ST|MSON URGES
DIPLOMATIC FUND
Secretary Hopes to Expand
State Department as Rap
idly as Possible.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Intent upon expanding the State De-
partYnent's internal organization and
the foreign service abroad as rapidly as
possible. Secretary Stimson again has
asked the Budget Bureau for an in
creased appropriation covering virtually
all phases of Americas diplomatic
activities.
Pending approval by the bureau and
President Hoover, the figures will not
be made public, but it is known the
Secretary has asked for the full au-
thorized fund of $4,000, 900 for the con-
struction of buildings to house Amert-
can missions abroad.
In line with President Hoover's policy
of reinforcing the American foreign
service in Latin America, the Secre-
tarys estimates include provision for
10 new foreign service officers at va
rious points In South and Central
America.
This would represent an increase of
10 per cent in the personnel in the
Latin American field. A request also
has been made for considerable in
crease in non-oficer personnel, such as
clerks and stenographers.
The estimates also include an addi-
tional $4,000 to be added to the Sat-
900 now contributed annually by the
United States to the support OF the
Pan-American Union.
Allowances now include funds to
cover expenditures for official receptions
and social or official entertainment In
missions abroad. For this purpose
$92, 900 was appropriated for the pres
ent year. This was the first time such
an appropriation was made, but has
been found far less than necessary to
cover the costs of functions, particu-
larry in the larger posts.
Tentative estimates for such impor-
tant posts as the embassy in Paris for
this purpose are $4,000 annually, but
1t has been pointed out that the single
reception on July 4 at that embassy
costs $4,000 alone.
At present all deficits for entertain
ing must be paid by the chief of the
mission, or, In individual instances, by
the personnel of the mission.
Wilbur j. Carr, Acting Secretary of
State, will begin his testimony to urge
the increase In next years budget when
the bureau holds hearings beginning
August 5.

CHARGES
VOTE THEFT PLOT
Atterbury Heads Attempt to
Take Governorship, He
Says in Dinner Speech.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa, July 25.-Ciif-
ford Pinchot, Republican nominee for
Governor in the face of the official re-
turns of the May primary, in a victory
dinner" speech here last night declared
w: w. Atterbury, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and Republican ma
tional committeeman, Is at the head of
a conspiracy" to steal the election of
a Governor.
Mr.. Pinchot spoke under auspices of
the Luzerne County Republican Com
mittee. He carried Luzerne County in
the primary by a plurality of $4,000 over
Francis Skunk Brown, which gave
Pinchot plurality In the entire State
of 10000. Brown challenged the
legality of the ballots used in the
county, charging that they were mutt
lated" when perforated. Under the
State law mutilated ballots cannot be
counted.
The case has been carried to the State
supreme Court and decision in favor
of Brown would throw out the 10000
votes cast in Luzerne County at the
Republican primary and place Brown
In the lead for the nomination. In that
event, Pinchot said, he would run as
an independent candidate.
Pinchot said 1.-THE real reason behind
the effort to steal the election of Gov
ernor is the determination of certain
public utilities in Pennsylvania to put
their own man in Office and through
him to control the State government
as they have long controlled the Public
Service Commission"
AT the head of this conspiracy" Mr..
Pinchot said, lis w. w. Atterbury, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
member 'Aof the Republican National
Committee, whose present excursion
into politics is doing him no good and
the stockholders of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad much harm"

ATTACKS HOOVER
FINANCIAL RECORD
Representative BTns Says
Statement Covers Eco
nomic Conditions.

Representative Byrns Of Tennessee,
ranking Democrat on the House APP
preparations Committee, made another
attack today on the administration
financial record. He charged that
President Hoover's recent statement
relative to appropriations and expendi-
lures made by Congress was another
exhibition of Juggling with figures, such
as has been repeatedly done with ref
ernce to unemployment and economic
conditions existing over the country, in
an attempt 20 cover up the real facts"
Previously the Tennessean, chairman
Of the Democratic Congressional Com
rnittee. said the present Congress had
appropriated more than $4,000, 900 900.
THE administration has chosen to
ignore the figures given by the Re-
publican chairman Of the Appropria-
tons Committees of the House and
Senate" he said. He added they
showed appropriations exceed those
of the last session of Congress by $4S9,-
600, 900, which was $23 ,000,000 less than
the amount recommended by President
Hoover.
I'm his effort TO explain this enormous
increase in the cost of Government"
ByrnS continued. 1.-The spokesman for
the administration has, Internationally
of course, n1isled the public by say
ing that some Of these appropriations
will extend over a period Of years.
That Is no more true with reference
to the present year than of the last
or any other prior year"

