NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The New
York Boxing Commissitn n, nettled
at the reports that its physicians
were negligent in their examina-
tion of wrestlers, many of whom
it is alleged, are said to be af-
flicted with trachoma, a serious
eye disease, denies that the grap-
piers are not subjected to as thor
ough' an examination as are
boxers.
The mitt soIons announced that
each and every rassler goes
through the same examination to
determine his physical fitness as
does the fighter, before being per-
mitted to ply his wares and so far
as they know, no wrestler, unfit,
is allowed to work.

WALLACE SIGNS
FRUITS CODE

Apples, pears, plums and other
tree fruits grown in four Western
States are covered in a new mar
keting agreement brought before
the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration and signed today by
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace.
An important phase of the pact
is the licensing of the producers
in the territory affected, which in.
cludes the States Of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
While growers representing SO per
cent of the production in the To-
cality sponsored the agreement,
all producers in the same locality
must abide by its rules or have
their licenses removed, which
would put them out of business.
Purpose of the licensing provi-
sions, it was explained, was to pre-
vent a small minority Of "chiSel-
ers" from curbing the benefits to
be derived from the code. De-
mand of the Northwest fruit
shippers for the licensing was
strengthened by the recent grant"
ing Of an injunction against a can
ner licensed under the California
peach marketing agreement.

UNIT MILK CODE
UP To WALLACE

Plans for a national milk code,
based on. but supplanting the
dozens of local milk agreements
put into operation by the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
tion, have been developed by the
dairy section of the farm agency
and presented to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace for his in
Spection.
Details Of the scheme probably
will be announced within the
next few days. Complications
known to face such a country
wide pact are the differences be-
tween health and sanitary regula-
tions in many localities, and diff
ferences among the actual pro-
ducing and marketing conditions
of various parts of the nation.
If the plans now before Secre-
tary Wallace call for putting a
national code into operation
shortly, it was pointed out, an
agreement for the Washington

factions Of the local dairy indus.

to This Country

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 GN.SO.
Armed with a Federal warrant for
his arrest, Government agents to-
day pressed land and sea search
for Heinz Spanknoebel. reputed
Nazi leader and propagandist in
this country.
The warrant, charging Span
knoebel acted in the United States
as an agent for the German gov
ernment without being an accred-
tied member or attache OF either
the diplomatic or consular SER
vices, was issued by Commissioner
F.. A. O'Neill on a complaint by
United States Attorney George z.
Medalie.
Federal agents Immediately be-
gan q search for Spanknoebel,
missing since Tuesday night and
not heard from since last Wednes-
day, when Mayor John p. OBricn
banned a German Day rally at
which Spanknoebel was to have
been a chief speaker.

Nazi propagandist in Yorkville.
the Little Berlin" Of New York,
claimed to have no knowledge OF
his whereabouts.
On the basis Of reports that
Spanknoehel had sailed incognito
for Germany on the liner Deutsch-
land earlier this week, agents Of
the line said he was not listed
among the passengers and that
they had no information that he
may have sailed under another
name.
The complaint filed by Medalie
resulted, tie Federal attorney
said, from charges by Victor F.
and Bernard H. Ridder, influen-
tial German-American publishers,
that Spankroebel mad showed
them credentials purporting to
show he represented the official
publicity bureau Of the Hitler
government.
Ordered From Office
Spanknoebel, according to the
Ridders, told them he was dele.
gated to take charge Of German
American societies and affairs in
this country and demanded that
their publications submit to his
supervision.
Bernard Ridder told Medalie he
ordered Spanknoebel from his Of
flee.
Spanknoebel was disowned by
the Germany embassy in Wash
ington, which announced he had
no official connection with the
German government.

PARLEY ON DEBT
SEEN DOOMED
To FAILURE
No Concrete Plan Advanced
BY British for Settle
ment of Loans
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Negotiations for the settlement
of Great Britain's $4,000 900
debt to the United States have
begged down.
They have not collapsed entire
ly; no deadlock has been reached
but thus far the British have
been unable to propose anything
sufficiently attractive for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to pass along to
Congress, which has the final
voice in the matter.
When Lindsay SnOOzed
Consequently, it is expected that
Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, chief of
the British debt mission, will sail
for home within fortnight to re-
port to his government. Sir Fred
erick has been in Washington al
most month with T. K. Bewley,
British treasury expert, holding
irregular meetings with Treasury
officials. At one Of these meet
ings, Sir Ronald Lindsay, British
ambassador, is reported to have
gone to sleep, which is an eloquent
commentary upon the nature Of
them.
No definite, concrete PROPOSE
ton has been advanced by the
British, according to reliable au-
thorlty. The nearest approach to
1t was a suggestion that the pay
ments be scaled down to, approxi-
mately 10 cents on the dollar and
spread over period of years, but
even this was not put into con-
crete form. Under Secretary of
the Treasury Dean Acheson in
dlcated this was totally unaccept-
able to the United States and the
matter was not pressed.
The dime-a-d idea was
based upon the Lausanne agree
ment, wherein Germany's credit
orS agreed to scale down uncol-
lectible payments provided the
United States entered into a SIM
liar agreement concerning debts
due from the Allies. Ramsay
Macdonald, British prime minis
ter, emphasized the desirability of
this plan in his opening speech
to the World Economic Confer
ence in London last June.
Want British to Act
American negotiators have pro-
posed nothing to the British. TAX
ing their cue from President
Roosevelt, they have assumed the
position that the present confer
ence was not of American initia-
tive, and that propositions, if any,
should come from the British.
The stalemate in the negotia-
tionS poses question for the
British as to what to do about
future payments. The next is
due December IS and amounts to
about SILT, 100000.
The belief exists that Britain
will meet this, as she did her June
inStallment, by so-called token
payment" amounting to approxi-
mately 10 per cent of the amount
due.

