Party to Celebrate Centennial
OF Gen. UreH II Years Late
Spanish War Group
PIuns to Honor Hero
Now Dead Al Years
By Richord RODGERS

The late Brig. Gen. M. Emmett
Urell's Tooth birthday party Sat-
urday will be tardy by IL years.
6 months and >13 days.
"But better late than never, z
said Robert w. Livingston. It'll
North Edgewood street, Airing
ton. who is contributing his back
yard for the affair.
The hosts will be Spanish
American War veterans who
campaigned with Gen. Urell, now
dead A years.
He was born February 3, 1912.
In 1912, his Tooth anniversary
slipped past unnoticed here.
Now that his comrades have
finally caught up with IL. they
do not intend to postpone a cere-
mony to . more appropriate
date.
''If we waited until. say. the
125th anniversary" said MIR.
Livingston, who Is rs. wed ali

Dig Into Records.
Mr.. Livingston, senior vice
commander of the Gen. M. En-
met Urell Camp No. .. District of
Columbia Department. United
Spanish War Veterans. began
digging into records to learn
what sort Of man was this gen.
eral.
Records gave 1854 as the year
Of birth. and inspired the idea
Of a celebration this year. But
further. digging into files has
turned up 1912 as the right year.
Mr.. Livingston determined to
get on with the job nevertheless.
And It seemed none too soon
that public note was made Of
Michael Emmett Urell, . battler
Washington appears to have for
gotten.
He came here from Nenagh,
County Tipperary. in time to
cover himself with glory during
the Civil War.
Won Medal Of Honor.
In 1853, ct the age Of 10. he
seems to have collided forcefully
with the whole Confederate Ar
my ut Bristoe Station. He won
the Congressional Medal Of
Honor.
Details have been lost during
the years, but contemporaries
reported the boy, . color bearer,
was left for lifeless on the battle
field, surrounded by Q ring Of
bodies. His bayonet was blooded
and his musket stock was shat
tered from hard work as q shille-
lagh. Happily. someone noted in
time he was still alive.
When the Spanish War began,
Urell returned to service as q
major in the District National
Guard, acclaimed as its most
popular officer.
This popularity no doubt
stemmed from his consideration
for the troops. Like the time he
had to 60 hunting his command
around sailing time. He found
the soldiers assembled In Q
saloon.
Mustn't Miss the B0at.
Boys" he roared, shat boat
is ready to sail and we mustn't
miss It,"
Then he stood up to the bar,
summoned o glass, and shouted
Lets 60! After we have one
more drink"
In 1910, Gen. Urell, by then q
past commander Of the Depart
ment Of the Potomac q. A. r.
and past commander-in-chief Of
the Spanish War Veterans, be-
came Ill.
His physician prescribed q sea
voyage. The patient sailed for
Cork, where he died. The body
was returned to Arlington Gene
terry.
At the party this Saturday,
the approximately 100 guests
might hear q repeat Of tribute
Gen. Urell received at a banquet,
as reported in The Star Of those
days.

settlement.
At the same time they ex-
pressed the view that Russia's
move could be designed as much
to delay French parliamentary
approval Of the European army
plan as to bring about any re-
taxation In Asia and any i'm
provements in relations with
Red China.
According to all available in
formation from official sources,
the Western ministers are con-
WINGED that Mr.. Molotov at this
point is playing peace as a lure
to win acceptance of Red China
as great power. They think
he is holding out hopes which
in any such conference would
be mostly, if not entirely, shat
tered.
Their conviction in this regard,
as Mr.. Eden has stressed, is but
tressed by Mr.. Molotov's stalls
on negotiating on Germany.
Mr.. Molotov was in the chair
as the fourth days session got
under way.
Mr.. Molotov ignored demands
yesterday by the western min
listers that the conference get
on to the problems of Germany
and Austria.
There was no indication the
Russian would change his posi-
ton today while running the
meeting.
Western diplomats conceded
he could tie up the conference
indefinitely if he chose. They
did not know how soon they
would be able to get to the Ger
man and Austrian problems,
which they claim are the main
business at Berlin.

