L0NGWORTH EXPECTS
GAINS BY DEMOCRATS
Speaker Predicts, However, House
Of Representatives, Will Remain
Under Republican Control.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY AHSUVIdttU
CLEVELAND. Ohio, October A.
Nicholas Longworth. of Cincinnati,
sneaker of the House of Representatives,
said here last night that the Democrats
would make some gains in his branch
of the Congress but that the Republic
ans would retain control.
Normal Democratic districts that
went Republican in the Hoover land
slide of 1928 are likely to return to the
Democratic fold as a natural reaction,
he said, but the outlook is not for
sweeping Democratic gains in normally
Republican territory.
Prohibition, he said, has become a
major issue in many congressional
races.
Ohio was described by the speaker,
who is a Republican, as safely Re-
publican" He said he had no reason
to worry as to his own reelection.

ROSWELL, N. Mex, october

desert ranch of Joe j. Lane was not as
gentle as rains should be and Lane,
looking aloft, saw catfish pouring down
from the skies.
THE rain of fish continued for some
little time" says Lane. and he and his
wife gathered about 100 pounds from
an acre Of ground. About 100 Of the
fish were still alive.
The nearest water tank is miles

but he has photographs of the fish to
prove they were.

GRADE AS MEASURING STICK
FOR ARMY PAY is OPPOSED
Officers of Lower Rank Expect to Combat
Proposal in Hearings Before Joint
Congressional Committee.

less service than the head, will be but
majors, while the fortunate ones on the
crest are two grades higher, or full
colonies.
This is the situation which was Wis
ualized to some extent by the trainers
OF the 1922 pay act, which is largely
based on length of service, irrespective
OF grade, but which has been ignored
by the authors Of the. proposed pay
schedule, who make grade the control
ling factor in pay determination, with
out any provisions to lessen the hard
ships of the service differences just
noted above"
Citing concrete examples of how the
present law works with respect to this
group, the officer pointed out that over
period Of years from 1881 to 1947,
of two years difference in service, a
typical officer at the top of the group
would receive about $500 more than
one in the middle and about $l5,500
more than one at the bottom, while
one in the middle would receive about
$4,000 more than one in the bottom
group.
Promotion Prospects Decide Difference.
"Tt is at once apparent" this officer
declared, that the real differences be-
tween these typical officers is in promo
ton prospects"
Under the proposed pay schedule he
pointed out that, with pay years av-
eraged as before over this same period,
the same typical officer at the top of
the group would receive about $4,000
more than one in the middle and about
$40,500 more than one at the bottom;
while the typical middle-group officer
would receive about $12,500 more than
the one in the bottom group used in
this example.
"Or. to put 1t another way" he con-
tinued. under the proposed pay prin-
ciples the typical officer at the top of
the group capitalizes on his present ia
vored promotion status and is increased
more than four times over the middle
officer and more than two and one-half
times over the officer in the lower part
of the group.
This is believed to be one Of the
problems which the joint congressional
pay committee will be called upon to
solve, bearing in mind that 1t is peculiar
to but one of the services, the Army,
and Is not, therefore. intended as an
argument against the general propriety
and soundnesS of the Interdepartmental
Pay Boards recommendations"

ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, March 10.
"A legal contest over the estate of Ar
thur Mandy. whose decapitated body
was found In his home at Taos, N. Mex,
last July, was ended suddenly yesterday
when Miss Terecita Ferguson and J. H.
Crist, officials of the Colonial Bond &
Security Co., agreed to allow in full the
claim of DR.. Victor C. Thorne of New
York City.
DR.. Thorne will receive a Federal
principal and interest. Counsel agreed
that the Mandy property will not be
sold prior to January IL, 1881.
CriSt, also an attorney, told Federal
Judge Neble that the legal contest was
brought principally to delay settlement
until a good price could be obtained for
the property.
The estate was valued by Mandy, 30
year-old Englishman, before his death,
at $4,000. After DR.. Thorne has been
paid, the balance received at masters
sale will revert to the Colonial Co,
which holds the present title to the
property, Crist said. Mandy organized
thu Colonial Co.

black haired woman whom Mandy re-
ferred to as his Princess Terecita" dur

declined to discuss the criminal charges
of willful possession of stolen property
which are pending against her in con-
nection with the finding in her home OF
goods alleged to have been stolen from
the Taos studio home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Younghunter of New York.
Manbys mysterious death is now be-
ing investigated by the United States
Department of Justice at the request OF

Catherine Booth of the Salvation Army,
daughter of the late Gen. Bramwell
Booth, will leave the army, but not
voluntarily, to write the biography OF
her father, Mrs. Bramwell Booth, the
generals widow. declared today.
Mrs. Booth said that her daughter
wished to continue her work and write
the book also, but that Gen. Higgins.
new commander of the army, had de-
cided that she could not do both.
at and my daughter are distressed
that Gen. Higgins has insisted upon her
giving up her work as leader OF won1-
ans social work of the army because
she wishes to write her fathers life
story" Mrs. Booth said.
"As an officer she informed him that
she wished to write the biography. To
our amazement he told her to choose
between her work and writing OF the
life. If she insisted on writing the
biography she must relinquish her work.
The announcement puts us in the wrong
light and we are in great sorrow"
Mrs. Booth added that her daughter
had decided to write the life and to
say farewell to some of the institutions
with which she has been connected.
The Salvation Army War Cry yesterday
announced that she would take a years
leave of absence.
Salvation Army international head
quarters declined to comment on Mrs.
Booths statement.

