Continued Spending Held
Essential by Leaders

Continuance of public spending
as means of keeping the country
on a rising business trend was de-
clared essential yesterday by "a
bunch of progressives getting to-
gether again with the natural boss"
The characterization was offered
by Rexford G. TugWell. one-time
New Deal -truster. after call
on President Roosevelt by himself,
Mayor La Guardia of New York
and Gov. Earle of Pennsylvania.
Gov. Earle, soon to relinquish his
office, predicted starvation and
hunger riots" If spending is stopped.
He said he was convinced the Presi-
dent would combat efforts of any
conservative block of Republicans
and Democrats" to cut down on
P. W. A. and w. P. A. appropri-
ations.
Mayor La Guardia, who had lunch
with the Chief Executive, said he
was sure Congress would appropri-
ate to meet the needs of the coun-
try"
Mr.. Tugwell, former resettlement
administrator and now chairman
of the New York City Planning
Commission, agreed with the others
that additional spending was neces-

Indian surgeons were amputating
legs and providing artificial ones in
Peru before Columbus, DR.. w. M.
Krogman of the University of Chi
cago reported.
Studies of Indian bones, he said,
show that Is per cent of all young
adults suffered from arthritis and
from IL to IS per cent, depending
on the tribe, of all ages had bad
teeth. The average Indian, he
found, lived about 35 years, a trifle
better than the average white man
at the time.
An appetite-stimulating hormone
from the pituitary gland in the
brain was described by Drs James
P. Schooley, Oscar Riddle and Rob-
ert w. Bates of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition of Washington.
This is prolactin, the potent chem
ical which also stimulates milk Sc
cretion. When the pituitaries OF
pigeons were removed, the expert
menters found, weight and appetite
fell off together so that the birds
ate less than a fifth as much as
their normal companions.
When prolactin alone was given
them it did more toward making
them eat, and hence maintaining
their body weight, than any of the
other pituitary secretions.

A 23-year-old colored man, Jesse
Parker, 5416 Thirtieth place NV,
was charged by Montgomery County
police today with attempted attacks
on two women. one of them colored,

names of the victims, but said that
both had identified Parker.
Montgomery County police have
been investigating the case for the
past two days in order to determine

with similar cases reported about a
year ago. Several victims were to

The Camera Launches
A New Fraternity

The camera has become the pass
port to impromptu friendships to
such an extent that it needs no more
than the display of ones camera in
park or street or aboard ship to
strike up an acquaintance with any
other camera toter in sight. This
has happened to Jacob Deschin of
Scientific American on several occa-
sions. I'VE would be poking the
camera up at some building or other
and before We had finished" he
writes, some one would come up
and want to know what stop and
shutter speed were used, what film,
what filter and so on. In no time at
all we would be talking on camera
subjects In general with the free
dom one usually employs with a
friend Of long standing. This un-
falling open sesame to acquaint-
anceships that characterizes the
camera fraternity led me to invent
new term, namely, 'cameramour,
and the camera user as camera
morist.' Camera love and camera
lover seem a bit far-fetched when
heard for the first time. But how
about bibliophile? Persons who COL
lect first editions of books think
this term to be quite proper and
aptly descriptive of the book COL
lector."

Senator Wheeler, Democrat, O.

ter. refused yesterday to use his "in-
fuence to bring about reconsidera-
ton of the appointment" of Col. F..
c. Harrington, w. P. A. administra-

He termed a "falsehood" state
ment reported to have been made
by an official of the alliance to the
effect that he and Vice President
Garner were responsible for the
appointment"
Declaring this statment is in line
with previous Misrepresentation" Of
the Senator's attitude toward the
needy, he wrote:
You have listened to every crook
ed and cheap politician If you
have the common decency to 60
back over the record, you would

to fill the vacancy created by re-
tirement Of Admiral Cluverius.
1t also was announced that two
selection boards will be convened
at the Navy Department January
9, one to recommend not more than
three officers of the Medical Corps
in the rank of captain for advance
ment to the rank of rear admiral
and the other to select 125 lieu
tenants of the line for promotion
to rank of lieutenant commander.
46 Years in Service.
Admiral Cluverius has had 46
years of active service, beginning
with his appointment to the Naval
Academy from Louisiana in 1892.
He was born in New Orleans De-
cember Is, 1874. He was serving
as naval cadet on the battleship
Maine when she was sunk in
Havana Harbor February IS, 1898,
and served throughout the Span
ish-American War in various ships
in Cuban waters. He also partici-
pated in the Philippine campaign,
1899. and commanded a battalion
at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1914.
For his services during the World
War as commanding officer of the
U. S. S. Shawmut, engaged in
mining the North Sea, he was
awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal. In June, 1890, he assumed
command of Battleship Division 2,
Scouting Fleet. and later served as
chief of staff of the commander in
chief. United States Fleet.
In addition to four service medals,
Admiral Cluverius holds the deco

borer-farmer class, one in 80 for the
sons of semi-skilled laborers and one
in IS for sons of unskilled laborers.
For high school graduation he
found the chances by classes as fol-
lows:
White collar workers, four in 10;
farmers and skilled workers, one in
three; semi-skilled workers, one in
four; unskilled workers, one in nine;
farm laborers, one in 80.
Thus, he said, pattern of class
distinction is being laid down which
will keep children in the same gen.
eral social ranks as their parents, in
violation of the most cherished
American traditions 1t is not, he
stressed, a matter of hereditary in
telligence, because recent studies
have shown that intelligence has
very little to do with economic
status.
Plants need their vitamins in
moderation
Drs. David I. Macht and Mary Lou
Grumbein of Baltimore reported on
sweet pea seedlings grown in solu-
tions containing vitamins A, B, C
and D. When they used as much as
one part in 25O,O0O of the vitamin
mixture in their saline solutions the
growth of the plants was inhibited.
They were stimulated, however,
when this was reduced to one part
in 10 00C 000 of vitaminS r and e.
While there is some difference be-
tween peas and men, they feel that
the experiment should serve as
warning against indiscriminate TAX
ing of all sorts of vitamin mixtures.
An overdose or wrong combination
may do more damage than a total
lack.
Nature has a defense mechanism
against producing giants, accord
ing to report presented today by
DR.. Gerhard Fankhauser of Prince
ton University.
Last winter he found four "trip
loid salamanders." These are ami
mails in the nucleus of each of whose
body cells are three, instead of the
normal two, sets of chromosomes.
Artificial production of precisely
this condition in plants is resulting
in some notable new species.
Naturally the cells are larger.
But, he found, the number of cells

of active service. During the World
War he was a member of the Navy
Compensation Board and in 1919
became Fleet paymaster of the At
lantic Fleet. He was appointed pay
master general of the Navy and
chief Of the Bureau of Supplies and
Accounts for four-year term in
1921 and then became member of
the Naval War Claims Board. In
1884 he was named general inspector
