the radio his new treatment. developed
at the University Of Michigan, for per-

"Since then" the doctor said, II have
received hundreds of inquiries asking
where in the world got all the ground
hogs, whether there is any chance OF
hiring out as a grounding catcher, and
so on"
The professor meant that stomachs
taken from porkers are ground and used

PHILADELPHIA, September u.s.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Altemus, widely
known horsewoman of this city, and
John Hay Whitney, New York sports
man, polo player an dheir to the $780,
000,0 fortune left by his father. the
late Payne Whitney, are to be married
here today.
The wedding is to take place at 4
pm, in the Church of st. James the
Less, at Falls of Schuylkill. Only men,
bers of the immediate families will be
present.
He Is 26; She "a.
The marriage license was issued yes
terday. Mr.. Whitney gave his occupa-
ton as banker and his age as IS, Miss
Altemus is "a and the daughter of Mrs.
Bessie Dobson Altemus Eastman.
Miss Altemus has won many prizes at
horse shows and few seasons ago
starred as a woman polo player At
the Devon Horse Show last May she
rode three of MI. Whitney's horses.
Worked as Buzzer Boy.
MIR. Whitney is graduate of Yale
and was an undergraduate student at
Oxford, England, when his father died
in 1927 He received considerable at
tention early this year when it was
revealed that he had been working for
several months as a "buzzer boy for
New York banking firm at q salary
of slightly less than $40 week.

plates replacement of 1913 leases. while
another 103 would be done away with as
rapidly as possible. Seventy EIGHT sta
tions and branches and II garage build
ings would be purchased Immediately as
they stand for approximately $2l 300 600.
Their valuation was given as $40 ,O60, 99S
and the annual rental 50, 1871. The
annual saving, computed over 20 years.
was placed at $650,000.
Construction of new buildings would
replace 106 other structures on which
leases expire within i've years. The
cost would be about $21 100000 and the
saving proportionate to that seen in the
purchase plan. The remaining leases
which do not expire by 1895 would be
replaced later at cost of $30,000,00
Taking cognizance of the administra-
TONS desire to limit current appropri-
ations, Brown expressed conviction that
the savings to result would amply
justify the outlay. The five-year pro-
gram distribution recommended follows
1881, $10,350 900; 1882, s14.650,0o0
1888, $8,750,000; 1884, $4,000, 900, and
1885, $500 900.

COMMUNIST JEWS FAIL
IN FIGHT ON RELIGION
synagogues Are Crowded on Days
Stipulated for Parade of Anti
Religious Faction.

MOSCOW, September 25.-The Jewish
Telegrapl1ic Agency reports that the
anti-religious campaign of Jewish Com
munists passed unnoticed on both Rosh
Hashanah days. during which the
synagogues in Moscow and in other
parts of Russia were crowded An anti
religious march which the Communists
proclaimed for Rosh Hashanah was
negligible in Moscow as well as in the
provinces.
Our cultural brigades slept instead
of marching" reports the Yiddisll Com
munist daily. Der Shtern. The Zines,
another Yiddish Communist paper, also
admits that the march was a failure.
but called on the, Jewish Communists to
prepare a successful anti-religious
demonstration for Yom Kippur.
The Zines urges each Jewish worker,
employe and artisan to work on Yom
Kippur and to contribute his earnings
of that day for the building of a
dirigible, Pravada, funds for which now
are being collected all over Russia.

BROWN PROPOSES
5yEAR P. 0. PLAN
Early Congress Considera-

Now Assured.

BY the Assoc ated Press
Early congressional consideration was
assured today for the hundreds of Post
Office Building leases whose replacement
through a Government purchase and
constructions program was recommended
by Postmaster General Brown yester-
day in report to President Hoover.
First, the Senate Committee named
early in Simmer to inquire into the
nature of these leases, will get to work,
probably WITHIN 10 days, on its hearings.
Second, representative Kelly, Repub-
lican, Pennsylvania, member of the
House Post Cffice Committee, announced
he would iAtroduce the legislation to
carry out che Postmaster Generals
recommendation for a five-year pro-
gram costing $43, 900 to replace some
of the buildings.

to the charges made at the time the
Senate ordered its inquiry, anticipating
the hearings about to get started. He
took up in particular the st. Paul COM
mercial station, which drew IRE IN both
the Senate and House last session.
Brown defended contracts made with
professional bidders, but said there had
been cases where bond issues f1oated by
the lessons had exceeded the fair VAL
uation of the properties, and added it
was eases like these which have been
responsible for the criticism which has
in recent months been directed at the
entire leasing policy"
The fact seems to be-" he said,
that If criticism may properly be
leveled at any phase of this transac-
ton It goes to the lessons financing
methods, not to the terms of the con-
tract between the lessor and the Gov
eminent"

commercial station lease at st. Paul as

The authoress visited this Sec

her to such an extent that she
decided to use this section as a

COUNTY SEEKS
MEXICAN AID
ON RIO FLOOD
Is Asked
To Finance Water
Commission

Seeking further cooperation with
the Mexican government in con-
trolling the flood waters OF the Rio
Grande, the Cameron county COM
missioners today are forwarding to
Washington a petition asking the
State Department to instruct the
water commission TO make a study
Of and a report on flood control
and to properly finance that body.
The Valley has a member, w. Z.
Anderson Of San Benito on that
commission. and while its purpose
is primarily the division Of the
waters. 1t is now being asked to
bring about further cooperation In
handling the river rises in the
lower end of the Valley.
This was not occasioned by the
flood stage Of the past few days,
but dates back to larger rises. 1t
was. said. Because Of International
laws matters of this nature cannot
be decided by communities or
states. the resolution states. SO as
sistance is being asked in action
from the two governments.
Foorways have been constructed
on the American side of the river
and a number On the Mexican side.
One object now especially sought
is that during a rise both sides OF
the river work together In opening
the flood ways SO that neither side
shall suffer.
AT one time the idea OF dissolving
the committee was advanced, but
upon resolutions from the Browns
vile Chamber Of Commerce ii was
continued. and on recommendation
of r. B. Creager Mr.. Anderson was
made a member after serving as
an engineer.
BY proper conservation Of the
waters coming down the river and
cooperation in handling facilities
already established for flood con
troll OF the lower end. 1t Is held
that the Valley will never suffer
from too little or an over supply OF
water from the river.
