. little earlier than the average, how- | ever, for although he has. played | minor league ball since 1915 and had | a so-called chance with the Tigers in | 1916, his major league career actually | started late in the 1919 season, when the Nationals bought him from the Buffalo Internationals. As he was practically inactive last year, his term To one familiar with Harris’ habits. the reason for his average retirement from active play is easily figured out. It is simply a case of Bucky loving the game to such an extent that he simply would | juries he received from time to time heal. Joined Nats With Broken Finger. Harris joined the Nats with a broken finger but failed to . tell President Clark Griffith, who manager at that time, and then had when it finally was discovered. The gameness he showed when, despite s badly spiked finger just before the Nats won their world’s series in 1924 he refused to quit, will not be for- gotten by fans. On many other oc- ~ grees he has played with a finger splints, a bad foot or an injured knee or leg. It was because Harris did not “baby” himself and give up while trying to lead his Nats to more pen- ler than that of the average. result is that he is now paying. the price for not giving his proper attention when received. In these days of a player - laying off for a week in case a pimple is discovered on his forehead. Harris stands out as one of “he “he-men™ of baseball.

on 12 nn ae Believes Idol Cc apable of Beating Sharkey at Miami. Phil Rugged, C lever | Fighter, Country- men Decide. aan Special to The Washington Post. IAMI,. Fla., Feb. 2.—Phil Scott, who will face Jack Sharkey in the Miam: Stadium on Febru- ary 27 for the right to meet Max Schmeling in a battle for the world's heavyweight championship, is the first Englishman since the days of the great Charley Mitchell to reach such heights in the fistic profession. Ghuffling Phil, who inherited his box- ing science from his dad, who was one of England’s greatest amateur middleweights and heavyweights, is the idol of the British fight fans be- cause he is the first fellow in almost 40 years who has a chance to bring back to England the heavyweight crown. Since the ys of Charley Mitchell, England has produced many heavy- weights; principally Bombardier Billy Wells, Dut none of the crop could stand up against his Ameziican rival. The hardy American boxer proved too much for his clever British opponent. American grit, courage and rushing tactics always has been the master of English cleverness. Scott Called Most Scientific Of Boxers. Scott has a chance to prove other- wise. He is reputed to be the best heavyweight that England has pro- duced in years and the most scientific of all boxers of the present day except Tommy Loughran. In addition. Phil is far more rugged than his frame shows and this combination of rug- gedness plus cleverness should enable him to give a good account of him- self against Sharkey at Miami. Phil Scott was born and raised in the suburbs of London until he was 10 years of age. His father before him was an amateur middleweight and heavyweight boxer and _ good judges of boxing considered him a great boxing prospect if he had turned professional. His father was a stickler for the amateur business. Phil Scott began life in London working in a vegetable store carrying Out orders when he was about 10 years of age. Later on he became a painter's assistant. When he was 16 years of age, he | joined the royal naval marines and served during the war. After his re- lease from the royal navy, he became a member of Scotland Yard and was on the staff for a couple of years and then retired and joined the Enz lush fire brigade. Just about that time Tex O’Rourke, THE WASHIN GTON ee em = eee ee ee ee POST: MONDAY, ‘PHIL SCOTT BEST BRITISH HEAVY SINCE MITCHELL FEBRUARY 3, Re a a ee es ee eR St mn ee en am ee eee gemma ns mm em 1930. a my, | y of America, went to England seeking a British heavyweight champion and held tournaments along those jines. Scott, who was quite a boxer at that time, applied in person to the ‘iotel Cecil to O’Rourke and asked if he could ever become a boxer and if so would like Tex to take him in and have him enter his tournament. O'Rourke donned the gloves with Scott and received a lacing, after which he decided against Scott and brought a man named ‘Isslington to this country. It took just one figint to send him back to England. Frank Moran, who was then the rage of London, saw Scott box an ex- hibtion one night and told Phil he ought to turn pro. Moran predicted a bright future for Scott, and the prediction has come true. HAVANA RESULTS. FIRST RACE—Fiy . ” lones: purse. $1, 900: 4 og Pe ol and (D. 5. 2 to 5; . er RP ER A 10 an in bat .

By MIKE KELLEY (Eastern High School Coach). HE Business High School Gym- nasium, in use throughout the winter by the night school con- ducted there, seems to be quite a training ground for future high school basket ball players, judging from the number of its graduates who have made the grade in high school and who received.their start at the game on Friday nights in that gym. Most of thesé boys began playing When they were hardly able to throw the ball high enough to get it in the basket, but by the time they reached high school*age they were quite proficient on the court, and some of them are now engaging in the hectic struggle we know as the 1930 intéerhigh basket ball series. Take the Chatlen brothers on the Western Team and Newman on the Business Club. The writer saw these boys playing basket ball on Friday nights in the Business Gym some years ago, and if they are half as serious about their game today as they were then, it is small won- der that they have succeeded in making regular positions on high school teams. The so-called “big boys” used to play about one-half the evening and the young kid brothers used the re- mainder of the time. The big boys were Goldblatt, Charley Newman, Laefsky, Chatlen, Debosky and Tash, all either in the grade schools or junior high schools at that time; the youngsters were “Jakie” Lewis, Paul and Mitton Chatlen, Nate New- man, a younger brother of Lewis, and a score of other paperweight basket ball performers. Later on these boys separated and ae played school. against each aifher ‘in lig Goldblatt and @ very important cog in diet om chine.

Boyd Likely to Shift Line-Up in Import- ant Contest. HEN Coach Bert Coggins, of ' the Central High Basket Ball P Team,,is informed that Cen- tral’s opponents will use the zone de- fense he chuckles. It is a sort of muffled chuckle, deep down for fear that. the opposing coach may hear him and switch to the man-for-map | style. In addition to having the best won and lost record among local high | Coggins has | proved that he can instruct his boys | school court coaches, how to beat the zone defense. Cen- tral teams have been doing it for | Moser, MacDonald and Bants | in thelr day at Central were at home | against the zone, and Burgess and | years. Pete Nee, who followed. found little to balk them in that style. Last year Central’s~ inexperienced team, which won only two games, routed Tech’s zone defense for the most surprising upset of the series. This year, in the first clash, Tech used the watchful-waiting style and Central swamped the 1929 champions who shifted to the man-for-man de- fense too late to get back in the run- ning. The final’score was 45-25. Boyd Ready to Change. Artie Boyd, Tech’s coach, ig about ready to abandon the zone defense, and it is probable that he will start with the man-for-man style against Central in the important game to- morrow. Boyd watched Western run up a 27-14 lead with his men wait- ing at their posts and he also saw Tech; switched to the man-for-man style, come romping from behind to ‘take the game, 34-30, and gain the lead in the series. If Coach Boyd decides on the change, he will make two shifts in his starting line-up, sending Olver- son to center and Reichardt or Everett Johnson, who has just become eligible, +o guard. Johns and Talburtt, con- sidered regulars, have been notice- able by their absence whenever Tech has shifted to the man-for-man style. Coach Coggins may also make a change in his starting line-up, using George Brandt, of football fame, at center in place of Rice. Brandt Has Earned Chance. Brandt’s play in recent outside games, together with his showing in the closing minutes of the Business game, has earned him a chance. This game will offer several battles between’ individuals that are keenly awaited. Monk McCartee, Tech’s star ,uard, will probably.be assigned to Wilbur Cross, Central's scoring ace; while Lampson, whose guarding has been one of the series features, is likely to draw Everett Russell, Tech’s high scorer. While the majority of interest in tomorrow’s double-header is in Cen- tral’s attempt to tie Tech for the lead, the Business-Western game is promising of as much action. Western will be facing virtual elimination against Business. The Stenographers are out of the running but are as dangerous as any-team in the series.

