alone down the creek in order
that its new owner might admire
it under way.
AS Judge Aukum swung the
craft about to return to the dock
the engine coughed deeply,
wheezed, and died, leaving the
pilot and boat too far from the
wharf for the judge to shout the
nature Of his predicament to Mr..
Doyle.
A tow took them up the creek
and there it was found that the
sharp and speedy turn had
churned up the sediment in the
gasoline tank and lodged it in
the fuel pipe so tightly that no
pressure Of air could dislodge it.
Thus ended the shakedown
cruise of the Merappi. She is
still resting at Smiths Greek and
this weekend Judge Aukum and
Mr.. Doyle are going back down
there with monkey wrenches and
pliers and take that gas line
down and clean it out and re-
place the exhaust pipe. Mr.. Seal
will be unable to make the trip,
as he Is on vacation.
But Mr.. Doyle's faith in
Merappi is unshaken and as
soon as these difficulties are cor
rected-and they are normal
things in the life Of boat-the
Merappi will be under way again
and lucky will be the man who
gets to ship for a cruise as a
working guest.
The Washington times., 1934-07-25

The other working guest was
Mr.. Seal.
Arriving on board the Mderap-
pt, the guests were Informed that
the shakedown was to take them
to Bayhead, where Mr.. Doyle has
his summer home.
Now Bayhead is pretty well up
the Chesapeake Bay and Judge
Aukum knows how many things
can happen on that comparative
ly small body of Water--but he
was game.
All went well until the three
sailors approached Mattawoman
Greek, about 80 miles from Wash
1ngton Harbor, when it found
that the boat was taking water
too rapidly for the comfort of
the crew. Judge Aukum brought
his trusty bilge pump INTO action
and chuckled over the impression
his foresight had made on Messrs,
Doyle and Seal.
Harboring in the creek for the
night, it was found that the
water was coming in through a
badly ruSted section of exhaust
pipe. Judge Aukum then showed
his Shlpmates another trick OF
the game. He COOK the Merappi
tender and rover over to an.
other boat and borrowed enough
tire tape to make a tight re.
pair.
On the way to Colonial Beach
the next morning the warm ex
haust melted the tape away from
the repair and at Monroe Bay
where they spent the night aboard
ship, it was decided to run across
the river to Smiths Creek for per.
manent repair before proceeding
up the bay.
BY this time, Mr.. Seal had be.
come quite hungry and mani.
tested an utter lack of apprecia-
tion Of the fruit and lemonade
Judge Aukum pointed out to him
in the galley. Making short to
find a telephone, the Judge and
Mr.. Doyle missed Mr.. Seal.
A prolonged search revealed Mr..
Seal at one of the hotels, sitting
in the dining room eating a beef.
steak. AS the pair approached his
table, Mr.. Seal said:
Gentlemen, since this trip il
not going to be an extensive one
and you will not need me just
to cross the river, 1 think will
get on back to Washington in
the morning."
While the two seamen were un.

public 235-72nd Congress, page
6, par. 3, page 20 /. 35-39.)
Since the Judgment of the Court
Of Claims in the present case had
become final and conclusive
against the United States, there
Is a clear and unmistakable pre-.
sumption that Congress intended
to appropriate sufficient money to
pay said judgment in full, and that
with respect to so very grave a
matter as reducing final judg.
ments against the United States
rendered by the Court of Claims,
II Congress had intended to so re.
duce such judgments Congress
would have been very explicit and
plain in stating such purpose.
Interest as such is prohibited
by law on judgments of the Court
OF Claims (Section 1T, Judicial
Code). Hence, while the appro-
pr1ation act states an amount in
terms Of interest, what Is really
covered thereby is the amount of
Just compensation set forth in the
Judgment Of the court, part of
which was measured as interest,
the same as in Seaboard Air Line
F2y. VS.. U. S., 261 U. S. 299, and in
Rogers VS.. U. S. 255, U. S. 1853:
Phelps VS.. U. S., 274, u. S. 341.
The interest item in the present
case was, Of course, not allowed
by law upon a Judgment and any
attempt of respondent to show the
contrary, as by reference to the
Seaboard Air Line Railway case
supra is and must be futile.
The plain and simple fact is
that the Seaboard Air Line case
and the many cases following it
merely confirmed the authority
OF the Court of Claims to award
interest as a part of just COM
penSation in its discretion as a
part Of the judgments rendered
by said court.

