SMALL BUSINESS GIVES PRESIDENT PROPOSALS LIST
Recommendations Include Request Repeal of
 Certain Taxes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Twenty- three recommendations to assist in the combat of the business reces- sion were placed today before Pres ident Roosevelt by committee rep resenting the Small Business Mems Conference
 White House officials said Presi- dent Roosevelt thought the large majority of the recommendations were constructive and possible of fulfillment.
 The list included recommenda- tions for repeal of the undistribut- ed profits tax, private federal loans to small business men, curtailment of government expenditures and a campaign to stimulate business.
 The long list was read to the Pres ident at an hour and a half confer ence in the White House, by Fred Roth, chairman of the two days session of Little Fellows of Busi- ness"
 Roth told reporters, We had a most pleasant and sympathetic meeting with President Roosevelt and we know that great good will come out of the conference" President Roosevelt told a press conference later that in noting pub Iislfad comments of tha Small R11s- mess Mems Conference, he thought it unfair to ridicule either those who attended the conference or their efforts.

MAN OF TIVE PEOPLE NOW
 AT CAPITOL.
Battle Against Crime Forms Theme of Dramatic
 Picture

Metro -Goldwyn Mayer tonight pre- sents Joseph Calleia in new role, this time as a hero instead of a villain. The picture is Man of the People, playing tonight and tomof- TOW at the Capitol Theatre.
 The original story, a novel of the same title by Frank Dolan, ex- New York tabloid reporter, pictures a modern city and the political ma chine which makes it go. Dolan wrote from hirsthand knowledge and the picture follows his story
 CaIleia draws the character of a poor boy who has risen through struggle to the post of assistant prosecutor. The disgusting repeti- tion of crooked politics stirs him to action but he is powerless. He loses the job. A sympathetic gov ernor appoints him to head an in vestigating committee interested in corrupt corporations.
 The first corporation upon which he alights happens to be one of the crookedest of them all and, also, one in which the mother of his sweetheart is a heavy stockholder. The young attorney plunges and wins both the case and the girl.
 Calleia has the best role of his career which is saying great deal. Florence Rice in the romantic role continues her steady ascent to star dom, unaided by her famous par ent, Grantland Rice. the sports columnist. Ted Healy provides com edy, and capable supporting cast includes Thomas Mitchell, Cath arine Doucet, Paul Stanton and Jonathan Hale.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4. = Lorraine Manville Dresselhuys, heiress to some ten million dollars of the Man. Iville asbestos fortune and wife of the Dutch industrialist, Cornelius Dresselhuys, has become the sec ond American heiress of late to re- nounce American citizenship.
 As her action, preparatory to be- coming a Dutch subject, was dis closed, her brother, Tommy Man vile, sharply criticized her.
 T don't think it's right" he re- marked I'm very angry at her. After all, our father made his money in this country Why take it out?' Mrs. Dresselhuys, who is blonde and thrice-married, changed her al Ilegiance even as the Countess Haugwitz Reventlow, the former Barbara Hutton, adopted the native country of her Danish husband some time ago.
 l The Manville heiress, it devel- oped, renounced the United States before a Brooklyn Federal judge several days ago. She left the next day on a yachting trip and now is understood to be cruising some where off Miami, Fla.
 Mrs. Dresselhuys has one child, Lorraine Manville Gould, by her first husband, Clarence Gould. She met him while appearing on the stage.

TUNNEY SEEKS
BOUT FOR COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, June "a
GN.SO.-San Francisco's drive
for a heavyweight championship
fight next spring on Treasure
Island gained momentum today
when Gene Tunney officially be-
came New York representative of
a committee of prominent Cali
fornia sportsmen who are negoti-
ating with Mike Jacobs.
News of Tunney's acceptance Of
the post was received in a tele-
gram to Harcs Connick, chief di-
rector of the exposition. Tunney,
former heavyweight champion,
will see Jacobs for discussion Of
the proposed fight at the San

