Scouts Looking Forward With
Pleasure To The Opening
Of 18th Session
SEA SCOUTS CAMP
FROM AUG. A TO IS

Boy Scouts are looking forward
with much pleasure to the opening
of the Rodney Scout Camps on the
Chesapeake for the eighteenth sue
cessive season on June %. Cheecha-
koo, sour dough, ranger and pioneer
may have little meaning to the man
on the street, but to the boy scout,
the terms denote the successive stages
from tenderfoot to veteran camper.
The ranger camp is a graduate
school of Rodney, and is made up Of
the oldest and most experienced scouts
With minimum of supervision the
rangers develop their own program
and live in the best tradition of DAN
iel Boone and other famous frontiers
men. In line with the service ideals
of scouting the rangers are alert to
initiate improvements to the camp
grounds, and to assist the young boys
in making the most of their camp OPP
portunities. Charles M. Dannenberg,
troop six scoutmaster and ranger
camp director is one of the best liked
veteran camp staff leaders.
During the fourth camp period, from
August to IS, the council sea scouts
will take over the ranger quarters,
for two weeks training period under
James M. Shorts, sea scout director.
Mr.. Shorts will be at camp throughout
the summer to assist other scouts in
their preparation for the seas scout
requirements.
The pioneer camp program follows
the ranger pattern, with emphasis on
trail building, bridge building, and
other projects for the improvement of
camp as we'll as the exercise Of skill
and ingenuity among the more exper-
fenced scouts. Gordon Gales and Will
cox Brown, as director and associate
director respectively of the pioneers,
are both we'll known veterans Of Rod
ney.
For the newer campers the cheech-
akoo and sourdough camp program
offers variety of scouting activities,
from handicraft, directed by William
L. Bicking, to swimming and life-sav-
ing instruction by Edward B. Cantwell.
Campfires, scoutcraft instruction and
games are supervised by John M.
Wagner of the cheechakoo camp who
returns to Rodney after year at
the University of Maryland, and A..
Burtis Robbins, Jr., director of the
sourdough camp. Mr.. Robbins is an
other Rodney veteran, on leave this
summer from the U. S. Military Aca-
denny at West Point, where he has
completed his second year. Every
scout has complete freedom Of choice
in selecting his camp activities, which
are varied to meet the needs and de-
sires of all scouts.

N NEUTRALITY
UP PT0PEOPLE,
SAYS HULL
Warns Against Lure Of
Profits Involving
u. S. in War
International News Service

It's now up to the American
people whether this country is
going to be drawn into any gen.
eral European war.
This is the feeling Of Secretary
Of State Cordell Hull and, it was
learned today, was the motive be-
hind his warning to American
traders not to let the lure Of
war profits endanger American
neutrality.
The extent to which Americans
trade with the belligerents and
travel on Italian ships will deter
mine the risk this country runs of
becoming involved in war Mr.. Hull
believes.
He feels the government, hav
ing proclaimed an arms embargo
and withdrawn protection from
Americans trading with italy and
Ethiopia, has done all in its power
to keep this country out of war.
Fear Enhancement
The Government has no au-
thority to prohibit trade, except
in implements of war, with Italy
or Ethiopia. It feels, however,
that such trade, especially the
lure of war profits, involves
serious danger to maintenance Of
American neutrality.
The fear prevails that il Amer
lean commercial interests should
seek to obtain the Italian mar
kets available if League members
refuse to trade with Italy, this
country might quickly become in
volved in the same rightto-trade
difficulties with League members
that it experienced in the World
War, and which led to American
entry into the war.
Secretary Hull said:
"Our people might well real
ize that the universal state Of
business uncertainty and sus-
pense on account Of the war is
seriously handicapping business
between all countries, and that
the sooner the war is terminated
the sooner the restoration and
stabilization Of business in all
parts of the world, which is in
finitely more important than
trade with the beIfgerents, will
be brought about"
His statement was prompted by
reports that New York exporters
were planning to push trade with
Italy "at their own risk" despite
the Presidents neutrality stand.

The Ethiopian government today
requested Count Luigi Vinci- Gig
liucci, italian minister, to leave
Adds Ababa tomorrow, and not
wait, as he had wished, for the
arrival Of his consul from Mogale.
Count Vinci was given 48 hours
to leave. His time expires to-
morrow, when the train leaves for
Djibouti, French Somaliland.
Count Vinci had expected to
send the 16 members of his lega-
ton staff tomorrow, but to wait
himself for a later train.
Wires for Orders
After receiving q note from
the Foreign Office stating he
must get out Immediately, Count
Vinci telegraphed to Rome for
instructions.
Some apprehension was felt
here regarding possible conse-
quenceS in the event Premier
Mussolini should order his min
lister to defy the Emperor.
Savage sharpshooters Of the no
toriously ferocious IsSa tribe
brought down an Italian plane by
rifle fire. killing two military
pilots and one pet dog mascot in

MELLON STEEL
DEALS TRACED

SBUR G H, March 12
GN.S0.-sagas Of steel in the
first 80 years Of the twentieth
century and fortunes that grew
from Mellon enterprise were re-
cited today in Andrew w. Melons
three-million-dollar income tax
battle before the U. S. Board
Of Tax Appeals.
They concerned the rise Of
Melons McClintic- Marshall Cor
poration from a $250,0OO concern
to a seventy-two million dollar
industrial giant that merged with
Bethlehem Steel Corporation in
1881. They punctuated the latest
and most complicated phase of
the former Treasury Secretary'S
fight to escape payment of
$3,089,261 in deficiency and pen
atty assessments on his 1881 in
come. Mr.. Mellon wants a re-
fund of $139,o45.
Principal characters in the
tales of steel and fortunes were
the Mellon brothers, Andrew and
the late Richard B., and two
Lehigh University graduates, H.
H. McClintic and C. B. Marshall.
The Mellon brothers in 1900 pro-
vided $250.000 capital, while Nc
Clintic and Marshall were physi.
cal forces behind the industry.
In 1881 the firm, valued at $64,-
100000, after having paid $8,000,-
900 in dividends, was taken over
by Bethlehem Steel.
The Government has selected
this transaction to substantiate its
charges that the former Cabinet
member did not pay sufficient in
come taxes for that year.

DRIVER IN FATAL
CRASH FACES
JURY PROBE

ROCKVILLE, Md, March IL.
In a hearing which consumed
most of the afternoon session Of
Police Court here yesterday, Carl
G. Youngerman, Bethesda automo'
bile salesman, was held for the
action of Montgomery county
grand jury by Judge Donald A.
DeLashmutt on charges of man.
slaughter. Bond was set at $500.
Mr.. Youngerman, still carrying
tangible evidence of the accident
in which one person lost his life,
was arrested following an accident
on the Rockville Pike, in which
Harry Crawford, a friend of his,
was killed instantly.
Dismissing the possibility that
Mr.. Crawford was the driver Of
the car rather than Mr.. Younger
man in view of the fact that his
body was found on the drivers
side of the wrecked machine,
whereas Mr.. Youngerman was
thrown to the opposite side, Judge
DeLashmutt said:
"There is no doubt in my
mind that Mr.. Youngerman was
the driver of the automobile.
Inertia enters into this case and
the laws which govern it would
substantiate the States claims
that the bodies could have been
thrown in this unusual fashion.
"The right side Of the car,
which was demolished, shows be-
yOnd any doubt that the man
sitting on that side would be
killed. 1 must, therefore, hold
the defendant for the action of
the grand jury"
