Assistant Secretary of State
Explains ALLEGATION of
Cost for Project

A denial that the United States
would pay more than its share
Of the cost of the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence Seaway, under the
treaty with Canada, was made
before the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions subcommittee today by AS
sistant Secretary of State James
Grafton Rogers.
He condemned testimony Of the
opponents of the treaty that the
United States had agreed to as
sumo $40,O00,000 more than its
just share of the expense. He
explained the ALLEGATION Of cost
as follows:
"The United States was given
+ $461, 900 credit for work on the
channels in the Thousand Is
land section, now virtually com.
pleted. It took credit for $780,
100000 expenses incurred in

100000 for construction Of the
new WeIland Ship Canal"
The new expenses in connec'
ton with the deep waterway,
Rogers noted, would be distrib-
uted over a wide area.
Approximately SITS, 200, ,000
would be spent in the Interna'
tional Rapids section and the
rest below this section in Cana
dian territory.
Leaving out the powerhouses
and machinery, he estimated the
cost of the project at $235, 900,
900 for each. This total woulc
include credit for work already
authorized or completed. This
estimate would not include ap
proximately $36,O00,0O0 to be
spent by the United States fol
power machinery. The new cost

u. s. To Pay Cost
Although there is much differ
ence Of opinion over the plan to
submit repeal to State conventions
The Washington times., 1932-11-28

instead of to legislatures, Garner
pointed out that both the Republ1-
can and Democfatic platforms de-
,clared for the convention method.
Two prominent Democratic
legal lights, John w. Davis and
A. Mitchell Palmer, former At
torney General, have held that
it would be the function of Con-
gresS to provide the convention
machinery.
Mr.. Garner said if the resolu.
ton is adopted Congress will be
asked later to pass a bill pro-
viding for the conventions; fix
ing the dates: naming the cities
in which they are to be held
and the delegates to each of the
State conventions.
He then explained that Con-
gress may also authorize the Fed
eral Government to furnish the
funds to carry out each Of the
conventions.
Amazing changes Of sentiment
in the Senate on the prohibition
issue today indicated Congress
can legaliZe beer, within conStitu'
tional limitations.
With Democrats flocking from
the dry standards to the banners
of repeal, resubmission, and modi'
| fication, the Senate now stands
for a new deal in prohibition
after having rejected all proposed
changes for the last IL years.
Groundwork Laid
The groundwork for an actual
change in prohibition laws can
be erected at the Lame Duck ses
sion, provided Democrats take the
initiative in carrying out their
platform pledges.
On beer, Senator Watson, Re.
| publican floor leader, and Sen
ator Robinson, Democratic floor
leader, indorsed 2.75 beer after
voting against it last May.
On resubmiSSion, even Senators
FesS (RO Of Ohio and Hastings
R.) Of Delaware, noted dry
leaders, announced they would
vote for reSubmiSSion-after Op
posing it last summer.
Results Of New Poll
The Senate's change of senti
ment may be portrayed vividly
by a comparison of last Mays
votes with the results of polls
just completed by International
News Service. Including paired
votes with the actual ballots, the
comparison follows:
| On 2.75 Beer
Aye No Unrecorded
Last May =. 20 81 o
I. N. S. Poll. 81 % 6
On Resubmission
Aye No Unrecorded
Last May -. So 27 16
7. N. S. POLL. rs 10 10
The vote for 4 per cent beer
undoubtedly will be less than that
for 2.75-but it will be a comfort
able majority Of the Senate. Only
81 Senators declared for outright
repeal on the poll-not quite
enough for its submission.
The fate of the beer and resub
mission drives at the short session
will rest largely on the tactics pur'
sued by Democratic leaders.

|. LIFE OF SLAIN
j. s. SINGER
While Singing Would Burst
Into Tears, Says Teacher;
Body Dismembered

MILAN, italy, Nov. % Q.N.SO.
Some secret sadness" which
clouded the life of Anna Dersherl,
vocal student, of Rome, N. Y,
may hold the key to the suitcase
murder which for the last two
weeks has baffled Italian detec-
tives, it was learned today.
Although the body was almost
hacked beyond recognition before
it was thrust into three small
suitcases and placed aboard two
different trains bound for Rome,
it has been tentatively identified
as that of Miss Dersherl, who
came to italy some time ago
from France.
Teacher Identifies Her
Clorinda de Rivolta Clarici, a
well-known singing teacher OF
Milan, made the Identification
from q description Of the re-
mains. She said:
"Miss DerSherl had a prom.
Using voice, but often in the
midst of a lesson she would
burst into tears. She suffered
from some secret sadness. /
never could learn what it was"
The teacher said Miss DerSherl
came to her studio three times
a week, carrying on her studies
with the help of small income
from a cousin. She continued:
"She left Milan hurriedIy on
October 20. She told me she
was going to meet some rich
American friend at Genoa and
planned to return to Milan
within three days. She never
came back"
TOenaiIS Manicured
Signora Clerici said Miss Der
sherl had dark brown, wavy hair
as described in the police circular,
adding that her finger and toe
nails were always highly mani
cured.
Two of the suitcases in which
parts of the body had been
packed were found on the Pisa
express when it arrived in Naples
The third suitcase was discovered
on a train reaching Rome. Train
men said the suitcaSes had been
left on the trains by an unidenti-
fled man who deposited them at
Pisa and then disappeared.

ONE Of the largest wrestling turn

at the Washington Auditorium to-

George Manich VS.. Jim Londos.
Jeems whose record, tactics and

making him the greatest gate" attrac-

time.
Manich, although he has made only
two appearances in Washington, stacks
up as the toughest foe LondoS has been
scheduled to face here since his hectic
duelS with Rudy Dusek last Summer
Manich'S chief claims to fame are a
