GARNER TALKS
WITH JAP
EMPEROR
Vice President and
Byrns Wear Shoes
on Palace Visit

TOKYO, Oct. 20 0.N.SO.-The
question of whether Vice Presi-
dent John Garner should wear
cotton socks on his visit to EN-
peror Hirohito was settled today
when the American walked into
the imperial palace with his
shoes on.
He and Speaker Joseph w.
Byrns made the traditional three
bows when they entered the i'm.
perial suite with the grand master
of ceremonies. but the ritual did
not call for unshod feet.
Much Of the ancient, rigid
formality Of the imperial court
was swept away, and the historic
first visit Of an American vice
president to the Mikado was
marked by a friendly hand-Shake.
Deeply Moved
The visit was brief, however,
with little conversation except
mutual expressions of national
friendliness.
II was deeply moved by the
lovelineSs of the tapestries and
the general elegance in the
palace was Gamers only COM
ment.
Most of the party, which is en-
route to Manila for the Philip
pine commonwealth Inauguration,
sailed for Kobe tonight.
Bow First at Shrine
Before calling on the Emperor,
Mr.. Garner and Mr.. Byrns bowed
before the Meiji shrine, the
revered memorial to the present
Emperor's grandfather.

which is en- route to the Philip
pine inaugural, were entertained
by the American community.
No demonstrations greeted the
American visitors, but crowds
along the streets through which
they rode welcomed them in re.
spectful silence.
It was expected that nothing
would grow out of the question
ing Of the chauffeur who drove
Representative Bert Lord Of New
York and Santiago Iglesias Of
Puerto Rico on a sightseeing
tour yesterday.
Authorities are still investigat
ing the charge that they~ might
have taken pictures of fortified
areas unwittingly, but Represen-
tative Lord said he took pictures
of rice fields only, and Mr..
Iglesias said he carried no
camera.

Department of Justice officials
turned their investigators loose to-
day on the newest kidnapping
that of 15-year-old Stella KEEP,
pretty high school daughter Of
Stanley KEEP, a real estate man OF
New Haven, Conn.
Although the girl has been
missing from her home since Feb
ruary IL, it was only recently that
the Connecticut real estate man,
who came to Washington today to
confer with Department of Justice
official, realized that she has been
kidnapped. This was on October 8,
when a typewriter note was left
under the door of his home in
New Haven. The note read:
KEEP: if you won't (want) your
doughter (daughter) back alive
leave $4,000 on Savin Rock wharf
where the lighthouse boat leaves
in a bag on the fifteenth of Oc-
tober at twelve midnight. Do not
notify police if you won't (want)
your doughter (daughter) alive
and your self"
The note was unsigned.
Mr.. Kep said that although he
is reputed in New Haven to have
considerable money, he actually
does not have much ready cash,
and could not raise the $4,000. He
said his wife was the last one
who saw his daughter when she
left her home on February IL, ap-
parently to go for a stroll.

PRINCE HERR
WITH BRIDE

With none of the diplomatic
fanfare usually attendant on the
arrival of royalty, the heir
presumptive to the throne of
Spain and his bride of two weeks
slipped quietly into the Capital
today.
Only few newspaper reporters
and camera men were on hand at
the Mayflower Hotel when Prince
Juan OF Bourbon and his cousin
bride, Princess Maria Mercedes of
Bourbon, arrived. Members of
the Spanish Embassy staff were
conspicuous by their absence.
The prince, who is only 81, is
hopeful that some day he may
again mount the throne of Spain,
one of the Oldest in the world.
He said:
Denies Father Abdicates
1--WE shall be the last to lose
hope Of going back to reign over
our nation. am the heir
presumptive-that is all.
MY love for my country shall
never die. We have many loyal
followers, how many we do not
know. But we believe that some
day we shall be returned to the
throne"
The prince denied recent ru-
mors that his father, former
King Alfonso, would abdicate in
his favor. Such a thing has never
been discussed, the prince said.
The prince, a tall, slender, dark
young man, dressed in a double
breasted gray flannel suit, ex.
pressed interest in reports from
Spain today that the Cabinet had
fallen. He said he was unable to
give any political Interpretation
to this.
Hopes to See President
The Prince hopes to meet Presi.
dent Roosevelt, but will do so
merely as a private citizen. He
said:
'I should not like to leave here
without paying my respects to the
head of your so great nation"
The Prince and his tall blonde
Princess have a busy schedule
mapped out for their three-day
stay here. This afternoon they
will tour the city and visit public
buildings.
Tomorrow morning they will go
to Mt. Vernon and visit Annapolis
In the afternoon.

