OPERATION HELD
 UP BY MOTHER
Girl With Ruptured Ap' pendix Finally Rushed
 to Hospital

Berth Amboy, N. J.. Sept 16- (UP)- Pretty, 15-year-old Marga- ret Kerston was taken to General hospital today for an emergency operation which was delayed lS hours by the defiance of the girls mother.
 The ...other, Mrs. Anna Kerston, barricaded her daughter in her modest bungalow and refused per mission for the operation for a ruptured appendix all night Ions and until Father Ladisaus Petrick of the Koran Catholic church con- vinced her that without surgical aid the girl surely would die.
 Mrs. Kerston, whose fear of hospitals and surgery dates to the death of her mother after an op- eration, finally was persuaded by the suffering of her daughter and the pleas of the clergyman to per init the removal.
 Dr. William H. Mccormick said he feared peritonitis had set. in and, he regarded the condition of the girl as critical.
 Five years ago my motner uie'i after she was taken to a hospital, Joe Ditskie, brother of Mrs. Kers- ton, said in explaining the strange case. "'The doctor said she had ap- pendicitic. He wanted to operate for that. Then another doctor saih it was gall bladder trouble. He wanted to operate. Well. they op- erated. She died. I've got no use for doctors and hospitals"
 Ditskie said the mother was supported in her defiance of sur gery by the girl herself.
 "She didn't want to go." he said land when she grabbed my arm last night and begged not to lei them take her she was tearing my heart out. I made up my mind that 1 fore I let them take hei I'd let them blow my head off. Until Father Petrick persuaded the family to consent to the op' eration authorities were at a loss i Medical and civil officials said the. | were powerless to overrule tho I wishes of the mother.

Steel Leads In World Movement
 Toward Cooperation In Industry

Toronto: Industrial Internation- alism, one of the most significant developments of our times, was foreshadowed today in an address by V. G. Iden, American steel of- ficial, to the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction, now in session at Toronto. According to MT. Iden, who Is secretary of the American Institute of Steel Construction, the results of steel research in all parts of the world are being freely ex- changed and discussed. by the en- gineers of every nation at the. fre- quent bi-national and occasional world steel conferences. Thus, while political internationalism may never be possible or even desirable, industrial internationalism seems to be already on the way. When fully realized, the speaker indicated. such international coperation in in- dustry will make war impossible.
 Tracing the development of the steel industry from it's simple be- ginnings of 50 years ago, through the world war, which gave a first strong impetus towards standardi- zation of shapes and quality, to the complex and highly cooperative in- dustry of today, Mir. Iden forecast even greater and more rapid de- velopment in the next few years. He prophesied veritable world of steel, not merely a larger number of its present applications but en- tirely new uses, such as for dams, pipe lines, whole hydro-ele sys- tems, floors in industrial and office buildings and a multitude of other new uses. With its growth in use he foresaw an equal development in the aesthetics of steel construc- ton, already adumbrated in the beauty of our recent skyscrapers and steel bridges.
 But underlying the aesthetic side of steel construction, the speaker stressed the enormous for ward steps taken by the industry in the standardization of quality and shapes. Thus, the general specification of few.years ago was steel capable of bearing stress of 10000 pounds per square inch. Through the efforts of the Insti- tute this specification was raised to 1S,0O0 pounds, saving of 10 per cent in the quantity of steel used

MYSTERY WITNESS MAY AID MOONEY
"Nathan Farber" Brought Into Case By Original
 Defendant

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-UP) Out of the same obscurity from which Frank Oxman, John McDon- aid and others emerged to have their day in the Mooney Billings cases a new figure came today.
 Identified only as Nathan Far Der" and said to be Russian, the witness. to be called by the defense in Tom Moneys plea for a writ of habeas corpus, may hold the key to labor's charges that Mooney and Warren K. Billings were framed because of their radical activities. Israel Weinberg, the Cleveland factory owner who was all but for gotten that one day he was charg- ed with participating in the bomb ing for which Mooney and Billings were imprisoned for life, brought Farber's name into the case.
 Third of the original defendants to testify, Weinberg told of having been approached in jail by his friend Farber and of being inform ed by him that Charles M. Pickert. the district attorney who prosecut- ed the bombing cases, was willing
  he might obtain in convicting Mooney and the others.
 The witness alleged that his wis., itor said Pickert had asked him to see whether "Weinberg won't do something to help the prosecution -there might be $2O,00O if he could give some evidence that would help"
 Cross examination failed to shake Weinberg's story. which en- tered yesterday for the first time into the voluminous records which have marked repeated efforts of Mooney and Billings to win their freedom and vindication. Frank P. Walsh, New York attorney on the Mooney staff, promised to pro- duce Farber at the proper time.

