GENERAL MCCOY
WILL RETURN BY
WAY OF RUSSIA
BY LYLE c. WILSON
Inited Press Staff Correspondent

lnlteu BrcSS ObdII correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-State
department officials said today that
Mai. Gen. Frank r. Mccoy is ex-
pected to return from his League
of Nations duties in the Orient by
way of Moscow.
No American official has travelled
in Soviet Russian territory since
1929 when Charles Calmer Hart.
American minister to Persia, elected
to cross part of the Communist
state when he was transferred
from the United States legation in
Albania.
There was considerable secrecy
about Hart's trip, department Off
cials requesting that nothing be
published concerning it until Hart
had reached Teheran.
No secrecy attaches to McCay's
plans. State department officials
emphasize, merely, that Mccoy is
not representing the United States
government. The League of Ma
tions wanted an American on the
commission appointed last winter
to investigate Chinese-Japanese re-
lations in connection with develop
mentS in Manchuria. The league
selected Mccoy, with the consent
of this government.
The entire league commission
plans to return by way of Soviet
Russia according to state depart
ment information. Floods and un-
certain rail connections in the
newly created state of Manchukuo
might compel a change in plans.
So far as known, the commits
sion's schedule would require a rail
journey north through Manchukuo
to Harbin and thence west on the
Chinese Eastern railway to its
junction with the transsiberian line
which leads to Moscow.
Although the state department
Goes not depend on casual Ameri-
can official travellers for informa-
ton on Soviet Russian conditions,
McCoy's account of his observa-
tions should be interesting. The
general is highly regarded at the
White House. President Hoover Of
fered him the first permanent ap-
pointment Of major general that
was available after the 1929 in
auguration.
Mccoy likewise is close to Sec
retary of State Stimson. After
Stimson visited Nicaragua as Presi-
dent Coolidge's special representa-
tive and prescribed American super
vision of a general election it was
Mccoy who actually supervised the
pOll.

dairyman, had piled up 1880 votes
in 466 out of 699 precincts and was
ahead of Wright, who had 1905.
1t was a certainty that the two will
fight for the office in November.
j. r. Grey was running third in
the district with 1925 votes.
For the most part, balloting for
superior judgeShips of Los Angeles
county failed to develop outstand-
ing contests between candidates and
II of the % seats apparently had
been filled at the primary on the
basis of more than two-third of
the vote as tabulated by noon.
Pope Leads White
One upset came in the contest
for office in No. Is in which Geor-
gia Bullock was elected over T. B.
Reed, candidate of the bar associa-
ton. She polled 160,334 votes
against 65,681 for Reed. Her other
opposition failed to tally more than
10000 votes.
The most spirited fight came in
office No 18 in which Municipal
Judge James H. Pope was holding
a slim lead over Judge Thomas P.
White, incumbent. 1t was certain
that the contest will not be decided
until November.
Superior Judge Walter S. Gates,
prominent in the recent probe of
state receiverships of the American
Mortgage company, was holding a
five to three lead over Municipal
! Judge Thomas L. Ambrose at noon.
Superior Judge H. Parker Wood

to secure election over Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Daniel Beecher at

expected to carry over to November

to the county treasury must be
made voluntarily. This scale, it
was explained, also touches the
fees paid official court reporters
and others who work on fee
basis, as we'll as those appointive
officers whose salaries are fixed
by law.
Lasts Four Months
This donation to the county
treasury by county officials was
limited by resolution nfrom Sep
tember l to December 81, when an
other meeting will be called to see
if the plan shall be carried still
further.
The sliding scale provides that
each office in the court house is to
give back to the treasury 20 per
cent of the total salary paid there,
on basis ranging from l per cent
on salaries of $1O0 a month to 20
per cent on salaries above $500 a
month. The next step in this plan
will be to secure the consent of all
These donations will go to swell
the salary fund, for which the
supervisors planned, in the budget
adopted Monday, to raise a total of
S171, ,054, by taxation. The budget
also contemplates raising, by taxa
ton, $264, ,293 for the general fund;
$309,624 for elementary schools;
S160, ,139 for high schools; S1026 for
advertising; $216,786 for county
highway bonds and interest;
s22, ,125 for court house bonds and
interest; $16,4O0 for the unap-
propriated reserve, and $4,000 for
the general reserve.
A great reduction in the county
budget, over that of last year, may
be seen from the fact that this
years budget calls for a total of
S1,678,566, while last ytar's called
for S2,018,954. The amount to be
raised by taxation last year totaled
$1,314, 164, while the amount to be
raised by taxation this year is
81, ,165 ,993.
In spite of the reduction in the
amount to be raised by taxation
an increased tax rate was necessary
because of the increased amount to
be raised by schools and also be-
cause of reductions in assessed
valuations.

