Presentation to Congress
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov.
"a G.N.SD.-Fortified with de-
tailed reports and comprehensive
data supplied by his power and
rehabilitation advisers, President
Roosevelt today began prepara-
ton of the broad program en-
bracipg his future plans in this
field which will go to the new Con-
press.
Up to the present all informa'
ton available on the plans of the
Administration lay in the pro-
nouncements of the Executive in
his address at Tupelo, Miss, last
Sunday. There he praised the
work which his Tennessee Valley
authority is doing, and predicted
it would be copied In every State
in the union.
An all-day conference with his
advisors acquainted the President
with conditions and pointed his
mind toward the specific develop
ments which he wants in the fu.
ture.
Both Chairman Frank R. Nc
Ninch and Vice Chairman Basil
Manly of the Federal Power
Commission were here. Besides
these were David E. Lilienthal,
one Of the IVA directors, and
Morris L. Cook, chairman of the
water resources subcommittee of
the National Resources Board.

No one testifying knew the
name of this woman doctor, or
of the parents of Billy, Doris, Rob

Expected $40 Monthly
Mrs. Manuel, shortly before she
took possession of Billy, the old
est, told witnesses that she was
going to get the boy and would
be paid $40 a monh for his keep.
Presumably she was paid for
caring for the other three.
All four, according to evidence,
show signs of malnutrition and
ill-treatment. The older two,
Billy and Doris. were hired out"
to neighbors of Mrs. Manuel in
Maryland, their pitiful earnings
pocketed by the woman. At
home they were required to do
tasks beyond their strength, wit
nesses testified.
Miss Agnes Duvall, welfare
worker in Prince Georges county.
Md, told the court Mrs. Manuel
had formerly lived with the three
older children in Maryland. She
had been under investigation when
she moved to the District.
Couldn't Trace Births
During the Maryland investiga-

welfare bureau had attempted in
vain to find birth certificates Of
the children.
Members of Mrs. Manuel's own
family testified that they had
been in disagreement with the
woman for some time and were

knew, they said, nothing of the
origin of the children other than
that the unidentified woman doc

Vanderbilt attacked Supreme
Court Justice Carew's disposition
of the custody of her daughter,
Gloria, as indecisive on two points,
in a petition attached to her

today.
The papers, calling on the jus

not either grant or deny Mrs
Vanderbilt's appeal for full Gus

be filed Friday.
Throughout the petition, Mrs.
Vanderbilt indicated she was bit
terly opposed to the decision
granting Gloria'S custody to her
aunt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney,
except for week-ends.
The mother said Justice Carew
had agreed that Mrs. Emma Sui
Ivan Keislich, nurse who took
the child to Mrs. Whitney'S, be
discharged within a month, and
that. Mrs. Vanderbilt should
Superintend the religious educa'
ton of Gloria. Neither stipula-

the violent controversy and the
national attention to the news
of wide difference of opinion
as to whether the Administration
should put the Government in
business or whether it should let
private finances carry on the

made concerning his views.

COURT UPHELD
IN HOME PROBE

The right of Juvenile Court to
inquire into home surroundings
of children of divorced parents
after a similar inquisition has
been made by the District Su-
preme Court was upheld in On
opinion rendered today by Justice
Alfred A. Wheat in District Su-
preme Court.
The ruling was made in the
case of Terzo Lugaresi, who had
asked an injunction against Judge
Fay Bentley of Juvenile Court.
Mr.. Lugaresi obtained an abso-
lutte divorce and custody of his
daughter, Betty, s, from Mrs.
Nettie Lugaresi in November,
1882. Several months ago, the
divorced wife petitioned District
Supreme Court to take the child
from the fathers custody on the
ground he maintained her in an
unfit home, but after a hearing
the court rejected the petition.
Later. proceedings were insti-
tuted in Juvenile Court on sim
liar complaint. The father
claimed the question had been
adjudicated, but Judge Bentley
assumed Jurisdiction. The father
then sought the injunction.

Japan to Abrogate
Navy Pact Dec. 10

TOKYO, Nov. "a G.NSD.-De-
cember 10 has been fixed as the
date on which Japan will Ahrogate
the Washington Naval Treaty, &C.
cording to the Tokyo press today.
This would bring the renuncia.
ton before the end of the year,
in line with previous declarations
Of Japanese statesmen, and thus
automatically end the Washing
ton agreement and its 5-5-3 naval
ratio at the end of 1896.
Also it would necessitate a con-
ference during 1885 between sig.
natorieS Of the treaty.
Preliminary communications
with the signatory powers will pre-
cede the abrogation, the press
said.
Word that the date for abroga-
ton of the treaty had been agreed
upon was published along with
accounts from London that the
preliminary naval discussions
there had collapsed utterly.

