PALo ALTO, Calf. May IT
(NANA) Anne Linbergh has joined
the great company Of the mothers OF
lost children. And she will learn some
day, as we other mothers who have
children close and dear in that other
world so near our own have learned
before her, that the child we lose Is
the only child we keep. The others
his joyous, noisy, eager sisters and
brothers - will not be children long.
They will flash through babyhood, be
great creatures home for school vaca-
tions, be gone again-gone into the
world, before she fairly realizes that
they are hers.
But this child will be forever young.
Forever the adored baby who played in
the nursery freight, and last his
breath with laughter, and was put to
bed and kissed, and who watched his
dearly-loved family through his crib
bars with Just his usual content and
confidence on that fatal evening.
And for his sake all childhood will
be sacred now to that desolate young
father and mother whose grief the
world is sharing For his sake wave
of tenderness for babyhood is sweeping
over the Nation, determination to pro-
tect it, to keep it safe and well and
happy. Indeed, we feel the wings of
this new high endeavor stirring now.
Some losses are so great We measure
them by gain, said Emily Dickinson.
This loss, with Gods help, we shall
measure by gain. The sunny days Of
baby less than years old shall spread
their influence over the desttnieS Of

STERILIZATION ACT
SCORED BY MILLS
House Measure Called "Dis-
turbing Factor" by Secre-
tary in Letter to Senate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Mills informed the Senate
Banking Committee today that passage
by the House of the Goldsborough dol
lar stabilization bill was a disturbing
factor, both at home and abroad" and
that the Federal Reserve Board Is unan-
imously opposed to it.
The Secretary's letter was In response
to request that he comment on a
Senate bill by Senator Fletcher. Demo-
crat, OF Florida, virtually identical with
the Goldsborough measure passed by
the House
They provide that the Federal Reserve
Board and the Secretary of the Treas
ury restore the purchasing power Of
the dollar to the 1926 level by currency
expansion.
Cannot Garry Out.
I'm my opinion it would not be DOS
sible for the Government to carry out
such mandate" Secretary Mills wrote
Price levels are dependent upon a
large number Of factors that are be-
yond the control of the Federal Re-
serve System, the Treasury Department
or any other agency Of the Government,
and I do not believe that it would be
wise to impose upon them a duty and
a responsibility which they could not
discharge.
Such an attempt would tend to un-
dermine the confidence of the people
In the various agencies of the Govern
ment and the result would be unfortu-
nate"
He recalled that Gov. Eugene Meyer
Of the Federal Reserve Board testified
before House committee in opposition
to the bill and said his position was
approved by all the members of the
board.
Gov. Meyer Is expected to testify on
the measure before the Senate Banking
Committee tomorrow.

The women Of America could build

Some of these little foster brothers
Of the lost baby are in orphanages;
some never have had a kiss or a toy or

Some are looking out Of great institu-

TERRORIST PLOT DENIED.
Company OficiaI Says Fire Started
Several Days Ago In Holds.

PARIS, May IT (P.-Adrian Monge,
director of the Compagnie des Mes
sageries Maritimes, owners Of the
French motorship Georges Philippar,
which was destroyed by fire yesterday.
said today there was no substance in
the theory that terrorists caused the
disaster.
The fire started several days ago in
freight holds and it was not perceptible
until 1t burst forth with such violence
that all normal safety measures were
in vain, M. Monge declared.
The office of the Messageries Meri-
times said today its latest word of the
disaster was that 420 survivors were
aboard the Soviet tanker SovietSkaia
Neft, 104 aboard the British steamer
Contractor and l30 aboard the Mahsud.
Announcing that they had received
information about possible attempt to
fire the ship, the police said it seemed
out OF the question that any political
group was responsible for the disaster.
The Georges Philippar was homeward
bound from her maiden trip to the
Orient. When she sailed from Marseilles
outward bound she was carefully in
spected Because of the tips they had
received, the police took extra precau-
tions, identifying passengers as well as
members of the crew.

BETTY cow RUM0RS
REPEATEDLY DENIED
Ry the Associated Press.

BY tne A5sOcIdLeQ fIeSs
NEW YORK. May 17.-Rumors in
volving Betty Cow, nurse Of the mur-
dered son Of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
continued 10 circulate today, apparently
broadcast by some obscure radio station
whose identity the leading broadcasting
companies were unable to check.
Today's story, denied by all official
and authentic sources, was that Miss
Cow had confessed to throwing the
baby out Of the window to the kid
napers on the ground below. Police
have said repeatedly that Miss Cow is
in no way implicated In the kidnapping.
A rumor that had spread across the
country yesterday was that Miss Cow
had committed suicide. A telephone
call to the Lindbergh home at Hopewell
brought the information that she was
alive and in good health.
Other fantastic rumors still circu-
lated, including one dealing with a
supposed new figure in the case. In
yestIgation has established that there
Is no such person.