Miss ao oo Brokers’ Firm Enters Investment Banking With the opening of businesé* to- day, the brokerage firm of E. A. Pierce & Co. in addition to conducting «4 Nation-wide commission business in securities and commodities, becomes a leading investment banking organi- zation. The firm has acquired the entire retail sales and stock commission of- ganizations of Merrill, Lynch @& Co., as well as their branch offices in Chicago, Denver, Detroit and Los An- geles. The commission business of E. A. Pierce & Co. will be conducted exactly as heertofore, membership be- ing retained in 33 of the security and | very large, the market are inclined to attribute ithe gradual] decline -to diminished | Support from banks and ‘insurance | companies, leading customers of the | market. This situation, it is pointed out, goes back to the break in stock prices. At that time there was an enormous demand for loans on policies, one esti- mate placing the amount thus ob- tained by hard pressed holders of equity securities at $100,000,000 above the average. Bank loans on collateral from distressed followers have been with the result that bank hold of bonds are far below the total of a yeer ago. Until both classes of frozen loans are substantially re- duced, it is believed, the bond market can not hope for much more help from these important sources. ~, In the last week the upward move- ment of stock prices was doubtless a counter attraction. Bond dealers know that investors’ memories are rather short and that the scurry to fixed income obligations which immediately followed the October-November col- lapse might easily prove to be only & temporary move so far a6 the in- vestor with speculative tastes is con- cerned. The flotation of issues during Jan- uary was the largest for a single month since April, 1928. It had been expected that a new monthly record would be set, but ‘the heaviness of listed securities under the compéti- tion afforded by the new bonds sug- gested that it might be wise to pro- ceed rather conservatively. Most. of the new issues, especially those of pew? highest grade, have been distribu put others have not met with guch favor and portions of these loans reported to be still on the shelves the syndicate members. The utilities continue to. be heavy borrowers, and eight of the major issues last month were of this de- scription. The most recent important offering is the $50,000,000 Interna- tional Telephone é Telegraph loan in 25-year debenture 5s, meted over- subscribed at 9644. The forthcoming Siemens & Halske issue of long-term Laaeshace + debentures, a large proportion oO which is reported to be going to the General Electric Go., is the first plece of foreign financing in this merket since last October and the largest German industrial flotation in some time. Negotiations for the offe had been in progress for se months. Otherwise, activities in the foreign field remain quiet, but listed bonds in this category, especially the obli-~ gations of leading governments, are now enjoying considerable lower éu port in this department, spparen represents preparation for the tions loan, expected in the spring. United States Government securi- ties were irregular last week, shifting up and down on small turnovers. The legal rails met preasure, but displayed encouraging resistance. Utilities and industrials of prime investment rat-. ings continued dull. Convertibles im- proved with stocks. STOCK PRICES’ CLIMB | FEATURES PAST WEEK Continued from Page 9. petition of new offerings of $127,000,- 000 this week. which were about $50,000,000 abeve those of a week ago. The rally in stocks was distributed over a fairly broad list, with the public ytility, merchandising and steel issues making the best showing, and the coppers, railroad equipments and Oils the greatest laggards. Trading. showed a marked expansion in vol- ume, Saturday's sales running close to 2,000,000 shares, with the ticker 22 minutes late in recording the final quotation. Credit conditions showed an easier tendency. Call money renewed on Priday at 4 per cent, the lowest open- ing rate in two years, but was marked up to 4% before the close because of the heavy demand for funds tn con- nection with weekly ro and month-end settlements nkers’ ac- ceptances were reduced % of 1 per cent. The Bank of France reduced ite dise count rate from 3% to 3 per cent; the lowest rate in that country since the beginning of the Balkan war in 1912. The lower Parig rate was lieved to be a forerunner of decreasés in the London and New York rates, as it restricts the possibility of further . | gold exports from England to France. Federal Reserve brokers’ loans in- creased only $4,000,000 last week, | despite the sharp revival of bullish markets. | activity in the securities | The break in cotton carried the -| March option close to 16 cents « pound, and all other active futures - below 17 cents, before the decline was checked toward the close of the week? An estimated increase of nearly 1,000,~ 000 bales in stocks on hand January 1 over the same date last year, coupled with uncertainty the cotton marketing policy of the Farm Board, were contributing factors to the decline. Wheat fell as much as 10 cents a bushel below the lows of last January on selling by the falling off in ex Ryssian erings in and favorable weather crop. ‘ - markets tor the.

Despite a reduction in numbers of ogs, more livestock was reported on farms as of January 1 this year com- | pared with January 1 a year ago.