panying Tunney will be George

MATS OuTFIELD.
SEEMS SET FOR
REST OF SEASON
Special to The Washington Times

Special to The Washington Times
ST. LOUIS, June 24.-After
wobbling through the uncertain
ties of spring training and digging
into the first semester Of the regu-
lar season, the Mats outfield seems
to have taken on a pretty definite
aspect.
Up until the Mats struck the
road on the current tour through
the hinterlandS, the washington
lineup resembled something Of a
baseball crazy quilt whose patch
work was more of a May-and-De-
cember alliance, studded wit h
dazzling speed and Slowfooted-
ness, experience and inexperience,
age before beauty, and brains VS..
Drawn.
JOB is STEADY
But now, the slow metamor-
phosiS has about caught up with
the Washington lineup and, II you
will take note, the Mats batting
order is wiggling away from its In
again-out-again basis and tn e
players are taking root in perma-
nent jobs.
Although Bucky Harris has
grasped the most from his ma
terial at hand, switching his line
up to fit his needs, WaShington's
outfield at last seems to have be-
come a solid unit with its Sim
mons, West and Case.
Somehow Simmons was left out
of the scheme at the start. They
left his job open to the rockies,
Case or Wright and the Simmons
Job was theirs for the taking.
Johnny Stone and Mel Almada
were set down as fixtures, for
some insane reason. Almada
didn't belong. 1t was, as one Of
the Mats said the other day,
when he went up there and
jumped away from the plate it
made the rest Of us plate-Shy. It
had terrible effect on the whole
team"
Almada was a fancy fly catcher,
although he was something tanta-
mount to mediocre when it came
to tracking down hard hit ground
ers. He probably saved Washing
ton pitchers considerable embar-

opponent with a right to the
chin.
Outside Of the ropes a grey
haired man with the telltale ear
Of the fighter, clenched his fists
and rolled with the punch.
Agony was on his face and fear
was in his heart, but with the
show of a fighting man he tried
to conquer his emotions.
"Never mind your right hand,
Arthur. Win with your left" he
cried to the youth who struggled
gamely against the mastery OF
his opponent.
The grey.haired old man was
Prof. Mike Donovan, one-time
middleweight champion. He was
one of the few men to last four
rounds with John L. Sullivan
when the Boston Strong Boy
was at the peak Of his prime.
The young man who tried so
samely to fight Mike Gibbons
was Arthur Donovan, who ref
creed the Schmeling-LouiS fight
on Wednesday night.
With his background, Arthur
Donovan could not escape great
ness in the field that made his
father famous, and which, in
turn his father graced with a
corrtliness Of the old school.
Arthur Donovan was q good
fighter, who deported himself
under fire with all the gallantry
of his race.

events in this classic, which dates
back to 1852.
There will be a long lull this
afternoon in which everyone will
turn out at the ball park to see
Yale and Harvard in one of their
most important baseball games.
The main event, the four-mile up
stream varsity race, will take
place at $40 p. m. (E. D. To.
-Four members Of the Harvard
boat, favored chiefly because Of its
decisive victory over Navy in its
last start, roWed in the shell that
defeated Yale here last year. They
are Stroke Spike Chace, Douglas
Erickson, No. 6; Walter Herman,
No. 4, and John Richards, No. 2.
There will, therefore, be poise
to spare in the Harvard boat, not
to mentiop the superb power that
these men have mustered for
every race in the two seasons now
nearing completion.
BEATEN ONLY ONCE
In that long span Harvard has
been beaten only once-then by
Navy In a defeat that was
thoroughly avenged this year.
There Is q remarkable physical
similarity between the two vars
tiles but q distinctive difference
in their rowing styles. The
Harvard boat is employing a leg

Of the few who remains by his

The Donovan Code

The Gibbons fight finished
Arthur Donovan as a contender
for championship honors. He
returned to the New York Ath-
letic Club, where under his
father, he became high-clasS
instructor of boxing. His code
as q fighter and as an instructor
was that the better part Of true
courage was craftsmanship, and
the better part of sportsmanship
was human understanding Of sit
uations that arose in the ring.
It was inevitable that Arthur
Donovan should turn his talents
to officiating in the ring. 1t
perhaps was a natural gratifica-
ton of an IriShman's thirst for
leadership, but the ring game
has been the gamer.

easily increased it two and q half
lengths at the finish line. Har-
wards time was 10 minutes and
five seconds. Yale'S time was 10
minutes and 1925 seconds.
The junior varsity race was a
nip-and-tuck affair al the way,
with Yale leading at the mile mark
by less than a yard. Harvard
then gradually pulled into the lead
and won by one-third Of a length.
Harvard's time was 10 minutes,
a and rs seconds; Yale's was 10
minutes, 80 and 2-5 seconds.