OF POISON

CHICAGO, Oct. 90 (GN.S).
Henry j. Midget" FernekeS,
diminutive escaped killer and
bank robber recaptured here yes
terday died today in a patrol
wagon after taking poison in his
cell.
Physicians said Fernekes had
taken poison to cheat the long
prison terri he faced at Joliet pen

August.
The half-pint bandit, reputed
slayer of five men, was captured
without the exchange of shot
by Capt. Dan Gilbert, chief of the
States attorneys investigating
staff, yesterday.
Fernekes, whose cached loot
from bank robberies has been eS-
timated to be anywhere from
100000 to $1,000,000, had been
named as one of the men who at

FARM INVADED
BY TUGWELL
TOWN
Survey Finds Workers
900 Feet Over Line;
Suit Threatened

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Nd. Oct.
3O.-For the last two weeks, the
Resettlement Administration has
been clearing ground for its
$5,5O0,00 Tugwell-town near here
on property that is not owned by
the government.
This was verified by John F. Lii
lard, washington and HyattSville
lawyer, who admitted that he had
threatened to enjoin the entire
propect unless the 1000 workers
are taken off the property OF
Edgar w. and Mary F. Boyle,
neighboring farmers whose 90-acre
tract adjoinS the proposed village.
Want Land for Lake
Mr.. Lllard said RA officials
had Immediately ordered that
the men be moved to Government
owned land and that the RA pur-
chasing agent had telephoned last
night to inquire about buying the
Boyle tract, which is within the
area on which it is proposed to
build a lake.
Eventually, he said, the Govern
ment will have to buy the land to
carry the project.
For two weeks, 1000 men have
been telling trees and digging test
holes for the base of a dam the
Government proposes to build
across a small stream at the en-
trance to the proposed village.
The dam would back up the
stream, forming a 30-acre lake.
Half of that lake is to be on his
property, Mr.. Boyle declares.
Workers already have cut down
almost 100000 feet of standing
timber and dug numerous 20-foot
holes at least 600 feet over the
line of his property, he says.
Mr.. Lillard said Mr.. Boyle would
sue to recover damages unless the
RA makes amends.
Watching the workers / a S t
Saturday, Mr.. Boyle believed the
Washington and Baltimore tran
sients were telling trees on his
own land. but to make sure asked
the county surveyor, Thomas Lati-
mer, to survey his tract Sunday
and check the records. The survey
shows that RA workmen have
gone 800 feet into Mr.. Boyle's land
to cut down trees and clear the
soil.

last Sunday Mrs. Hodges, who
jumped from a Washington hotel
window today, was a patient at
the Payne Whitney Clinic of the
New York Hospital, where she un-
derwent treatment for melancholia
and dependency. On Sunday she
left with her parents for an ex-

it was hoped, would help her re-

HIGH JUR|STS
SET HEARING
FOR DEC.9
Decision on Validity
Is Unlikely Before
Congress Meets
international News Service


Administration leaders moved
aggressively today to establish
Governmental crop control as a
permanent policy despite the U. S.
Supreme Courts refusal to be hur-
Fied into a ruling on constitution
atty of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act.
In many respects it almost ap-
peared that the White House and
the high court we're fencing with
each other-the President seeking
to invoke the weight of public
opinion in his favor, and the nine
men in black" standing serenely
on their far-reaching authority to
approve or disapprove legislative
enactmentS of Congress whenever
they choose to take such acts
under consideration.
Farm Vote s to
President Roosevelt had behind
him six-to-one vote of the farm
ing regions to continue the corn
hog program another year. Fur
thermore, last week he announced
publicly, in connection with the
AAA, that he intended to:
Garry out the declared policy
Of Congress to maintain and in
crease the gains thus far made.
thereby avoiding the danger of a
slump back into the conditions
brought about by our national
neglect of agriculture"
On the other hand, his Solicitor
General, Stanley Reed, suffered
q rebuff from the Supreme
Court yesterday when that august
body refused to set November 20
as hearing date for arguments on
the constitutionality of the pro-
ceSSing tax-from which flow all
benefits to the farmers.
Hearing Date Dec. 8
Instead, the highest tribunal
acquiesced in the request of attor-
neyS for the HooSic Mills of Mas
sachusetts, who got the law de-
clared unconstitutional in the low.
er courts, and set hearings for
December 8.
The Administration had planned
for the earlier hearing with view
to being able TO have new legisla-
tion ready for Congress in Janu.
ary should the Supreme Court
ruling be adverse. It is unlikely
that final decision will be rem
dered until after the New Year.
Another setback by the Supreme
Court would bring to the fore
President Roosevelt's hint of a
constitutional amendment which
would permit Congress to enact
social and economic reforms with
out judicial interference. The
Executive discussed such a posi-
bility after the high court voided
NRA.
