 Paul Ludwig Hans Anton vor Beneckendorf und von Hindenbure was bern at Posen, foremrly ir Prussia, now Poznan in Poland October ?, 1847, the son of a Prussian army officer and of a family most of whose sons had for over 300 years adopted a military career.
 Young Paul went to the army as a matter of course, and when at 32 he received his commission as a captain on the general staff, he married Gertiud von Sperling, a girl of 18 The union was happy one, the youthful bride becoming an ideal officers wife. She died in 1921. A son, Oscar, and two daughters, Irmengard and Anne marie, were born to them. Oscar also entered the army, and both daughters married officers. Presi- dent von Hindenburg was a grand father many times over.
 Von Hindenburgs actual exper- fences in battle previous to the great world conflict was gained in the Austro Prussian and Franco Prussian wars.
 In addition to the national hon 
 ors that were conferred upon him 1 for his great victory at Tannen- berg in the World War, von Hin denburg received honored degrees from nine German universities and was made a freeman of as many university towns.
 Koenigsberg, the capital of the liberated province of East Prus- sia, conferred upon him doctorate in all four faculties for having completely defeated and expelled the Muscoyite hordes, thereby say 1 ing the German people from bar barism and achieving imperishable fame"
 Tannenperg was rollpWed a, week later by the battle of the Mazurian Lakes which definitely disposed of the Russian menace to Germany's eastern border. Then by a series of skillful moves, he defeated the Russians again at Lodz, Poland. German hopes rose high when. in l916 placed in supreme com mand of the German armies, he turned his attention to the western front, where he was to meet his master. His name was given to the famous "Hindenburg line" a system of communicating trenches and concrete Qualifications which long withstood assaults by the AL lied armies. But the American support of the Allied offensive after four years of attrition made resistance hopeless. On October 3, 1918, von Hindenburg was called to Berlin and attended the Coun- cil ct which Prince Maximilian of Baden was made Chancellor. There the victor of Tannenberg presented the facts that resulted in the, arm istice proposal to the Allies by Germany, and it was he who con ducted the difficult task of with drawing the dispirited German forces back home and placed the army at the disposal of the reyo- lutionary government.

SEWAGE PLANS
FACE SNAG

A snarl over the patents on
two sewage disposal processes
may delay the start on the
$4,000 PWA sewage disposal
plant at Blue Plains.
The papers in the case are in
the hands of Corporation COM
sci Prettyman today, with a re-
quest from the Commissioners to
ascertain just which process can
be utilized by the District OF
Columbia with the least obliga-
ton to pay royalties.
Representatives of one of the
processes were cloSeted with Com
missioner Sultan today in an ef'
fort to get a contract, but it is
believed the papers may have to
go back to Secretary Ickes for
final determination.
One Of the patents expire in
1886 and the other in 1887: and
the Commissioners hope to deter
mine just which process will be
the more economical.

Closeting themselves behind

experts from all over the world
today took up the problem Of in

The experts, all delegates to the
twenty.ninth annual Congress Of
the Federation Aeronautique Inter
rationale, went into executive ses-
sion early and were to continue
their deliberations throughout the
day at the United States Chamber
Of Commerce.
President Roosevelt will meet
informally delegates at the White
House today at 4 o'clock, in lieu
Of the official tea cancelled yes
terday, and the federation's. ban.
quet will be held at the May.
flower Hotel tomorrow night as
originally scheduled. All other
functions are declared off.
Seek Better Timing
Among the more perplexing
problems faced by the present
congress is that of developing a
method for accurately timing the
speed of high-altitude planes. In
struments in use now are mac
curate above 10000 feet.
Then, too, Great Britain wants
international racing rules altered
before its approaching Melbourne
Croydon air classic. Present rules
require that single airport be
named at capital cities to serve as
official starting and finishing
points.
Unfavorable weather conditions
might prevent contestants from
landing at designated field and
so diSqualify them, the British
filters point out.
Would Loosen Rules
Still another problem laid be-
fore the federation is simplifica-
ton of examinations for flying
radio operators. At present Euro
pean requirements are far too
strict, declare delegates from the
Royal Aero Club of Rumania.
Tomorrow the delegates. who
represent % leading nations Of
the world. will hold two more ex-
ecutive sessions and attend a ban
quet at the Mayflower Hotel.

OFFICIALS SCAN
LUNCH LIST.

A list Of approximately a
thousand junior high school stu
dents entitled to school lunches
under the emergency relief regu-
lationS is being checked today by
Miss Alice Hill, director of
emergency relief, following a a'esn'
plant that these pupils had
been overlooked in the distriblS
ton of school lunches.
Relief officials said today that
the original plans for school
lunches received by them from
school officials did not contain
any mention of junior high
school boys and girls and that
plans had been made for noon
day meals to relief children in
graded schools only.
When the oversight was re.
ported several days ago an effort
was made to get additional FERA
funds for this purpose for October,
but Federal officials refused to
supplement the original $4,000
earmarked for school meals this
month.
The plan at present is to provide
junior high school lunches and
pay for them in part for the time
being out of school cafeteria
profits. District relief officials
will ask for adequate funds tor all
school lunches for next month and
ensuing periods.

