.MRS.ROOSEVE[T.
GETS LAUGH

Although Mrs. Roosevelt SCOTS
at the idea. Marcel Olivier, presi-
dent of the French Line, thinks
she is the logical candidate for
the Nobel Peace Prize this year.
M. Olivier arrived here yester,
day by plane from Atlanta. He
is making an acquaintance tour"
of the Eastern Seaboard of the
United States.
Speaking of the Presidents wife
he said:
"She is amazing. Amazing in
what and how much she accom-
plishes. She is everything a
woman should be, mother, wife,
business woman, teacher, stu
dent of social conditions. 1t
would be well to honor woman
hood in such a woman"
Reporters at her press confer
ence yesterday told Mrs. RooSe-
welt that M. Olivier had mentioned
her as Nobel candidate. The
idea amused the First Lady, who
said that, although she appreci-
ated the French visitors courtesy,
she thought he was a good man
to make the suggestion, as, hav'
ing made it, he could drop it over,
board in midocean on the way
home.

LORRAINE
HOME AGAIN

Lorraine Williams, 6, is back at
her home in the 300 block E st.
N. w., a contrite little girl.
Lorraine caused her family a
bad scare by being missing for
several hours yesterday.
She was found in the rain yes
terday afternoon, on Illinois Ave
nue. Northwest, miles from home,
by the driver of a delivery wagon.
The driver took her to the Sixth
Precinct station. Lorraine told
policemen there the name of her
father, Beecher W. Williams, and
he was located.
Police at first connected the lit
tie girls disappearance with a re-
port that someone had forced a
child into an automobile near
Third and C Streets Northwest.
According to police at the Sixth
Precinct, however, Lorraine's story
was that she walked all the way
from downtown to Illinois Avenue
and she stuck to it.

REP, SMITH AIDS
D. {, LOAN BILL

In a last-minute attempt to
beat down objections of the House
Rules Committee to the pending
$40, OOO, 900 PWA loan bill, Repre-
sentative Howard w. Smith CD
of Virginia today offered two
amendments.
One would increase the present
tax rate here by 10 cents per 500,
the other the gasoline tax by two
cents a gallon.
Mr.. Smith offered his amend
ments, it is understood, at an
executive session of the Rules
Committee, but was given no en-
enlargement. They will be brought
up again at a meeting tomorrow
of the House District Committee,
which will consider intervening
with the Rules Committee on
their behalf.
Understanding that a compro-
mise loan bill is the best that can
be hoped for in the House, Repre-
sentative John j. Cochran CD Of
Missouri will also go before the
District Committee tomorrow and
ask it to report favorably on his
bill calling for an appropriation OF
$8,000,000 for a sewerage disposal
plant.
He is afraid the loan bill may be
killed and wants his own measure
placed on the House calendar.

FOR FIGHT
Wages Battle to Add Names to
Petition Assuring Action;
Rainey Is LukeWarm
BY international News Service

by international news service
President Roosevelt is prepared
to veto a mandatory 30.hour
week bill for industry, members
of the House Labor committee
heard today, as the campaign
for a vote on the measure con-
tinued.
The President is said to be
confident of the ability of the
MIRA to solve the question Of a
shorter work week for industry
through codes.
COnnery Wages Fight
Despite these reports, Repre-.
sentative Connery CD of Massa.
chusetts, chairman of the House
Labor committee, is waging a
fight to fill a petition of 145
names and thus insure action in
the House. The Senate passed
a 30-hour week bill at the last
session, but the House side
tracked it for the Recovery act.
Speaker Rainey declined to
oppose the action, but Repre-
sentative Byrns of Tennessee,
Democratic leader, urged the
House to refrain from bringing
more controversial issues" be-
fore it because hope for an early
adjournment might be blocked.
Representative Connery made
public amendments to the original
30-hour week bill which were pre-
pared by Donald Richberg, coun.
sci for NRA.
Under the revised bill, a 30.hour
week. 6-hour day and a 5-day week
would be established with exemp.
lions.
Way of Escape
MIRA code employers could es-
cape by a finding that there is
an inadequate supply of labor in
the industry. But no modification
should be for longer than a 80.
day period.
Employers who failed to COM
ply with the law would be denied
the NRA exemption from the anti
trust laws.
Reimbursement of wages would
be required. so that wages would
not be reduced by reason of the
6-hour day.

