HERBERT HOOVER, JR., FINISHES
WRITING JOB AT RICF1EY CAMP
Returns to Washington With
Radio Talks and Maya

Worked Fast in Solitude He
Failed to Find at the
White House.

Driven by the hustle and hustle of
his fathers home, the White House, TO
seek the tranquility he needed for the
writing of several radio talks and maya
zine articles, Herbert Hoover, jr., re-
turned to the White House today from
the fishing camp at Catoctin Furnace,
Md, his writing done.
Young Hoover, who Is vice PRESIDENT
Of the Western Air Express OF Los An
geles, earlier in the week tried to DO
the writing at the White House, but
found his fathers house not the place
for the sort of work he wanted to do.
Amid the tranquility Of the Richey
fishing camp, with only caretaker
about to attend to his personal wants,
young Hoover plunged into his writing
and got it out of his system in short
order. The work done, he Will soon
return to Los Angeles.
Herbert arrived at the White House
last Sunday. When word reached the
Presidents aide that the young man
wanted peace in which to do his writ
ing, the use of the camp was quickly
offered by Mr.. Richey and accepted by
the Presidents son.
Two days of complete solitude the
young man enjoyed. Yesterday MI.
Richey, with Delano Large, q nephew
of Mrs. Hoover, went up to the camp.

MAY BE BIGGER THAN EARTH.
Planet Discovery Is Second for
Mathematical Astronomy.

Planet Discovery Is Second for
Mathematical Astronomy.
Discovery of a new world, probably
larger than the earth, brought to
mathematical astronomy today its sec
ond achievement of the kind.
The new and nameleSS planet, whose
actual presence in transneptunian
space was first detected last February
10 by an acknowledging farmer boy
from Kansas, was heralded by an an
nouncement here yesterday by DR.. v.
M. Slipher Of the Lowell Observatory.
A strange "blotch of light" on q
Photographic negative, registered by an
extremely delicate instrument at the
observatory. led to the discovery, bring
ing the known number of major planets
in the solar system to nine.
The new body Is approximately As
times farther from the earth than the
sun, and Is Eat least no smaller than
the earth" Like Neptune, it cannot
be seen by the naked eye.
The task now remains to determine
its size, exact distance from the earth,
its orbit and other planetary character
iStics.
Two years before his death, DR.. Per-
cival Lowell, founder of the local OBJ
servatory, announced calculations on
the tranSneptunian planet, and, al
though he never had seen 1t, his COM
putations indicated that such a body
must exist.

waters of the Rapidan River, in the Blue
Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
1t is expected that within few weeks
the Chief Executive will resume his
week end visits to his camp on the Rap
idan, there to whip the streams and the
river for his favorite fish. The season
for taking trout begins April /, and 1t
is believed that the President will not
tarry much after that date in getting
out for the sport.
It is the Presidents intention to
establish a miniature hatchery at his
camp to augment the fish population
of the already well stocked streams that
form the headwaters of the Rapidan and
to stock also the streams nearby for
those who would fish outside his pre-
serve. He viii be assisted in the estab-
lishment of the hatchery by Henry

CHANGE IN AIRPORT
BILL is OFFERED
Bingham to Present Proposal De.
signed to Aid D. c. in
Financing Project.

A change in the municipal airport
bill designed to give the District tax
payers more leeway in paying back to
the Federal Treasury the $4,000, 900 to
be advanced by the United States to
establish the airport was announced
this afternoon by Senator Bingham Of
Connecticut, who will introduce the bill
this afternoon.
In the report it submitted to Con-
greSs recently, the joint congressional
Airport Commission recommended that
the loan be paid back in annual In
stallments of $250,000 each. Senator
Bingham said today the bill to carry
out the recommendations of the COM
mission has been modified to provide
that in case all of the money is not
spent at the outset, the reimbursementS
would be paid by the District as the
money is spent.
To illustrate the effect of the change,
SenatE Bingham said that If 81, 000, 900
of the total loan should not be spent
for four years, the District would not
begin to pay back that million dollars
until one year after it was used.
Stating it in another way, the Sen
ator said that all of the money spent
IN any fiscal year would be paid back
during the next IL years, the payments
beginning one year after the expendi-
lure and continuing for 10 years. Sem
ator Bingham declared this arrange
ment is fairer to the District than the
original recommendation of $250,OOO q
year for 10 years.
In all other respects, the bill to be
introduced this afternoon carries out
the plan as already announced by the
commission to establish the airport
near the south end of the Highway
Bridge by acquiring the two privately
owned fields and combined them with
the ground of the Department Of Ag-
riculture Experimental Farms, a por-
ton Of Columbia Island and the Mill.

yer Field and Washington Airport.

italian Crisis Holds Stage.
The Ffanco-Italian controversy over
parity now becomes the crucial issue At
London, now that the French drive for
five-poWer security guarantees has been
smashed. France, aided by Britain ana
America, will bring pressure to bear
on Italy now to produce some concrete
hgures on naval requirements, instead
of merely demanding parity with the
strongest continental navy.
The French never have concealed
that their 724,000-ton program was
made so high in the knowledge that 1t
would be economically impossible for
the Italians to build up to it. France
thinks that it might be possible to ap-
peaSe Italy by granting her parity in
the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic,
