Visitors and budding scientists
have found new thrill in the is
1andS-it is amateur helmet div
ing. This has been made possible
through the Government Aqua
rum on Harrington Sound. This,
of course, is no novelty, by any
means-but is easily accomplished
without the shipping of many
streamers Of red tape. The clear,
calm and warm waters of the
sound are not at all forbidding
as one pictures or imagines the
ocean where divers usually go
down-in fact, these Southern
waters seem actually to invite
visitors to Davy Jones haunts.
Under the Sea
It is an odd feeling to go slowly
beneath the surface-into the
blues and greens of the under sea
fairyland. Clad in a bathing suit
and tennis shoes the explorer
wears a helmet that is flanked
by heavy weights and rests on
the shoulders. After the first few
distracting moments, when the
stream of glasS-like bubbles and
the soft murmuring of the air
being forced out from under the
helmet are most bewildering-the
adventurer can gaze about him
calmly.
On one hand he sees coral
gardens. which without the slight
est strain on the imagination be-
come fantastic castles and fort
reSSeS. Gracefully swimming in
and out of the lacy towers are
brilliant colored fish of all shapes
and sizes, which fearlesSly ap-
proach the intruder and not only
impudently stare, but gently nip
an arm or ankle to say hello"
Variety of COlOrs
It is not until one of these
enlightening trips below" that
one realizes that the creatures of
the deep are not merely a mass
of silvery scales. For they are Of
a variety of enchanting colors and
hueS which, sadly enough, fade
when brought to the air. In ad-
dition to the fish with their chif-
fon-like tails and fins there are
many amusing little water
babies.'' There are the wee
chitons that curl up like rpinia-
ture armadillos, tiny Scuttling
crabs and countless others.
Now, when a party is being
planned, one of the first things
thought of and carried out is a
sea-going jaunt-not sailing or
surfing, but beneath the waves,
down in the kingdom of everlast.

SOviet Children
Made Liable to
Penalties of L0,C
Those of ~ and Over In
cLuded in Neu Decree
BY Government.
nv the Associated press

By the AsSocia ted Press.
MOSCOW, u. S. S. r.. April g.
Children l2 years Of age and over will
be tried for crimes and be liable for
the full penalties of the law, including
capital punishment, the same as
adults, the Soviet government an
nouncd today.
A decree instituting this drastic de-
parture from the previous Soviet prac-
tice was issued by the Central Execu-
tive Committee and the Council of
Peoples CommiSsars as part of the
campaign to stamp out crime in the
Soviet republic.
ITO end crimes among children. "
the decree said, all minors over IL
who commit theft, violence, mutila-
tion, murder or attempt to murder
will be held responsible before the
Criminal Court and will be subjected
to all measures of criminal punish
ment."
The existing laws provide for exc
cution by shooting of persons con-
victed of murder and in recent weeks
many persons have paid with their
lives for less serious offenses. Under
todays decree, adults who encourage
minors to commit crimes or become
vagrants are liable to prison sentences
OF no less than five years.
Another regula ton passed recently
subjected parents who neglect the
home education of their children to
trial and punishment.

Bacon Soon to Be Regal Dish;
All Food Costs Go on CIimbiin Q

sumers, which have exerted varying
degrees of influence on the various
commodities, are the various recovery
programs and the drought of 1884.
"Three-fifths of the rise took place
during the first year Of recovery, two
fifths during the second. During the
first year the rise in prices was chiefly
due to monetary and industrial re-
covery programs; during the second
year. chiefly to the adjustment pro-
grams and the drought"
A budget which cost $s71 before
the war costs $l,303 today, and cost
$1,720 in 1929, $1,l8l in 1888, the re-
port said.
"The food items which the bud
get contains would now cost $435 as
compared with $3.50 in 1914; the non-
food items would now cost $86S as
compared with $6lS before the war"

