Washington, June 2S RHA bill lion dollar, 10 year tob-the build ing of | second canal to link the At- lantic and Pacinc oceans through Nicaragua-looms as the next tre- mendous engineering task for Uncle Sam's government.
 With congressional approval of tho project. President Hoover was empowered to take the preliminary steps for the huge engineering feat with the appointment of joint army-civilian commission of engi- neers to make a survey.
 The chief executive advocated the canal in his conferences with the presidents of Nicaragua and Costa Rica during his South American good will tour.
 The Nicaragua canal will be 1S3 miles long, three times the length of the Panama waterway. Com. pared to the 50 mile length of the Panama canal. the proposed Mica raGua route is 113 miles by land and 70 miles through Lake Nicaragua.
 However. the water supply on the Nicaraguan route is much greater than that of the Panama canal, which, the engineers believe. will mean that fewer impounding locks and works will have to be con- structed.
 Lake Nicaragua has a watershed of 12.450 square miles as compared to 1920 square miles of Gatun lake. the chief body of water on the Pa mama canal. .
 The Nicaraguan route would start at the Atlantic end at Greytown and run along the San Juan river, which is 50 miles long, to Lake Nicaragua.
 It would pass 70 miles across tho lake and then the engineers would encounter their most difficult prob lem-piercinE the Cordillera noun. tains of the continental divide for some 70 miles with waterway deep enough to carry the largest steam CTS. The Pacific ocean would be reached at the harbor of Brite
 The commission is expected to start its survey next September. and while it can travel by boat along the San Juan river and across Lake Nicaragua, it will strike an almost impenetrshle jungle for tho last stretch over the mountains to tho Pacific. The marine corps. how ever, probably will fly commissioners

Chicago. June 25 R>-Most of the time the gold coast forgets the ghetto. but sometimes it remem- bers, and then 1t does something fine for its eant- breeding brother.
 Because he remembered, L. l.. Valentine, one of the many mil- lionaires who 1.-Two with crisp Lake Michigan before them and the fetid slums at their backs, is going to give his life and his millions to Chicago's boys.
 Down in La Ealle street. among the big banks and brokerage of fees. hA has opened an office to direct his philanthropies in person, through the Chicago Boys club.
 He hasn't any children of his own. this 64 year old wholesale dealer in boyhood. who started life in a little Illinois town. the son of an immigrant cabinet-maker, and rose to head a great furniture con- cern
 "I've always liked youngsters. and they like me-" he says Per haps that's why I've taken this way of disposinE of my money, instead of something in stone.
 Mrs. Valentine and l have dis cussed the matter thoroughly. and we have decided that since we made our wealth in Chicago we should give it back there. We know of no better way than of seeking to make its future secure by build ing manhood in tho present. What better monument could any man ask?
 "These boys in congested dis tricts-often the only playground for hundreds is a single vacant lot. Is it any wonder they grow up to become gangsters?
 ''It isn't enough to give only money. There must be an invest ment of personal interest, as~well. I have opened this office for that purpose and I expect to be every bit as busy and get just as much pleasure out of serving boys as l ever did in business"
 Valentine started in his new iob with an initial gift of t350,000 for the first 25 club buildings which the organization plans for congest. cd districts, part of an Ss.000, 900 campaign aimed to serve 50,000 boys.

DAWES DRY MOVE
 ALTERS ATTITUDE
Diplomats Allowed to Serve h.
 toliCanS Under Statute

Washington. June 25 LP - on cials of the state department said today that any action Ambassador Dawes or any other American diplomat abroad might take to dry up his embassy was entirely within his own discretion.
 The question of serving intoXicat- ing beverages in American missions in foreign countries has long been a debated one and many letters of inquiry have been received at the state department from dry law ad- vocates on the subject.
 Hughes Ruled "Yes'
 Charles Evans Hughes. when secretary of state, stated in a let ter to . United States senator that he considered the privilege of li- quors being served in American missions abroad to be one within the rights of the diplomats.
 Mir. Hughes argued that the Vol stead act did not prohibit the use of intoxicating liquors legally ac- quired. Since the liquors which are served in American embassies and legations are legally acquired. their use. he contended, could not right fully be prohibited by this govern ment.
 The state department in respond ing to letters from private individ- uals since that time has followed a similar trend. The department also has pointed 10 the case of the Cunard Steamship Co.,. Ltd. vs. Mellon in 1923 in which the su- preme court of the United States held that the term territory" in the phrase of the dry act meant 'the>regional areas-of land and adjacent waters over which the United States claims and exercises dominion and control as a sovereign power"
 Believes Question Answered The department has believed this ruling and subsequent rulings ap- peared to dispose of the question of applying the dry measures beyond the territorial limits of the United States.
 No information on the subject has been received by the depart ment from Mir Dawes So far as is known here officially, this would be the first instance in which an American diplomat abroad had de- cided to not serve any intoxicating beverages iR his mission. It was emphasized, however. that some diplomats might have foregone their privilege without having made public announcement of their action.

FRIENDS CONFIDENT
 MACINTOSH RIGHT.
Adhersnk Of Yue Professor
 Hope to Win on Apped

New Haven, June .5 @1Adher- ents of Prof. Douglas c. Macintosh. Dwight professor of theology in the Yale divinity school. said today they felt assured hs would be admitted ts citizenship by either the U. 8. cir cult court of appeals or the supreme court despite his unwillingness to take an oath that would make him defend the country in other than 'just wars"
 Confident Of Victory
 Dean Charles E. Clark of the Yale Law school. who appeared for the professor before Federal Judge War ren B. Burrows here yesterday and Prof. Jeremiah Davis of the Divinity school, who was a character witness for Prof. Macintosh. both said that the, appeal from Judge Burrows de- cision denying Prof. Macintosh citt- zenship would be taken with the expectation of winning"
 Their implication was that the motive of appeal was not to make a test case of the matter.
 Dean Clark said full emphasis would bs laid on the difference be- tween the views of Prof. Macintosh and Madame Rosila Schwimmer. who was recently denied citizenship by tho supreme court.
 Woman Is Pacihst
 Madame Schwimmer is an avow- ed pacifist," said Dean Clark. and is active in advocating her doctrine. whereas Prof. Macintosh is neither . pacinst, as evidenced by hts war record with two nations. nor an ac- tive disseminator of pacifist opin- ion. His stand is purely matter of conscience"
 Prof. Davis said that Prof. Mac Intosh's position is virtually that of the Kellogg peace pact and that, in effect, Dr. Macfntosh says that in case of another war. which violated the terms of the Kellogg pact, he would refuse to bear arms.

 Although the Panama canal is 1S3 miles shorter from ocean to ocean, it is estimated that there would be a great saving in time for much inter-oceanic commerce in passing through the Nicaraguan water way because it is on more direct lines of sea travel.
 Through a treaty ratified February IS. 1916, Nicaragua granted the United States the right to construct the canal and the Central American republic was to receive $3,000,00
