of such a country as Roumania, and
would run that entire nation, in
Guiding all its expenses, for more
than four years.
That is Rockefeller's justification.
Money making has been his guiding
star. He weathered the bitter attacks
of critics who years ago found his
amassing of wealth social menace.
Such talk is little heard in these
days of big business. Denouncing
Rockefeller is out-moded.
Rockefeller years ago withdrew
from his life business. His fortune
has gone into the hands Of his son,
who is reputed to be worth a bill
lion dollars. The great JOY of the
old mans life is to see John ID. Jr..
carrying on as he himself once did
not dissipating the great fortune. but
adding to it Systematically and bal
ancing it by the steady outflow to
the Rockefeller philanthropies that
have become big industry in them
selves.
And so the aged tinancier nears
the end OF the road. steadfast in the
face of all criticism to his creed
make all the money you can, hon
estly, as a religious duty: give album
dainty. and believe in God.

were on the army and navy bulle-

Damage estimated at $1,000 was
done by fire in wooden house at

The house is d story and one-half in
height and is owned by Augusta
Samadesky. who Was working in the
garden while her children were
alone inside. She told Chief W. j.
Noble the children We're asleep when
she went out, but the chiefs theory
is that they started the fire, possibly
through playing with matches.

vas called at S:34 o'clock and one
minute later other companies re-
sponded to an alarm from Box I'll
at Chapman and Jubilee streets.
The fremen found the flames eating
away the roof and interior of the
house and despite their efforts the
fire spread and threatened to reduce
the place to ashes. Practically the
entire roof was destroyed and the

or that he vanished in a fast motor
car after landing at Dunkirk.
Newspapers recalled that the
mysterious deaths of prominent
persons had always been followed
by such reports.
Had No Reason
All who knew Loewenstein insist :
ed that he had no reason for COM
hitting suicide. In Paris it was
thought that the most plausible
theory was that the banker had
been thrown against the exit door
when the plane was banking on a
turn and the door opened permit
ting him to slip through to his
death. 1t was asserted that when the
plane was banking the wind pres
sure on the door would have been
less.
The Paris Journal had its cores
pondent at Calais investigate the
PoooApAtAty VI . NdlHSh-
ing alive. He made a careful exam
ination Of official records Of the
fight and reached the conclusion
that the time which elapsed between
the departure Of the plane from
Croydon and Its landing at Dunkirk
would have made 1t impossible for

stop en- route.
Landed In Daylight
The correspondent thought that
it would have been equally impos-
sible for Loewenstein to have slip
ped away after the plane landed at
Dunkirk without being observed. 1t
was full daylight at the time and
the beach was open withoue any
trees or houses in the vicinity to af-
ford cover for flight.
The Daily Express quoted an un-
named intimate friend of Loewen-
stein As saying the Belgian was sub
ject to sudden heart attacks due to
an abnormal blood pressure of more
than 200 millimeters instead of the
normal $50. The discovery OF his
collar and tie in the plane suggests
to the friend the possibility that
Loewenstein had ripped these on to
gain relief from sudden attack.
Finding this insufficient he was
thought to have forced open the
door. splintering the wooden frame,
TO get fresh air. collapsed from the
exertion and plunged to his death.

EXPECT DRYS WILL
NOT BACK Smith
AsheYile Conference Is SChd-
uled to Be Held Soon

Washington, July (UP)-Demo-
cratic leaders expect the dry" con-
ference at Asheville, n. c., next week
to accept resolutions urging south
ern dry democrats not TO vote for
Governor Smith.
They hope the warning then will
be forgotten.
One senator high in the Smith
democratic organization told the
United Press today that the effec-
tiveness of the meeting called by
Bishop James Cannon of the Meth
odist church, is lost before the
meeting opens next Wednesday.
This senator pointed to what he
called the detection of Senator SIM
mons, North Carolina anti-Smlth
leader, Governor Moody of Texas
and even Senator Helm of Alabama
Helm In Iowa
Hefin now is in Iowa making his
single handed anti-Smith campaign.
with a speaking schedule for the
rest of the month His office here
said he would not attend the Ashe-
willie meeting. and added that MS
strenuous activities of recent months
have tired him. necessitating long
rest thereafter.
Senator Simmons, who did not at
tend the Houston convention, Is
away from Washington vacatlonlng
for a fortnight, and his office here
did not even know of his where
abouts today. He will not attend
the Asheville meeting.
The dry leaders, however, con-
,inued with plans for the executive
conference. designed to warn, but
nor to organize, southern democrats
against Smith.
one dry leader pointed out that
the southern drys already are Or
sanized, through their churches, IN
favor OF prohibition and he foresaw
the possibility that some southern
pastors, if sufficiently aroused.
would make anti-Smith speeches eV-
ery Sunday until November.
The extreme drys who will attend
the conference all take the position
that the prohibition issue, as DIS
closed so far in the campaign, is
not a straing out "wet-dry' battle.
They say that Smith is nullifica-
zionist; that the only honest wet
Is one who campaings for repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment. and
nothing else. The Nolstead act cam
not be modified to allow light wines
and beers without violating the
amendment. they argue. The prohl-
bition amendment must be construed
by the federal government: the U.
g. Supreme Court has decided that
states cannot give varying construc-
lions TO a clause of the constitution,
they argue.
Anti-saloon league officials en-
phasized today that the meeting Is
not a league affair. although Cam
non and Barton are league execu-
tives. The league is described as
non partisan politically, and Barton
and Cannon acted on their own ini-
'iative in calling the meeting after
the house convention.
About so invited dry and church
leaders are expected to attend the
sessions staring Wednesday at Ashe-
Vile. The meetings will last two or
