Federal Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.
On July 30. the diary related:
Mr.. Powell, Mr.. Korndorf and Mr..
Newell spent the entire day until $50
at night in Mr.. Homer's apartment,
and reached a definite agreement as
to procedure. and that each would
have two destroyers to build"
On the day contracts for a 27-ship
program were opened, the diary said
"the Navy Board went to see the Presi-
dent at Hyde Park for his decision in
regard to the contracts, which came
out exactly as planned regarding the
three aforementioned yards"
The committee expressed hope OF
an early opportunity to question
Homer.
Homer's statement, which was sent
to various newspaper Offices under
Homer's name, made no mention of
the alleged diary, but asserted that an
investigation of his Office had "re-
vealed no more than the workings of
any honest business mans office" He
described himself as an everyday
business man."
Il further resent the attempt on the
part of irresponsible parties to destroy
my business" said the statement.
MY being called before the commit
tee may be construed and leave the
impression in the minds of the unin-
formed public that my business
methods are unethical.
'T have never broken the laws of
the country. I have never attempted
to use influence nor have I ever
claimed to have inf1uence-and If ]
had influence I would not use it be-
cause I consider it unethical."

Lumberjack Giant
Stalks Big Woods
As Picnic Nears
Bunyan Tradition Will
Be Preserved With All
E1aggeratiOns.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BAYFIELD,, Wis, February L.
Fantastic yarns of the legendary
lumberjack giant, Paul Bunyan, flew
thick as show today as the Mystic
knights of the Blue OK cleared a
snow-bound woodlot for their first
lumberjack picnic Sunday.
The spirit of the tabled demigod of
the wood camps and his OK, Babe,
whose saga dates from the Winter of
the blue snow to the Spring that the
rain came from China, was stomping
louder than ever through the North
woods
The knights were ready for day of
feasting, woodmen's sports and story
telling to preserve the Bunyan tradi-
ton.
Roads leading to the Bunyania
center rumbled with the weight of
numbering tools and miscellany that
old-timers brought for the museum of
Bunyan relics. Among the pieces al
ready collected is a huge ak with a
6-foot handle. It is a duplicate of
the axes used in Bunyans camp,
which were supposed to be SO large
that the lumberjaCks ran beside
boulders rolling down steep hillsides
to grind the blades on the revolving
stones.
Other mementos donated for the
museum were a mouse trap big enough
to catch a bear, tremendous can't
hook, a mammoth shoe, an enormous
pair OF trousers and a cribbage board
4 feet long. A butcher has made
sausage 8 feet long especially for the
picnic.

LONDON, February French cir
cles reported today commlnique has
been drafted reafirming Germany's
right to arms equality within sys-
TEN Of general security, and will be
issued at the conclusion Of the Anglo
French Ministerial Conference tomor-
row. The British foreign Office de-
clined to comment.
The British intimated, however, that
an official statement may be expected
tomorrow indicating how the British
and French intend to proceed in their
efforts to ease tension in Europe.
1t was understood also that Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, and Pierre-Etienne Flandin.
French premier, will have an oppor-
tunity to discuss stabilization at a
week end party given by Sir Conner
Berry, London publisher.
The premiers and foreign ministers
Of France and Great Britain closeted
themselves at No. 10 Downing street
today for a conference the British
hope will make an important contri-
button to the stability of Europe.
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
presided over the talks, which con-
tinued throughout the day with only
a break for luncheon at the residence
of Stanley Baldwin, lord president of
the council.

din.
A tentative Anglo-French agree
ment to cooperate in seeking stimuli
taneous European accords for both
armament limitations and security
was disclosed by French spokesman
today as the negotiations opened.
Preliminary conversations early this
week in Paris, between Sir George
Clerk, the British Ambassador. and
French government officials were
credited with winning France over at
least partly to the British viewpoint.
Diplomatic circles here regard the
tentative agreement as an important
victory for Great Britain, as it signi-
fles that France is ready to withdraw
its declarations of last April to the
effect that 1t would not discuss arma-
ments until the security question had
been settled.
1t is expected that during the con-
versations Pierre Laval, French for
eign minister, will inform Sir John
Simon, British foreign secretary, of
the verbal, unpublished aspects of the
recent Laval-Mussolini interviews and
their effect on the French government,
and of the more recent efforts of
France to bring Germany into the
Eastern Locarno.

