Francis P. Garvan Of the Chemical
Foundation, New York, told the Sen
ate Finance Committee today that
Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., is alive be-
cause of a development of our domes-
tic dye industry"
Garvan said young Roosevelt re-
covered from a recent streptococus
throat infection because of the use of
a chemical which was a waste prod
uct of the dye industry"

dents son as an argument in favor of
protecting the domestic chemical in
dustry.
He attacked the reciprocal trade
program, which the administration
wants extended for three years, as
threatening to block new industries
and scientific research in this country.

McCarran is chairman Of the SUBJ

can be done along that line"
Il don't see how any one opposed to

support that kind of a compromise, "
Burke said. 1T is just as much a
violation of the independence of the
judiciary to increase the courts men,

Charged With Conspiring to
Reveal Naval Secrets
to Japanese.
RJJLLETIN.

John 8. FarnSworth, former lieu-
tenant commander in the United
States Navy, pleaded "nolo con-
tendere"-tantamoun to a plea
of guilty-when he appeared late
today in District Court for trial
on a charge of conspiracy to COM
init espionage.
John S. Farnsworth, who once wore
the uniform of a lieutenant COM
mander of the Navy. will 60 on trial
this afternoon in District Court on
charges of conspiring with two Japa-
nese officials to reveal certain naval
secrets to Japan.
The slender Farnsworth has lam
guished in the District Jail since his
arrest here last July by special agents
of the Federal Buerau Of Investiga-
ton.
Farnsworth readily consented to
pose for photographers outside the
court house. He had shaved his
mustache during his stay in jail and
appeared to have put on some weight.
His arrest followed long investiga-
ton by the G-men and naval intelli-
gence officers The Government is
prepared to parade more than half a
hundred witnesses before Justice
James M. Proctor and a jury in sup
port of the allegations that Farms
worth betrayed his Government.
Two Japanese naval officers who
were named in the indictment as CO.
plotters with Farnsworth will not be
tried, owing to diplomatic immunity.
They are said to be in Japan now, but
at the time Of the alleged conspiracy
they were attached to the Japanese
Embassy here as naval attaches.
The japanese officers are Comdr.
Yosiyuki Itimiya and Lieut.. Comdr.
Okira Yamaki. TheJ were transfer
red from Washington prior to the ar
rest of FarnsWorth.
Naval officers have been summoned
from distant points to testify for the
Government. Much of the evidence
will be of a highly technical nature,
having to do with naval matters IA
miliar chiefly to those in the service.
Farnsworth is alleged to have sought
to obtain vital information from vari-
GUS naval officers with view to SELL
in. the data to the japanese officers.

n in Maine the day Generale

Born in Maine the day General
Grant died, Frank M. Pratt, re-
tired member of the District Fire
Department, came from long
line of seafaring men.
His uncle and his father were
sea captains, so he. too, followed
the sea as a youth, spending sew
eral years before the mast and
sailing the seven seas.
Finally he came to Washington
and was a train announcer at the
old Pennsylvania Station, where
President Garfield was assassin
ated.
In 1907 he joined the fire de-
prtment and was assigned as an
inspector in the Fire Marshals
office, where he served for many
years.
He almost lost his life when he
was trapped by flmaeS in the bal
cony of the old Kernan'S Theater,
but a ladder was finally raised to
him and he escaped.
Although he saw much action
in fighting fires, the important
part of his work was enforcing the
fire regulations and seeing that
theaters and business houses were
made safe.
Not content to lead an inactive
life following his retirement, Mr..
Pratt opened real estate office

WALSH CALLS
NAVY KEY TO
u. 5. SAFETY

Naval defense is the key tt
American safety. without which
the nation cannot hope to pro
tect itself, Senator David I. Walsh
of Massachusetts,, declared last
night.
In the closing address Of Ma
tional Defense Week. the chair
man of the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee said:
TN the event of war, If we
had a nucleus of an active
Army, it can be rapidly ex-
panded. Indeed, the Army must
expand to many times its in
significant peace-time strength
before it could become effective
for war.
NAVY MUST BE READY
"But not so with the Navy.
It must be ready to Withstand
attacks Immediately, at the very
hour that war is declared, and
repel any attempts of invasion
until the Army can be recruited
and trained.
Theoretically at least, If the
T. Navy were strong enough, the
Army never would be called upon
for the purpose of defense"
Citing the experience of George
Washington and the ColoniSts dur
ing the Revolutionary War, Walsh
said:
1--WE had no navy when we
fought the Revolutionary War.
washington lost many battles
and nearly lost the war for one
reason. He was compelled to
watch, helplessly, the continual
landing of foreign soldiers on
American soil, while his own
troops dwindled through battle
after battle.
NAVAL BLOCKADE FACTOR
"The Continental forces had
no ships. Indeed, we probably
never would have won our free
dom had they not been able
finally to prevent the landing of
troops and supplies. Naval block
Rde was the final, if not the de-
cisive factor that made possible
the existence of Ou: nation.
Il know of no better cOntribu-
tiOn we can make to our national
defense than training the thou
sands of fine young Americans
of the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps active and reserve forces.
They hate war but consider it
their highest patriotic duty to
, be prepared to defend our liber-
ties in any unforeseen emer-
gency.
What a mighty force the very
patriotic spirit of such organ
tied youths would become in sup
pressing communism and other
un-AmericanismS that have in
tested so many of the countries
of Europe and are believed to be
prOpagating their un-DemOcratic
doctrine in our own beloved land.
PROFIT BY MISTAKES
''If we could inculcate into all
the young men of the country
the pride of service, the devO-
ton to duty and the respect for
authority that the youth Of
America who have enlisted in
our Army, Navy and Marine
Corps possess, we need have no
fear for the Republic.
LET US read the lessons of
history. Let us profit by the
mistakes of the past. Let not
our love of peace blind us to the
realities in this present-day
world.
"Let us perceive the dangers.
Let US realize the priceless
values of our hOmeS-Our loved
ones and our liberties. Let us
remember again the words of
Washington to be prepared for
war is the most effectual means
Of preserving peace"

material danger. But if you
start your motor in a closed
garage, or permit it to run
in a garage whose windows
and doors are closed, then
your chance of escaping
death is reduced to a mighty
narrow margin.
Carbon monoxide is the
most deadly of all known
deadly gases and the annual
toll of death directly due to it
in this country runs into the
thousands every year. But
one positive and absolute pro-
lection from it exists. Never
start your motor during the
fall or winter in a closed gar
age. Be sure the doors or
windows are open before you
step on the starter, and then
do not permit the motor to
continue running indoors any
longer than necessary. Back
the car into the open. You
are taking your life in your
hands when you follow any

WHY JUNK IT?

This day and time when it's

practice of economy is among
our greatest virtues it's hard
to understand why so many
are wasting when there is no
occasion for it. For instance,
take the housewife who hauls
out perfectly good furniture,
q stove or other pieces of
household goods that are still
serviceable and stacks the
same away in cellar, attic,

one in the community would
be glad to have it at a rea-

Every newspaper in the

about this time each year to
sound a warning against that
deadly enemy of the motor
ing world carbon monoxide
gas. The warning is now
timely, even though it may
be sounded in words with
which local motorists are IA

To those ignorant of the
deadly menace, it may be
said that carbon monoxide is
nothing more than the ex-
haust from an auto engine.
In summer, when tempera-

into the air unnoticed and
with no damaging effect.
During fall and winter
