Missionary Reports
Moros Hate FiIipinos
But Scott at Freedom

TAKOMA PARK, Md. Dec. IT.
The Moros, aboriginal inhabitants
Of Mindanao, one of the Philip
pine Island group. do not want
independence. Neither do they
want the Filipinos to rule them
the Rev. L. B. MerShom
Seventh Day Adventist missionary
in Mindanao, declared here today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mershom. who
have just arrived in Takoma
Park for a several months rest
after spending nearly seven years
among the natives of the Malay
states and Mindanao. said today
the population of the island is
made up of about 100000 Moros,
very small part of whom have
been converted to Christianity,
and about $4,000 Japanese who
are engaged in marketing hemp
and cordage. In years past the
Moros have driven out the Filipi-
nos who had attempted to seize
the reigns of government on the
island.
This journey to the United
States marks the third visit Mr..
Mershom has made to his native
land in 81 years.

SILVER CRISIS
UNABATED

NEW YORK, Dec. II G.N.S).
The world silver crisis continued
unabated today as the United
States Treasury continued its
hand-tomouth buying policy and
marked the price of the metal
down further.
London reported the usual con-
geStion of selling orders and the
position there grew steadily worse
due to the restricted American
buying policy as offerings accu-
mulated from day to day. Price
fixing was again delayed several
hours.
Montreal futures displayed a
heavy tone. There was some sup
port in the nearby months but
distant futures sold down as much
as $50 points, or 212 cents an
ounce.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau, in a statement, explained
the absence of American buying
on Saturday as due to the 5-hour
time differential between London
and New York. He indicated the
Treasury was likely to stay out
of the market every Saturday un-
less something developed neces.
stating American Intervention.

ley, it was decided by the town
council at its meeting last night.
Decision to request the assign
ment of at least one Of the IA
county policemen to help main
tain a continuous patrol of the
streets grew out of a widespread
feeling among the taxpayers here
that they are entitled to this
service by virtue Of the fact that
they furnish approximately one
seventh of the revenue derived
from taxes in the county.
introduced by Councilman
John E. ParSell, the motion
directing Town Clerk L. w.

assign one of his men to patrol
duty here, received the unanimous
support of the mayor and council

Plea Of Riggs Banker

Robert V. Fleming, president
of the Riggs National Bank, yes
terday Joined the group of Cap
ital leaders urging Washington
ians to buy Christmas seals. He
said:
tuberculosis causes nearly a
billion dollars economic loss each
year. Any one persons purchase
of penny Christmas seals is in
significant beside that figure. But
the power of the penny lies in the
fact that it provides the ounce
of prevention that helps make
cure unnecessary. Buy Christmas

TEST OF LABOR
ACT SOON
international News Service

Constitutionality of the Wagner
Connery labor act which estab-
lished the national labor relations
board to see that workers are
given unhampered freedom to
unionize for collective bargaining
with their employers, was fast on
the road to the Supreme Court to-
day.
The New York and washington
law firm which contested the
legality of the old NRA in the
Supreme Court and had that
tribunal declare the recovery set
up unconstitutional will represent
a Georgia cotton mill employe
who instituted suit in District of
Columbia Supreme Court against
the board.
Mrs. Lola EcholS. an employe of
the Gate City Cotton Mills, East
Point. Ga, charged that the labor
boards election of employees at
the plant might deprive her of her
constitutional rights. The court
last week enjoined the board
against making the election and
to show cause Friday why the re-
Straining order should not be
made permanent.
The law firm that argued the
co-called Schechter case which re-
suited in the invalidation of the
NRA, is Cravath, DegerSdorf,

Last night he brought in an OBJ

The dog had found somewhere
in the nearby woods the forearm

Investigators were working on
two theories; that the forearm

from the dissecting room Of a hos

Plans to hasten the develop
ment of Alaska, for economic and
national defense purposes, are
being drafted by Administration
leaders.

OFF
TODAY FOR
PARLEY
By ]. EARLE MOSER


This afternoon at 4:45 delegates
from the District of Columbia
locals of the National Federation
of Federal Employees will meet at
the Union Station to embark on
the first leg of their journey to
Yellowstone National Park, Wyom-
ing, where the organization is to
open its thirteenth biennial con-
Vention on Monday.
Numbering about 80, the dele
gates will be joined here today by
groups from New York. Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
Eastern points to make up a Spe-
cial train party, and will be aug
mented by other convention-bound
members at Minneapolis for the
final leg of the jaunt.
Most of the members plan to
spend several days visiting the
wonders of the national park
after the convention business has
been settled, and have taken sut-
ficient leave to cover the entire
period. President Luther c. Stew
ard and Secretary-TreaSurer Ger
trude M. McNally already have de-
parted for Yellowstone to make
arrangements for the gathering,
it was learned today.
Included in the party that was
to depart today. were Vice Presl-
dent Ulrey j. Biller, Charles j.
Newell, the Park Service employe,
who is making the trip as the
guest of the NFFE unions in
Washington for winning the re-
cent membership enrolment con-
test: Vice President Charles VIE
gand, of Baltimore, and John
Fitzgerald, of New York; Organ
izers John D. Cloud, Miss Ma
thilda Lindsay, and newspaper
correspondents.
With virtually nothing done for
the betterment of Federal en-
ployes since the Civil War, the
NFFE was organized in 1917
under auspices of the American
Federation of Labor, when scat
tered unions of Government work
ers met at the A. F. of L. build
ing, and after a series of meet
ings, fused themselves i n to the
present widely recognized organi-
cation.
Luther C. Steward, of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, who had attended
grade and high schols in Wash
ington, with a degree gained later
from Fordham University, was
elected vice president of the new
federation. while serving the Gov
ernment as assistant supervising
inspector, and acting commits
sioner of immigration for the De-
partment of Labor. On July !.
1918, however, he was elected
president, a position to which he
has been reelected at each sue
ceeding convention.
Gertrude 4. McNally, present
secretary-treasurer, is a charter
member of Local Union 1O5, Blu
reau of Engraving and Printing,
which she was instrumental in
organizing in 1909, while an en-
ploye there. Educated in Balti-
more: South Bend, Ind, and

became active in the affairs of
the NFFE as soon as Local 105
was admitted % membership. S.. e
has held the post of vice presi-
dent, and since 1925 has been
NFFE secretary-treasurer.
In view of the successful gains
by the federation, which withdrew
from A. F. L. affiliation in 1892,
it is expected that Mr.. Steward
and Miss McNally will again be
reelected to the posts they hold.

That's the way this gown
goes-and what it does for the

that, instead of a diamond or
