ABOARD THE PRESIDENTS
SPECIAL TRAIN. EN- ROUTE
ACROSS MONTANA, Aug. T.
(UP).-A frown took the place
of the usual smile on the face o.
Franklin D. Roosevelt yesterday
as the nations chief executive
rode across sun-baked prairless
and a federal official told him Of
the damage done by drought and
insects. =.
Mr.. Roosevelt furrowed his
brow as his train speeded toward
Fort Peck, Mont, and Lawrence
Westbrook, assistant federal en-
ergency relief administrator, re-
lated crop disasters which have
cost this country five billion dol
lars.
Westbrook was one Of num-
Der of government officials sta
toned along the route of the
presidents train. These men
board the train and tell of their
findings regarding federal relief,
the drouth, and other subjects.
Today, the president will have
an opportunity to see at first hand
how widespread has become the
damage by drought and insects.
His train will enter North Dakota
where these troubles have been
most severe. :,
"The drought area is extend.
ing every day." Westbrook told
the president. 1t has extended 3OO
per cent, he said, since congress
adjourned after appropriating q
half billion dollars for drought
sufferers.
So impressed was the president
with the drought report that when
his train reached Havre, Mont, he
made it the subject of rear plat
form address to hundreds of per-
sons who had waited hours under
the burning sun.
"In days to COME" he said, "we
will have to provide not only for
the elimination of drought but for
the elimination Of the conditions
that come from drought. 1t is 60
ing to take long time to do 1t,
but az I said before I think we
are on our way and that you good
people understand it and are sup
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized that
his trip was non-political.
AS he did so, the crowd surged
forward, trying to catch every
word.
1T WISH" he said, "that / had
a loudspeaker on this train, but
there is none"
Then he repeated, almost shout
ing, so that all could hear:
"This is not a political CAM
paign" =,
Among those who boarded the
train at Havre was Arthur Null
| len, ST., of Omaha, Neb., former
vice chairman of the Democratic
I National committee and Roosevelt
floor leader at the Chicago con-
vention.
Mullen told the president that
drought conditions in his state
were worse than any within the

Father of u. S. Retirement Act
Quits Federal Service at 20
Beach One of Foremost
Government Actu.
drial Experts.
CiuiE Service COmn,is.
siOr, Ceremony Held
IL, His Honor.

John Stats Beach, one Of the FORE
most actuarial experts In the, Gov
ernnent, and often referred to by
his associates as the father" OF the
retirement act, is leaving the service
today, having passed his 10th birth
day on December 4.
A ceremony in his honor was ar
ranged at 2 o'clock at the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, where Mr.. Beach is
ending the career that started in
1890, and has been broken only by
four-year business venture.
Native of New York State.
Beach, a native of New Baltimore,
Greene County, N. Y, entered Fed
eral employ as clerk In the census
Office on october /, 1890. and three
years later was transferred to what
was known as the Washington Pen
sion Agency In 1902 he was pro-
NOTED to chief clerk, holding office
until 1908, when he left to engage
in business. Toward the end of this
service, Mr.. Beach, at the direction
of President Theodore Roosevelt,
spent a year as pension agent at Con-
cord, N. H.
When, in 1912, there was created
a disbursing Office in the Bureau
of Pension, Government officials paid
Beach the compliment of asking that
he re-enter service to assist in Set
ting up the new organization, and
President Taft reappointed him by
executive order.
Beach's Work Recognized.
At the time the transfer Of the
retirement unit of the Veterans Ad-
ministration to the Civil Service Com
mission was recommended by Lewis
Merriam of the Brookings Institution,
who has made series OF reorganlZa-
ton studies for the Government. He
directed attention to the retirement
work Mr.. Beach had done, in these
terms:
He (Beach) played an important
part in getting the Federal employees
to support a contributory system and
In urging that it be placed on sound
actuarial basis" Merriam wrote. He
fought gratuity pensions. He has
contributed materially to the gradual
Improvement and development Of the
system. He had the leading part in
organizing and installing the system
after the first retirement law was
passed. He did work quietly, mod
estly and efficiently for compensa-
ton which a life insurance president
would regard as a mere pittance for
the head of one of his minor divisions"
Has Two Daughters.
Beach, who makes his home at the
Riverside Apartments, has two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Kenneth A. McRae, who is
employed at the Navy Department,
and Mrs. Fred G. Schifferdecker of
Selkirk, N. Y. His wife died nine
years ago.
On Thursday, December 81, Beach
will be the dinner guest of the Joint
Conference on Retirement, composed
of representatives of those Federal en-
ploye groups aligned with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.

WASHINGTON. Oct. I5.-With-
out flourish or fanfare, the worlds
great sea powers are gathering in
London this week to decide the fate
Of the epochal naval conference of
1885.
Though the parley will lack the
customary blaze of glory. it can
hardly fail 10 be one Of the most
crucial in postwar disarmament
history. World naval policy may be
completely reorlenated.
With the great powers on the eve
Of naval race, the 1885 conference
today IS in the balance. The odds
are against II ever being held.
II the coming conversations at
London reveal that the major DOW
ers-Britain, America and Japan
are so far apart that their views can
not be reCOnCiled more or less within
existing treaties, the 1885 conference
definitely will be abandoned.
If, on the other hand, the dele
gates now gathering in London de-
eide TO hold the conference, it will
mean the powers have already
reached a pretty definite under
standing. For they are in tacit
agreement that it will be better not
to hold the conference at all than
hold it only to break up in a row.
U. S. Policy Outlined
President Roosevelt's decision to
send Admiral VJi1Iiov, II c+o,,l1o,,
chief Of naval operations, to assist
AmbaSsador-at-larg Norman H.
Davis, indicates that Washington is
fully aware Of the portent of the
conversations.
Indeed United States naval policy
hinges directly upon the turn of
events in London. Our policy calls
for reduction within the limitation
treaties of Washington and London
treaties which stipulate a 3-5-3
ratio respectively for the fleets of
Britain. America and Japan.
If others build, America proposes
to keep pace.
But Japan has already served
notice on the world that she is dis
satisfied with the existing ratio. She
demands what is generally described
as parity. What she really seeks is
equality" with America and Britain.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-Inno-
cent bystanders wounded in the kill
ing Of John Dillinger have no clam
upon the federal government under
existing law. Controller General j.

Mr.. McCarl said that special leg

the government could pay the hos
pital expenses Of persons wounded
when Dillinger was shot down in
Chicago two months ago.
j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the pu-
reau Of investigation of the depart
ment Of justice, recommended a
total disbursement of $625 for three
persons wounded-Miss Eta Natal
ski at the Chicago shooting and
John Morris and John Hoffman in

Controller McCarl ruled that the
government would have been able

been criminals, but that there was
no provision for innocent bystand-

visky operated the bank through
which he defrauded investors Of be-

Bellicose Leon Daudet, Eoyalist
leader, said bluntly today in his
newspaper Action Franchise:
The crime stinks of the Surete
Generate" - the French Scotland
Yard.
There seemed no doubt that poll
teal enemies murdered the magis-
trate, who was a war hero, known
to be fearless, and was determined
to spare no one in his Stavisky tes-
timony.
If that was true, the murderers
killed MIN IN vain. Prince had re-
ceived threats on his life through
the mails for days before his death
and he told friends:
Il really would fear murder-but
there are four or five of us who
know the truth about the Stavisky
case"
Some newspapers warned the gov
eminent that there would be new
riots unless the mystery of Princes
death was cleared UP promptly.