Decline in Hogs Production. “Tre evidence of some decline in hog production,” said the report, “which is supported by the 1929 pig surveys and by reduced slaughtering in the last four months, suggests that the supply of hogs going to commer- cial slaughter for the marketing year ‘ending with September, 1930, will be 'somewhat smaller than that of the previous marketing year,” according to the report. “The beef cattle industry, on the other hand, has passed the low point of its production cycle and is now beginning slowly to expand. There is no evidence of very much increase in beef herds as yet, and slaughter in 1930 is expected to be about the same as in 1929. However, cattlemen are confronted by u general tendency to increase numbers of cattle and with the fact that in previous ex- perience such periods of expansion have been accompanied by several years Of generally declining prices. Readjustment for Dairies. “Dairymen also face a period of readjustment. While an annual in- crease of about 1 per cent in the number of milk cows is necessary, normally, to’ balance the growing de- mand, the number was increased 3 per cent in 1929. “The present number of heifers, 6 per cent larger than a year ago, 1s sufficient to cause still further iu- creases in cow numbers, in 1930. Probably more calves have been raised in the last two years than can be raised to advantage hereafter. Dairymen who have to buy dairy cows will probably be able to buy replacements at less cost in two or three years than they can now.” FIRE RECORD. m.—-Wisconsin and M : bank. 61 N street southwest: chair. m.—66 New York avenue north- avenue west; ll: a. m.—Central avenue and Ben- ning road northeast: gasoline station. 2:5 n.—Rear of 1213 K_ street automobile.

Joe E. Brown, Ford Sterling and T. Roy Barnes. Directed by John Francis Dillon. Reviewed Saturday afternoon. By NELSON B. BELL Just as “Rio Rita” was. translated to the sereen with all of its distinctly musical comedy attributes, many of sheet, intact, to provide one of the most sensational successes of the new era of the cinema, so has this other Ziegfeld stage triumph been convert- ed into an even more diverting en- tertainment and more fabulous spec- tacle to take such rank as the peer of any stage production of ite type yet picturized with sound. “Sally.” furthermore, has the ad- vantage of the presence in the cast of the original star and leading man of the stage version, supported by an admirabie roster of principals and @ more numerous ensemble than any ordinary stage could accommodate. The story, dealing with the highly imaginative experiences of an ambi- tious young waitress who becomes the star of the Ziegfeld “Follies,” is important only as a framework upon: which to drape an astonishing num- ber of magnificent embellishments That is to say, over and above the equally consequential function of permitting Marilyn Miller, most gos- samery‘of our ballerinas, to transfer to the articulate cinema those abun- dant talents that have made her one of the transcendent artistes of the light musical ~ - Miss Miller, incidentally. is a no less dominant personality before the lenses and microphones than it was upon the boards. She definitely takes her place among the most adequately equipped of the studios’ singing and dancing stars. Alexander Gray also scores effectively opposite Miss Miller. Both voices—Miss Méiller’s, by the way, having taken on much power, range and clarity since those early days when it was the husky counter- part of Bessie McCoy’s throaty organ —record excellently. Miss Miller’s ver- satility as a-dancer is given full scope in the modest opening scenes of the picture as well as in the se- quences devoted to the prodigious garden party given on. the Long Is- land estate of Mrs. Ten Brock, where the action progresses in most extraor- dinary fashion on three levels of | Vision. | The picturesque and romantic ele- ments, however, are no more stressed than the comic. Developments are vastly enlivened by such competent buffons as Joe E. Brown, in the role originally played by Leon Errol, whom he does not attempt to ape: Ford Sterling, as Shendorff; T. Roy Barnes. a comedian whose methods are of a little higher velocity than most others, as the theatrical booking agent, and Jack Duffy, as the non>- genarian stage door “John.” Others of importance among the principals include Maude Turner Gordon, Pert Kelton, Cissy Fitzgerald, Nora Lane and E. J. Ratcliffe, whom I stead- fastly believe to be the worst actor on the screen. The Technicolor treatment in the main is’ artistic and productive of many superbly beautiful scenes, al- though in occasional closeups sudden waves of green endow the players with the momentary appearance of violent mal de mer. The recording is of a consistently high order of merit and I am sure, nothing more lovely than the butterfly ballet has found its way to the public view. Of such a superlative character is the major feature that the newsreel is the only screen auxiliary. The orchestra offers an enthusiastically applauded overture of song hits that were ccntemporaneous with “Sally,” each number being announced through the loud speaker by Milton Davis, with the choruses of “Bleep” and “Smiles” sung by the Dawson Brothers with fine effect. COLUMBIA “CHASING RAINBOWS.” Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer talking, singing and dancing picture, with Technicolor sequences, featuring Bessie Love and Charles King, supported by Marie Dressier and Jack Benny. Directed by Charles F. Riesner. Reviewed Saturday night by Mary Porter Russell. The stars of “Broadway Melody” are here again in a picture that will remind you not only of that pioneer among the singing-dancing films but of countless numbers of backstage productions that have come and gone since its record-breaking run of months ago. Its well known plot will stimulate neither your imagination nor any other form of mental activ- ity. Yet it has Bessie Love, about whose fitness for the role of a game little trouper there can be no dissen- sion, and it has Marie Dressler, the clown irresistible. Miss Dressler, in the process of running away with the comedy hon- ors of the piece, enacts a drunken scene that is pricelessly funny, while Miss Love manages to inject a few moments of real drama into the story through the hysterical, heart-broken laughter with which she receives word of her partner’s marriage to the scheming leading lady of the touring troupe. Yes, the central characters are part- ners, the feminine half of the team possessing all the virtues of the per- fect woman. with stress.on under- standing and patience, and the mas- culine half a conceited nit-wit who tortures her devoted eyes by display- ing his affections for others in a se- ries of love illnesses which culminate in the disastrous marriage. Thén, when he realizes his fetly and sinks weakly in despair, she lifts him to her side again for happy days ahead. We told you it was just another one. The saving graces, in addition to the presence of Miss Love and Miss Dressler, who is aided and abetted in her antics by Polly Moran, are an ex- cellent performance by Jack Benny as the stage manager, some effective Technicolor sequences and numerous logically introduced comedy num- bers and songs, the latter including “Love Ain't Nothing but the Blues.” in which Marjorie Joesting appears briefly, and the rather tuneful selec- tion for the finale, “‘Happy Days Are Here.” “‘Lucky Me and Lovable You” is sung by Charles King on several occasions, once in a hotel bedroom, as was his big song in “Broadway Melody.” This time the ‘accompani- by the turning on of a victrola, an incident which may %e used as an example of the imgrovements the present film offers in minor respects over its famous predecessor.

