TWO COUPLES
CELEBRATE so
Welded YEARS
Walkers and Smiths Marry
on Same Day so Years Ago;
Watts Note So Years This
Week Also

week AlSO
A golden wedding anniversary is
rare occasion in any country.
Rennewick is quite fortunate in
having not only one, but two such
occasions, and on the same day,
too, which was Friday, August l6.
The two couples who have just
completed fifty years Of happily
married life are MIR. and Mrs. s.
e. Walker of South Highlands, and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Smith Of the
Garden Tracts.
The Walkers began their celebra-
ton with a big dinner at the A. A.
Durkee home at six o'clock Friday
evening. The house was decorated
in lavender and gold with flowers
Of the same colors. There were %
guests present, including friends
and relatives. Later in the evening
Mrs. Minnie Owens gave a dance at
her home in honor of MIR. and Mrs
Walker with about sixty guests
present. At 1870 the guests were
entertained with q mock wedding
and a IL o'clock luncheon was serV-
ed. -.
Mr.. Walker was born oct. 10, 1865
in Kansas, and moved to Walla
walla March z, 1888, when Wash
ington was still a territory.
Mrs. Walker, who was formerly
Miss Mary Jane Scott, was born
August 81, 1866 in Iowa. She moved
west to join her husband In July
following Mr.. Walkers arrival In
walla walla. The walkers have
lived in Kennewick for the past
five years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker are the
parents Of seven children, four OF
them now living. They are: Mrs.
Nora Durkee Of Yakima, MIR. Roy
Walker Of Pasco, Mrs. Mia Fry OF
Kennewick, and Mrs. Gladys Ow-
ems Of Los Angeles, who was the
only one unable to be present at
the celebration. Mrs. Della Little
of Kennewick, sister Of Mrs. Walk
err, and four of their six grand
children were also present. Mrs.
Walkers nephew, who Is baker
in Spokane, presented the walkers
with huge wedding cake decorat-
ed in gold and white, Saturday, as
he was unable TO be present Friday
evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith celebrated
their anniversary with a big din
ner Friday noon. Due to the fact
that most Of the children are living
some distance away, only two Of
the children, Mrs. Francis McNaIl
and family, and Mrs. Charlotte
Brown, both Of Kennewick, could
be present. However, another
daughter, Mrs. Florence Larson,
visited the Smiths Sunday, bring
ing them a large wedding cake.
Mrs, Smith was born in Missouri
In 1867, and was formerly Miss
FTdLCSS n. NdLlAppCh.
Mr.. Smith was born in California
in 1857.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are pioneers
Of Kennewick, having come here
in 1902. They have seven children,
all of whom are living except one,
Wilbur A. Smith. The other child
rem are: Mrs. Florence Larson Of
walla walla, Mrs. Alma Robinson
Of Whitmore, California; Mr.. Jay
Smith Of Hillsboro, Oregon; Mrs.
Esther Gates Of Seattle, and Mrs.
Francis McNall and Mrs. Charlotte
Brown, both Of Kennewick. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith have eighteen grand

PAYLESS WORKERS
FUNDS APPROVED
House Agrees to Senate
Amendment to Give Sal.
aries to Employees.

The way was cleared today to pay
the 1900 victims of the McKellar rider
who have been working without COM
pensation since December /, when the
House agreed to a Senate amendment
to the Treasury-Post ONCE appropria-
ton bill, which makes funds available
The amendment also acts to save the
jobs of some $50 employees who failed
or refused to take an examination re-
quired by the rider-by providing that
they now take a non-competitive ex-
animation.
TIL Sc who can qualify in this
examination, which will give credit
for experience, will continue on the
Government rolls, while those who
fail will be dropped as of May IS.
Representative Arnold of Illinois, In
charge Of the conference report in the
House. explained that the employees,
principally in the Alcohol Tax Unit,
will be paid out of the accumulated
reserve from the 1885 appropriation,
instead of from the 1886 appropriation.
He said he regarded the first test
given by the Civil Service Commission
as unfair. 1t did not allow credit for
experience.
The Civil Service Commission will
be ready for the test. 1t has been said
there.
Secretary Morgenthau, who held the
men in service despite the prohibition,
was by inference criticized by Repre-
Blanton, Democrat of Texas.
The rider provided for new exami-
nations for the men, all of whom al
ready had competitive civil service
status. Senator McKellar, Democrat
of Tennessee, charged politics had
figured in the selection.

MRS. BEALLG|VES
AID TO HUSBAND
Will Stand by Him Regard.
less of Outcome of Lyd-
dane Trial.
BY GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS.
Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, April 22.-From
an authentic source it was ascertained
this morning that Mrs. Josephine
Beall is going to stick with her hus-
band, Arthur Beall, regardless Of the
outcome of Mrs Anne Lyddane's trial.
Mrs. Beall, who sued her husband
for divorce, naming Mrs Lyddane as
correspondent a few years ago, and
then dropped the case. received as set
tlement from her husband $4,000
worth Of property. She owns the
land on which the garage he operates
is located.
Since this settlement about three
years ago Mrs. Beall has been har-
rassed by innumerable telephone calls
saying that her husband and Mrs.
Lyddane have been seen together
Also anonymous letters have been
written and sent not only to her but
several we're left in her children's s
desks in school.
LdSt ran, SIlhllS DtlUe cltCtiOii,
where the Darnestown's Women's Club
was entertaining the Rockville Wom-
ans Club, it was arranged that the
meeting should take place at Mrs.
Beall's home She spent great deal
Of time and effort preparing the food.
When lunch time came nobody ap-
peared and 1t turned out that some
one had called up the president Of
the Rockville Club and told her that
Mrs. Beall was not giving the lunch
after all
1t is things like this plus a great
deal of gossip in this quiet, country
town that are causing Mrs Beall
great unhappiness. Nevertheless she
is determined to stand by her hus-
band and keep her family together.
Since Mrs Lyddane's arrest she has
retained Ed Peter and Vivian v.
Simpson as her attorneys. They rep
resented her in her divorce proceed

