New England Hurricane
Odds Low This Year
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July ia Harvard
hurricane expert, Dr. Charles F..
Brooks, said today there was
greater chance of another big blow
in New England this year than in
any other year.
DR.. Brooks. director of Harvards S
Blue Hill Observatory, said the
chance for hurricane occurring in
any year was about $50 to /, but
went on to explain the odds were
much lower this year.
The reason, he asserted. was that
the major features of atmospheric
circulation tend to retain or revert
to a general pattern for a year or
more. In addition, the great ex-
tent and frigidity of the Labrador
current this year seems to favor
high pressure over the Grand Banks
and southwark just like last year.

Civil War Veteran, 95, Visits
Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Admirer of President
Eoch Year Recites
Fomous Address

Ninety -five-year-old James F.
Lyon at last has paid his respects
to the leader for whom he fought
in the Civil War.
Yesterday he visited the Lincoln
Memorial for the first time. It was
only natural that the shrine should
be the first place viewed by the
spry soldier, who is spending a week
here with nephew, F.. E. Beardslee
of 2234 Bunker Hill road NE.
A great admirer of Lincoln, whom
he never saw, the white bearded
veteran was particularly interested
in seeing the Gettysburg Address
carved in stone in the memorial.
For just as indelibly his address is
engraves in his mind. He recites
the address each year at Memorial
Day exercises in his home town,
Menominee, Mich.
Pulling away at his pipe, he
wouldn't begin his interview until
it was stuffed with tobacco and
burning, the nonagenarian had to
confess that before the war he did
not think very highly of Mr.. Lin
coin.
Il was a Democrat like my father,
and we were for Stephen Douglas.
II I had been old enough I would
have voted for Douglas, as my
father did. OF course, when the
war began we changed our minds
about Lincoln"
Next to Lincoln Gen. James Will
son was his idol Mr.. Lyon served
in the crack cavalry unit from Wis
consin under command of Gen. Will
son. He entered the war lust after
the boys learned how to fight-and
us Westerners showed them how"
and was active in the Atlanta cam
palgn. A week after Lees surrender
at Appamattox he was wounded in
Alabama.
News travelled slow in those days.

Abraham Rudy, u, Dies;
Spanish War Veteran

Abraham Rudy, 72-year-old Span
ish-American War veteran, died in
the Soldiers Home Hospital last
night. He had been confined there
since June 2, when he was injured
in an automobile accident near Suit
land, Md.
1t was not Immediately known
whether Mr.. Rudy's injuries were
responsible for his death. He was
pinned between a backing truck and
a small shack.
Relatives in Houston, Tex, have
been notified of his death. Mr.. Rudy
was a veteran of one years service,
having been discharged from the
Army in 1899, when it was reduced
by order Of the President.

Borah took issue with that state
ment.
Under the present law, containing
the arms embargo, the President re-
CARDS the administration hands as
tied. Senator McNary suggested
that repeal of the embargo was un-
likely to change the situation much.
Secretary Hull took up the dis
cussion, outlining again his six
point peace program. This program
would substitute for the embargo
system of presidential fixing of
wartime danger zones, from which
American ships and travellers would
be barred.
It would require also that bellig-
erents purchasing goods here must
obtain title to them before shipping
them. It would bar loans and credits
to warning nations as we'll as pro-
hibit solicitation of funds for them
here The Munitions Control Board
section of the present law would
be retained.
Opponents have said and propon-
ents have not denied that repeal of
the arms embargo would be calcu-
lated to aid England and France
They presumably would control the
seas in wartime and also would
have cash to make purchases here.
The House recently declined to re-
peal the embargo entirely, although
it voted to limit 1t to sales of arms
and munitions, omitting the phrase
implements of war" contained in
the present law.
Senator Austin, who has supported
the Hull program, was reported to
have remarked that he believed the
Presidents position, with respect to
repeal of the arms embargo, might
be much stronger next winter.
Ends on Friendly Note.
The conference, acrimonious at
times, was described as having end
ed on a friendly note, with hand
shakes all around. In leaving, Sena-
tor McNary told the President the
Senate would be ready to take up
neutrality early in the next session.
Mr.. Roosevelt was said to have re-
piled that action should come at the
start of the session.
In the executive Offices, mean
while, Mr.. Early was adding in
formal comment to the statements
he had read.
"The Senators are faced with
chances Of a prolonged debate or
filibuster. if you wish to call it
that" he said, "and would prefer to
go home now and risk the chance
OF new crisis in Europe with no
congress on hand.
There seems to be difference of
opinion on whether such a crisis will
develop. The Secretary of State
and the President, on the basis of
their information, think there is a
possibility that it will and think that
If they could get the (existing) neu-
trality legislation wiped of the
books it would strengthen their DO
Sition.
But that seems to be a legisla-
tive impossibility. So there you are. !"

Signs Bill
 Liberalize Social Security

HYDE PARK, Aug. II (P) - President Roosevelt signed a bill making a board of liberalization for the Social Security Act and cutting hundred million dollars off the tax burden it imposes.
 The President said: "These am endments to the act represent an other tremendous step forward in providing greater security for the people of this country. This is especially true in the case of the Federal old age insurance system which is now converted into system of old age surviv- ors insurance, providing life time of family security instead of only individual old age security to workers in insured occupa- tions."