Forces
Claim Victory

Burnham headquarters in San
Diego advised late this afternoon
that their candidate had apparent
ly taken the Republican nomination
for congressman in the twentieth
district.
Burnhams supporters claimed
l3, ,298 votes to John L. Bacon's total
of 1902, with absent precincts not
having sufficiently large registra-
ton TO change the result. San
Diego papers issued extras today
asserting Burnham's victory.
These extras showed Ernest r..
Utley, Ell Centro candidate for con-
gress on the Democratic district
was apparently facing too heavy a
handicap despite his fine race in
this county.
The San Diego papers count on
this race was, Chandler, 6,780,
Hurley, 4,l82; Utley, 2,l62 and
Crouch, 1,758.

also forged into the front in other
sections except in San Francisco.
His overwhelming victory over
Wardell left state Democratic
circles in a doubtful state.
There was a factional split last
spring when McAdoo, suddenly ap-
pearing on the political horizon,
fought and won California's A
Democratic national convention
votes for Speaker Garner. Wardell
supported Franklin D. Roosevelt
throughout.
When McAdoo switched Califor-
MAS votes from Garner to Roose-
velt, bringing about the latter's
nomination, he tacitly stepped into
Wardells territory and Wardell re-
taliated by accusing the former
secretary of party dislayalty" and
switching for the sake of political
expediency."
1t was after the convention and
Wardell's defeat that he decided to
enter the senatorial race against
McAdoo. In SO doing he opened
the way for McAdoo to seize his
(Wardell's) leadership of the state
party, provided McAdoo was nom-
mated.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81. U.P)
-Tallant Tubbs, vigorous young
state senator and repealist, will op-
pose the Veteran William Gibbs
McAdoo for election to the senator
ial post now held by U. S. Senator
Samuel Shortridge. election returns
from yesterdays statewide primary
indicated today.
Tubbs led Republican primary
ticket of five candidates with 144,-
044 votes. Senator Shortridge was
second with 116,463: the Rev. Rob-
ert (Fighting Bob Shuler, Los
Angeles, has 84,883; Congressman
Joe Grail, Los Angeles, 96,245, and
Leo V. Youngworth, 29,672. The
vote was from 6823 precincts out
of 10,531.
McAdoo. on the political come
back trail, had 139,471 votes, giving
him an apparently safe lead in the
Democratic column. JustuS F. War
dell, San Francisco, his closest rival,
was trailing with 1854 on the basis
of returns from 6823 precincts.
Tubbs made his race on a straight
out prohibition repeal platform.
Senator Shortridge, heretofore a
dry, advocated resubmission of the
18th amendment. Shuler and Grail
ran as drys. Votes for them, politi-
cal observers believed, DETECTED
support that otherwise would have
gone to Shortridge.
McAdoo took the neutral resub-
mission stand on prohibition. War
dell ran as a repealist.
Their battle was a bitter one, in
volving control of the party in CAL
ifornia. Wardell was eclipsed as
nominal leader when McAdoo cap
tured the delegation to the nation
al convention with his Garner
slate, defeating Wardell's Roose-
yelt ticket.
McAdoo's strategy in switching
his delegation of A votes to assure
Franklin D. Roosevelt's nomination
to the presidency was branded by
Wardell as political insincerity.' -

Curb on Use of Loans
Under New Act Urged
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The recent act of Congress establish
ing the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration seems to contain all OF the
necessary provisions of an enabling act,
but it absolutely overlooks any pro-
visions guaranteeing that funds bor-
rowed from the corporation will ulti-
mately be used for the purpose for
which they are borrowed.
If loans made to banks, railroads,
industry and farmers represent merely
an exchange of frozen assets and mere
promises for ready cash, and If this
ready cash is not used for the right
purpose the loaning of it is going to do
the country more harm than good.
IT would seem to me that the mere
assumption on the part of Congress
that the money is going to be properly
used Is not enough. They should exact
record OF performance from borrow
ers and set a penalty for failure to
carry out a predetermined program
which has been made part of the
basis for granting the loan
The time was when a person or COR
poratlon could be depended upon to
use the proceeds of a loan for exactly
the purpose for which it was obtained
The situation now is so bad that people
are seeking to fortify themselves with
cash for fear conditions will get worse
instead of better.
If the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration functions exactly in accord
ance with the spirit of the law it is
capable of pulling this country out of
the hole. If it goes only so far as the
letter of the law it will leave a lot
to be desired. ROBT. F. JONES.

A generation ago Kirk Munroe was
the loved author of thousands of chill
dren, now men and women in the prime
of life. He knew and correSponded
with a great many of his readers many
of whom wrote for his picture and

Did any of you who may see this let
ter know or receive letters from Kirk
Munroe? If so, and you have kept
them, will you be helpful enough to
loan them to the writer for short
time? Great care will be taken OF
them and of any photographs or other
data which you may be able to supply
This life will be story of adventure,

Plea for Lower Rents
In Depression Voiced
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
I would like to ask a question in
The Evening Star which I hope some
body may answer satisfactorily.
Why is it that in this time of de-
preston, when so many have had deep
cuts in their salaries, the rents in our
city are permitted to remain so high?
Budgets which have been worked out
by experts show us that one should
not pay for rent per month more than
he earns per week.
If, then, a man has pfannea the
family budget according to this system,
what is he to do when his salary
has been cut 20 per cent and his land
lord refuses to reduce the rent?
The apartment house owners seem
to be making a speciality of the two
and three room, kitchenette and
dinette apartments and when they do
provide five and six room apartments
they are held at a prohibitive figure.
Cannot some company build apart
ment houses with five-rComS-a and bath
suites, where people Of refinement
would care to live, for the rental sum
of $75? 1t is being done in other
cities Why not here? B. PALMER.
