S wendell HEIRS
PICKED IN GERMANY
Court at HaveIberg Names
Two Groups as Proper
Legatees of Estate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVELBERG, Germany, April 49,
The high district court of Branden-
burg has ruled that the heirs to the
$l00,000.0OO fortune left by Ella Wen
del when she died in New York last
year are the groups represented by Mrs
Gertrude Ohsann Kay of San Fran
cisco and Adelaide Elizabeth Kroeger
of Bremen, Germany.
The decision of the high court. rem
dered by Judge Joachim Rudolph, is
not binding, but was regarded here as
necessarily commanding attention in
New York, where the Wendell will,
which has been presented for probate,
faces fight from 1000 claimants.
The decision was given at the con-
clusion of a four day hearing in this
small town 80 miles northwest of
Berlin.
The hearing was held here because
the records of the st. LaurentiuS Evan
gelical Lutheran Church. dating back
as far as 1911, and involving the Wen
del forebears. were available here.
SO Persons Named Heirs.
The ruling named the heirs In a
blanket decision. 1t said SO persons
represented in the Kay claim and the
claim of the Kroegers were the actual
descendants of Johann Sebastian Wen
del, antecedent in direct line to Ella
Wendell.
Baron Karl yon Lewinsky. represent
ing the Americans, submitted brief OF
the case and conducted pleadings on
behalf OF Edward Bloom, San Fran
cisco attorney. The final result was a
46-page document replete with seals
and photographs of the original church
and record and signed by Judge Ru-
dolphi
In his findings the Judge went back
to the early Wendels, eliminating what
he termed non-relatives.
1t was developed during the hearing
that one Of the ancestors of Ella Wen
del, Johann Gottfried HeironymuS Wen
del, was the official eXecutioner in San
dow, Germany, about 1900.
Attorney Won't Comment.
George Flint Warren, ST., attorney
for the Wendell estate in New York,
declined to comment on the decision of
the Havelberg, Germany, judge, recog-
nizing two sets of Wendell heirs.
At this stage of the court litigation
involving the Wendell will, which gave
most of the fortune to charity, April 25
has been set as the date on which Sur
rogate Foley would hear dispute as
to whether the Surrogate's Court Of
New York County or of Westchester
County had jurisdiction to probate the
will

SEE LEGAL BARRIER |
IN MT. VERNON SALE|
Virginia Assembly Consent
Also Needed, Declares
Howard Smith.

A legal obstacle was seen today by
Representative Howard Smith of Alex
andria, Va, to be in the path of the
move for the Federal Government to
acquire Mount Vernon.
He described this difficulty before the
House Public Lands Committee. which
is considering the Treadway resolution
to request the Secretary of the Interior
to ascertain on what terms and con-
ditions the property might be purchased
from the Mount Vernon Ladies Associa-
tion.
Smith referred to the charter under
which it functions and quoted it to
show that the Washington home can
not be sold without the consent of
the Virginia Assembly.
Sees Strong Opposition.
while this bill seems to me to be
rather innocuous, these ladies are op-
posed to it and don't want it enacted
into law" Smith said. "I am sure you
do not want to do futile thing and
the Mount Vernon ladies have no
right to ALLEVIATE the property"
When Representative Leavitt, Repub-
ican, Montana, suggested the resolution
be amended so as to let the Secretary
OF the Interior negotiate with the Com
monwealth of Virginia as we'll as the
association, Smith said he would be op-
posed to that change Representative
Treadway, Republican, Massachusetts,,
author of the resolution, said, however,
he would have no objection.
"The George Washington home should
be a national shrine, no matter how
useful the ladies have BEEN" Treadway
remarked. 1.-THE American people want
1t turned over to the Federal Govern
nent."
Stresses Patriotic Duty.
He criticized two things about the
present administration of the estate:
The 25 cent admission fee and the hours
at which it is open.
THAT patriotic group Of women could
do nothing more patriotic in this year
Of the Bicentennial than to say to the
Secretary of the Interior: Well forego
any individual rights we have and turn
that property over where 1t belongs"
Treadway said.
The committee agreed to take the
resolution up in executive session.

Fine Arts Chairman
Opposes Mt. Vernon
Acquisition by U. S.
Moore Voices Sentiments
ON Shrine Before
ID. A. r. Congress.

