WEST POINT CLASS
SETS NEW RECORD
Graduates List Large Group
of Second Lieutenants Over
Number Authorized.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSOClaJeu Press
Todays graduating class at West
Point breaks a record set by class
of many years ago.
Records at the War Department dis
close that not since some time before
the Spanish American War has class
contributed so extensive surplus OF
second lieutenants above the number
authorized and appropriated for by
Congress.
There was a small surplus last year,
but this years class gives the Army
IT'S above the number that Congress
has made provision for paying. A few
may be expected to resign from the
service shortly after graduation, but the
surplus will remain larger than in sew
eral decades.
Salaries to be Authorized.
When appropriations are made for the
next fiscal year the salaries of the
surplus officers will be included. Until
then they will be paid from funds ac-
cumulated throughout the year to meet
just such contingencies.
During the past five years there have
been total of as designations among
1,160 graduates. Fully rs per cent of
the designations after graduation are
for personal reasons, most Of the resign
ing officers finding more lucrative posts
to its lowest-grade officers.
Sports Problem Discussed.
The recent controversy, brought about
mainly by charges on the floor of Con-
gresS concerning athletics at the
academy, has resulted in some specu-
lation in service circles here as tu the
possible number of foot ball players
who will be included this year among
those who will resign. Records of the
past five years, however, show that OF
As men who resigned only two had re-
ceived foot ball letters and had become
known as stars"
Some of those who resign desire to
pursue special studies-medicine, engi-
neering or other professional lines
after graduation. A few frankly declare
they have no desire to follow military
careers. BY far the largest number
however, indicate their desire TO &C.
cept more attractive salaries than those
obtaining in the service.

Bishop Cannon's
Statement
Tert of Prepared Matter En-
planning Conduct Before
Lobby Committee.

BY the Associated Press.
The statement read to the Senate
lobby committee today by Bishop James
Cannon, Jr., was as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and members of the
committee:
Il desire to say that, when with
drew from the hearing on Thursday
May S, made statement, the purpose
Of which was to indicate that was not
on the stand any longer as voluntary
witness, and stated that should re-
tire from further hearings of the COM
mittee unless a subpoena was issued.
Il thought that, as had volunteered
to appear before the committee to give
information concerning the activities OF
the Board of Temperance and Social
Service of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, that I had the right tc
retire If I so desired unless a subpoena
was issued.
Furthermore, as there never had
been quorum of the committee present
and the objections which I had raised
to questioning me concerning my politi-
cal activities had never been passed
upon by the committee, thought it was
unfair and illegal to continue to ques-
ton me on my political activities until
answer had been given to my objections
In taking this action it never oc-
CURED to me that I would be charged
with showing contempt for the Senate
for I certainly had no such intention
but understand from statements in
the press that some members of the
committee consider that my action was
in open contempt of the Senate.
Whatever may be the real technical

now before the committee, as I did In
my statement to the press on Friday
night, I intended no discourtesy to the
Senate or the members of the Senate
committee by retiring as a voluntary
witness from the committee room or
Thursday morning. Certainly thought
I had the right to do so, in order that
there may be no implication of a pur-
pose which / did not intend.
LAS I have understood that a quorum
Of the committee will be present this
morning, I am here again today, If the
committee so desires, as a voluntary
witness, to give any additional infor'
nation concerning the activities Of the
Board of Temperance and Social Serv-
ice of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South.
Should any member Of the COM
mittee desire to ask questions concern
ing my political activities in the anti
Smith campaign, respectfully request
that a full committee consider my OBJ
jections which I raised to the answer
ing of such questions on Tuesday
morning, June 3 (see Record pages
l2I32-3D and Wednesday morning
June 4 (see Record page 12l78), which
objections clearly set forth my position
on the questions at issue, and why
I refused to answer"

fog she was going at half speed.
THE crew acted fine, and there was

declared. "Oil spread around the yes

of the tanker. One boat was still
searching when we left the scene.

other than that from the Gloucester be-
cause after the first happenings there

The head of the Gamma Eta Gamma

ports that Jonas NJ. Smith, Washington

nections in his prohibition activities.
Within a few weeks of his appoint

more daily. He was appointed a pro-
hibition agent February 8, 1929.

have used the national Office he held
as a means of introduction to one of
the fraternity men on March 9. Sub
sequently. according to the protests filed
later by the local group, the two went
to a speakeasy at Smiths suggestion.
The following day the place was raided,
and later Smith was said to have told
members of the Baltimore unit that he
caused the raid.
On the day of the raid Smith was
said to have been taken to another
speakeasy by another member. After
the pair had left those who operated it
surmised that something was wrong
and closed.
Members Become Suspicious.
Some members of the Omicron
Chapter were said to have become
suspicious, but nothing was done and
on March IL Smith was the principal
speaker at a banquet given by the chap
ter. He used as his topic 'Fratern-
alism"
Mr.. Cantrel said this morning that
Smith retained his membership in the
fraternity although he had resigned as

Such is the story Of Seaman j.

This tale of heroism was told

hurled into the air and landed
across a deck rail, hanging limp
and unconscious.
Slowly her body Sagged toward
burning oil that covered the sea.
Heat and flames played about
her. Just as her weight drew her
downward, Walker ran to her. He
threw his arms about her legs in
a foot ball tackle. Her weight was
too much and slowly the two slid
over the rail.
