HERR|OT' s AIM
ON VISIT HERE
TOBE AM|TY

PARIS, April 13 UN.S0.-A de-
sire to render service to my own
country" and cement relations be-
tween the United States and
France lies behind former Premier
Edouard Herriot's projected visit
to the United States, he told the
Anglo American Press Association
at a luncheon today. He said:
'T am going to America to
render services to my own cOun-
try and to increase the friend
ship between France and Amer
lea.
'T am going as . free negOti-
atOr, without engaging In any
way the liberty Of my country
or its parliament"
In the course Of his brief ad-
dress, Herriot referred indirectly
to his insistence that France make
the foreign debt payment to the
United States which fell due last
December Is. This insiStence led
to his downfall as premier when
the chamber Of deputies voted to
defer" the payment.

at Tabor Presbyterian Church.
George C. Scurlock, chairman

make the investigation. The
association also went on record
as opposing the reduction in the
District appropriations for schools.
The body also adopted a reso-
luton flaying the tactics of the
local police in shooting down
fleeing persons. In the resolu-

Commissioners, the body pointed
out that the alibi of self-defense
was not strong enough to be

LAKEHURST N. J. April IL
TINS0 second day Of the
Akron investigation brought us
an interesting point.
The evidence of Lieutenant Com
mander Wiley, who was recalled
as the first witness yesterday to
complete and amplify his state
naents of the day before, brought
out that the ship obviously did
not break up in the air under
the strain of a severe gust.
It gave room for a clear deduc-
tion, that the severe shock to
the ship which preceded the break
ing I'D of the after end was
caused by the lower fin dipping
into the sea while the airship was
travelling at full speed endeavor-
ing to hold its altitude. No other
explanation now could be found
which will fit so perfectly the
jigsaw puzzle evidence OF the
three survivors.
The court Is very much aided
by the witnesses called up until
now. There is no evasion apparent
whatever when the judge adVo-
cate drives home his questions.
Peculiarly apt it is that Com
inander wiley and the other two
survivors were stationed outside
and inside of the hull proper,
respectively, to permit corrobora-
ton of their observations and to
check on the chronological
accuracy or weakness Of their
testimony.
The picture unfolds more and
more and tells us q dramatic
story of the greatest import, the
lessons of which we will not very
soon forget.
It is still too early to draw
definite conclusions or stake an
unmistakable case against any
body or anything.
However, today I have more
than ever the impression that
nothing will be left undone or un-
said that will throw light on the
disaster that moved us so deeply
to compassion, surprise, and
wonder.
One fact will certainly emerge
from this investigation and that
Is that the repetition of this
tragedy can be prevented by
means amply within the control
Of the average man.

QU|NT
WINS SCHOOL
SERIES
BY SID KATZNELL

Well, folks, the interhigh
basketball championship is finally
settled.
Bert Coggins' sturdy collection
of .Sharpshooters representing
Washington's largest high school,
Central, captured the crown yes
terday afternoon on the huge
Tech High floor by whipping
Western High, so to 27.
Tech downed Roosevelt's Rough
Riders in the nightcap to gain
undisputed possession Of third
place, Al to 20. Eastern Lincoln
Parkers finished second, Roose-
velt fourth, and, Of course, West
ern last.
The game was very interesting
at first. Western held a 9-to-8
advantage at the conclusion Of
IL minutes of snappy play, but
faltered as the game progressed.
In fact the rest of the contest
was uninteresting. Central scored
when it choose.
Central Way Ahead
The Mt. Pleasant combination
was ahead at intermission, % to
IL. Western tossers performed
somewhat better in the third
quarter. They were trailing, 80
to 81.
The game was exceptionally
rough at times. Bill Burke, Cen
trails forward and the individual
scoring champion Of the series,
and Mac" Mcpherson, Westerns
guard, were elected from the game
in the fourth quarter when they
roughed each other up a bit.
Schneider, Westerns capable e
guard, was compelled to retire
from the game in the fading
moments of the fourth quarter
on account of four personals,
Shore Leaves Game
Carroll Shore, high scoring
forward of the champion Cen
tral quintet, waved to be taken
out in the second quarter for
some unknown reason. Coach
Coggins granted his wish. How
ever, Shore resumed play at the
beginning of the second half ano
played wonderful game both
extensively and defensively. He
compiled ten points.
Bieri, western forward, played
his first great interhigh game yes
terday. He was high scorer for
his team with eight markers.

favored to win, but it is well to
note that the Deacons have de-
feated North Carolina University,
which team was beaten by "Fod"
Cotton'S five by only a few
points.
Many persons who follow bas-
ketball games insist that the
visiting Deacons will test the
Cardinals to the limit and are
definite with their claims that
Wake Forest will prove a stub
born basketball foe.
Tonight's game is the final
home game of a short season for
the Cardinals, who have curtailed
athletic activities for the year.
Lynch Boys Play
Georgetown and Mt. st. Mary's
will do battle in Tech gym. THE
Mount" boys figure they stand
an even chance to win, despite
the fact that the Hoyas seem to
have hit their real stride. George
towns team during the early por-
ton of the season was constantly
on the verge of flashing rare
form, but always was just short
of it. In the recent West Vir-
ginia game, the Hilltoppers de-
feated sturdy and strong Noun
taineer five by a lopsided score,
seemingly reaching peak ability.
Joe and Tom Lynch, local boys,
are regulars on the Mt. st. Mary'S
team, and many will attend to-
nights game to see them in &C
ton.
Washington College is not con.
sidered strong enough for Mary
lands team. The Old Liners Of.
fered stubborn resistance to the
Southern championship Georgia
team recently, flashing fine form
in that game. Maryland, much
like Georgetown, has been threat.
ening to come through with a
team deserving to be clasSed with
the best, but thus far has es,
tablished a reputation as an in
and-out five.

LEROY DOUGAN
DROPS BOUT
To BURL

Leroy Dougan, hard working
bantamweight from Arkansas,
will have to start all over again
if he wishes to gain another top
match in Portner's Arena in Alex
andria, Va. After four successful
preliminaries in this fiStic taber-
nacle, he was the victim of that
terrific slugger, Eddie Burl, OF
Jacksonville, in an eight-rounder.
Burl swamped all over Dougan
from the opening bell and never
ceased his raking fire. He Stung
the Arkansas boy with a machine
gun attack that often. backed
Dougan into a corner. 1t was
BurIS right that massaged Dou'
gan with a relentless fury, often
finding a vital spot.
Burl captured seven OF the
eight rounds while Dougan earned
a draw. However, one OF the
Judges must have been looking at
the fight with rose colored glasses.
He called the bout a draw.
Roddy Davis. the Capital Linn
tied, was derailed in the first
round of his tiff with Bobby Cos
den, Eastern Shore lightweight.
The ex-Eastern High youngster
took count of eight in the open
ing heat but righted himself and
proceeded to lambast Cosden with
both guns wide open, easily win
ming the verdict after six rounds.
Stumpy Jacobs, Virginia ban
tamweight, and Arthur DeBeve,
veteran French fighter, journeyed
six rounds to a draw. Buddy
Grimes, Norfolk lightweight, re-
ceived a technical knockout over
Doug Swetnam, of this city, when
the latter suffered a fractured
rib in the fifth, while Sailor Joe
Brennan and Henry Irving, local
middleweight. fought to six
round draw. Irving was fouled in
the third but refused to accept
victory by this method and, after
a five-minute rest, continued the
bout.