BLAIR FURNACE
GETSCLEAN|NC

The Blair School, scene of the
recent mothers strike" for a new
furnace. was being vacuum
cleaned today.
About a dozen workmen began
their furnace cleaning early in
the morning and were to continue
until tonight. Tomorrow, even
though it is Sunday, they will
pick up where they left off to-
night to complete the job before
school bells ring Monday morning.
The object of the cleansing &C,
tivity is to rid the hot air heat
ing plant of all the dirt and coal
dust which has been endanger'
ing the health of children at
tending school.
A representative of the Holland
Furnace Company, which is do
ing the job. described the school
furnace as "the dirtiest out of
800 furnaces we have cleaned
within recent months"
In addition to the cleaning, the
"strike" of the mothers has
brought about other needed re-
pairs, including reconstruction Of
the brick work inside the two
furnaces, closing up of several
leakages in smoke pipes and re.
building parts of the chimney
which have been damaged by ex-
posure.
Mothers of children attending
the school last week threatened
to keep their children out of school
until the District Commissioners
promised them a new furnace
The city heads promised to repair
the heating plant Immediately and
to obtain a new furnace as soon
as possible.

Wins Note By

BOSTON, Nov "a G.N.S).
There's a big "NRA" smile to-
day on the pale face of little
11ayear-old Joseph O'Brien. a
patient at the Boston Floating
Hospital, for he has received
a letter from the President Of
the United States.
Joe got the letter through
his NRA activities. When nurses
and doctors at the hospital,
started a game called "NRA"
at the hospital in an effort to
make Joe eat the nourishing
food he needed, Joe did his
part.
The boys mother explained
that the day after her son
came off the dangerous list on
November 13, Miss Sarah A.
Egan, superintendent of the
hospital, wrote President @2oose-
velt to tell the part the Blue
Eagle was playing in Joseph'S
cure.
The letter which resulted
reads:
Il have just learned Of your
illness and do hope that by
now you are very much i'm

THOMAS BACKS
LUMP SUM
INCREASE
Senator Declares in Favor of
Larger U. S. Contribution
to District Finances

Advocates of the proposal to in
crease the lump sum contribution
of the Federal Government to
District expenses gained another
important recruit today in Sen
ator Elmer Thomas CD Of Okla
homa.
The Oklahoman, who has just
returned to the Capital, will have
much to say concerning this mat
ter, since he is the chairman Of
the Senate District appropriations
subcommittee-the group that is
in charge Of the matter in the
Upper House.
FavOrS Boost
Informed that the District Com.
miSSioners have asked the Bureau
of the Budget to increase the lump
sum by some $2,50O,000 over the
$5,700,000 granted last year, Sen
ator Thomas said:
II shall be glad to do what
ever 1 can toward securing the
amount the Commissioners have
recommended for the District,
and I hope that the Congress
will approve it."
Up to the present time, it ap-
pears that chances for the Dis.
trict being awarded a lump sum
of almost 100000 are bright.
President Favorable
The Commissioners have made
such a recommendation to the
Bureau of the Budget, and it is
reliably understood that tn e
President is inclined to approve
the Commissioners recommends
tions.
With Senator Thomas indorse.
ment of the proposal, it leaves
only one possible source of dis
agreement - the House subcom-
mittee on the District appropri-
ations bill, the chairman and
members of which have not yet

EXPERT
IS D, {. MAN
How long is long?

How long is long?
You'll get the answer to that
only from a metaphysician, prob
ably, but if you want to know how
long an inch is, or a foot, a yard
or a meter, the man to see is DR.
Lewis v. Judson at the Bureau Of
Standards.
He knows as much about meas
urements of length as any man ir
this country. In fact, it's pretty
sure bet he knows more than any
other.
DR.. Judson, who lives in the
3400 block Northampton St.
Chevy Chase, has spent II years
in his Bureau of Standards labo
ratory determining an accurate
means of measuring "fundamen
tal' lengths.
Line Measurements
It was due chiefly to his tech
nical skill that a Swiss firm was
able in 1927, after he paid a visit
to Geneva, to construct a machine
capable of measuring to within
two millionthS of an inch.
The doctors method is relative
ly simple if one sidesteps the
mathematics and physics involved
The United States has four
standard meter bars made in
Paris. Famous "No. 27," which
was received publicly by President
Harrison in 1890, is kept in its
vault at the Bureau. Three
others are used by DR.. Judson as
standards.
Suppose a State Department OF
Weights and Measures. or col
lege laboratory, a manufacturing
company, or a Government bu'
reau wants to check the accuracy
Of a measuring instrument. They
send it to DR.. JudSon.
First he places a standard
meter inside his length compu'
tator" in a bath of liquid. The
meter is made of platinum
iridium to offset temperature
changes, but the bath, which is
temperature controlled, gives even
greater guarantee of accuracy
Next to it he places the bar sent
in for comparison.
Microscopes Used
Then he adjusts indicators at
each end of the true meter bar
using giant microscopes to in
sure absolute accuracy. When
the indicators are clamped in
place an electric motor drives the
whole instrument along a track
until it is poised over the other
bar. If the indicators coincide
with marks on that bar, then it
is known to be accurate.
That sounds extremely simple
but due to the fallibility OF
human beings and variation in
even the finest metals, such &C
curacy has not been possible
until creation of the computator.
So delicate and complicated is
the computator in operation, 1t
Is located in a basement labora-
tory under the South Building at
the Bureau, and during operation
no persons are allowed to enter
the dungeon-like room.
DR.. Judson looks more like a
graduate student than a veteran
physicist, being of rugged phys
ique and of youthful appearance.