McCarran Act Blasted
In Speech by Lehman
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. Jan. 28.-Sena-
tor Lehman, Democrat, Of New
York, said last night United
States immigration laws "have
pointed the finger of hypocrisy
at our claim that we are devoted
to justice for all and that we
are the home of the brave and
the land of the free"
In a speech to a dinner spon-
sored by the Jewish Labor Com
mittee of Baltimore. Senator
Lehman was especially critical
of the McCarran-Walter Act.
1--WE cannot urge the italian
people to follow our leadership
in world affairs and at the same
time tell Italians that they are
only one-twelfth as fit as Anglo
Saxons to immigrate here, and
to become American citizens, I"
he said.
Yet that is what the Nc
Carran Act says.
I'VE cannot tell the Greeks to
stand firm against Soviet ag-
erosion. but at the same time
tell. them that we consider
them such poor citizenship ma
terial that we will only admit
$50 of them every year to this
country, while we are willing to
admit $1,000 Englishmen.
"Yet that it what the Nc
Carran Act tells them"

Peace in Indo-China

BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Jan. 28.-Izvestia
declared today Western OPPOSE
ton to admitting Communist
China to a f1ve-power confer
ence is blocking peaceful settle
ments in Korea and Indo- China.
The statement in the official
Soviet government newspaper on
the Berlin meeting was seen here
as a clear indication that the
Soviet Union is Offering the pos
sibility of peace in Indo-China
to France in return for French
agreement to admit representa-
tives from Peiping to big power
parley on easing world tensions.
Hit Bankrupt" Arguments.
Izvestia said Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov had exposed
the bankruptcy" of arguments
by United States Secretary
Dulles. French Foreign Minister
Bidault and British Foreign Sec
rotary Eden in opposing a five
power conference.
Mr.. Bidault Joined Dulles and
Eden in Berlin yesterday in re-
jecting Soviet proposals for a
five power conference. But Mr..
Bidault added that if Commu-
mist China stopped aiding the
Wet Mimi in Indo- China. such
a meeting might be considered.
IzveStia added: THE oppoSi-
ton of the governments of the
western powers to convocation Of
the five power conference shows
that these governments are act
ing against the will of the, mil
lions of peoples who are yearn-
ing for relaxation of tension and
the promotion of peace.
Dulles Criticized.
ITO oppose convocation of a
meeting of the five powers with
the participation of China means
to block peaceful settlement of
such problems as Korea and In
do-China."
The newspaper accused Mr..
Dulles of making crude attacks"
against the Chinese Communist
regime. 1t said the American
secretary was imagining things"
when he called the Chinese ag-
greSSorS.
This appeared to be buildup
to place the blame on the West

The United States Courts of
Appeals here upheld today the

Under the plan. one or more
channels were assigned to each

which had sought to compel the
commission to assign channel 10
to Logansport and Greensboro,

launched into a half-hour ora
ton in support of his original
demand. AS one American off,
cial saw it, his promises for a
five-power conference included
every miraculous solution that
might tempt the weary and
wishful. Among them were re-
Taxation of world tensions. new
political understandings. agree
ment on control Of atomic en-
ergy and disarmament. economic
improvement. increase in world
trade. settlement in Korea and
peace in Indo-China.
If Mr.. Molotov seemed to have
just begun to fight there was no
disposition on part of the allies
to yield ground. Mr.. Dulles re-
lection of Mr.. Molotov's pro-
posals was the first solid evil
dence Of the intensive prepara-
ton that has gone into this
meeting. There was no fishing
for arguments. no hesitation on
where to draw the line. The
allied position had been care
fully worked out ahead of time
and firmly buttressed.
West to Hold Position.
1t can be stated on good au-
thority that the position will be
held. On this matter the allies
will not concede as they did on
the question of a meeting place
for the Berlin talks. II the Rus
slams want to wreck the confer
ence on this issue. the way for
them to do it is wide open.
The reasons why the allies
won't concede are clear enough.
The official view is that Russia
is trying to go back to the early
postwar theory of world rule by
a hannfh of major powers.
In turning their backs on that
idea the allied leaders feel them
selves supported by the over
whelming weight OF world opin-
ion. If a major propaganda bat
tie is to be fought on this issue.
they have no fear whatever about
the outcome.
Expected to Yield Later
Few of the more informed peo-
pie here believe that the Russians
would be SO foolish as to fight
to the end for the talks they
want. Some think MIR. Molotov
will build a case for q
f1ve-power conference as much
as he can over the next
few days and then finally yield
as a concession" to save the
conference from a premature
demise. These experts see the
present hassle as an attempt by
the Russians to establish a bar
gaining point which might be
useful when the conference gets
down to the more serious bust
ness.
1t is not in the Soviet nature,
however. that the retreat should
be made gracefully or promptly
Despite Mr.. Dulles plea, it is
certain tnat good deal Of time
will in fact be frittered away be-
fore the substantive problems OF
the conference can be taken up
It has been suggested that
Western leaders can shorten this
time by simply refusing to talk
about five-power conference
and allowing Mr.. Molotov to FL
libuster to his hearts content
This. however. would appear q
radical and possibly dangerous
remedy to the problem which
confronts the allies.