Emphatically he denied he had
taken any part in meeting of ship
builders in Washington in July. 1888.
At that meeting the committee has
contended, agreement on sharing of
jobs among the various companies
was reached in advance of submitting
bids
The committee had before 1t what
purported to be Homer's diary. con-
tanning supposed chronicles of meet
ings of naval officials with President
Roosevelt and OF conferences of ship
building company officers seeking
naval contracts.
Afterward, the diary asserted, there
was an equal division among three
shlpbuilding companies of six destroy
er construction jobs.
Homer, who was pronounced by his
physicians as too Ill to testify, issued
statement saying he never attempted
to "use influence" nor lever claimed
to have influence" in such matters.
The diary was read by F. w. La
Rouche, committee investigator.
Named also in the memorandum
was Admiral Christian j. Peoples, now
Treasury Department procurement Of
ficer, who is aiding in the administra-
tion's public works-relief efforts.
Tells of $4,000 Payment.
La Rouche testified that Homer had
received $4,000 from the Bath Iron
Works in connection with negotiations
which brought that company two de-
stroyer contracts on August 3, 1888.
after its bid once had been rejected.
The journal, as read, told how, in
an effort to overcome the situation" ="
Homer asked Admiral Peoples to lunch
with Peter J. Newell, director Of the
Bath Iron Works.
The diary said Admiral Peoples
"concurred in the suggestions Of Mr..
Homer and made further suggestions,
which we're Immediately carried out"
1t related that 10 kilograms were
prepared in Homer's Office. transmitted
to Bath. and in turn relayed to parties

"At 6:30." the diary continued. "Mr.
Homer called Mr.. Marvin Mcintyre
(secretary to the President) and asked
that these kilograms be segregated
from the mass of kilograms and de-
livered to the President at breakfast.
This was done"

The Arlington Citizens Association
set before itself as an objective for
1885 the task of getting the road and
street system in Arlington precinct
put into usable shape
1t was pointed out that the streets

residents of Arlington, Columbia,
Bancroft, Alcova Heights, Penrose,
Nauck and other communities in the
precinct are tied up day after day

Arthur c. Stickley, I'd, official of
the Fire Department, will confer with

Whether he can force more than
272.108 miles an hour, the present
record, out of the super-Streamlined

tirely upon the condition of the beach
and the length of the run he will
have for acceleration.
A preliminary run of miles would

RUIN FOR COUNTRY SEEN
IN PLAN OF TOWNSEND
DR.. Epstein Fears Giving $500 a
Month to Old People Would
Shock Them to Death.

An expert on old-age pension plans
told the House Ways and Means Com
mittee yesterday that a man would
"have to be a lunatic to discuss
the Townsend plan"
DR.. Abram Epstein, the expert, sum-
married in this fashion his reaction
to the idea Of giving $500 month to
each dependent person over go:
THE theory is that everybody would
become rich overnight by wasting
money. If you were to give 5000 to
these old people, lot of them would
die of shock. That would increase
the death rate, and by killing the
aged you would abolish the problem.
Think of old people in a cabaret,
trying to stay up until 2 or in
the morning and drinking champagne
in an attempt to spend their money!
1t would ruin them and ruin the
country"

The purpose of the Franco British
meeting was originally to discuss the
possibility of allowing Germany to re-
arm officially and on that basis to
prepare the resumption of limitation
of arms conference.
The French are now determined to
insist that Germany abide by section
of the Versailles Treaty, which pro-
vides that the Reich shall not own
offensive armaments-whateve that
may mean-and will rely on a new
system of alliances in order to obtain
the much needed security.
The British have sounded out Hitler
for the last few weeks endeavoring TO
find out whether he would be willing
to adopt a more yielding attitude and
return to Geneva.
Hitler, whose whole foreign policy is
based on what the Reichswehr wants
him to do, expressed his willingness
to join any combination which the
British may want to propose provided
that Germany is treated as an equal
by the other powers.
This is a harmless enough er-
preston, but means really that Ger
many Wdnts the right to hare the
same national defense forces as the
rest OF her neighbors-Italy and
France
There is no doubt that as re-
suit of the Fldndin- Ldual-Sir John
Simon conversations, inspiring
communiques will be issued, but
they tDiH mean nothing.
The French are not really worried
about the attitude of the British gov
eminent: they know that the existing
Exchange of informations" which
have been arranged between the two
general staffs mean more, in case of a
crisis, than all the official agreements
which may be reached between foreign
secretaries. These men come and go;
and with their departure the policies
change. The general staff stays.
Like the Japanese, during the last
three years, the Germans are taking
full advantage of the chaotic political
situation in Europe, where the various
governments have adopted the old
American slogan, when in trouble,
when in doubt, run in circles, scream
and shout With great deal of
method the Germans are preparing
the political reconstruction of the
Reich and expect to have the old ter
ritorieS back-and may be little bit
