Stef7, Line Becemes "''SteFn" Problem

A stern line became a stern problem at Pacific Coast Dock last night when the steamer Northwest eln was in port from Skagway.
 It seems that the longshoreman, whose duty it was to catch the stern line of the vessel as she was coming alongside her berth, didn't move lively enough. The line, therefore, sagged between the dock and the ship, and, in few sec- onds, had become spun around the churning propeller shaft like thread around spool.
 A hurry. call to Capt. Art La Casa. Juneaus deep-sea diver, saw ed the day, Maneuvering his A. askan alongside, under the North westegn's stern he, went to work and cut the fawer strands, swollen from the water soaking During his hour or more of work, quite a crowd lined the dock edge to watch the unusual operation.

Irk Wife, She
Asks Divorce

When Wilson Sauls, a fire
man, came home at 2::30 a. m.
with a stray cat and two rab-
bits, which he turned loose in
the apartment, according to his
wife Gertrude, he climaxed a
long series of events that led to
a suit for limited divorce today
in District Supreme Coort.
Mrs. Sauls, who lives in the
HOO block New Hampshire Ave.
N. w., stated through Attorney
Ralph A. CuSick that the cat
and-rabbit episode occurred last
Thanksgiving. She asserted that
her husband was intoxicated and
that the cats cries kept her
awake throughout the night.
On several occasions, the petit
ton declared, Mr.. Sauls beat his
wife, Once, Mrs. SaulS said, he
struck her when he came home
and was unable to find his cat.
On another occasion. she said,
he beat her because he could
find no beer in the apartment.
The petition gave the hus-
bands address as the Park Lane
Apartments.

A "pea soup" fog, blanketing
Washington, caused a halt of

over the Capital today, and
likewise made impossible the
flight of Carroll Peeke, Wash

tive, who was scheduled to give
a word description of the city's
Army Day celebration via short
wave radio from one of the

Before canceling the air show
entirely, Air Corps officials en-
deavored to map a short flight
around the outskirts of the city
and before the reviewing stand
on Constitution Avenue. A
ceiling" of less than 1000 feet,
however, made even this flight

SECURITY
WAYS and Means Committee
Sees Need Growing For
Care of JobIess, Aged
Interna tional News Service

Warning that the problem OF
caring for the aged will grow
more serious in the future, the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee today filed formal report
urging enactment of the PreSi
dents economy security bill.
TIE report carried an indirect
warning that too liberal cld-age
pension laws would lay an almost
unbearable burden upon taXpay
erS.
The economic security bill
which embraces old age pensions
unemployment insurance and other
sociai programs, was described as
a companion measure to the 1880
miliicn-dollar work-relief bill. The
report said:
"The proposals in this bill
are forward looking. This bill
is not to be considered a cure
all nor a complete measure for
economic security.
ut will doubtless have to be
supplemented in the course of
time, as has been the history
of all other major legislation.
But it m keS beginning
toward economic ecurity
which has been long overdue"
The committee report said that
100000 persons over IS now
are dependent upon public relief
They would be entitled to old
age pensions under State laws.
The committee Estimated that
taxes levied under the bill for
compulsory old-age benefits and
unemployment insurance would
rise from $1,346, 100000 in 1888,
the first full year to $2,78S, 200,'
600 by 1850.
The figures were based upon the
1880 census. The total tax would
vary with business conditions.
SIS Limit Defended
The limit of SIS per person
on Federal contributions to State
old age pension systems for those
over IS was defended in the re.
port. The States, it was pointed
out, must match the sum, max.
ing the pension $50, and can en-.
large it. Initial cost to the Fed
eral Government is estimated at
$125 100000 a year.
The report continued:
"UnleSs Federal benefit sys-
tenn is provided, the cost of old
age pensions, shared equally by
the Federal Government and
the States, would by 1860
amount annually to more than

