GEOLOGY PROBE
AIDED BY PENROSE
Bequest Financed Work on
Papers Prepared for
Meeting Here.

Many of the papers to be presented
before the fiftieth annual meeting of
the Geological Society of America,
which opens at the Washington Hotel
q week from today, are the result of
work financed by a man who made q
fortune through his belief in the
science.
The late Richard A, F. Penrose, =
Harvard-trained geologist who left
an estate of $l0,000,O00 acquired
through copper mining at Bingham,
Utah, left 100000 of this money
to the Geological Society in 1881 for
research work
Penr0se Hailed AS Leader.
Government biologists in Washing
ton today hail Mr. Penrose as leader
among those who have realized the
economic value of the science and
have given greatly of their means to
further its cause.
Not so long ago, they pointed. out
today, mining men held seologists in
contempt as "old billy goats who went
around cracking rocks and looking for
fossils"-of no practical use whatso-
ever. The old-time hit-or-miss pros
peetor with his burrow and grub stake
was the standby of the mining engi-
neer.
Now all large mining companies
have large geological STATS which
have proved their value.
Society Among Richest.
Through Mr.. Penrose's bequest the
society is now one of the two or three
richest in the world.
When the meeting opens here next
week subjects ranging from platinum
deposits in Alaska and dam site in
vestigations in Maryland to rock salt
deposits in Pennsylvania and depend
able water supplies in arid Southwest
Texas will be discussed, much of the
data on which they are based being
collected through Mr. Penrose's gift.

helpful to the ultimate goal of gen.
eral peace
The text of Mr. Landon's telegram
to the President follows:
Dear Mr. President:
"A year ago at the Gridiron din
ner, in the spirit of the old American
tradition that politics cease at the
waters edge, pledge you co-opera-
ton and support in the difficult for
eign situation confronting your ad-
ministration
That is a grand principle, and we
must evidence our good faith in it. 1t
means there must be no demogogic
playing Of politics at the expense of
the country's unity in dangerous situ-
ations such as now confront us.
Therefore, want to renew my
pledge, especially in view of the fact
that so many members of Congress, of
both parties, seem to have forgotten
this basic principle of American pol
itics, and by their actions help create
the impression on foreign nations
that they do not trust your admins
tration OF foreign affairs. They would
harnstring your conduct of an ex-
tremely delicate foreign situation.
These members are pursuing the
same dangerous course followed by
those members of the British Parlia-
ment who early in 1914 gave the i'm
preston that England either would
not or could not fight under any cir
cumstances.
Il congratulate you on your firm mo-
to the proposed legislation that would
take away the power of Congress to
declare war. You' and I both know
the American peopl. want peace, but
they want a peace that will enable
us to maintain the respect of the other
nations of the world.
"ALF M. LANDON."
The Presidents reply follows:
MY Dear Gov. Landon:
THE generous spirit of your tele-
gram helps me to meet the problems
which confront our country in the
field of foreign relations during these
troublous times.
The pledge which you gave at the
Gridiron dinner year ago carried
force because of the patriotic motive
which prompted it, The renewal of
that pledge not only strengthens the
hand of the Government, but gives
all of our citizens a good example.
Il believe that the overwhelming
majority Of our countrymen, regard
less OF politics, race, creed or color,
from the days of Washington to this
hour have desired to pursue the even
tenor of their way at peace with all
nations and all peoples
But throughout our long history
we Americans have rejected every
suggestion that ultimate security can
be assured by closing our eyes to the
fact that whether we like it or not we
are part of large world Of other
nations and peoples.
"As such we owe some measure of
cooperation and even leadership in
maintaining standards Of conduct
helpful to the ultimate goal of general
peace.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT"

D. {. RACE BILL
VICTORY SEEN

Indications that the proposal
to legalize horse racing in the
District will win the speedy ap-
proval Of the House District Com
mittee came today at the organi-
Zation meeting of that group.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the committee by
Representative Vincent L. Palmi-
sano CD of Maryland, chair
man Of the subcommittee which
handled the bill last session. He
pointed out today that the re-
vised measure, introduced several
days ago by Representative Mary
T. Norton CD of New Jersey,
chairman of the District Com
mittee, carried certain amend
ments not contained in the bill
under consideration last session
and said he does not object to
the measure in it's present form.
Representative Everett KirkSen
(R) of Illinois, also a member of
the subcommittee which consid-
cred the bill last session, explained
that there were some things in
the previous bill which did not
meet his approval and indicated
that he believed more hearings
should be held to permit members
to clear up little provisions which
they considered unadvisable. 1t
is understood, however that he
would not oppose the legislation,
but merely wants to see proper
bill perfected before it Is acted on.

Party To Make Week :
OF Its Victory
Celebration
BY GEORGE Il. HOLMES
International News Service

Flags flying and spirits high,
the Capital prepared gaily today
to induct Franklin D. Roosevelt
into the Presidency for his second
term at noon tomorrow.
Almost q carnival atmosphere
prevailed in Washington - in
marked contrast to four years
ago, when Mr.. Roosevelt first as
sumed the helm Of government
under the black clouds of a ma
tional crisis so grave that is
chilled the exuberance of the
Democrats, just returned to
power.
This time 1t is different. The
clouds, or most of them, have
rolled away, and the theme song
for Mr.. Roosevelt'S second inau-
guration is Happy Days Are
Here Again."
Incidentally, that rollicking
tune will be played officially TO-
morrow, marking one Of the few
times that anything save military
and patriotic airs have been rem
dered upon so solemn and digni-
fled occasion as the Inauguration
of a President.
Record ThrOngS
It promises to be the biggest
inaugural in many years from the
standpoint of crowds and enthu-
siasm. The completeness Of Mr..
Roosevelt's victory in November,
when he carried every State in
the Union save Maine and Yer.
mont, hauling thousands Of Demo.

bined with better times to send
record-breaking throngs Of people
into the Capital from all parts Of
the country.
Four years ago the hardness or
the times prevented enormous
crowds. Banks were closed, or clos
ing, and even had they been
minded to come, people didn't have
the cash. But today it was differ
ent. Today. they converged upon
Washington from every direction,
thronging the hotels, with money
to spend, and quite evidently in'
