STUDENT BURNED
IN ACID ATTACK
Central High School Senior
Scared in Mysterious
Locker Room Attack.

Herman Gumenick, 17-year-old SEN
ior at Central High School, and son
of prominent local contractor, was
painfully burned on the face and neck
yesterday afternoon in the locker room
of the school when acid from a test
tube hurled by some unknown person
splattered on him when the vial burst
upon striking a locker over his head.
He may be permanently SCARED.
He had just gotten out of class, gone
to the locker room and was about to
open the locker. The test tube appar-
entity was thrown from the other end
Of the room over several rows of lock-
ers. It burst against the steel door
about foot above his head, the burn
Ing liquid spraying downward In his
face. Part of it barely missed his left
eye.
The pain was so great, Herman said
that he did not even think to see who
was in the room at the time or try to
find the hurler of the test tube.
He Immediately ran upstairs to the
second floor chemistry laboratory, where
DR.. Guy Clinton, head of the chemistry
department of the school, applied BIZ
carbonate of soda to the burns to rleu-
tralize the acid and then sent him
home.
DR.. E. S. Hendry of 1910 N street
treated the wounds again yesterday
afternoon and last night.
Meanwhile the affair was reported to
police and school officials. Today both
were conducting an investigation to find
who threw the acid.
Young Gumenick said today that 1t
must have been thrown by some one
who skipped" class the preceding
period, since if he had attended the
class he would not have been able to
reach the locker room by the time he
himself got there. The reason, he said,
is that his class just before the oc-
currence. was held across the hall from
the locker room, while the chemistry
laboratory is on the second floor at
the farther end of the building.
The physician who treated the boy
was unable to say whether the scars
would prove permanent.

GENEVA, November 17.-With the
economic aspect of Herbert Hoover's S
trip to Latin America attracting par
ticular attention in international cir
cles, there were indications at Geneva
today that large Latin American coun-
tries were making special efforts 10
increase their trade with Europe as well
as the United States.
In this connection League OF Ma
tions circles gave special Importance TO
the participation of Ecuador and Mexi-
co. which are not members OF the
League, in the economic and statistic
conference lich convenes on November
26. This will also be attended by two
other non-member states, the United
States and Russia.
This participation is believed to IN
dicate the increasing significance OF
economic understandings as the surest
road to Increased prosperity and the
consolidation of peace.
Ecuador, which is thought to be draw
ing closer to the League, is now making
a drive to obtain markets for cacao ana
rubber. Other Latin American states
are known to be Systematically seeking
to develop their immense natural re-
sources. Therefore, Mr. Hoovers tour
is deemed to be of the greatest 1mpor-
tance to economic cooperation.
The American delegation to the con-
ference will include DR.. E. Dana Durano'
chief of the Division of Statistical Re-
search of the Department of Com
merce and one of Mr. Hoover's coun--
selors: Asher Hobson of the Department
of Agriculture, James F. Dewhurst of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadel--
phia and Elbridge D. Rand, consul at

Eyes of World Statesmen Focused on
Americas Next Move.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
BY Gable to The Star and thu. Chicaso Daily
News. Copyright. 1928.
PARIS, November 17.-The United
States today occupies the center OF the
international political forum. The eyes
of statesmen everywhere are turned
with expectation and not without
anxiety toward Washington.
On Tuesday when David Lloyd
George and Premier Baldwin crossed
foils in the House of Commons and on
Thursday when Premier Poincare adj
dressed the French chamber, references
to the United States, direct or indirect,
might almost be said to have dominated
the debate.
With respect to world peace, it Is
not the League Of Nations which for
the moment is focusing attention, but
the question whether the United
States Senate when it meets in Decem-
ber will actually ratify the Kellogg
pact outlaWing war, and with what
reservations.
In the Forthcoming reparations nego-
tiations it is less the French and British
and German views than the somewhat
obscure American view which promises
to be decisive.
Legation Change Studied.
Far Eastern experts are studying the
possible effects of the announced deci-
sion of the United States to raise its
diplomatic post at Marking from lega-
ton to an embassy.
Latin American experts are studying
the possible effects of Herbert Hoover'Ss
goodwill voyage.
Naval experts are studying the newly
published report of the United States
General Navy Board calling for more
big cruisers, more airplanes and the
extension of the 5-5-3 ratio to all
classes of ships.
Political experts are studying the
character and past utterances of the
American President-elect with view
to foreshadowing his future attitude In
great world problems.
Above all, President Coolidges IS
armistice day speech is being studied.
for it is reported that Mr.. Hoover read
the manuscript and that he is likely to
adhere in the main to the so-called
Coolidge policies. This speech seems
| to do three things. It reopens brisk
| polemic with Europe regarding misun-
| derstandings between the two CONT
nents which the Atlantic, with its busy
sea ways, now unites as much as it
separates. 1t clarifies and emphasizes
the new international situation and the
i foreign policies of the United States
And finally it hints, somewhat enignat-
ically, at the terms on which the United
States would be ready to compromise
with Europe in some kind of new
| financial settlement.
Coolidge View Opposed.
Whether regarding war losses, naval
disarmament, the causes of antagoniSms
between nations, the distribution of the
former German colonies, or our vaunted
generosity in all matters, there is scarce
| ly a point on which sincere, though
possibly misguided, European opinion is
not diametrically opposed to President
Coolidge's statements.
Practically all the rest of the world
| looks upon us today as the great rising
| financial and political imperialism, en-
gagged for the time being in peaceful,
| but strenuous rivalry with the older i'm
perialisrn of Great Britain. in which the

newspapers to treat this message in a

been done in the past.
The President has learned that former

subjects to be covered he feels that he

much shorter than op former occasions.
