v. HILL
STRICKEN At
QUANT|CO

Francis w. Hill, jr., is in a crit
ical condition at the Quantico Hos
pital after an emergency opera
tion for appendicitis, it was
learned today.
Mr.. Hill was a dinner guest Of
a Marine officer at the post when
he was suddenly stricken Wednes-
day evening.
His condition was such that it
was deemed impossible to bring
him to Washington without Seri-
ously aggravating his condition.
The operation was performed at
the post hospital where he was
taken from the quarters Of his
host.
Last reports stated his condition
is still serious and it is not yet
known whether he will be able to
overcome the infection which had
gained headway before the opera
ton was performed.
F. Regis Noel, president Of the
Bar Association, simply can't take
tive mean this hot weather.
Mr.. Noel has managed to spend
the past three or four summers in
northern France or in Canada and
has only recently realized what
Washington summers are.
He has remained at home until
today to keep bar affairs moving,
but couldn't stand it any longer.
So this morning he stopped by his
office for a few moments to give
last-minute instructions to his
staff and, with Mrs. Noel, de-
parted for Rehoboth Beach.
He will return early in the
week-but his friends say he will
not stay very long. He is thinking
about the cold summer nights in
Normandy and, unless things
meaning the weather-take a diff
ferent turn. he will be in Nor.
mandy before the worst Of the
summer is over.
Joe ByrneS, one Of the better
known Police Court clerks, be-
lieves in the doctrine of two pairs
Of trousers with every suit.
Recently, during one Of the hot
test days, Joe was sitting in the
court when he felt-or heard-an
agonizing rip in the seat Of his
trousers. A furtive examination
revealed that the tear was so
large that a dignified retreat was
out of the question:
So Joe sat in court and Sweated
until the noon hour when the
room was deserted and he could
telephone his wife to rush down
that extra pair Of trousers.

lessening were seen in the report,
however, when it was shown that
the number of applications for
loans is decreasing considerably.
More than 80 per cent Of the
aoanS have been effected by ex-
change of corporation bonds for
existing mortgages, it was report
ed, and the average loan Is $3,O17.
IA total Of 375,971 loans, aggregat-
ing more than 1,134 million ooI'
lars, have been closed.
Raymond Read, Of the mortgage
department. Of Shannon and Lucns'
is vacationing with his family at
Bethany Beach. He will return In
10 days.
Lawrence Holmes, assistant to
Herbert U. Nelson, executive sec
retary Of the National Association
Of Real Estate Boards, is in the
city ollaborating with his chief on
brokerage code matters and those
pertaining to the Housing Admin
iStration.
The Housing Administration, by
the way, is making strides towards
setting up its machinery.
Although its quarters in the
Post Office Building are not yet
available, James Moffatt and his
aides have been working lnten'
sively in other offices preparing
the necessary regulations to get
the administration going.
It was reported that the Hous-
ing Administration will be in full
swing within 80 days after the OF.
tices, open.
And it was also reliably report
ed that money will be easier to
get than q preliminary study Of
the act indicates.
While the act presents stum-
bling blocks, indeed, and it ap-
pears that the approved financial
agencies" will find no inducement
to make loans subject to it's pro-
visions, still the language Of
President Roosevelt in his mes
sage to Congress on May 14-leg-
islation to improve conditions for
those who live in houses, those
who repair and construct homes
and those who invest in houses
will mean something in the end.

~ and automatically. The pres
sure shows the depth.
So it makes a continuous rec
ord of the Neptune blanket of wa
ter. No other instruments have
done this easily and automatically.
The old method of measuring the
depth of wire submerged is not ac-
curate enough when the current
slants the wire too much.
2 Records Written On Foil
The underwater records of tenn
perature and pressure are written
by one pen, a horizontal displace-
ment indicating temperature
changes and a vertical displace-
ment change in depth. No writ
ing fluid flows from the pen. 1t
scratches its record in film of
lamp black coated with oil, and
spread over the surface of metal
foil as thin and flexible as paper.
After it comes out of the wa
ter, the lamp black-oil film is fix
cd as firmly as photograph by
a bath of alcohol and shellac.
The scratched line shows tenn
perature changes as slight as a
tenth of degree. and changes in
depth foot by foot. The pressure
is measured by a flexible metal
tube, it's ends sealed. so that it
shortens like an accordion as the
pressure increases with depth.
Heat Curls Cuff
The temperature is read. not
with a thermometer, but with a
metal sheet shaped like a mans
cuff and about the same size. 1t
is two kinds of metal. one over
tapping the other. each responding
differently to expansion and con-
traction due to temperature. So
the cuff curls up more as it gets
warmer, and straightens out more
with temperature drop.
The experiments indicate that
the homogeneous" top layer of
water varies from zero to 100 feet
in thickness. 1t is thinnest in sum-
mer because there is less wind
and the higher temperature at the
surface reduces density. making it
difficult for the warmed water to
mix with that below.