Mr.. Richberg also dropped a few
choice words in the hearing Of L. c.
Marshall, an N. r. A. board member,
because Mr. Marshall is connected
with Brookinss and signed the Brook
ings report. This may hasten Mar
shall's departure from N. I. r. B.
Strikes Attention.
The hard hitting report received
far more attention in the Washington
upper strata than 1t did in the news
papers. 1t revived in senatorial minds
the talk Of scrapping the whole N.
r. A. idea
Several business leaders were sitting
around talking over the outlook
frankly few days ago. The way they
figured it out, the essentials Of the
situation are these:
The date to look forward to is the
one when Congress will adjourn
(probably Midsummer). The WASH
ington end of the business picture
will then change automatically. Un-
certainties which now are supposed
to be disturbing certain business men
IN. R. A. reorganization, bonus. bank
bill, devaluation. holding company
bill. etc.) will then have been dispelled
one way or another.
The following 80 days, therefore,
probably will tell the tale about the
level to be expected for this years
business.
II anything outstanding Is to be
accomplished, that is the time for
it. Nert year is an election year
and business is dlDdys more or
less jittery at such times.
It would not be surprising If the
New Deal put on a Midsummer busi-
ness drive with good chances Of sue
cess.
A new high for frankness has been
established by . certain large utility
corporation.
1t was required under the New Deal
law to file with the Securities and Ex-
change Commission the prospectus Of
a proposed $4,000, 900 bond issue.
New Deal as Hazard.
This prospectus not only listed the
ordinary hazards of investment these
days, but mentioned the New Deal
itself as one.
Specifically, 1t pointed to the pro-
posed utility holding company bill and
the prospect Of imitation.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Publicity Coup Scored
by Foes of N. R. A.
Upturn Likely.
BY PAUL MALLON.

-OR the first time in the history
l. of the New Deal, it was out
witted the other day on pub
i licity. And the funny part
about 1t was that the job was
done by the staid old Brookings In
stitute, an influential endowed re-
search body which shuns publicity.
There was fine to-do on the inside
when the Brookings report, criticizing
the N. r. A. severely, came out the
same day that Gen. johnson was hog
ging the news headlines with de-
fense of the N. r. A.
The truth seems to be that Brookings
was the innocent tool of some N. r. A.
foe. Credit for publication Of its re-
port IS being given, justly or unjustly,
to mild-mannered Senator King Of
Utah. who hates the NJ r. A. even in
his sleep. Senator King is supposed
to have heard that the report was not
to be released until later and asked
for copies of it.
Brookings obliged BY sending
him II rough page proofs. He knew
1Uhat to do tuith them. He made
them part OF the Senate Finance
Committee record. Thus they be-
came available for newspaper pub
licdtion
N. r. A. Goal Tender Richberg was
caught completely of guard. and did
not enjoy the joke Next day he Is
said to have summoned a respon-
sible Brookings official and. in his own
quiet way, pointed out that such an
eleemosynary institution should not
hiss the administrations act. at least
not right at the dramatic climax.

Several important industrialists are
working on new idea to expand the
prefabricated home building industry.
They are to meet privately in an In
diana city shortly in an effort to get
the larger interested corporations to-
gether on q co-ordinated plan. Those
who are expected to attend the con-
ference include Owen Young, Gerard
Swope and Clarence Woolley.
The idea is to market a sturdy
house on the installment plan for as
little as $1,000. The trouble with the
industry now seems to be high con-
struction costs.
The meeting will have the admin
istration blessing, although perhaps
not openly.
No one here became very excited
about the harsh words which the
allies expressed against Germany at
the Stresa meeting.
What particularly amused our
statesmen toas the language en-
ployed in the denunciatory reso-
luton dra,Dn up by Messrs. LaDal,
Macdonald and Mussolini. The
most important sentence in it con-
demned the Germans for having
failed in the duty (which lies With
all members in the international
community to respect undertakings
Uhich they haze contracted"
One of the highest Of United States
officials yawned when he read that.
and observed:
What about their war debts to us?"
The language employed by the al
lies also seemed to be self -condemna-
tory in another respect. Part v Of
the Versailles treaty says that the
disarmament Of Germany was based
on the intention of the other powers
to initiate a general limitation of
ornaments" This sounds of key in
view of the recent failure of arms
limitation efforts in Europe and else
where.
The whole current European story
is told by the fact that since 1919
Europe has signed no fewer than 200
treaties to guarantee peace. And
today war is more threatening than
when the first treaty was signed.

might chip in $3.50 to carry out GER
tain projects in connection with the
1880, 100000 work and relief drive
was being studied today by high
officials
The suggestion. it was said, origi-
mated with outside sources.
The idea is that the Government
make the same offer to private land
owners as it does to States in regard
to road building-half payment by
each party Of the cost Of develop
ments to be used by the public.
Under the plan private individuals
would be asked to submit projects
such as disease, pest, and weed ersdi-
cation, semi-private roads end trails,
wild life sanctuaries open to the
public, parks for partial public use
and lakes and streams open to public
fishing.
Meanwhile. the Capital looked for

ment and Senator Long. Democrat, of