conference could not be q
temporary one. He said it was
Incredible" that the four here.
plus Chou En-lai. would be able
to solve political. military and
economic problems with which
the United Nations had grappled
for nine years.
The tasks which Mr.. Molotov
outlined yesterday for the five-
power notwithstanding from
atomic disarmament to Asian
settlements-would compel it to
become permanent, Mr.. Dulles
said.
Mr.. Dulles then made his de-
mand to move on in these
words:
MY feeling Is that we have
had an adequate first-round ex-
change of views on this sub
ject (the f1ve-power idea) and
that without forgetting what
has been said we should now
move on to an exchange Of views
regarding the problems relating
to Germany and Austria
Mr.. Dulles said he had devel-
oped great admiration for Mr..
Molotov's skill as a diplomat in
the past and that the Russian
had not lost his touch.
Cites MOlOtov Rabbits"
He said Mr.. Molotov had pulled
out of the hat rabbits for all of
u.s." He gave as examples of Mr.
Molotov's magic-rabbit peace
for Korea. peace for mdo- China.
an end of the atom race. a set
tlement Of specific problems and
a tremendous increase in eco
nomic prosperity.
! He said Mr.. Molotov promised
these achievements would be
made possible if only the West
ern powers would invite Red
China'S Chou to the conference
table.
The American diplomat said
he looked over the U. N. charter
again only this morning and
found that every plan Mr.. Molo-
tov proposes can be handled by
the U. N. Then he pinpointed
his conclusion:
Because the United Nations
has refused to admit into its
councils a proclaimed aggressor
Red China) Mr.. Molotov con-
tends the United Nations must
be penalized by having its re-
sponsibilities transferred to the
aggresSor.
Mr.. Moltov has entertained
us by an exhibition of his ability
to make the preposterous seem
plausible. However. we did not
come here for entertainment.
We came here in the hopes Of
doing some serious business"
Leaves Way Open.
Though Mr.. dulles speech was
bitterly sarcastic and his as
suits on Chou En-lai were sharp,
his windup paragraph stopped
far short of seeking to eliminate
from the Berlin meeting any fur
Their discussion Of the five-power
proposition.
my feeling is that We have
had an adequate 'firSt-round'
exchange of views on this SUBJ
ject and that. without forget
ting what has been said, We
now move on to an exchange of
views regarding the two other
agenda items relating to Ger
many and Austria"
This leaving the door un-
locked If Mr.. Molotov will get
on to work on the German and
Austrian problems appeared to
be in line with the determine
ton of the three Western mini
sters to take every opportunity
for exploring any willingness Mr..
Molotov may have to negotiate
or promote specific peace settle
ments particularly with respect
to Indo-China.

Northwestern honors Howard Dean

CHICAGO, III. Feb. 90, Especially
DIR. Russell A. Dixon dean of
Howard University's dental school,
last week presided over the an
nual Northwestern University dem

Hilton hotel here.
DR.. Dixon was chosen last year
to serve as chairman of his class
of 1929 for the current year. Ac-
cording to tradition each North
western University class is honor

During the dinner, thousands of
dental alumni present gave a
standing ovation to him and to DIR.

who is dean of Northwestern den
tai school.
The class of 1929 is the first in
the history of the dental school
to have two deans of dental COL
leges chosen from it's ranks.
