Afghanistan Changes
 To Less Sonber Flag

Calcutta. Bengal, July Il LP- Because its old flag too often was taken as a sign of mourning, Af- shanistan has new flag, on which are three perpendicular stripes of black, red, and white, with the crescent of a mosque in the center.
 The old flag was black square in the center Of which shone white crescent. Diplomats and foreign office officials complained that citizens of other nations in yariably raised their hats when passing nearby believing it in- dicated a funeral
 The touch Of black in the new flag is meant 10 convey the idea that Afghanistan for ages was held in the grip of darkness. The bright red band denotes the rev olguon into which the country Nas plunged after having emerg- ai from tho darkness, while the white stands for peace and pros perity Of the nation, The mosque m the center is designed to show that Afghanistan has achieved its present peace through the grace Of God and shall remain under the shadow Of Islam forever

Swaps Five Chinese for One American StOwaway

New York, July II Pl-Is one hungry American' the equal of five hungry Chinese?
 On that depends whether Cap- tain George Fried of the United States liner America or Captain A. B. Randall of the George Washington came out ahead in a little swap they effected in mid Atlantic.
 Shortly after leaving Hamburg for New York. Captain Randall discovered he was harboring five extremely hungry Chinese stow aways, while about the same time Captain Fried learned he had an equally hungry otowaway in the person of Anil G. Olsen, 23 years of Dubois, Pa, who had hidden aboard the ship in New York with the hope of getting to Havre.
 AS the two ships passed in mid Atlantic, the captains via wireless, got talking things over, as Cap tains do, and each learned of the others unlocked passengers. Captain Randall suggested a swap, and computing the price of rice and beef, Captain Fried took him up on it. The transfer was made, but the winner in the deal has not been announced.

HOONer Studies ReaueSt

Washington, July II pt-Presl- dent Hoover today studied the problem of a renewed request that he deliver to the senate confidential documents on the negotiations of the London naval treaty which he had previously declined to produce.
 Meanwhile. the senate settled down to debate on the pact itself, with Chairman Hale of the naval committee ready to deliver a lengthy address in opposition to ratification.
 The request for the documents, understood to consist of messages exchanged between the state depart ment and Ambassador Dawes before the London conference, came to the president In the form of senate resolution, which was approved late yesterday.
 It asked MT. Hoover to submit the papers if he considered such a course mot incompatible with the public interest" and suggested he recommend the manner in which they should be considered by the senate-whether conhdentially or in open session.
 The measure was proposed by Senator McKellar. democrat, Ten nessee, an opponent of the treaty. but before it was adopted two amendments were inserted, the ap- proval of one of which was con- sidered victory for the administra- ton.
 This inserted the clause If not incompatible with the public in terest" The other made provision for possible recommendations from the chief executive on the question of holding the papers confidential in the event he saw fit to produce them.
 Opinion was divided In the senate as to what MT. Hoover's course would be. Some believed he would stand by his position that publica- ton Of the documents would en- danger future international negotia- tions of delicate nature. Others thought he would submit the docu ments but adjure the senate to secrecy.
 The amendment giving the presi- dent the privilege of withholding the papers if he saw fit, was proposed by Senator Robinson, the demo- cratic leader, who served with the American delegation at London. It was approved by a vote of 3S 10 IT.. | Vote of 5 to 1 The vote on final adoption Of the resolution was 5 to 4 Those op- rosing 1t were Black Of Alabama, Copeland of New York and George and Harris of Georgia. all demo- crats. They objected to it because of the Robinson amendment and said they believed the senate and not the president should be the judge Of whether the documents should be held in confidence. Because of the lateness of the hour when the vote was reached Hale postponed the delivery of his address until today. saying he pre- ferred that 1t be given as whole 1 rather than in two sections. He had been expected to be the l first to speak against the treaty. but in the course of the debate on the McKellar resolution. Copeland as- sailed the pact as failing to give America parity with Great Britain and also as failing to provide any relief for American taxpayers.

BUYS NEW RADIO, FINDS IT IS JUNK
New Britain Man SWindld by
 Sharpers Touring State

Two men in a truck bearing a New York registration have been swindling the public about Connec- ticut for the past few days on a radio deal, according to complaints to the Bridgeport police. who warn ed other departments to be on the lookout.
 This noon, Chief Hart received ii- formation that at least one local person paid s20 to the men for a radio. which was carefully wrapped in a carton, giving it the appearance of new set. After paying the mon- ey. the customer examined the pur chase and found 1t to be junk.
 Officer W. S. Strolls brought two men to police headquarters this aft ernoon for questioning, and they were released after satisfying the police that they were not the swind- lers. They were in Bridgeport and New Haven yesterday, they said, selling electrical fixtures, and had been in New Britain about an hour before Officer strolls met them. They had New York registered truck somewhat similar to the one the radio fakirs were driving.

after long days work, their hands slipped at the grip and their vision was handicapped by beads of per spiration.
 But for a few natural puts that refused to go down, Bobby might have been in the sixties yesterday. He snared 14 pars, went over par on but one hole and more than made up for that fault with two birdies. It was typical Jones start.
 Armour and Mac Smith lost their opportunities for a lower score on the first nine, which seemed the easier for most of the field. Each took a 37. one over par.
 Smith Loses Chance
 Smith threw away his chance for q 69 on the final green by timidity He needed a far four to lead, but was short all the way and took five. Driving and putting gave Cox his score, but he tossed away the ad- vantage of three birdies with two bad holes on the way home. He went out in 34, two under par, and came home in 37, one over par.
 Hagen fell apart going out and took a 38. On the way home he col lected his usual assortment of birdies for 34 and grabbed total of 7z.
 Horton Smith played two under par out and two over back. He putted consistently for birdies, but they refused to drop. His drives pulled too.
 AS only four broke par and five tied it. indications today were that the winning total would be higher than earlier calculations. Some were guessing as high at 296.

ter"
 Hale said stimson "ells us" that the criticisms of naval officers should not prevail against the treaty because they are fighting men,"
 Understand Problems
 "They are fighting men," he con- tinued, They understand the prob lens of war, and they realize that what the secretary of state calls the preventive measures of international relations which are intended to make war less likely, may or may not operate successfully.
 The navy does not desire to pre- vent such measures, but it does wish to provide, in case such measures do not operate successfully when war come. that the national defense shall not be threatened.
 "The trouble with the secretary of state is that he goes ahead against the experience of history in the blind belief and confidence that the not fail and he sees no necessity for. adequate provisions for the national defense in case of failure, because he can see no possibility of failure. With him the security of an inter- national agreement is wholly impor tant."
 While Hale directed this attack at the secretary of state, Mir. Stimson was at the capitol conferring with Reed of Pennsylvania, members of the delegation.
