Maharana Arrives
With Party Of Six on
Sightseeing Trip
Ruler Of Indian State
Ending Two-Month Trip
Through U. S.

Accompanied by an elevator full
OF luggage, the encourage of his
hlghness the Maharana Saheb of
Dharampur arrived here yesterday
on a sightseeing visit. In the group
with the Maharana are the follow
ing: His 12year-old daughter, his
private physician, two secretaries
and two servants.
1t was maintained that the visit
it without political significance and
is not even the conventional good
Will tour 1t is the conclusion of
tWo-month trip through the country
in which the party visited many of
the national parks and major cities.
Established in a suite in the
Shoreham Hotel, the party spent
most Of yesterday and today viewing
Washington sights. No visits with
Government officials were contem-
plated, it was said.
His highness comes from a small
state near Bombay, India, where he
has ruled more than l8 years. Dur
ing his reign he has instituted a
number of Modern Improvements
which gave his people free education
and socialized medicine. Education
and medical aid are free alike to
rich and poor.
First Visit to U. S.
After his tour of this country,
the Maharana was said to like Amer
lean food and the scenic beauty of
the Western parks. Although this
is his first visit to the United States.
he has done considerable travelling
about the world.
Although he comes from one of
the smaller states, 704 square miles,
he has several large palaces and
what was termed "a big string of
automobiles" His state is devoted
primarily to agriculture and lum-
bering, but only small part is un-
der cultivation.
Dharampur is in the Surat polit-
ical agency of the division of Bonn
bay. A tribute of 610 pounds is paid
the crown with Bauda and Sachin. =
With only one major city, named
after the native state, the popula-
ton is primarily rural The state
is 120 miles from Bombay.
The Prince, who is 55 years old,
is a great hunter and has a record
bag of 300 tigers to his credit. In
stead of shooting from elephant
back or ambush, he prefers to be
located in a tree stand. One mem
ber of the party remarked that with
the Prince tiger hunting was not
dangerous because he is an excellent
shot. He then added that, of
course, the hunting party was To-
Gated high up in tree. and this was
an added safety factor.

Convicted Murderer's
Execution Is Postponed

Justice T. Alan GoldSborough in
District Court today postponed the
execution of James Bostic, 26-year-
old colored convicted murderer, who
was slated to die in the electric
chair here two weeks from today.
Bostic thus receives an official lease
If life until November 3.
Bostics lawyer, Martin S. Villas.
filed a petition for rehearing in the
United States Court of Appeals to-
day, asking that tribunal to recon-
slider its refusal to grant Bostic a
writ of habeas corpus. Last Monday
the appellate court sustained Dis
trict Court finding which denied
Bostic freedom on a habeas corpus
writ.
The contention was made by Bos-
tics lawyer that the first-degree
murder indictment under which he
was convicted was faulty in failing
to allege the place of death of the
victim and also that an allegedly in
experienced attorney had been as
signed to defend him at his trial.
Bostic is accused of the fatal
shooting of William Tuckson, jr.,
16, colored, in 1896.

themselves with the counties and
States in which they were situated
as normal, taxpaying communities.
And lastly, if such communities
are not to be based on admitted
Government subsidy, they should
be made financially self-sustaining
from start to finish.
Much has been and will be learned
about suburban community plan
ming through the Greenbelt prof.

rent operations and civic develop
ment they should not be judged
too harshly at this stagee.
After all, municipal maturity
