Pensions and compensation are

Government to pensions on the basis
of the compensation rates now in
existence. Furthermore, it was not
convinced that the situation calls
for resorting to the makeshift device

Roosevelt Aids Crippled Girl to Seek
Cure He Found at Georgia Springs
va Serrice

BIZ MA Serrtce
AEEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. g.
NI Juanita Cawthon, 10, may
walk again and enjoy all that life
promised when she was a
healthy, carefree high school girl
because Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York knows
what it is to be afflicted with
infantile paralysis.
Although Governor Roosevelt
does not know Juanita-never
has seen her-it is largely be-
cause of his cooperation and
sympathy that she will be able
to enter the sanitarium he
founded at Warm Springs, Ga.
This is the place where tine
Governor was treated several
years ago with such beneficial
results that he now can walk
merely with the aid of leg braces.
Treatment consists of carefully
directed muscle exercise in the
warm water that flows from the
spring all year round.
1.-THE Governor has made it
possible for us to finance the trip
and treatment" says Juanitas
mother. "He has been very
kind"
Juanita's father, a railroad car
inspector, had exhausted his saw
ings in an effort to restore his
daughter to health. 1t was after
his futile efforts that Governor
Roosevelt heard about the case.
Juanita, getting ready for
graduation from high school, was
stricken suddenly with infantile
paralysis eighteen months ago.
She never has walked since.
But, despite her affection, she
has become known in Memphis
as the sunshine girl" because of
her ever cheerful disposition,
despite the fearful prospect of
being lifelong cripple.
I'm just so thrilled over going
to Warm Springs and the hope
it offers that I don't know what
to do" she says. "Oh, everybody
has been so wonderful to me
people who don't even know me.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 9.-Police
announced today that a fingerprint
on the knife with which Mrs. Mel
son c. BowleS was killed twenty
eight days ago had been established
as that of her husband, millionaire
son of wartime shipbuilder.
The impression, so blurred that
prints of at least two dozen per-
sons believed closely and remotely
connected with the death we're ia
ken, was identified by Sydney Paine,
Bertillon expert of the police bu-
reau, as that of the little finger Of
Bowles' right hand.
This was considered by Harvey A.

Frank Baer, for whom the munic-

dead as a result of a crash of his
plane on a mail route between

COMMUNITY HOUSE FEE
SYSTEM is UNDER FIRE
Organizations Voice Wrath
Over High Prices Asked
by Park Board.

Wave of protest against the park
board and recreation officials for
charging high fees for civic organ
ization business meetings in COM
munity houses, mounted today.
A resolution scoring the rates, eff
fected with the support of David B.
Kilgore, recreation director, was
adopted by the Brookside Commu-
nifty Civic League Monday night.
The original protest was revealed
by The Times and had its source
among the membership of the En-
terprise Civic League, using the
Rhodius park community house.
The board is probing the matter
informally and is expected to act
Thursday afternoon. If the board
does not act voluntarily members of
protesting leagues are expected to
bring the discussion before it.
Another shot in the fight is ex-
pected to be fired by local clubs de-
string to present charity affairs at
community's houses. The fees
charged for use of the structure for
cha .ty dances and socials are pro-
hibitive, they say.
In one instance, a club desired
to use the Municipal gardens for a.
charity dance to which admittance
fee ~ be a basket of food for
the poor The promoters did not
want TO pay the rate of $3.50 Tor
the first two hours.
Thursday, after the club repi
sentatives appeared before tt
board, Kilgore recommended a new
schedule charging $25 for a dance
at the Gardens community house,
when no paid admission is charged.

WASHINGTON, Dec. O. Pro-
poSals for income tax increase have
added another to the series of is
sues dividing both parties in the
short session of congress. but Demo-
crat and Republican leaders are
standing fast against insurgents,
and apparently will be able to
thwart them.
In the disputes are seeds of re-
bellion against Senator Joseph
Robinson, minority leader, and SEN
ator James f. Watson, majority
leader, who see no reason for rais-
ing taxes now.
Watson reflects RobinSon'S opin-
ion that the deficit probably will be
small enough to be cared for by
issue of treasury certificates. Be-
meath the surface there are indi-
cations of even greater Republican
disapproval of Watson than Demo-
cratic dislike of the Arkansas sem
ator. Watson also opposes Presi-
dent Hoover on the world court
project.

Robinson, whose signature to the

and subsequent unpublished corre-
spondence on the subject with Pres
ident Hoover, irked some of his coll
leagues.
But there appears to be more
fancy than fact in reports that Rob-
inson's leadership is jeopardized
even remotely.
He was the first to go against
President Hoover on drought relief.
favoring $6O.000000 for that purpose
instead of the $25,000,000 asked by
the President.
Whatever Interpretation Mr..

cratic Republican harmony pledges,

have their own idea of what they
have undertaken.

publish their correspondence after

aroused Democratic protest is be
lieved to indicate Robinson and the
President would not read the lines
with the same infections and
emphasis.
Watson Sees Compromise
Majority Leader Watson believes
the two parties should accept Mr..
Hoovers relief proposals, which
Walsh Monday denounced as made
quate, as the basis for compromise
program.
Asked whether he thought the
Democrats should, as Walsh Sug-
geSted, bring in their own relief
program, Watson said
II see no necessity for that. We
have agreed to cooperate to this
extent, that we will take up the
Presidents program first and then,
working together, will draft pro-
graz representing, no doubt, COM

Under those circumstances, the
