Recent Operation.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. T.
(UP) - The state of Arkansas, with
the whole nation, prepared today to
pay tribute to one of its foremost
statesmen, Senator Thaddeus H.
Caraway, who died suddenly last
night from heart relapse.
Senator Caraway's body was here,

been in ST. Vincent's hospital, re-
covering steadily from kidney op-
Grafton performed the week before.
So strong was he that doctors al
lowed a few close friends to visit
him. He discussed with his wife the
possibility of returning to Jones'
boro to recuperate.
without warning, he collapsed
shortly after eating dinner. Death
was instantaneous. doctors said.
Vice-President Charles Curtis and
Senator Joseph T. Robinson, oppos-
ing candidates for the vice-presi-
dency in 1928, were placed in joint
charge of the funeral by Mrs Cara
way. Curtis will select a delega-
ton of senators and congressman to
represent the federal government
Robinson will complete all other ar
rangementS.
At Senator CaraWay's funeral will
be senators who saw him wage a re-
lentless fight for relief for his
drought stricken state in the last
session of congress. He had served
two terms in the senate. There will
be representatives who heard him
expound his ideals of democracy
He had served 10 years in the lower
house There will be farmers, peo-
pie he represented at the nations
capital.
Mrs. Caraway. suffering from
shock and in q condition of almost
total collapse, was under the care
of trained nurse.

ANNIVERSARY OF
RUSSIAN REVOLT
OBSERVED TODAY
Huge Celebration Held In
Moscow To Commence
rate Red Revolution.
By EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, Nov. 7. W.p)-More
than 100000 persons trade through
Red Square today in connection
with an impressive display of mill
tary strength ON the l4th anniver-
sary of the Red revolution.
The procession, which included
regiments of infantry, artillery,
cavalry, tank units and armed fac
tory workers, filed through the
square all day, marching past the
reviewing stand on the ledge of
Lenin's tomb, where Premier Josef
Stain, War Commisar Klementi
Voroshiloff and Premier Viacheslav
Molotov, received the plaudits OF
the multitudes.
Foreign military attaches who
witnessed the military show, one OF
the longest in the history of Red
Square, commented on the appar-
ent improvements in the appear
ance, discipline, equipment and
mechanization of the Soviet army.
The military attaches divisions
were followed by civilians, marching
abreast and carrying many banners
caricaturing alleged Japanese i'm
perialism. social Democrats and
Fascists, and expressing solidarity
with the Chinese peoples.
While waiting to join the parade,
the crowds sang and danced and
played kissing games to the tune
of hundreds of accordions and bala-
laikas. Huge portraits of Stain
monopolized the front pages of all
newspapers and as further evidence
of Stains growing domination,
placards, carrying his picture were
displayed in all store windows and
on little buttons.
In an order to the army, Voroshi-
loft declared that capitalist nations
were seeking military adventures.
The class hatred of imperialists,
he said, and their armaments
which are growing yearly, are di-
rected against the Soviet union and
against Socialist construction
Soviet Russia, he said, seeks peace,
but is prepared to defend its from
tiers.
The semi-official newspaper IL
vestia contrasted the stability OF
the Soviet union with the disinte-
grafton of the outside world.
The Soviet union will not invoke
a moratorium" the newspaper said
because it does not need it"

NAVAL EFFICIENCY DEFENDED
FOLLOWING FATAL EXPLOSION

Louis, Mo, and Clarence E. Swift.

A board of inquiry completed its
investigation OF the fatal blast, and
prepared its findings to be sent to
the navy department at Washing
ton, where the report will he made
public.
The human efficiency of the navy
was defended by officers and men
of the Colorado in testimony before
the board. They blamed the blast
on IAN accident of material" rather
than the failure OF the gun crew in
its operation of the five-inch rifle.
SAN PEDRO, Cal, Nov. 7. U.P)-
The human efficiency of the United
States navy was vigorously defend
ed by officers and men of the bat
tleship Colorado today as findings
of a board Of inquiry into the dead
ly explosion of an anti-aircraft gun
which brought death to five men,
were prepared for forwarding to
Washington, D. c.
AN accident of material rather
than the failure of the crew in its
operation of the five-inch gun. was
unofficially blamed for the tragedy,
although the boards findings will
not be made public until passed on
by the navy department.
Il can offer no criticism of the
manner in which the gun was han