istics, we are dealing with a
damaged link. This link is the
thyroid gland in the neck, and its
failure to function properly has
caused a distinction of the
adrenal gland, located just above
the kidneys.
Thyroid Gland Removed
We have removed the thyroid.

place in her body, and which
even included the facial charac-
teristics. 1t will be weeks before
we can say with any certainty.
If our course of treatment is

will again assume her former fem

It should not be understood
that this woman is becoming q

Importance Of careful medical
supervision cannot be too strongly
stressed. Standardization with

gerous but is likely to prove fatal.
Unscientific dieting is equally
dangerous.
Another Strange Case
Another case on our hands Is
that of a boy of seven, mentally
normal. He has no hair on his
head, no eyebrows, no eyelashes.
This is a Frohlick syndrome-a
complex of symptoms resulting in
changes in the secondary sex
characteristic, with development
of feminine characteristics.
This probably is case Of lesion
of the pituitary gland at the base

chance of cure while the patient
is in the growing stage, but if the
boy were to become a man with
out treatment, he would always
remain in the Huckleberry Finn
stage of mental development.

ALDNCH MOVE PICTURED AS NEW DEAL FOR CHASE BANK
Found White House
Gloomy, Widow of
freddy" Recalls

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, widow Of the
President, described some Of her
White House days to an audience
Of several hundred high school
students who are members of
school Roosevelt clubs yesterday
afternoon at Roosevelt House.
This was the first time that Mrs.
Roosevelt, long noted for her reti-
cence, had talked in reminiscent
vein to a public gathering at
Roosevelt House.
She was inspired, she said, by
her desire to take the place Of the
late Mrs. Douglas Robinson, Theo-
dore Roosevelt's sister, who fire.
quently told stories about her
brother to the school children at
Roosevelt House.
White House Gloomy
How Theodore Roosevelt's wife
found the White House on her ar
rival the gloomieSt place she ever
saw, and sent word to oyster Bay,
"Send me as many children as
you possibly cam; how she had
great difficulty in preventing her
children from being spoiled by
White House attentions, and how,
when she was very tired, their
mice little voices" rested her
these were among the glimpseS Of
White House life which she per-
mitted to her young hearers.
She said:
81 went to the White House
SO long ago that it seems now
rs II nobody in the world re-
members it but me-"
She described how she and her
husband received the news Of the
death of President Mckinley in
the Adirondacks camp, where she
had taken her children after an
illness, and where the camp
kitchen was always full Of funny
little trousers and skirts drying
on the rack" because her children
would fall into the headwaters Of
the Hudson.
Alone in Camp
Mr.. Roosevelt had departed on
an overnight climb to Mount
Marcy and she was alone at the
camp when the news came, but
guides soon carried the word up
the trail and Mr.. Roosevelt set
out at once for Buffalo. His wife
had to take "all those children"
to oyster Bay and then go on to
Washington.
"Our arrival at the White
House was one Of the SaddeSt
things I have ever seen. It is

That word is bargain" as it is
written into the portion of the
act guaranteeing workers the
right to bargain collectively"
with their employers.
Edsel Ford told General john
son some weeks ago, johnson
said, that the Ford Motor Com
pany never would consent to "bar-
gain collectively" with its en-
ployes.
Johnson, therefore, holds that
Ford has failed to comply with
the automobile code, which con-

guarantee intact as one Of its
provisions. johnson said he be-
lieved this constituted an covert

Steel company operators Of cap

tives of strikers at the mines.
At the Presidents command
the Steel officials met with the
miners representative, Philip
Murray. vice president Of the
United Mine Workers.
They were told to "enter at
once in good faith" on negotia-
tions for a suitable wage agree
ment with the union, but Murray
has charged that the steel Off
cials only met" with him and
did not bargain" at all. They
refused to make any concessions
and the negotiations were broken
off.
