INITIALS CLUE
TO SKELETON

Possibility that the S kelet n
found in the underbrush near
Greenbelt, Md, two days ago is
that of Charles Lee Miller, war
veteran and taxicab driver miss
ing for almost a year, was enter
tanned today.
Search of clothing on the body
revealed the initials &C. L. NJ" in
a trousers pocket, and there was
an initial "C' on the belt buckle.
Mrs. Lucy Miller, wife of the
missing man, will be asked to go
to HyattSville today to see if she
can identify the clothing as that
Of her husband.
Miller disappeared the night of
July ,28, 1895, and there were re-
ports to police that two colored
men were seen to abandon his taxi
cab at Tenth Street and Rhode
Island Avenue Northeast.
Workmen preparing for a new
subdivision near Greenbelt found
the skeleton and reported to
Prince Georges county police.

the return of prosperity. Econ
omists said it is because love Is
cheaper and psychologists said it
Is because there are fewer strong
minded people.
Most Of the observers, however,
agreed that the increase is due
to the fact that there are more
people in the District than at any
time in the past, excepting the
World War days.
The increase over last year was
a slight one, it was revealed from
the records, as 946 licenses were
issued then.

anese attitude stiffened despite as
surances from Tokyo that every
effort would be made to "localize''
the incident.
For three hours, Mamoru Shige-
mitsu, Japanese ambassador to the
U. s. s. R., conferred at the Krem-
lin with Boris Stomoniakov, Q
member of the foreign affairs CON-
missariat. ..
Await ON Litvinoff
An official statement admitted
the conversations had been "inconr
elusive" and said they would be
resumed at later date when For
eign CommiSSar Maxim LitVinoV
can appear IN person to reiterats
the Soviet stand that the islands
where the sinking occurred belong
to Russia under the Peking treaties
Of 1853 and 1860.
Shigemitsu answered the Soviet
contention in no uncertain terms.
Without referring specifically to
the treaties upon which Russia
bases her stand, he said:
Logically, Japan can accept
no solution other than complete
sovereignty over BOIShOi and
Sennufu Islands, which control
navigation along the AmuP
River. The Amur divides Man
chukuO from Siberia.)
ut is nevertheless our hope
that the question can be settled
peacefully"
The Russian stand as outlined
by Stomoniakov was no less I'M
yielding than that of Shigemitsu.
He rejected the Japanese ambasSa-
doris initial protest over the Incl
dent on the grounds Japanese and
Manchukuoan batteries on the
islands had provoked the crisis.
Russian Version Given
Japan and Manchukuo were
accused by Soviet Russia Of re-

FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT

Reports continue to emanate from washington
that some senators, and part of them from the
South. do not digest the presidents court plan II
the least but that in the long run, they Will sacr
fee their convictions in order to be loyal.
Such issa heavy price, we submit, to pay for 10y
atty to a party to party's head.
If these senator's are deeply and sincerely con-
victed in their judgment and conscience that the
presidents policy is unsound and unwse then
clear duty of course, is to vote their faith and not
their political or personal fealty.
Ever and anon, also, one sees where prospective
candidates for national seat are basing their
future hopes upon the circumstance that they "foE
low the president"
No reservations are inserted. No qualifications
of the statement are coupled with the bait.
They only follow the president and, by infer
ence, at least, they demand and expect popular
support and endorsement that basis.
Following the president is certainly to be COM
mended so long as the way the president is going
s commendabe.
But, we again submit, what this country needs
more than trucking loyalty to party or poiiti@an
or president is strong sober, clear-cut and decd
edly positive convictions as to what is right and
then the courage on the part of men in public life
to follow through on such convictions.-Chariotte

Would it not be Il better plan
