THE HAGUE-The Neither
lands is fully prepared for all
eventualities and her mobili-
zation stands as a guarantee
to all belligerents that her neu-
trality will be maintained,
Premier Dirk j. DeGeer said
in a speech broadcast to the
nation and its colonies Mon
day.
His statement was regarded as
an answer TO German official and
press criticism that the Neither
lands and Belgium were endanger-
ing their neutrality by submitting
to the British blockade.
He said there was mot the least
ground for the wild rumors that
have been circulated the past few
days about an acute, threatening
danger to our country"
U. S. Minister George A. Gordon
conferred with Queen Wilhelmina
Sunday night but suggestions that
the conference indicated an in
terest by President Roosevelt in
the Belgium-Duteh peace pro-
posals lacked confirmation.
I'm Berlin the official Ger
man neics agency said Ger
man political circles believe
the British and French replies
TO the Queen Wilhelmiaa and
King Leopold peace appeal
"sabotaged" the mediation
offer.
The government has not the
slightest reliable information at
hand which could shake its belief
in assurances received from both
warning powers" De Geer said.
There il no more acute
danger than during the first
days Of September"

Plan
For Security Might
Double Taxes
Dropping Reserve Would
Make Boost Necessary,
Congress Is Told
BY the Associated Press.

6y Inc Associated freSS.
Congress learned today from Rus
sell R. Reagh, a Government actuary
that Social Security taxes for old
age pensions would have to be al
most doubled If the system were put
on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Republicans have been demanding
that 1t be put on such a basis and,
the plan for building up a huge re-
serve fund scrapped.
Testifying at hearings on the
Treasury-Post Office appropriations
bill, made public today, Mr.. Reagh
asserted that under existing law, an
employe will pay no more than
per cent, but his tax ultimately
would be about 5la per cent on a
pay-as-you-go basis. Employers
would match the contributions of
employees.
Peak About Year 1000.
According to present estimates,
Mr.. Reagh said, the Social Security
fund and payments from it would
reach peak in about the year 2O00
The reserve fund in that year would
be in excess of $4,000 ,OO0, 900 he said,
while annual payments would be
something over $3,500,000, 900 and
Social Security tax collections about
$4,000, 900 900 a year.
At 3 per cent interest, the reserve
fund would yield $1,5OO,OOO,OOO an
nually and make up the difference
between tax collections and benefit
payments.
At one point. the actuary as
serted: I'm so far as our estimates
are concerned, we do not figure on
the margin of safety that an insur-
ance company does when it under
writes annuities or life insurance"
Townsend Plan Studied.
Later he said there was q fair
margin of safety" for those covered
by the Social Security Act now. If
persons who come in for short Pc
riods are excluded.
Questioned about the Townsend
old-age pension plan, Mr.. Reagh
said the proposal had been studied
In 1885.

OF consideration the probability of
imitation which would reduce the
value OF dollars paid out on such a
scale" he said, I'VE would ultimate

Committee Heads
Confer With Bark|ev
To Chart Course
PorIey Is Aimed at
Expeditine Work for
Adjournment

Administration leaders in the
Senate will seek today to chart q
legislative course aimed at expedit-
ing the work of the present session
OF Congress and enabling it to ad-
journ before summer.
With the Senate in recess Ma ior-
ity Leader Barkley has summoned
chairmen of all important Senate
committees into conference this aft
ernoon to canvass the status of ma
jor bills now pending. Although
Senator Barkley declined to outline
a definite agenda for the meeting
he declared 1t reasonable to assume
that principal legislative problems
were those of railroad aid, neutral
ity. labor relations. relief, farm aid,
communications, Social Security
Act revisions and probably reor-
ganization.
Along these same lines, Speaker
Bankhead told reporters yesterday
President Roosevelt had indicated
there would be no additional leg
islation submitted to the present
session. Accordingly, he said, the
House would seek speedy passage of
the regular appropriation bills and
attempt to clear its calendar of
other pending issues in time for
early adjournment.
Criticism Of lack of a more con-
crete administration program was
voiced on the Senate side yester-
day by Minority Leader McNary, but
he promised Republican co-opera-
ton in efforts for an early adjourn
ment.