D. K. PROMISED
DIRECT LOANS
To INDUSTRY
House Committee Agrees to
Report Bill Tomorrow to
Promote Credit
BY International News Service

The House Banking and Cur
rency Committee today agreed to
make a favorable report tomor-
row of a bill empowering the
R. F.. C. and Federal Reserve
Banks to make direct loans to
industry.
1t was decided to substitute
the House bill for the measure
which was approved by the
Senate yesterday.
Ban on Politics
AS approved by the Senate, the
legislation carried provisions for
$3.50, 100000 loans to industry
from the RFC and another $780,
100000 from Federal Reserve
Banks.
A special provision eliminated
political influence from the award
of loans.
President Roosevelt hopes to
get great results by reviving the
construction industry. Invest
mentS in new construction work
have shrunk in recent years from
former total of 10000 million
dollars to 5000 million dollars.
He believes a revival of this in
duStry alone may turn the tide
to prosperity.
DepOsitOrs Insured
The Presidents proposed new
housing legislation would put
thousands of millions of dollars
to work.
One section would create a
home credit insurance corpora
ton to insure financial institu.
tons against losses on loans to
home builders. New construction
would be guaranteed up to 80
per cent while renovations would
be insured to so per cent.
The legislation also would pro-
vide Federal protection for de-
positors in building and loan
associations. The latter depositors
would be given a guarantee of
their savings up to $4,000 just as
depositors in banks are now
insured.
A new field for financing home
building would be opened through
creation of national mortgage
associations, each with a capital
Of $5,00O,OO0 but with power to
issue bonds up to $75,000,000.

HERE
AFTER RESCUE
IN ARCTIC
Prof. Schmidt, Noted SCien-
fist, Returning to Russia With
Man Who Saved Him

One of the greatest scientists
of the age, Prof. Otto Yulevich
Schmidt, was on his way home
today to Soviet Russia, still suf-
fering from pneumonia, contracted
during a narrowing experience
in the Arctic ice wastes.
He arrived in Washington this
afternoon, accompanied by the
man who effected his rescue,
G. A. Usakov, another noted
scientist.
Both were met at the station
by Ambassador Troyanovsky. rep.
resentative of the Union of Soviet
Republics in this country, and
taken to the Sixteenth Street
embassy, where they are the
guests of the ambassador and his
wife.
Won Wide Fame
Professor Schmidt gained inter
national fame in 1882 when he
became the first man to nego-
tiate the northeast passage from
Leningrad to Vladivostok.
That time, Prof. Schmidt used
an ice-breaker, one of the most
regged types of boats.
Last year he attempted the
same feat in a semi-ice breaker.
His ship stopped at Wrangle
Island in the midst of the Arctic
wastes, where the Soviets conduct
scientific station, left several
scientists and took aboard several
others who were being relieved.
Fifteen miles from the Pacific,
the ship was caught in typhoon
and crushed.
There were 101 persons aboard,
including 10 women and two
children. All took to the ice foes
with enough food to last for 10
days.
Apprised of the wreck by radio,
Soviet officials dispatched planes
to the rescue under the direction
of M. Ushakov. The women and
children were carried safely back
to the Soviet, but storms arose
and the filters were unable to
again make the perilous trip.
Saved by Planes
Then the Soviet bought two
American planes and these, cperat-
ing from Alaska effected the res
cue of all the survivors, 86 in num-
Der.
Prof. Schmidt was seriously i'll
from pneumonia, and was rushed
to the nearest hospital, Nome,
Alaska. That was last month. M.
Ushakov accompanied him to the
hospital and remained with him,
pending his recovery.
Both are returning home via
New York.
Prof. Schmidt, in addition to
being the leading Soviet scientist,
has the reputation of being the ma
tons leading mathematician, and
also is editor in chief of the col
ossal encyclopedia which the
Union is now publishing. He is 43
years of age.

