Amused at receiving an engraved in

his regrets" with an explanation that
he would be ''too busy"
When the secretary, catching the
spirit of the situation, placed on the
Presidents desk a proposed declination
of the invitation, worded in proper
social form, the President pondered a
moment and then jotted in ink across
the bottom:

the word think" IN the first sentence.
A similar invitation to Mrs. James
Roosevelt, mother of the President,
prompted her to reply:
MRS. James Roosevelt accepts with
pleasure the invitation to attend the
Inauguration of her son, Franklin

Stephen Early, Presidential secre-
tary, explained that Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson sent the handsomely
engraved invitations in the belief the
President and his mother would like
to have them for souvenirs.

John Barton, paid employe of the
Communist party, was called next.
Recently released from a tuberculosis
hospital, Barton told of three arrests
in Alabama.
Although the Communist party Is
legal in Alabama, Barton said he was
held in each instance for his political
activities.
On his second arrest, in January,
1886, Barton said private detective,
named "McDuff," came to his home
with Birmingham police. Entering
without search warrant and booking
them for investigation the officers
arrested Barton. his wife and a friend.
On one occasion when Barton was
under arrest, he testified, he was ques-
toned by city alderman about Com
munist leaders in the country. The
alderman asked, he said, If Mrs. Roose-
welt. Haywood Broun and other well
known liberals" were Communists.
Resulting from one of his arrests,
Barton said he served 180 days for
possession of communistic literature.
Part of this time was spent in the city
jail of Bessemer, where as many as IA

day from Loyang of the failure Of
efforts to release the 81 Americans
trapped in the revolt-stricken city Of

Barrett was ordered to Loyang. cap

evacuation efforts as soon as the situa-
ton in the walled stronghold Of
Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang's Com
munist- inspired armies became acute.
Reports hltering through the rigid
censorship at Sianfu indicated both
the rebels and the central govern
ment's punitive expedition were pre-
pairing for hostilities.
Embassy officials, although they re-
ported no progress in evacuation at
tempts anywhere in the widespread
northwestern territory which the gov
ernment admits has come under Com
munist influence, still held out hope.
They said they were exploring every
possible avenue Of escape for the
Americans, particularly those believed
held in Sianfu as hostages" to pre-
vent bombardment of the Shensi cap
ital.

would be discarded If such action in

URGED IN REPORT
Jacobs Plan Would Force
Payment and HarSher
Terms.

Under a provision of the fiscal re-
lations formula in the recent Jacobs
report, the District would be forced to
pay the National Government per
cent interest on P. w. A. loans, al
though the original statute authorizing
such loans waived the interest and sub
stituted harsher terms of repayment
than required for other municipalities.
The District, in other words. would
be forced to meet the harsher terms
imposed because the interest was
waived. and then, if the reports recon-
cendations were carried out, would
have to pay the interest. too.
Interest Exemption.
In listing Services rendered by the
Federal for the District government" !"
the report contained this paragraph
on the interest feature of local P. w.
A. loans:
THE funds advanced by the Public
Works Administration to the District
government for w. P. A. construction
projects carry no interest charges for
the first three years. Similar advances
to the States and municipalities bear
interest at the rate Of per cent per
annum. It is recommended that the
waving of interest be withdrawn
through statutory amendment of public
act No. 81, May 6, 1885"
A citizen of one of the States, read
ing that part of the report, would be
justified in reaching the conclusion
that the one difference between non
Federal P. w. A. allotments here and
elsewhere Is that the District Is re-
lieved of interest for three years.
That, however, is only small part
of the story. The rest of it is that,
while the District pays no interest
during the first three years, 1t is re-
quired by special act Of Congress to
repay the principal at the rate OF
81 900, 900 a year. whereas other cities
throughout the county are permitted

the belief, however, that the neces-

Pneumonia Drug Successful
In Tests Made With Mice

Pneumonia is caused by group of
organisms known as pneumococci-
related to the streptococci, yet react
ing in quite different ways. Approx
mately "a groups Of these pneumo-
cocci now are known. The first three
groups are responsible for the great
majority of pneumonia cases. When
mice are infected with human pneu-
mococci strains they invariably die in
two or three days. They have no in
herent resistance. In fact, the in
lection spreads so rapidly that there
is no time for the localization in the
lungs, characteristic of human cases,
before the animal dies. Thus, it was
explained at the National Institute Of
Health today, the term mouse pneu-
monia" is somewhat misleading as o
parellel to human pneumonia.

from the laboratories of the Ma
tional Institute of Health.
While still far from the stage
where it can be used in the treat

that the findings promise to constitute
one of the outstanding medical de-

The treatment, developed by DR..

Blood-smeared fingerprints on the

LANSING, Mich. January IA
Officials of General Motors Corp. and
of the United Automobile Workers,
whose strikes have slashed deeply
into the company's automotive pro-
duction, met for the first time today
across q conference table in the Of
flee of Gov. Frank Murphy.
Gov. Murphy. who requested them
TO meet him without condition or
prejudice" to seek IAN immediate and
peaceful termination" of the strikes
which have thrown 114,000 General
Motors wage earnerS out OF Work,
npened the conference at 11:08 am,
Eastern standard time.
Before the meeting started, Larry
Davidow, union counsel, charged that
Joseph r. Joseph, Genesee County
prosecutor, violated Michigan statutes
by participating in a case in which
an injunction was sought against
strikers in General Motors plans in
Flint. Davidow, who did not parti-
cipate in the conference, said Joseph
owned 81 shares Of the corporations
stock.
Even as the men sat down behind
locked doors here to seek solution in
the tense strike deadlock, additional
National Guard troops ordered out by
the Governor reached the city of Flint
-"hot spot" of the strike-to assist
civil authorities in maintaining order.
Leaders Are Silent.
There was no fraternizing as the
representatives of opposing sides in
the dispute met outside the Governors
ofice in the State capitol. The lead
ers had nothing to say" as they
filed through the double doors and
there was no intimation as to how
long the conference might continue.
The Governor hoped that in this
face-to-face meeting the leaders Of
corporation and union could arrive
at q basis for peace negotiations
which hitherto have been blocked by
opposing stipulations. General Mo-
tors declined to negotiate until stay
in" strikers vacated their positions
inside the plants; the union asked
written guarantees that the corpora
tion would not attempt to remove
equipment or resume operations.
Unusual precautions were taken to
assure privacy of the gathering. The
entire executive suite was cleared Of
visitors on orders of Gov. Murphy.
News men and camera men were
sent into the halls, and even outer
doors were closed.
A delegation of Flint business men
presented the Governor a petition
bearing the names of 1000 persons
described as being employees Of Gen.
eral Motors pleading for swift COM
