NEW YORK, April Herbert N.

chant prince brothers." died at his home
In Park avenue late yesterday.

Co., Newark department store. and vice
president Of r. H. Macy & Co. Of New
York, was a brother Of Jesse Isidor
Straus, recently appointed Ambassador
to France. He was 81.
Had Heart AiIment
Straus was said by members of his
family to have been suffering from q
heart ailment the last six weeks.
A native of New York, he was edu-
Gated at Harvard. During the World
War he turned from business to become
q member of the Hoover food admins
tration in Washington and later to serve
as controller of the War Trade Board
The third member Of the triumvirate
of merchant princes" Is Percy s..
Straus, who yesterday succeeded Jesse
Isidor Straus as president Of r. H.
Macy q Co. The latter resigned to
take over the French ambassadorship.
Herbert Nathan Straus was the

Of the Georgia Warm Springs Founda-
ton several years ago.
He already had diverged from the
Democratic trend Of his family, how
ever, by supporting Herbert Hoover for
the presidency. In 1928 he was elected
publican Committee and served for two
years. He was one Of the New York
delegates who nominated Mr.. Hoover
at Kansas City and In December Of
last year he was made treasurer of the
Republican New York Mayoralty Com
mittee for 1893.
Music and philanthropy were among
his avocations. He participated In the
joint gift by the three Straus brothers
Of dormitory to Harvard College, in
memory Of their father, and q profess
sorship In the Graduate School Of
Business Administration at Harvard.
He and Mrs. Straus, who survives him,

found everything from gold and cop
per to iron and coal, they claim, In
the area. According to their protests,
vast stands of beautiful chestnut and
chestnut oak grow where other eyes
have detected only the dead remains Of
the blight invasion.
The Conservation and Development
Commission of Virginia has had to
send its geological survey into the noun
tains to study the, minerals situation
again. It has had to send In its for
esters to reappraise the blight situation,
and SO on down the line.
This new work has now been put into
shape, and presently every court tn the

outs and will set new condemnation
juries to. work.
The Shenandoah Valley had hoped to
see the park open for Garden week and
the famous Apple Blossom Festival at
Winchester. These two events will be
red letter days In the valleys calendar
and everybody is getting ready to give
the crowds that come such a welcome
as crowds have never received before.

PROTESTS LIBRARY
! AND! SCHOOL CUTS
Burroughs Citizens Associa-
ton Terms Congress Action
"Outrageous." o.

Protests against the action Of Con-
gress for what was termed the "out-
rageous and disgraceful" cuts in the
school and library appropriations of the
1894 District bill were voiced last night
in resolution unanimously adopted
ny the Burroughs Citizens Association.
Two Resolutions Adopted.
Two resolutions were adopted by the
association, one limiting its protesta-
tions to the schools and library appro-
priation cuts, and the other indorsing
the action of the civic, trade and educa-
tional groups for their protests, and de-
manding that If the curtailment of
funds remained in their present form
the District real estate taxes be
reduced accordingly. Kenneth P. Arm
strong and Wilbur S. Finch introduced
the resolutions.
Another resolution introduced by Mr..
Finch urged that the President of the
United States recommend to Congress
legislation establishing 'at least for the
duration Of the Governmental reduc-
tions" q proper supervision of rents and
D moratorium upon principal payments
on home mortgages in the District.
It was contended In the resolution
that the payment of reduced rental
and the payment for temporary period
Of only the interest on home mortgages
would not detract from the value of the
property or unduly diminish the capital
or income of the property owner.
Veteran Cuts Cited.
The resolution which also pointed out
the cut in the veterans compensations, J
asked that Congress take action without
the recommendation of the President,
II it was not forthcoming, and dirMDted
copies of the resolution be sent appro-
pirate District and Federal authorities.
The resolution was tabled, so that fur
ther discussion of the matter might be
held at the next meeting.
Mr.. Finch introduced another resolu-
tion also to be studied urging upon Fed
eral and District authorities the desir-
ability Of satisfactory distribution reg
ulations for beer in the District. The
resolution sets forth suggestions as to
the control of the sale of beer here and
was made q special order of business
to be voted upon at the associations
next meeting, on May 4.
The meeting was held in the John
Burroughs School, Mr.. Stockard, pre-
siding.

TINE legal steps preliminary to the
turning over of the Shenan-
doah National Park area to the
L Federal Government are now
entering their final phase and
there is every prospect that the end
of the difficult road will be reached
with considerable promptness.
Already all but few per cent of the
landowners have accepted the values
fixed by the condemnation juries ap-
pointed under the special condemna-
tion law enacted for the acquisition Of
the land, which was declared constitu-
tional under test case carried through
the Virginia Court Of Appeals, the Old
Dominion's Supreme Court.
At the present time the 9O-odd Der
cent of the landowners who have ac-
cepted the awards Of the jllries are al
most ready to go OF the reservation
against the narrow few who are de-
laying the dawn Of the happy day
when they can get their money and
settle themselves in new homes during
such favorable times for buyers.

knits. but Just as violently object
ed to Britishers endeayoring to tell
us what sort of nightgowns, paja-
mas and evening dresses are smart.
And you really can't blame the

why play us for dumb and try TO
pass off pajamas and evening
