MRS,ROOSEVE[7
FEARS CRISIS

With civilization at stake it is
no longer a question of whether
the United States would like to
find a basis to cooperate with
the other half of the world; such
a basis must be found, Mrs
Roosevelt said today at her
weekly conference with the press.
Said Mrs. Roosevelt:
Never before have we been
faced with such a question.
And we are ready to take the
lead if we realize that civiliza-
ton is at stake. We have the
power if we have the will"
Mrs. Roosevelt said she herself
felt very strongly.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had
been interested to find in her
talks with Ishbel Macdonald,
daughter of the British prime
minister, that the young Brftisher
and herself had come to take an
interest in politics through the
same channel. Both had origi.
nally been interested in education
and had found that in a democ-
racy education and politics are in
separable.
Ishbel, says Mrs. Roosevelt, Is
a perfectly charming person"

TARIFF
GET PLACE
IN TALKS
Joint Conference Tomorrow
Will Include Leaders of
Three Nations
Bv GEORGE r. HOLMES

International discussions in
the little economic confer
ence pushed ahead today on
a wide front, taking in none
tary stabilization, disarma-
ment, debts, and trade restric.
tions.
The success, if any, remained
masked behind the stock phrase
of all such international meet
ings:
Progress is being made"
Into the picture today, hither-
to dominated by Anglo-American
conversations, came two new
figures-pudgy Edouard Herriot,
ex-premier Of France; and Rich
ard. B. Bennett, prime minister
Of. Canada.
Cooperation Important
Their cooperation is necessary
in any and all agreements;
France, because Of her dominance
on the continent; Canada, be-
cause of the famous Ottawa
trade agreements, part Of which
must be sacrificed if the con-
ference is to attain that success
for which the Administration
hopes.
AS the discussion entered the
second week, there is complete
accord on two subjects:
l. That the dollar and the
pound sterling should be sta.
bilized as quickly as possible
for the benefit of harassed
commerce;
2. That the general world
economic conference should be
advanced to the earliest pos
Sible date.
The world conference must
ratify any and all agreements, the
discussions in Washington being
designed simply to pave the way
for decisions later.
Values Still Undecided
While there is agreement be-
tween the British and Americans
that the dollar and the pound
sterling should be quickly stabil-
lied, there is no agreement at the
point of stabilization. I was re-
ported that the British were will
ing to peg the pound around $3.50,
with the Americans contending
that it should be nearer 81.
For the time being President
Roosevelt and Premier Ramsay
Macdonald are leaving that detail
to their experts" while they con-
fine their own discussion to the
broader phases Of the worlds
economic pains.
A joint meeting between the
President, Premier Macdonald and
M. Herriot is being arranged and
probably will be held tomorrow.
The French envoy will meet the
President for the first time late

$4,000 During Stay

Judge Walter T. Mccarthy,
in the Arlington county court,
today sentenced e. Wade Ball,
former county treasurer, to
serve two and a half years in
the penitentiary for embezzle-
ment.
Ball was found guilty by a
jury at the last term Of court,
two weeks ago, of misappropriat-
ing county funds.
Immediately after the sentence,
Balls attorneys CrandaN
Mackay and Frank l.. Ball
moved to suspend the execution
Of the sentence for such time as
is necessary to effect an appeal.
.7T.s-sTs Gwen Six Months
This was granted, Judge Nc.
Carthy allowing six months, but
ordering all necessary papers
filed in so days. Ball was placed
under an additional bond Of
$4,000 and ordered to report at
each term OF court
In addition to the motion to
suspend sentence, the attorneys
for Ball also introduced three
motions to have the verdict OF
the jury set aside.
The three motions were:
/. In the arrest of judgment ,
on the ground that the indict-
ment did not charge a crime :
and that the venue of the Of
fense was not proved.
"Was Not An Officer"
2. To set aside the verdict and
enter judgment for the defendant
on the ground that he was not an
officer when the offense IS
charged to have been committed
and the statutes under which he
was tried applies only to officers.
3. To grant a new trial on
the grounds set up in the first
and second motions and further
grounds that the jury was
prejudiced by the letter Of T.
Coleman Andrews, chief auditor,
which accidentally got into the
jury's hands and was highly
prejudicial to the case, and that
the time fixed by the jury is url"
certain and that the statute
under which the defendant was
tried is unconstitutional in deny
ing him equal protection and
due process of law.