Tables Will Be
Tailored This Year

Tailored tables are the latest
contribution of modern decora-
ton. And how refreshing these
severely simple settings are after
this past era of garish table
cloths and gaudy pottery!
All-white china in charming
shapes and with perfect surfaces
is an expression of this new
trend. Nothing could be more
simple, for instance, than the
new rimless plate, but it also
has an air of elegance. An un-
usual fishnet cellophane place
mat has a crystalline quality
quite in keeping with the china
and the growing popularity of
clear glassware. The latest COB
let's are just bubbles of glass on
twisted stems. With the china
and glass reduced to such simple
terms, the silver naturally plays
a very important role.
Crystal centerpieces are also
exciting. With a supply of crys-
tai fruit on hand you may vel
come unexpected guests to your
table with an attractive center
piece.
The perfect small pot for af-
ternoon or breakfast tea has its
cream and sugar supply right
on top.

In fact it is so difficult to
tell some of the old milk-white
or white pottery from con-
temporary pieces that the store
people themselves often get con-
fused. Even the typical Vic
torian horn of plenty has been
modernized, as has the dolphin.
until we almost think of them
as brand new ideas.
Low Flowers Best
Contemporary table decora.
lions are particularly well
worked out, think, and most
of them will go anywhere. We
moderns go in for low effects
in the way of flowers and
centerpieces, so that guests will
not have to peer around a huge
vase of flowers to see each
other, and so that husbands
and wives will not be entirely
screened from the view of one
another.
Small bowls, oblong contain.
ers that fit together to make
an interesting design, even
small trays can be used, filled
with low flowers or with merely
blossoms floating on the sur.
face, with excellent effect.
Crystal Is New
For informal entertaining, and
for luncheon, fruit is used a
good deal, and especially are
fruit shapes made of crystal
smart. Nothing could do much
more colorful and glittering
than a metal bowl filled with
crystal fruit. For unusual eff
fects, try a wooden scoop filled
to overflowing with fresh vege-
tables and fruits. Use Mexican
pottery for individual ash trays,
or for a centerpiece, again filled

So if you want to wait, you
can nearly always find a few
things later in the season that
are introduced at the second
shoWings. Or you can find things
that have grown out of the sue"
cessful trends of the first show
ings. This is particularly true Of
coats.
Now In Washington
The Russian influence in coats
was introduced in the early Sep
TENDER collections, and has been
repeated with loud acclaim at
the later events. The later coats
have been imported, copied, and
now a local store has several,
one of them typically Russian.
And how new it does look!
Schiaparelli is mostly respon-
sible for the present Russian
movement, I believe, and it is
her coat that we've been able to
get a photograph Of. It is black,
full skirted, and of a rough dag
onal wooden. Russian caracul
makes the fur plastron and little
standing collar.
COSSack Details
Clever cartridge pleating Is
put on the belt, reminiscent
of the cartridge belt of the
Cossacks, and there are like
wise CoSSack sleeves, full and
held in at the wrist.
But it's the whole swing Of
the coat that is so new look
ing. Fitted in the waist, full
Skirted, it flares out with q
definitely different feeling. It's
grand on tall people, and
makes your feet look so small.
It's really well worth trying
on, for it does give you a
refreshed and ready-toStart-
again Tilt.
The other new coats are In
tereSting, too though I've
spent most of my time talking
about the Russian SchiaparelI
coat. There's a good one from
AuguStabernard with fur tiers
on the sleeves.
