CUMBERLAND GAP, Tenn.
June 3 SO.-Coming into this
lonesome pine country immortal
lied by the late John Fox, Attor'
ney General Cummings told a
graduating class at Lincoln Me
mortal University today that the
nations pioneer spirit exists today
as it did many years ago when
Daniel Boone came over the
mountains to the Great Meadow"
The Attorney General said:
Every age is the product of
its pioneers and of their spirit.
But while there are many
places in this nation of ours
sacred to the memory of our
venturing fOrefathers, know of
no spot in which it is more ap-
propriate than right here in
Cumberland Gap, to ask our
selves what inspiration we can
draw from their lives"
Mr.. Cummings declared that
"in spite of all the gospels of de-
spair and all the prophets of
gloom and disaster, I am conf
dent that the pioneer spirit Is
not dead" He continued:
"We still have many from
tiers to cross and explore. What
is all education but a pioneer
crossing of new frontiers
crossing by old trails into new
and unexpIOred and still path
less areas to a better and more
complete life?"

the Italian liner Rex. however.
The Rex spanned 3,181 miles at
an average of 1892 knots.
A thunderouS welcome awaited
the new Queen Of the Seas as she
cut her way through a myriad of
craft in the worlds greatest port.
Hundreds of thousands of eager
spectators lined the banks of the
Hudson awaiting the liners ar
rival at its new pier. She was not
expected to dock until around 2
p. m. E.S.TD
The mighty vessel came loaded
with superlatives- largest,
most beautiful and probably the
fastest liner ever to sail the ocean.
She was like toppled sky
scraper, floating on its side, longer
than three football fields put end
to end.
She represented an emperor's
ransom. In addition to her own
estimated cost of $50, 00O, 900,
there was a fortune in gold in her
holds.
The Normandie twice broke
speed records for single days runs
on the crossing. On her second
day out she registered 744 miles
and on yesterdays run she marked
up 748 miles.
The Rex's 1876 miles was the
previous record for one day.
Every ship in the harbor loosed
sirens and whistles as the Nor
mandie glided to the mouth of
the port.
The mayor with a distinguished
welcoming committee was ready
to ride down the bay to pay the
city'S official greetings and take
off Nine. Lebrun, wife of the
President of France, who is on
board.

s STOCKHOLDERS
IN D. {. BANKS
WIN FIGHT
Appeals Court Holds Double
Assessment Rule Invalid
Under State Charters

Stockholders in local closed
banks operating under State
chartres, which do not exact
double liability in case of in,
solvency, won a smashing victory
in the District Court of Appeals
today when the court ruled they
cannot legally be forced to pay
double assessment on the stocks
they owned at the time of the
banks failure.
BY the same token, depositors
In the 16 closed banks in Wash
ington were given a substantial
setback by the court. for it had
been hoped by Treasury officials
to use the double assessment i'm
posed on the stockholders for
partial liquidation of the closed
banks here which are still hold
ing approximately $17,000,000 of
depositors' funds.
The courts ruling brought to
an end a long series of court
wranglings between stockholders
and attorneys for the Treasury
Department. The ruling applies
only to those closed banks chart
cred under the laws of States
which do not carry the double
liability penalty in cases of bank
failures.
In Hamilton Case
The opinion of the Appellate
Court. written by Associate Justice
D. Lawrence Groner, is in the suit
of Norman R. Hamilton, receiver
for the bank, against Henry w.
and George w. Offutt, trustees of
the estate of their father, in the
late George w. Offutt, who owned
2.O44 shares of stock in the bank
which was incorporated under
Virginia law.
In two other suits against
stockholders of State banks oper-
ating here in which. the receivers
sought to collect a double assess
ment, the higher court sustained
the validity of the levy, pointing
out that the questions involved
in these suits concerned the right
Of the receiver to liquidate the
banks before the liability of the
stockholders had been adjudi.
Gated in court as their charter
provided.
Receiver Hamilton, in the pres.
ent case, had relied on provisions
Of the District code to the effect
that the National Banking Act
governs the liquidation of State
banks in the District and his levy
was opposed by Attorneys Charles
V. Inlay and Ross H. Snyder.

