REMEDY URGED
FOR POVERTY

Occupational reimbursement is
responsible for much of the UNI
employment and poverty in the
country, according to Prof. Harold
e. Clark, of Columbia University.
Speaking before a meeting of
the American Sociological So
ciety at the Willard Hotel yester-
day, Professor Clark said that,
accepting the assumption that oc-
cupational distribution is correct
when persons of equal ability re-
ceive equal wages in all occupa-
tiona there Is much maladjuSt-
ment in America.
Professor Clark declared that
some. Of the reimbursement can
be removed by reducing artificial
barriers to occupations, and a
larger part can be eliminated by
an educational system which will
tend to send people from poorly
paid occupations into highly paid
callingS.

The three-ply investigation into
the Black Duck Staying was feat
ured by a controversy between
Federal and Rhode Island Off
Gals. When United States Attor-
ney Henry M. Boss jr., Of Provi-
dence declared that while he
was conducting an, investigation
he did not expect to present the
case to grand jury. Benjamin
McLyman, first assistant attorney
general Of Rhode Island objected.
He said that if the case was not
presented to a federal grand jury
he would make every effort to
present it to a state irquisitcrial
body.
Quarrel at Hospital
Federal and State attorneys
also had words. in the Newport
Hospital, where Charles Travers,
surviving member of the Black
Ducks crew is a wounded priS-
oner. Neither Travers' attorney
nor, State officers were allowed to
see him. Counsel for Travers,
fearing danger of removal from
the Rhode Island jurisdiction to
the Coast Guard headquarters
here, prevailed upon Boss to seek
a warrant for Travers' arrest.
An inquest was ordered for
Thursday by Medical Examiner
Addison to be held in Newport.

Mrs. Hoover refused to let the
heavy cold from which she has
been suffering for several days
bother her last night, and Joined
her son in the Blue Room to
receive the guests.
Allan led his guests into the
East Room for the dancing with
Miss Caroline Hyde, daughter Of
the present Secretary Of Agricul-

Because nearly all Of those pres
ent had had other engagements
of long standing for the evening,
the White House affair was brief
to enable them to drop In else
where.
Assembling at 10 o'clock for
what might have been q formal
and Sedate evening, the guests,
according to general opinion found
themselves getting into the swing
Of q delightful party. It APP
pears that informality was the
keynote Of the evening.
Mrs. Hoover and her son stood
together in the East Room, which
had been cleared for dancing, to
receive the guests. The First
Lady wore gown of gray-blue
chiffon made on trailing lines,
and embroidered in q dull gold
figure. A yellow scarf was
draped attractively about her
shoulders.
Junior members Of the diplo-

At IL o'clock supper was served
at round tables in the State din
