State Department for nearly four years.
Mother Disappears.
Welch. an American oil driller. met
and married in Venezuela a young ma
tive girl, Anna Isabel SalaZar. Accord
ing to records 1rma's mother disap-
peared shortly after the child's birth.
WEIGH then determined to get posses
sion Of the baby. Since the child was a
Venezuelan. he encountered difficulties
which ended in his being imprisoned for
about eight months. In July, 1929, the
child was placed in the custody of
Domingo Sevelli by order of the Court
of First Instance and Civil and Com
mercial Cases in the state of Bolivar
During the years of his long fight to
regain custody of the child, Welch re-
ceived little encouragement from the
previous American administration.
Secretary Hull, upon his return from
London, directed that irrespective OF
any claim that WEIGH might or might
not have against the Venezuelan gov
eminent. that first consideration should
be given to restoration of the child to
its father. After protracted diplo-
matte correspondence through the
American legation at Carancus, ar.
rangements were made for Welch tt

RETAIL MEN BAND
T0FURTHER n. R. A.
Committee Organized to Push
"Buy Now" Campaign
in Washington.

A committee of leading Washing
ton retail business operators is being
organized to promote the Buy Now
campaign in the Capital it was an
nounced at noon today, Thomas P. Lit
tlepage. commanding general of the Dis
trict of Columbia N R. A. forces
In making known his plans to name
a special Buy Now" Committee to
function under the standing recovery
group. Mr.. Littlepage characterized the
move as IAN attack on the depression
from an entirely different angle than
anything that has been done before"
I'VE are attacking the depression
with the weapons of salesmanship," Mr..
Littlepage said. We ell know that
during the last three years O. more
there has been great lack Of buying by
individuals, family groups and business
organizations The present Nation
wide campaign is simply drive to get
people to buy things they would have
been buying during the last three years
or SO If it had not been for their fear
complex"
Mr.. Littlepage said he was aware Of
the inability of some people to do any
special buying at this time, but. he said,
they were in the minority. Most peo-
pie in Washington, he said. can make
at least some extra purchases.
THE object of our efforts will be to
convince such persons that it will be to
their interest to buy now the things
that under ordinary circumstances they
would have bought in recent years." he
said. Our people should bear in mind
that just little more spending by each
family in Washington and vicinity will
make all the difference in the world to
the business interests of this city.
1T should be borne in mind that this
is a Nationwide movement to stimulate
buying between now and the end of the
year. This means that not only our
local merchants are going to profit by
our campaign, but also our local indus
tries will derive benefits from the stim-
ulated national demands for products
produced here"
Mr.. Littlepage will name the special
Buy Now" Committee either late today
or early tomorrow following consulta-
ton with his leading associates in the
N. R. A. campaign. Other leaders in
clude Claude Owen, Eta Taggart, James
G. Yaden and James E. Collihower.
The committee will seek to gather
data on increased employment. resump-
ton of business, reopening of banking
institutions. increases in salaries and
reduction of the number of families now
on various welfare lists. This material
will be published locally and will be
forwarded to the National Recovery
Administration headquarters in the De-
partment of Commerce for broadcasting
throughout the country.

Plan to Rescue Busted Cities
(WGU Street JOur7,oI)

OVAL Street J0urn0I)
A suggestion was made re-
Gently to the Roosevelt Admins
tration by a New York attorney,
John w. A. Kelley, that the diff
ficulty presented by the nom
payment of taxes in cities could
be remedied by either the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation
or the new Federal Home Loan
Bank taking over the tax liens
held by the different municipali-
ties and paying the amount of
the taxes represented by the
liens to the municipality. The
Federal agencies would charge
the taxpayer a low rate of inter-
est, and, when the opportunity
arose, either sell the property or
permit the owner to pay off the
lien. In this way the municipali-
ties would Immediately receive
the revenue which they desper-
ately need, the taxpayer would
be given an opportunity to re-
deem the property and the Fed
eral Government would be pro-
tected by security which is su-
perior to any other claim or in
cumberance which might lie
against the property.
The suggestion was that only

It is estimated that more than
$4,000, 900 has been paid out
so far to the descendants of the
Inflated chieftain, or at the av-
erage rate of $4,000 a year.
Meanwhile, in the course of near
ly twenty generations the
spreading ramifcations of the
family must have increased
enormously the number of bene-
ficiaries.

A Tribute by Poe

A piece in this paper about
Bishop Asbury's visit to Chapel
Hill in the year 1900 and the
entry in his diary compliment
ary to Joseph Caldwell, first
president of the University, re-
minds Thomas B. Stroup of an
Item in the Southern Literary
Messenger of December, 1885,
written by Edgar Allan Poe.
"This article" writes Mr..
Stroup, Concerns an grafton,
delivered by Professor Walker
Anderson (Poe mistakenly calls
him Walter) at the Commence
ment of 1885 on The Life and
Character of Rev. Joseph Cald-
well, ID, late President of
the University of North Caro-
lima
Besides quoting copiously
from the sonorous, oratorical
prose of Anderson, and praising
it highly, Poe himself makes the
general comment that DR.. Cald-
we'll was unquestionably great
and good man-and certain are
we that the task of paying trib-
ute to his manifold qualifications
and virtues, now that he is gone,
could not have been committed
to ADLER hands than those of
Professor Anderson.
Anderson was, by the way,
a sort of assistant to President
Caldwell and a professor in the
University who resigned in
1886, emigrated to Florida to
become famous lawyer and the
first Chief Justice Of Florida's
Supreme Court, and was grant
ed the degree of LID. by the
University in 1853
'POe'S comment, seemingly
overlooked by President Battle
Though he does remark that the
Grafton, printed in pamphlet
form, much enhanced the repu-
tation' of Anderson), and chief
ly concerned with the literary
merit of the GRAFTON, is signifi-
cant in that it attests to the
general high regard in which
DR.. Caldwell was held-and in
that it came from the pen of
Poe"