VASKO FAMILY BACK HOME FROM
 EASTER OUTING
They Did Not Run Away Said Father - They Were Pestered and Wanted a Rest

Hastings on- Hudson, N. r., April 18.-(UP)-The narrow, dead-end alley leading to the John Vasko home was barred to the public to- day so that two-year-old Helen and her family, back from an Eas- ter visit, might be spared from the interference of curious crowds. The crowds were attracted by news that a court was considering an order compelling Helen's parents to per init an operation on her left eye. which physicians say is necessary to save her life. The parents have opposed the operation.
 Vasko, a. laborer receiving $15 a week on an unemployment relief project, became so annoyed by the crowds that he disappeared Satur- day with all the family.
 | Just after midnight this morning he reappeared, at the home of Police Commissioner Frederick H Charles. He had not left the city or the jurisdiction of the court, he explained, but had packed few belongings in small bag and taken his wife and Helen and hei two sisters to the home of cou- sin, John Zebavnik, mile away so that they might have a quiet weekend.
 "We didn't run away" he said. "We are good citizens. We are en- titled to peace and quiet. My wife is sick and my daughters are sick and they have to be quiet. There are too many people at my home, too many cameras. too many lights"
 Charles assured the man he would instruct the towns three policemen to bar the street to all persons except residents and those with legitimate business. Vasko said he would take his family home this morning.
 The father indicated he still was opposed to an operation on Helen. who was examined four weeks ago by Dr Angelo Smith. Yonkers eye specialist. Smith said the child would not live more than two months unless malignant tumor in her eye were removed before 1t had chance to reach the brain.
 An operation was ordered by Judge George Smyth of the Vest chester children's court but stayed pending decision of the supreme courts appellate division. Judge Smyth himself underwent an op- eration yesterday, and was report ed to be recovering.

MISSIONARY IS GAINING MANY
 GOOD FRIENDS
Mrs Pearl Buck, Accused of Heresy By One Min= ister, Has Others De- lending Her Name

New York, April 18.-(UP)- Presbyterian church officials will ask Mrs Pearl s. Buck, missionary and author of two "best seller" novels on China, for a friendly in- terview to talk over a heresy charge and criticism of her writ ings about missionaries and her treatment of sex.
 This was made known after meeting yesterday of the Presby- terian board of foreign missions. at which several members deplored heresy charges leveled at Mrs Buck and pr J. Gresham Machen of Philadelphia, fundamentalist min ister, and made 1t clear they did not share his views.
 "Ours is a feeling of friendly CO., operation, 8 desire to understand and arrange a hard matter" said Dr Cleland B. McAffe, junior secre- tary of the board which will inter view Mrs Buck. We are not in- quisitors."
 Machen's charges were made public at a meeting of the New Brunswick, N. J., presbytery, when he accused Mrs Buck of disbelief in the deity of Christ. and asked what disciplinary action the board intended to take against her. Dr Robert F. Speer, the boards senior secretary, replied that her case was under consideration"
 McAfee explained this statement was not to be interpreted as mean ing the boards feeling toward Mrs Buck was the same as Machen's. But other criticism of Mrs Bucks writings especially 6 recent maga- zine attack on marrow mission aries" and the frank treatment of sex in her novels have reached the board and the executive council asked for an interview.
 "The whole business Is thorough ly regrettable," said Dr Charles S.. Erdman, president of the board. What the result of Dr Machen's action will be I cannot say. He was voted down five or six to one by his own presbytery. Now he is taking his charges to the Philadel- phia presbytery. We have 201 presbyteries and some of them are very conservative. Dr Machen is exceedingly sure of his own posi- ton always, and very persistent. He may find one that will approve him. Without that, nothing can happen, as far as he is concerned, for unless a presbytery presents the charges in an overture to the gen. eral assembly of the church next May the assembly cannot act"
