DETROIT. Jan. 8 G.N.SO.
Twelve thousand miles from the
home of his honorable ancestors.
Chan Hong Jim, So, awaited
death with Oriental stoicism to-
day, refusing to submit to ampu-
tation Of his feet to save his life
because he believed his body
might remain mutilated in his
Chinese heaven after death.
Chan, suffering from gangrene,
was admitted to receiving hospital
on December 26 and since that
day has politely but firmly waved
aside medical science Of the west
ern world. Only amputation Of
his feet can save his life, doctors
said today.
DR.. John J. PendergaSt, director
Of the hospital, revealed today he
had endeavored to find someone
who can persuade Chan to sub
NIT to an operation, but he has
not succeeded.

LEAVE FOR PARK
WORKERSPROBLEM
Per Diem Employees Not En-
. titled to Sick or Annual
Time Under Order.

Sick and annual leave for per diem
employees of the National Capital Parks
form the subject of sharp division Of
opinion between the park authorities
and the American Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees, the latter group
contending these workers should be
granted leave, it developed today.
While Undersecretary of the Interior
Charles West was represented as re-
questing q report from the National
Park Service on the subject, no con-
f1rmation of this could be obtained.
Frank T. Gartside, assistant super
intendent of the National Capital
Parks, said that per diem workers are
hired only when they are actually en-
ployed and, according to President
Roosevelt's executive order, are not
entitled either to sick or annual leave.
Their appointment is made on that
basis, he contended. There are some
400 per diem employees now on the
rolls of the National Capital Parks.
Undersecretary Vests Office said
numerous queries have been received

.LEvEE DIRT SOUGHT
BY ARMY ENGINEERS
Earth to Build Dyke to Protect
Flying Fields Is Hunted
Nearby.

Where to find 100000 cubic feet of
earth Is problem facing engineers at
Boiling Field and the Anacostia Naval
Air Station.
Plans have been approved and w. p.
A. funds allotted to construct levee
along the river to protect the flying
fields from high water. But both
areas now are low. and there appears
to be no dirt available there to build
the huge dyke.
It will extend from the high ground
south of Boiling Field and opposite the
new sewage disposal plant, north along
the seawall to the high ground at
Giesboro Point, near the old steel
plant.
Army Engineers, under the direc-
ton of Maj. Robert G. Guyer, District
Engineer for the War Department,
hope the necessary dirt may be found
withing 3 or miles, and they have
announced they viii grade and move
without charge any soil of reasonable
quality in amount Of 10000 yards or
more.
They expect nearby real estate de-
velopments may be the source Of some
of the needed material and have prof
ferred their services gratis in return
for the dirt.