w. Johnson, commanding officer OF
the Colorado. II am convinced the
tragedy was caused by defective
material in the weapon, or, more
probably, in a shell. 1t was not All
accident of personnel"
In this connection, it was point
ed out that the explosion which in
jured nearly score of men as well
took place before the gun was fired
for the mechanism was not in recoil
position when the deadly hail OF
metal and shrapnel had ceased.
This belief was expressed by
members of gun crews on the Colo
RADIO whose posts were near the gun
that burst during battle practice of
Santa Rosa Island.
Clarence E. Swift, young Los
Angeles seaman, was the fifth
member of the crew to die, expiring

BICAMY CHARGE
AGAINST SCREEN
STAR NOT LIKELY

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 7. W,P>-If
Gloria Swanson, film star, and Mi
chael Farmer, wealthy automobile
man. are married, as reports from
Elmsford. N. Y, indicate. the
actress has little to fear from pos
sible bigamy action, although her
divorce from Marquis Henri de la
Falaise is not yet final.
District Attorney Buron r. Fits
of Los Angeles pointed out today
that if there was any irregularlty
in the action, 1t would be at the
point of marriage.
And, Miss Swanson's attorney,
Milton Cohen, pointed out, any pos
sible embarrassment she might SUI
fer would have to be instigated by
her former husband.
II am quite sure he is too much
of a gentleman to do anything which
might prove embarrassing to MISS
Swanson" Cohen declared,
Cohen added that he had no
knowledge of the actress marriage,
and said he had only recently been
instructed to apply for a final de-
cree of divorce for Miss Swanson
next Monday. The decree becomes
final today. just q year and day
after the interlocutory decree was
signed
Miss Swanson and Farmer have
never assumed the relationship OF
man and wife in California" Cohen
added. "They both have main
tanned separate residences. LAWYERS
with whom 1 have consulted hold
with me the bigamy laws are not
violated unless such persons live to-
gether as man and wife.
Miss Swanson and Farmer were
believed on an automobile tour OF
the state. They left Hollywood to-
gether several weeks ago to go to
Palm Springs and other resorts.

I never did go in much for
this typical American stuff, but
this fellow in his career and
his home life will come pretty
near living up to what we think

this is no bull either, in going
back to Washington this time,

Nick Longworth. That alone

cations and model studies of hydraulic struc-
lures will be made for governmental agencies
up to the capacity Of the laboratory"
BY including the hydraulic laboratory in the
Bureau Of Standards Research Associate Plan"
Director Burgess anticipates that arrangements
will be made to permit governmental agencies
to send their engineers and investigators to
the bureau to work in cooperation with the
staff Of the laboratory On the problems In
which they are interested.
Hydraulic laboratories have been established
in many engineering colleges throughout the
country, although these have been small and
used principally for instruction and various
Government departments have established field
laboratories for specific studies in hydraulic
problems but the new laboratory equipped
with a main dume to carry from $4,000 to
1875 900 gallons of water per minute and pro-
visions for circulating more than twice the
volume of water available in any other labora-
tory under cover will open the door to q new
and deeper realm Of investigation in hydraulics.
Functioning under the administration Of the
Bureau of Standards. the Governments won
derland Of science, which has paid back into
American business $500 for every 81 the United
States has appropriated, not too much en-
phasis can be placed on the new laboratorys
possible benefit to industry and to the nation.
What the proposed new 200-inch telescope
offers astronomy in greatly extending the reach
of its study, the new hydraulic laboratory
offers in its own realm, and there Is no way
Of telling what new wonders lie in store for
the research worker whose discoveries may
turn science Of hydraulics into new and
broader fields.

Here also will be made a study of the laws

Another phase of the laboratory's work. the
director points out. will be the testing and
development of hydraulic instruments and ac-

draulic instruments which the Bureau Of
Standards is equipped to make calibra-

Of water meters up to one and one-half inch in

Gated in the new laboratory, but will be ex-
tended to enable tests of current meters to be
made in running water, with without arti-
ficially produced eddes, and the other type
of disturbances. The new laboratory will also
make possible the testing Of water meters up to
six inches in size, and of ventura meters,