HEADS Of SECT
HEARD BY
10000
Conference Ends Today; Dele
gates Here From Many
Countries

Fortified by the spirited ad-
dresses of their leaders, some TO-
900 members of the Watch Tower
Bible and Tract Society prepared
today to leave washington for
their homes, many in distant
lands.
Services in the Washington
Auditorium late today will bring
to a close one of the largest
religious gatherings ever seen in
Washington. Members of the
society. who call themselves
Jehovah's Witnesses, gathered
here from all parts of the coun-
try and many foreign countries
for the annual convention.
Auditorium Crowded
Morning services consisted of
15-minute addresses and com.
munity singing accompanied by
the melody of huge organ.
The main floor of the audito-
rum was packed. The balcony
was filled to overflowing. The
box seats. in which many states
men and members of nobility
have heard their favorite operas,
were crowded with women and
children eager to catch every
word from the lips of the
speakers.
Throngs lined the sidewalks
outside the building, unable to
gain entrance. Some of them
had chairs, and made themselves
comfortable in the shade of the
maple trees. No one was denied
the spiritual food for which they
had come many miles. Loud
speakers, which operated with
unusual clarity, brought the
voices of the speakers to those
outside the building.
Members Jealous
Physical barriers mean nothing
to these sons and daughters of
the new cult which, not many
years ago, numbered only hand
full of jealous Bible students.
Many of them endured privations
and suffering reminiscent of those
about whom they preach, in order
to be in Washington for the con-
Vention.
There is a Chinese girl, young
and tenacious, who walked from
New York to be here for the
gathering. Another man hitch
hiked his way from California.
Many members of the society, &C
cording to their leaders, used
their meager savings to be here.

Lorton Head Main Speaker
to Sixteenth Street
Heights Citizens.

Advocacy Of full-time Parole Board
for the District was expressed by Col
W. L. Peake, superintendent of Lor-
ton Reformatory, in an address last
night before the Sixteenth Street
Heights Citizens Association.
Col. Peake said the present parole
plan is not properly formed or prop
erly manned. The present Parole
Board, he explained, is composed Of
three men who work without pay and
who cannot devote the proper time
necessary for the success Of the
parole system.
A lawyer, with experience in crimi-
nal cases, a man with penal expert
ence and psychologist would COM
pose the proposed - board. Under
Peake's plan these men would be paid
for their services and devote their full
time to their work.
More Funds Asked.
Appropriations for more parole Off
GERS was also recommended by Peake,
who said the present staff cannot ade-
ouately check the men on parole and
the released prisoners assigned to
them.

also opposed the abolition Of the
character education program IN the
public schools.
Investigation Of amateur radio
broadcasting sets in the Sixteenth

Waterfowl Safety Asked
Nature Association for Closed
Season During l935-36

~ ROWING sentiment in favor
4 of a closed hunting season
for migratory water fowl in
the entire United States has
led the American Nature Association
to call for a prohibition of all such
shooting for the hunting season 1885,
SO, it was announced Saturday.
One of The principal ;easons for the
suggestion is the fact that the l50th
birthday of John James Audubon falls
on April 26 Of this year. He was born
April 26, 1885.
Calling attention to the annual
slaughter Of ducks and geese as they
wing their way Northward to their
breeding grounds, the association says
there must be CLOSED season now,
or q closed season forever"
Survey to Be Made.
w. C. Henderson, associate chief
of the Biological Survey, said an ex-
tensive survey Of the migratory water
fowl situation would be made this
Spring and Summer and that any
action by the bureau regarding q
closed or open season would be pred
icated upon the findings Of the ex-
perts and upon the evidence of public
opinion.
Mr.. Henderson said the bureau
already had received several requests
from States for a closed season for
the 1856 hunting season and that
these requests were being given con-
sideration, but that no definite de-
cision would be made before this Fall.
Carrier Pigeon vanishes.
Audubon did not believe the carrier
pigeon would ever disappear, because
he saw thousands Of them in his day."
says Edward A. Preble, senior biologist
of the Bureau of Biological Survey, in
writing a review Of Audubon's life for
the association. These birds have
been gone for 20 years"
The answer is right up to Jay N.

ton. "At the game conference in
New York last Winter support for a

closed season evaporated and 1t was
moved to leave the question up to
Darling"
The association says it does not
contend that the hunter should no
longer hunt, that predator control
will not at times be necessary. They
say that they are not prohibitionists,
but only seek to conserve the bird and
animal resources for future genera
tons.

has been made since the law was en-
acted nearly three years ago.
This separation law is supposed to
apply to emergency agencies as well
as the regular establishments, but as
the former are not under civil service
there is no way in which its applica-
ton may be effected except by action
