this country Now, he says, there
are about 10000.
The United States has Jagged
behind all other countries, Dr.
Rudy claims. There are about
five or six millions in the world
using the language, Japan being
most advanced.
Forty years ago he read his
first pamphlet on Esperanto.
Since that time DR.. Rudy has pub
lished numerous pamphlets and
articles on the subject.
DR.. Rudy says he is interested

DANCER FALLS
INTO LAKE

CHICAGO, Aug. ii G.N.S).-
Sally Rand folded up the fans
that won her fame in the Streets
of Paris at the Worlds Fair and
headed today for a stage and
screen career.
But mishap that chilled her
more than the icy stares of police
morals inspectors occurred when
she left the Worlds Fair grounds
at midnight. She fell screaming
into Lake Michigan.
Miss Rand tumbled from a
speedboat that was bearing her to
Navy pier. She was pulled out of
the lake.. and was taken to the
coast guard station and there re-
vived.
The pretty dancer suddenly ter.
minated her engagement at the
fair last night. Salary differences
were said to be the reason.
A jury has yet to pass on Miss
Rand's dance which, it was
charged, displayed too much OF
her anatomy.

Preaching Urged
To SaUe Nation

Preaching from the pulpit is
necessary to save the nation from
lust, greed, decay, atheism and
death, the Rev. Charles B. Aus
tin told the congregation of the
West Washington Baptist Church
of which he is pastor, yesterday
He declared:
''It is essential to save the
nation from greed, lust, selfish
ness, atheism, defeat, decay,
doom and death. The moral
safety of the nation and of the
world is largely in keeping of
the Christian pulpit. 1t is
impossible to build great
church without the preaching

INDUSTRY
CODE AWAITED
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The moving picture industry,
one of the nations largest, was
near an agreement on code of
fair competition to be submitted
to the NRA, according to word re-
ceived by Deputy Administrator
Sol Rosenblatt today.
The film industry code commit
tee is nearing the end of its long
session in New York. The aim, it
was said, is to provide one code
for production, distribution, and
exhibition.
Advisers of the NRA frowned
upon suggestions that the film
producers use the code as vehicle
for an agreement to slice the
salaries of motion picture stars
and to halt the practice of out
bidding each other.
Meantime, all facts in the Holly
wood film strike were assembled,
to be laid before meeting of the
National Labor Board this week.
Rosenblatt began work today on
the legitimate theater code, opti-
mistic over the chances of bring
ing the stage into the NRA this
week.

Plead for Order

NEW YORK, Aug. IA G.N.S0
Cubans in all parts of the United

DR.. Carlos de la Tore, head of
the junta which worked in New

Machado.
Colonel Mendieta and his asso-

to the Cuban people to end vic,
lence. The statement was cabled
to Havana for publication. DR.
de la Tore said:
"All Cuba will be sOIidIy be-
hind the new President, DR..
De CespedeS. We know he will
inaugurate a regime in which
the civil rights of the common
people, so long trampled under
foot, will be protected. No

Two major problems face
officials of NRA today when they
take up consideration of codes.
One is proposed code for

Each group wants the matter
of wages and hours ironed out

Smith urged enactment of a l
per cent manufacturers sales tax to
help balance the budget so that the
government would be able to throw

it,"
He favored lower interest rates

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Presi-
dent-elect Franklin d. Roosevelt's
cabinet is recognized here today as
a collection of workaday, but not
unusually brilliant advisors, who
will look to him for guidance on
every policy affecting each indi-
viduals department.
The most striking characteristic
of the group as seen by Capitol Hill
observers is its co-operativeneSS.
There is no figure likely to domi-
nate the President or the admins
tration, in the politicians opinion,
as Charles Evans Hughes did in the
Harding cabinet and Andrew w.
Mellon under Calvin Coolidge.
With the possible exception of
Senator Thomas j. Walsh Cd, Month
and Senator Cordell Hull Cd,
Tenn, there are no members who
have been before the national pub
lie in leading role. These choices

The others have been intimate as
sociateS in New York, like James A.
Farley, Frances Perkins md William
H: Woodin, or they are cid cronies
from the days when he 7erved under
Mr.. Wilson as assistant navy sc re-
tary.
He and Ex-Governor George H.
Dern of Utah, the selection for sec
rotary of war, struck up strong
friendship during the e-conven-
ton and presidential campaign.
Senator Claude A. Swanson Dem,
Va0, who will head the navy de-
partment, was ranking Democrat on
the senate appropriations commit
tee from 1912 to 1920, and frequent
~ gave advice to the then hustling
young assistant navy secretary.
This relationship is counted on to
lead to more effective teamwork
than recent administrations have
developed. and a lack of the fric-
ton which develops even in the best
OF all possible cabinets.

Chinese forces defending the line

This haison was noted and COM
mented on during the period when
the group was being chosen. Not
in years has so little real, inside in
formation leaked out as to the per-
sonalities of a cabinet and the
places they would occupy.
Until a few weeks ago, only two
of the eventual nominees were
agreed upon by the press and poll
ticians as final choices-Farley and
Miss Perkins.
AS between liberals and conserv-
atives, the cabinet is thought to
be well-balanced. Senator Walsh,
Miss Perkins, Wallace and Ickes
are regarded as of progressive ten

Farley is difficult of classification
and the rest incline toward the
conservative side.
Senator Hull always has been an
