Foreign trade agreements negoti-
ated by Secretary of State Hull

Nav Get New Receiver

District Court Justice Peyton Cor
don indicated today that he will
sign orders shortly for appointment
of new receivers for the National
Benefit Life Insurance Co.. a colored
organization against which some
10000 claims have been filed.
In memorandum opinion on file
in the court today, Justice Gordon
instructed counsel to draw up pa
pers looking to the superseding of
the present receivers. Gilbert A.
Clark and Frank B. Bryan, jr.
II shall ultimately order the cor
poration dissolved under authority
of Sections 794-797 of the Code, "
his opinion stated The jurist is
expected to refer the case to A.
Leftwich Sinclair, auditor of District
Court. for complete accounting of
the affairs of the corporation.
Justice Gordon held that the in
surance company is insolvent and
recalled that application had been
made to the United States Attorney
to file a bill in equity for the disso-
luton of the corporation, but that
that official had declined to do so.
Recently, however, the Shaw-Walk-
er Co. filed a bill in equity asking
that new receivers be appointed to
take over and possess all the prop
erty and assets of the corporation
and to administer them under au-
thority Of District Court.

And Physician
Before Jury
Col. Ashburn Of Columbia
And Dr.. Fred Coe to
Give Testimony

Going into the sixth week of its
investigation Of the medical case,
the special grand jury today had be-
fore it two witnesses.
They were Col. P. M. Ashburn, su-
perintendent of Columbia Hospital,
and DR.. Fred Coe, physician of this
city.
Col Ashburn, who had appeared
once before at the grand jury hear
ings, occupies an important post In
the local hospital situation, as he
is the president of the Association of
Hospital Superintendents of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
It was understood the grand jury
would sit for only three days this
week, adjourning Wednesday eve
ming over the Thanksgiving holiday
to reconvene again the following
Monday.
The jurors are looking into charges
that the American Medical Associa-
ton and the Medical Society of the
District of Columbia have violated
the Sherman Antitrust Act
through their efforts to coerce and
boycott Group Health Association,
Inc. The hospitals we're brought into
the situation because of charges that
the hospitals, on advice of their med
ical stats, had refused to allow the
G. H. A. surgeon to operate on G. H.
A. patients.
The inquiry probably will con-
tinue for a considerable time after
the Thanksgiving holidays, but no
date has been set for its conclusion,
it was understood.

A Czechoslovakian girl would have
won the 1896 skating Olympics if
Hitler had been the judge.
That, at least. is what he told
Vera Hruby, 18-year- -old skating
champion from Prague, according
to the blond, blue-eyed and attrac-
tive skater herself Miss Hruby will
be in Washington at the Capitol
Park Hotel until tomorrow on her
way to New York.
The young skater, whom friends
consider another Sonia Henie," took
fourth in the Olympics and was the
only skater, she said, who was called
to Hitler's box.
How do you like Germany?"
quoth Der Fuehrer, scanning her
Nordic beauty.
Fine" she replied.
"If I had been Judge, you would
have won first place, complimented
the Nazi chieftain.
1t was big thrill at the time, she
confessed, but added that it wouldn't
be any more.
The remedy for weak-ankle skat-
ing, says she. is to tie your skates on
as tightly as possible.
Il tie my skating shoes on SO
tightly" she said, that I often have
cramps after the exhibition"
Miss Hruby, who learned English in
London and has added "okay" to her

vocabulary already, has been skat-
ing only four years after her father
gave her ice skates for birthday
present. But she has studied ballet
dancing since she was four and
credits much Of her skating success
to this.
AS matter of fact, her mother,
accompanying her on the exhibition
tour. makes her do ballet exercises
every morning in her room, she said.
She loves to skate, but sometimes
the training routines WearieS her
They are training me like fighter" "
she said. They tell me what to eat
and when to go to bed and every
thing"
Well could she have dates" and
that did not refer to the fruit of
the palm.
"Dates?" she replied suspiciously,
and then smiled.
Il go out with my friends some
time, but my mother is always
along" she laughed You see they
keep me almost a prisoner"
Miss Hruby practices six hours
day when she is not giving an
exhibition. She does ballet dancing
on the ice. She knows and admires
Sonia Henie, but says Sonia doesn't
know her ANY more" She would
not say why.
Miss Hruby may skate on the new
ice rink to be opened here this week.