Italian And
 German Foreign Ministers Confer

UNDATED, Aug. 10 (P)-Eu ropean levers rose degree or two over the impending meeting of the Rome Berlin axis foreign ministers; the speech by Danzig's Nazi leader Albert Forster; and Yugoslavia's precarious position in central Europe.
 Conflicting Polish and German demands over Danzig shared the center of the stage with Yugo- slavia, who it is authoritatively reported, turned down German and Italian demands for the use of Yugoslavia territory in war time. Orders were issued in Bel grade to speed the Yugoslav fort ifications on the German frontier.
 The axis demands, which Yugo slavia found incompatible with her sovereignty, included war time control of Yugoslav rail ways, use of her war materials, and the right to cross her terri tory to Rumania or Bulgaria Britain and France promised to support her stand, authoritative reports said.
 The meeting between Italian and German foreign ministers at Salzbarg ito consider ques- tions of common policy" was an- nounced after unconfrmed re- ports that such a meeting was planned to discuss a project de- signed by Hitler, to solve the Danzig problem.

crease both in quantity and val ue of the production of silver, copper, tin, and miscellaneous mineral products.
 Much of the decrease in the value of the mineral commodities is directly attributable to lower prices, as the unit selling prices of silver, lead. and copper, tin, and platinum metals were lower in 1888 than in 1887. Had the prices that prevailed in 1887 held for 1888 the value of Alaska's mineral output in 1888 would have been more than $l,500,000 larger than the total as stated.
The Nome nugget., 1939-08-11

General conditions affecting the Alaska mining industry in 1888 seem to have been essential ly normal, so that there is no req son to believe that the present rate of production marks merely temporary high level that will not be attained again soon. h. stead except for great falling off in copper mining and reason able fluctuations for the other metals, it seems to be a le-,al that will be maintained or e bettered when some of the P jects already under way come 10 production.

 The quantity of platinum met als recovered from Alaska mines in 1888 was much greater than in any preceding year and amount ed to more than 88 percent of the total quantity of all platinum metals that have come from Al aska mines in all preceding years
 In comparison with 1887 there was an increase in both the quan tity and value of the production of gold, platinum metals, and coal, an increase in quantity, but a decrease in value of the production of lead; and a de

Mining in Alaska in 1888

Mines in Alaska produced min erals worth S28,6O7 ,O00 in 1888, as against $26,989,000 in 1887 ac cording to an announcement made by the United States De pertinent of the Interior through the Geological Survey. The total value of the mineral output of the Territory since 1880 is S777,- 818,000, or much more than one hundred times the S, S,200, 900 paid to Russia for the entire ter ritory at the time of purchase in 1867.
 The most significant facts relat ing to the mineral industry of Alaska in 1888 may be summar- ized as follows:
 The value of the total mineral production from Alaska mines in l938 was greater than Tn any other year with the exception of the 3 years, 1915, 1916 and 1917, when the demand for copper ere ated by the World War lifted the output of that metal to unprec- edented heights.
 The value of the output of gold from Alaska mines in 1888 was more than a million dollars greater than in any other year in the entire history of gold min

Puzzled by Meaning of
N0npartisan Board.

To the Editor Of The Star:
President Roosevelt proposes a non
partisan board for w. p. A. I cannot
quite understand what a nonpartisan
board is.
Do Republicans cease to be Repub-
icans when they sit around conference
table with Democrats? De Democrats
in Congress become nonpartisan when
they conduct the Nations business with
Republicans? Tho answer is obvious.
So long as we have w. P. A. or any
other national work setup we will have
politics in it. If the Republicans were
in power that would not change human
nature one iota.
The G. w. A. was the forerunner of
the w. p. A., the F. E. r. A. coming
between the two. saw as much cor
respondence from c. w. A. employees as
any other man in Washington Many
of the same men who directed G. w. A.
are directing the affairs of w. P. A., and
thousands of the same workers who were
in c. w. A. are in w. P. A.
In proportion to numbers involved
there is no more politics in w. P. A. than
in Government departments in Washing
ton. And this is not saying much for
Washington departments and bureaus.
The only difference is tho diplomatic
way of handling the game. Training is
wonderful thing, even in politics.

Parking Meter System

To the Editor Of The Star:
As a motorist who uses his car con-
siderably in the downtown section, I was
much interested in the article in last
Sundays Star about the parking meters.
Your survey confirms my own judgment,
namely, that the parking meters have
been splendidly successful in opening up
parking spaces, in getting rid of the
overtime parker, and in general in giving
the motorist a chance to transact busi-
ness by automobile. Your survey indi-
Gates that motorists. merchants and
police enforcement officers all think the
meters have been working out remark
ably we'll. The lone holdout seems to
be the American Automobile Association
which for some unfathomable reason
condemned the meters out of hand and
made bitter campaign against giving
them even a trial. Now Mr.. Montgom-
cry is quoted in your article as saying
that there is no solution through me-
ters, parked cars must be gotten off the
streets" And he said that terminal
facilities" must be provided. What a

Minority Leader

1t is no small responsibility which
devolves upon Representative Mar
tin of Massachusetts, in his Success
sion to the post of House minority
leader in the Seventy sixth Congress.
For scarcely less essential than an
answerable majority in the effective
functioning of our democratic form
OF government is an intelligent mi
nority. To shape and to direct such
intelligence is largely the task of the
minority leader and his immediate
associates. With the new Congress
facing both domestic and world prob
lens OF most far-reaching implica-
ton, the responsibility is consequent
ly greater.
Embarking on his seventh con-
secutive term in the House, Mr..
Martin came to Washington with a
background of experience as news
paper publisher, public official and
practical politician. Older than the
youngsters but younger than the old
sters, he provided the Republican side
OF the House with blend of real
ism and fundamental freedom of
thought which caused him on several
important occasions to follow a
course independent of the ultra-con-
servative tendencies of his party COL
leagues.
This independence, translated into
terms Of thoughtful appraisal of the
issues to face the new Congress
should serve Mr.. Martin in good
stead in the next two years and, in
serving him thus, should be of value
to his party and to the Nation.
