January, 1929, with a mean temper
ature Of three degrees below zero. has

to 1875, however, can still boast that
the winters are milder now. In jan
uary Of that year the average tenn
perature was nine below zero. In
1883 the average was six below while
1857 and 1915 were tied for third
place In point Of low temperature with
five below.
Less precipitation was reported last
January than during any Of the pre-
vious years during which the temper
ature was abnormally low. The total

FATHER BACKS SON
AGAINST STEWART
John D. Rockefeller Announces
Support Of Son in Stand
ard Oil Fight

New York, Feb. 1.-(R-John D
Rockefeller, Sr., today stood shoulder
to shoulder with his son, John D
Rockefeller. Jr., in the fight to oust
Colonel Robert w. Stewart Of Chicago
from the Craftsmanship Of the Stand
ard OH Company Of Indiana.
Support for his sons cause was an
nounced from the Rockefeller offices
36 Broadway.
Mr.. Stewart, who had said he would
not believe John. d. Rockefeller would
desire his removal from the Indiana
oil chairmanship until he saw ''posi-
tive proof Of 1t" was in the city on q
secret visit when the statement was
issued.
He refused to comment on any
phase Of the controversy.
The elder Rockefeller in the first
formal statement he has issued in
10 years, said In part:
''Mr. Rockefeller, ST., owns no stock
in the Standard OIL Company Of In
diana. He feels that his son has pro-
ceeded only with the earnest desire
to do that which will be best for the
truest welfare of the Standard Oil
Company Of Indiana and for large
corporate interests in general. Mr..
Rockefeller, ST., agrees with his son
and does not see how his son could
have done otherwise. He has pro-
ceeded with deliberation and patience
and with the utmost consideration for
the feelings of all parties concerned.
It has been an unpleasant duty for
him, but one which in all good con-
science he could not shirk."
Is Important Factor
The statement was issued after an
exchange Of kilograms and cables
among Mr.. Rockefeller, ST.. who Is at
his winter home at Ormond Beach,
Fla, and his son now travelling in
Egypt and their associates here.
The public alignment Of the father
with John D. Rockefeller, Jr, In the
controversy was seen In financial
circles as q factor Of tremendous sig
nificance for it was predicted that the
Influence of the elder Rockefeller
would swing important blocks Of In
diana oil stock into line against Mr..
Stewart.

Wild Rose Suggested
for National Flower

Fargo. N. D., Feb. 1.-The wild rose,
state flower Of North Dakota, has
been advocated for the national flow
er by a prominent eastern botanist,
according to the American Nature as
sociation which is conducting an ac-
tive campaign for q national popular
vote on this subject.
A difference in opinion arises In
North Dakota, however. when Prof.
Q. A. Stevens, pure seed analyst and
plant specialist, North Dakota Agri-
cultural college, casts his vote for the
goldenrOd as national flower.
The wild rose is widely distribute
ed plant. but is not at all characteris-
tic of America, was one of Professor
Stevens reasons for rejecting this
plant and voting for goldenrod. He
believes that the national flower
should be common In all or as many
sections of the country as possible,
that it should be a real wild flower"

BLUE LAW FOE ASKS
HOOVER TO EXPLAIN
Washington Teacher Wants to
Know Why Audience Was
Denied Him.

President Hoover was called upon to-
day to explain why the foes OF Sunday
blue laws are unable to secure the same
privilege of an audience at the White
House as accorded recently to repre-
sentatives of the Lords Day Alliance
by Henry FURY of washington, teach
er In the Public Schools, and president
of the National Association Opposed to
Blue Laws from his Atlantic City
branch office. who says he has been
waiting patiently since July IL" for
reply to his telegram of that date ask
ing for an audience with the President.
While on the subject Of the blue laws
FURY took occasion to score the ex-
PLANTATION given out at the White House
concerning the failure of President
Hoover to receive Mayor Spencer M. De
Golfer of Bradford, Pa, vice president
of the N. A. O. B. L. George Akerson's
reasons given to newspaper men, mot
to our representatives" Flury's state
ment said, heers the marks of "a modi-
fed form Of the ridiculous white
House spokesman we fervently hoped
had disappeared"
FURY is a teacher at Eastern High
School, and has figured in several con-
troversia1 cases before the Board OF
Education in connection with ATHEIST
propaganda.
His letter to the President was made
public today at the Washington head
quarters of the anti-blue law associa-
ton.
In using the word privilege" in con-
nection with the request that the blue
law foes be accorded the same rights
granted to officials Of the Lords Day
Alliance, FURY said he did so advisedly
because it is q privilege and not a right
for the President to grant an audience
to any group of public-spirited citizens"
TOO long, Mr.. President. has this
Cannon group dictated to American
citizens petty personally restricted regu-
lations," Flury's letter concluded.

IMPROVED PLAZA
FUND SEEN EARLY
Senator Reyes Believes Sum
Will Be Set Aside Quickly
by Congress.

Congress will make the first appro-
priation for the Identification of Union
Station Plaza. early In the regular ses-
sion, Senator Keyes Of New Hampshire,
chairman of the Senate committee on
buildings and grounds, predicted to-
day.
Senator Reyes, who has been one of
the leading advocates of carrying out
the Plaza improvement, is watching
with qualification the work now in
of tearing down one group OF
the wartime dormitories standing in the
way of the park project. Although some
of the dormitories nearest the railroad
terminal will be left standing for the
time being, 1t will be possible to start
landscape treatment Of the squares at
the south end of the Plaza as soon as
Congress makes an appropriation for
that purpose.
The last Congress authorized the en-
tire project and placed the limit of
cost at slightly less than $4,000, 900, a
large part of which will be needed to
acquire additional land to the west Of
the original Plaza area to conform to
the revised plans finally ratified. The
purpose Of enlarging the Plaza is to
have the proposed diagonal boulevard
from Union Station meet Pennsylvania
avenue between Second and Third
streets instead of at Peace Monument,
as originally suggested.
