JAPAN HOLDING
 THREE SUSPECTS

Tokio, May 2-(UP)-Three oc- cupants of the mystery yacht seized by Japanese authorities after the craft had entered fortified zones near the Island for FormQsa were identified today, but Taito au- thorities were reported confused by the identifications. Nippon Dempo news agency said those aboard the yacht, the Flying Dutchman," had given the names of William Gates 30, H. B. Leeds. 36, and James Robbie, 19. Taito police, however, said the only American yacht they knew owned by a Gates was bound for Manila.
 The suspects were still held by police, who declared the Flying Dutchnan" left Keelung April 20 and reached Taito three days later. It then disappeared as mysterious ly as it's mythical namesake, only to reappear April 28. When it hung ogshore a day longer, with two Japanese warships anchored in the harbor, official suspicion was aroused. Taito police said the sus- poets claimed they were Shanghai business men on a pleasure trip. Leeds was listed as German and Robbie as a Russian.

DEPRESSION IS
 COSTING MUCH

Washington, May 2-(UP)--The federal government already has spent in fighting the depression more than a third of the amount it cost to win the World War, treasury figures showed today. Re- lief costs and loans for relief and recovery have cost $9,038,266.641.
 Treasury figures showed the cost to the United States of the World War, two days prior to actual ter imitation of the state of war with Germany, at $25,729,000,000. Be- cause of huge interest costs and veterans benefits, the World War cost had climbed by June 30, 1884 to a total of $41,765,000.000.
 The depression, costs, on the other hand, officials said, would likely show a decrease as soon al the program is completed because of hoped for repayment of billions of dollars of recovery funds which have been 1oaned.-Of the total $9.- 03S,266,641 recovery and relief costs since government funds first were used for these purposes, treasury officials estimated that a. bout $4,500,000,000, or nearly half. are recoverable loans.

|MENCKEN DIDN'T
 LIKE THAT DARWIN

New York. May .2.--(UP)-H. l.. Mencken, former editor of the American Mercury and once Amer ica's No. critic, has revealed two more of his many dislikes-strikes and the word damn" when uttered by a woman. The revelation came yesterday when he visited the Mer- cury's offices where the office staff Is now on strike. The strikers charge they were dismissed for union activities but Lawrence E. Spivak, publisher, contends they were busted for inefficiency and for trying to impose "soviet rule" in the office.
 As Mencken approached the of fees he met. a group of strike pickets. One of them, Miss Edith Lustgarten, who was Mencken's private secretary when he presided over the magazine, stopped him. "Did you," she demanded. lever find me inefficient?" "Did fire your" retorted Mencken. But I always did think you were little bolshevik." You know damn well I am not a bolshevik," Miss Lust garten replied irately. "Tut, tut. I don't like to hear little girls use bad worlds" Mencken reproved. Striking is a bad way to get what you want"

Fake, Fingerprints May
Divert Police Suspicion

Fingerprints of different people, as
we know, are never the same. But
1t Is possible for a crook to initiate
a genuine fingerprint so that the sus-
picion of the police can be diverted,
says Parsons Weekly.
How this can be done has been
shown by DR.. Harold Cummins of
the Tulane University of Medicine,
Chicago. Taking an original genuine
fingerprint, he had it engraved, and
made a three dimensional negative
in wax. Then he took cast in
gelatin on a dummy finger. Twelve
of the 80 prints he made with the
dummy finger were declared by fin
gerprint experts to be genuine.
Though this proportion is not very
great, the United States authorities
believe it is sufficient to allow GRIM
inals many opportunities to put the
police on false trails.

President Roosevelt Back
in the White House

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, deeply
tanned and in fine spirits, returned
to the White House, his holiday tour
ended When he landed from the cruis-
er Houston at Charleston, S. c., he told
big crowd gathered to welcome him
that the country is on its way back to
prosperity under the planned economy
of his administration, land don't let
anybody tell you differently"
At an informal press conference just
before he left the cruiser, the Presi-
dent was asked to comment on the
impending collapse" of his drive to
put three and half million employ
ables on relief to work by November L.
He replied that November 80 was 80
days off and that November had new
er been set as the deadline, and that
he had been very careful to say that
substantially three and half million
persons would be put to work. If three
million are at work by November 30
he said he would be satisfied with the
ur-billion-dollar program, and that 1t
could not then be considered to have
fallen down.