where he served until June at Fort
Myer.
At the age of IA Sergt. Devlin
enlisted in a British regiment in
which his father, the late Col.
George Devlin, was an officer. After
various service he was commits
stoned a captain in the Prince OF
Wales Volunteers during the World
War. He was wounded three times
in war and was gassed at Ypres.
Once a bullet glanced his FORE
head, another time German in
fantryman stuck bayonet through
his hand and on another occasion
he was hit by shrapnel. He was
decorated several times and re-
ceived Communications for his war
service with the British.
Following the war, Sergt. Devlin
came to this country and joined
the Sd Cavalry at Fort Myer, in 1923.
He continued with the cavalry there
until his enlistment expired last
June and illness forced him from
active service.
In 1884 he was cited for bravery
for helping remove car from a
burning building at Fort Myer. He
was partially overcome by smoke
at the time.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
Estelle Devlin, Arlington, Va; his
mother, Mrs. George Devlin; two
brothers, Eric and Frederick Devlin,
and sister, Mrs. Clarice Horabin,
all of Lancaster, England.
Funeral services will be held at
10 am. tomorrow in Fort Myer
Chapel. Burial will be in Arlington
National Cemetery. Special services
were held last night by the Ameri-
can Legion at Chambers funeral
home, l400 Chaplin street NV.

The menu would be something
like this: A l0-pound turkey. $3.50;
half a pound of onions for stuffing,
cents; some stale bread, gratis: a
loaf of fresh bread, 9 cents; two
punches Of beets, cents; a can Of
pumpkin for pie. 10 cents: pound
of cranberries. ID cents; four pounds
of sweet potatoes, IS cents; a stalk
of celery, 6 cents; two punches of
broccoli, 18 cents; eggs, seasoning.
nuts, IS cents; fruit, coffee, rolls and
other standard equipment, rs cents;
after dinner mints, 10 cents.
That's rough estimate. A thrifty
housewife could probably do better,
simply by having only six for dinner,
and one who shoots the works"
could do worse, by eating out, for
instance.
For those who like ducklings, they
will be around 10 cents pound on
the webbed foot.

Cut Throat Competition Held
Cause of 29-Cent Turkey

You can have your turkey Thurs
day and, of course, eat it, too, for 20
cents per pound, according to one
of the Capitals leading chain stores,
and it's reasonable to suppose that
the price won't vary much elsewhere
in the city.
This, another chain store repre-
sentative said today, is a give
away price" and is due to cut
throat competition" and not to any
particular surplus in turkeys.
1t is a couple cents cheaper than
last Thanksgiving, but, by way of
comparison, five years ago the same
bird-rather, the same species-sold
for 81 cents a pound
BY lifting a turkey from this
level to the table, dinner for eight,
as planned by an amateur dietician
with an eye on the ads and hand
full of sodamint tablets, can be set
at home for $497.

Capital Man Missing
-Four Days in Boat
Is Sought in Bay
Eornest White Left Old
Plum Point for D. G.
Thursday Afternoon

