Record crowds, evincing keen
enthusiasm, crowd the exhibition
space assigned to Oldsmobile
cars in the automobile show to
examine at closest range the
new line Of cars brought out
at lower prices for the 1881

That the interest in the new
cars is not confined to visitors
to the show but extends to OldS-
mobile Showrooms throughout the
country is demonstrated by the
numerous kilograms received from
dealers in all sections, eagerly
reporting the reception the new
Oldsmobile cars were given since
they went on display.

President Hoover and Dino
Grandi, Italian foreign min
lister, conversed for two and
one-half hours in the Lincoln
study of the White House to-
day.
Following their meeting, Grandi
was accompanied to his auto
mobile by Secretary of State
StimSon. He then departed for
the Mayflower Hotel, where Sig
nora Grandi awaited him to pre-
pare for the luncheon of Secre-
tary Mellon.
While Grandi was comforting
with the President, fresh inStruc-
tions were understood to have
gone forward to American repre-
Sentatives. in Europe on the ques-
ton of fntergovernmental debts
and reparations.
state Department Denies
The State Department GATE
gorically denied reports that a
communication had been sent to
the American embassy at Paris
giving a Qualification of the
American Interpretation of the
Hoover-Laval memoranda.
It did not deny, however, that
a message on the subject of debts
and reparations had been sent to
some of the American embassies
in Europe. Officials declined to
comment upon the nature or con-
tents of the message.
But it was generally believed
that the message was based upon
word from Paris that Premier
Pierre Laval, of France, and Am
bassador Won Hoesch, German
representative in Paris, had ar
rived at a practical agreement in
their conversation regarding debts
and reparations.
Peace, ItaIy'S Aim
Italy, Grandi declared, wants
peace, showed it by proposal of
the the one-year armament truce
and hopes to make another con-
tribution in the form of Franco
Italian understanding on naval
problems in the Mediterranean.
The Italian foreign minister
has evaded every effort to draw
him out on Italy's desire for
revision of the Versailles treaty.
The italian government, however,
considers the treaty a stumbling
block in the, way of European
peace.
Today's program, in addition to
the conference with President
Hoover and luncheon with Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon,
provides for a reception to the
Italy-A-1erican Society of Wash
ington at the Italian Embassy in
the afternoon and a State dinner
at the White House this evening.
All members of Congress OF
Italian descent were invited by
President Hoover today to attend
the state dinner he is giving to-
night at the White House in

BOWMAN
SAYS
West Virginia Representative
To Ask Probe by Congress
For Welfare Board

Complete reorganization and
a congressional investigation
Of the Board of Public Welfare
for courageous neglect" in its
conduct of the Riley case was
demanded today by Representa-
tive Frank M. Bowman (R.)
Of West Virginia, member Of
the House District Committee.
'It would have been easy for
the board to obtain an attach
ment for this child years ago,
as it apparently was done with
no difficulty just recently. The
Juvenile Court probably would
have been more anxious to
issue an attachment had the
matter been called to it's atten-
tiOn by the board than when it
came from an outside source
as it finally did"
"There is something start
lingly strange behind this whole
affair or a group such as the
Board of Public Welfare would
not have permitted this thing
to go ON. The files of the
WOmen's Bureau 60 SO far as
to show requests of the bureau
to make no investigation of the
Riley Home.
ASKS THOROTIGH AIRING
"What connection there is
between the Riley home and
the Board of Public Welfare I
do not know, but / do not like
the appearance of this thing
and / will demand that the
whole situation be aired before
a Congressional investigation
committee"
Representative Bowman de-
clared he had been following the
case of 13-year-old Edith Riley
md looked with utter contempt"
IN the Board of Welfare for not
continuing it's investigation after
he alleged unwholesome condi-
ions in the Riley home had
oeen brought to it's attention in
1925.

The files of the Women's Blu
eau indicated clearly, Bowman
aid. that the board knew enough
If the situation to make a COM
olete and thorough investigation
which would have prevented any
nistreatment Of Edith, her
brother, Francis, or her older
sister, Louise.
Representative Bowman as.
serted:
"It's the most prepOsterOus
situation that ever has been
called to my attention. To
think that any civilized COM
munity could have such an
organization as a Board Of
Welfare that, because of lax
methods, would permit such
conditions to exist"
Judge Sellers indicated her
willingness to issue the neces-
Sary legal papers to get the
child when the matter was
brought to her attention 10
days ago, and it Is easy to
see she would have been just
as willing to have taken such
action had the board presented
the case to her long ago.
Judge Sellers, I have heard,

quarters for what is termed
exceeding her authority" but

appeared before

New DirigibLe Akron
Is Largest In World

The new Navy dirigible' Akron
exceeds in all dimensions every
lighter-than-air ship constructed
to date. The noteworthy dimen-
Sional factor to be considered in
comparing the newest designs of
dirigibles with older airships is
that the maximum diameter has
been increasing at a more rapid
rate than the length. while with
each successive type the gas Ca
pacity has increased. In other
words the designing trend is TO-
ward thickness as well as length.
In the following table the Akron
is compared with other giant air
ships:
