These young men Of the Tinkham
unit were typical American boys. Their
experiences and their reactions typtfy
the response of American youth every
where in the hour of crisis. Volunteers
sprang I'D right and left; young men
eagerly offered to risk their future
their lives-because they wanted TO do
their mans share in a crisis OF the
world. Without on atom of selfshneSs
they sought TO carry out their ideal Of
manhood It involved hardships, dan
ger. even death, but they were I'M
afraid. With heads erect, with vibrant
tread. they left their training camps.
Alive with purpose, alive with honor.
alive with faith, their only anxiety was
how quickly they could get over there.
They had no illusions about what was
ahead Of them. Life to them had been
sweet joyous and care free. Tomorrow
it might be ended. yet they never
faltered. and gave up all for a cause
which they believed to be right. There
was no searching for hidden motives or
for Interior purposes. They accepted
whatever came, with smile, and they
did not ask questions. They had no
hatred in their hearts, but they went
about their Job with full resolve to
play the mans part In terrible ousi-
ness.
Patriotism and Devotion.
Their patriotism never wavered, but
rather their devotion grew and found
its way back to the quiet campuses
which they had left in the full flush Of
their youthful enthusiasm.
Ito them and to all those from Cor
nell who followed them we didicate this
memorial. In speaking for the Cornell
dead am drawing the attention Of
this Nation to all its university war
dead; indeed to all our youth who went
over, never to come back.
In this memorial, as in all our other
memorials, We do not seek 10 glorify
war or to perpstuate hatreds. We are
COMMUNICATING net war. but the cour-
age and the devotion and the sacrifice
of those who gave their lives for thsir
fellows and for their country. We raise
these because we are able to remember
the ideals which possessed us at the
time. We do not condemn our own
action or belittle the high motives and
ideals which based our efforts when we

their memory. We can not i'd to their

Sharing their lone effective oxygen tank
and tube, two Army aviators scared over
New York City yesterday at an altitude
OF $4,000 feet. height at which human
lungs cannot function without arti-
fetal aid.
Shortly after Capt Albert w. Stevens,
Army Air Corps photograph expert, and
Lieut.. John .. Corkviile, his pilot, had
taken on, the iieutenant's oxygen tank
blew out a gasket. Continuing their
hight, however. the two officers alter
mated in using the remaining tube in
two-minute relays and completed their
task of photographing the city.
Twenty-Five exposures were taken.

SPECIAL SESSION
HELD RECOVERY BAR
Hoover Believes 1t Would Re-
tard Overcoming Bust
ness Depression.
IL the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Because he believes a special session
Of Congress would hinder economic re-
covery, President Hoover has decided
against calling one.
His statement to this effect at the
regular press conference yesterday was
interpreted as a direct answer to Senate
Republican independents and others
who have insisted an extra session
should be convened to deal with unem-
ployment and the depression. One of
the most recent demands for an i'm
mediate" assembly came earlier in the
week from Senator La Toilette, Wiscon-
sin indepenie nt Republican.
Must Work Way Out.
The President said:
Il do not propose to call an extra
session of Congress. I know of nothing
that would so disturb the healing proc
esseS now undoubtedly going on in the
economic situation. We cannot legislate
ourselves out of world economic de-
preston; we can and will work ourselves
cut. A poll of the members of Congress
would show that large majority agree
with me in opposing an extra session"
The presidential statement was inter-
preted as leaving no room for a change
of mind, and congressional leaders are
making no plans for a meeting before
the regular date in December.
Republican leaders have insisted since
before the last Congress adjourned that
there was no need for a called session
Democrats, for the most part, have said
It was a question for the President to
decide since the power rests with him
alone.
La Toilette Is Attacked.
Some Senators held the presidential
announcement to mean even that the
Senate would not be convened to con-
slider the World Court.
The President said he had received
q number Of requests for called ses-
sion, principally from religious organ
izations, which he did not name.
The Peoples Lobby issued statement
today attacking Senator La Toilette and
other Independents with the assertion
that playing Progressive politics with
human misery is no less dastardly than
playing Hoover politics with such
misery"
Facts cited by the Wisconsin Sen
ator in his support Of the special ses-
sion, the lobby said, are no more i'm
perative now than during the closing
DAYS of the last Congress, when these
same Progressive Senators could have
forced this special session II they had
any nerve"

GRAIN SECRETARIAT
OF WORLD PLANNED
London Conferees Agree on System
for Clearing House Of Wheat
Information.

