VXTASHINGTON, March A.
w Heirs of Polish financier
who have been trying for a CEN
fury and half to get the govern
ment to settle its last debt of the
Revolutionary War will have to
wait a while longer, it appeared
today.
A few weeks ago Rep. Hess Or,
o. introduced a bill directing
payment to two great-great-
granddaughter of Haym Salo-
mon, whose personal fortune was
borrowed by the Colonial govern
ment to finance the struggle for
independence.
Historians and geneologists
have pronounced the claim valid,
but the bill is gathering dust in
the House Committee on War
Claims.
The committee chairman, Rep
Hoeppel Cd, CALI, withdrew from
participation in House affairs aft
er his conviction on a charge of
selling West Point appoint
ment. No other member of the
group has been willing to assume
responsibility for calling the COM
mittee together in his absence.

ID EP. HESS believes that while
IN Congress is wrestling with
the job of paying off debts of
the World War, it should give
some attention to settling older
obligations.
Had compound interest been &C
cumulating over the years in
which efforts have been made to
get settlement, the claim today
would amount roughly to three
quarters of a billion dollars. Rep.
Hess and the claimants, however,

ceived such f1attering offer
could not help put be prejudiced
on the case he was trying, and
told Trammeil to go ahead with
his du Pont plans.
This leaves a tie of ne-to-one
between the two remaining mem
bers. The case now goes to the
full Board of II, most of them
Mellon appointees. But since the
case is extremely voluminous,
totaling 10000 pages of testimony
and 1000 exhibits, no member who
did not sit through the hearings
can possibly ramiliarize himself
completely with it.
Betting odds, therefore, are that
Uncle Andy will keep his $3,OOO,-

CENATOR COUzENS of Michi-

Mellon when he was Secretary, is
much interested in the matter. So
are other Senators.
Two points interest them. One
is the position of Mr.. Trammell
in representing the du Points in
tax claim before the board of
which he was a member.
The other is the question Of
whether Mr.. Mellon or Frank
Hogan, his attorney, induced the
du Points to tempt Mr.. Trammell
away from the Board of Tax APP
peals.
This question will be difficult to
answer. But while one of the

situation, his telephone rang.

to the public mind was the
enormous complexity, the
daring and the strangeness
of Coast Guard Service the
year around.
Along the coast line of the
United States, Alaska, Puerto
Rico and Hawaii, in stations
ashore and in patrolling vessels,
the Coast Guardsmen move daily
through dramatic routine.
They bring babies, save seals,
burn great mounds of dead men,
pull teeth, snip tonsils, clip ap-
pendices adjudicate family trou-
BILE without use of shotgun.
THEY launch surf boat when
l. there is not a chance in five
of coming back, they marry low
ers and separate those who do
not love each other any more,
and always there is a Costom
signal light ready along the shore
and a breeches buoy not far
away.
1t does not seem to matter
much now, in 1886, that the be-
ginning of the Coast Guard was
in 1877, when the first cutters
nosed down the bay to look for
pirates.
But Commander Stephen S..
Yeandle, of the New York district
said that he thought of some
thing that does matter.
"It is this" he said. Wherever
along the American coast there
is a dangerous reef or shoals or
rocks you'll find the patrol and
there'll be cutter ready when
the patrol light flares.
Here they are: Four hundred
and siXty-one commissioned Of
ficers, 101 cadets in training in a
four-year course at the Coast
Guard Academy at New London,
ITO chief warrant officers, 1854
enlisted men, 277 civilians. That
is a personnel of 10,360.
They have 81 big cruising cut
tiers, Isl patrol boats, and "a har-
Dor craft such as go to the Nor
mandie in the Narrows. That
makes 212 boats. There are 277
stations, too, and Is seaplanes.
A ND what do they do?
L " Instead of statistics here
are some items:
ITEM-"Dit dit dit, dar dar dar,
dit dit dit" 1t was the Moro
Castle.
For the first time the truth, so
hard to ind, is here. The City
of Havana did stand by. The
Andrea F. Luckenbach did, stand
by. The Monarch of Bermuda
did stand by. They brought into
New York 157 urvivors-and
where was the Coast Guard?
Who heard about the Coast Guard
that day?
All the Coast Guard did that
bitter morning was to risk death
20 times and literally from the
heavy seas lift 90 of the 157 who
lived to remember the strange
pleasure voyage and tow the boats
in which 70 more were huddled.
ITEM-There were eight who
jumped down to life from the
schooner Capt Horn.
They had give up hope, all of
them, before the Coast Guard
patrol in the hurricane off Point
Isabel, Tex, saw their weaving
lights.
For two days and two nights
they had drifted and there was no
God in the sky. The wind blew
hard and there was no God any,
where.
Then John Mokerrie, walking
his sandy beat against the wind,
saw the blur of them, lurching
against a horizon not quite so
dark as they were, and he fired
a Coston light, flare cutting the
murk to let them know he was
on his way.
He ran, and within seven min

Sophisticated Reserve

TN discussing Mr.. Cermak with walters who spent
Il more or less time toiling in American speak,
eaSes during the prohibition I discovered
tain sophisticated reserve. They acknowledge, Of
course, the acumen of bandanna emgrant who ar
rived in the promised land without money friends
and came along to be Lord Mayor of the second
American city, but they also knew something about
the general mechanics of ChicagoS municipal poll
tics and something rather particular about the
gambling, bootegging and other underworld interests
OF the city whose support invaluable in the rise
of their fellow countryman. So excepting the faded
photograph of Mr.. Cermak hanging on the turn

pride and the memory of his achievement were
thoroughly controlled.

only recently retired from the presidency to which
he was called by reclamation at the Versailles con-
ference
Perhaps If Tony Cermak had happened along
about 20 years earlier they would have thought
more OF him. but, you may understand he accepted
a heavy handicap when he invited comparison be-
tween his own achievements and those of Thomas

To a tea we wear street clothes,
a dress and coat, or an ensemble.
Men wear business suits. We go
to the tea at any time during the
named hours that we find con-
venient-5 o'clock is a good time.
AS you enter you are directed as
to where you are to leave your
coat and gloves, and you wear
your hat during the tea.
When you have left your wrap,
you go at once to greet your
hostess and host. You chat with
them a minute or two, as long as
you see that it is convenient to
them. for they will be busy receiv-
ing other guests, too. Then you
greet other people you know. and
when you wish, go to the room in
which the ESTABLISHMENTS are be-
ing served.
There will probably be CO

It's been fashionable in London all
