Milford, supplied stocking filled with
nuts, candy and fruit for each child,
122 in number. A turkey dinner was
served, the turkeys having been rails

Welshman Who Speaks
No English Is Found

London. - David Jones of
Triael Blaenpennal, LIanilar,
Cardiganshire, has proved that
there is at least one Welshman
who can speak only Welsh.
Jones, brought before the
kings bench division in London,
began giving his testimony in
Welsh, to the confusion Of the
court. He failed to understand
questions put to him by the
judge and a Welsh interpreter
had to be called.
OF recent years there has
been a concerted revival of the
Welsh language throughout
Wales, but hitherto Londoners
have been unwilling to believe
there are Welshmen who know
only the language of their ia
Tiers.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon)


NEW YORK, Dec. Yesterday
was day of important news. We
may differ in our views as to tha
relative importance of the various
items. Some may consider the most
important the high interest rate
and the further loss of gold. Some
will attach most Importance to the
further large increase in brokers'
loans. Our own opinion is that the
most important news Of the day was
the announcement by the president
of General Motors Corporation
denying the truth of the story that
was so widely circulated that Gen.
eral Motors was to turn over the
truck business to the Yellow Com
pany, and furthermore that Gen.
eral Motors had actually sold in the
open market large block of the
Yellow Truck stock. Such a candid
statement is entirely consistent with
the high-grade management Of
General Motors and it would be
we'll if the heads of other Corpora
tions would get away from this old
idea of standing on dignity and
come out and deny stories that they
know are not true.

GO IN SMALLER SHIPS
Leaves Sunday on Mary
land for Next Stop at
CaIlaS, Peru.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ABOARD U. S. S. CLEVELAND,
EN- ROUTE TO QUAYAQUIL,
Ecuador, Dec. 1.-Silk hat American
diplomacy met the panama hat in
its home today when President
Elect Herbert Hoover's goodwill
mission opened it's South American
tour with a visit to Ecuador.
Mr.. Hoover left the U. S. S. Mary
land at a. m. and boarded the
cruiser Cleveland, detailed to carry
him up the Quayas river which is
too shallow to permit the passage
of a larger vessel.
The Maryland met the Cleveland
by arraignment off Puma island
about o'clock this morning. Mem
berS of the Hoover party and the
Marylands band we're taken to the
Cleveland in motor launches. The
! Cleveland had a thirty-mile run
ahead of it to reach the head of the
island, in the south of the Quayas
river. Forty miles up the river is
Quayaquil.
Plan Reception
The Cleveland will stop at the end
of Puma island about II a. m. for
reception to Mr.. Hoover by the
foreign minister of Ecuador and
other officials who will continue on
to Quayaquil with the party.
The early start of the Cleveland
was made to take advantage of high
tide necessary for successful navi-
cation of the river. Arrival at
Quayaquil was planned for 2 p. m.
President Elect Hoover will stay
overnight at Guayaquil.
DR.. Isidro Ayora, president of
Ecuador. will meet the Hoover party
at Quayaquil and an afternoon re-
ception will fololw. In the evening
there will be an official dinner and
reception.
Sleep Aboard Cleveland
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover and a few
members Of the party will sleep on
members of the party will sleep
board the Cleveland and other
| dationS.
The Cleveland is scheduled to
leave Quayaquil about o'clock
Sunday morning for return to the
Maryland, anchored of Puma
Island. The Maryland will set sail
for Callao, Peru, the seaport for
Lima, capital of Peru.
DESPITE the entrance of the Mary
land into the equatorial regions the
weather was much cooler because
of the Humboldt current which
sweeps the western coast of South
America with cooling breezes. It's
waters are chilled at its source in
the Anthracite.
The Maryland crossed the equator
at 1:24 o'clock Friday afternoon.
The temperature at noon was only
n degrees and at 7 p. m. it was 72
degrees.

AIR SITE DELAY HIT
Councilman Sees No Rea-
son for SloWneSS.

Albert F. Meurer, city councilman,
today deplored the delay in pur-
chase of a municipal airport site.
II wish the city would do some
thing about buying a landing field.
There is no reason for such a delay
I do not know that anything is be-
ing done at present" Meurer said.
Last week the Chamber of Com
merce airport committee selected
Site 8, south of Ben Davis, in ac-
cordance with Mayor L. Ert Slack's
recommendation.
The board Of works has not re-
ceived a formal recommendation
from The mayor and will not act
until Slack has passed his program
on to the board, Oren S. Hack said.
Nothing was before the board Fri
day, Hack said.
1t was hoped council would act
Monday night on the airport project
but necessary preliminary steps
have not been taken by Slack ad-
miniStration leaders.