HOUSE LEADERS
TOSEE PRESIDENT
ON SECURITY BILL
Approval in Present Form
Sought Before Deciding
on Gag"
LONGER CONSIDERATION
IS DESIRE OF SMELL
Republican Leader Says Measure
Is Full of Dynamite and
Analysis Is Important.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
An agreement was reached today by
leading House Democrats to consult
President Roosevelt before deciding
whether to apply a no-amendment
gag rule" for consideration of the
social security bill
They will not ask a direct decision
on the gag rule" idea. but will at
tempt to get his approval of the Sc
curity bill in its present form.
Would Determine Course.
With his approval-which will be
sought in a conference tomorroW-the
leaders feel it would be easier to take
either OF two proposed courses:
Apply a gag" forbidding any but
committee amendments. or bring the
bill up under procedure allowing
amendments to be offered and then
vote them down.
Chairman Doughton, after a meet
ing with Ways and Means Committee
Democrats. told reporters "if the Presi-
dent doesn't approve the bill as it is
now, it would weaken the argument
of those who want to forbid amend
ments."
Decision Is Delayed.
Ways and Means Committee men,
bers had been scheduled to ask the
Rules Committee for a gag rule
permitting only committee amend
ments when the bill comes up on the
floor.
But their appearance was postponed
until tomorrow. forecasting delay until
Thursday of initial debate on the
social security bill.
Ways and Means Committee men,
bers want the gag rule" while
Speaker Byrns and other Democratic
leaders oppose it because of doubt as
to whether the House would accept it.
Meanwhile. Capitol Hill heard a re-
port that President Roosevelt plans TO
put pressure on Congress to get busy
on his legislative program, of which
the S4,880. 900 900 work-relief bill is
the only major one so far passed.
While House leaders hope to get the
security bill through Congress next
week, o demand for longer considera-
ton came from Representative Smell
of New York, the Republican leader.
"This bill is full of dynamite. he
said. Il believe that the general pub
lie is becoming old-age-insurance
minded, but other features of the
DILL will not receive public approba-
ton.
Ample Time Desired.
II hope that newspapers and other
organs of public intelligence will be
given at least until May 1 to analyze
and comment on the measure SO that
the country as a whole may under
stana what it is all about before there
is a vote in Congress"
With the Roosevelt program going
through Congress at a slower pace
than in previous sessions, some Demo-
cratic leaders were considering advis-
ing the President to put aside some
measures for later session. They
believed that if an attempt is made
now to put through the whole list
which includes social security, exten-
sion of the N. r. A., the utility hold
ing company bill and the omnibus
banking bill, the session probably
would last late into the hot months.

JAPANESE LABOR
HEAD DENIED VISA
Kanju kato Visit to U. S.
Is Held Up, at Least
Temporarily.
By Ra dic TO The Star.

By Radio to The Star.
TOXIC. Japan. April S.-Because of
the momentary refusal of Washington
to grant a visa. the japanese liner
Chichibu Maru sailed from Yokohama
today without Kanju Kato. foremost
labor leader of Japan, for whom a
radical American labor group had re-
served a second-class cabin to take
him to the United States for dis
cuSSion of japanese labor questions,
with all expenses paid.
KatO was unable to sail because the
American consulate, acting on instruc-
tions from Washington. is holding up
his passport visa. Though the Reneo
News Agency is circulating an anti
American report to the effect that the
visa has been definitely refused, it is
understood that it is still under con-
sideration and Is likely to be arranged
when Washington Is satisfied that
Kato realizes who is inviting him and
what 1t implies.
Invitation From Radicals.
Kato'S invitation was written SEEM
ingly ON a letterhead of the American
Federation of Labor, but actually 1t
Is believed to have come from rsdi-
cal Pacific Coast labor group headed
by Bridges.
Kato is chairman OF the Executive
Committee of the National Council Of
Japanese Labor Unions and believes
that the American Federation of La
Dor invited him for the purpose of
negotiating what he calls a Japanese
American labor entente.
Kato's prominence as labor leader
in q country where Communistic no.
tions are vigorously suppressed Is con-
sidered sufficient proof of his per-
sonal innocuousness. Moreover. the
japanese government itself, entirely
willing to allow him to visit America,
granted a passport.
Involves Question of Face.
Because Kato collected petitions
from AIT labor organizations in Japan
to present to American labor and be-
cause he attended numerous farewell
functions and talked much about the
importance of his mission, delay in the
visa is highly embarrassing and in
wolves the question of face.
American consular authorities are
understood to be sympathetic and de-
sirous to do whatever they can to save
his face. Provided the visa is grant,
ed Kato plans to sail on Wednesday
wearing overalls and carrying a long
suitcase containing shoes which
friends presented to him. This former
metal worker expressed his belief that
Washington is afraid of his presence
on May day, when he had planned
to address labor meetings. because
the NJ r. A. has created a great tur-
moil in labor ranks.

RUSSIAN WARNING SOUNDED.
Reserva ton on Decisions ut Stresa
Is Given.

MOSCOW, April 8 R.-Notice
that Soviet Russia will not consider
any decisions reached at the Stresa
Conference binding upon her in case
they collide with her views of Eu-
ropes peace needs was delivered by
the official newspaper, Izvestia.
Taking suddenly pessimistic view
Of the peace negotiations and charging
there was conscious" effort to bury
the project of an Eastern security
pact, Karl Radek declared in signed
article in the newspaper: Soviet Rus
sia will consider as binding on heI
only decisions arising from negoti-
stions in which she has taken part.
The question Of security in Eastern
Europe, he stated, refers to the ma
tions Of Eastern Europe and can
hardly be regulated at Stresa with
out them"
He charged that efforts to sidetrack
the Eastern pact had taken form in
the proposal to substitute a general
European peace agreement for the
projected regional pacts. Such a
general pact. according to the plan
as revealed" by Radek. would require
action by the League of Nations
Council before assistance could be
rendered country which was the
victim of aggression.
