Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The
EN)ver one-third world disarma-
ment plan, as such, seems definitely
to have gone on the rocks.
Japan's plan Of conquest in the
Far East; Frances fear of a German
comeback" and Great Britain's de-
termination to remain the strongest
sea power on earth, have combined
TO wreck it.
1t has succeeded, however, in do
ing at least one worthwhile thing:
1t has served to show which of the
nations are most instrumental in
blocking disarmament.
Japan, in effect, has served notice
on the world that she intends to
maintain an army capable of licking
China and Russia. Having taken
Korea, Manchuria, and part of In
ner Mongolia, some of her more out
spoken leaders admit she must ex-
pand still further before she is
through.

BY DEPRESSION

CLEVELAND. Oct. 20. (UaP)-A
research into the effects of the
depression upon foreign-born fam
lilies has been made by DR.. Herbert
H. Miller, formerly of Ohio State
University. A preliminary report
OF the results showed the following
tendencies:
Depression has widened the rift
between the foreign-born parents
and their American-born children.
In spite of the unemployment,
there is little permanent repatria-
ton to the old country.
Nationalistic differences between
the groups are increasing and part
Of the reason for this is unem-
ployment.
There is no hope for the small
foreign-born business man.
The immigrant does not receive,
or culturally, the equiv

city.
The fact that groups have lived
more or less in a neighborhood
lessened the demand on organized

BEES STRUGGLE
TO SAVE HOME
IN TERRE HAUTE

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 90
UP)-A strange struggle over a

this city. The principals are a
hive of independent bees and a
beekeeper. A tree holds the
stake"
Two years ago the bees swarmed

ing honey, apparently unmindful
of autos roaring by, or people
crowding close to see.
Walter Bielfeld, beekeeper, re-
Gently was given permission to
move the swarm to his farm. 1t
appeared impossible to salvage the
honey without injuring the tree,
for the single opening, oddly
enough, was near the base of the
tree and less than two feet from
the sidewalk.
But Bielfield conceived a plan.
He placed trap over the open
ing, whereby the bees can leave
but not re-enter. Then he placed
a patent hive a few inches away
In 81 days-about the middle of
October-young bees will be hatch
ed in the new hive, Bielfield said.
Then he intends removing the
trap. The new bees, he believes,
will re-enter the tree, "rob" it, and
transport the money out into their
own hive.
Bees are terrible robbers as well
ss great workers." Bielfield de-
clared.

SINGLE ATHLETE
HOLDS FORTH AT
OLYMPIC VILLAGE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20. U.P)-
There is only one athlete left at
the Olympic Village. Hec Dyer,
member of the winning American
relay team, has the modern Mount
of Olympus to himself.
A thousand empty houses, dining
halls and administration buildings
are the only tangible remainders
of the 1882 games. Hec is out
there to see that the cottages are
sold and delivered to new owners,
SO that that part of Baldwin Hills
which housed athletes from all oy-
er the world can go back to its
former peace and quiet with moth
ing to disturb it except neighbor-
ing oil wells.
Most OF the athletes were there
two or three weeks. Hec has been
there for three months-first as
salesman, then as an athlete and
now as supervisor.
THE Village has been three diff
ferent kinds of a camp during its
short career" he said. First it
was a construction camp. Houses
appeared over night and buildings
were erected with all the efficiency
Of large scale production.
''Then it became a cottage hotel
affair with its tenants taking
time out every afternoon for a
jaunt over to the Olympic stadium.
And now the hill top, is a sal
wage camp. Olympic fans are car
rying away reminders of their fav-
orite athletes. They come up here
asking for the bed of Lord Burghley
slept on and the pairing knives that
prepared zabala's food. House
wives of Southern California are
wearing aprons once worn by Fin
nish and Polish cooks and the
blankets that once warmed javelin
throwers and high jumpers have
found permanent homes with less
athletic residents"

A Detroit physician with flair
for experimentation claims that he
can glimpse the world of tomor-

DR.. VIE Kim Lin, a native of

AS a result of his experiments,
he predicts the following:

M'KINLEY'S OLD
Home BECOMES
DISMAL WRECK

CANTON, Ohio. Oct 20. U.P)-
One of Americas most famous
Il ont porehes is tumbhng into de-
cay on a weed-grown deserted lot
il this city.
It is the front veranda of the
cid Mckinley mansion. From this
porch. William Mckinley conduct
ed a good part of his campaign for
president in 1895.
Today the building dilapidated
and in ruins-a far cry from the
grandeur that once was the Nc
kinley home. Unless some hiStor-
.cal association comes to the res
cue, the building will be sold at
public auction.
Three years ago the building
was moved from its original site to
a lot donated by the city. A Will
liam Mckinley Home association
was formed to arrange for the
transfer and convert the home into
a national shrine. The sum Of
$4,000 was required to complete
the transfer and refurnish the
house. About $4,000 was raised and
the restoration was only half COM
pleted when the money ran out.
1t has stood in this half-finish-
ed condition ever since. Time and
vandals lent aid to its ruin. Side
walls are falling out; windows are
boarded to conceal the smashed
panes.
Attempts to raise money to save
the historic relic have failed. A
bond issue to provide S25,000 for
the restoration of the building
failed at the last election.

Indications on Capitol Hill
today were that the Senate
Appropriations subcommittee,
which is reshaping the Dis
trict of Columbia appropria-
tion bill as passed by the
House, would insert the $780,
900 item for unemployment re-
lief which the House disal-
lowed despite the recommen-
dations of the President and
the District Commissioners.
At last nights session, the
Bingham subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
conducted further hearings on
the Districts budget for the next
fiscal year, but the 100000 un-
employment relief fund was
chiefly discussed.
Many Back Plan
More than a dozen witnesses
entered pleas for the insertion Of
the unemployment relief fund.
With assertions that approx
mately 10000 persons are now
without work in the Capital, and
that private relief agencies will
have practically exhausted their
resources before next fall, the
necessity of the appropriation
was explained by the District
Commissioners, Elwood Street,
director of the Community Chest;
George S. Wilson, director of
public welfare; Walter S. Ufford,
of the Associated Charities; DR..
Frederick w. Perkins. of the
Washington Council of Social
Agencies; Dorsey w. Hyde, of the

action thereon.
He claimed that the majority

The appropriation, Blanton sug-
gested, would be just an "open-

PLAN STUDIED

Construction of a group of
buildings housing executive
branches of the Army and Navy
departments, at a cost of several
million dollars, was considered to-
day by members of the National
Capital Cark and Planning Com.
mission.
The commission spent the en-.
tire morning, usually devoted to
minor items, to consideration of
an elaborate plan for construc-
ton of two groups of buildings at
the intersection of New York and
Virginia Avenues, close to the site
Of the present Navy Department.
The plan was submitted by
Harvey w. Corbett, New York
architect, and was accompanied
by skillfully built models showing
the appearance of the completed
project.
Under the plan a broad avenue
lined with trees would lead from
Constitution Avenue to a broad
traffic circle at New York and
Virginia Avenues. An artistic
group of buildings east of the
circle would house the War De-
partment, while the Navy Depart
ment would lie to the west.
New York Avenue would be
closed between Virginia Avenue
and Constitution Avenue under
the plan, Capt. E. N. Chisolm
said. The site indicated lies
directly on that tentatively
chosen for the northwest heating
plant.