Charles Moore, chairman of the Fine
ARTS Commission, went on record last
night before the d. A. r. Congress as
opposing the acquisition of Mount
Vernon by the Federal Government.
Never, I hope" he said, will Mount
Vernon 'be wrested by impersonal gov-
ernment from the tender care of the
women of the Union who saved that
sacred home, who have restored its old
time elegance, and who now maintain
its high estate with love and intelli-
gent devotion"
1t was in connection with an ad-
dress on "Washington-Vision and Re-
ality" that Mr.. Moore expressed his
sentiments about the great American
shrine, linked now, he said, with the
great monuments of the National Capt.
tai by "a glorious highway" and the
Arlington Memorial Bridge.
1.-The opening Of the bridge and
highway this Bicentennial year are the
Nations act of commemoration," he
said.
Quoted on Prediction.
Accustomed to see George Washing
ton reflected in Mount Vernon and the
Washington Monument, Mr.. Moore
pointed out, the country fails to realize
that the larger and truer conception
finds his spirit incarnate in the City
OF Washington as a supreme work of
art.
"A century hence" he quoted Wash
tngton as writing "if this country
keeps united, will produce a city.
though not as large as London, yet of
q magnitude inferior to few others in
Europe"
To Washington, the Nations capital
could only be paper city, Mr.. Moore
declared, "but in its plan he endowed
It with the heritage Of grandeur, dig
nifty and beauty. We OF today are his
heirs"
Protecting Care Required.
Mr.. Moore reminded the d. A. r.
delegates that the National Capital is
theirs to guard and protect.
Ever the City of Washington
abounding in historical associations,
rich in monuments to national heroes,
requires your protecting care and your
intelligent thought, not alone on pa
triotic anniversaries, but at all times, :"
he said. And especially on the No.
vember day when you go to the ballot
box, because the Senators and mem
bers Of Congress you elect are made
by the Constitution Of the United States

CUTTING TELLS
HOW To BRING
PROSPERITY
By BRONSON M. CUTTING

BY BRONSON NJ. CUTTING
Republican Senator from New
Mexico, Who Introduced in the
Senate the Bill for a S5,0OO,,
100000 Bond Issue for a Public
Works Program.
Responding to an inquiry on
my bill for the financing Of a
national program of public works,
1t Is my belief that this measure
is so drawn as to make avail
able Immediately adequate funds
to be spent by the Federal Gov
ernment on necessary public EN-.
ployment.
Eight to ten millions of our
citizens are now wholly unem-
ployed, and probably eight to ten
millions more are working only
TWO or three days a week.
Third of U. S. Wealth
The depression has cost the
workers in wages not less than
$25, 900 600, 900. and it has cost
investors and business men not
less than $1O0,0OO,OOO the total
loss amounting to one-third of
our national wealth.
MY bill provides for the cx-
penditure of $3,000,0O0 on
road construction, the most widely
distributed and most easily ex-
panded form of public work, and
$4,000, 100000 which may be ex-
pended on road construction or
on such other necessary projects
of reforeStation, flood control,
river and harbor Improvements
and public buildings, as the
President may approve.
On road construction alone O.
100000 men could be employed
directly at SIS per day for an en-
tire year. Indirectly, 100000
other men and women would be
employed in making, preparing
and transporting materials for
road construction. Here is
restored purchasing power of
$4,000, 900 900.
This is, however, only fraction
Of the impetus which would be
given to the industrial and com.
mercial life of the nation.
1t is my conviction that if we
do not decide to spend at least
five billions, and possibly more,
in order to put men and women
to work as promptly as possible,
It will cost us many times this
amount in the further deprecia-
tion of all forms of property
values,

New Haven, Sept 6.-That the trunks of trees during clear days of the growing period, shrink in the daytime and expand at night, is graphically shown in growth measurement study now in pro- gress at the Connecticut Agricul- tural Experiment Station. At o'clock in the afternoon. the tree trunk is at its smallest girth, and at 6 o'clock in the morning it registers its largest measurement.
 Dr Raymond KienholZ, ecologist in charge of the experiment, ex- plained that in the daytime the sun withdraws moisture from the tree, which diminishes the diame- ter. At night, then, the tree re- plenishes its store of moisture and the trunk increases in size.
 The minute daily contraction and expansion of the tree are recorded by a remarkable instrument known as the dendrograph. This device is fastened around thet runk. As the diameter changes, it actuates