Trend Toward River
Improper disposition of city

standing aquatic center. When
this archaic condition is cor
rected you'll see no small part
Of our populace desert the
crowded highways and take up
the increasingly popular forms
Of water transportation, all the
way from the tiny star class
sail boats up to the magnifi-
cent and luxurious cabin cruis-
ers, which are becoming more
like floating homes each year
and incidentally less expensive
not only to purchase but to
operate.
Because Of the impurities of
the water, washington has been
retarded at least 10 years in its
expansion Of river sports. Real
estate and commercial develop

been held back for the same
reason. So Com m is S on e r

Regatta Is Responsible
It was fitting that the details
of this movement to clean up
the Potomac should have been
emphasized at a session of the
Sportsmen who are sponsoring
the Presidents Cup Regatta,
because no activity associated
with the National Capital has
done more over the last eight
years to focus attention of the
country to the natural beauties
Of the Potomac River, than
have the various Presidents
Cup committees.
The normal, healthy demand
which has been built up since
1925, the first year the Presi-
dent of the United States ever
sponsored a power boat race,
for participation in this event
for gold cup designs, justifieS
every good facility that Wash
ington can offer its visitors.
The regatta committees have
ever attended to these details,
but it has never been quite
proud of water conditions and
that this sub-par situation is
soon to be righted, will be their
reward for originally making it
essential, if only as a matter of
civic pride.

Times Staff Writer

CHICAGO, July 25.-Gin'ril
Alvin Crowder, who tied Lefty
Grove last year for the honor of
winning the most games in the
American League, who pitched in
the greatest number of games in
his league, but who likewise won
the doubtful honor of allowing
the greatest number of safe hits,
definitely has fallen on evil times.
Just what Crowder will do for
the rest Of the year is doubtful.
Unless he RECEIVERS something ap-
preaching his old form he will be
bull pen hurler, with his future
in doubt.
Today Griffs play the sox
again, and Lefty Stewart prob
ably will pitch against Ted Lyons.
Crowder was knocked out Of
the box in three innings yester-
day. It was his third start and
his third licking on this trip. He
hasn't lasted beyond the seventh
inning in any of his starts, and
that's no way to retain a major
league assignment.
Worse and Worse
AS a matter of fact, Crowder
has pitched only two or three
complete games this season, and
each succeeding start sees him
just a bit worse off than on his
last effort.
A good part of this trouble
may be mental. Perhaps Crowder
has developed the thought that
he just can't win. Maybe a major
part Of his trouble is just plain
physical. Maybe he hasn't the
stuff to fool those uncompromis-
ing bats that are flourished in
his face. "-f
But, whatever the trouble, the
gin'ril is just about ready to be
relieved of his command.
Let's look at the game yester-
day. Right out of clear sky,
we might say a hot sky, for it
was 100 degrees in the press
stand, the White Sox opened fire
on Crowder.
Base Hits Resound
Swanson singled and Jocko Con-
lon sacrificed. Then in rapid-fire
order, and, boys, it was rapid-fire
order, Simmons, Bonura, Appling
and Dykes set the wild echoes
flying with line drive singles.
It might be fitting to say that
they set the wild Crowder flying,
too. They set him flying for the
dugout and shower baths.
This Salvo sent enough runs
over the plate in short order to
win the game hands down. There
was nothing in the Griffmen's
counter attack to come close to
tying the game, let alone winning
it.
AS a matter of fact, Johnny
Gill saved the Griffs from COM
plete and humiliating rout by
hitting home run into the right
field stands. This Gill person
may yet prove to be a sort of an
awkward rookie who developed
into leading star.
ShelIed In Detroit
Let's get back to Crowder for
a few minutes. Over in Detroit
he was shelled off the hill in the
sixth inning when four runs were
scored off four well hit drives.
The story is the same in his
game against the Browns. They
knocked him out of the box in
short order, the end coming in
the sixth inning. And now this
last ill-Starred performance.
Crowder was one of the work
horses Of the league last year. He
started well, but it was noted by
baseball sharpshooterS that he
Semed to lose a lot of his stuff
toward the end of the season. He

point recovery program, including con-
ditional abandonment Of several phases
of the New Deal experiment, was
urged last night by Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York, one Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's legislative advisers.
Certain portions Of the New Deal
must become embodied in permanent
law and crystallized in public senti-
ment," Wagner told a meeting at the
Catholic Club; then at another point
he said:
"Other types Of our program are
more susceptible to modification. A

Whatever may be the case in other
lands, I do not believe that the meth
ods of freedom are outworn or even
discredited in the United States. On
the contrary, they have been re-
tested and reconfrmed."
Wagner advocated the following
program:
1. A qualified scrapping of price-fix-

2. Ending of N. r. AS production

3. Reduction of widespread (Fed-
