ROME, May 3.-W. M. Virgins,
president of the British Federation
Il Master Cotton Spinners' Associa-
lions, declared yesterday at the OPEN
ing meeting of the World Cotton Con-
Rress that European Spinners will
cease buying American cotton unless
the false packing of bales is discon-
tinued.
False packing constitutes the pack
ing of cotton inferior to that listed
for shipment.
Praises Agriculture Unit.
1--WE don't want to do that" said
Virgins, who praised the efforts of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture to eliminate falSe-packing
evils through the use of metal mark
ers for bales. He said the congress
would furnish additional suggestions
THE International Federation" he
said, has been collecting information
from its various departments for some
time, showing that no material prog
|reSs has been made toward the eliml-
nation of the evil of false packing,
despite repeated protests and the re-
quests to the United States Govern
ment departments to take steps,
Japan's Increases Cited.
The depressing effect of Japanese
competition hung heavily over the
meeting. Gino Olivetti of Italy, pres
ident of the congress, called attention
to Japan's increase of lat per cent
in cotton goods production during
1881 and a % per cent increase for
the first half Of 1884.
Virgins and other speakers empha-
sized that higher tariffs and quotas
have not been effective in stopping
this competition.

BOSTON, May 3.-The refusal OF
James Bryant Conant, president of
Harvard University, to accept a schol-
arship of $1,000 from Ernst F. S.
Hanfstaengl, Adolf Hitler's personal

United States Senator George w.
Norris Of Nebraska, the other honor

lateral legislatures in all the States
as a means of minimizing "buck pass

Conant, in his letter of refusal to
Hanfstaengl. a Harvard alumnus, said:

 Infantile Paralysis

Juneau will again join with the other communities, both small and large of the nation, in giving a Birthday Ban on January 30. birth day of President Franklin D. Roos- cycle. At the request of Henry l.. Doherty, National Chairman of the National Committee which has spon- sored the Birthday Ball for the President, Robert W. Bender today appointed M. E.

 Proceeds from these nationwide affairs, the first of which was held last January, are used to combat infantile paralysis. The original Birthday Ball, participated in by the citizens of upwards of 5000 communities throughout the coun- try, resulted in the raising of a fund in excess of one million dol lars to enable G eorgia Warm Springs Foundation to continue it's work of treating victims of this dread disease.

 At the Presidents own 9sugges- ton. which is also the recommen- dation of the Trustees of the Foun- dation, no part of this years pro- ceeds will go to the Foundation, Seventy percent of the proceeds raised by each local Birthday Bal will be retained in it's respective geographical area, under the direc- ton of a committee of each such. area, to rehabilitste their infan- tile paralysis victims, MT. Deherty stated The balance will go to the National Committee for deliv- cry to the President, to be pre- sented to a national commission which he will create, to widen re- search efforts aimed to wipe out the disease itself, exactly as medical science has successfully combatted smallpox. diphtheria, typhoid fever, yellow fever and other nlaladies.

 In the Wightman Cup matches Mrs. Arnold was defeated by Miss Dorothy Round but came back to , triumph over Miss Kay Stammers, the beautiful English star in three sets.

SPORT SLANTS

Five years ago Ethel Burkhardti ranked No. 6 nationally, married Albert Arnold and retired from big time tennis because she felt that a wifes place was at home, not all lover the country playing tennis. F. While she had no time for tennis trouping she did play in the local tournaments and managed to earn No. ranking in Southern Califor- l'nia for her efforts last year. In the five years of her virtual retire Iment" Mrs. Arnold very naturally dreamed of tennis triumphs that Imight have been, but stuck to her knitting.
 This summer, when her husband was called away on business trip lof five weeks duration. Mrs. Arnold suddenly decided to take tennis vacation in the East and enjoy one final fling on the courts before giv- ing up the game. And what glori- ous whirl it proved to be. In that short period the tiny coast star triumphed at Seabright, Manchester and East Hampton to earn place on the Wightman Cup squad. Her victory over Kay Stammers helped the American girls retain the in- l ternatiOnal trophy.
 Passes Up National
 Her five weeks up, she packed her things and returned to the Coast. Net even the chance of winning the national title or the possibility of a high national ranking could induce her to remain for the cham pionship matches. She had her final fling and it was enough.
 Tournament play in the East is no fun declared the diminutive star. Its too much like work. I'll never come back again. Back home I can play in two or three tourna- ments and the rest of the year fool around in practice matches. It's much less wearing
 Tennis enthusiasts regret her re- turn to retirement, for in the few short weeks of her comeback Mrs. Arnold won their hearts with her hard hitting and amazing control. She put unbelievable power into her forehand shots for one weigh ing in the neighborhood of 105 pounds. The smallest top flight play CT in~the game, Mrs. Arnold is one of the most tireless ball retrievers.
 East Remembers Her
 Her three Eastern tournament triumphs were fashioned in most convincing style. She ran through the Essex tournament at Manches- ter without dropping set and duplicated the feat at Seabright, and again in the Maidstone Club