NEW BRITISH AMBASSADOR FIRST
SERVED IN CAPITAL Is YEARS AGO
Sir Ronald Lindsay Held Sec
ond Secretary Post at
Embassy in 1907.
Returned to Washington
Again in 1919 for Years
Stay as Counselor.
BY GRETCHEN s. SMITH.

The arrival of the new British
Ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsay with
Lady Lindsay. in New York on March
10, will bring an old friend to
Washington. Sir Ronald first came to
this country in an official capacity rs
years ago, when he served as second
secretary at the British embassy. He
was in Washington for two years in
that position, leaving here in 1907 for
duty in Paris.
In 1919, Sir Ronald returned to
Washington, serving for one year as
counselor at the British embassy.
Although it had originally been hoped
that the new embassy on Massachusetts
avenue would be finished before the de-
parture of Sir ESme Howard from this
country, 1t is not expected at present
TO have the embassy's new home finished
before the end of April or the first
part of May.
Although Lady Lindsay is a native
daughter of New York, having been
Miss Elizabeth Sherman Hoyt of that
city before her marriage in 1904, she
apparently is not contemplating staying
there for any length of time after her
arrival, as word has been received at
the embassy here that the new Ambas-
sador and Lady Lindsay will come di-
rectly to Washington upon the landing
of the AQuitania in New York. Ar
rangementS have been made for the
Ambassador, Lady Lindsay and Lady
Lindsay's secretary, Miss Boyle, to stay
at the Mayfiower Hotel until the new
embassy is ready for occupancy.
Sir Ronald will continue to use for
official business the Offices and study
of Sir Esme Howard In the old British
embassy on Connecticut avenue until
he moves to his new home on Massa-
chusetts avenue.
The British embassy will lose another
member of its staff in the departure of
the air attache, Wing Comdr. Hether-
ington, who will be succeeded about
the 25th of this month by Wing Comdr.

A Victorious Battle, Sensibly Fought

N the Rivers and Harbors Bill just passed by Con-
| gress, the Northwest has won notable double vic
tory. Formal authorization of the nne-foot Upper
Mississippi channel had been kept out of the measure
that originally passed the House. An entering wedge
for the substitution of the New York Barge Canal for
the ST. Lawrence route in the Great Lakes Seaway
program had been included in the measure that
originally passed the House.
But the that finally has passed the Senate
and has ridden safely through conference, includes
authorization of, and S7,5000OO preliminary appro-
priation for the ninefoot Upper Mississippi channel
And it definitely commits Congress the ST. Lawrence
route and against the called Gall American route
for the Seaway.
How did the Northwest win this double victory? 1t
by convincing sufficient number of Senators and
Representatives of the justice of its cause. 1t
because Senator Shipstead, who ably managed its
waterway interests in the Senate used reason nteli-
and sound parliamentary tactics instead of bay
hoo 1t because the Upper Valley States and the
Western Great Lakes States put up a united front;
because their Senators stayed the main track and
did not with single exception detour into the camps
of strange leaders bent more wrecking Republican
Administration than getting justice for any section
of the Country
The Northwest its fight, because it did not
demand of Congress, Build channel, but build nc
other channels 1t won, because it did insist that
channel in the Upper River, also fill existing chan
nels that might serve competing regions.
The Northwest won Mississippi River victory ant

Racket" Politics Not for Chase

I N these days of keynote speeches, political pledges
and intensive campaigns it is rather refreshing to
have elected to high public office who
does not indulge in practices inclined to sink poll
tics in the level to which prize fight game has
recently sunk. Ray p Chase, forcefu stately APP
pearing man. conducted such commendabe campaign
to away from the field in his for the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor of Minnesota in our
recent primaries
Chase, state auditor, comes from Anoka,
small town the Twin Cities where he has lived
all his life He has been in public life for years, hav
ing been deputy state auditor before stepping into the
auditors office about nine years ago. He decided to
for governor only after Christensen had announc
ed his intentions of being candidate for the United
States senate.
Opening his campaign this spring, Chase did not
snort and fume and up and down the state in
the seemingly approved manner Rather, he chose to
speak before conventions, graduation exercises pic
mics and other such affairs Over the radio he dis
cussed taxes and highways, not mentioning his
opponents, let alone indulge in mud-slingng. Mrs.
Chase, perhaps, her husbands greatest aid in his
campaign. She alone wrote over $500 personal let
tiers to friends of the auditor about the state.
With few of the type of Ray P.
Chase politics might be saved from the racket class
ifcation towards which it is rapidly drifting.