LEGION MAY CLASH
 ON BONUS TODAY
Candidates Loom for COn= mander - Cleveland Is
 Next Convention City
By FOSTER EATON

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 26-(UP)- The American Legion convention reached it's fourth and final day to- day with election of officers, and q possible clash over the soldier bonus, about all remaining before adjournment.
 Nine candidates are campaigning for national commander to succeed Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., of San Francisco. A.
 Action on the bonus may afford the only real fireworks of an otherwise routine convention. If in- Hation advocates attempt to load down the bonus resolution with such a provision a fight is. certain.
 Legion officials want an oppor- tunity to beat down the imitation forces in convincing fashion.
 Immediate cash payment of the bonus, with cancellation of interest accrued and refund of interest paid, is the accepted legion posi- ton on the question, which is ex- pected to be reaffirmed.
 Among the candidates for the commandership are: Maurice F Devine, of New Hampshire, nation al executive committee member since 1928, and Daniel J. Doherty Massachusetst, former department commander.
 Before the convention ends, a representative of the government of France will confer upon Nation al Commander Belgrano the deco ration of the Legion of Honor highest citation that government can bestow upon a citizen of an other country.
 Cleveland yesterday was award ed the next convention unanimous ly after spirited, four ballot fight with Los Angeles, Atlantic City and Denver.

Great Tribute Paid By Catholics Last Night
Midnight Mass Celebrated By Apostolic Delegate;
 Native of This City Imparts Holy Name Pledge

 Cleveland, Sept. 26.-(UP).- Catholicism's greatest tribute to the King of the Eucharist was made today in probably the great est religious demonstration in Am erican history.
 CIeveland's huge public stadium on the shore of Lake Erie, re- sounded early this morning to the prayers of 150,0O0 faithful, gather cd here for the final day of the seventh National Eucharistic Con- gress.
 Officials of the congress were 6ti aned by the magnitude of the throng which began pouring into the amphitheatre early last eve- ming and continued with no abate- nent until the midnight mass be- gan.
 Men and women in costly raj ment mingled with the porly at- tired. The resplendent robes of the hierarchy stood out against the background formed by vast con- gregation of priests in secular dress and black or brown robes of nionastic orders.
 The service was arranged es- pecially for the men attending the congress but there were as many women as men in the Stadium tiers and on the field. The ceremonial opened with Holy Hour at II o. clock and a mediation by Most Rev. Bishop Robert E. Lucey of Amarillo, Texas.
 The men renewed their pledge of the holy name to refrain from profanity. They repeated the words of Rev. Thomas F. Conlon, o. P, national director of the Holy Name society, with the women and children joining in.
 At midnight the celebration of pontifical low mass began with the Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, the apostolic delegate to the United States, at the altar. He was flanked by three score altar boys adn uniformed members of the Catholic lay organizations.
 At the offertory, all lights in the stadium with the exception of two floodlights at the ends of the top piers were turned off and the flames from thousands of candles twinkled like stars in the great bowl.
 When the apostolic delegate be- gan the consecretion-the changing of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ-accord- ing to Catholic belief-the faithful in the stands and on the field knelt. Net a whisper came from the inn mense throng.
 At the communion the end food lights were turned off. On field of black, the fiickering flames that looked like stars harmonized with the stars in the great canopy high above.
 There was a hymn-"Oh, Lord, l Am Not Worthy" And then an announcements:
 Due to the immense crowd, 1t will be a physical impossibility to distribute holy communion. Let us make one supreme act of love. Let :. us make one glorious spiritual com { munion."
 The congress approached a cli- max that will bring to the Catholic
