CABINET GROUP
OWNS UP TO
HOBBIES

Cabinet members are human,
after all.
It all came out today when The
Times started out on the trail Of
their hobbies.
What do they do in their spare
time?
Well, Secretary of State Cordell
Hull likes to play croquet. When
he can't do that, he walks. For
intellectual pastime he reads
American history, and from this
habit he has become a recognized
authority on the War Between the
States.
Young Henry Morgenthau, the
Treasury Secretary, has bucolic
leanings. Mr.. Morgenthau' he
sometimes believes, missed his
vocation. He delights in farming
Consequently, when national tls'
cal affairs are not too pressing,
Mr.. Morgenthau steals off to his
farm in upper New York. He can
pick apples and husk corn with a
facility and ease that battles even
the farm-bred.
Dern Likes Nature
Secretary of War George H
Dern goes in for pastoral scenery
No, he isn't an artist. He likes
automobile rides through the
countryside. He wants to be
driven slowly in order to drink in
the beauties of nature. He likes
to fish and he goes hunting when
the opportunity presents itself.
You would think, judging from
his scholarly mien, that Homer
S. Cummings, the lanky Attorney
General, would go in for abStruse
dissertations in his free moments.
But Mr.. Cummings fools you. He
plays golf. Frequently he can be
seen with Bruce Kramer, former
Democratic national committee
man from Montana, and now an
attorney in Washington.
Genial James A. Farley, the
burly Postmaster General, was
either in Hawaii or on his way
there. His press agent, however
offered this spicy tidbit: Mr.. Far
ley plays only the game of poll
tics. When he is not playing this
game he goes to prize fights, base
ball games and horse races. He's
no SLOUGH as a poker player.
Secretary Of the Navy Claude
A. Swanson reads fiction.
Ickes Collects Stamps
Harold L. Ickes, fiery Secretary
of the Interior, is a stamp col
lector, with stamp room filled
with rare specimens, including
perhaps, the $4,000 sheet of i'm
perforate and ungummed stamps
given him by Mr.. Farley. He also
NEEDLES in the flower garden
which is the source of pride tc
to his wife. It is her garden. Mr.
1ckeS believes he is possessed with
botanical talents, but this belief
is not shared by Mrs. Ickes. Mr.
Ickes likes to be driven at hair
raising speed in his automobile.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace plays tennis.
Daniel C. Roper, Secretary OF
Commerce, plays shuttle board
He has an outfit rugged up in the
basement of his home in the 5000
block woodland Drive. N. w.
Madame Frances Perkins, Sec
retar::- of Labor, likes to talk with
interesting persons. She plays nc
game and reads little for recrea
ton.

Boston, Sept. - UP) - Vice. Admiral Sir Matthew R. Best, com mander-in-chiefo of the America and West Indies station of the British navy, arrived here today aboard his flagship, H. M. s. York.
 A salute of 21 guns was fired by tho York as it entered the outer harbor, answered by a battery at Fort Banks. At the navy yard the York fired salute of Ia guns to Rear-Admiral Walter A. Gherardi, U. s. Navy commandant of this district.

POPE PLUS MADE PLEA FOR PEACE
 TO VETERANS
Again Speaks About Wars for Conquest-Ethiopia
 Tries to Get Ready
By STEWART BROWN (COpyright 1885 by United Pres8J

Vatican City, Sept. 7.-(UP)- Pope Plus XI made an earnest plea for peace today fin speech to 5000 Roman Catholic war veterans from 15 countries assembled in St. Pauls Basilica. In his plea the pope drew a careful analogy between wars of defense and wars of conquest. and he said also that either sort of war could be approved If it was in de-, fense of Christian rights and treas- ures. But he was believed to be referring directly to fascist Italy when speaking soberly in French from his elevated dais in the Basil ica, he said:
 Justice and Peace
 "We desire that the aspirations, needs and eXigencies of our dear peoples should be satisfied, but with justice and peace" The pom tiff's speech was a plea for q united, world wide effort for peace. "The entire world desires peace" he said. We are praying for peace. You children should make every effort for peace. .. -" Here the pope made his reference to Italy, and he continued: Sins make people miserable. Peace is a preliminary condition to all pros-S perity and well being" Pope Plus praised the splendor of the faith of the men whom he addressed, and recalled their sacrifices in the

The impending battle between contractors upholding the PWA system of relief grants as opposed to WPA, and federal relief off, ficals. is unlikely to Involve Wa terhury firms because the city has not requested PWA appropria- tions, several contractors question: ed by the Democrat. said today.
 The Municipal Golf course was constructed with PWA assistance but the grant was made under the federal relief program of 1884 and apparently there Is no thought of applying for further fuHdsA
 Fear Passing of PWA
 Contractors and building trade interests, it Is reported. fear that the building industry will suffer If the PWA is allowed to pass out of existence! The movement to save the bureau Is said to be un- der way in Connecticut, Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island, al though Waterbury contractors professed to be in ignorance of it today. ,-
 The 1o5 PWA applications from this state are still on file in Wash. ington and 1t appears probable that the. state will lose building programs amounting to more than $50, 100000, with g resultant loss of work for contractors.
 Protesting groups maintain that PWA projects requife relief labor and sub-prevailing wages which discourage contractors from bid ding for the jobs. PWA rules, on the contrary, specify that the prevailing wage rate in each community" meaning union wag- es, may be paid on all projects.
 The deadline for the submission of all applications for projects is September 12,, and the number of PWA developments approved to date, according to reports publish ed at Washington, is compara- lively insignificant.

GREAT FIGHTING

Disappeared in Its Trial Test Mystery Boat
 Followed Plane
(Copyrieht 1885 By United Prcss)


 Los Angeles, Sept. 7-(U.P)-A secret inquiry into disappearance of "the most efficient fighting plane ever built" during its maiden flight, has produced evidence that the plane may still be intact, the United Press learned to-day. The report of the police investigation made no effort to establish what had hap pened to the plane, said to be of the highest military efficiency and of 6 design possessed by no other country than the United States. It did not undertake to establish what hadn't happened to 1t. All evidence, the report said, indicated the plane had not fallen into the sea, carry ing its pilot, Lieutenant Arthur Skaer. army reserve corps test pi- lot, to death. After its disappear ance, July 30, army reserve planes conducted a detailed search of all the area over which 1t had flown, establishing definitely that 1t had not ben wrecked on land.
 Mystery Speed Boat
 The police report, which attach ed no suspicion whatsoever to the missing pilot, told of high speed boat, of unknown registration and ownership, that followed the plane up the coast from Los Angeles. and, with 1t. disappeared.