Letter Carriers
Complain of Wait
For Green Liqhts

Three downtown mail carriers
have complained that pedestrian
control is delaying their delivery
schedule, Capt. Milton Smith of the
police traffic division reported today.
They have a certain schedule to
cover and say they can't waste any
time" the captain stated. "Ac-
cording to three policemen, these
carriers complained they have to
wait Is seconds when they are COM
PEELED to stand by for signal light
to change"
The intersections where the mail
carriers objected to pedestrian con-
troll were T street at Eleventh and
Twelfth streets and Twelfth and G
streets.
Capt. Smith, however, offered
them no exemptions and said he
would suggest to Inspector B. A..
Lamb that the matter be taken up
with the superintendent of mail
carriers.

Deputy Register Of Wills
Is Author Of Book

First Deputy Register of Wills Vic
tor S. Mersch today announced that
his new book, entitled Probate
Practice in the District of Colum-
bia," has just come from the press
and is dedicated to Register of Wills
Theodore Cogswell of District Court.
The publication, Mr. Mersch ex-
planned, contains suggested forms of
all the usual Probate Court plead
ings notes on current practice in
the Probate Court and a chapter or
Probate Court accounting. The ap-
pendix includes the new probate
rules, the rules of District Court
relating to civil actions that are re-
ferred to in the probate rules, ex-
cepting the rule on investments. This
rule, Mr.. Mersch said, is omitted
because the register of wills publishes
periodically list of approved Sc
curities, available to court fiduciaries.
The appendix also includes the
District of Columbia Inheritance
and Estate Tax Act, the substantive
law provisions of the recent Adop-
ton Act and the Estates of Absen-
tees Act and the 1885 amendments
in descent and distribution statutes.
The deputy register of wills
pointed out that some lawyers still
use the 1924 edition of the 1901
District Code, as amended, because
of its more compact, convenient
form, in preference to the Code of
1880, and therefore citations to code
sections in the new publication have
been duplicated to cover both edi-
tions.
Mr.. Mersch was appointed first
deputy register of wills by Col.
Cogswell in 1927. His first legal
writing was as associate editor, in
1922, of the Law journal of George
town University Law School, from
which he obtained his degree of
bachelor of laws in 1923. He Sc
cured his master of laws degree
from George Washington Univer-
sity Law School in 1929. His thesis,
voluntary Payment to a Foreign
Administrator" was published in
the Georgetown Law journal and
has since been cited in works on
wills and conflict laws, including
the work now used as a text at his
alma mater.

Plus Will Leaves
All Possessions
To the Holy See
Personal Gifts Are Made
To Some of His
Closest Aides
By the Associated Press.


VATICAN CITY, Feb. 24-L'Os-
servatore Romano disclosed today
that the late Pope Plus XII left all
his possessions to the holy see ex-
cept for some personal objects which
he instructed be distributed among
his closets assistants.
The Vatican City newspaper said
the pontiff's last testament named
as executors his two private secre-
taries, Msgrs Carlo Confalonieri
and Diego Venini.
1t said the will consisted of a few
pages written in the Popes own
hand. The first page was dated May
81, 1927, and the last January 16,
1899.
Value Declared Not Great.
The last sheet was prefaced with
the words:
That which herewith follows are
the dispositions of my last desires
in the holy name of the good and
blessed God
He referred to his personal pos
sessions as Of mot great pecuniary
value
Several objects of artistic or
sacred value were left to the aVtican
Library, the Christian Museum and
other institutions in which he had a
special interest.
Selected Resting Place.
The final page contained DISPOSE
ton for disposal of the pontifNs
body. 1t read:
Il dispose with especial wish that
my body be deposited intact near
and behind the resting place of Plus
K, Of dear and venerable memory,
who summoned me to the Vatican
library, and not far from that of
Benedict XIV. also of dear and ven-
cradle memory, who so shortly be-
fore his death summoned me to the
see of SITS. Ambrogio and Carlo and
to the sacred college of cardinals.
Many persons, who never ceased
coming to pray at their tombs, will
have, we are confident, thought and
prayer also for their unworthy sue
cessor."
The document was ended in Latin
with Into Thy hands, o LORD, 1
deliver my SOUL"

