lights. Dawn found the deck
stirring and over the side went Mr..
Hoover. He settled into a small
boat and when some distance from
the Sequoia he fished. OF his catch
there is no public record. However,
conditions were good for angling
today.
A seaplane circled the Sequoia in
the early morning sun and alighted
with newspapers and mail.
Fine, breezy weather favored Mr..
Hoover. A few minutes after 8
a. m. he returned to the Sequoia,
Shortly thereafter she was headed

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. U.P)-The
constant vigil at the sick bed of
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick
found her "a little more tired" to-
day after she had been exhilirated

condition at Garfield Hospital
with burns suffered when a can
of kerosene exploded while he was
building a fire in the furnace at

screams aroused the neighborhood.
Robert H. Clark, IS, of 1919
Hamlin st. N. E., rushed to the

Clark attempted to beat out the
flames. He finally rolled the boy
over on the ground until the fire
was extinguished.
Clark was taken to Sibley Hos
pital by the fire rescue squad and
was treated for burns to his right
hand and left leg.
The fire in the basement was
quickly put out by firemen.
Charles Ernest Mcdonald, the

TEACHERS P PAY
CUT SCORED

Elimination of all automatic
salary increases for public school
teachers as recommended in the
District appropriations bill re-
ported to the House was severely
criticized today by school Off
cials.
The item, which is expected to
effect a saving of $162,667, was
lamented by DR.. Stephen E.
Kramer, first assistant Superin-
tendent of schools, and Robert
L. Maycock, assistant superin-
tendent.
7 DR.. Kramer declared that this
action will deprive the school
system of experienced teachers.
In Washington, Mr.. Haycock
pointed out, where minimum
teaching salaries are lower than
in many other cities, teachers
entering the service will be at a
distinct disadvantage. Salaries
for elementary school teachers
range from $1.400 to $4,000 and
for high school instructors from
$1,000 to $4,000.

MONEY EXPERTS
PONDER AID To
INVESTORS
Identity Of CounseIors Held
Secret; ParIey Called
Unofficial

The going value" of a
large number Of beautifully
engraved foreign bonds, fol
which American public paid
appr o ximately $8O0,0O0,00O
during the past few years,
was pondered today by ex-
perts invited here by the
State Department.
The bonds, a large proportion
of which we're issued by Central
and South American countries.
are now mostly in default. The
purpose of the conference is to
devise ways and means for pro.
tecting the interests of the Ameri
can bondholders.
Farley Unofficial
The identities Of the experts
have been carefully guarded by
State Department authorities. 1t
was pointed out that the con,
ference is purely informal and
unofficial.
The first meeting this after.
noon will be presided over by
Undersecretary of State Castle
and the departments economic
adviser, Herbert Feis, also
adviser, Herbert Feis.
Result of Quiz
Many of the bonds concerned
are those which prompted the
Johnson investigation conducted
by the Senate Finance Committee
into the part which the State De.
partment played in foreign bond
flotations in this country in 1928
and 1929.
The scalding criticism directed
against the Department by the
Senatorial inquisitors during that
investigation is one of the princi-
pal reasons for State Department
officials emphasis that the pres
ent conference has no official
status.

HOOVER READY
To GIVE HOUSE
SAVING PLAN
Smell Informs Committee That
White House Program Is
Due Before Night

President Hoover planned to
complete his $200,000,000 ma
tional economy program and
submit it to the House Economy
Committee before night, Repre-
sentative Smell of New York,
Republican leader, told the
House today. -
His statement followed that Of
Speaker Garner, who said it was
planned to attach the program
as a rider" to the executive
appropriation bill probably next
Tuesday.
The Presidents plan embraces
the principle of the five-day
week for Government employees
with furloughS to reduce the
Governments labor cost; revision
of allowance for the Veterans
Bureau, consultations, and aboli-
ton of bureaus and activities.
Committee Plan Stands
The committee, however, was
holding to its own pay cut plan
and it was uncertain whether it
would take Mr.. Hoover'S pro-
g--cm in its entirety.
Representative McDuffie CD
Alabama, chairman Of the CON-
mittee, told the House every ef-
fort would be made to complete
the plan so it can be brought to
an issue.
The committee today merely
considered proposals it had al
ready reviewed, particularly sug-
gestions for curtailment of ship
ping board activities.
The Economy Committee, Gar
ner said. has discussed all the
Presidents suggestions and is
now awaiting opportunity to re-
view his revised proposals and
place them in legislative form.
Vet Retrenchment
The committee is also to con-
slider revision of World War Vet
eran allowances as outlined by
Director Hines.
Hines proposals would refuse
allowance, pension and free hos
pitalization to veterans making
income tax returns. Veterans re-
ceiving free disability treatment
in Government hospitals would
be limited to an allowance of SIS
a month or $40 if they have
dependents.
Payments to retired disabled
emergency officers would be
made only if they had served six
months prior to November II,
1918, and the disability could be
directly connected with the
service.

GOLDEN RULE
PROHIBITION
PROPOSED
Suggests Amendment to Con-
Stitution to Leave Matter
Up to States

A new amendment to the
Constitution, permitting States
to obey or reject the Eight
eenth Amendment, was the
unique argument advanced be-
fore a Senate Judiciary sub
committee today by Harry F.
Klinefelter, of Baltimore, gen
eral secretary of the local
Self-Government League.
Mr.. Klinefelter. who spoke
during the prohibition hearings
on various bills to repeal the
Eighteenth Amendment, said he
did not believe it would be pos
sible to repeal it and the better
way was to write a new clause in
the Constitution which he called
"the golden rule amendment"
Cites Bank Accounts
After describing the reign OF
bootlegging in all cities, Mr.
Klinefelter said that he knew
Baltimore bootleggers who bank
immense amounts, and argued
that the Government could never
balance its budget while billions
of untaxed dollars are going to
the underworld. He continued:
"The drys are making pro-
hibitiOn the paramount issue
and the balance of us have got
to do it, too, or stay under the
iron heel of the Anti-SalOOn
League.
Vote For the Issue
1--WE have got to have
direct vote on this thing, taking
prohibition out of party politics
and declining to vote for poll
ticianS just because they are
wet or dry. Canada does not
vote for politicians; she votes
whether she wants liquor or
not, and that is what we should
do in every State in this cOun-
try"

The good thing is shaw's agility of mind At the be-

has known good health. Now Shaw despises doc

patient made the germ sick. Then attack doctors

Still on His Head
Toward the end of the play meet old atheist who
breaks down and cries because his son has become
clergyman-"worse than thief" he says. I have met
dozens of them free thinkers who depored the peculiar
type of free thinking which had led their children
become conservatives radicals whose reactionary chill
dren had been thorn in the flesh. Yet as the char
acte~ appears in the play, you remember the cartoon
drawn by Max Beerbohm, showing the surprise of a