Unaccounted for since Thursday
afternoon, when he left Old Plum
Point, Calvert County, Md, in a 28-
foot fishing boat for Washington,
Earnest White, 81, foreman of the
National Motorboat Sales. Inc, 800
Maine avenue S.W, was being
sought today by the Coast Guard
patrol boat Calypso.
According to officials of the boat
company for which Mr.. White
works, he left Old Plum Point, some
times called Breezy Point, Thurs
day. Mr.. White was sent to ferry
the fishing boat, a Hooper's Island
power craft bearing the serial num-
bers 13B485, to Washington. Under
normal weather conditions, it was
said, the trip would take day and
a half.
Due here late Friday, Mr.. White
failed to appear Thinking the voy-
ager might have had engine trouble
or some other minor difficulty, A. B.
Clark, company president, waited a
telephone call from his foreman. 1t
was also thought best not to alarm
Mr.. Whites wife, seriously ill at
the home of friends, at 403 G street
NV.
However, when three days passed
with no word from the missing man,
Mr.. Clark sought the aid of the
United States Coast Guard. From
Baltimore, the guardsmen dis
patched the Calypso to trace the
projected route of Mr.. Whites trip
to Washington. The patrol boat will
cover the waterway from Old Plum
Point through the Chesapeake Bay
and thence up the Potomac River In
the hope of sighting the missing
craft.

Two Women Beaten
By Thugs, Who Get
81 for Trouble
CoIored Man Is Relieved
of $50 and Shoe Store

Two women were beaten by thugs
last night in daring robbery at
tempts which together netted but 81.
The victims were Mrs. Grace
Guest, 50, of 3l24 P street NV. and
Mrs. Helen Quigley, IS, of 56l6 Sec
ond place NV.
A young colored man stopped
Mrs Guest in the 5000 block of @

tion of an address. AS she was about
to reply he struck her in the face
with his fist, police were informed,
grabbed her purse and fled. 1t con-
tanned 81.
The other thug, an 18-year -old
white boy. rode from the downtown

and threw her to the ground, &C.
cording to police, but fled empty

Retail Liquor Credit
Rule Amendment
Sought by Seal
Official Notice Urged
When Dealer Folls
Into Delinquency

Amendment Of the regulations
governing the reasonable credit"
allowed Washington retail liquor
dealers, to require that all manu-
facturers and wholesalers be given
official notice when a retailer has
fallen into credit delinquency" was
recommended to the Commissioners
today by Corporation Counsel FL
wood H. Seal.
Proposal Studied.
His action was taken after several
weeks of study of proposal by the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
for a change in it's own rules to re-
move it from what it believes to be
the improper practice of acting, in
directly, as a collection agency" for
manufacturers or wholesalers. The
whole question revolves around the
problem of preventing an undue tie
up between retailers and either the
wholesaler or manufacturer without
placing the A. B. c. Board too def
nitely in the position of being a
collection agency"
Two public hearings have been
held by the A. B. C. Board on its
proposed change in the rule. Under
the authority of Congress giving the
Commissioners or the A. B. c. Board
the right to place a reasonable"
limit on credit extension, the board
now has rule that payments must
be made by the 18th of the month
for any stock purchased during the
preceding month, which limits the
credit extension to a maximum of
As days.
Opinion Asked.
George w. Offutt, chairman of
the board, had asked for an opinion
as to whether the board had the
right to deny renewal of a liquor
license because a retailer had failed
to comply with the credit regulation
and therefore had been placed on a
cash payment basis. The answer
given by Mr.. Seal, for the time being
at least, transfers the issue from the
board to the Commissioners.

In the past District prisoners in

ing 1000 hospitals in the United
States and Canada, yesterday ap-
proved New York's 3-cents-a-day plan
for group hospital care at a luncheon

DR.. c. Rufus Rorem of Chicago,
director Of the Committee on Hos
pital Service of the American Hospital
Association, sent his congratulations
to Karl Eilers, president of the Asso-
clated Hospital Service.
Hospital care insurance" said the
message, "is not panacea for the
public or the hospitals, but it does
help the patient by paying his hos
pital BILL the doctor by increasing the
chance Of collecting a fee, the tax
payer by removing some people from
unsupported to private hospitals, the
business man by decreasing the need
for philanthropy and the general pub
lie by removing the economic barrier
to the receipt OF hospital care"
