never missed a performance,
and scorns the idea that grit
had anything to do with her
persistence. Until "Say
When," she points out, her
shows have been so ill-fated
that she felt if she missed
one performance she might
miss the entire run.
Before she hit the rocky
road Of the theater, however,
her life was pretty much a
bed of roses. She stepped
blithely from one thing to an
other.
The daughter of Mrs.
Franklin S. Terry of New
York and Asheville, N. c.,
she was born in Fayetteville,
N. c., went to school there
and at the l'Ecole Francaise
and Finch School in New
York. She was the youngest
girl to graduate from Finch
at the time.
When she made her first
gesture toward the footlights
her mother objected. So she
conformed and made her
debut instead.
Since then, however, she
has been in a succession Of
shows, though she gets stage
fright at openings, can't eat
for days before, and swears
each play will be the last, on
the opening night.
James Bradley Griffin, of
Chicago, son of DR.. Preston
Bradley, whose fame as a
preacher has extended to the
far corners of the world, has
been in the Capital for the
past several days visiting
George Williams at his very
attractive house in Hillyer
Place.
Mr.. Griffin came from
New York, where he spent
a week as the guest of
michael Strange" and is
en- route back to Chicago,
where he plans to open, at
one of the largest theaters,
with a repertoire company
of professionals, to be known
as the Chicago Group Thea
ter, to produce New York
successes that do not 60 on
the road.
He has been the director
for the past eight years Of
the Uptown Players in Chi
cago, a semiprofessional or
ganization which has met
with great success.
On a previous visit here,
some months ago, Mr.. Crit
fin assisted at several re-
citals given to honor the
noted composer, Lulu Jones
Downing, of Chicago, who
was here at that time, and
together they received wide
attention and acclaim.

Roosevelt, who is a good horse

Of the country before selecting
what she thought a good type

deal in Texas, but has not fox
hunted yet and expects to en-
joy this sport very much.
The young Roosevelts are
renting Arthur Chichester's
house near Leesburg, and Mr..
Chichester keeps his string of
thoroughbred horses on the
place.
Not long ago the President
drove out from Washington, one
afternoon, to see the young
people, and asked Buck" Chi
chester (as he is known to his
friends) to show him the horses.
With great pride, they were led
out looking spic and span.
After the President had looked
them all over, he picked out one

 AUTO CODE IS
 CAUSING SPLIT
American Federation of La. Dor Will Not Accept
 F.D.R's Proposals

WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-Rela- tions between the Administration chiefs and the American Fedora ton of Labor seem nearing the breaking point after the extension of the automobile code by Presi- dent Roosevelt with changes de- signed to spread employment.
 President William Green, of the American Federation of Labor, de- clared the code imposed restric- tions on labor without hearing before MIRA officials and pointed to the recent government super vised elections in Detroit.
 Not Accept Extension
 Green later announced that or ganized labor will mot accept the code extension
 President Green made his state- ments to the Senate Judiciary sub committee considering the Black 30-hour week bill in these words:
 We p rotest against this code We do not accept 1t and will not recognize it."
 The A.FL. President said the code absolutely failed to spread work because under it worker; were compelled or required tc work almost unlimited hours al the discretion of the manufactur CTS"

Land Plume Speed Record
 Wiu Be Sought by Turner
 ia Secretly Designed Ship
By DON JOSEPH

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Late next summer or early next fall Colonel Roscoe Turner, speed flier, expects to attain a velocity of 400 miles an hour or more in an airplane now being designed at the Univer- sity of Minnesota. The flight will be made somewhere on the west coast near Hollywood.
 If attained, this speed would surpass that of the present worlds land plane record, held by a Frenchman, by more than 85 miles an hour.
 The record for seaplanes, set by an Italian, is 440.67 miles an hour. Turner says the difference is explained by the fact that sea- planes have an indefinite area in which to make their take-off run and that their landing always can be made on a smooth surface.
 Experiments in design for the new plane are being conducted by Professors Howard Barlow and John D. Alderman, aeronautical en- gineers. Their model already is prepared for wind tunnel tests at the university. Its construction is being kept secret, they announced recently.
 Turner, who will pilot the plane, says the chief characteristic of the craft will be the application of new concepts of streamlining.
 "A body that is streamlined at 150 miles an hour is no longer streamlined when it has reached the speed of 400 miles an hour" !" he explained.
 This plane will even involve notifications of the rain drop style of streamlining, since it will be going through the air faster than a rain drop, or anything for that matter, can fall.'
 He says that as the speed of the plane increases the airfiew around it changes, and that the proper shape must be adapted to this fact. Both the wings and the fuselage of the plane will be modi- fled but Turner cannot say what the final form will be.
 He maintains that the changes necessary to speed up planes to- day involve greater adaptations in detail than in general structure.
 The engineering work for his new plane will be completed at the University of Minnesota, but the actual construction will be done at his home in Hollywood where the test flights also will be held.
 The plane will be equipped to make flights of from 800 to 1000 miles, which, he says, would per- init him to fly from New York to Chicago in about one hour and AS minutes.

Femmer Says Boat Will Be Unloaded Tonight m
 Face of Strike

No person, except pasconger8a and workers actually engaged in lln- loading freight, will be allowed on or off Femmer's Dock when the 135-ton cargo of the motozehip Northland is expected to be dis charged at 6 o'clock tonight.
 This was the order given by D. B. Femmer, agent for the Nqrth- land Transportation Company and owner of Femmer's Dock, as he directed the construction Of a fence and gate at the docks en- trance on Willoughby Avenue to- day.
 With Gov. John w. Troy's an- nouncement yesterday that he would not tolerate interference with any man who wanted to work as longshoreman, MT. Femmer went ahead today with plans for using non-union men to take the Northland's cargo off in the face of the present longshore strike which has tied up the port for six days.
 LongshOremen Meet
 Although both the United States Marshal's office and the city Po- lice Department said, early this afternoon, that they had not been ordered to Femmer's Dock for to- nights boat arrival, it is expected that both law enforcement groups will be there.
 Longshoremen and sympatniz- CTS were to meet at the I. L. D. Hall at s o'clock this afternoons
 w. J. Manahan, assistant Gen. eral Manager of the Northland Transportation Company tele- graphed MT. Femmer from Seat- tie last night and concurred with the Juneau mans attempts for unloading the Northland.
 Seamen to Work
 Manahan also notified Femmer that "the seamen delegate (aboard the Northland) has instructions from his union that the strike is unauthorized and that the sea- men must not decline to perform their normal duties
 It was announced this after noon that mail, as usual, will be the first item taken from the ships hold tonight. The mail truck will not be permitted on the dock, but will be backed up to the gate and loaded from there.
 Meanwhile, the steamship en- ployers' offer of sending two dele gates to Seattle, free of transpor- tation costs, stood unaccepted by Juneau's International Longshore- mems Association local. The em- ployers offered Wednesday night to send two longshore delegates to Seattle, so that they might have an opportunity of a personal ap-l pearance before the Federal Ar- bitration Board.
 But the longshoremen turned down the arbitration proposal la