ARMY DAY
PARADE
Aerial Show Cancelled by
Weather; But Other
Features Are Held y

Washington today celebrated
Army Day without the assistance
of the Army Air Corps.
The disappointment resulted
from the adverse weather condi-
lions. The proposed aerial show
was cancelled a little more than
an hour before A pursuit and "a
bombing planes were scheduled
to take off from Langley Field for
the Capital.
Weather Bureau predictions Of
cloudy weather with possible inter
mittent rains, however, failed to
danpen the spirit of the thou
sands who lined Constitution
Avenue to witness the colorful
parade of between $4,000 and
$4,000 starting at 1870 p. m.
Today's nationwide celebration
today marks the eighteenth ami
versary of the entry of the United
States into the World War.
Guard Against Reds
Police, stationed at vantage
points along the parade line and
in the downtown area to guard
against the possibility of demon
STATIONS by Communists, reported
shortly after noon that they had
had no trouble.
AS the parade began. between
$4,000 and 60, 900 marchers started
from New Jersey Avenue and B
Street Southeast promptly at 1870,
crossed the Capitol Plaza, swung
down Constitution Avenue and
past the reviewing stand.
Maj. Gen. r. E. Callan, COM
mandant of the Third Corps Area,
was grand marshal of the pa
rade, and the four divisions were
commanded by Col. Kenyon A..
Joyce, commandant of Fort Myer;
Col. John w. Oehmann, Major R.
C. Barton, and Brig. Gen. William
E. Horton.
In the first division of the pa
rade were the famous cavalry
band from Fort Myer, field artil.
lery from that post, infantry from
Fort Meade and Fort Washing
ton, a battalion of bluejackets,
the Marine Band and a detail of
Devil Dogs" from the Marine
barracks here, a detail of Coast
Guardsmen and Naval Reserve
battalion.
In the second division were
National Guardsmen from the
District, Maryland and Virginia,
and high school R. o. T. c. cadets
made up the third division.
Others to March
Then came scores of march
ing units representing military,
patriotic and civic groups, all
turned out to do honor to the
men of the United States Army.
One of the interesting groups
in the parade was made up
of veterans of the Indian wars
some of them past the 80 mark
and veterans who wore either the
blue or gray in the Civil War.
This group was conveyed in
automobiles over the line OF
march.

HULL WARNS
OFECONOM|C
WARFARE
Tells old World Civil Peace
y Is Threatened by Rows
- On Commercial Affairs


A warning to Europe that it
must end it's economic warfare if
1t wants to establish political
peace was issued today by Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull.
With the European situation
viewed here as becoming rapidly
more critical, Secretary Hull un-
expectedly entered the picture in
a fervent public appeal to the
Old World to take heed OF meas.
ures to relieve the suffering OF
the masses if it wishes to main
tain peace.
In a formal public statement IS
sue dat the State Department, Sec
rotary Hull said the necessity was
"never more apparent for the va
rious countries of the world to give
immediate attention to the prob
lem of adopting a sound economic
program if they wish to establish
a "solid foundation on which to
rebuild stable peace and political
structures"
Text Of Appeal
The text of Secretary Hull's
statement read:
1.-THE experience Of most parts
Of the world in the last few
years in their attempt to pro-
mote and preserve political sta
biIity, disarmament, peace, and
other necessary international re-
latiOnships undoubtedly by this
time has demonstrated the great
difficulty Of making progress in
these vastly important under
takingS while q large portion Of
world population is unemployed
and feeling the serious pinch Of
economic distress.
"The necessity, therefore, was
never more apparent for the
various countries of the world to
give immediate attention to the
matter of adopting a sound and
comprehensive economic pro-
gram, both domestic and inter-
national, and carrying it for
ward, to the end that the normal
processes of domestic and inter
national finance and commerce
may be restored and tens of
millions Of unemployed wage
earnerS may be 1eemplOyed.
'ThiS would afford a solid
foundation on which to rebuild
staple peace and political
structures"
It was made known on behalf of
Secretary Hull that he was not
proposing any immediate economic
conference but rather issuing an
appeal to Europe as whole to re-
consider its present tendencies of
economic natimalism.
Secretary Hull was understood
to have been prompted to issue
the statement by the belief that
European statesmen were ignor-
ing one of the fundamental
causes of the political instability
of the Old World in their almost
frantic effort to avert war.