SMITHS PROGRAM
ASKS SALES TAX.
Democratic Leader Urges
Congress to EscheW CIiques
+ in Radio Address.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 17.-Calling upon
Congress to eschew cliques and other
obstructionist tactics in the interests
Of national rehabilitation, Alfred E.
Smith had his own program for the
alienation of economic ills before the
voters today.
In a radio address last night he ad-
vocated a manufacturers sales tax, re-
striction of veterans legislation, an ex-
panded program Of Federal puonc
works, action on war debts and mooln-
cation of the prohibition laws.
The first duty of Congress, he said,
vas to find means to balance the puo-
get. To accomplish this he urged re-
duction of appropriations to an IRE
ducible minimum and imposition OF
manufacturers sales tax.
For Reorganization.
REORGANIZATION of governmental de-
partments is an executive, not leglsla-
tive, function, he said, and the Presl-
dent should be given the full RESPONSE :
bility and power which he has asked
in the immediate consolidation OF Gov
ernment activities and bureaus and In
other ways to reduce the cost OF gov
eminent. m
Regarding veterans relief, Smith
urged a return to the principles OF the
wise and far-sighted plans set forth by
President Wilson in his program 1or
payments to the soldiers"
He restated his plan for a puonc
works program financed by ooho
issue to spur business and industry.
Meet Debt Situation
Congress should empower the Presi-
dent, he said, to meet the war debt
situation and, If necessary, 10 proiong
the Hoover moratorium.
He urged immediate action by Con-
press to place more liberal interpre-
fation bv statute on what constitutes
an intoxicant pending action by party
conventions to determine party poncy
on modification or repeal OF the
eighteenth amendment.
Roosevelt for whom 362 Of the dele
gates elected to date are pledged, IN
structed or claimed, has not taken
public stand on the sales tax
For Average Citizen.
In discussing this subject, smith,
said all his life he had been OF ana
for the ordinary citizen Of limited means
and limited earning power.
"For this reason" he added. II can
not give my approved TO the false frleno
who leads the working man to believe
that his condition of life can be bettered
bv the slogan attributed by the press
to- those opposed to the sales tax-in
order to make up the deficit, soak the
rich
'aThat means soak capital, and every
body knows you cannot soak capital
without soaking labor at the same time.
They are bound together. One is es.
sential to the other. The success OF
one means the success Of the other.
The destruction OF one means the de-
struction of the other. Capital must
bear the main burden Of taxation, but
1t should never be an unfair burden"
Tax Not Understood.
He said the man in the street" did
not understand the sales tax. He esti-
mated the yearly expenditure OF the
average family head among working
classes at $1,000, and figured the sales
tax would cost him about So.
He concluded with this statement:
There are plenty Of subjects to be
discussed during the Summer by con-
ventions and candidates. Let Us CO.
operate now and argue afterwards"

Schwarzkopf would continue in COM

Spring has done her share to bring
comfort to the LindberghS.
On that blustery March night when
the baby was taken away, the home
stood in a setting of dank, bare woods.
But today the scene of the tragedy
was cloaked with screens of beauty.
Thes pot on Mount Rose Hill where
the body was found, heretofore plainly
visible from the south windows Of the
home five miles away, Is now hidden

Featherfed lane, down which the kid

a rocky. almost impossible trail among

TO SETTLE STRIKE.
Proposes Truce of One Year
Between Disputing Parties
in Ohio.
BY the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 17--A pro-
gram for settlement Of the Ohio btu
minous coal mine strike, which started
April /, was submitted to operators and
miners today by Gov. George White
1t included a recommendation for a
truce of one year between the disputing
parties.
Gov. White suggested the operators
and miners declare a truce and reopen
the mines Immediately under a mini
mum wage scale of SO cents ton for
loading machine mined coal and 1928
per day for motormen and other en-
ployes-
Governors Program.
The program suggested by the Gov
ernor is
Unemployment OF miners without
prejudice for the part they took in the
present strike and without discrimina-
ton against any man for membership
in the union.
Hold the jobs of miners who were
employed when the strike started open
for reasonable time
Pay all employees in currency.
Permit miners to buy in the open
market without compulsion to patronize
company-owned stores.
Permit miners to elect checkweigh-
men If they desire.
Pay a minimum wage scale Of 38
cents an hour for loading machine
mined coal and 1928 day for motor
men and other employees.
Garry on the dead work" in the same
manner as before the strike, subject to
a percentage of increase or decrease as
found in the basic wage.
Settlement of disputes between oper-
ator and miner over different1al OF wage
scales peculiar to a certain mine by a
conference, and If that fails permit the
Governor to appoint referee to act
in settlement.
One-Year Truce Proposed.
Make no further pay reductions with
out so days notice to the Governor who
will then investigate and determine
the need for the reduction.
Declare a truce in the present con-
troversy for one year.
Gov. White told the miners and
operators that it was their patriotic
duty to reopen the mines and to con-
cede points in their controversy so that
production may be resumed.
The strike called April l was pre-
cipitated by an announcement Of q
majority Of operators Of reduction
in wages.
Disorders followed and resulted in
the killing of one alleged striker and
the wounding of several others. Gov.
White sent troops into the area and
several squadrons are still on duty.