Van Dine novel, adapted by Lenore J. Coffee and directed by Nick Grinde and David Burton. Basil Rath- bone featured as Philo Vance, supported by Leila Hyama, Alec B. Francis Roland Young and star cast. Reviewed Saturday night. . Most adroitiy executed of all the adapted murder mysteries, this one may safely be guaranteed to keep the spectator gripping the arms of his chair. Patterned after the familiar S. S. Van Dine formula, this latest of the shudder-and-shake dramas to reach the local screen,is not content to employ so modest an allotment as One crime to baffle an audience, but after the initial murder that enlists the deductive faculties of Philo Vance introduces four additional deaths, almost before the very eyes of the chilled and thrilled auditor, to make complete his befuddlément as to the identity of the slayer. This would be nothing more. salu- tary than lurid penny-dreadful stuff were it not elevated to a high plane of artistry by as notable a cast as the season is apt to bring forth. Basil Rathbone, remembered for a particu- larly facile bit as leading man with Norma Shearer in “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney,” one of the most delightful of the all-talkies, is a. terse, authori- tative and engaging Philo Vance, whose skill as a logician seems not incompatible with his convincing de- portment as a gentleman of educa- tion to whom the social graces were by no means foreign. Leila Hyams is the distraught young woman in the case@and plays her part excellently. Zelda Sears, Bodil Rosing and Nelly Bly Baker appear as the only other feminine characters of consequence. Among the numerous victims of sudden death and those suspected of the killings, particularly able per- formances are offexed by Roland Young, Alec B Francis and George Marion, the last named assuming the character role of Adolph Drukker, of a type he plays, perhaps, better than any one else in the theater. Other portrayals scarcely less fmpressive in proportion to the opportunities af- forded, are contributed by Carroll Nye, Charles Quartermaine, James Donlan, Sydney Bracey, Clarence Geldert and Delmar Daves. The recording, photography and direction reflect a high development of mechanical and _ interpretative skill. On the stage, the “Laceland” re- vue is principally notable for the presence of Lou Holtz as master of ceremonies and entertainer. Mr. Holtz, one of the favorite clowns of the musical stage, is a richly amus- ing dialectician and raconteur and a balladist of no mean attainment. He evidently deems “A Sweetheart’s Holiday” his vocal piece de resist- ance, but I am not sure that the audience did not decide it was a re- vamped version of his ‘‘O, Sole Mio,” sung to the accompaniment of a guitar strung with rubber bands. Next to Mr. Holtz, the Pearl Twins are the show stoppers. These se- ductive sirens, fashioning their songs and dances after the Parisian man- ner of the Dolly Sisters, or the Sis- ters G, are very continental, indeed, if you know what I mean. An un- named young comedian who aided Mr. Holtz momentarily, the Chester Hale Girls and the Dolores, Douglas and Eddy adagio team complete the personnel of this breezy Loew unit. The Hearst Metrotone News, the pit orchestra and Mr. Gaige’s organ in- terludes complete the bill. .N. B. B. METROPOLITAN “THE SACRED FLAME.”’ Warner Bros. talking picture, from the play by W. Som- erset Maugham. Cast includes Pauline Frederick, Conrad Nagel, Lila Lee, Walter Byron, William Courtney, Alex B. Francis and Dale Fuller. Directed by Archie Mayo. Reviewed Sunday afternoon by C. Ran- som. Thus far there has been no more notable example than this of the talking screen applying itself seri- ously to the task of producing drama. This does not mean necessarily that it points the best way for the talkies to progress, or that it is among the highest achievements in the new me- dium. It is one kind of thing that the screen must learn to do well, but probably not the biggest or most vital thing. It makes too little use of the sweeping powers of movement and vision that give the films their pe- culiar privileges. : “The Sacred Flame” shuns these privileges and confines itself to un- folding the tense and moving emo-, tions of a family group, writhing un- der a bludgeoning stroke of chance. It is a somber story, simple and straightforward, seeking the depths of life, and unrelieved by any im- pertinent humors. A press agent who would describe it as a murder mys- tery (and one did) should be deprived of his copy paper. It is true that there is a murder and a moment of doubt about who committed it, but you might as well call “Macbeth” a crook-drama. Not that Mr. Maugham has earned a seat with the immortal William. His lines are written with sincerity and point, but do not exactly sparkle. He has built up a baffling life problem for his people, one that is common enough to appeal to every ore, but the solution that he proposes is.more shocking than convincing. A young Englishman, soldier and flier, is crippled in a flying field accident as he is about to leave with his bride of that day. Three years later we find him still confined to his wheel chair, cheerful but secretly hopeless. His young wife is devoted to him, but on the arrival of. her husband’s brother from South America nature asserts itself. The wife and brother plan flight together, but on the eve of their departure the crippled hus- band dies of an overdose of sleeping tablets. A prudish nurse, in love with her patient, accuses his wife and reveals her planned elopement. Here the mother of the two brothers steps forward with vigorously ex- pressed sympathy for the young wife’s predicament, and finally with con- fession. Nobility of sacrifice, repression of self in the interest of the unfortu- nate, devotion to the idea) of service, prevailing in*the development of the drama, give way abruptly in the climax to an action which, no matter how carefully and plausibly defended, still shows itself as definitely ignoble. Incredible, too, in a mother. Technically the production is nearly perfect. Pauline Frederick, as the mother, gives a superb perform- ance. Conrad Nagel is the cripple, acceptable as he always is, but per- haps not at his best. Lila Lee is ad- mirable as the wife. The brother, the nurse, the doctor and an elderly ma- jor complete the intimate group of well-played characters. The feature runs for only an hour, and the remaining interval has been filled with an unusually good variety of short numbers. More news pic- tures than usual are shown.

