Device to Guide Ships
Tested on Manchuria

q device designed to guide vessels
safely through the channels Of this
harbor in thick weather was tested
Yesterday on the American liner Man
enuria as she steamed through the har-
Dor and Ambrose Channel on her wav
to Hamburg.
The device, which consists of seven
conductor wires submerged in the
channel from Ambrose Channel Light
to place in the upper bay, gave the
Manchuria ample sound indications of
her position in the fairway throupbout
her departure from port. Sensitive
wires. slung over the vessels side and
trailed below the urface, served to
communicate buzzing sound to the
bridge when the vessel was safely in
mid-channel.
y The test, which was regarded as ex-
ceptionally successful, was conducted
by Lieutenant Commander J. w. Reeves

House Endorses
Bonus as Fixed
BY Co nf erees
Mondell Makes Fight 10 Get
Reclamation Feature Re-
inserted i'm Measure. but
Fails TO Obtain Support
Bill Now Goes TO Senate
Report Adopted Without
Debate Save for Contro-
versy Over Land Feature

From The TTibnme's Washington Buyss.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l4.--.After de-
feating n maneuver by Republican
Floor Leader Mondell TO re-insert the
land reclamation feature in the bonus
bill the House this afternoon approved
the conference report on the measure
without record vote and with less
than quorum present. The bill now
goes to the Senate.
There was virtually no debate. The
report of the conferees was considered
for only about two hours and almost
half Of this time was devoted to argu-
ments for and against Leader Mon
dell's point of order. The land recla.
nation fight amounted to little more
than one-man affair. The lack of
vigor in the support that he got from
few members was apparently due to
the feeling that Mr.. Mondelps inter
est was local one. Land reclamation
is an especially live issue in Wyo-
ming, Representative Mondelps state.
and the Republican floor manager, it
was pointed out, is candidate for the
Senate in the coming election.
Speaker Upholds Conferees
The point raised by Representative
Mondell was that the conferees on the
bonus bill exceeded their authority in
striking the land reclamation feature
from the bill. He was overruled by
Speaker Gillett, who decided that the
Senate and House reclamation plans
were such distinctly different PROPOSE
tions there could be no compromise
between them and that, therefore, the
conferees were justified in striking out
beth in order to reach an agreement.
The Speaker referred in his decision
to "the historical case" of the man who
wanted to go TO the seashore and the
wife who wanted to go to the noun
tains for their vacation. "T'hey COM
promised by going to the mountains"
said Mr.. Gillett, and then pointed out
that the conferees had found a similar
impasse in dealing with this question.
Arizona Member Protests
Representative Carl Hayden, Demo-
crat, of Arizona, was one who attacked
the conferees for failing to bring in
compromise between the Senate and
House reclamation plans. He declared
that they "could have reached an
agreement on this feature, but the
truth of the matter is that they fol-
lowed their private inclinatiens rather
than the will of the Congress"
On the other hand, the striking out
of the section was applauded by Rep
resentatiye John P. Hill, Republican,
of Maryland, and one of the leaders of
the service group in the House. He
declared their action would "take from
the backs of the taxpayers burden
that would ultimately have reached
somewhere between $350,000,000 and
81 100000 00o,' and at the same time
would have subjected the service men
to violent criticism.

under way for separating the business

Constantine Harpendng Pavellos, at 4, sLisped in
Numbers Like Late Mr.. Wordsworth; Is Now
Visiting Bay Ridge; He Likes Coney Island

Here is ancient Greece come to life
again in the person of a small boy, just
past his eighth birthday. His name is
Constantinos Harpending Pavellas, and
he might have stepped from the pages
Of mythology, in his peach-colored cot
ton tunic and white sandals. Constan-
tinos was born in Corinth, Greece, but
he has lived in California since he was
two years old.
Constantinos writes poetry, not of
the "little birdie" school, but poems
about the sun and the trees and Greece,
always Greece. They bound out of
him, and his mother catches the words
as they fall, until by now he has Gre
ated about hundred, which will be
gathered into volume to be published
soon.
He was only four or five years old
when he wrote these lines:
''Oh. wild waves, wher storms do rise
Upon the ocean deer.
swThen many a chip has sunk in thee
In day and night, in sleep
Shortly afterward he wrote the follow

oh, Greece, thou eternal life;

oh, Greece, thou dawn of the world;
Thou gorgeous, blos5oming sunrise,
Thou winged bird that flies in the open"
Constantinos will go back to Greece
some day, he thinks. Next to Greece,
he loves California, Mill Valley especl-
ally, where his home is. He calls New
York ugly, though he loves its parks,

may write poem about it when he re-
turns to his mother in California. He
is with his aunt in Bay Ridge, waiting
for his sick grandfather to recover
sufficiently to make the trip across the
continent with him.
Constantinos never knows when he is
going to write poem He may be
sitting by window and brooding all
alone when suddenly, as he explains
it, he feels as if all nature were in him
and he must speak. Out pour the
phrases, rich in symbolism. But,
though he never memories his poems,
that his mother may have written while
recording his utterances.
One day ne was watching sun
streaked rainbow after storm. Wildly
excited, he called his mother.
"Metera,' he cried, II want to tell
you poem.
"a golden river flashed across the sky,
AS golden as the sunset."
His uncle, who was In the room at
the time, felt actually frightened at the
sight of youngster who swrled his
colored scarf about him to emphasize
each word.
There is every reason in the world
why Constantinos should write poetry.
His mother has trunkful of verses
she has written. His father is the edi-
tor of Greek American newspaper,
"Prometheus," printed in California.
His grandfather wrote book.
The boy poet has not yet decided
upon his future profession, but he is
sure he will be an artist of some sort.
He may write plays, for the few he has
created so far have delighted him.
His parents do not, as SO many other
parents cf prodigies have done, claim
that their son is "real boy, with a

They do say that he is sturdy with
