NEGRO LEADERS
AWAIT 'PLUMS'
ON MARCH 4

With Franklin D. Roosevelt
coming into the presidency on
March 4, speculation has begun
among negro leaders as to what
rewards they will receive for their
efforts.
Judge Robert E. Terrell, sitting
on the bench of the District Of
Columbia Municipal Court, held
the highest post given a colored
person under the Wilson admins
tration. The Republicans always
nave been more liberal.
Colored Republicans, who in all
probability will be replaced either
by members of their race or by
whites, include jefferson Coage,
recorder of deeds; William C.
Hueston, assistant solicitor, Post
Office Department; Judge James
A. Cobb, Of the District of Colum-
bia Municipal Court; Charles
Mitchell, minister to Liberia; Karl
Phillips, commissioner of concil.

David 3. Henderson, special assist
ant to the Attorney General.
Prominent negro Democrats

100000 on her army and navy this
year. This represents 22.51 per
cent of her entire budget, while
the debt payments for the entire
year would have been only 3.07
per cent. Frances military bud
get is the largest in Europe.
Similarly, Poland's military
budget is $93, 100000 and Belgium's
is $29,385, 900. Both failed to pay
their debt installments yesterday.
Reprisals against France already
proposed in congress include a bill
by Senator McKellar (Dem,) Ten
nessee, to prevent France from
profiting further from the lucrative
American tourist trade. Mcclellan
would charge a fee of $4,000 on
every passport issued to Americans
intending to visit defaulting coun-
tries. Other measures would for
bid sale of French bonds in this
country.
The administration opposes such
retaliatory measures, believing the
defaults carry their own penalties.
1t already has given informal no.
tice that the countries which met
their payments will be given the
more favorable consideration when
revision is discussed.
1t is uncertain what method of
negotiation President Hoover will
propose to deal with the revision
pleas which are certain to be
pressed by Europe soon.

ing a larger and more extensively
improved car than any annual
Chevrolet model since the car was
changed to six in 1923, Chevrolet
is reversing a trend indicated by a
number of other manufacturers in
reducing the size or cost of their
models, and is emphasizing the ba-
sic policy on which the company
founded its success-that of build
ing style and quality rather than
the bare needs of transportation.
Program Means Work
Twenty manufacturing and as
sembly plants operated by Cheyro-
let in the United States, many
other affiliated plants and several
hundred thousand people are at
work again as a result of the COM
pany's embarking on its new pro-
gram at this time.
The six cylinder Chevrolet mot
or, which has proved so reliable
in the hands of 100000 owners
since its debut in 1923, is retained
in the 1893 creation.
.Wheelbase has been extended to
ITO inches. The engine has been
stepped up in horsepower to IS.
I'm appearance the car differs
radically from any previous Chev-
rolet model, the "aer-stream" styl-
ing representing a medium between
conventional streamlining and mod
ified tear drop design, said Mr..
Packer.

pioneers that it happened be-
tween January II, and Janu-

AS a means of cli1ching his
dates, the rancher reminded
his fellow pioneers OF the big
wind that swept the valley sew
eral days before the snow.
"About all we had to live in
was tents" said Forester, "and
tents blew down all oser the
valley. After the wind blew
for three or four days, il rained
three e-fourths of an inch. This
water froze one night and the
big snow fell on top of it,"

Directors today in official ses-
sion unanimously approved the
plan and indications are that the
matter will be placed before voters
at the earliest possible moment. If
favored by district voters, the plan
then will be presented to the bond
holders for their approval. Since
bondholders were represented at
the recent conference, it is hoped
they will accept the committees
recommendation or approval.
Relieves Ranchers
Assurance that ranchers will be
relieved of their burden at this
time and that bondholders would
receive every dollar of their in
yestment created satisfaction at
district headquarters today.
"The new setup is beneficial
to all concerned said John
L. Dubois, president of the
board of directors. "Tf the
program is carried out, it will
prevent the district going fur
ther into default. The plan
anticipates improvement in ag-
ricultural conditions as with
out improvement, the farmer
would find it difficult to pay

federation Urged
Before Rotarians

Yusuke Tsurmi, noted Japanese
stateman and lecturer was speaker
for the Rotary club at its meeting
yesterday in the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Better understanding between
America and Japan was the theme
of his talk, in which he pointed
out that the Japanese people un-
derstand and admire Americans,
following their customs and their
standards of living as far as pos
sible. On the other hand, he stat
ed, Americans know little about
the Japanese standards, and if
they knew more concerning them,
better relations would exist be-
tween the two nations.
Asserting that it is the jingoes in
both countries who receive the
loudest publicity and who are TAX
en- as being representative of the
feeling of the country instead of
the large body of internationally
minded men ad women, the speak
er made a plea for federation and
mutual understanding between his
country and the United States.
Tsurmi was formerly a member
of japanese diet, is a well known
author and lecturer and leader of
one of Japan's liberal parties so
that he is in an excellent position
to interpret his country. He spoke
in Imperial Valley under the aus
pices of the Japanese association.