By the Associated Press
LONDON, May 23.-Delegates Of the
wheat exporting nations who have been
In session here for the past week today
reached an agreement for the appoint
nent Of secretartat 10 act as a clear
ing house for international information,
statistics and crop reports.
The session continued with informal
peace making, which was expected to be
followed by formal adjournment CT the
sessions early this afternoon.
The delegates calling another confer
ence when the time appears more pro-
pitious for reaching a solution Of the
world wheat crisis, but q final decision
has not yet been reached.
The plan of the secretariat repre-
sents compromise between the two
factions. one Of which has held out
for quota restrictions on exports and
the other repudiating any proposal
which might force their nationals Il
curtah wheat production, stepped up In
wartime and maintained at peak levek
ever since.
Led by Russia, the grain-growing ma.
tons Of the Danube Basin sought ar
agreement upon the quota scheme. Rus.
sia insisted that these states were en-.
titled TO their former prestige among
exporting nations
The American delegation had hels
out firmly for a reduction in acreage
as the best solution to the problem.
Called at the suggestion Of Canada

products of convict or forced labor have
been indicated recently by the contro-
versy over exclusion Of Russian lumber.
American lumber interests have bonn
barded the Treasury Department to
shut out absolutely lumber from the
Soviet country. In turn, there have
been threats from Russia to cut of
enormously valuable purchases of goods
in the United States If her lumber is
excluded. Caught between two fires,
the Treasury Department has been in
a dimcult position and not long ago, in
a case supposed to be q test, admitted a
cargo Of lumber from Southern Russia.
The new law is an ampliflcation en-
largement Of provisions which have
been in force for some years to pro-
hibit importations of all goods, wares,
articles and merchandise mined, pro-
duced or manufactured wholly or In
part in any foreign country by convict
labor, forced labor or indentured labor
under penal sanctions. In effect, it Is
intended to shut out products Of in
voluntary labor as to which there Is a
penalty for on-performance.
Not only are direct importations from
the country or origin affected, but i'm
portations which come through third
country. Indirect importations present
questions of much administrative diff
Guilty. One effect of the expansion of
the convict labor provisions, 1t is
pointed out, would be to exclude dia-
monds from British South Africa.
The whole situation Is complicated.
however, by the fact that a provision
was put into the law to the effect that
the prohibition shall not apply to goods
which are not produced in the United
States in suficient quantities to meet
the consumptive demand. 1t is a very
vague proposition likely to embarrass
Treasury onicials still further In their
Interpretation Of the law.

ALASKA In the pure air of Alaska, Where the sea and mountains meet,
 And the snow and blue-white glaciers,
 Are untouched by summers heat. There's a surcease from lltes errors,
 And a peace within the soul. For such glorious gifts of beauty Lift the spirit to it's goal. There are crags and foaming torrents,
 Broad lakes of jade and blue, Sharp peaks that pierce the heavens,
 Pointing to the good and true. Grey wreathes of mist surround them.
 Dark with rain and thunder cloud,
 Or again with films of gossamer Their opal sides enshroud. There are beasts and birds and fishes,
 And the fertile valleys green, Are filled with ranch and home steads,
 Where fair gardens grow be- tween.
 Everything that lives and blos- somS
 In this land of magic lights, Seems sweeter, brighter, lovelier, And to the senses bring delight. Wealth untold is still in hiding, Meath the rock-ribbed noun tain side;
 Great forest depths primeval, Where the unknown still abideS. Like the north of all true beauty This alludes the pen of men; Only sight and heart can reach it, See Alaska if you can!

PROSECUTOR is
INDICTED IN DRY,
BRIBERY CASES
Lagrange Official Target of
Grand Jury Charge:
Deputy Cited.

By United Press
LAGRANGE, Ind, Oct. 13.-Two
indictments charging acceptance Of
bribes and sale Of liquor we're re-
turned against Ralph Foster, pros
ecutor for Lagrange and Steuben
counties, by the Lagrange county
grand jury today.
Orville Nelson. former deputy
sheriff, also was indicted on a
charge of selling liquor.
Warrants for the arrest Of Foster
and Nelson were being prepared
1t was expected that they would be
arrested today
Indictments withheld
The grand jury adjourned more
than week ago, but the indict-
ments against Foster were withheld
so he could conduct the states case
against Herbert Johnson charged
with numbering Bert Frye, Seybert
storekeeper.
AS soon as the jury returned
guilty verdict against Johnson, the
indictments against Foster we're
revealed.
q The indictments brought to a cul-
mination a long and bitter strife
between Foster and faction Of
Lagrange and Steuben county resi-
dents. A month ago, they prepared
two petitions which they presented
to Attorney General James M. Og-
den in an effort to GUST the prose-
cutor.
Not in Jurisdiction
Ogden ruled that the matter did
not come under his jurisdiction and
advised them to follow impeach-
ment proceedings Although the
faction which opposed Foster was
not pacified by Ogden's ruling, it
decided to wait and see if the grand
jury took any action against him.
If it did not, they threatened to
carry the case to federal court.
Foster, who was conducting an
investigation into the closing Of the
defunct Lagrange County Trust
Company, took a defiant attitude
toward the charges against him. He
asserted that they we're an attempt
to force him to suspend his bank
investigation.
