Retiring Diplomat
Will Settle DOWn
In Georgetown Home

Planning, doubtIessly. to set
tie down in their beautiful
home, Evermay. IN Georgetown,
the first secretary Of the
" American Embassy in London,
Ferdinand Lamont Belin and
Mrs. Belin will sail shortly for
this country.
MI. Belin has resigned his
position and will retire from
the diplomatic service, accord
ing to an announcement from
the State Department.
Mr.. Belin was secretary of
the legation at the London
naval conference, going after
ward to southern France for
his health, and the State De-
partment, in announcing his
retirement, said it was due to
personal reasons" He will
be succeeded by James c. Dunn,
of New York, now serving in
the State Department.
Distinguished Career
Entering the diplomatic SER
vice in 1917, Mr.. Belin first
served as private secretary to
the Minister at Peking. Three
years later he was assigned as
secretary in the service and
sent to Constantinople. and to
Paris in 1921. Mr.. Belin served
for q time in the State De.
! lrtment at Washington and

designated first secretary at

The Belin home in George
town has been occupied by

Pratt for several years. There
is every reason to believe, how
ever, that Mr.. and Mrs. BeIln

for they have spared no ex-
pense or trouble in perfecting
the beautiful estate, which is
pointed out as one of the
show" places of the city. And

RIVER AND HARbOR
 BILL IS BANDED
Senate Fight Over Great Lakes
 Diversion Imminent

Washington, May 23 (UP) - An expanded rivers and harbors bill car rying sl25, 5,000,000, or s14,000, 900 more than was provided by the house, awaited action in the senate today. Within it's broad provisions are included authorizations for wa terway and port projects in virtually every section of the nation.
 Most of the measures controver- sial items were ironed out by the sen- ate commerce committee, which re- ported 1t late yesterday. Hence, it Is expected the bill will pass within a few days.
 Great Lakes Fight Looms
 A minor fight may develop in the senate over a provision giving the war department Jurisdiction over the amount Of water to be diverted from the Great Lakes for the Illinois wa terway which the bill provides the government shall acquire and spend $7.500,000 to improve.
 This is the only provision on which a settlement was not reached in the commerce committee. 4 motion by Senator Nandenberg, republican, Michigan, 10 limit the diversion to 1,500 cubic feet per second vas de- feated 10-S.
 The measure did not fix the amount of water 10 be diverted from the Great Lakes. but directed that enough be diverted to sprovide q useful waterway from Lake Michi- gan to the Mississippi River without interfering with navigation on the Great Lakes.
 Another controversy in the orisi- nal house bill, providing for govern ment acquisition of the Erie and Os- wego canals in New York state, has been compromised by providing that the canals shall be developed only as a barge canal. This compromise def initely writes into the law for the first time the government policy of making the St. Lawrence waterway the seaWay from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