EPIC Program Seen Facing Hurdle
OF Legislature Il Sinclair Wins
(By Associated PressD

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. H.
Although CALIFORNIA; prospect of
embarking upon one of the most
comprehensive specialization plans
ever confronted by an American
state hinges, first of all, upon the
election next November of its
author, Upton Sinclair, as COVER
nor, it also depends to a consider
able degree upon the makeup of
the next legislature.
As a consequence, the nature of
the states next general assembly
is claiming greater attention than
in years.
Candidates endorsed by the Sim
clair organization and claimed as
committed to the END Poverty
in California" program of the
democratic gubernatorial nominee
won democratic nominations in %
of 80 contested assembly districts,
mostly in the southern portion of
the state. There are 80 districts
in the state as a whole. In num-
Der there were no contests.
Label No Factor In North
Several EPIC endorsed demo-
cratic senatorial candidates like
wise were victorious, including
four incumbents having the en-
dorsement of the organization and
five who displaced incumbents con-
sidered opposed to the plan.
There are 40 senatorial districts
but there were elections in only
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1934-09-12

20 and 10 of the 20 had UNI
opposed candidates.
As there are 80 assemblymen
in all to be chosen. it is perhaps
significant that the END Poverty
label was scarcely factor in
northern California and that only
few senatorial candidates hav-
ing the organizations o. K. were
nominated.
Only half of the state senators
were up for election as half of
the membership of the upper
branch retain their seats as hold
overs from the 1882 election.
Republicans In Majority
The legislative body as now
constituted comprises 35 repub,
lican senators and five demo-
cratic. There are SIS republican
assemblymen and 25 democratic.
While only a canvass following
the November election will deter
mine accurately the completion of
the assembly in relation to any
legislative program, an elected
majority in the upper house for
the EPIC plan appears mathe-
matically impossible.
May Draw From Others
This holds only as to electing
lawmakers committed to putting
through the enactment that would
be necessary to establish the full
program of the democratic guber-
material nominee.
1t is of course possible that the
required voting strength in the
lawmaking body could be obtained
by drawing votes from democratic
senator's and assemblymen not
endorsed or even from
ranks.

SWISS DEFENSE
BOLSTERED AT
ALPINE PASSES
IN EVENT OF FRANCO-GER-
MAN CONFLICT GERMANY
MAY TRY TO CROSS swift
ZERLAND
BY JOSEPH E. SHARKEY
(By associated Pressl

GENEVA, Sept. 12.-Switzer-
land, determined to secure re-
speet for her neutrality, has de-
eided to strengthen the defense of
her frontier.
The press recently has reprint
ed old .rumors that in the event of
a Franco-German conflict Ger
many might try to cross Switzer-
lard from Basel to Geneva, march
along the shore of Lake Leman
and attempt to reach Lyons
through the Jura mountain pass al
Belleguarde, the first French
town on the railroad line from
Geneva to Paris.
German spokesman have lab
elled this report ridiculous"
Government Shows Hand
Several writers have urged the
strengthening of the points of ac-
cess to Swiss soil, whether they
be from Germany, France or Italy,
and particularly those points
which are not protected by the
Alps.
The government itself has TAX
en- steps further to fortify the
mountain passes. and bolster the
frontiers all around.
This was revealed in public adj
dresses by Rodolf Minger, chief
of the federal military depart
ment.
Speaking of a national marks
manship competition at Fribourg
he said that insecurity of the in
ternational situation" necessitates
longer period of instruction for
army recruits especially infan-
try. He continued:
Switzerland is favored because
we have mountains on three sides
while the fourth frontier is block
ed by the Rhine. But we must be
able to occupy each frontier with
a strong force"
Asks Tor Public Support
Minger called upon parliament
and people to back defense con
struetion program to be present
ed this fall. At a Basel meeting
he accused the communists of
seeking to sap the strength of the
Swiss army, adding:
''The economic crisis, however
terrible. is insignificant compared
to what would happen if our coun-
try became a theater of war.
/ Our neighbOrs must be con-
WINGED that an invasion across
Swiss soil would be destined to
fail. If nations have this convic-
ton our neutrality will be re-
spected."
