ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 6.-The
Interpretation placed on an act of
Congress by Federal Judge Robert
N. Pollard is expected to decide the
question of whether a 28-year- old
Austrian-born woman may become
United States citizen today.
An application of Theresa Shirer
to become naturalized citizen was
one of % made in the United States
District Court for the Eastern Dis
trict Of Virginia, which convened
here yesterday. The applicant mar
ried William Lawrence, a Chicago
Tribune correspondent and an
American citizen, in Vienna, Austria,
in 1881, the court was told. Mr..
Lawrence later was a European rep
resentative for the Columbia Broad
casting System, it was stated.
The applicant came to the United
States on october 3, 1898, and sub
sequently applied for citizenship
papers without having actually re-
sided in this country the required
length of time. An amendment to
the Naturalization Act was passed
by Congress on June 20, 1898, and
the citizenship examiner yesterday
asked Judge Pollard to determine if
the woman could be admitted to
citizenship at this time. The ques-
ton involved is whether Mrs. Law
renee became resident" of Chi
cago, where her husband maintained
citizenship residence, at the time Of
her marriage in 1881. If such is the
case, she may be granted citizenship
at this time. Judge Pollard took the
question under advisement and in
dicated he would issue a ruling
today.

Revolution staged a special pro-

leahy Nomination
For Puerto Rico Post
Is Sent 10 Senate
White House Says Naval
Officer Will Assume
Position in September

Apparently ending speculation to
the effect that Admiral William d.
Ieahy, chief of naval operations,
was to become Secretary of the Navy
IN place of Secretary Swanson, the
White House announced today that
the retiring naval officer would as
sumo the governorship of Puerto Rico
about September l. The nomina-
ton was sent to the Senate today
for confirmation.
Admiral Leahy's pending appoint
nlent to this post to succeed Gov.
Blanton Winship was made known
by the White House several weeks
ago, but lack of definite information
about dates and the persistent ru-
mors of Secretary Swanson's immi-
nent retirement served to continue
speculation that the admiral might
be marked for the cabinet instead.
The White House made public to-
day an exchange of letters between
Gov. Winship and President Roose-
welt.
That of Gov Winship, retired
major general in the Army, noted
that he had been planning for more
than a year to ask his retirement
from the island and that he now
expects to complete his years re-
ports and pending work by the end
of July. At that time. he said, he
would like to go on leave, subject
te call, until his successor can take
over.
In reply, Mr.. Roosevelt wrote un-
der date of June that he was ac-
cepting the resignation and that
Admiral Leahy would be prepared
to assume the post about September
If the Senate confirms his ap-
pointment.
AS plans developed for this change
IN the island governorship, Mar
tinez Nadal and Bolivar Pagan, pres
ident and vice president of the
Puerto Rican Senate, conferred here
with Resident Commissioner San
tiago Iglesias about presentation Of
q request that the territory be given
full statehood or the right to elect
It's own Governor. 1t was explained
that there had been no criticism
of Admiral Leahy personally, but
that his selection without any no.
tice to island officials had given
rise to complaints and a renewal
of their demands for increased au-
tonomy.

In Call on Roosevelt
Moscow Desires World
Peace, He Says; Froneo's
Ambassador Is Visitor

BY the Associated Press.
Constantine A. OumanSky, the new
Soviet Ambassador, told President
Roosevelt today that Soviet-Amer-
lean friendship existing at this mo-
ment of international danger was

viously as Counselor of the Soviet

Presenting his new credentials to
the President. he said:
In the present international stu
alton, filled with menaces to general
peace, culture and progress, the feel
ings of mutual friendship between
our nations acquire great positive
significance. !" ."
THE foreign policy of my coun-
try is permeated with deep devotion
to peace. This policy is directed
toward prevention of war, counter
acting aggression and assistance to
peoples who are fighting against
the agressor for their independ-
ence'
Gen. Frances Ambassador to the
United States, Senor Don Juan
Francisco de Cardenas, also pre-
sented his credentials to the Presi-
dent. He said he hoped it would be
IAN easy task for me to make the
American people understand the
ideals Of the new Spain, ideals
which in the international order
can be expressed by an earnest de-
sire to collaborate in any action con-
ducive to harmony and peace"
Mr.. Roosevelt assured both en-
voys OF the cooperation of this Gov-
eminent at all times in maintaining
and developing friendly relations
with their countries.
Ambassador Oumansky observed
that Mr.. Roosevelt's recent appeal
to Hitler and Mussolini for peace
met with ardent response in the
hearts of the peoples of my coun-
try"

At the same time, he said In an

This reference was to President

speech, Mr.. Welles said:

impact upon disheartened men and
women everywhere, and the power

Rearmament Boom
In Britain Believed
Nearing lis Peak
Unemployment Drops
To Lowest Point Since
October, 1887
By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,

ChicaSo Daily News Foreign CORRESPONDENT.
LONDON, June e.-The rearma-
ment boom which Great Britain
has been experiencing for the last
four months is now in full swing
and is thought to be approaching
its zenith.
Due largely to the effect of re-
ornaments orders, registered unem-
ployment has now fallen to the low
est figure reached since the last baby
boom began to peter out in October.
1887. BY May Is. it was announced
last night, the number of registered
unemployed had fallen to 1892 ,2S2,
which was 152,112 less than the
month before and 286, ,523 less than
in May, 1888. The number of in
sured persons at work was 1857
600, which was $4,000 more than
the preceding month and 1000
more than the year before.
Employment Increased Greater.
Due to normal increase In en-
ployable population, the increase IN
employment is greater than the de-
crease in unemployment. Thus
about 2,000, 900 people have now been
put to work since the pit of the
great depression. while unemploy-
ment figures have fallen by only
1900. 900.
All types Of industry appear to
have profited by the upswing.
though rearmament industries have
been most radically affected. Among
new beneficiaries of the rearmament
program was the textile industry
which thanks to the demand for
new uniforms, absorbed several
thousand unemployed during the
month.
Economists believe that the pres-
ent boom has become more or less
stabilized and that while it NAV
continue during the balance of the
f1ve-year rearmament plan-which
Is due to end in 1942-it Is not
liable to increase very much in
tempo. The boom developed early
this spring, instead of early this
summer as experts had anticipated.
because of the sudden increase in
rearmament expenditure at the turn
Of the year.
Believed Near Peak.
Thus the amount spent during the
first quarter of this year was Is per
cent greater than that spent in the
final quarter of 1898, and more than
so per cent above the average for
1898. Since, in turn, the total ex-
penditure this year will be lust
about so per cent greater than last
year, 1t seems unlikely that the rate
OF expenditure will increase very
much.
Mere speed Of recovery of the
last few months should in itself give
rise to caution in prophesying its
continuance" says the Economist.
TO judge by the weekly returns of
the Governments expenditures,
they cannot be far from their peak.
Over the year as q whole, budget
estimates foresee an increase of 30
per cent In expenditure of supply
services, civil and military. But the
increase Of supply service expendi-
ture In the first eight weeks of the
financial year has been 81 per cent.
Expenditure will, Of course, continue
to increase during the year, but 1t
may be that the rate Of increase is
no longer rising"