approved by Arthur B. Heaton,
chairman of the Public and Pri-
vate Buildings Committee of the
Washington Board of Trade, who
expresses his personal opinion" as
follows: "The auditorium should be
placed in a central location, as near
as possible to hotels because con-
vention members using the building
to a great extent come from out OF
town and therefore stay at hotels;
they would use taxis to go to meet
ings several times a day; for civic
use, it would be central for all at a
downtown location.
Traffic conditions at the location
selected by the Capital Auditorium
Commission are not at peak at times
when meetings are over, except pos
sibly the latter part of the afternoon,
Morning meetings terminate between
1890 and pm, afternoon meetings,
$50 to 6 pm; evening meetings. 10
to IL pm. The peak traffic for Gov
ernment departments is over about
Sis pm. Parking around the select
ed site is very good because of the
wide streets, and, of course, this
problem should be studied with the
building as to suitable parking areas
available.
Urges Downtown Site.
I'VE all know and have known for
a good many years that the Capital
of the Nation needs an auditorium
not only that We self1shly want peo-
pie to come here for conventions, but
people of the Nation want to come
here. They do not because they have
no place in which to meet, and am
afraid these visitors will not come if
they have to go several miles to every
meeting they want to attend.
Il am in thorough accord with the
armory at the end of East Capitol
street, but for local affairs only, for
which the location is good.
Let us get together and indorse the
commissions report, which was made
after very thorough study as to all
conditions"
A survey made by the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee shows that
the distance from hotels to audi
toriums in San Francisco is 10 min
utes by taxi, in Chicago, to miles;
in Pittsburgh, 3 to miles; in Detroit,
3 miles. AS in many other cities, the
auditorium at Atlantic City is con-
venient to some hotels, distant from
others.

Corrupt Politician
Dewey Brands Hines
In Review Of Case
Emotional Appeal
Of Defense Attacked
BY District Attorney
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-District
Attorney Thomas E. Dewey today
denounced James J. Hines as "a
corrupt politician" as he reviewed
the States case against the Tam
many district leader and asked for
his conviction on policy racket con-
spiracy charges.
Mr.. Dewey struck back at the de-
tense contention that Hines was the
victim Of "frame-up" at the hands
OF the policy mob he is charged with
protecting and told the jury that
Hines was "a traitor to democracy. :"
The prosecutor held that Lloyd
Paul Stryker, Hines lawyer, had
tried to create the impression that
"a corrupt politician accused of
protecting criminals" was a symbol
of democracy and a part in the fight
to preserve that democracy.
Emotional Appeal Hit.
THAT I resent as a dirty busi-
ness" Mr. Dewey said. That was a
willfully and filthy attempt to arouse
pity for an essential traitor to
democracy"
The district attorney scoffed at
what he termed Mr.. Stryker's "emo-
tional appeal" for an acquittal.
"The defense summation, said
Mr.. Dewey, has been fantastic
phantasmagory Of fiction, because
there were no facts. Ninety per
cent Of the peoples case is so strong
that it stands without contradiction
OF testimony or cross "
Mr.. Dewey then reviewed the
testimony which told the story of
the rise Of the policy racket and its
ultimate domination by Dutch
Schultz. He said that under
Schultz's domination and Hines
protection, the policy racket gang
opened public headquarters on
Lenox avenue to show the Harlem
public they were protected.
Never Suffered Raids.
"They were never molested, never
raided," Mr.. Dewey said "They had
served notice they were free from
fear of interference. Now these are
facts that can not be challenged.
How" he demanded, pounding
the table, could these things-the
falling off of police raids and ar
rests, the ostentatious bravado of
Schultz and the policymen-have
been possible without the connivance
of Hines?"