Far from falling asleep under
the reign of the Democrats and
their New Deal, Republican
women are staging a real fight
these days-a fight to show their
feminine voters that the Demo
Gratis are only followers in the
business of placing women high
in the Government councils.
This is one of their trump
cards. In every State in the
country, they are attempting to
show that the fanfare made by
the Democrats over their many
appointments of women to high
Governments posts was publicity
to cover up what the Republicans
have done in the past.
OF course. they admit that for
the first time in the history of
the country, a woman-Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins-haS

net.
G.. o. p. BlaZed Trail
But it is to be remembered, they
point out, that the Republicans,
many years ago, "blaZed the
trail' for women's entrance in
the political forefront of the
country. Says Mrs. Ellis A. Yost,
director of the women's division
of the Republican National Com
mittee:
ct was the political trail
blazing by Republican Admins
trations that led to wOmen'S
entrance into practically every
department of Government
service"
Much TODD was made about

that there were six or seven
women in such posts before 1882,

Three men are being held by
police today as an aftermath of a
series of robberies here late yester.
day and early today in which
nearly $1,000 in cash was taken
and jewelry valued at $640 was
stolen.
Two liquor stores and a down
town jewelry shop were victims Of
the robbers. An attempted hold
up of O'Donnell's Restaurant,
1900 block E st. N. w., was folled
by a young woman cashier.
Entering the Star Liquor Store,
500 block Eleventh st. N. w.,
shortly before midnight, two men
forced N. w. Wallack, proprietor,
and several customers and clerks
to stand against a wall while they
scooped up $3.50 in cash.
A short time later they entered

Store, 1000 block D st. N. w., and
took $3.50 from the cash register
and two bottles of liquor.
Shortly after the three stick.

Plot to Intimidate Wei
fare Officials
BY ROGER HAWTHORNE

Working through an organiza-
ton of students of high school
age and younger, Communists are
making an intensive effort to
preach Communist doctrines in
the District public schools it was
revealed today.
The students organization, fos-
tered and financed by the Com
munist party, is known officially
as the National Students League.
Endowed with this innocuous
title, the organization is able to
enroll many of its members with
out their being aware OF Its COM
munistic background.
ALI Pupils Eligible
Washington school children Of
all ages are eligible for admission,
but leaders in the league are con-
centrating on building up the bulk
Of membership with boys and girls
of high school and junior high
school age.
The leagues platform is brief.
It calls for student opposition to
all war; it is anti-Fascist; and for
grade school pupils it demands"
free lunches.
So quietly have sponsors Of the
league been working that school,
officials, until apprised of the
fact by The Washington Times.
were completely unaware of its
existence.
DR.. Stephen E. Kramer, first
assistant superintendent Of public
schools, said when questioned:
II have never heard Of the or
ganizatiOn."
Only two nights before, how
ever, a student member Of the
league appeared at the meeting OF
a local unemployed council, also
a Communist organization, and in
a short talk described the leagues
plans and platform.
The league is already function
ing in local schools, he told the
council.
Craigie In Ignorance
Lieut.. Col. Wallace M. Craigie,
U. S. A., who is in charge of
school cadet military instruction,
is another public school official
denying knowledge of the league,
although it's pacifist principle is
certain to result in an eventual
showdown.
Colonel Craigie recalls, how.
ever, that inflammatory pacifist
literature was placed "by persons
unknown" in lockers of Central
High School cadets several years
ago.
Because the pamphlets were so
inSurrectional in character urging
cadets, for example, to 'rise
against your masters before it is
too late" Colonel Craigie pro-
posed to turn the incident over
to the War Department.
His superiors, however, forbade
him to do so, saying they would
take care of it," There was no
further trouble.

2 More Corporation Counsel
Aides Expected to Leave;
Court Changes Hinted

Resignation of Robert E. Lynch,
assistant corporation counsel, and
appointment of James A. Lauder
dale, 1924 Webster st. N. w., to
the legal staff at the District
Building have revived the open
rumor that three important resig.
nations may be expected in Cor.
poration Counsel Prettyman's Of
fetal family.
The lid is tightly clamped on
all official statements on the sub
iect at the District Building, but
in the legal profession, including
several District officials, there IS
a statement going the rounds that
before December IS designations
will also be handed in from two
well-known attorneys on the cor
poration staff.
Too Many Republicans
The reason ascribed is that the
pressure of the Federal patronage
dispensing end of the Administra-
ton is too much to maintain Re-
publican lawyers on the job.
It is known that Emil Hurja,
powerful political pie slicer for
the Administration, has been
bounding Corporation Counsel
Prettyman for at least one ap-
pointment.
Another minor spot in the Dis
trict government patronage war
fare is the Juvenile Court, where
District Building veterans sense a
complete shake-up.
It is understood that a plan is
afoot to get rid of IA present en-
ployeS, reorganize the set-up Of
the court and appoint a brand
new staff.
The appointments of Mr.. Laud-
erdale in the corporation coun-
sells office make way for promo
lions for Elwood Seal and Chester
Gray, and will place the new man
on the police court staff.
Allen Denies RumOr
Commissioner Allen. who has
jurisdiction over the Corporation
Counsel's office, denied any gen
eral plan for raiding the office in
the interest of politics. He said:
eff there is any such plan
afOOt it is news to me. l don't
say it will not happen, but I am
not advised of it. There has been
lots of talk about patronage
here, but much of it is the re.
suit of fear of the loss of jobs.
However, 1 must say, that much
of the talk about the evils of ap-
pointing lawyers and others
from party ranks is Overdrawn.
Many political appointments
have been of the very highest
type"

Says:

There has been some recent
talk about RFC advancing more
money to banks in order to re-
lease the balance of frozen as
sets. Well, if they're not frozen
too tight, $25,OOO,OOO should cut
q lot of ice.
Financial experts believe that
Mr.. Jesse Jones' action will do
more to loosen up bank deposits
than anything that has hap
pened since Dillinger was In

Money has been so tight, Dor.
rowers are complaining that If
they had the collateral demand"
