The Sturtevant put on record draft to
reach Manzanillo at noon today. Mild
unrest was reported in last dispatches
from that city. Naval officials pointed
out that the Claxton, ordered to Guam
tanamo. would be much nearer Man.

at Havana.
President Roosevelt kept close watch
on the situation. His advisers pre-
dicted that all the warships would be
withdrawn shortly.
The Cuban situation was described
as satisfactory by Chairman Pittman

also was expressed by Senator King,
Democrat Of Utah. who for the past
two or three years has insisted this

Although opposed to Intervention,
King said there was no objection to
sending a few ships to protect Amer

countries

create bad impression not only down
there, but elsewhere in Latin America

BATHURST, Gambia, Dec. 4
d.N.SD.-Improvement in weather
conditions late today made it ap-
pear that Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh might take off at any
time on their projected flight
across the South Atlantic to Ma
tai, Brazil.
A tropical calm yesterday pre-
vented their taking off.
A glassy-smooth sea allowed
suction to be created under their
ships huge pontoons, holding the
plane to the water, and lack of
wind left nothing for the big
wings to grip as Colonel Lind
bergh futilely speeded his craft
over the water.
Twice yesterday attempts were
made. Once the ship rose slightly,
but Colonel Lindbergh was not
satisfied and decided to await
better conditions.

On DRY PLEA

Following a two-hour legal bat
tie, Justice F.. Dickinson Let's to-
day announced in District Su-
preme Court that he will hand
down a decision at 10 a. m. to-
morrow on the question of whether
Acting Secretary of State William
Phillips will be prohibited from
issuing a proclamation of the re-
peal amendment.
A prohibitive writ was sought
by die-hard drys on the ground
that some of the SO States which
voted on repeal had not properly
ratified the amendment. The pc
titioners are Canon William Sheafe
Chase, of Brooklyn, and the Rev.
George S. Duncan, of this city.
United States Attorney Lea A.
Rover opposed granting of the
writ on the ground that the Secre-
tary Of State merely performs a
ministerial act in issuing the proc
lamation, and has no authority to
investigate whether the SO States
acted legally in ratifying the
amendment. Rover said, quoting
court opinions, that this duty is
mandatory upon the Cabinet Of
ficer.

today.
A total of 2,993, 800 workers are
employed as a result of expendi-

Directly employed on sites Of
such projects are 247,571, in
cluded in the above figure. The

ties includes 1,183,267 employed
by Civil Works under a $4O0, 0,0OO,-
900 allotment from the public

1ckes said:
"The facts speak for them
selves. Nobody can intelligently
appraise the public works pro-
gram without studying these
figures"
His publication of the figures
at this time was regarded as an
answer, known to be held in
reserve, to criticism of the whole
plan by AL Smith and others.
Ickes added that his figures
represent an "understatement of
the full development of the PWA
today"

unemployment effort, reported
simultaneously that a total of
227,06O had been employed on
Federal projects under his admin

HELD LEGAL
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
The Supreme Court today held
constitutional an act of the South
Carolina legislature providing for
appointment of conservators of
closed banks, the plan used by the
Roosevelt administration for ma
tional banks after the March bank
ing crisis.
It was the first New Deal"
legislative act on which the high
court has handed down a decision.
The decision was unanimous.
In the case before the court,
Hunter A. Gibbes, depositor in the
Central Union Bank of Columbia,
S. c., demanded appointment Of
receiver instead of a conservator.
The South Carolina law was
passed after President Roosevelt
declared a national banking holi-
day in March.
GibbeS alleged that the conserva-
tor plan merely increased ex-
penses, there being no hope of re-
opening the bank: The increase
in expenses, he said, deprived the
depositors of funds which would
be due them.
The South Carolina law thus,
he contended, violated the due
process clause of the Federal Con,
stitution and impaired a contract.
The law also was alleged to be
unconstitutional because it pre-
vented depos' ors from enforcing
double liability against bank
stockholders for an 18-month
period from March Q 1879

ITALY, 8 TOKEN
BY International News Service


The United States today &C
cepted Italy's offer to pay $1,000
900 on the $2,133,9O5 italian debt
installment due this country De
cember Is.
Acting Secretary of State Phil
lips notified Augusta Russo, Italian
ambassador, that this Government
would take note" of the Italian
promise to pay $1,OOO,0OO and not
consider Italy's debt in default.
AS soon as Roso has communi-
Gated the Ameican reply to Rome,
an official announcement will be
made concerning the offer and
acceptance.
The offer represents the same
amount the Italian government
paid last June Is, although the
amount due at that time totalled
$13.545, ,437.
It appears likely to be the
largest percentage payment which
this government will receive from
any of the debtor nations in con-
nection with the December Is pay
ments. In fact, indications are
the United States will be the
loser by nearly $3OO,OOO,OOO on
the amount actually due the mid