Next day Prime Minister Stanley Bald

done at Geneva. He deprecated even
the use of the word war, but called for
rearming of the empire, saying: "In
the interests of world peace 1t is es-
sential our defensive services should
be stronger than they are today"
Baldwin announced the adjournment
of parliament on October 25 and the
election of a new parliament on No
vember IA. The campaign already is
under way and is lively, with the inter-
national situation furnishing the main
issues. The Labor party accuses the
government of delaying action in the
Italo- Ethiopian embroglio until too
late to prove really effective, and i'm
pugns its motive in seeking rearma-.
ment.

Prospects for Early
Peace Are Faint


british diplomats were of the opin-
- ion that the chances for an early
peace in east Africa were mighty small
unless Italy could be stopped by the
effective .impositii i of penalties. The
Italians seemed to have dropped diplo-
matte negotiations with the other Euro
pean powers and started another big
drive from the northern front toward
Makale and Adds Ababa. The first
days advance carried their central col
umns nine miles forward and was said
to pave the way for a general move
ment ahead. So far as the uncertain
news from the front shows, the Ethio-
plans were offering little resistance.
To date there has been no battles of
majer importance, and until the Ital-
ians have chances to annihilate the
Philippians in large numbers the lat
ter have a good chance.

Navy Day Is Celebrated

by Tic INdtlOU
NAVY day, which appropriately is
~ the birthday of the late President
Theodore Roosevelt, was. celebrated
throughout the United States. Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt gave it a
good start with a letter to Secretary
Swanson in which he declared him
self in. favor of building the navy up
to the country's needs. He said:
I'm the unsettled conditions existing
throughout the world 1t is imperative
that we should heed the needs of ma
tional defense. BY the passage of the
Vinson- Trammell bill, which author
ICES the upbuilding Of the navy to the
limits of existing treaties, our national
legislature gave very definite express
sion of its purpose to increase the
strength of the American navy to a
degree commensurate with Americas
needs, interests and responsibilities"
Six thousand Boy Scouts, headed by
Daniel Beard, the aged national scout
commissioner, made the customary
pilgrimage to the tomb Of Theodore
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.

parent approval Of adjustment given
by corn and hog farmers" said Ches-
ter G. Davis, AAA administrator, as
he watched the returns come in at
Washington. IF the final results bear
out present indications another volun-
tary contract will be offered for both
corn and hogs"
In formal statement Davis en-
phasized earlier assurances that the
AAA would seek % to 80 per cent
increase in hog production next year,
saying the ''need for increasing the
present pork supply of the nation. 1.
will be kept in mind in plans for the
next adjustment contract"
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
gave out a statement commencing the
farmers for their decision. "The ref
erendum MEANS" said Mr.. Wallace,
. that corn-hog farmers of the country
will be doing their best to increase
hog production next year in such a
way as will not bring about excessive
oyerproduction in subsequent years.
They realize their triple duty: To
the consumer, to the cause of soil con-
servation, and to the maintenance of a
fair income for themselves"
Before the results of the voting were
known President Roosevelt announced
tentative plans for making the AAA
over from an emergency to a per-
manent agency. Observers in Washing
ton concluded that Mr.. Roosevelt in
tends to make the AAA a major cam
paign issue next year and to rely for
reelection largely on the voters in
those western states that have re-
ceived the largest cash payments in
the carrying out Of the crop ADJUST
ment program-taking it for granted
that he will carry the solid South.

Mr.. Hull stressed the fact that this
country will continue to move indie
pendently to keep free and untangled

League of Nations officials on read
ing the reply said it was Encouraging"
and all that could be expected. They
looked upon it as important moral sup
port of league efforts to end the war

Townsend Plan People
Hold a Convention

nj EARLY 5000 men and women from
IN all parts of the United States
gathered in Chicago and held ma
tional convention of the Townsend
plan, which, as most people know,
would give every person sixty years of
age a $500 per month income If the
person agreed to spend it all within
the month, did not work or have an
income all told of more than $2,4O0
a year.
The elderly California doctor who
devised the plan was present, and the
delegates seriously undertook the work
of formulating campaign to compel
the adoption of the plan at the coming
session of congress. They reported
that Townsend plan units are growing
rapidly in all the states.

VIII STtdLtT VIgUr.
Friends of the prince hold that
Starhemberg dynasty in Austria would
be greatly preferable to restoration of
the Hapsburgs. They say the pre-
tender to the throne, Archduke Otto,
wants to establish democratic king
dom, and this would not fit in with
the ideas of the Fascists. Besides, the
return of the Hapsburg dynasty would
be bitterly opposed by the little en-
tente and probably by some of the
great powers.