JAP ENJOYS NAVY SPEECH SEEN HERE AS SMOKE SCREEN
WORLD
NEWS
BY International News servics

By International News Service
Fastmoving developments IN
international affairs gripped the
attention of the world today.
In Paris, an official denial OF
the statement made in the Cham
Der Of Deputies that France and
Russia had concluded a military
entente failed to obliterate the
anxiety caused by this apparent
return to the pre-war balance Of
power policy.
At Geneva, the League Council
set January 10 as the date for
examination of JugoSlavia's
charges of Hungarian RESPONSE
bility for the assassination Of
King Alexander. Tension between
these nations stiffened, and re-
ports from Graz said JugoSlavia
had closed her Hungarian and
Austrian borders.
Geneva itself was under guard
following reports of a terrorist
plot.
More directly affecting the
United States, japanese Ambas-
Sador Hirosi Saito, in a speech at
Philadelphia, served flat notice
Japan will denounce the Washing.
ton naval treaty, while Britain
and America swung closer to-
gether in their determination to
preserve the existing 5-5-3 ratio.
FRANCE
PARIS, Nov. "a G.N.SO.-Not-
withstanding an official foreign
office denial, Leon Archimbaud,
budget rapporteur for the minis.
try of war, insisted firmly today
that France and Russia have
reached an agreement whereby
the Red Army will support this
nation in event of war with Ger
many. The entente was reached,
he said, in the course of converse
tions between the late Foreign
Minister Louis Barthou and
Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim
Litvinoff at Geneva.
Archimbaud said:
"When 1 said an entente has
been reached did not mean a
military alliance, but an entente
within the framework of the
League of Nations.
Il talked to the late M. Bar
thou in July. He and LitvinOff

CHINESE TRADE
REGARDED AS
REAL ISSUE
National Honor" Declaration
by Saito Believed to Be
Effort to Cloud Matters
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

International News Service
Japanese Ambassador Hirosi
Saito'S declaration at Philadel-
phia that national honor was
prompting Japan's demand for
naval equality was regarded in
authoritative quarters here today
as an attempt to becloud the
American public as to the real
issue at stake in the Orient.
The real issue was considered
to be the right of all nations to
trade freely with China and
Japan's threat to interfere with
that right by establishing virtual
hegemony over the land.
Officials we're convinced the
motive behind Japan's naval as.
pirations was to strengthen it's
ability to extend its influence
and control over China.
In this connection, attention
was called to the japanese Gov
ernment spokesman's declaration
last April that Japan considered
itself virtually responsible for
China's relations with the rest OF
the world.
SaitO Reveals Stand
MP. Saito, in a speech on Japa'
mesa and American relations be-
fore the Academy of Political and
Social Science at Philadelphia
last night, declared naval interl-
ority was something which Japa-
nese susceptibility could no longer
tolerate" and served notice ia
pan intended to renounce the
Washington Naval Limitation
Treaty regardless" Of develop
ments at the London naval dis
cusSionS.
Mr.. Saito also resurrected the
immigration question between
japan and the United States,
declaring Japan "is patiently
waiting for the day when this
needless affront to the japanese
sense of honor will be deleted
from American legislation"
Mr.. Saito's declaration that
Japan would terminate the Wash.
ington Naval Treaty regardless OF
developments at London did not
come as a complete surprise to
officials here. They pointed out
the japanese delegates at London
had intimated this step in the
conversations with the American
and British representatives.
It was this intimation from
the japanese that led Great
Britain to make formal over
lures to this country concerning
the desirability of considering a
separate Anglo-American Naval
understanding to prevent naval
rivalry between the English-speaK-
ing nations.
Cities Prestige
In stating that Japan's demand
for naval equality involved the
question of national dignity and
prestige" Mr.. Saito said:
"There is a tendency to look
down upon Japan as an infant
gate (spOiled child) who may
run amuck at any moment.
The argument too often falls
upon japanese ears in this
manner: IF we have the ratio
Of ten, we will always behave,
but if you have more than six
or seven, it is highly probable
you villa go astray.' Does it not
sound too much as q case of
asserting moral superiority"
In this respect, officials here
pointed out that the United
States might accuse Japan or
other nations of asserting moral
superiority over this country be-
cause they maintain bigger armies
than this nation does.