This is not another backstage story only because most of its action takes place in a theatrical boarding house and none of it in a playhouse. The characters are all of the stage, the dialogue is all in the vernacular of the varieties “and the atmosphere wholly that of the theater, despite the fact that the principals are all off duty. Moreover, it is'a thoroughly entertaining yarn, dramatic when need be, stuffed tight with comedy almost its entire length,.enlivened by many songs and dances and spiked with thrills at the end. aes) The pivotal characters are a team’ of male acrobats, forced to lay off by a severe shoulder injury to one of them, and a feminine “single” they meet at Stella Foster's boarding house in New York.

And it is! g Taking the original «silent release of the picture as the basis for a film built around the Paris Opera House, Universal has built up a weird story coupled with the innate beauty aid tunefulness of that famous opera. Lon Chaney carries his orig role without change, each scene in which he participates remaining in- tact even to the subtitles.

The major changes in the original cellyloid come in the roles played by Mary Philbin and. Norman Kerry. Other speaking parts. are provided, but they have no great part in the development of the plot. Especially noteworthy are the three “Faust” arias—the jewel song, the spinning song, and Marguerite’s finale —and these are done excellently and practically in full. ; Several scenes in brilliant color— and not those that would have been most spectacular at that!—and sound effects superimposed on parts of the original picture can not be said to be especially well done.