DEMOCRAT CHIEFS
WILL LAUNCH DRIVE
Hope to WreSt Control of
House From G. O. P.
in November.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Democratic chieftains are laying plans
for an intensive congressional cam
paign to begin late in August by which
they hope to obtain enough seats In the
House to give them control in the
Seventy-second Congress.
:. Formulated at secret conferences be-
tween the party leaders here and in
New York, the plans entail the raising
of funds for drives in the seventy-two
districts In border and Northern States
the Democrats hope to win.
Money Not for National Debt.
The money to be raised is to be used
exclusively for the congressional cam
paign. None of 1t is to be applied to
the $500,0000 deficit of the Democratic
National Committee.
Not only do the Democratic leaders
expect to recapture the 80 seats lost in
the 1928 elections. which are normally
Democratic, but they hope to take over
nearly all of the 81 seats that have
gone Democratic in off-year congress
sional elections during the past decade.
With % additional seats to the 80 nor
mally Democratic, they would have q
bare majority of 216.
Representative Byrns Of Tennessee,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee. Is to re-
turn to Washington late in August and
direct the campaign until the Novem-
Der elections. He has been assured by
Jouett Shouse. chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, and John
.Raskob, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, of close co-opera-
ton, both in the campaign and in the
raising Of funds.
Byrns ConsultS With Leaders.
Byrns spent several days quietly In
Washington with the other chieftains
arranging the~program. Before depart
ing early today for his home In Nash
vile, he said the party was in the "best
shape for congressional fight that we
have been in since 1910"
With the present outlook, he said, the
Democrats would undoubtedly control
the house in the new Congress.
The seats the Democrats expect to
regain are one each in New Jersey, New
York. Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana,
Illinois, New Mexico and Pennsylvania;
two each in North Carolina, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Ohio; three in Virginia, FIVE
in Kentucky and six in Missouri.
In addition, they hope to take other
seats In those States and in Massa-
chusetts, Utah, Kansas, Minnesota, the
Dakotas and in Montana.

NAVAL TREATY BILL
PASSES COMMONS
House of Lords Expected to
Approve-Pact Itself
Unaffected.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 25.-The naval treaty
bill was ready for the House of Lords
today with final passage expected soon.
The House of Commons approved the
measure last night on third and final
reading.
Beatty and Jellicoe Oppose Bill.
Earl Beatty and Lord Jellicce, who
recently charged the treaty weakened
Great Britain's naval power, will lead
the debate in the upper house. No one
believes the measure will be rejected.
The House of Commons acted on the
bill without division except for a single
clause, No. 2, which supersedes arti-
Gle of the treaty of Washington act
of 1922. This article enforced treaty
provisions against the building Of GER
tain types of ships and in the debate
last night Comdr. A. r. j. Southby
and Conservatives argued that article
4 should be retained as guard against
unrestricted submarine warfare.
A. v. Alexander, first lord Of the
admiralty. answered that article ~ OF
the London naval treaty dealt with
this point. He said clause 2 of the
present bill, dealing with the same mat
ter, had been inserted on advice o.
the admiralty.
Government Wins 190-5S.
In the division of this clause the
government won by 100 to So.
The naval treaty measure does not
affect the treaty itself, which was bind
ing upon the government with the sig
nature in April. It merely embodie;
legislation which will make the proVi-

A Thought for Sunday

PILOT NEEDED

a mechanic started the propeller of
a biplane and at the same time acci-

The engine fired at once. There oc-
CURED an amazing scene, for the
airplane ran along the ground, rose
smoothly into the air, and went
through series of complicated
eyolutions with a skill as perfect
as that of the most expert aviator
Then the wind caught it, over
turned it, and dashed it to the
ground, where it burst into flames
and was destroyed
That is the way with our lives
when we start off without having
the heavenly Pilot on board For
a while we do surprisingly well, and
think it is all nonsense, this talk
about needing celestial guidance
But soon some contrary wind
strikes our plane, and down it falls
to ruin. The appearance of sue
cess without Christ is only an emp
ty show, like the performance of
that pilotless plane.
